Abel went to check on the growth of his world stone heart as soon as he heard that the Wizard Union president was going to return to the Central Continent. Unfortunately, it was still a bit far from being fully mature.
The world stone heart wouldn't be able to do much for him in a short period of time. Although he already had twenty-four godly summons, that would be twenty-five if he included Doff the God of War's second body.
Still, he didn't relax. The legendary president of the Wizard Union was just too powerful.
There was a comparison between the president of the Wizard Union and the dragon god. Abel didn't know how powerful the dragon god was, but he did see the small world of the dragon island.
That space was created by the dragon god. If that was the real world of the dragon god, it would be able to crush all the godly rank creatures he had seen so far.
The president of the Wizard Union was on the same level as the dragon god. This was why the Wizard Union and the dragon race were the two most powerful organizations in the world.
Trying to fight the president of the Wizard Union with just a few godly creatures wasn't going to work. Not to mention, there were already nineteen godly wizards in the Wizard Union right now. His godly creatures couldn't really suppress the number of godly creatures he had.
It seemed like he would have to rely on the Dark World. If he could wipe out the Throne of Destruction and kill the last demon, his power would increase by leaps and bounds.
There was also the upgrade that the complete World Stone could bring and the secret behind the World Stone.
With that in mind, he didn't think about anything else. Instead, he returned to the training room in the golden castle and returned to the Dark World through the teleportation door.
No one knew what he had been through in the past year. Every time he fought in the Dark World, he would go on for more than 10 days without any rest.
If the godly wizards of the Wizard Union didn't send a request to the golden castle, he wouldn't have returned at all. He would've just stayed in the Dark World.
Now that he heard about the president of the Wizard Union, he was even more nervous.
Another year had passed, and the guardian wings that usually stayed still in the sky above the Nation of God began to flap continuously. Every time it flapped, it would consume the power of faith in its body.
Outside the central temple of the Nation of God, the Saint and the godly Knight were all looking at the sky. The power of faith just caught their attention.
"My lord's will is recovering. My lord will lead us to defeat the enemy and bring the Nation of God back!" The Saint yelled with his face flushed.
"Sir Saint, do you need us to do anything?" The godly Knight McCreedy asked in excitement.
There wasn't much they could do to help the god awaken, but they didn't want to just stand there and watch.
The blush on the Saint's face subsided a little, "Judging from the amount of faith the guardian wings consumed, my lord must be using it to recover his will. But I don't know if we have enough faith, so I need the entire Nation of God to stop all production and life and pray to my lord with all we have. We need to provide the faith that my lord needs!"
If the divinity crystal wasn't stolen, he could use it to replenish the faith power he consumed.
But right now, the Nation of God was mobilized and praying crazily.
"Sir Saint, don't worry. I'll make sure every city and town has a Knight watching over the prayers of the believers!" The godly Knight McCreedy replied.
The other godly Knight began to fly in all directions. For the sake of the demon from beyond's awakening, none of them were going to slack off. Instead, they were going all out.
In the Nation of God, everyone was forced to stop whatever they were doing. They all went to the temple and began to pray to their god.
Of course, more than a fifth of the power of faith generated by the people flew to the basement of the golden castle and gathered in a statue in the basement.
Even with the loss of one-fifth of the faith power, the faith machine of the Nation of God was running at full power. The faith power of the guardian wings was still increasing.
The guardian wings never stopped flapping, and the people of the Nation of God continued to pray.
After two days, the Nation of God could no longer withstand the consumption of prayer.
In these two days, the young and old believers could no longer withstand the constant prayer. They were getting sick and even dying.
In these two days, other than the most devout believers, the rest of the believers' faith level dropped a little. This was the result of calling the entire nation to pray.
"Sir Saint, the believers can't hold on any longer!" The godly Knight McCreedy returned to the central temple and said to the Saint.
"The believers are just the lambs of the gods. This is the time when the gods need them. Even if they can't hold on, they have to hold on!" The Saint replied in a deep voice.
He could already feel some of the divine thoughts from the demon from beyond. This was the critical moment when the demon from beyond was recovering its will. He didn't care about the lives of the believers.
"Yes, sir!" The godly Knight McCreedy bowed.
When it came to dealing with the power of faith and dealing with the awakening of the demon from beyond, even if the godly Knight didn't like the Saint, they would still respect the Saint's decision.
The third day passed, and the believers of the Nation of God continued to fall.
On the fourth day, more and more believers fell unconscious, and there were many cases of death.
A few days ago, the godly Knight on the side gave the believers some water and some simple food, but after four days, there was no more water and food.
It wasn't that the Nation of God ran out of food, but the power of faith needed for the awakening of the demon from beyond began to overdraft the energy shield of the guardian wings.
If the believers stopped praying at this time, the energy shield would collapse.
On the fifth day, the sixth day, the seventh day … By the seventh day, more and more believers died. It was no longer as simple as falling unconscious.
From the seventh day onwards, all the believers were relying on the faith in their hearts to hold on. As long as they fell, it would be difficult for them to wake up again.
Fortunately, on the seventh day, the guardian wings stopped flapping, and the power of faith was no longer consumed.
As the godly Knight announced the end of the prayer, many believers who had used up too much energy died on the spot.
In these seven days, the Nation of God had lost almost 4 million believers. The entire Nation of God was filled with dead believers.
However, in the Nation of God, the Saint and the godly Knight were filled with joy.
The demon from beyond had not fully awakened, but its will had recovered. It had been asleep for thousands of years, so its body and soul needed some time to recover.
Abel, who was fighting in the Dark World's Throne of Destruction, suddenly felt a ripple from the crystal angel statue.
He hurriedly led the combat team out of the battlefield, completely ignoring the hellish creatures that had been fighting for days and were about to be killed.
Ever since he obtained the silhouette of the crystal angel statue, it would only emit a faint ripple when it sensed the believers. As long as he did not actively sense the ripple, it would not send him a warning ripple like today.
Of course, he knew that something big had happened. That was why he didn't even care about fighting and retreated from the battlefield.
This was not the Central Continent, so he couldn't sense the Nation of God's believers through the crystal angel statue.
He used the town portal scroll to return to the Rogge camp and returned to the golden castle.
As soon as he appeared in the training room, he sensed the crystal angel statue's situation.
He could not help but be shocked by what he sensed because not only did the number of his believers not increase, but it had decreased by hundreds of thousands instead.
A few hundred thousand wasn't a lot to the Nation of God's believers that had grown to over 100 million a while ago, but it had always been increasing.
Since he had killed so many preachers, he would get a few preachers every once in a while, and the Nation of God would produce a few preachers. These preachers were constantly in charge of new preachers, and the number of believers was constantly increasing.
"What's going on?" Abel thought to himself. His power of the Will was already checking the crystal angel statue's shadow.
Next, he saw a record of seven days of continuous prayer. Many of the believers were extremely weak at this time. Seven days of continuous prayer was better for those who were strong. There was food and water for the first four days of the seven days, but the biggest drain was the spiritual exhaustion from continuous prayer.
However, for those who were weak, seven days of continuous prayer was a serious drain on their life force.
Abel didn't have time to sympathize with the believers. He was wondering why the Nation of God was praying for seven days straight.
"Master, there's an urgent message from the dragons and dwarves!" The circle spirit noticed that Abel had come out, so it reported.
"Send it to me!" Abel commanded.
Soon, a few sets of messages were sent over. His face was getting more and more serious.
The message from the dragons and dwarves was the same. The guardian wings of the Nation of God had been flapping non-stop for seven days, and it was consuming the power of faith like crazy.
According to the news from the Wizard Union, the demon from beyond was in the process of awakening, and it wasn't too long before it woke up.
"What? The demon from beyond is about to wake up?" Abel was shocked.
He always thought that the demon from beyond would take a long time to wake up. According to the Wizard Union's estimation, it would take at least a few decades. He didn't expect the demon from beyond to wake up so soon.
He immediately thought of his believers in the Nation of God. Although they were full of lies, they were still believers. Once they believed in him, they were his wealth.
There were more than 100 million of them. If he didn't do something about it, they would all be killed by the demon from beyond.
No god would tolerate the betrayal of their believers. Those who betrayed their faith would be killed. It was an iron law.
If they didn't even pursue the betrayer, then the followers of this god would be completely unrestrained.
Just like in the era of the gods, many of the wars between the gods were caused by believers.
To be honest, Abel didn't really care about those 100 million believers, but he didn't want them to be killed because of him.
"Maybe I can make a big one before the Demon from Beyond fully awakens!"
Abel's eyes were full of determination. It had been many years since he came to this world from his original world.
During this period of time, many people had died by his hands, but he could guarantee that every life he killed had a reason to seek death. The enemies he killed all had a clear conscience.
Because of the influence of his original world, he couldn't just watch those 100 million creatures get killed. They had already broken away from the demon from beyond's faith.
According to his original plan, when he became a god, he would transfer all of his believers out of the Nation of God before the demon from beyond woke up.
This plan had always been in his mind, but he didn't do it because the time wasn't right.
Since he was going to do something big, he might as well do it before the demon from beyond woke up. After all, the Wizard Union had no way of knowing what was going on in the Nation of God.
Abel began to summon all of his god-rank fighting forces. He had a scary amount of them now.
What Abel didn't know was that the reason the demon from beyond woke up early had a lot to do with him.
In the beginning, he had forcefully erased the owner of the Divine Portal Bag and made it recognize a new owner. At that time, he had already awakened the sleeping Demon from Beyond.
From then on, the demon from beyond would wake up sooner than expected. If Abel didn't do anything else, it would only happen a few years earlier.
However, what did Abel do after that? In the Lance Continent, he took the holy armor of the demon from beyond, erased its ownership, and reclaimed it.
After that, he stole the holy angelic sword and shield from the central temple of the Nation of God. He even took away the angel wings that had recovered. Those holy items that were closely related to the demon from beyond had their ownership forcefully erased, and the angel wings were fused with Abel's angelic body.
Even though the demon from beyond was still sleeping, it was still being stimulated time and time again. It was waking up earlier and earlier than usual.
Also, Abel stole the statue of the demon from beyond twice in a row.
The statue was the representation of a god, and it contained a sliver of the power of the will. It was the face of a god. What Abel did was like a slap to the face of the demon from beyond.
How could the demon from beyond not wake up early?
