When Louis Wildenstein was surprised by the new twenty-five-level magic, in northern America, on the outskirts of Toronto on Lake Ontario, someone was already preparing to use this magic for actual combat.
Zoe Wharton, the 'Chosen Knight' of the Church of Destiny, was standing at the door of 'Red Manor', sensing the information about the 'Great Wishing Technique' in her heart with great interest.
"As long as the elements are sufficient, can almost any wish be realized? This magical skill of our Lord has made me look forward to it——"
Zoe Wharton is currently one of the forty-eight divinely chosen knights of the 'Knights of Divine Wings', but in addition to this identity, he is also a semi-holy knight of the Church of Destiny.
So when this magical spell was generated in the divine spell system of the Church of Destiny, Zoe Wharton noticed it immediately.
This is a divine spell with an exaggerated level and extremely demanding conditions, but as a semi-holy knight, Zoe Wharton knows that she has the ability to use it with conditions.
And just by sensing its structure, he could realize the power of this magical technique.
That may be related to the church's 'luck spell', 'bad luck spell', 'light speed movement', 'time acceleration', 'infinite vitality', 'youth bestowal', 'banishment spell', 'resurrection spell' and 'great resurrection spell'
'These nine great magics are equal to, or even more powerful than, the miracles above them!
Zoe Wharton couldn't help but eagerly look at the fortress-like manor building in front of her. In addition to fighting spirit, enthusiasm, and impatience, there was also strong disgust in her eyes.
"It's time, right? What kind of reply is there?"
"There are still thirteen minutes until the ultimatum."
The person who answered was the deputy commander of the attack, a Cardinal named Vicari.
This is a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses and a gentle manner. But it must be mentioned that his profession is not a priest, but a war priest. Among priests, he is more inclined to war and even focused on war.
Occupation in war.
"The great wish-making spell given by the Lord, are you going to take this opportunity to try its effect?"
"I have this idea. I want to see how magical it is. Vikari, don't say you don't want to see it?"
As Zoe Wharton spoke, she punched the big sword in her hand on the ground: "Thirteen minutes, then I'm ready to start, Vicari!"
As soon as he said these words, a pure and powerful divine power and countless mysterious runes appeared at his feet.
The cardinal named Vicari next to him raised his eyebrows slightly and fixed his gaze on Zoe Wharton. He sensed that the guy next to him had made another breakthrough in strength after meeting again after three months.
sexual progress.
Is this realm not far away from the true throne of God? It may not be long before he has to call this 'Your Highness'.
The cardinal sighed secretly and was extremely grateful for his decision back then.
But there was no envy or jealousy, because he knew that the situation of Knight Wharton was something he could not envy.
This semi-holy knight was originally a legendary magic hunter who lived on the west coast of America and worked for a security contracting company. To put it bluntly, he was a so-called mercenary.
However, a few years ago, after the global disaster caused by the "World of Beasts", Zoe Wharton made a decision that surprised all his friends. He joined the Church of Destiny and became the master of destiny.
A member of the Knights Templar.
At that time, it was Vicari who introduced Zoe Wharton.
When everyone doubted the reliability of Zoe Wharton and the entire church was in turmoil due to the endless incidents of moles, Vicari, who was the bishop of the church at the time, defied all opinions and personally came forward to defend Zoe Wharton.
Guaranteed referral.
And this has become what Bishop Vicari is most proud of now. The latter has lived up to his expectations. In just four years, he has become one of only nine semi-divine Templar Knights in the church!
Such an achievement is surprising. After all, the Knight of Wharton became a monk halfway. The profession of magic hunter has nothing to do with the Paladin.
But in the past four years, this paladin's professional level has inflated like a balloon, and he has reached the demigod level in less than two years.
Many people thought that this person was probably lucky enough to be favored by the Lord of Destiny. But Bishop Vicari knew that although Zoe Wharton did get some attention from the Lord, the reason why this person was
Being able to grow to this point in a very short period of time is mostly due to 'fit'.
Zoe Wharton's identification with the 'Scripture of Destiny' is unparalleled, and she has a piety that surpasses all fanatic believers, and she has always followed the rules set by the master of destiny.
And this is the biggest reason why Knight Zoe Wharton was able to become a demigod-level Templar Knight in a very short time! The Lord's divine power is incomparable with him.
But for some reason, Knight Zoe Wharton has an incomprehensible persistence and hatred for the Church of Liberty. Bishop Vicari speculated that this may be related to his mercenary experience, but Zoe Wharton has always been aware of this.
Bishop Vicari has always been puzzled by the secrecy, but he doesn't care about it.
He believed that the church's intelligence department had already clearly investigated Knight Wharton's past experience.
"Ten minutes left, Knight Volton!"
"It doesn't matter, the preparation of this magical skill will take some time."
Zoe Wharton answered nonchalantly, while continuing to expand the rune array under her feet.
Since she has never performed it before or done any related exercises, Zoe Wharton's process of performing the technique is relatively unfamiliar. However, the magic itself takes one minute. In addition, there are
Consider the possibility of magical failure due to unfamiliarity.
At this time, a sarcastic smile appeared on the Templar's lips: "I can probably guess how the Red family will respond. They must still have unrealistic hopes, thinking that they can keep their
The legacy of the family. But the current situation is no longer what it was a few years ago. The evil of the goddess of strife must be eradicated no matter what."
"Wow! It seems like you want to kill everyone inside?"
"No, I won't do that. Our Lord does not allow meaningless killings, nor does he allow us to point the butcher knife at innocent people. The Red family and the believers of the Statue of Liberty are the ones we must get rid of."
Bishop Vicari thought that these words were high-sounding, but how should they identify them? Then he regretted it and hit his head with his hand with some bitterness.
He knew that it was because he usually had too many thoughts and could not be as pure as Zoe Wharton, and that was why he was unable to rise in the priesthood level.
And just when he was about to say something, a message popped up on the mobile phone held by Vicari. He glanced at it casually, and then sneered.
"You guessed wrong this time, Zoe! Start attacking. There is no need to wait any longer. According to the news from His Highness Reinhardt, the Red family has requested help from the Canadian government."
Zoe Wharton's pupils were slightly dilated, and then she was filled with murderous intent: "I simply don't know whether to live or die! I make a wish to maximize my combat power within 20 minutes!"
At this moment, the hairs on Bishop Vicari’s body stood on end. He sensed that Zoe Wharton’s aura was rising sharply! Behind this person, three pairs of purple-gold wings of divine power even spread out at this moment,
The image is very similar to the 'Lord Angel' under the Lord of Glory——
The next moment, a large area of the exterior wall of Red Manor collapsed.
At this time, Zoe Wharton's figure was already standing on top of it, being bombarded by countless bullet rays around him. However, none of these powerful thermal weapons could cause any damage to the Templar Knight, and he seemed to no longer exist.
in this plane.
The next moment, large swaths of ice began to spread inside the manor.
That is the divine spell 'Silent Winter' - the Lord of Destiny transformed the thirteen forbidden spells he mastered into divine spells and gave them to the church's priests to practice. Although they are not as powerful as the real forbidden spells, they are all powerful.
It is not inferior to the Forbidden Spell. However, it is also difficult to master. It is ten times more difficult than the Great Wish Technique. It is difficult for any priest or war priest to master one of them even if they spend their whole life.
But Zoe Wharton is a paladin who has mastered the pseudo-forbidden spell "Silent Winter" in just one year. The compatibility of his thoughts and beliefs, coupled with his own good
His talent makes him extremely fast no matter what magic he learns.
And this time, Zoe Wharton's 'Silent Winter' was even more powerful. In less than thirty breaths, it had already reduced the temperature within a hundred and twenty kilometers to minus 100 degrees.
.The temperature within the core of the three kilometers is close to absolute zero, and all the people covered in this range are frozen into ice sculptures.
The mythical magic energy protection array inside Red Manor was almost unable to exert any effect under this crushing force.
This is?
Bishop Vicari's scalp couldn't help but feel numb, and then his whole body became extremely excited.
He realized that what Zoe Wharton now masters is the true 'Master Angel' level, that is, the combat power of the high god level. Instead of relying on the accumulation of magic armor and biological reproductive equipment.
This wish-making technique can actually boost Wharton's strength to such an extent!
But it would be a pity if it was simply used in combat.
Bishop Vicari was able to identify the true value of this 'wishing technique' with a second thought. It has many uses, but the one that benefits people the most is probably its effect in assisting spiritual practice.
He sighed secretly, and at the same time he was excited. On the one hand, he was looking forward to the effect of using the 'wishing spell'; on the other hand, he thought that after the details of this magical spell were spread, there would be no one knows how many powerful human beings and forces in this world.
, will move closer to the Lord of Destiny.
In terms of the practicality of the magical system, the Church of Destiny has begun to surpass that glorious master; and in terms of its attraction to strong human beings, it is two to three orders of magnitude higher, especially those mages.
them.
Their Lord didn't seem to mind at all being used as a ladder for those demigods to continue climbing up; He also didn't mind sharing and bestowing favors on mortals.
Bishop Vicari is still a little worried about this. He doesn't know what the considerations are for the gods he believes in?
The large-scale promotion of gods worldwide, especially the mass production of ‘ancient gods’, will only shake the faith of mortals. Apart from strengthening the power of the Church of Destiny to a certain extent, it will not be of any benefit to the gods themselves——
"boom!"
A loud noise interrupted Bishop Vicari's thoughts and made him put away all distracting thoughts. When his consciousness spread, he discovered that Zoe Wharton at this moment was already with a white man with six pairs of wings.
The figures are entangled together.
Bishop Vicari recognized it at a glance. It was a free angel of the rank of 'Sea Angel', with combat power equivalent to that of a mid-level god!
The Free Church was obviously not willing to sit still and wait for death, so it sent reinforcements to Red Manor.
However, Vikali's thoughts did not cause any disturbance because of this. Not long ago, there was no doubt that this was a powerful existence that could make them feel troublesome.
But now, the Wharton Knights have already taken a great advantage in this battle that has just begun.
What's more, their overall combat effectiveness is also extremely strong. There are five squadrons of 'God Wing Knights' concentrated here alone.
"Speed up! Try to resolve the battle within fifteen minutes."
Bishop Vicari gave the order: "Each troop is free to distinguish and eradicate believers of the Statue of Liberty to the greatest extent possible!"
He knew that the order he issued would lead to the death of a large number of people within Red Manor.
However, Knight Wharton is right when he says that things are no longer what they used to be. A few years ago, the Church of Destiny needed to recruit a large number of people from all walks of life, even former enemies, in an attempt to grow its strength as quickly as possible.
But now, if I don't remove all the thorns on this land, how can I free up 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. Behind him, this term's Finance Minister Edie
Oman was filled with indignation.
"There is no doubt that this is an invasion against our country! The Lord of Destiny is treating the sovereignty and security of our country as nothing. How is this a god? It is completely a devil!"
At this time, a young woman dressed as a secretary hurriedly walked in: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, there is news from Red Manor. The church armed forces of the Destiny Church have launched an offensive in advance and have now invaded the manor. They have a high priest.
The power of the rank is directly put into battle."
The many politicians and dignitaries gathered in this office suddenly made an uproar. Then some people continued to remain silent, some were as if they were mourning for their heirs, and some were angry and indignant.
"How dare they?"
"This is ignoring! No! This is trampling on the laws of our country!"
"I suggest massive exposure in the media! We need to let His followers know that their god has abandoned His teachings!"
"You're right! Those pastors of the Church of Destiny have always whitewashed their god as a just god of war and never supported unjust wars. But now, we have an obligation to let people know his true face! We have to tell the world
Reveal the truth!”
Among the crowd, there was an old man in his sixties whose face turned pale.
"Didn't they send two companies of SHIELD troops over? Where are they now?"
"Intercepted, Mr. Reid."
The female secretary looked at the Minister of Defense who was almost slumped on the sofa with pity: "They were blocked by two squadrons of Winged Knights on Route 37. It is said that there were heavy casualties."
She knew that after today, the Red family, which had 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. There was only a trace of a sarcastic smile on the corner of his lips.
The Master of Destiny is indeed far from just, but to say that this war is unjust is undoubtedly absurd.
According to the propaganda of the Church of Destiny, the Statue of Liberty has fallen in the battle against the Lord of Destiny. It is said that five god-kings, including the Goddess of Night, Rhea, the Virgin of Light, and Satan, joined forces and were still defeated by the Lord of Destiny. Not only did they kill
He killed the Statue of Liberty and seriously injured the Holy Mother of Light and other god-kings.
Eward cannot confirm this yet because the information is too unbelievable. After all, the Master of Destiny has only risen for less than ten years. But he believes in the Church of Destiny and will not make decisions that go against the Destiny Canon.
The Lord of Destiny has extremely powerful control over his church, and active and invasive wars against humans are contrary to the divinity of the Lord of Destiny, which will cause great harm to the latter, and will ultimately outweigh the gains.
So in his opinion, the noise in the office behind him was just the howling of a bereaved dog——
At this time, which media would dare to publish such news?
"Your Excellency Prime Minister!"
The person who walked into the office this time was a young man. He hurriedly walked to Edward Warrington's side and handed a portable satellite phone into the latter's hand.
A look of confusion appeared in Edward's eyes, but then he heard the voice of Governor Isadore Champlin through the receiver.
In Canada, the Governor-General appointed by the Queen of England is the nominal head of state and represents the interests of the British royal family. His responsibilities are to convene and dissolve Parliament, sign bills passed by Parliament, nominate candidates for Prime Minister, etc.
However, since the collapse of the British pantheon, Eward has not communicated with the governor for a long time. The British control and influence on this country have dropped to the extreme.
The method of communication this time was also very strange. They did not use the telephone hotline between their offices, but a satellite phone. Aihuad guessed that this person was probably related to the content of the communication, and they did not want to leave any clues about him.
"Yeah?"
"In other words, the Statue of Liberty has indeed suffered a heavy blow. Is it true that the master of destiny is under siege?"
"Yes, I already understand what to do."
"The Lady Targaryen will call me later? Is she one of my Lord's Chosen? It's such an honor and I am extremely grateful!"
About a minute later, Eward Warrington put the satellite phone in his hand on his desk, and then looked at the many cabinet members present with thankful, tough and indifferent eyes.
"Mr. Chief of Staff, please help me convey my order now. All troops are on standby and are not allowed to leave the station. All SHIELD troops will withdraw as soon as possible. Also, inform several national magicians that all previous orders are invalid.
"
These instructions immediately caused a huge uproar in the office, and some people even shouted curses.
"Warrington, what do you want to do? Why do you want to withdraw our troops?"
"Are you even going to betray His Majesty the Goddess? You will definitely go to hell."
"You are betraying the country and the people!"
"You piece of shit! I knew you were a bad person when you ran for office."
Edward Warrington was only grateful that he happened to be sitting in the position of Prime Minister during this period of time, so that he could be used by the great master.
"It's time for you to recognize the reality!"
He continued to look at everyone without any emotion: "We are unable to fight against America, and we are also unable to resist the great master. This is undoubtedly a just war, and the Statue of Liberty is besieging destiny.
Fallen in the process of domination. And everything now is just the counterattack of the Church of Destiny. Following the teachings of the dominion, his believers are unwilling to engage in unjust wars. But when someone brings war to them, they will retaliate in kind.
Blood for blood!”
He noticed that nearly half of the cabinet members in the office had calm faces and even smiled appreciatively at him.
Edward Warrington couldn't help but sigh: "This meeting is over, everyone! Except for the chief of staff and chief of staff, everyone can leave. I will hold a meeting tomorrow to reorganize the cabinet."
Having said this, he hesitated for ten seconds: "Mr. two whips, please submit a bill as soon as possible to ban the legal missionary rights of the Church of Liberty in our country."
"Is it appropriate at this time?"
This is Mike Howard, the Liberal Democratic whip of the Senate: "My personal suggestion is that it is best to consult within the party for a few days and reach a unified consensus before submitting the bill."
"It makes no sense. This will definitely pass, right? One day is enough for us to unify the opinions within the party. You probably don't know that both parties in the American Congress have already proposed relevant bills on this matter. It is estimated that tomorrow morning, the Statue of Liberty will
would be an illegal belief in America."
Edward Warrington shook his head. He knew that the most taboo thing at this time was half-heartedness and vacillation.
Now that he has decided to go backwards, there is no need to leave a way out. The Statue of Liberty is definitely not a magnanimous person. If she still exists, she will never forgive him for the decisions he just made.
What's more, he can now confirm that the Statue of Liberty has indeed fallen, or at least suffered a major blow.
This was not the information revealed by the Governor-General, but the information fed back from all sides, which allowed Edward Warrington to determine that the goddess was completely unable to respond to the attack of the Church of Destiny. Everything she had in the mortal world was
Heritage' is coveted by all forces.
"Also, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, by the way, please move the Statue of Liberty in front of the official residence, and then remove the inscription at the gate as soon as possible. I think that in this era, the master of destiny who represents 'equality',
Better for this country.”
——These are all matters within the scope of Eward Warrington's authority and can be decided directly. He knows that from now on, he must do everything possible to cooperate with the dominant church and eliminate the influence of the Statue of Liberty in this country.
