In the Upper West Side of Manhattan, the central cathedral of the Church of Destiny. The stream of bullets shot from all directions continuously bombarded the divine power wall around the cathedral, and there were even some rockets and recoilless artillery shells mixed in. It triggered a burst of crimson flames, and a huge shockwave spread out in all directions.
The bullets fired by high-grade magic professionals had huge kinetic energy, easily exceeding Mach 30, and had strong penetrating and lethality. The violent shock they caused destroyed the trees around the cathedral.
In a magic tower above the church, the chairman of the magic tower committee in Manhattan, the demigod wizard Phil Huston, was looking at the scene below the magic tower array with a gaze that was both emotional and indifferent at the same time. Less than a minute after the battle, he received a call from the mayor of Manhattan, Burt Barry.
"Phil, can you tell me what's going on in the Upper West Side? Someone complained to me that the church of the Church of Destiny was attacked, but they didn't get the protection that the magic tower array should have. "
"I'm sorry, Mr. Mayor." Phil Huston's voice was flat. "At present, there are some faults in the magic tower array, and it can't be used normally –"
"Shit! You're lying to me, Phil Huston! The magic tower array was only repaired half a month ago! You liar, you've betrayed my trust! "
"This is the will of Her Highness the Goddess!"
Phil Huston only used a short sentence to make the mayor of Manhattan's voice stop abruptly. "So, the magic tower array is indeed malfunctioning, Mr. Mayor."
"My God!"
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be at a loss and was somewhat incoherent. "But the church is a sacred area, and the Church of Destiny is also a legal church registered by the state. They pay an annual annuity of one billion gold duns to the magic tower committee, and should be protected by the core of the magic tower array. Also, Phil, do you know how many people are attending mass in the Cathedral of Destiny now? They are all dignitaries from the upper echelons of the city, including my sister. "
Phil Huston was stunned, and then he replied in a calm voice again, "I can only say that I'm very sorry! Mr. Mayor, in this country, the will of Her Highness cannot be violated. "
Then he hung up the phone, waved his hands with the brilliance of magic energy, and continued to control the magic circle.
At this moment, on the other side of him, one of his female disciples looked over with a strange and perturbed gaze.
"Teacher, we will offend a lot of people like this. Right now, in all of Manhattan's high society, at least 30% of the women were believers of the Chief Sovereign of Fate. Most of the two thousand people in the cathedral are from the Upper West Side and Upper East Side. Once — "
"So what? It's their choice. "
Phil Huston shook his head. "You know nothing about the power of the Statue of Liberty, Rolin. In this country, her will is the most important. But now, the Goddess doesn't wish for the Chief Sovereign of Fate's power to continue expanding. Thus, their only choice is to lie low. "
But at that moment, Phil Huston's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at a building in the southern part of the Upper West Borough on the magic projection map.
Information about the building quickly flashed through his mind. It was originally a factory of the Bernard Petrochemical Company. Twenty years ago, with the expansion of Manhattan, the factory was forced to be abandoned and turned into a storage center in the south side of the city.
The problem was that at this moment, a large number of powerful Mana reactions appeared. Among them, there were more than six hundred targets above the legendary level!
Almost immediately, Phil Huston began to control the magic tower to observe the direction of the storage center. In the magic projection, he first found a large number of magic armors, and then from the surface of these armors, he found the unique marks of the 'Rising Sun' Group and the 'Wildenstein' Group.
And these magic armors were flying in the direction of the Cathedral of Fate seven kilometers away at the fastest speed they could reach.
This made Phil Huston couldn't help but stand up, and his pupils contracted slightly.
"It's the sky knights, sky knights, and heavenly knights of the Rising Sun Corporation. There are more than six hundred of them! My god, how can there be so many demigod magic armors? A total of 67! They have twenty-six people with God level battle prowess. "
His disciple, Ruo Lin, also turned pale with fright and confusion, "What's going on? When did they come in? Bernard Petrochemical Company, isn't that the property of the Rockefeller family? "
This was also the question that Phil Huston wanted to ask, but at this moment, his heart was filled with anxiety and even a little bit of loneliness.
In the next instant, a red warning light flashed on this floor of the Magic Tower. Fair Huston's mind focused slightly. He wasn't surprised at all. He knew that someone was interfering with the Demon Tower's array.
The other party also had extremely high authority, at least at the level of the vice chairman of the magic tower array committee. They had touched the core control of the magic tower array from the very beginning!
…
In the Baroque Cathedral of Destiny, Christy Barry once again let out a scream of fear as the sound of shells exploding came from outside. Her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with fear. She felt like she had fallen into hell. The many women around her were in a similar situation. Some of them even crawled under the chairs, even though they knew that it was useless.
This situation made Christie extremely regretful. Today, she followed her aunt's family to participate in the mass in the Cathedral of Fate out of curiosity. It was said that there would be a priest teaching fitness exercises to maintain youth, vitality, and beauty. And if one was devout enough to the Lord of Fate, they might even be bestowed with divine grace. This made her unable to suppress her curiosity, and she even went against her father's instructions.
However, what Christie never expected was that she would experience such danger during her first time participating in the mass of the Lord of Fate. She might even die because of this.
"My God! This is Manhattan, the Upper West Side! Are they crazy? "
Two paces away, Grace Barry, Christie's aunt, 35, appeared to be quite calm. She clasped her hands and continued to pray, at the same time comforting her family.
"Don't worry! My children, there is an underground shelter built here. It's very strong and doesn't fear any demons. Our God, he is also very powerful! He has defeated Tyr and Ares twice, and he has also forced the God of Light to retreat. As for this place, this church belongs to him. No demons or gods will be able to enter or defile it — "
These words couldn't reassure her daughters, at least not Christie. She heard the roar of countless bullets and cannonballs hitting the divine barrier, and also heard the sound of the magic array outside the church shattering under the heavy pressure.
As a graduate student of history, Christie also recognized the people who attacked the Cathedral of Fate outside. They were singing Ares and the Viking war songs that were once popular in Northern Europe.
However, Grace Barry's words were praised by a young man in a red robe who passed by. "Yes, Ms. Grace. This is the territory of our God, and no one can invade it. So ladies, please don't panic. My Lord is the master of fate and time, the ruler of life and death, the monarch of the dark side and the light side of the world, and the invincible God of War and War. He upholds equality and justice, and at the same time, he protects all believers. Here, in our God's sanctuary, no one can offend his majesty, and no one can hurt his believers! "
His divine power swept through the entire church at this moment, calming everyone's emotions in an instant.
After calming down, Christie realized that it was a young Red Priest. He shouldn't be more than 25 years old, and he was most likely a member of the Wildenstein family. He was very handsome, and his facial features were similar to Andre Lee Wildenstein that she often saw on TV. One side of his eyes was red and the other was blue. It was very strange and had a unique charm.
That should be the Archbishop and Cardinal of the Church of Fate stationed in Manhattan, 'Louis Wildenstein'. She had heard of his name on many social occasions recently.
But just as she blushed a little, she heard a crisp tearing sound. Christie looked out in astonishment. Her Spirit Vision that originated from her bloodline discovered that the divine barrier outside the church had been forcibly torn open by a giant ax.
As her emotions had calmed down, Christie was surprised to find that this church wasn't protected by the magic tower array. But this shouldn't be the case. All legal churches in the magic tower array of each city were core protection sequences, on the same level as the city government.
"No one can offend his majesty? No one can hurt his believers? Are you kidding me? Louis of the Church of Fate? "
As the crack continued to widen, a coarse and wild laughter could be heard. "Just you wait! One minute at most. One minute later, I can crush his holy emblem and topple his statue. So be afraid! Be afraid! Believers of the Lord of Fate, your fate has been sealed the moment you decided to raise that incompetent brat. "
It was a huge Mountain Giant that was two hundred meters tall. The axe in his hand was also 150 meters wide. When the giant weapon wrapped in black and yellow Origin Energy slashed over, the entire church and the earth trembled.
What left her even more terrified was that there were more than a dozen other hill giants standing behind him. They wielded giant hammers and axes and were attacking the divine barrier ferociously. Most of them had bodies that were two hundred meters tall, as well as the tremendous strength of a deity. The shockwaves and origin energy waves that they triggered after their attacks had caused the ground to collapse by more than twenty meters.
Apart from them, there were at least 11 divine clones. Although they were only Ares or Odin's subsidiary gods and valkyries, their divine radiance was dazzling and the power of their attacks wasn't much weaker than that of a lesser god.
Christie was certain that at least one-fifth of those who were attacking the church with various weapons were professionals above the Legendary Stage, and there were at least 200 of them!
Christie was shocked. On one hand, she was shocked by the Lord of Fate's endless divine power. On the other hand, she was sad for her own fate.
She knew that the divine power displayed by the Lord of Fate was indeed powerful, especially in the aspect of 'quantity'. In the entire world, he might only be inferior to the God of Light. But she also knew that if the Church of Fate didn't have enough paladins and priests to restrain the villains outside, the Lord of Fate wouldn't be able to guarantee the safety of this place no matter how much divine power he had. After all, this was only his church and not his true kingdom of god!
What made Christie even more terrified was that even though Louis Wildenstein's expression seemed calm, there was a faint trace of blood at the corner of his lips.
Is he unable to hold on any longer? This scene made Christy Barry feel especially hopeless.
"You've tried your best, Louis of the Church of Fate!"
The Hill Giant outside burst into laughter. "But your Lord is no longer able to help you, do you know? He is now leading all the mages under him to the Coral Sea to fight our Master! "
Another incomparably heavy slash blasted the divine power barrier. It was as though he was chopping firewood, causing the crack that hadn't fully healed to expand further.
But before the ladies in the Church of Fate screamed again, the Hill Giant was blasted back. It was a dazzling light that came from afar. A high-tech 'high-frequency vibrating particle knife' collided head-on with the giant axe. Not only was it repelled, but it also slashed a huge crack on the giant axe that was 150 meters wide.
"I'm a little late, Sir Louis! It took a little time on the magic tower array. We have to guard against the people of the Goddess in the magic tower committee. They will do something even more outrageous.
It was a four-meter-tall magic armor. It was the latest model of the Light and Magic Industry's' Holy Warrior 'armor. The voice belonged to one of the demigod security officers of the Xuri Corporation,' Victor Maxim '.
Behind him were two energy beams that looked like wings.
Louis Wildenstein recognized that it was the characteristic of the 'Divine Knight' after activation! This also allowed the person in front of him to have the power to overwhelm the ancient Hill Giant under the buff of various divine realms near the Church of Fate.
"No need to apologize! Victor! I can understand. In order to wipe out these bastards and scum here. "
Louis Wildenstein's eyes showed a fanaticism and fighting spirit that was completely different from his usual. "If you let these trash who dare to provoke my Lord escape, it will be an offense to me!"
At this time, his whole body was covered with layers of armor. The Biomass Gear called 'Heaven's Chosen Knight' had also spread all over his body. In his right hand, a long sword condensed from divine power was stretched out. If one looked closely, they would find that its style and pattern were no different from the 'Destiny Sword' of the Lord of Fate.
Then Louis Wildenstein rushed out like a meteor. His first slash left a huge bloody gash on the neck of an ancient Hill Giant. The giant's head was almost directly chopped off.
In this church, apart from the eight priests who stayed behind to maintain the divine barrier, there were also eight templar warriors who believed in the Lord of Fate. The rest of the priests followed closely behind and attacked out of the church. They were also wearing biological cloaks and magic armor, which greatly increased their strength. They were not at any disadvantage in the battle against the Hill Giants and the incarnations of the gods.
Christie Barry looked at this scene in surprise. She found that it was not just the Hill Giants. In the distance, the priests and warriors belonging to Ares, Tyr, and Odin were all completely suppressed. The magic armors surged from all directions and formed an encirclement around the church, supported by fierce firepower. Near the church, under the suppression of the Lord of Fate's divine territory, the enemies were suppressed to the point where they couldn't even raise their heads. In less than seven seconds after firing, the powerful bullets tore the avatars of the five gods into pieces.
The storm and the impact of the Astral Force caused by the battle between the two sides had far exceeded the limit of the Manhattan Magic Tower's array.
Christie thought that it was fortunate that this was the Upper West Side, which had a relatively small population. Apart from the two universities, the rest of the residents were either rich or powerful. The various buildings here also had the highest level of defense. Otherwise, they would have suffered heavy casualties by now!
"So powerful! I never knew that the Wildenstein Group was so powerful. "
Even her aunt, Grace Barry, had a strange expression. "Those armors aren't the 'Holy Warriors' produced by the Light and Magic Industry."
Christie Barry also noticed this situation. Some of the demigod-level magic armor models were not the world-shocking but rare 'Holy Warrior' produced by the Light and Magic Industry. Although it was slightly inferior to the latter in terms of overall combat power, it was undoubtedly a Demigod-Level Magic Armor!
Her eyes couldn't help but turn solemn. She had already realized that the balance of power in this world was likely to change drastically.
…
Sometime later, in Sydney, outside the Temple of Ares' Lord of War.
Robert Yvonne, known as the 'Battle Angel', flapped her divine light wings and descended one kilometer away from the huge temple.
Her arrival triggered a great panic within the temple. Even the purple-robed archbishop of Ares, Dodd Cramerson, looked at the scene outside with an ashen expression.
He had several wounds on his body, and his robe was dyed red with his blood. His aura was also relatively weak, and he was relying on medicine and the power of the temple to recover. Ares, the God of War, also held the divine title of 'Continuation of Battle', which could allow him to recover from injuries to a limited extent.
But Dodd Cramerson's eyes were already filled with despair.
Just now, they joined forces with Odin's priests and Guardian Warriors to attack the Cathedral of Destiny, but suffered a tragic failure. It was a complete trap. There was the power equivalent to two armies of the War God Temple lying in ambush nearby, and there was a demigod-level armor that far exceeded their expectations.
Therefore, in less than 15 minutes, 165 Legendary powerhouses and 22 Demigods under Ares had died in battle. And their original plan to use the advantage of manpower to besiege and kill Robert Yvonne was simply laughable.
No one could stop the 'Battle Angel', the maid of the God of War, with incomparable ease, killing all the giants, including Titans, Hills, Hundred-Armed, Jotun, and other giants. A total of 32 giants and the divine power of six gods fell under her sword. Then, she swept away nearly a quarter of their Templars with a crushing force.
This caused a devastating blow to the team of Paladins and White-robed High Priestess in Australia, and most of them came from the Old Continent. As a result, there were only seven clergymen above the Legendary level stationed in this main temple, including him. Their power was already extremely weak.
"I don't understand why. Odin's church is clearly closer to the Cathedral of Destiny! Sh * t, they have more casualties than we do — "
Not far away, a Legendary Paladin complained, but Dodd Cramerson was too lazy to respond.
It was true that Odin's warriors and priests had suffered heavy losses. But there was obviously a deeper meaning behind this!
Dodd Cramerson couldn't care less about this. He was now frantically thinking about how to protect this main temple and the glory of his god, the God of War and Royalty, Ares!
But the faster he thought, the more desperate Dodd felt. He realized that this was a dead end. This main temple in Sydney could not escape the fate of being razed no matter what. Everyone here would also face death.
At the same time, the "Tooth of the Wind God" in Robert Yvonne's hand had already gathered a powerful storm and lightning.
This sacred equipment had been greatly strengthened by her lord, and it had entered the level of Divine Grade 10. It had truly condensed the elementary Divine Right of Slavery. The souls bound by the sword were no longer demigods and Legendary, but a combination of a high-level god and 12 mid-level gods.
Three years ago, Li Mochen took her to travel to the Outland to collect materials for Angela to make an "External Elixir." It also gave her the opportunity to extract the souls and power of those powerful elemental gods. There was even a high-level Wind Elemental Emperor and a mid-level Thunder Elemental Emperor among them, which elevated the power of the "Tooth of the Wind God" in her hand to the extreme.
Although it could only be regarded as a high-level Divine Grade 10 mythical equipment, its power was similar to the "Scarlet Dragon Armor." It was already not inferior to the power of a powerful mythical equipment.
But not far from her, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes was anxiously trying to dissuade her.
"Everyone, everyone! His Highness Ares's main temple in Sydney is a landmark of Sydney. It is the most outstanding work of our country's master architect, Rod Bank, in the 36th century. You can't treat it like this. Moreover, this is Ares's temple, his divine land. Your war will destroy the entire city of Sydney. "
Robert Yvonne naturally couldn't be bothered with the mayor of Sydney. The one who came forward to deal with it was the incarnation of the God of Strategy, Garcia Ferren, who was in charge of the overall battle.
"Since this war has already begun, it's impossible for us not to fight back, Mr. Rodriar."
Garcia smiled slightly with a sarcastic look. "Don't worry, the battle will probably be very short. I personally guarantee that the subsequent battle will not cause more damage to the city of Sydney."
Rodriar's face turned pale. "But until now, there has never been a religious building on the level of the main temple and the cathedral that has been destroyed in the whole of Australia."
"Then there is one now. A tooth for a tooth, blood for blood, this is the will of our Lord!"
Garcia Ferren squinted at him again. "You probably haven't said such words to Ares. I'm really curious. How much do you Australian politicians look down on our Lord? Did you ask for help from the Church of Destiny just because of the will of the Statue of Liberty? "
"You must have misunderstood. The situation is not what you think."
Rodriar's forehead was already covered in cold sweat. "It's just that because it happened so suddenly, I didn't have the time to communicate with the priests of the God of Destiny. In fact, among my relatives, there are at least three believers of the God of Destiny. And I myself also believe in the God of Light. Of course, I have always had extraordinary respect for the God of Destiny. "
"I think it's the Statue of Liberty? Many people in Australia do this. On the surface, they are believers of the God of Light, but in reality, they are fans of the Statue of Liberty. "
A cold murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the God of Strategy, Garcia Ferren. Then, he restrained it. "Step down, Mr. Mayor. If the hundreds of Legendary and Demigod corpses outside the Church of Destiny were not enough to shut you up, then at this time, the priests and Saint Samurai of the Olympian God System did not appear. Isn't that enough to say something? "
The Mayor of Sydney's body suddenly trembled slightly, and a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.
Garcia Ferren continued in a leisurely tone. "Since the magic tower array in Sydney is not biased, and seeing that there are indeed devout believers of my Lord in your family, I will not pursue your disrespect for my Lord. But I also hope that you will correctly understand that times have changed, and Australia is no longer the Australia of the past! The glory of my Lord will shine here, and all the old gods and their followers will have to retreat! "
"I hope that you can initiate a motion in your city council to outlaw the belief of the Olympian Gods and the Aesir Gods. This is the only way to protect your country, Rodriar —"
At this moment, Robert Yvonne's "Tooth of the Wind God", wrapped in the extremely fierce "wind" and the sky full of lightning, slashed towards the Great Temple of Ares.
With a sound like that of torn leather, the divine power shield outside the Great Temple of War was instantly torn apart by the "Tooth of the Wind God". The fierce wind and the lightning that filled the sky were still at their peak as they slashed towards the shrine.
However, in the next instant, a figure shrouded in golden light appeared above the temple.
It was one of Ares' divine power avatars. He held a flaming spear in his hand and used all his strength to crush the wind and lightning. Then, under the pressure and attack of the "Tooth of the Wind God", he retreated ten meters back and stood dangerously on the steps in front of the temple.
"Filthy mortals! How dare you invade my divine land — "
However, the words of the God of War were quickly drowned out by the bullets that were shot from all directions.
Obviously, Ares also grasped the powerful divine power of space and time. With the help of the Great Temple here, he was able to descend with power far beyond a normal avatar, which was equivalent to a higher god with a divine personality of twelve! He was trying his best to distort the surrounding space and time, so that the magic energy bullets could not hit his body. But in the distance, the three red-robed bishops belonging to the Church of Fate stopped his attempt.
The God of Fate controlled fate and time at the same time, as well as the yin and yang sides of the world. Although this one had not descended here, the power he provided to the chosen was enough to restrain part of Ares's power.
More importantly, he instantly pulled the power of the incarnation of the God of War to the same level as the three red-robed bishops!
And those special bullets shot by the powerful "Sky Knights", or even the even stronger "Knights of Destiny" and "Knights of Divinity", under the guidance of fate, also had the ability to break through time and space.
Under the attack of these bullets, Ares's divine body instantly fell into a state of being riddled with holes. And the few subsidiary gods that appeared behind him, even just condensed their divine bodies, were torn apart by the dense stream of bullets!
Then, Battle Angel Robert Yvonne's second strike completely shattered Ares's divine power incarnation. It also slashed open a huge ravine in the majestic, elegant, and gorgeous temple behind "Him."
"The one who can be called the God of War in this world is my Lord!"
She looked down at the people in the Temple of the God of War with her electric eyes. Then, countless bolts of lightning and wind erupted from her body, sweeping and annihilating everything in its path!
…
The Coral Sea, the dragon-headed warship "Might". As Odin's main body descended into the main world, this warship became his flagship.
But at this moment, countless bad news that made Odin's mood were transmitted to him by the Valkyries who served him.
"Your Majesty, the breakout in Manhattan was successful, but in this battle, we lost 70 legends, six demigods, and 13 hill giants. Chapman of the Ancient Hill was heavily injured — "
"Almost all the troops in the direction of Atlanta were wiped out. Your Second Apologetics Legion, nearly 200 legendary paladins, all died. The God of Fate controls the ultimate power of death, and we were unable to retrieve their souls. "
"Hazel Wildenstein's combat power is very surprising, and her bloodline is suspected to have entered the 'Ancestor' rank. She has powerful mythical equipment, high-level ice, fire, and curses, as well as the Divine Right of Disaster, and god-level biochemical prosthetics. Her power can even fight a powerful god head-on. Our God of Steel Isbell is no match for her. Other than that, there is also a woman with the combat power of a high-level ancient god, and the pet of the God of Fate, that Nether Fire Dragon, helping her. "
"The key is that the forces Wildenstein left in Atlanta are especially strong! 1,600 legends, 130 demigods, this is equivalent to four of our armies, or a quarter of the Angel Army. It is still a trap! Andre Lee Wildenstein's divine power of fate obscured our premonition of danger. "
"Your Majesty, according to the current statistics, all of our temples in the south coast of America have been destroyed. It must be emphasized that these are all temples and shrines that belong to the Aesir Pantheon! Their movements were very fast, and they had sufficient manpower. In just half an hour, they had completed this magnificent feat. I suspect that the God of Fate has the power of at least one Angel Army under his command. It is expected that their purge will spread to the nearby states. "
"Including the Olympian pantheon?"
Odin propped his cheek with his hand and stared coldly into the distance, at the huge magic array composed of 49 Magic Towers.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The Valkyrie Alvette, who had 'intelligence' and 'battlefield omniscience,' bowed deeply to Odin. "Now the losses of the Olympian pantheon are greater than ours. Especially Ares, his main temples in Australia and Los Angeles have been destroyed, and there is also Apollo, the Sun God. There is a fierce battle in Manhattan, but I don't think it is possible for them to hold. Because of the God of Light, Apollo's true body would never dare to enter this world. "
At this time, Alvette hesitated a little. "Your Majesty, the God of Fate is obviously trying to drive a wedge between you and Ares, and is attacking Ares' determination and will to fight!"
