“Rumble.”
The large temple doors opened, and inside was wrapped in a silver light. The first thing that greeted their eyes was a huge statue with a gigantic snake wrapped around the figure. The snake’s head was held high above the figure’s head, giving it a monstrous feel.
However, it was not the first time Merlin and Wizard Dara saw this statue. Before they came to the temple, they had already seen it before. This was the “wicked god” that they had wanted to destroy.
This statue was somewhat different because in front of it were several followers kneeling as if they were praying. There were young and old followers and even women among them.
The total number of people occupying the entire hall was almost three to four hundred people. Coupled with the hundred or so wicked god believers that Merlin and Wizard Dara had just killed, these people were enough to form a complete village.
All the people here were believers of the wicked god. They did not know how long they had lived here, and they had been worshipping the wicked god since they were young. It was precisely because they had such stable faith that even after such a long time, the wicked god that had been killed by Wizard Mogan was showing signs of recovery.
Merlin felt faint divinity from the statue. It was indeed genuine divinity. It was the exact divinity that Merlin had obtained in the Glorious Land.
“Divinity really was born!”
A touch of eagerness was revealed in Merlin’s eyes. He could not wait to immediately go up to the statue to obtain the divinity. However, when he looked at Wizard Dara beside him, he saw that Wizard Dara was frowning slightly as if he did not discover the divinity and was worried.
“Wizard Dara, is there a problem?”
To Merlin, this was a superb opportunity. As long as the wicked god statue was destroyed and the carrier for belief was lost, the consciousness that was just born would completely become nothingness. Then, the followers of this wicked god would naturally be easy to deal with.
This was a very simple thing. They would be able to easily complete the task from the Glorious Palace.
“Problem? There’s a huge problem. Look at those people.”
Wizard Dara pointed at the followers in front of them, and Merlin saw that their eyes were full of fanaticism. They seemed not to fear Merlin or Wizard Dara at all. They had zealous faith in their wicked god, and that amount of belief supported the newly born consciousness in the statue of the wicked god. That statue might not be easy to destroy after all.
“Fanatical belief really makes people foolish!”
Merlin’s eyes were cold. He had no mercy for these zealous followers.
“Yes, they’re ignorant. Only Spell Casters can understand the truth thanks to the grand Wizard Mogan. Otherwise, we would still be ignorant… Wizard Merlin, you should know that the wicked god draws power from his believers’ faith, and the faith of hundreds of believers have continued to such a long time. It won’t be easy to completely destroy the wicked god.”
Wizard Dara seemed to have some misgivings. Merlin frowned and suddenly saw that there were many children in the crowd with fervent eyes as well.
It turned out that Wizard Dara was showing compassion. They were here to deal with the wicked god as well as his followers. The source of the wicked god’s powers was from the belief of his followers.
Thus, all the followers of the wicked god had to be killed!
“Wizard Dara, I never expected you to have compassion. However, these fanatical believers are completely under the wicked god’s control. They will do whatever it takes to stop us from destroying that statue. That’s why we have to act!”
The moment Merlin had finished speaking, he made the first move, and massive thunder and lightning instantly rained down, wreaking havoc throughout the entire temple. Although countless followers had the trace of silver light on their bodies, they were instantly routed after coming into contact with Merlin’s thunder and lightning, and could not resist them at all.
This was not a battle but a massacre! These followers were far inferior to the followers outside the temple before. It seemed that the believers outside the temple were the strongest believers in the temple.
Thunder and lightning raged in the temple and the followers fell one by one. However, the rest of the believers had no fear. Their mouths continued to shout, “Haliadora.”
“Haliadora!”
“Haliadora!”
…
The voices grew more and more passionate. The fanatical wicked god’s followers seemed to possess unimaginable worship for their god.
“Hum hum hum.”
Finally, the loud incantation sounds seemed to rouse the wicked god. The statue that the followers closely protected began to faintly shake as if in a small earthquake. The entire temple also started to tremble.
However, with the passage of time, the shaking became more and more severe. Merlin’s thunder and lightning were still raging, and he had killed more than half of the three hundred or so followers in the temple in the blink of an eye, leaving only around a hundred followers left.
“Swoosh.”
Finally, a huge apparition appeared from inside the statue. Its appearance was still unclear but it possessed the rough outline of the wicked god’s statue.
With the appearance of this apparition, the small silvery lights rapidly gathered to form a curtain of light that enveloped the remaining hundred or so followers.
Seeing this, the remaining believers became even more fervent, and they all shouted, “Haliadora.”
Obviously, this was the “god” that they had believed in, and that “god” had awakened!”
“The wicked god!”
Merlin narrowed his eyes. It was also his first time seeing a real deity. Although this apparition was just the wicked god’s consciousness that was just born, the signs of divinity were extremely dense.
Even Merlin could sense that the divinity was hidden in the body of this wicked god’s apparition. This directly proved that the wicked god’s apparition was the true wicked god as only deities could possess divinity.
However, the wicked god was just born. There were still many wicked god believers that prayed day and night, and that power of belief gradually awoken the previous wicked gods from nothingness or the gods in this dimension.
As long as there was faith, and there were people who continued to believe, gods could be said to be immortal in a sense!
This wicked god’s apparition was born only a short while ago, and although it had some consciousness, a true body had not been formed yet. It was just an apparition.
Although that was the case, it was still a god! The prestige and noble aura it exuded made Merlin and Wizard Dara to have a sense of foreboding.
“It’s the real wicked god! Wizard Merlin, we’re in trouble now. The wicked god is able to leave the statue sustaining the faith…”
Wizard Dara came to Merlin’s side and stared wearily at the wicked god’s apparition in front of them. Before the deity was born, it needed a carrier to sustain the consciousness of the body.
The carrier of this wicked god was the statue. Only after the consciousness strengthened to a certain extent or was extraordinarily solid, would the deity be able to leave the carrier and survive.
It seemed like the wicked god’s apparition could not leave the statue for too long or stray too far from the statue. Even so, it proved that the apparition’s consciousness had already been relatively solidified. If this continued, with the passage of time, maybe after a few years, the wicked god would condense a true body. At that time, even Ninth-level Spell Casters would be helpless.
“So, what if it’s a real god? Wizard Dara, you’ve never fought a god before. This is an opportunity.”
There were no traces of fear in Merlin’s eyes but a burning fighting spirit instead.
“Fighting a god?”
Wizard Dara was startled. Then, he saw Merlin’s eyes that were full of fighting spirit, and felt his own heart gradually boil up as well. Yes, a god from the legends, sitting high above and possessing great power that had fought with the great legend Mogan for more than a hundred years. A powerful god such as that, while inspiring fear in people, made people yearn for it at the same time.
Now, this weak wicked god was an opportunity! They would be fighting a god, and once they had succeeded, they would completely destroy the temple and complete the mission issued by the Glorious Palace.
Perhaps there were some dangers, but now that they had reached this step, they could no longer back out!
“Star Flame!”
Wizard Dara narrowed his eyes, and a look of determination flashed past his face. He had already decided to fight with this wicked god’s apparition that had just gained consciousness.
Pale golden flames burned on Wizard Dara’s body, and at the same time, the disk casting tool above his head shot out a ray of light. The entire temple seemed to be bathed in starlight like a piece of the starry sky.
From this starry sky, streams of starlight descended, making Wizard Dara’s flames more turbulent. The terrifying temperature almost burned even space.
“Whoosh…”
The fire of Star Flame grew more vigorous and spread all over, enveloping the silver light in the sky. Even that huge wicked god’s apparition was faintly shrouded by the flames.
“Sputter sputter.”
Facing the fire of Star Flame, it seemed that even the silver glow the wicked god released was burning. However, the apparition then raised a large hand and lightly pressed down.
“Boom.”
The silver light everywhere disappeared and was replaced by a kind of heavy and invisible pressure. This pressure followed after the apparition’s palm, and the surging fire of Star Flame were instantly extinguished.
“Bang.”
Even Wizard Dara was hit hard. His face paled, and his entire body was viciously slammed on the ground. The defensive spells on his body seemed to have been shattered.
Merlin’s heart shivered. This was the power of a wicked god. The power of a natural deity really should not be underestimated. Their power was extremely magical and completely beyond the scope of spells. Even Merlin was unable to understand.
However, at this time, Merlin could not be indifferent. When he saw Wizard Dara being defeated by the apparition, his expression became dignified, and he took a deep breath and raised his palm.
The blood-red demonic-looking eye on his palm once again flashed with traces of blood-red light. It was accompanied by a huge ghostly face that rose and confronted with the wicked god’s apparition in the air!
