I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1546 - Chapter 1546 Chapter 1547 The Right Choice

Chapter 1546: Chapter 1547: The Right Choice Chapter 1546: Chapter 1547: The Right Choice “This is all of your own doing; bear the consequences yourself, hmph!” Priest Torres snorted, “I refuse to believe that Song Jian would dare to kill all the citizens of the City of Light, over a million people!”

As soon as Priest Torres finished speaking, he sensed a powerful presence fast approaching from the direction of Blood-red Canyon. His face changed color, and with a kick, he sent Lord Toss flying, leaped into the air, unfolded his wings of light, and soared towards the sky. Moments later, his figure turned into a streak of light and vanished.

“He, he ran away…” Lord Toss was stunned, his face frozen in a dazed expression.

Boom~

Outside the City of Light, a pale golden barrier had risen. Song Jian brought his sword down, causing the barrier to tremble violently from the impact.

Divine Fall!

With a thought from Song Jian, the Sword Qi of Chaos surged wildly, condensing into a several-meters-long sword beam that he fiercely slashed at the golden barrier.

From the Chaos Sword Canon, Song Jian had comprehended two sword techniques, the Red Dust Tribulation and Divine Fall, the former being a group attack skill and the latter a single-target damage skill, both of immense power.

Boom boom boom~

The Sky-breaking Sword unleashed numerous sword beams, turning into lightsabers that slashed fiercely against the golden barrier. Instantly, the energy consumed by the golden barrier soared significantly.

One after another, the Chaos Sword beams struck the defensive barrier. If it had been the barrier constructed by the City of Hope, it would have already been destroyed by Song Jian, but the City of Light’s defense barrier, despite shaking violently, did not break.

However, the earth-shaking booms had caught the attention of everyone in the City of Light. The city’s defenders had already taken their positions on the walls in preparation for battle, and as they looked up at the brilliant Chaos Sword beams in the sky, a look of horror appeared on their faces.

“Lord Song, the City of Hymns is under the protection of the Church of Light. Do you not fear provoking the Church by attacking the City of Light?” a middle-aged man in armor with a full beard shouted, holding a Battle Halberd in his hand.

“Kong, Guardian Kong, Song Jian has already killed an entire Punishment Squad from the City of Hope, along with a white-robed Priest…” a soldier whispered beside him.

The battle that Song Jian fought in Blood-red Canyon had already spread to the City of Hymns.

Upon hearing of Song Jian’s ferocity, Kong Qing, with combat power at the third-tier peak, paled and no longer dared to shout loudly.

“I’m just a captain in charge of defense; shouldn’t such matters be resolved by those higher-ups? Why should I be the one facing this head-on, and besides, he hasn’t breached the city’s defenses yet!” Kong Qing thought to himself. At the same time, he turned his gaze towards the center of the city, locking onto the largest and tallest building there.

Boom!

In the end, the golden barrier could not withstand Song Jian’s assault and shattered, collapsing altogether. Along with it, a towering spire in the central building of the city also toppled with a thunderous crash.

The city’s barrier defense was actually completely controlled by the Church of Light within the City of Light, and that tower was the control tower for the barrier’s defense.

Song Jian’s attack had exceeded the defensive limits of the light barrier; ultimately, unable to withstand the damage, the defense completely shattered and was entirely destroyed. This also led to the direct destruction of the control tower in the City of Hope!

“Blasphemer, you dare attack the pasture of the God of Light…” An angry voice erupted from the church of the Church of Light, as an elderly man clad in a golden robe, wielding a magic staff, soared into the air.

Clearly, he too was a powerhouse from the Legendary Realm!

Song Jian glanced at him, a trace of coldness appearing at the corner of his mouth. This elder was obviously a bishop of the City of Hymns, the church of the Church of Light. Behind him, seven or eight formidable figures also rose up, one of whom turned out to be the previous bishop of the City of Hope’s church of the Church of Light.

“Bishop Morse, I didn’t expect to meet you again so soon!” Song Jian greeted the bishop of the City of Hope’s church with a smile.

Bishop Morse’s face showed an awkward expression. In the City of Hope, the City Lord Mansion did not suppress the various churches; they could freely preach, albeit apart from the natives in the game world, players rarely joined these churches. They would only take on some missions from these churches and get mission rewards.

In the eyes of these followers, players were the chosen of the Creator God and could not possibly become core members of their respective churches.

“City Lord Song, the Church of Light has tens of millions of followers, thousands of Legendary Realm powerhouses. You alone cannot oppose them. Once you truly enrage His Excellency the God of Light, perhaps He will order a holy war to be waged. By then, let alone a mere level-five city, even those chosen of the same rank as you may well be completely erased from this continent!” Bishop Morse said with deep concern.

“Hahaha, Bishop Morse, don’t you know that I just exterminated one of the Church of Light’s Punishment Squads, and even killed a white-robed priest, and his soul body was obliterated by me, completely falling!” Song Jian laughed loudly. “I have long been at irreconcilable odds with the Church of Light. If the God of Light truly wants to kill me, then let Him come. I will wait for Him in the City of Hope!”

Hearing Song Jian’s blasphemous words, all the followers of the Church of Light cast disgusted looks at Song Jian, and at the same time, loud hymns resounded within the church.

The Church of Light had a vast number of followers. Although not particularly strong, it didn’t mean they couldn’t pose a threat to Song Jian. As more and more people chanted hymns, Song Jian could feel an inexplicable divine power entwining around him, giving him a sensation that his body was gradually becoming heavier.

Learning that Song Jian had killed a white-robed priest and completely obliterated the other’s soul, the bishop of the Church of Light, the Light Knight Commander, and some of the priests behind him all looked at each other with vastly changed expressions, seeing a mix of solemnity and a trace of fear in one another’s eyes.

Given their status, they could expect the God of Light’s protection after death, their soul bodies taken to the Divine Country of the God of Light. There, they would either enjoy blessings in the divine realm or be reshaped by divine power into angel-like beings, continuing their service to the Church of Light.

But if Song Jian truly had the capability to obliterate the soul, their only way out would be gone, reducing their combat power by at least a third.

“City Lord Song, did you really come here intending to obliterate the entire City of Hymns, to kill over a million people of the City of Hymns?” Bishop Morse couldn’t help but ask.

At this moment, inside the church of the City of Hymns of the Church of Light, including the Legendary Realm powerhouses Morse had brought, there were only nine people. These people were not even enough to fill the gaps between Song Jian’s teeth, and Morse had personally witnessed Song Jian kill more than ten Legendary Realm powerhouses without sustaining a single injury.

“The City of Hymns has detained a caravan from the City of Hope; its people’s safety must be guaranteed, and the caravan’s goods must be returned, along with compensation!” Song Jian shouted loudly.

Hearing what Song Jian said, Bishop Morse and the bishop of the City of Hymns church of the Church of Light glanced at each other, feeling relieved. They hurriedly responded, “City Lord Song, all this was a decision made solely by the lord of the City of Hymns, unrelated to the Church of Light. But rest assured, I believe the City of Hymns will take responsibility for this matter and make the right choice…”
