"Dang … Dang … Dang …"
The bell rang again, echoing in everyone's ears.
The Ritual of Holy Judgement was over.
In a way that no one had expected.
The scene in front of them began to disappear. Soon, the original half-plane quickly dissipated, and everyone returned to Golden Bay. Their faces were pale, but there was a hint of reverence in their eyes as they looked at Hecate.
Before, these people only saw Hecate as an innocent little girl, but now, they no longer saw it that way. However, Hecate remained silent and did not react at all. All it did was stand quietly beside Fangzheng. However, everyone's gazes and expressions when looking at Hecate were completely different from before.
The Seat of Zenith.
Before, no one took this title seriously, but from now on, this title would resound throughout the entire continent. Because this would be the second appearance of … an Extraordinary in this continent after hundreds of years! An expert who had almost disappeared from this mortal world, an expert who originally only existed in myths and legends!
Among this group of people, Bishop Karl and Great Knight Yast were the fastest to accept this. After all, they had long believed that Fangzheng was the messenger of God, so the Witch's power could naturally be seen as the mighty power of God. This was normal. Everyone, sit down. This was just a basic operation, so don't be surprised. The power of the gods was unstoppable, so it was reasonable for them to have such power.
But some people could not accept it at all.
"Master Kara!!"
Lieutenant General John knelt on the ground. His eyes were wide open as he stared at the ground in front of him. He could not believe what had just happened in front of him. Master Kara was killed so easily? The guardian of the Country of Fire, the great Dragon Slayer, died just like that?
No! This is impossible!!
Lieutenant General Hardedef had also grown up listening to the rumors of Kara. In his opinion, this dragon slayer was an indomitable god. He was even more powerful than the so-called Goddess of Order that the Country of Saints promoted! After all, the Goddess of Order was just a fictional character in the scriptures. But Kara was a living God of the Country of Fire! A real myth!
But now, this myth was broken in front of him.
In the cruelest way possible.
If Master Kara had been defeated after a fierce battle, Lieutenant General John would not have lost his composure. After all, although Master Kara had one foot in the Transcendent realm, he was still a human. But … that girl didn't even move, and she killed him in an instant!
Was this the power of a true Extraordinaire?
Stupid.
Fangzheng was expressionless as he watched Lieutenant General John lose his composure, but he wanted to laugh on the inside. In truth, only Fangzheng knew Hecate's true strength. One must know that when he got his hands on Hecate, it was a Gold grade soul stone.
What did Gold rank represent?
A Fantasy Grade Soul Stone was a true God, while a Silver Grade Soul Stone was a God's Servant. In that case, the strength of a Gold Grade Soul Stone was on the verge of being revealed.
Demigod.
This was the true power of Hecate. How could a Grand Shaman who served the highest Creation God, the Snake of Sacrifice, be just a Transcendent?
Otherwise, did they really think that he was called the "Top Seat" for nothing?
Of course, no one knew about this except for Fangzheng. This was the result of a huge difference in strength. They did not understand why Hecate only needed one move to instantly kill Kara. The reason was that Hecate, as a Grand Shaman, could directly mobilize divine power. However, this Grand Imperial Shaman rarely did so. It was just like how if you could use a finger to crush an ant, you naturally wouldn't shoot it out of boredom.
Of course, it might be very difficult for ordinary people to obtain a gun (divine power), but for those who already had a gun (divine power), they only needed to pull it out, open the safety, and pull the trigger. That was as simple as that.
Well, if Fangzheng were to describe the battle just now in a movie scene that he was familiar with, it would be like a swordsman roaring angrily, raising his long sword, and using the move 'Rain of Flowers', it was like a dream. Rays of sword light covered his whole body, allowing him to attack and defend at will. The biting cold sword energy whistled out, causing the onlookers to gasp in shock.
Then, Hecate silently pulled out a pistol, pointed it at the swordsman who was happily dancing with his sword, and pulled the trigger.
This was the difference between them.
"You, you killed Master Kara!!"
At that moment, Lieutenant General John finally lost control. He stood up and stared at Fangzheng with bloodshot eyes as he roared.
"You will pay for your actions!! We, the Brahril, will never let you go!! Prepare yourselves for the wrath of the Brahril! "
"What?!"
Hearing Lieutenant General John's blatant threat, everyone was taken aback. They did not expect things to develop in this direction. Had Farrier lost his mind? Declaring war here against an unknown force that they had yet to figure out? Then, what would Fangzheng do? Would he have any scruples because of this?
"Oh."
But in the face of Lieutenant General John's angry words, Fangzheng just folded his arms and responded indifferently.
"So?"
"So …? You …! "
Lieutenant General John did not finish his sentence because at that moment, a huge shadow loomed over his head. Not far behind Fangzheng, a Paladin-class raider was slowly descending. Its huge cannons were rotating and aimed at Fangzheng's direction.
"…"
Seeing this huge metal warship, Lieutenant General John, who was initially overwhelmed by anger, finally calmed down.
Just as Fangzheng said, he killed Kara. So what? The Brahril wanted revenge? Very well. So what?
That's right, so what? What can you do to me?
"Ugh …"
This was the first time Lieutenant General John experienced the feeling of being inferior to others. In the past, the Kingdom of Fire had always appeared in front of other countries with a strong image. They had an invincible and huge fleet, so they did not need to care about what the smaller countries said. They didn't even care about the Country of Saint and the Country of Magi. In the past, they held their heads high, went wherever they wanted, and entered whichever sea they wanted. Even if the other party sent a diplomatic representative to protest, they could just dismissively say, "So?"
But now, the tables had turned. It was finally their turn to have a taste of this feeling.
"… Master Kara is a legendary figure in our Kingdom of Fire. Don't you think you've gone too far?! You're making an enemy out of the Kingdom of Fire! You're destroying the order and peace of this world! Even if you threaten us with force, we will never bow our heads because of this! We believe that the truth will always be on our side! "
"Interesting."
Fangzheng smiled when he heard Lieutenant General John's words.
"But I don't think the same as you. I've always believed that the truth is within the range of cannons … I wonder if you'd like to test the limits of my truth?"
"…"
Faced with Fangzheng's shameless face, Lieutenant General John was completely speechless.
How could this be? Isn't he a Paladin of the Temple? According to Lieutenant General John's understanding of the Kingdom of Saints, they should be very concerned about their reputation and reason. Why would they have someone who said, "I'm strong, I'm great, you're not convinced?"
"Alright, the Rite of Holy Judgment is over, and I've won. Now … it's your turn to fulfill my request …"
As he spoke, Fangzheng snapped his fingers. Following that, Nimfu immediately went forward and handed two scrolls to the two of them. It was obvious that she had prepared this beforehand.
"Don't worry, I won't make you bark like a dog, and I won't make your ruler strip naked in women's clothes …"
Lieutenant General John's face turned ashen, while the fat representative next to him showed a disappointed expression. For the people of the Kingdom of Riches, they couldn't wait to strip naked. So what if they lost their face? Could something like face be sold for money? But if the other party really demanded an exorbitant price … My heart hurts!
You can take my wife and daughter, kill my whole family, but please don't take my money!!
"I only need a little compensation … Hmm, I think this shouldn't be a problem for you."
"…"
Lieutenant General John and the fat representative picked up the scrolls and opened them after listening to Fangzheng's words. Then, their faces turned pale.
"This is robbery!!!"
Lieutenant General John roared, the veins on his forehead bulging. The fat representative's reaction was even simpler. He groaned, clutched his chest, and fell to the ground, never to get up again!
At the same time, the agreement between the two parties was displayed in front of the others. Everyone was shocked when they saw the contents. The requirement was an astronomical number of high-quality crystals, as well as an equally astronomical number of various alchemy materials! It even included a lot of military alchemy materials that belonged to the "national military supplies"! The total amount of these materials was enough to arm the entire army of a medium-sized country!
Just as Lieutenant General John had said, this was robbery!
"This is just a small request, or …"
At this point, Fangzheng snorted coldly.
"Do you want to go back on your word?"
"I …"
Frankly speaking, Lieutenant General John really wanted to go back on his word, but when he saw the steel warship silently descending again behind Fangzheng … he swallowed his next words.
