I've Become the King of Villains in the Game
Chapter 879 - 563 Chaos

The bright, round morning sun slowly rose from the city’s horizon.

"One more day."

Louisa looked up, silently thinking to herself.

She shifted her gaze to the girl beside her.

Her brother’s new form had grown into a beautiful, graceful figure, and even the attire on the body was completely refreshed.

The golden hair danced with the luxurious crimson dress in the wind. The facial features of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old were extremely delicate, with a body full of graceful beauty, but the indifferent expression remained unchanged.

"By the early hours of tomorrow, Brother will fully regain his power."

Lutina’s heart was like the rising sun, filled with joyous and bright emotions.

What followed was a long-suppressed rage.

"The Tresor Empire, the Naturalist Sect, and the Generous Council who stepped on our church to gain power... This debt will be settled sooner or later!"

"Louisa."

At this moment, the girl Dolomi spoke without turning her head.

The Red Apple Church’s Pope looked serious and quickly responded:

"What is it, Brother?"

Dolomi’s smooth, white chin slightly lifted. Her small face looked holy in the morning sun, but her indifferent gaze looked far into the distance and calmly said:

"The people from the Solar Monastery have arrived. Don’t let them get close."

Louisa’s eyes narrowed, then she said in a deep voice:

"Yes."

She immediately turned around, her large, dark-red papal robe fluttering like a blooming rose.

Outside the city.

A layer of faint red mist that ordinary people couldn’t see enveloped the entire city... This was a ritual array created by the [S-level Mysterious Object - Rose Bible].

Besides shielding perception and mysterious interference, it also amplified Dolomi’s Strength.

Moreover, it allowed one-way entry only.

Sunset City had been cut off from the outside world for two days. Even the most foolish could sense something was wrong, but except the official Empire and the Seven Gods Church, no one dared to approach easily.

After all, anyone bold enough to act so openly against an entire city of the Empire was either a madman or someone with immense confidence... Neither of which anyone wanted to provoke.

Along with the red mist around Sunset City, some clever people had already guessed part of the truth.

As a result, this place had become a forbidden area.

The main road paved with cobblestones was covered with ice crystals, and most of the vegetation on both sides were withered trees, yet secretly, more than one pair of eyes were watching.

Even the shallow and deep layers of the Spirit World were full of killing intent.

Buzz!!

A blinding golden beam descended from the sky.

Like the angry gaze of the morning sun.

As the intense light gradually dissipated, the ice crystals on the ground evaporated, revealing a group of white-robed figures.

Leading them were five Archbishops from the Solar Monastery, crowned with diadems. One bearded old man looked at the towering red mist wall and said in a deep voice:

"Terence, the situation doesn’t look good."

"Before we departed, Pope Difuni warned us. Louisa’s ostentation is likely because of that Angel of the Red Apple Church... If Dolomi Purness has been resurrected, his power will be restored soon. If it weren’t for the information from those Undead Foreigners, we might have been too late to prevent it."

Another bald, fair-skinned man added.

Terence stared at the city shrouded in red mist, remaining silent.

He could now be almost certain that the mastermind behind all this was that Flesh Angel. The multiple plans and goals they had prior to this journey might all need to be abandoned, with only one remaining...

Stop the ritual!

Whether or not they could save Sunset City was secondary. Even if the entire city had to be sacrificed, Dolomi Purness’s completion of the ritual had to be stopped!

The Empire could not allow a great enemy to return...

But the situation at hand was quite tricky. The Red Apple Church and the Rose Royal Family would not sit idly by.

"Be cautious of the peering eyes in the shadows. Let’s head into the city," Terence said with a frosty breath and a deep voice.

The four Archbishops of the Solar Monastery solemnly nodded. In fact, they had long sensed the delicate atmosphere. The unique intuition of high-rankers allowed them to keenly perceive the danger and killing intent here.

The bald Archbishop made a hand signal. Behind them, seven Lamp Protector Squads, consisting of eighty-three elite Transcendents, silently raised their guards and followed cautiously.

However, at this moment.

A group of figures gradually emerged from the red mist.

Their blood-red church robes swayed gently in the wind, flapping with the surrounding thin mist, as if they were missionaries from Hell.

"Terence, Haimer, Jefferson, Bernhard, Gregarious... The Sun Church sent five Archbishops just to save a remote city. Isn’t that a bit too grand?"

Louisa’s prominent red lips parted slightly, smiling as she spoke.

She held a Bone Scepter with seven facets, with thick blood boiling in its fourteen eyes.

Terence and the others stopped, their expressions grim.

"Louisa, you are underestimating the Empire... The Red Apple Church’s defeat wasn’t long ago, and you dare to provoke again," said Terence icily.

He glanced at the four Sequence Three members behind Louisa, feeling even more pressured. Though their party also had five high-rankers, all were only Sequence Four Saints.

Yet Louisa, the Pope, was a Sequence Three Demigod...

Not counting the enemy’s "home-field" advantage, the unknown number of high-rank combatants from the Rose Royal Family hiding in the shadows made their chances of winning slim!

Including Terence, the five Archbishops of the Solar Monastery all had somber expressions. The Seven Gods Church was unreliable, the Royal Family needed the Judiciary to steadfastly guard the inland, and being able to withdraw a few members in such a short time was already the Sun Church’s limit...

Fortunately, Terence and the others knew clearly that this mission wasn’t necessarily about defeating the enemy; as long as they could disrupt the ritual in the city and prevent Dolomi Purness from reclaiming power, it would be a great victory.

To achieve this, they had to rely on the Church Level Mysterious Object brought on this trip, the [Ram Hammer]!

This was also what gave Terence confidence!

"Stop wasting words, Louisa, I know you’re deliberately stalling for time."

Terence lowered his eyelids.

As he spoke, blinding white light blossomed in his hand, like a miniature sun, gradually revealing a short-arm Ram Hammer.

Its entire body gleamed, radiating the golden light of the scorching sun. The two ram horns were finely detailed, symmetrical and curved, with the hammer head constantly burning with an unquenchable white flame.

"Refine!!"

Terence’s eyes widened in fury as he shouted.

He hoisted the forging hammer, revealing muscular arms under his white robes, and swung it towards the red mist wall from afar.

Louisa naturally recognized that Sun Church’s Church Level Mysterious Object, and her face changed. She quickly shouted:

"Stop him!"

Immediately, she raised the Bone Scepter in her hand.

Blood flowed from the eyes of the seven-faced skull, and dark red filth quickly seeped from the ground in front of her, rising skyward to form a large "curtain" that enveloped Terence and his group.

Behind Louisa, four members of the Ten Cores team acted almost simultaneously. The high-ranking powers they had devoured from other paths poured out.

Black light that annihilates souls, starlight that misguides judgments, historical time that backtracks, and dazzling white light constituted of mysterious magic...

The surrounding vision shattered, a vivid blue descended, and the battlefield was suddenly drawn into the Spirit World... This wasn’t the Red Apple Church showing kindness to avoid damaging the real world, but rather to prevent the aftermath of the upcoming battle from affecting Sunset City’s ritual.

However, the forging hammer in Terence’s hand seemed to strike an invisible object, emitting a loud and crisp roar.

Dong—

The blinding white light suddenly exploded.

The scenes of the Spirit World seemed like a thin sheet of iron, dented by the hammer, and immediately ruptured and dissipated. The surroundings returned to the real world.

The golden sparks emanating from the forging hammer touched the Mythical Might unleashed by Louisa and the others, and like scorching molten iron, instantly enveloped and transformed everything—whether filthy blood or brilliant colors—into the endless sunlight, crashing against the red mist wall!

Rumble—

A gigantic hole several kilometers in diameter was blasted open in the red mist surrounding Sunset City.

It was as if light had pierced through the filthy darkness.

A wide and hot beam of light straightly traversed the city clusters in the mist... Two blocks, hundreds of buildings turned to dust and scattered in an instant, including the local residents still endlessly coupling inside, and countless animals within its scope.

Only scorched earth remained.

Billowing blue smoke permeated the air.

All traces of life were wiped clean in an instant.

The faces of the four Archbishops from the Solar Monastery instantly lit up with joy.

"Your conspiracy will not succeed, and you will ultimately face the judgment of the scorching sun!"

Terence said, raising the forging hammer once more.

Louisa and the others looked grim, turning to glance at the pierced red mist wall. Although it was slowly closing up, the ritual was indeed affected...

"Damn it!"

Louisa cursed.

She would rather see everyone here die in battle than witness her brother’s ritual being ruined.

"Falkrau! Aren’t your Rambling Knights going to act yet?!"

Louisa shouted.

Terence’s gaze was fierce, his movements paused.

The Rambling Knights, the elite force of the Rose Royal Family, akin to the Imperial Judgement Group, with Knight Commander Falkrau as the Sequence Three Demigod, and the seven Petal Knights all high-ranking Saints, formed the powerful pillar of the Beelzebub Kingdom.

Terence had anticipated that the Rose Royal Family might send people to collaborate with the Red Apple Church, but he hadn’t expected Falkrau himself to lead the team!

"Damn it..."

Everyone from the Sun Church silently cursed.

But the scene was silent for several breaths.

Terence and the others exchanged unspoken glances, sensing their comrades’ doubts... Could this be another bluff from that crazy woman Louisa, to buy more time?

But Louisa’s eyes flashed with anger.

In her heart, she cursed Falkrau and the several Petal Knights accompanying him thoroughly. She and her brother had placed their trust, only for these Royal Family members to fail at such a critical moment...

But none of those present knew.

Knight Commander Falkrau was suffering far more than they were.

At another battlefield, in the deep layers of the Spirit World.

In the dim and dark vision, thick and twisted mist billowed around. Wearing a knight’s armor adorned with rose patterns, Falkrau sat on a skeletal horse, gazing solemnly ahead.

Behind him, three high-ranking Petal Knights, along with dozens of elite knights from the Rambling Knights, all stood still, not daring to move recklessly.

Because through the mist, at the distant end, a towering tree was faintly visible...

On its canopy, a white-clad Naturalist Saintess held the Church Level Mysterious Object [Lake Fairy’s Bottle], while three High Priests each rode a ten-meter-tall beast, watching intently.

Dense with Holy Tree female guardians, armed with exquisite longbows, squat or stand on the branches, seductive and lethal.

Falkrau knew clearly that if he struck first, the Naturalist Sect would launch a swift and fierce attack... At that point, not only would he be unable to help Louisa and the others, but he would also be in a difficult battle.

"Why is the Naturalist Sect also involved..."

Falkrau grumbled to himself.
