Chapter 125: 93 Khorne, eat shit! (4000 words, please subscribe)_2

To cope with the situation, the Church Bishop immediately had the projections opened.

Subsequently, countless gigantic screens appeared around the divine hall, allowing everyone to clearly see the situation inside.

Inside and outside the divine hall, the atmosphere was lively and harmonious, with numerous people barely concealing their excitement, eagerly anticipating the arrival of the divine being. Meanwhile, atop the city walls of the Imperial Capital, a quiet yet tense atmosphere prevailed. Twelve Seat Knights, each leading their own troops, were stationed at a corner of the city walls, their expressions solemn and serious, ready for the arrival of the Catastrophe Legion at any moment.

As the first rays of the sun rose from the east...

"My family, good morning, noon, and night, I am Gaia’s Divine Envoy, you may call me Brother Cheng."

Le Cheng appeared at the very center of the divine hall, waving at the surrounding people with a friendly smile, and not far behind him was a life-sized statue of Mother Gaia raised on a platform.

The crowd, whether onsite or through screens, looked at Le Cheng somewhat surprised; on one hand, they were astonished that the legendary Divine Envoy was so young and handsome, and on the other, they felt that this Divine Envoy didn’t possess that aloof air, casually calling people family and brother, endearingly strange.

"Today is a very important day for everyone, for we are here to welcome the arrival of the deity, and especially for me. Thinking of how Mother Gaia is so beloved and worshipped by so many, I feel even more reassured. I sincerely hope that everyone here can receive the protection of Mother Gaia. However, not everyone is so fortunate. Therefore, before that, I have to announce something... step forward!"

As Le Cheng’s voice fell, several groups of figures gradually stepped out from the ranks of the Church staff.

Initially, they did not pay particular attention, as they knew that they were to undertake an important task today. But as these individuals stepped out one after the other and faced the familiar faces across from them, their expressions quickly turned to confusion.

Forty-seven converts, after donating a total of five hundred thousand Gold Coins, five were successfully promoted to Publicity Directors of the Church, while the other forty-two were taken by their side as extracurricular personnel of the Church to participate in the God Welcoming ritual.

In order to avoid arousing the Church’s suspicion, these converts had deliberately dispersed their group, occupying different positions. However, they didn’t know that Le Cheng had already marked all of them during their pilgrimage to the Imperial Capital square.

Afterwards, he even instructed the Church hierarchy, informing them to carry out an important task on God Welcoming Day.

As an undercover agent, when you’ve successfully infiltrated the enemy camp, have gained the camp leader’s trust, and are entrusted with a special mission, which if failed, may determine the survival of the camp, what would you do?

Obviously, the majority would choose to botch the mission.

These converts thought they had concealed themselves well, their diligent daily work won them trust from the higher-ups, so they eagerly awaited the arrival of the critical moment. Even when they stepped out from the ranks, their faces were filled with pride and smugness.

However, when they saw those familiar faces also stepping forward, confusion took hold of their expressions, and they quickly became alert.

They had a vague premonition that something was not right, but at this point, under the eyes of tens of thousands, they had no way back.

Soon, the forty-seven converts were gathered together, standing opposite Le Cheng.

Most of the onlookers didn’t understand what was happening, their faces filled with curiosity.

Le Cheng, wearing a smile, looked at those forty-seven people, then gently clapped his hands, saying with a laugh: "Mother Gaia is a deity who embraces all, whether human or dog, as long as you truly believe in Gaia, the power of the earth will protect you. So, please let us give a warm welcome to these forty-seven converts joining the Gaia Church, let’s applaud!"

The thunderous applause, however, did not materialize as expected. Upon hearing Le Cheng’s words, everyone’s eyes widened.

"What? Converts?"

"Aren’t they the staff of the Church? I was helped by them the day before yesterday."

"But the Divine Envoy said they are converts..."

"It can’t be true, can it?"

"Could the Divine Envoy’s words be false?"

"Brother, are you really a convert?"

"Damn it, there are converts who have infiltrated our ranks!"

"..."

The scene immediately filled with whispering sounds, the people at first confused, then surprised, but out of trust in the gods and the Divine Envoy, they quickly accepted the fact that these were converts and started cursing, some even among the crowd were friends and relatives of the converts, disbelievingly questioning.

Faced with the questions and curses of countless people, the converts panicked.

For an undercover, the greatest glory is to declare "I am an undercover" to the enemy, a peerless highlight of one’s life, but it’s completely different when the enemy points out "you are undercover"; undoubtedly, that is the darkest moment in an undercover career.

They couldn’t comprehend how they had been exposed, given they had concealed themselves so deeply and had been dedicated to every task arranged by the Church.

But even when publicly called out by Le Cheng, they wouldn’t admit it honestly.

"I, I am not a convert, don’t falsely accuse me!"

"Divine Envoy, we respect you, but please don’t slander our innocence."

"That’s right, we’re all honest folks, how could we be converts, those unparented beasts!"

"If no one believes me, I am willing to prove my innocence with my death!"

While making their excuses, the converts covertly communicated with each other. They quickly came to a conclusion that perhaps Le Cheng, the Divine Envoy, had some special ability to discern their identities, so it wouldn’t be possible for all forty-seven converts to be exposed. But, no matter what Le Cheng claimed, in the end, it was just his own assertion. As long as they all denied it, how could he produce any convincing evidence?

Subject them to extreme interrogation in front of everyone?

If it really came to that, the reputation of the Gaia Church would be undoubtedly damaged, which would actually be playing right into their hands.

Even, they had already secretly decided that they would sacrifice some lives if necessary, in order to protect the ’innocence’ of the others.

Ptui!

Suddenly, a convert holding a dagger pierced his own heart.

As blood flowed from his chest, his body slowly fell to the ground, his face still showing no change of color, he said in anger and grief: "Divine Envoy, and everyone else, whether I am a convert or not, you will see..."

Gradually, the convert stopped breathing, his body lay still on the ground.

However, there was no abnormality with his blood, no Catastrophe Legion was summoned, nothing happened.

As is well known, when converts commit suicide, they would Summon the Catastrophe Legion, but now...

Seeing this, the people who had been convinced, started to doubt again, had the Divine Envoy really wronged them? Were they truly not converts?

Only Le Cheng, still with a smile, clapped his hands, "Proving by death, that’s really impressive. If it were anyone else, they might have been fooled by you... Alright, if you want me to believe you’re not converts, that’s fine, and you don’t even need to prove it with death, just repeat the words I say."

"What words?" the converts asked.

Le Cheng pointed to the sky with a smile.

"We all know that every action of a believer is watched by the god they worship, so, follow me and curse—Khorne, you son of a bitch, eat shit!"

"Come, all you innocents, just repeat what I said a hundred times, and I will believe you are not converts."

Upon these words, the scene fell into utter silence.
