Chapter 1608: Chapter 1147: Provoking

At this moment, all churches of the ocean goddess in the Heavy Blue World were under attack by an ancient sea god.

Furious thunderbolts appeared out of nowhere, mercilessly raining down on the praying believers and priests within the church.

In just an instant, over a thousand divine personnel, and even more believers, met their untimely demise.

They hadn’t done anything wrong.

Yet now, they had everything taken from them by what was called divine punishment.

A young pastor who prayed daily to the goddess and was confidently planning to leave the church.

He was to carry out the goddess’s task for him, to evacuate more island residents.

If possible, he wished for his pregnant wife to receive the goddess’s blessing.

Even more so, he hoped the goddess would name his soon-to-be-born child. That would be a great honor.

But the next second, his smiling face would forever be frozen.

A tall knight of the church was secretly watching a female priest praying in the distance outside the church.

Urged by his colleagues, he picked up some flowers. Stiff yet resolute, he approached the female priest, hoping to start a rosy romance.

Having heard that the goddess had descended to the mortal realm, if possible, he wished for their wedding to be blessed by the goddess. He had already thought of a name for their child.

But after a flash of lightning, he would never know the girl’s feelings.

A mother and daughter were praying before a statue, hoping for the goddess’s divine protection for their husband and father at sea, to safely return.

And the voracious daughter even hoped her father would bring back exotic delicacies from overseas.

The mother, indulgent yet helpless, pinched her daughter’s cheek, and the next second, she suddenly held her daughter tight.

...

That instant, thunderclouds appeared abruptly in the sky and then... they all died.

The young priest was instantly turned into a charred human figure, the smile yet to fade from his face.

The tall knight was flung away by immense force, seeing his beloved girl turn to flying ash.

The indulgent mother held her daughter tightly, trying to use her own body to shield her from the terrible disaster.

Yet, she saw her daughter in her arms turn into a charred corpse together with herself.

’Oh goddess...’ the mother wanted to wail, but not a sound came out.

Regardless of their status, whether they were someone’s father, mother, son, daughter, or lover...

The brutal thunder took their lives without mercy.

Even though their goddess had cast a divine barrier to give them the greatest protection, not everyone was saved.

When the first thunderbolt dissipated, survivors only saw a hellish scene on earth. Ignoring the danger, they rushed crazily into the shattered church, watching their relatives and friends let out agonized wails.

Horrible cries and desperate screams pierced into Xiao Nan’s brain like blades.

The loss of lives among the believers and the resulting negative emotions were, under the influence of some power, pouring unreservedly towards the goddess who should have protected them.

"Great Goddess, save me!"

"Goddess, I don’t want to die!"

"Ocean Goddess!"

"Why don’t you protect me!"

"Ocean Goddess, do you even deserve to be called a sea god? Who can you protect? Mere humans, dare to covet my divine position?"

The terrifying voice echoed in the void. This was the first attack launched by the divinity of Atlantis against the humans who worshipped her today.

The Ancient Sea God sought to destroy the entire Church of the Ocean Goddess and reclaim his divine throne!

His bizarre sudden attack went unnoticed by everyone.

Even the players who were attacked only felt a sense of danger just before the attack commenced.

Even someone as powerful as Li Changhe only had a premonition that something was wrong. Such is the might of a race deeply versed in mysticism!

Now, the faith originating from the believers has transformed into a terrifying offensive, striking at the goddess whom the believers worship.

The impact caused Xiao Nan, within the shattered church, to bleed from her ears and nose, her face pale as she spat out a mouthful of blood, staining her clothing red.

She struggled to stabilize her form, her long hair turning white instantly as the demonic sword appeared in her hand. She counterattacked against the sudden assault of the Ancient Sea God.

All of the undamaged statues of the Ocean Goddess within the church seemed to be given life, stepping off their pedestals into the mortal world. They charged towards the frightful thunderclouds above every church, ordering all the surviving believers.

"Take all the survivors and leave! Get away from the church!" She struggled to support her body, yet the words she spoke were terrifyingly calm. Suddenly faced with the attack, she quickly and efficiently regained her composure.

In front of Xiao Nan’s true self, the furious thunder was blocked. Old Lead collided with the thunder, forcibly cutting off the attack that had turned into plasma and closing his gaping mouth to swallow the fearsome plasma. Yet, he was still injured, and lightning continued to seep from his cracks.

"Boss!" Old Lead shouted.

"DestinyLine Pursuit!" Li Changhe roared as he supported the girl.

The next instant, Old Lead followed the causal path of the lightning, directly striking the Ancient Sea God whose location was unknown.

An angry roar echoed from the void: "A causal attack?"

The Ancient Sea God was both surprised and angry, as this had been a probing attack that should have been foolproof. It was intended to assess the current strength of humans and to punish the Church of the Ocean Goddess.

As a peculiar remnant of the Aquatic Civilization, they had inherited a great deal of mystical research.

With the level of human mysticism, even if there were true gods among humans, they would not be able to counterattack and find their target.

Unexpectedly, humans used the same ability to strike back directly at the Ancient Sea God hiding in the shadows.

And because of the assault by the God Sin, the position of the Ancient Sea God was revealed. And he... was on an island near a harbor city.

One thousand kilometers away from Li Changhe.

Seemingly a Demigod? No, a True God? The peculiar fluctuations made it difficult for human champions to discern his strength. His level seemed to hover between a true god and a demigod.

But that was no longer important.

What mattered was...

"Found you!" Li Changhe laughed with rage. He raised his hand, and an arrow pierced through the void.

Then, supporting the girl, they sat on the Bronze Throne, and asked Yun Ting to materialize and protect the surroundings.

"Do not let him escape," Xiao Nan said softly.

Li Changhe nodded.

At the same time, human champions also began to react, with various human demigods moving out instantly.

Below the Ancient Sea God, in the port city, Great Wall players were raising the Black Great Wall, attempting to blockade and protect the city.

And Wuji, the closest to the scene, shot straight into the sky; for a Human Emperor who had ascended to demigod status, this distance was merely a few steps away.

"Sea God, come back," a voice from Atlantis said. "Human demigods are surrounding you!"

"Retreat? What retreat?" The Ancient Sea God sneered sardonically. "Mere humans, even if they have become players, pose no threat to us. Once slaves, even if they have gained strength, they remain slaves! We only need to be cautious of Chaos and other champion remnants!"

"Laugh to the demon, then why do you think we don’t enter this world?" A deity from the Chaos Legion snickerered coldly. "Dare to provoke the Evil God even when seeking help?"

"Evil God?" The Ancient Sea God frowned. He was unclear what this meant; he hadn’t attacked Chaos, so why would he provoke the Evil God?

However, the next second, he understood what the Chaos deity meant by the Evil God...

Because, as the arrow in the void pierced through, a figure emerged before his eyes.
