Hero? Are You Worthy?

Chapter 651: 474

Otherwise, if every day was spent solely in prayer here, it would be exceedingly dull and tedious.

Even the clergymen of the Holy Court likely wouldn’t have the nerve to kill so many elders all at once, would they?

Age, at this moment, became an advantage.

Veronica’s brows were deeply furrowed; although she did not wish to kill a large number of elders at this time, as a fanatic, she was capable of anything, especially when these people posed a threat to His Holiness the Pope’s safety.

The next instant, the tall Knight Captain raised her right hand.

With a whoosh, numerous clergymen simultaneously drew their swords. Under the gentle illumination of the Magic Lamps, the blades gleamed with a chilling light.

Hiss!

At that moment, each elder gasped for air, shuddering with fear, their eyes fixed on the surrounding swords.

They swallowed continually, gulping down their saliva.

They wouldn’t really dare to strike, would they?

That would be thousands of elderly, after all.

Surely the mighty Holy Court wouldn’t commit such cruel acts. Surely they were just trying to scare them, definitely...

The people hesitated on the spot, wanting to step forward but fearful, wanting to step back but reluctant to forfeit the free food.

"Desecrators."

Qin Chu spoke in a cold voice, "Either leave this place or leave your corpses."

"All clergymen, heed my command. Should anyone dare take another step forward, it shall be seen as an act of disrespect towards the Goddess, an assault on the Pope."

Gulp.

The clergymen around, holding weapons, now had a vicious glint in their eyes; being perceived as attackers of the Pope gave them the right to kill on the spot.

"I don’t believe you would really dare." An elderly voice shattered the silence.

It was an old man with white hair and beard, his face filled with rage. He was the one who had cursed the loudest and rushed to the front earlier.

But this time, he hesitated.

This old man was clearly more cunning than the others. With a roll of his cloudy eyes, it seemed he had a plan in mind.

The next second, he suddenly turned to face all the other believers in the vast square, as if using all his strength, he bellowed, "Everyone, listen to me!"

"The Holy Court is nothing but a bunch of ingrates who discard you after crossing the river. They give us food that’s barely edible and expect us to toil for free for the rest of our lives? Dream on."

"They should be paying us for our labor. We sit here praying every day; it’s hard work, and a little compensation isn’t too much to ask for, is it?"

"Now they can kick us aside, and in the future, the same could happen to you. Only if we all unite and stand up against them can we defend the benefits we deserve."

The old man’s words were rather stirring, and indeed, some confused elders felt they had sacrificed much hardship. Merely receiving free food daily hardly compensated for their efforts. After a moment’s hesitation, they joined the others.

In no time, at least two thousand people crowded in front of Qin Chu, a vast throng.

The remaining elders looked at these people with either disdain or pity.

These fools, did they not know who the newly appointed Pope of the Holy Court was? On his very first day in office, he slaughtered tens of thousands of clergymen. Did they really think they could make him yield with their aged bones?

Wishful thinking.

"Record the identities of all these people, including their family members. They shall never become believers of the Holy Court. Then drive them out. If they resist, force may be used." Qin Chu snapped his fingers with a pop and then turned to leave, prepared to move on to the next area.

Before long, Qin Chu could faintly sense some slight changes in the Death Divinity.

He knew that Veronica had taken action, and the first death had occurred.

It seemed that not only his own actions but also the deaths of those under his command on his orders would contribute to the strength of the Death Divinity. How very convenient.

...

Elsewhere, in the Void.

Having been rid of those terrible negative emotions, the Holy Light Little Goddess, with her own strength, faced no pressure in absorbing these energies.

In just a short time, the energy was completely transformed into the Little Goddess’s own power.

It was only then that the Holy Light Little Goddess finally opened her eyes.

Her golden pupils now shimmered with a silvery sheen.

"Truly filled with malice, indeed."

The corners of her mouth curved up slightly, muttering softly with a touch of disgust and a faint tremble in her voice.

This was the pure power of the Strongest Evil God, unmistakable to the Little Goddess. As a Goddess who had fought that terrifying being for years, she knew this energy better than any other.

Suddenly, her expression turned worried and somewhat pitiful!
