Chapter 561 -494: Sun and Moon Shine Together, The Ascension Ritual!_2

At this moment, Alvis was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot with its forelimbs raised in futile resistance. At the instant of contact with the energy wave, the golden-red scepter in his hands had already burst apart, followed swiftly by his body!

Seething heat, shuddering, and anguish that stemmed from the soul all surged up at once. However, everything happened in a blink. Alvis’ Energy Body was torn apart directly, disintegrating inch by inch, utterly destroyed on an atomic level…

Next was the Sky Dome Tower behind him. Despite its force field defenses, they were nowhere near as substantial as the layers protecting the Holy City.

Most of the energy wave was blocked outside, with only a small portion dissipating inside, which nonetheless remained daunting.

For at this moment, the diameter of the column of light had exceeded one hundred meters, and it went straight through, obliterating the Sky Dome Tower entirely.

“No!” Witnessing the Sky Dome Tower blown to pieces, the ascetic Rava and Saint Randall’s eyes were bulging with horror as they felt the Divine Power within them being stripped away.

Lynn, extremely cautious, did not let down his guard simply because the Sky Dome Tower had been destroyed; his gaze firmly fixed ahead.

After the flames and dust dissipated, the towering tower had vanished from everyone’s sight, yet there was not nothing in its place. A strange Crystal Stone was floating in mid-air.

To have something completely undamaged in the midst of the “Atomic Breath” energy wave was shocking, even if it were merely minor remnants of it, enough to astonish Lynn and the others.

In the next moment, a dazzling figure transitioned from ethereal to reality, and that strange Crystal Stone then embedded itself into her forehead. An immense and pervasive breath spread throughout the Holy City, bringing an indescribable sense of oppression upon everyone present.

“Lord, you have finally descended!” Rava, the ascetic, despite his injuries, shouted fervently without any care for himself.

Lynn, Harrov, and others recognized the figure before them as the true form of the Moon Goddess, Elara, who had descended from Heaven’s Gate!

And at that moment, the full moon appeared in the sky, creating a spectacle of the Sun and Moon shining together at midday.

…

“Great Lord, may Your glory shine upon the world, never to fall into the abyss.” “My Lord, I confess my sins and beseech You to forgive my transgressions.”

The moment she recalled her true body, a voluminous chorus of prayers echoed in Elara’s mind, these memories lingering within the Soul Power she had absorbed into her being.

There were both devout prayers and many sordid memories.

This was the poison of faith; the former could gradually shape the prayed-for into the god that believers perceived, a double-edged sword of both aid and harm, while the latter were utterly useless and detrimental!

Of course, with the computing power of a legendary Wizard, even harvesting hundreds of souls at once couldn’t cause too much impact.

But if this number expanded to tens or hundreds of millions, even a legend might be completely overwhelmed by the endless chanting, their sanity washed away by the onslaught of memories.

This was the origin of Evil Gods…

Back then, there were no few Wizards contesting with her for this Divinity, many of whom did not fall to her hands, but rather, in their haste to gain power quickly, ultimately perished in their own believers’ prayers.

Elara, of course, did not wish for such an outcome, so she used the Incarnation Method to split her consciousness into two parts. She detached the part containing thoughts and walked the world in the guise of a Holy Maiden, leaving behind only the purest rationality to face the poison of faith.

“Heaven Descends!” Within the Divine Residence, Elara, bearing the corrosion of the poison of faith, softly parted her lips, and then, within the Divine Residence, summoned Heaven.

In an instant, within this expanse of void, grass and trees skyrocketed, rivers emerged, dream sprites soared in the sky, massive trees erupted from the ground, and mountains and rivers extended beneath her feet…

This promised land was the Divine Residence!

Across the vast plains and the smooth land, one figure after another materialized, their mouths singing hymns, their expressions both devout and uncanny.

This was precisely the fate of the devout believers who had been taken into the Divine Kingdom. Their souls, instead of being merged by the Moon Goddess, were placed within the Divine Kingdom. Over time, under the baptism of divine power, they gradually forgot their memories, leaving behind only their most devout faith.

Now, she was preparing to use their faith and devotion to “purify” this divine force!

After all, within the divine force was the residual power of the lost Moon God. The Moon Goddess had nearly unified the entire continent through her church, and after centuries of exploration and accumulation, she finally had full confidence in merging it.

The sacred hymns floated up as Heaven’s Gate expanded, echoing endlessly. According to the Moon Goddess’s calculations, as long as her “Divine Power” covered every corner of the divine force, she would be able to take control of it, using its power to completely eradicate the poison of faith.

Just then, a quiet moon appeared in the sky, with moonlight showering down and piercing through the expanding Heaven’s Gate.

“Moon God, Diana, the origin of all!” the Moon Goddess’s face took on a grave expression as she slowly recited this name.

As she spoke, the entire void began to shake violently, and the moonlight grew even brighter, faintly revealing a slumbering figure.

The Moon Goddess clearly sensed that her Divine Kingdom was being suppressed. Her rapidly expanding Divine Kingdom showed signs of collapsing under the reflection of the “moonlight.”

Is it still not enough?

The Moon Goddess’s expression became grave, a god who had been dead for centuries, yet even their remaining power possessed an indescribable terror…

“Return!” After pondering for a moment, the Moon Goddess spoke. She wanted to reclaim her power!

Simultaneously, throughout the empire, the bishops and priests residing in various cities all felt the summons of their lord. They were about to enter Heaven’s Gate!

Some were ecstatic, kneeling down on the ground without hesitation, waiting for this blessing.

Others were filled with a mix of joy and fear, anxious and unsettled, as they did not wish to die, at least not willing to enter Heaven’s Gate just yet.

However, regardless of their wishes, it was meaningless. The moment they were baptized and became clergy, they were branded, and their fate was no longer their own. The Divine Energy within their bodies began to stir, directly stripping them of their lives.

The harvest had begun!

In the Heaven’s Gate, which was on the verge of collapsing, one figure after another appeared. The power of their faith was much stronger than that of the ordinary devout believers, and this added strength quickly stabilized the situation.

However, the Moon Goddess’s face changed abruptly because the forceful reaping of the church’s clergy had generated far more resentment than she had anticipated!

She listened to the unwilling roars of countless bishops who had been deprived of their lives, but more so to the questions and curses.

“I am still young; I don’t want to die…” “This can’t be possible, this can’t be possible! How could I possibly be using magic? It’s all fake, all fake!” “God is actually a Wizard, and we are but reserves of grain for God.” “I curse you, Moon Goddess, may your divine body be burned in the furious flames, and your soul eternally fall into darkness!”

Without a doubt, this was the effect of the relentless propaganda campaign carried out by the Council over several days. Dozens of warplanes flew day and night, dropping over a million leaflets every day!

Even though the vast majority of clergymen scoffed at the content, after a prolonged period of propaganda, some religious officials could not help but try it out.

As soon as they learned the basic magic described therein, they would be surprised to find that they were no different from Wizards, that they too could wield the power of the devil, and would then believe in the rest of the words on the leaflets, even becoming apostates!

Now, these believers whose faith had collapsed, still possessing the Divine Energy within them, were absorbed into the Divine Kingdom without screening.

The backlash arrived swiftly. The Heaven’s Gate, which had finally stabilized, began to show increasing cracks. The earth collapsed, the waters became tainted, and moonlight shone upon every believer within Heaven’s Gate.

Their sounds of praise became louder, yet the name of the deity many of them invoked had changed to that of another.

“Diana, Moon God, your glory dispels the darkness, lighting up the night sky…” “Diana, my lord, you are the light, the bright moon, coexisting with the stars and the Sun!”
