Shallow Shallow's shocking words caused the three top-notch experts in the human world to fall into a daze. The Gods that humans had always worshipped and didn't dare to blaspheme were actually as familiar as their neighbor, Uncle Wang, in the eyes of these people from another world. This made them feel that the world had really gone crazy.
"Are you surprised?"
I tried my best to hold back my laughter as I feigned surprise. It was as though I was surprised to find out that my neighbor, Uncle Wang, also had worshippers. I felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment to be able to make such an expression on the faces of these top-notch experts.
"You … You mentioned God just now …" The corner of Vinoa's mouth twitched. He didn't know how to describe what he was thinking.
"Yeah." I nodded. "The Empire and the God Realm have a close relationship. You should know that the Chaos Abyss isn't a simple enemy. Over the years of fighting against the Chaos Abyss, we have built a strong friendship with the Protoss …"
Looking at the change in Muro and the others' expressions from shock to reverence, I knew that I had successfully tricked them.
It was my principle to quit while I was ahead. Thus, I wisely chose to leave before I got entangled with them.
If I were to stay here any longer, my tricking might go awry. Not mentioning anything else, just looking at Mu's increasingly agitated expression, I was afraid that he would drag me to look for the Goddess of Life …
Everything was as we had expected. The Ordo Empire rejected our request for reinforcements through Modesis the Third without any hesitation. They arrogantly declared that with the protection of the Radiant God, they would be able to defeat all filthy and evil powers.
If they had only met with ordinary demonic creatures, there wouldn't be anything wrong with such an arrogant declaration. It would be rather easy for humans who wielded Holy Light to destroy demonic creatures. However, there was a leader of the Chaos Abyss among the enemies. Without any reinforcements, the Ordo Empire would be in grave danger. In history, there were many Empires that had fought against the power of the Chaos Abyss for a long time, but they had been destroyed when facing the true Chaos. It was a pity that the Ordo Empire didn't know what kind of enemy they would be facing this time.
"Sooner or later, they will be destroyed due to their arrogance."
Modesis the Third said indignantly as he sat in front of me. He couldn't help but cast a respectful gaze at Alaya who was standing behind me.
For the first time, the intelligence from Mu Luo caused the talented and bold Emperor to lose his composure. The descent of the Divine Race into the human world had always been something that only appeared in myths and legends. But now, he actually encountered such a thing. The old Emperor really did not know whether this was a good or bad thing.
Perhaps it was a good thing. As a ruler, having a Protoss descend into the world during his reign was something to be proud of and recorded in the history books. That was if he treated the Xiling Empire in a friendlier manner.
Modesis the Third was well aware of his attitude towards the Xiling Empire. Although he appeared to be friendly and magnanimous towards these mysterious races that came from another world and claimed to be his allies, he had done many shady things in secret. Needless to say, he had even attempted to capture a Schilling warrior to study the secrets of the Schilling Empire's powerful source of power. Although that operation had mysteriously failed, Modesis the Third was certain that his actions had been completely known by the Schilling Empire.
Now, a shocking fact was placed in front of him. These Shiring Apostles from another world were a powerful race that could stand on equal footing with the Gods. Furthermore, their relationship with the Gods was as close as brothers and sisters. This could be seen from the angel that he had seen feeding a Schilling girl.
Modesis the Third had completely given up on the idea of studying how powerful these Shiring Apostles were and what their goals were. What he could do now was to try his best to show his goodwill and make up for his previous offense by complimenting them.
Although it seemed that this Schilling Emperor named Chen Jun was easy to talk to, the bad thing was that apart from him, almost all the other Shiring Apostles were obviously belligerent. The young Empress named Sandora had even confessed her ambition to conquer the world. If he could not repair his relationship with the Xiling Empire now, no one could tell whether the descent of the Gods would be a good thing or a bad thing. If he was not careful, he would not only have to face the threat of the Xiling Empire, but also the wrath of the Protoss.
I could roughly guess what Modesis the Third was thinking, but that was not what I was concerned about. Right now, I only wanted to eliminate that annoying Caesars as soon as possible. According to the Bubble's latest calculations, after Caesars' death, the power of the Abyss in this world would be weakened by at least 30%. That would be enough for the Army Teleporter to relocate the space-time coordinates of Earth. In other words, as long as we won the next battle, we could go home. The natives of this world could deal with the remaining enemies.

The capital of the Ordo Empire, Leyton City.
The most eye-catching and most important building in this magnificent city was not the palace of the Ordo Emperor, but a cathedral that was almost the same size as the palace and made entirely of white marble. That was the headquarters of the Ordo Empire's religion, the Church of Light. It was also the spiritual pillar in the hearts of all the Ordo citizens. As long as one approached this magnificent white building, the abundant power of Holy Light in the surrounding air could even make one feel as if the God of Light was beside them.
In the largest private prayer room in the cathedral, Mellon Pope had just finished praying.
He was a wise and knowledgeable old man with great power. Although he was powerful enough to maintain his youth for a long time, he still did not change his old appearance because he had dedicated his body and mind to the God of Light. As long as he could fulfill his duty of dispelling evil in the world, he did not care about his appearance at all.
Mellon Pope was kind and benevolent, but like everyone else in the cathedral, he was also a stubborn believer of the God of Light. That was why he did not hesitate to reject the support from the Vidis Empire yesterday, even though he had also noticed the evil energy gradually gathering at the border.
He was deeply worried about the Xiling Empire of unknown origin.
Based on the current intelligence, the Xi Ling Empire was here to help this world destroy the demonic forces. However, the power displayed by the Xi Ling Empire and their unsettling military expansion made people shudder. Even if it wasn't for religious considerations, Mellon would never allow them to enter Ordo's territory. The Xi Ling Empire was a warring species from another world that could sweep across the entire world like a plague.
He firmly believed that he was doing the right thing.
"The forgiving God of Light will definitely understand my actions."
Mellon drew a cross on his chest and said in a low voice.
"Although he understands what you're doing, your actions are embarrassing to God."
A majestic female voice suddenly rang out in the prayer room, and then Mellon felt the power of the Holy Light sweeping towards him in an overwhelming manner.
The old Pope subconsciously put on a defensive posture. At the same time, he was extremely shocked that someone could sneak into the prayer room that could be said to be the most powerful defense in the entire Ordo Empire. But the scene that appeared in front of him immediately made him lose the ability to think for a short time. He did not even notice that the prayer book in his hand had fallen to the ground.
Under the bright but not dazzling holy light, a silver-haired, golden-eyed angel with wings on his back slowly descended from above and then stood a few meters in front of him, half a meter above the ground in the air. The soft halo obscured the angel's appearance, making it impossible for him to look at the angel directly. However, Mellon could still clearly feel a pair of majestic and loving eyes looking at him.
Alaya remembered what I told her: Either fly, hover in the air, or don't land on the ground. I don't dare to imagine how terrible the consequences would be if this angel sister, who hid her natural naivety, were to wrestle on the ground in front of the believers of the God of Light.
Five seconds later, Mellon finally realized what was happening. He fell to the ground and shouted excitedly, "Praise the God of Light! Esteemed Oracle! "
Alaya took the opportunity when Mellon lowered his head and quickly took out a slip of paper from her bag. She glanced at it and gathered her emotions before saying solemnly, "You rejected the aid of the Xiling Empire?"
At this moment, she suddenly felt a little jealous of the Schilling compatriots who used a stylized memory system. If she had a better memory, the monarch would not have laughed until his stomach cramped.
Mellon naturally could not see Alaya's actions. He only felt puzzled. "Esteemed Oracle, did you just mention … the Xiling Empire?"
"That's right, the Xiling Empire. I … They crossed countless realms to assist you, but you rejected them. This is very embarrassing for the gods."
"Could it be … Could it be that the Xiling Empire …"
Mellon felt cold sweat forming on his head.
"The Xi Ling Apostles from another world are a powerful race that has extensive communication with the gods. One of their emperors is acquainted with the God of Light, that's why they came to assist you — but you, rejected them at the door!"
