While Louis Wildenstein was surprised by the new level 25 divine incantation, in the northern part of America, outside the suburbs of Toronto on Lake Ontario, someone was already preparing to use this divine incantation in actual combat.
Zooey Wharton, the 'Chosen Knight' of the Church of Destiny, was standing at the gate of the Reid Manor, sensing the information about the 'Grand Benediction' in his mind with great interest.
"As long as there are enough elements, almost all wishes can be fulfilled? This divine incantation of my Lord, I'm looking forward to it. "
Zooey Wharton was one of the 48 Chosen Knights of the 'Holy Wing Knights,' but in addition to this identity, he was also a semi-holy knight of the Church of Destiny.
So when this divine incantation was created in the divine system of the Church of Destiny, Zooey Wharton immediately noticed it.
This was an extremely high level divine incantation with extremely harsh conditions. But as a semi-holy knight, Zooey Wharton knew that he had the ability to use it.
Just by sensing its structure, he could feel the power of this divine incantation.
It might be the same as the 'Luck Incantation', 'Misfortune Incantation', 'Light Speed Movement', 'Time Acceleration', 'Infinite Vitality', 'Youth Bestowal', 'Banishment', 'Resurrection', and the 'Grand Resurrection' of the church.
Zooey Wharton couldn't help but look at the fortress-like manor in front of him eagerly. In addition to fighting spirit, fanaticism, and impatience, there was also strong disgust in his eyes.
"It's about time, right? What's the reply inside? "
"Thirteen minutes until the time of the ultimatum."
The one who answered was the deputy commander of this attack, a cardinal named Viccari.
He was a gentle middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses. But it had to be mentioned. He wasn't a priest by profession, but a war priest. Among the clergy, he was more inclined to war and even focused on war.
"Are you going to take this opportunity to test the effect of the Grand Benediction given by the Lord?"
"Yes, I have this idea. I want to see how magical it is. Don't tell me you don't want to see it, Vicari? "
Zooey Wharton said while stabbing her sword into the ground. "Thirteen minutes. Then I'm ready to start, Vicari!"
As soon as he said that, a pure and powerful divine power and countless mysterious runes appeared beneath his feet.
The cardinal named Viccari raised his eyebrows and fixed his gaze on Zooey Wharton. He sensed that the guy beside him had improved by leaps and bounds after meeting him again after three months.
This realm should not be too far away from becoming a true God, right? Perhaps before long, he would have to address this person as' Your Highness'.
The Cardinal Bishop sighed inwardly, rejoicing over his decision all those years ago.
However, he was not envious or jealous, because he knew that Knight Wharton's situation was not something he could be envious of.
This semi-divine knight was originally a Legendary-tier Mana Hunter who lived on the west coast of America and worked for a security company. To put it bluntly, he was a so-called mercenary.
However, a few years ago, after the worldwide calamity caused by the 'World of the Beasts', Zooey Wharton made a decision that shocked all his friends. He joined the Church of Destiny and became a Holy Knight under the command of the Lord of Destiny.
At that time, it was Viccari who introduced Zooey Wharton.
When everyone doubted Zooey Wharton's reliability and the whole Church was in a state of panic due to the endless number of moles, Viccari, who was the Bishop of the Church at that time, stood his ground and personally vouched for Zooey Wharton.
This became Viccari's proudest achievement. Zooey did not let him down. In just four years, he had become one of the only nine Demigod Holy Knights in the Church!
Such an achievement was very surprising. After all, Knight Wharton did not become a Holy Knight halfway through his life. As for the Mana Hunter, it had nothing to do with the Paladins.
However, in these four years, this Holy Knight's profession level expanded like a balloon, and in less than two years, he had entered the Demigod level.
Many people thought that he was probably lucky enough to get the Lord of Destiny's favor. However, Bishop Viccari knew that although Zooey Wharton did get a certain amount of attention from the Lord of Destiny, the reason why he could grow to this stage in such a short period of time was more because of 'compatibility'.
Zooey Wharton's recognition of the 'Holy Grimoire of Destiny' was unparalleled, and he had a devotion that surpassed all fanatics. He had always followed the rules set by the Lord of Destiny.
This was the biggest reason why Knight Zooey Wharton was able to become a Demigod Holy Knight in such a short period of time! The Lord's divine power was incomparable to him.
However, for some reason, Knight Zooey Wharton had an incomprehensible obsession and hatred towards the Church of the Goddess of Liberty. Bishop Vicary guessed that it might have something to do with his mercenary experience, but Zooey Wharton had always been secretive about it, so Bishop Vicary had always been puzzled. However, he didn't mind it at all.
He believed that the Church's intelligence department had already investigated Knight Wharton's past.
"Ten more minutes, Knight Wharton!"
"It's okay, this divine art needs some time to prepare."
Zooey Wharton answered indifferently, and at the same time, continued to expand the rune array under his feet.
Since Zooey Wharton had never cast it before, and had not done any related practice, the process of casting the spell was a little awkward. However, this divine art itself needed a minute of time. Other than that, he also had to consider the possibility of the divine art failing due to his inexperience.
At this moment, the Holy Knight's lips curled into a sarcastic smile, "I can roughly guess how the Reid family will respond. They must still have unrealistic hopes that they can protect their family's foundation. But the situation now is not like a few years ago. The Goddess of Strife's poison must be eradicated no matter what. "
"Wow! Looks like you can't wait to kill everyone in there? "
"No, I won't do that. Our Lord does not allow meaningless killing, nor does he allow us to point the butcher's knife at the innocent. The Reid family and the believers of the Goddess of Liberty are the ones we must get rid of. "
Bishop Vicary thought to himself that these words sounded high-sounding, but how could they tell? Then, he regretted it and hit his head with his hand in resentment.
He knew that because he usually had too many thoughts, he could not be as pure as Zooey Wharton, and that was why his priesthood level could not be promoted.
Just as he was about to say something, a message popped up on Vicary's mobile phone. He glanced at it casually and sneered.
"You guessed wrong this time, Zooey! Start the attack, there's no need to wait any longer. His Highness Reinhardt sent a message, the Reid family has asked for help from the Canadian government. "
Zooey Wharton's pupils slightly dilated, and then filled with murderous intent, "Simply reckless! I make a wish, in 20 minutes, to maximize my combat power! "
At this moment, Bishop Vicary had goosebumps all over his body. He sensed that Zooey Wharton's aura was rising rapidly! Behind her, there were even three pairs of purple-gold divine wings spread out, looking very similar to the Lord of Light's' Angel '—
In the next moment, a large area of the outer wall of the Reid manor collapsed.
At this moment, Zooey Wharton's figure was already standing on it, bombarded by countless bullets and rays. However, these powerful thermal weapons were unable to cause any damage to this Holy Knight. It was as if his entire person no longer existed in this dimension.
In the next moment, a large area of ice began to spread inside the manor.
That was the divine spell 'Silent Winter' — the Lord of Destiny had transformed the 13 forbidden spells he mastered into divine spells and bestowed them to the clergymen of the church to practice. Although they were not as good as the real forbidden spells, they were powerful and not inferior to the forbidden spells by much. But they were also very difficult to practice, ten times more difficult than a divine spell like the Great Benediction. Any priest or war priest would find it difficult to master even one of them in their lifetime.
But Zooey Wharton, as a Holy Knight, was a weirdo who mastered the pseudo forbidden spell 'Silent Winter' in just a year. His thoughts and beliefs were in harmony, and his own talent allowed him to learn any divine spell extremely quickly.
And this time, the power of Zooey Wharton's' Silent Winter 'was even more exaggerated. In less than 30 breaths, the temperature within 120 kilometers had dropped to -100 degrees Celsius. The temperature within three kilometers of the core area was close to absolute zero. Everyone who was covered in this area was completely frozen into ice sculptures.
And the mythical magic energy protection array inside the Reid Manor did not have any effect under this person's suppression.
This is?
Bishop Viccari could not help but feel his scalp tingle. Then, he was extremely excited.
He realized that what Zooey Wharton had now mastered was the true 'Dominion Angel' level, which was the combat power of a high-level god. Instead of relying on the accumulation of magic armor and biological prosthetics.
This Benediction could actually push Wharton's strength to such an extent!
But it seemed to be a pity if it was only used in battle.
Bishop Vicary could identify the true value of this Benediction in a second. It had many uses, but the one that benefited the most was the effect of assisting in training.
He secretly sighed, and at the same time, he was excited. On one hand, he was looking forward to the effect of using the Benediction; on the other hand, he was thinking about how many human powerhouses and forces in this world would move closer to the God of Destiny after the details of this divine art were spread.
Just in terms of the practicality of the divine art system, the Church of Destiny had begun to surpass the God of Light; and in terms of attraction to human powerhouses, it was two to three orders of magnitude higher, especially those mages.
Their Lord did not seem to mind being used at all and becoming the ladder for those demigod powerhouses to continue to climb up; He also did not mind sharing and bestowing grace to mortals.
Bishop Vicary was more or less worried about this. He did not know what the God he believed in was thinking.
The large-scale promotion of gods around the world, especially the mass production of 'ancient gods', would only shake the faith of mortals. Other than strengthening the power of the Church of Destiny to a certain extent, it was not beneficial to the Gods themselves.
"Boom!"
A loud noise interrupted Bishop Vicary's thoughts and made him put away all the distracting thoughts. When he spread out his divine sense, he found that Zooey Wharton was already fighting with a white figure with six pairs of wings.
Bishop Vicary recognized at a glance that it was a 'Throne Angel' level Angel of Freedom, whose combat power was equivalent to a mid-level god!
The Church of Liberty was obviously not willing to sit still and wait for death, so they sent reinforcements to the Reid Manor.
However, Vicary's thoughts did not waver because of this. If it was not long ago, this was undoubtedly a powerful existence that could make them feel troubled.
But now, Knight Wharton already had a huge advantage in this battle that had just begun.
Moreover, their overall combat power was also extremely strong. Just the 'Divine Wing Knights' that were gathered here alone numbered five companies.
"Speed up! Try to finish the battle within 15 minutes. "
Bishop Vicary ordered, "All troops are free to fight and eradicate the believers of the Goddess of Freedom as much as possible!"
He knew that this order he gave would cause a large number of deaths in the Reid Manor.
But Knight Wharton was right about one thing, it was not the past anymore. A few years ago, the Church of Destiny needed to recruit a large number of people from all sides, even former enemies, in an attempt to strengthen their own strength as quickly as possible.
But now, if I don't eradicate the thorns on this land, how can I make enough land to appease and motivate the stakeholders within the camp?

At the same time, at 24 Sussex Road in Ottawa, the country's Prime Minister, Edward Warrington, stood at the window with an indifferent expression. And behind him, the current Minister of Finance, Edie Ammann, was filled with righteous indignation.
"There is no doubt that this is an invasion against our country! That Lord of Destiny is treating the sovereignty and security of our country as nothing. How is this a God? He's a complete demon! "
At this time, a young woman dressed as a secretary hurried in, "Prime Minister, there's news from the Reid Manor. The Church of Destiny's armed forces have launched an attack in advance and have now broken into the manor. They have the power of a high-level god directly involved in the battle. "
Many politicians and dignitaries gathered in this office. There was a sudden uproar. Then some of them continued to remain silent, some of them looked as if they had lost their parents, and some of them looked angry and indignant.
"How dare they?"
"This is disregard! No! This is trampling on the law of our country! "
"I suggest a large-scale exposure in the media! We have to let his believers know that their God has betrayed his doctrine! "
"That's right! Those priests of the Church of Destiny have always whitewashed their God as a righteous God of War and never supported unjust wars. But now, we have the obligation to let people know his true face! We have to reveal the truth to the world! "
Among the people, an old man in his sixties was already pale.
"Didn't we send two companies of Divine Shield Force? Where are they now? "
"They've been intercepted, Mr. Reid."
The female secretary looked at the Defense Minister, who was almost paralyzed on the sofa, with pity in her eyes, "They've been intercepted by two companies of Divine Wing Knights on Route 37. It's said that there were heavy casualties."
She knew that after today, the Reid Family with a glorious history of three hundred years would disappear.
Prime Minister Edward Warrington was unmoved. He still had his hands behind his back and looked out the window thoughtfully. Only the corner of his lips curled into a sarcastic smile.
The Master of Destiny was indeed not righteous, but it would undoubtedly be absurd to say that this war was unjust.
According to the propaganda of the Church of Destiny, the Statue of Liberty had fallen in the battle against the Master of Destiny. It was said that the five God Kings, including the Night Goddess, Rhea, the Holy Mother of Light, and Satan, had joined forces, but the Master of Destiny had still turned defeat into victory. Not only did they kill the Statue of Liberty, but they also seriously injured the Holy Mother of Light and the other God Kings.
Edward could not confirm this for the time being, because this information was too unbelievable. After all, the Master of Destiny had only risen for less than ten years. But he believed that the Church of Destiny would not make a decision that went against the teachings of Destiny.
The Master of Destiny's control over his church was extremely strong, and an aggressive war against humans was against the divinity of the Master of Destiny. It would cause great harm to the latter, and in the end, the gains would not make up for the losses.
So in his opinion, the noise in the office behind him was just the wailing of a stray dog —
At this time, which media would dare to publish such news?
"Prime Minister!"
This time, it was a young man who walked into the office. He hurried to Edward Warrington's side and handed a handheld satellite phone to the latter.
A puzzled look appeared in Ewald's eyes, but then he heard Governor Isador Chaplin's voice from the receiver.
In Canada, the governor appointed by the Queen of England was the nominal head of the country, representing the interests of the British royal family. His duty was to convene and dissolve parliament, sign the bills passed by parliament, nominate the prime minister, and so on.
But ever since the British pantheon was destroyed, Edward had not communicated with this governor for a long time. England's control and influence over this country had fallen to the extreme.
This time, the method of communication was also very strange. Instead of using the hotline between their offices, they used a satellite phone. Edward guessed that this was probably related to the content of the communication, and the other side did not want to leave any evidence with him.
"Is that so?"
"In other words, the Statue of Liberty has indeed suffered heavy losses. The matter of the Master of Destiny being besieged is also true? "
"Yes, I already know what to do."
"Lady Targaryen will call me later? Is it the Chosen of the Lord? It's an honor, and I'm very grateful! "
About a minute later, Edward Warrington placed the satellite phone in his hand on his desk. Then, he looked at the many cabinet members present with rejoicing, tough, and indifferent eyes.
"Mr. Chief of Staff, please help me convey my orders. All troops are to be on standby, and are not to leave the station. All Divine Shield troops are to retreat as soon as possible. Also, inform the National Mage Envoys that all previous orders are invalid. "
These orders immediately caused a huge uproar in the office. Some people even started cursing out loud.
"Warrington, what do you want to do? Why do you want to withdraw our troops? "
"Even you want to betray Her Highness? You'll definitely go to hell. "
"This is a betrayal to the country, to the people!"
"You piece of shit! I knew you were a scoundrel when you were campaigning. "
Edward Warrington was only glad that he was sitting in the position of prime minister at this time, and had value to the great ruler.
"It's time to recognize reality, everyone!"
He continued to stare at everyone, unmoved, "We are powerless to fight against America, and similarly cannot resist the great ruler. This is undoubtedly a war of justice, and the Goddess of Liberty fell in the process of attacking the Lord of Fate. Now, everything is just a counterattack by the Church of Fate. In accordance with the teachings of the ruler, his believers are not willing to fight unjust wars. But when someone forces war on them, then an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, blood for blood! "
He noticed that nearly half of the cabinet members in the office looked calm, and some even smiled appreciatively at him.
Edward Warrington could not help but sigh, "This meeting is over, everyone! Apart from the Chief of Staff and Chief of Staff, everyone else can leave. I will convene a meeting tomorrow to reorganize the cabinet. "
At this point, he paused for ten seconds, "Mr. and Mrs. Whips, please submit a bill as soon as possible to ban the legal preaching rights of the Church of Liberty in our country."
"Is it appropriate at this time?"
This was the Liberal Democrat Whip, Mike Howard, "I personally suggest that it is best to discuss within the party for a few days, and reach a unified consensus before submitting the bill."
"There's no point, it will definitely pass, right? One day is enough for us to unify the party's opinion. You probably don't know, but both parties in the American Congress have already proposed related bills on this matter. I estimate that by tomorrow morning, the Goddess of Liberty will be an illegal religion in America. "
Edward Warrington shook his head, he knew that the most dangerous thing at this time was to be half-hearted and wavering.
Since he had already decided to reverse, there was no need to leave a way out. The Goddess of Liberty was definitely not a magnanimous lord, if she still existed, she would never forgive the decision he had just made.
Moreover, he could now confirm that the Goddess of Liberty had indeed fallen, or at least suffered a major blow.
This was not information revealed by the governor, but information from various sources, which made Edward Warrington certain that the Goddess of Liberty was unable to respond to the attack of the Church of Fate. All her 'inheritance' in the mortal world was coveted by various forces.
"Also, Mr. Chief of Staff, by the way, remove the Statue of Liberty in front of the official residence, and remove the inscription on the gate as soon as possible. I believe that in this era, the Lord of Fate who represents' equality 'is more suitable for this country. "
— — These were all matters within the scope of Edward Warrington's authority, and he could directly make decisions. He knew that from now on, he must do everything possible to cooperate with the Church of Fate, and erase the Goddess of Liberty in this country.
