Chapter 141 The Two-Faced Saint is a Big Shot (27)
The God of Darkness looked down at the next person, and immediately, that person experienced waves of tearing pain.
The pain gradually intensified, quickly exceeding the believer's tolerance. His face was contorted with unbearable agony, and he managed to utter weak, broken words: "Kill...kill me..."
However, the God of Darkness merely looked at him indifferently, showing no intention of giving him a quick death.
Suddenly, the God of Darkness paused, then turned to look into the distance, seemingly waiting for someone to arrive. Because of his shift in attention, the cultist, who had been suffering excruciating pain, felt the pressure lessen and collapsed to the ground, breathing weakly.
----
When the group arrived, they found Lord standing there, quietly watching them.
As they saw them approaching, hope surged in the hearts of the trapped papal members: "His Majesty has come to save us!"
Shi Qi immediately spotted the remaining dozen or so cult members. Then, looking at Lord standing there, Shi Qi subconsciously slowed his pace. Lord gave him a dangerous feeling.
Sure enough, Baldr said, "Don't go near him, his body has been possessed by the Dark God."
Upon hearing Badr's words, Shi Qi and Fran stopped in their tracks. Seeing the two stop, Frederick also raised his hand, stopping the others from advancing.
Seeing that they had stopped halfway, the Dark God smiled and looked at a certain spot in the void: "Baldr, you're already in front of me, are you still going to hide in the shadows?"
“Baldur?…” Frederick murmured upon hearing His words, then exclaimed in astonishment, “Is it the God of Light?”
The others also realized what was happening, their faces filled with disbelief. Although no one had ever seen the God of Light, his name was known to everyone.
Since the God of Darkness had spoken, Baldr could no longer remain hidden in the shadows. The next moment, a flash of light illuminated the gloomy and deathly place for a brief moment, and then Baldr's figure appeared.
“Erebus…” Baldr looked at the Dark God and called out His name with a hostile expression.
Upon seeing Baldr's revealed form, everyone except Frederick, who remained relatively composed, was stunned. They never imagined they would see the God of Light in their lifetime, especially since it was rumored that only the Pope could communicate with him. But... why did this God of Light look so much like the Holy Son?
Erebus was not displeased by Baldr's attitude; on the contrary, his smile grew even brighter. His gaze remained fixed on Baldr, seemingly ignoring everyone else: "Long time no see, brother. It's been almost seven hundred years since you killed me, hasn't it? I've missed you terribly all these years!"
Badr stared intently at Erebus for a long time before finally saying, "Erebus, you shouldn't have come back."
Hearing this, Erebus shrugged and said helplessly, "It's not like I wanted to be reborn, but don't you and I both know the darkness in people's hearts? It was their filthy hearts that caused my rebirth... But since I'm already here, I have to do something befitting my status, don't you think?"
Seeing that Shi Qi and Fran showed no surprise at all, Frederick knew that the two must know some inside information, so he asked Shi Qi in a low voice, "Your Majesty, is the person confronting the God of Light the God of Darkness?"
Shi Qi frowned slightly and looked at Frederick to his right rear: "How do you know?" It's no wonder Shi Qi was skeptical, because the God of Darkness was killed more than six hundred years ago, and now very few people should have heard of His name.
Seeing that this was tantamount to an admission, Frederick did not hide anything and honestly said, "I once saw the name Erebus in a book by chance. I thought it was just a myth. I didn't expect that it actually exists."
When he heard Frederick speak to Shi Qi, Fran glanced at him, his gaze anything but friendly.
Noticing his gaze, Frederick looked back openly and returned a friendly smile. Then, he looked away and gazed thoughtfully at Badr's retreating figure.
Baldr disagreed with Erebus's words. After all, due to the influence of the dark power, this guy's mind had long been completely warped, not to mention that he was now reborn, so his resentment was bound to be immense.
Upon hearing His words, Badr didn't utter a single wasted word. He immediately conjured a pure silver sword and attacked Erebus.
Erebus reacted swiftly, dodging His attack by sidestepping, and then conjured a handy scimitar to meet Baldr's follow-up attack.
Seeing the two gods fighting, Shi Qi immediately ordered his men to try and rescue the trapped believers in the chaos. Just as they were about to reach the believers, they were blocked by an invisible barrier.
Shi Qi felt around on the barrier with his hands and immediately realized that this was a method Erebus used to trap people. He called Fran over: "Try to open it with the power of light."
Fran nodded, stepped forward, and placed his hand on the barrier, then channeled his light power. Perhaps because Erebus's strength hadn't fully recovered when he set up the barrier, Fran quickly broke through it.
The knights stepped forward to help the believers up, and then, following Shi Qi's instructions, prepared to retreat.
Seeing that they wanted to leave, Erebus, who was fighting Baldr, first looked at Baldr and said, "Your clone is not bad..." Then he turned his gaze to Shi Qi and said, "I have no intention of letting you leave..." As soon as he finished speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot and reappeared in front of the crowd the next moment.
Erebus stood in front of the crowd, raised his hand, and made a downward pressing gesture. Then everyone felt a tremendous pressure, causing their bodies to fall uncontrollably downwards.
Seeing Erebus turn his attention to Shiqi, Baldr immediately followed, using his own power of light to shield everyone from Erebus's oppressive aura.
Badr said to the people behind him, "Get out of here! Leave this to me."
Upon hearing Badr's plan, Shi Qi did not hesitate and intended to lead everyone away. Erebus, of course, could not simply watch them leave, so he flashed forward and was about to attack Shi Qi.
Seeing His intention, Badr quickly stepped between them and blocked the attack with his sword.
“You really care about this person…” Erebus murmured. Although Badr never looked back at Shi Qi, Erebus could sense that He treated this human differently.
This test actually revealed his true intentions: "Brother... I'd like to see if you can protect him..."
