It occupied an area above the Endless Oceans and was actually multiple times the size of Heaven’s Vault Continent in surface area. Additionally, it was densely populated and boasted an astonishingly high population that far exceeded that of Heaven’s Vault Continent!
“I knew the Heaven’s Vault Continent existential plane wasn’t that simple! With such a vast ocean on the existential plane, how can Heaven’s Vault Continent be the only continent on it?”
Astounded, Meng Lei swiftly began to check out information about the continent. After a series of checks, Meng Lei discovered to his astonishment that there were actually humans, Fairies, Dragons, Titans, Beast People, and even races such as Dwarves and Demi-Beast People on the continent! Every race that should be there was there!
However, there was something completely out of his expectations—the ones ruling over the continent weren’t Dragons or Titans. Neither was it the Fairies or the Beast People.
Rather, it was the humans!
Humans occupied the vastest and most fertile territories on the continent, whereas the Beast People, Dragons, Fairies, Titans, and other races were scattered in the continent’s peripheral regions.
“The humans on this continent certainly live up to expectations!”
Meng Lei marveled inwardly and continued to scan the continent.
Suddenly, a familiar aura appeared in his line of sight.
“That’s... Ol’ President!!”
Chapter 284: Angel’s Blade, The Light Church
“Ol’ President, I’ve finally found you!”
Meng Lei was incredibly agitated. Shrouded by Power of Existential Plane, he instantly vanished from where he was.
By the time he next appeared, he was already in the sky above a huge, lofty mountain on the new continent.
The mountain was tall, lofty, and magnificent. Various exotic buildings stood on the mountain, and almost a thousand of them linked together to form a dignified and stately building complex.
People filled up a square in the building complex. They wore unusual clothes and were incredibly nervous as they watched a figure suspended in the sky.
“I’m cheering for you, President Amos!”
“Mr. President, show those quacks from the Light Church the power of the Kroc Academy!”
Five figures were suspended in the air at the moment. Every one of them gave off an incredibly powerful aura—evidently, all of them had reached Heaven’s Vault Continent’s definition of the half-deity realm.
There were four people on one side. All of them were dressed in red bishop’s cloaks and wore specially-made miters on their heads. They wore golden gloves and held pastoral staffs in their hands. Pinned on their chests were metal badges printed with an angel’s image.
They were the Light Church’s Red-Cloaked Archbishops!
On the other hand, only a single person stood on the other side. He had a head of red hair, wore white robes, and looked kindly and amicable.
Had Meng Lei been here, he’d definitely be able to recognize him. That man was exactly the Ol’ President whom he had been painstakingly looking for—Amos Kroc!
“Archbishop Chicas,” Ol’ Amos glared furiously at the four men standing opposite him and said, “The Kroc Academy has always minded their own business and has never interfered with the Light Church’s matters. Why are you attacking us?”
“Not quite, President Kroc.”
Archbishop Chicas adopted an attitude that displayed great compassion and sadness for mankind as he said, “The gods have mercy on the people! Our Lord has taken pity on the hardships and suffering of the Kroc Kingdom’s people. We are following our Lord’s decree and wish to bathe the Kroc Kingdom’s people in the light of our Lord. Why do you stand in our way, President Amos?”
“Don’t give me that crap!”
Ol’ Amos said coldly, “You just want to spread the Goddess of Light’s faith in the Kroc Kingdom, don’t you? Don’t even think about it! The Kroc Kingdom has unremitting self-reliance. We don’t need any deity to worship!”
“President Kroc, you cannot speak on the Kroc Kingdom’s billions of citizens’ behalf. They have the freedom and right to choose their own faith. You have no right to decide on their behalves,” Archbishop Chicas sported a merciful expression on his face as he said, “Much less obstruct them from joining the Light Church.”
“Such hypocrisy and pretentiousness!” Ol’ Amos snorted. “Let’s battle if that’s what you want! I’m ready anytime!”
“Since President Kroc insists on being unrepentant, then don’t hold it against us if we don’t show you any civility!”
Archbishop Chicas sighed and said, “O supreme Lord, your children are going to sin again. I beg for your forgiveness and clemency!”
After saying a prayer, all of Archbishop Chicas’ previous compassionate and sorrowful demeanor vanished, and he became incredibly cold and detached. He said, “Get into the Angel Battle Formation and take him out quickly!”
“Kill!”
The other three Red-Cloaked Archbishops let out a fierce shout. Then, holy light-elemental power of divinity formed around them and rose into the air, taking the shape of three holy angel holograms.
For a moment, four terrifying auras swept outward and went crashing down onto Ol’ Amos from all around.
Boom!
The dimension around Ol’ Amos was instantly locked down. Ol’ Amos felt an overwhelming pressure weighing down on him, rendering him almost immobile.
“Thinking of suppressing me with a mere Angel Battle Formation? Open up!”
A divine nation hologram suddenly manifested above Ol’ Amos as he roared. Strong, torrential Power of Divine Nation surged forth from the hologram and resisted the Angel Battle Formation.
“A divine nation! You’ve actually already established a divine nation! The pope was right—you are indeed the most secretive and low-profile half-deity on the whole continent!”
The four Red-Cloaked Archbishops were filled with shock and fury as they gazed at the divine nation hologram in the sky.
The three steps to deification for a half-deity were as follows: Light up the divine fire, manifest a divine core, establish a divine nation.
Each completed step brought tremendous changes to a half-deity’s strength.
