Ma Wen had never been good at naming things.
He hesitated for a moment and decided to put the problem aside for now. He would think about it when he had inspiration.
His top priority was to find the Secret Shadow Diamond hidden in the Shadow Temple.
Ma Wen remembered that it was hidden in the secret chamber behind the statue in the prayer hall.
However, the prayer hall had collapsed, and it would take him a lot of effort to find it in the ruins.
He searched all the way with the Hellhound in his arms. Relying on his memory, he quickly cleared a path.
"This place is where the statue used to be."
"I remember there was a side hall next to it, right?"
Ma Wen carefully recalled the scenes in his previous life.
However, right at this moment, the soft cry of a baby suddenly rang out beside his ear!
Ma Wen was shocked!
His instinct for danger made him quickly enter a combat state!
However, he looked around and found nothing unusual.
"Where did the baby come from?"
"What was that feeling just now?"
In his previous life, Ma Wen didn't destroy the Shadow Temple. He only stole the Secret Shadow Diamond, which infuriated the Shadow Prince.
That was how the grudge between them was formed. The grudge didn't end until the later stages of the game, when Ma Wen personally killed a god and became a god as the Lord of the Night, taking over Glenos' priesthood.
Speaking of which, Marvin couldn't be considered to have truly defeated Glenos.
After all, he had died more times in the course of the battle between the two sides.
However, the players were unnatural creatures in the first place. They were Golden Sons and could be resurrected continuously. This was a treatment that even the gods could not enjoy!
…
The baby's cry was getting louder and louder.
The cloud in the sky had been tracking Ma Wen's traces. Everybody looked at Ma Wen's strange behavior in confusion.
He had already destroyed the statue and seemed to be looking for something?
What was this guy trying to do?
Nobody could figure out Ma Wen's intentions.
Because the cloud in the sky could only refract images and not transmit sound, they couldn't hear the baby's cry.
In the ruins of the prayer hall, Ma Wen's face became more and more awful.
Something was wrong!
This was not one baby crying, but many babies crying at the same time.
How could there be so many babies in this Shadow Shrine?
He was puzzled.
His footsteps were as agile as a fox's, and he quickly approached a wall in the side hall.
He frowned, knocked on the wall lightly, and then activated the Listen skill.
"It's hollow … There's a secret chamber inside!"
Ma Wen came to a sudden realization.
Between the prayer hall and the side hall, there was actually a decent-sized secret room.
For some reason, Ma Wen could hear the cries of many babies in the secret room.
The sound made his hair stand on end.
"It can't be …"
A haze suddenly flashed across his heart!
He thought of a possibility.
At this moment, a mysterious force suddenly descended upon them.
That was an incomparably vast divine power!
Ma Wen could not help but lower his head and curse. He hurriedly hugged the Hell Hound and quickly retreated!
In the next second, the rest of the prayer hall also began to collapse!
That included the wall.
With a rumbling sound of collapse, Ma Wen relied on Divine Dexterity to narrowly dodge the falling rocks.
Dust rose wildly, choking him and forcing him to leave the area.
However, when he turned around, he saw this scene:
Hundreds of babies quietly hovered in the air.
Light gray divine power enveloped their bodies, and they howled crazily, as if they had foreseen something.
These babies were not harmed in the collapse of the building just now.
That was because they were protected by a barrier.
"Divine barrier."
Ma Wen's expression was solemn.
Although the secret room was broken and he saw what was inside, it also gave Ma Wen a strong sense of crisis!
"Glenos!"
He gritted his teeth and muttered this name.
In the next second, a baby's cry suddenly became even louder.
Under Ma Wen's pained and helpless gaze, this baby suddenly exploded into a blur of blood!
"Arrival failed!"
…
On the streets of the royal capital. This horrifying and bloody scene shocked everyone!
Including the Temple Knights who were originally devout believers!
"Oh my god, what's going on?"
"That's my child!"
"My child!"
A woman cried out in pain on the street. She fell to the ground and turned into a mess of tears.
Sadness and resentment began to spread in the royal capital.
"Save our child!"
Such voices rose and fell on the streets of the royal capital.
…
In the palace. Everyone's expression was solemn.
Even the most cold-hearted person's eyes were filled with anger and astonishment at the scene!
How could this be?
If ordinary people didn't know about it, then most of the people here knew about the origin of these babies!
They were babies that the Temple of God had collected from all over the country in the past few months in the name of cultivating Saintesses and Saints.
Some of the children of nobles had been taken away by the Temple of God not long after they were born.
At that time, although the parents were still heartbroken, at least they were comforted.
When their children grew up in the future, they might become Saints and Saintesses who spread the glory of God!
Just like the High Priest.
However, the cruel reality in front of them shattered all their fantasies.
In the pale yellow barrier of divine power, the poor babies exploded one by one, turning into balls of blood!
A few seconds ago, they were still alive.
They deserved a better future.
These babies should have been lying quietly in their cradles, listening to their mother's lullaby.
But now, all the wonderful things that could have appeared in their lives were strangled!
The babies exploded one by one.
The speed was faster and faster!
Ma Wen stood next to the divine barrier, gritting his teeth in hatred!
It was indeed Arrival.
That son of a bitch, Glenos!
It was obvious that the other party was coming for him. The Shadow Prince's power in this plane was gone, so he must have sent a powerful subordinate to come to this world through a special method like [Arrival].
No matter who it was, the other party was here to destroy him and this plane!
The Shadow Prince must have lost his patience. He was most likely ready to wipe out all the humans in this world and then cultivate new believers!
This was his last desperate attempt.
However, Ma Wen could only watch it happen. He couldn't do anything.
The divine barrier was so powerful that Ma Wen couldn't break it at all!
"If only … there was one more Dragon Tooth!"
He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
If there was one more Dragon Tooth, he could break the divine barrier and save these innocent children.
However, the reality was cruel.
Ma Wen had no way to break the divine barrier.
He could only pray that the next baby's body was more compatible with the guy who was about to arrive and wouldn't explode!
…
On the streets of the capital, there was already a lot of crying. Even those who weren't crying looked sad.
This was the Temple.
This was the God they worshipped day and night.
The Temple Knights silently took off their armors!
From this moment on, they no longer had faith.
The divine power in their bodies began to burn. They looked painful, but no one had a look of regret.
This was the punishment for devout believers who betrayed God!
Some knights couldn't make it and were directly burned to death by the divine fire.
Most of those who could make it would more or less suffer from hidden diseases in the future and be unable to engage in high-intensity work — not to mention fighting!
This was the price of freedom.
Nono watched all this with tears in her eyes. She bit her lip and finally turned slowly to look at the nobles.
"Everyone, are you willing to completely end the Temple's rule in Nottingham with me now?"
Swish swish swish!
All the nobles knelt on one knee in unison.
The Shadow Temple's actions had provoked the wrath of the heavens and the resentment of the people.
No one would want to see their children die in such a way.
If Ma Wen's previous three cannons only shattered people's awe of God, then these babies who died tragically reminded them of the cruelty of the Temple!
The Temple was like a group of shackles, wrapping them tighter and tighter day and night.
They were almost suffocated, but dared not resist.
Today, they finally made their decision.
Freedom.
Human beings living in this world should not be controlled or ruled by anything.
"Then come with me."
Nono wiped away her tears, her eyes firm. "My brother has gone to the north to welcome the remaining children of the three northern lords."
"But there are still many remaining forces in the Temple. We must eradicate them completely. "
A nobleman pointed to the picture in the sky and said, "Then … these children …"
Nono gritted her teeth. "No matter what happens next in the Temple, let Lord Ma Wen solve it."
"This is beyond the scope of our ability."
"I believe that no matter what kind of difficulties he encounters next, he can overcome them."
"Because he once promised me."
…
Outside the Divine Barrier, Ma Wen looked silent. The hellhound had already found a place to hide under his orders.
There was bound to be a big battle next.
He was quite confident that he could win.
After all, although his current body was very weak, he still had a lot of trump cards.
It was just that these babies were too pitiful.
But in order to prevent a sudden attack, he must always pay attention to the development inside the Divine Barrier!
This made him hate them to the core.
"Damn it, in a while, no matter what kind of birdman it is, I will tear them apart!"
He closely watched the development of the situation.
After nearly half of the babies were sacrificed, a baby girl suddenly floated into the air.
Her face was delicate and very cute, and there were only a few golden hairs on her head.
She blinked her eyes.
In the next second, a cold voice rang out in the hearts of everyone in this world!
"Hehe, this body is not bad."
Accompanied by this voice, the baby girl's body suddenly began to expand rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, she turned from a seven or eight-month-old baby girl to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old nude girl.
On her back, a pair of golden wings suddenly spread out!
Ma Wen took a deep breath. "Throne Angel!"
…
On the streets of the capital, a middle-aged couple hugged each other tightly, tears streaming down their faces.
"Is this what Angela looks like after she grows up?"
The woman looked at the Throne Angel in the sky in a daze, sobbing uncontrollably.
