The captain of the War Shrine wasn't surprised at all when he saw Bloody Mary and the people of the Mist start to pray.
When war was inevitable, it was natural to use the most direct means to destroy the enemy.
For the churches that had a God in their ranks, nothing was more direct than having a God make a move himself!
'Victory!
We will win! '
Recalling the achievements of the God he believed in, the captain's heart swiftly calmed down.
The reason why the God of War was known as the God of War, other than the divine position he acquired later, was because he was a battle-hungry person and was able to defeat his enemies, thus earning the title.
According to the records in the War Shrine, the God of War once fought the 12 giants that ravaged the land. After killing them, he used their bones to build his throne.
Then, he went to the sea to kill six sea monsters and decorated their tentacles around the throne.
In the end, he hunted down three giant eagles in the sky and used their feathers and claws to build a kingdom, becoming the God of War himself.
All these were the legends of the God of War.
Whether it was real or not, it was hard to verify.
However, one thing was for sure.
The God of War was good at war.
He was also very powerful.
Before Lady Calamity appeared, he was the only religion in the Northern Land.
Therefore, the captain had reason to believe.
They would win.
The Mist Church would definitely be defeated and destroyed!
After all, the Mist was just a small church that had just risen up.
The only thing they could prove was the battle against the pagans in Sicar.
That kind of battle was nothing in the God of War's eyes.
Some of the High Priests could even easily kill those pagans who had just 'descended'.
In fact, it wasn't just the captain who thought so.
The others shared the same thought.
The strength of the God of War was deeply rooted in their hearts.
Even with Lady Calamity's appearance, she couldn't truly change the situation. At most, she was able to stand on equal footing with the God of War.
What a pity for the bishop!
The others looked at Bloody Mary, their eyes glimmering with pity.
The old marquis, who was watching the scene, couldn't help but smile.
This was what he wanted to see.
Regardless of whether the God of War was still as powerful as before or the sudden rise of the Mist Church, as long as both sides were in a stalemate and fought, he would have achieved his goal.
He and His Majesty needed two churches that were at war with each other, not friendly relations.
Because only by doing so could royal authority truly flourish.
Royal authority granted by God?
Heh.
The old marquis sneered in his heart and looked at the dark clouds in the sky.
There, countless bolts of Thunder had already condensed.
Then, he looked at the ground.
The dense mist had completely concealed the figures of the Mist religious sect's people. Standing where he was, he couldn't even see a single trace of them.
Thunder VS Mist?
The old marquis retracted the smile on his face, and his expression became serious.
Although he had achieved his goal, the old marquis didn't mind observing his opponent's strength.
Know thyself, know thy enemy, and be victorious in every battle!
He understood this principle.
And just as the old marquis was anticipating —
Rumble!
A bolt of Thunder struck down from above.
…
Kieran, who was paying attention to the changes in the battlefield, used [Lord of Mist] to reply to Bloody Mary without a second thought and granted it [Blessing].
A scarlet glow flashed over Bloody Mary's body for a moment.
Feeling the buff from Bloodthirst Blessing, Bloody Mary used the mist as a cover and jumped up to the sky, welcoming the bolt of lightning.
The bolt of lightning accurately struck Bloody Mary's body.
However, Bloody Mary didn't feel any damage at all.
After reaching rank II, Bloody Mary's [Phantasm Body] wasn't just immune to all physical damage, it was also only able to withstand 60% of energy damage. After acquiring Bloodthirst Blessing, Bloody Mary's Strength increased by 105%, damage received reduced by 60%, and it could absorb the enemy's blood to replenish its own HP.
After the two attributes were subtracted, Bloody Mary was able to ignore all energy attacks.
However, it didn't mean Bloody Mary was immortal.
Inside the Thunder, there was the will of the God of War!
It was a pure spiritual attack!
Vast!
Powerful!
The sharp spirit attack penetrated Bloody Mary's body in an instant.
Bloody Mary shuddered.
Being invaded by a foreign will was definitely not a pleasant experience.
Even though Bloody Mary was prepared for it, the pain made its face twist.
The willpower was merciless, trying to tear Bloody Mary's soul into pieces.
But …
Inside Bloody Mary's body, the willpower could not find the soul that belonged to Bloody Mary!
What it found was another kind of unbelievably dense power.
The power of contracts!
The willpower of God of War was stunned.
Feeling the boundless power of contracts that was as vast as the sea of stars, it almost thought it saw a God with a divine title of contract. Otherwise, where did all the power of contracts come from?
Could it be that they signed contracts one by one?
Who would be so bored as to sign so many contracts?
Didn't contracts cost money?
The doubts in its heart made the willpower of God of War hesitant, it didn't know what to do.
However, right away, the willpower of God of War followed its instinct and fought.
The target's soul was covered by layers of contracts.
It knew exactly where the target was.
However, the other side of the contract wasn't covered at all.
It was like a bright path.
Without further ado, the willpower of God of War dashed into the path.
Since the target's body couldn't be destroyed, it would destroy the target of the contract!
With such a vast power of contracts, as long as one of them was destroyed, the other would be destroyed!
The willpower of God of War was very confident.
As for whether it was a trap?
The willpower of God of War didn't care.
The target was in a standoff with him.
Other than the target, who else could be a match for him?
If it was under normal circumstances, the target could be killed with a little more time. It was just the special environment that made the target seem on par with him.
Therefore, as the only God in the Northern Lands, the God of War was proud.
The pride was extended to the willpower of God of War.
So …
When the willpower of God of War descended upon a barren land, it was lost.
It looked at the barren land filled with darkness and chaos. It couldn't believe that this was where the soul resided.
Any normal soul would probably go crazy from loneliness in this place, right?
Or was the other side of the contract a madman?
Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to use so many contracts.
The guess in its heart didn't stop the willpower of God of War from acting.
It began to use its own power to stir up this world.
Although the world of a madman would be stronger than the soul world of an ordinary person, it was nothing compared to it.
Even if this was the soul world of the so-called 'fog', it wouldn't be worried at all.
On the contrary, it wished for this to be the case.
Demigods were strong.
Far beyond mortals.
But compared to a real God, how could it be considered anything?
Therefore, the willpower of God of War began to spin crazily, releasing its power to its heart's content.
But after a few seconds, the willpower realized that something was wrong.
The sturdiness of this place was extraordinary.
It far exceeded the level that a demigod could reach.
And …
The willpower of God of War, who was thinking, seemed to sense something and subconsciously raised its head.
It saw a huge palm made entirely of flames descending from the sky.
Its last consciousness was that it was slapped to the ground and heard the sound of its body shattering.
Creak.
Kieran chewed on the crispy bones.
It was a specially selected steak. Almost every piece of meat was rich in fat, and there were small crispy bones in between the fat and the lean meat. It was like a hidden treasure under the ground.
When the meat juices exploded on the tip of the tongue, the crispy feeling of chewing made Kieran couldn't help but praise.
The simplest cooking could bring out the best taste of the food.
It didn't need more seasoning.
It didn't need extra work either.
Gluttony, who was chewing on the willpower of God of War, nodded repeatedly.
He approved of his elder brother.
Just like before.
His mouth was humming softly.
Gluttony expressed his feelings.
For Gluttony, who had tasted the willpower of a God for the first time, today was too wonderful.
Without any effort, without any words, the food was sent to his mouth. What was better than this kind of 'feeding'?
Of course, it was because the food was delicious.
The willpower of God of War was like the most delicious soup.
It wasn't just mellow, it was clear and refreshing, not greasy at all.
After the adjustment, the mellow willpower of the God of War had become the bone marrow of Niu Da Gu. Not only did it retain the original tenderness of the bone marrow, but it also had the unique taste of meat. As long as he sucked it in with his mouth, it would slip into his mouth.
When the first note faded and the second note started to spread, the willpower of God of War became crispy and tender, like a big squid on an iron plate. One side was smeared with oil, two sides were smeared with sauce, and sesame and peanuts were sprinkled on top. The moment it entered Gluttony's mouth, he couldn't stop himself.
"Is … Is there more?"
Gluttony sucked his saliva and stuttered.
"There is more."
Kieran said in an affirmative tone.
God of War wouldn't let the matter rest after losing a willpower for no reason.
Just like what Kieran thought, after the first willpower vanished, the dark clouds in the sky outside Aïtantin Castle rumbled even more violently. Three bolts of lightning struck down at the same time.
Bloody Mary was like a lightning rod, catching all three bolts of lightning accurately.
Then, its body twitched non-stop.
It also wanted to look calm and unharmed.
But it was too painful.
Being able to hold back from making a sound was the best it could do.
After the three willpower of God of War entered Bloody Mary's body, they didn't stop at all. They followed the power of the contract and returned to the barren wilderness.
Compared to before, this time, the three willpower of God of War stood back to back, looking outwards and scanning their surroundings.
They didn't know what happened before this.
But they knew something was wrong with this place.
Any slight carelessness would lead them to the same fate.
Therefore, even when they were stirring up this place, hoping to shatter this strange spiritual world, they maintained a certain level of leeway.
They only used half of the willpower from before and used the rest of their strength to stay alert and defend.
Of course, doing so was effective!
When the wilderness started to tremble, the three willpower of God of War noticed a humanoid figure in the deeper part of the wilderness.
The next moment, as if they teleported, the three willpower of God of War appeared in front of the figure.
The figure was a Knight sitting cross-legged.
He was wearing a full set of armor and was facing the sea, watching the ebb and flow of the tides.
Even when the three willpower of God of War appeared, they didn't affect the Knight at all.
He didn't move, he didn't even raise his head.
Meanwhile, the three wills of the Divine God of Battle mustered all their strength to unleash their most powerful attacks.
Swords!
Spears!
Battle axes!
Three different weapons materialized in the hands of the three willpower of God of War and attacked the Knight at the same time.
The swords were aimed at the throat.
The spears were aimed at the abdomen.
The battle axes were aimed at the Knight's head.
The Knight's armor?
The three willpower of God of War saw it.
But they did not think that this materialized armor could withstand the weapons they had materialized.
They believed that this armor would be shattered by them along with the other party.
KABOOM!
The three willpower of God of War's attacks landed on the Knight's figure at the same time.
Then …
The three of them shattered at the same time.
The willpower of God of War dissipated again.
Gluttony, who had been waiting for a long time, cheered. Like the wind, he swept the shattered willpower of God of War into his mouth and chewed on it.
Usually, Gluttony wasn't used to chewing.
But there were exceptions!
For example, when the food was delicious enough!
Kieran felt the rapidly increasing Origin Force in his body. He didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
He had already adapted to this way of growth.
He didn't hate it either.
Just like how he didn't hate slightly heating his breakfast.
An exquisite charcoal stove appeared on the desk in front of him.
The charcoal stove, which was originally used to keep warm, returned to its original purpose. A delicate porcelain plate was placed on top of the charcoal stove, and Kieran placed some of the cold little things on top of it. He also added some gravy.
Under the high temperature of the charcoal, the soup started to boil after a dozen breaths.
Gulp, Gulp.
The boiling soup invaded the ribs again.
The aroma of food spread in the study room.
Kieran smiled as he put several sausages from the plate into the soup.
Then, he waited patiently.
The food became more delicious.
And …
God of War's next attack.
Undoubtedly, the two defeats made the God of War more cautious.
The dark clouds rumbled, thunder rumbled ceaselessly, but no more lightning struck down.
The God of War was accumulating power.
He didn't find the problem.
But he knew as long as he had enough power, he could eliminate all problems.
It was like that in the past.
Now was no exception!
Kakroom!
Amidst the deafening noise and blinding light, a dozen meters thick lightning bolt filled with destructive presence struck Bloody Mary.
