“Oh no!”
How could the Red-Cloaked Archbishops not feel the murderous intent in Meng Lei’s words? They ran immediately!
They were facing someone who could catch Angel’s Blade barehanded and kill Kurt in an instant. They could not even muster up the courage to resist Meng Lei.
Ran!
They ran at once!
They ran as far as they could, the further, the better!
“Flee? Do you think you can really flee?”
“Immobilize!” Meng Lei commanded.
Buzz...
A huge force came down in an instant. Archbishop Chicas and the rest were frozen on the spot as if their acupoints had been sealed.
“Death!” Meng Lei shot another word.
Crack!
Archbishop Chicas and two others exploded into a bloody mist, which dissipated along with the wind—they were smashed into tiny pieces, not even a single bone was left.
“Dead? Four Red-Cloaked Archbishops... dead just like that? Gosh, how was that possible?”
Great waves of shock and astonishment churned in Ol’ Amos’s heart. Ηe had never imagined that Meng Lei would surprise him in such a manner.
Killing four pinnacle-level half-deities, what level of terrifying strength was this?
If Ol’ Amos was shocked, then the innumerable students and teachers were petrified.
Those were the Red-Cloaked Archbishops of the Light Church who were second only to the Pope and the Holy Maiden!
Did they die just like that?
The teachers and students were terrified!
The Light Church was the Light Goddess’ messenger on the Light Continent, the entire continent’s highest authority. The Red-Cloaked Archbishops were some of the most influential beings.
Yet just now, they witnessed them being killed by an unknown young man.
Shock!
Horrified!
Disbelief!
Unbelievable!
“Just who is that young man!”
“How does he possess such power?”
“Mr. President seemed to know him? Perhaps he’s a friend of Mr. President...”
Meng Lei went back before Ol’ Amos as if he was finished with trivial matters. “Ol’ Amos, it’s been a few years since we’ve met. How have you been?”
“Well, I’m... I’m doing fine!”
Ol’ Amos spoke as if it was his first time knowing Meng Lei. “Possessing such formidable power, it seems you’ve been through a lot in these three years!”
“Not too bad, I guess.” Meng Lei smiled. “Ol’ Amos, I’m eager to find out how you came to this continent and what you have experienced over here.”
“Well, it’s a long story.” Ol’ Amos sighed. “Let’s move to my office.”
“Alright!”
Ol’ Amos’s office was in a garret of antique flavors, and the surroundings were elegant, with rockeries and waterfalls, water flowing under a little bridge—life was pleasant over here.
“Come, have some tea.”
Ol’ Amos poured two cups of tea and lay on the beach chair. He sighed. “Well, speaking about coming to the Light Continent, it’s a long story.”
“You can take your time Ol’ Amos.”
Meng Lei smiled. He was jovial to be able to meet Ol’ Amos again, and he wanted to know anything about Ol’ Amos.
“In the year when I became a half-deity, like many other half-deities, I chose to split my divine spirit. But I did not split evenly, as it was a ratio of 3:7. Hence one was at a half-deity’s level while the other was at Saint Domain’s level.”
Ol’ Amos sighed again. “You should know that Heaven’s Vault Continent was split amongst the four true gods right down to the very last bit. Thus, half-deities like me had no place in it.”
Meng Lei nodded in agreement. Many half-deities on Heaven’s Vault Continent had faced the same awkward situation before him—they had no source of faith!
“And so, my Saint Domain divine incarnation stayed at Heaven’s Vault Continent, while the half-deity divine incarnation left Heaven’s Vault Continent and entered the Endless Oceans.”
Ol’ Amos laughed. “I hoped to find a decent island on the Endless Oceans to spread faith and gather power of faith.”
“What happened after that?” Meng Lei asked.
“The Endless Oceans was massive with countless islands, but there were only a few proper ones. Those that were decent were already owned.” Ol’ Amos shook his head as he said, “I had no choice but to carry on traveling around, which became 5,000 years. At last, I somehow arrived here.”
At this point, Ol’ Amos could not help but give a wry smile. “At first, I was excited as I thought that heaven rewards the faithful, and I’ve struck the jackpot here.
“But the truth was not how I expected it to be.
“This continent was numerous times the size of Heaven’s Vault Continent. Plus, be it the population, amount of experts, or level of civilization, they were all far superior to our Heaven’s Vault Continent.
“These were still secondary. The key was that this continent belonged to masters with powerful backgrounds!”
Ol’ Amos shook his head again and sighed. “This continent is being ruled by two religious organizations known as the Light Church and the Dark Church.
“Upon learning these, I was very disappointed. I had come so far out here, yet the results were the same. I wasn’t ready to accept this!
“But I was tired, tired of traveling again. Hence, I decided to live in seclusion in the Light Continent.
“And as the Light Church was busy defeating the Dark Church, I founded the Kroc Kingdom!
“A few years ago, the Light Church finally destroyed the Dark Church completely and united the continent. As such, they finally had time to deal with my Kroc Kingdom!”
Ol’ Amos ground his teeth as he continued. “The Light Church is very powerful, far stronger than any empires or races on Heaven’s Vault Continent!
“Plus, they have the backing of the Angel Gods from the Celestial Realm. How could my Kroc Kingdom possibly be of their match?
“If it wasn’t for you, I would be dead for sure! So I must thank you!”
