Chapter 1866 -583: Is the Lord of Red Moon a Faithful God?
But that trace of envy was fleeting, turning into gratitude for having reached this point, as well as jealousy towards this High-tier Extraordinary.
Clearly, he had talent, yet he didn’t plan to use it well at all.
And now, he, someone who strives hard yet lacks talent, has finally climbed to the same level!
The hooded believer even felt a trace of anticipation in his heart.
“According to the plan, the insect swarm should be taking action soon… It’s coming!”
He looked up at the sky, suddenly shouted in a low voice.
The insect swarm, starting from space, still needed to break through the defensive fleet, and couldn’t be seen for the time being.
And just over ten seconds later, warning alarms blared across every city on the planet, causing the insect swarm to erupt from their hiding spots in the corners of cities, launching attacks on the nearby defense forces immediately.
The insect swarm slicing through the air ignited screams from the crowd, and after the first explosion, the city inevitably fell into chaos.
The High-tier Extraordinary within the manor also received the warning.
“It’s an insect swarm attack. Something’s off. You should stay in the manor. I’ll go out and take a look.”
The High-tier Extraordinary used a Detection Spell to perceive the surroundings, a trace of unease flashing in his eyes, and left a message to his family before casting a Spell to fly out of the manor.
It’s coming!
The hooded believer saw the figure of the High-tier Extraordinary, crushed the potion he had prepared long beforehand, and splashed it onto his hand before grabbing at the sky. A Spell cage precisely captured the High-tier Extraordinary inside.
“What?!”
The High-tier Extraordinary sensed the tier of this cage and was suddenly shocked, only to see a crimson figure emerge from below, coming before him.
“Sorry, but you need to stay here.”
“High-tier? Believer?”
The High-tier Extraordinary’s face turned stern as he waved his hand to cast an Attack Spell to break through the cage, recognizing the person’s identity before him.
“I sincerely apologize. With your strength, joining the battlefield would cause too much change. We truly can’t allow you to interfere in the insect swarm battlefield.
If you’re really determined to act, then I’ll have no choice but to accompany you.”
The hooded believer warned once again.
“Oh? Knowing I’d greatly affect the battlefield, you still dare to stop me?”
Seeing the believer showing no sign of retreat, the High-tier Extraordinary chuckled lightly, his body surging with Magic Power.
“If that’s the case, then allow me to reintroduce myself, High-level Mage, nickname—
‘Shadow Weaver’!”
As his voice fell, the High-tier Extraordinary’s body erupted with Magic Power, with twisting light, launching an attack first.
Battle erupted instantly!
……
Gemini Empire’s Mother Star, Gemini Tower
“Your Majesty, emergency situation!
Just an hour ago, during an insect swarm attack, a hidden high-tier came out to resist the swarm.
But suddenly, an unknown high-tier believer appeared within the swarm and killed that hidden high-tier!”
“High-tier believer? From those church believers?”
The Emperor looked at his anxious subordinate in surprise.
Though a high-tier believer killing a High-tier Extraordinary might seem provocative, the deceased wasn’t one of our own — rather one of those unstable elements hidden in the starry sky, which in a way is a good thing.
At least, it shouldn’t warrant such a reaction.
“No, the problem lies here. The battle had numerous witnesses and records from multiple angles.
The Divine Arts used by that believer on the battlefield weren’t recognized by anyone on our tactical team! All the Divine Arts!
This is an unknown believer we don’t know about!”
As he spoke, this subordinate opened a tablet with a video recording, turning it to present to the Emperor.
Even though he watched only briefly, the Emperor saw that unknown believer transform into some kind of bat creature, turning into energy to evade attacks, then crushing a potion to cast some peculiar spell…
The Emperor could sense the effect of each Extraordinary ability, but without exception, these weren’t existing Divine Arts…
The Emperor frowned and enlarged a certain frame in the video.
“Wait a moment, this believer’s clothing seems to have a peculiar insignia? Is it some sort of circular shape?”
“Indeed, this is the emblem of the church where the believer belongs, a Red Moon entwined with some kind of plant.
The church bearing this emblem is called the Red Moon Church, a not very famous and scarcely known church in the starry sky.
The intelligence we have is actually obtained from the Faith Hunter’s side; they had encountered this church before.
But since they were very sensible, they retreated after demonstrating their strength, and so were regarded as a neutral believer organization faithful to Longevity.
You know, the neutral believer organizations of Longevity have always been harmless, and even often make charitable acts. We generally wouldn’t take action against them to avoid pushing too much.
So it’s the same this time.”
Gods truly exist; even if all church organizations are annihilated, new ones will eventually arise.
The optimal way to disband a force is through division.
Eradicating all harmless organizations would only lead to future believers opposing the Three Great Civilizations.
Therefore, it’s better to leave some beneficial believers, saving effort and gaining some advantage in return.
“But clearly, this time we miscalculated.
This operation is likely instigated by the Red Moon Church.”
“Red Moon Church? Do we have specific intelligence? Which church’s faith do they belong to?”
The Emperor searched his memory for that name but found it unfamiliar.
Even if encountered, it must have been in some unremarkable corner of unremarkable reports.
“Not certain, but according to our intelligence department’s investigation, it doesn’t seem to belong to any known church, at least it appears it doesn’t.
