Chapter 1571: Chapter 1111: The Advantage is Mine

"You actually hid such strength! Was it the apostle of the Foreign God? Do you truly believe in the Foreign God so much? How dare you arrogantly accept the blessings of the Foreign God?" The pope of the church, an elderly man with white hair.

Now, when this old man was meeting with King Tian Ming, he sternly questioned in front of all the civil and military officials, "Have you not considered the price for the Foreign God’s assistance?"

The church is one hundred percent certain that the equipment of the human kingdom’s army comes from the blessings of the Foreign God.

For them, this native religion, it is a great offense.

You know, behind the church there really is a Divinity watching over!

It is precisely because of this that the church has an extraordinary status.

Any member of the church does not have to pay taxes to the empire.

Any problems that arise among the church’s believers are also handled entirely by the church.

Without going through the imperial laws, indeed assuming the stance of a Heavenly Kingdom on earth.

This also makes the church’s pope dare to speak to a kingdom in such a way!

Among the civil and military officials, some are angry and some are indifferent.

If, in a world without Divinity, religion dared to threaten the kingdom like this, the king ought to say, ’God, how many troops do you have?’

But in this world, a ’God’ really exists, and more than forty percent of the empire’s citizens are believers of the religion.

The church itself even has its own protective army corps not inferior to the human kingdoms, not participating in Divine Will Battles, and not commanded by any kingdom.

The church has already become a massive entity that dominates the human world in every aspect.

Normally, the human empire can only tacitly accept the church’s threats.

But now... it seems there has been a slight change.

"Yes, in the homeland where Divinity watches over us, to still seek strength from a Foreign God. It may indeed lead to terrible consequences." Tian Ming replied with a light smile, "But, could the so-called consequences be worse than the current situation?"

Upon this remark, the expressions of the civil and military officials slightly changed. Some were pleasantly surprised, others fearful.

This was the first time the human kingdom openly responded to the evil fruits inflicted upon humanity by God.

Civilians may not know, but the nobles of the kingdom all know about the Divine Will Battle and the Divine Artifacts, all creations of ’God’!

But even though many in the kingdom know, they cannot declare it openly, only resisting in the shadows.

Yet, the pope’s face calmed down: "I see, it seems that the apostle of the Foreign God has promised you certain blessings, causing some deviation in your faith towards our Lord. I have already ordered the protective army to eradicate the heretics. And if necessary, our Lord will personally act. And you... do you plan to obstruct it?"

With that, the pope looked interestingly at the various officials.

The church does not wish to break ties with the kingdom yet, so it plans to use the apostle of the Foreign God as a scapegoat.

If humans really intend to resist, then there is no need to hold back.

And the expressions of the civil and military officials were uncertain; if the church really deployed the corps to attack the apostle of the Foreign God, then His Excellency Li Ba would be in danger.

Should they send troops to resist?

With the technological support from the Main Brain, the human kingdom’s army has a great chance of winning.

But is it time now to have an outright fallout with the church? Could it provoke the Demon to intervene directly?

Can His Excellency Li Ba really stand against the Demon?

"That is your choice, it has nothing to do with the kingdom. Please proceed as the church sees fit," said Tian Ming after taking a sip of water, nodding slightly, signaling the pope to step down.

Li Changhe had told him not to directly confront the Demon unless absolutely necessary.

And Tian Ming’s indifferent attitude stunned the pope.

"Of course, you’ll be satisfied, I’ll explain it myself," Tian Ming chuckled lightly.

If it were before, he might have had to swallow his anger.

Now, he has nothing to worry about.

Arrogant? Indeed it is arrogance!

But the arrogant one is the Pope.

Of course, it’s no wonder. He’s a fellow who flatters the Demons and betrays his own people for profit.

He has not seen the figure surrounded by azure flames on the Sea of Black Mud.

Nor does he know how terrifying that being is!

Soon, Tian Ming received news that more than fifty thousand of the Church’s military corps had moved through the fortress into the Demon Domain.

The Church has the finest craftsmen, the richest iron ore resources, and the most devout Believers.

Their corps are no less elite than the previous royal armies. Even stronger!

However, this powerful elite corps has never participated in the Divine Will Battle.

Now, they are entering the Demon Domain to kill the so-called heretics.

It really is ironic.

"Lord Li Ba, it’s up to you next," Tian Ming thought.

...

Meanwhile, Li Changhe had already entered the Demon Domain with the elite human kingdom corps.

Perhaps because it had just opened, they hadn’t encountered any Evil Spirits along the way.

In the planned strategy, King Tian Ming stayed back, while the other human powerhouses and elite corps entered the Demon Domain with Li Changhe.

If the Church reacts violently, they would clear out those fellows here.

At the same time, they might get some potentially useful intelligence from the Church.

The moment Li Changhe entered the Demon Domain, he also finally received a task trigger from [Evolution Game].

[Trigger Real World Task—Divine Will Battle]

[Accept/Reject]

[Failure Penalty: Divinity efficiency reduced to 30% of the original]

[Note: You are actively involved in a war planned by Divinity, which seems to also hide bigger secrets]

Indeed, it’s a real world task, not an instance or narrative task.

Because, for Li Changhe, this world is the Real World.

As for the failure penalty, it’s as good as none for Li Changhe.

Even 30% recovery speed of Black Mud is something most divine creatures cannot compare with.

"It really is a case of no care after the kill," Li Changhe complained about the ruthlessness of [Evolution Game]: "Didn’t they send me back to the main world and just left it at that?"

Li Changhe had hoped that [Evolution Game] would take some responsibility and show him the way back, but it seems he was wishing for too much.

Then, Li Changhe looked towards the foothill, he had already noticed a large number of troops approaching, among them a few with the bizarre and twisted aura of Demons.

It seems the Church has caught up. After discovering something amiss, they are preparing to make a desperate move.

Just right, the Church should hold a lot of information about hell, might as well start from here.

"Main Brain, how many people are there?" Li Changhe asked, holding the Mo Blade.

"General, merely fifty-seven thousand six hundred and seventy-one," the Biluo Main Brain respectfully replied: "Among them, three individuals have become twisted, they have what we want in their heads."

"What about us?"

"Excluding scouts and the vanguard, we have well over fifteen hundred people!" the Main Brain responded.

"Very good!" Li Changhe nodded, "It seems the advantage is mine."
