Chapter 567: 443 Chapter 567: 443 “Damn it!”

The high priest cursed under his breath because the curse had been detonated secretly just now.

Now it was too late to stop it, he could only watch helplessly as the tentacle shot towards the orb of light. Despite the light have some defensive properties, could it…

…withstand something so huge?

Moreover, from that blood-colored spear-like tentacle…

…there emanated an extremely terrifying divine power as well.

“It’s over…”

The high priest felt somewhat desperate.

However, at this moment, the orb suddenly burst forth with a terrifying power and, against all odds, scattered the blood-colored tentacles.

Immediately after, a horrific might erupted as if heaven and earth were collapsing.

Everyone on the battlefield stopped in their tracks under the rolling divine aura.

They all looked incredulously ahead, despair tinging their eyes… Had “God Descent” succeeded?

Had they… still lost after all?

…

“Is this… the ‘Master’s’ arrival? We’re saved!”

In the center of the altar, the high priest mumbled incredulously to himself, feeling the overwhelming pressure and couldn’t help but be ecstatic. All the despair and humiliation endured over so many years seemed to be released at this moment.

Finally, finally… it was a success!

The high priest wept with joy, and along with the surrounding believers, they all knelt towards the Great Will.

In this moment, even if he died, he would be content!

“You have worked hard, let me take over from here, rest well for some time…”

Hearing such caring words from the “Great Will,” the “Dawn Star” high priest lifted his head with tears in his eyes, just about to speak that he was not tired and could still contribute his last strength for the dawn of this world when…

He narrowed his eyes as a flash of orange-red flame passed before him.

“What’s happ…”

Then his consciousness froze in confusion…

The great fire that erupted from within the “Dawn Star” consumed all the unsuspecting higher-ups of the “Dawn Star” in an instant.

One by one, bodies turned to char and fell in the flames.

But before they hit the ground, the charred bodies had turned to ash, scattering on the ground, leaving only some residual characteristics.

Colin casually tossed out the “Smiling Mountain of Corpses” to collect those things on the ground.

…

At a distance, the sudden turn of events left everyone’s minds scrambling—how could the “Dawn Star” have just appeared, only to annihilate their own people?

“Hahaha, look, they’re dead, aren’t they? This is the fate of those who worship a false god!”

“That’s the end of those who believe in heretic beings, nothing surprising!”

Hateful laughter came from the heretic forces.

Clearly, seeing this scene, not an ounce of sympathy arose in their hearts.

“Attack! We must fight! Now that this thing has just arrived, its power is surely not at its fullest, we still have a chance!”

“We can’t let this thing endanger our world!”

“Charge… You! What are you doing…”

A high-ranking heretic was ready to give his all and confront the True God with a willing-to-die stance.

But just as he took his first step, the back of his head, the small of his back, his kidneys, his groin, and other vital areas all suddenly hurt…

A series of blood-formed crystal spikes pierced through from behind him.

Yet even so, he did not die on the spot but instead, with a sudden effort, broke all the sharp spikes, shook off the assailants beside him, and staggered to stand in his original spot, blood spurting out of multiple holes in his body.

However, rather than the pain, it was the sight of the Asian man in a cowboy hat and the people around him that filled his eyes with rage.

He opened his mouth to say something.

But with his throat partially severed, only blood gushed out from his mouth.

At this moment, he suddenly realized everything…

It was indeed a trap.

Despicable government officials!

“Heh, when did you start to delude yourself that we were in this together?”

The man with the cowboy hat flashed a polite smile, his pupils a deep crimson, “Haven’t you noticed? Charging up here… you’re the only one left alive.”

“Although I was somewhat moved by your determination to rush forward and stop the Descent, I must apologize… I am a policeman.”

As he spoke, he lifted his hand and with a “snap”, a crisp snapping of his fingers echoed.

“Blood Explosion Technique!”

The blood remaining inside the opponent’s body exploded.

An isolated Level 8 Personnel was thus sneakily assassinated by them!

However, just as they were preparing to move on and hunt other targets, he suddenly felt a thump in his heart. Almost without thinking, blood spurted from the pores on his body, forming a crystal stone to block the path ahead…

It was at that moment that a green-rusted copper arrow shot towards him…

“Crack.”

The blood-red crystal shattered upon contact with the strange arrowhead.

The Asian man with the cowboy hat felt his scalp tingle with the stiffness of being targeted all over; he realized he was finished.

But at that very moment, a hand ablaze with flames reached out of nowhere, catching the arrow.

“Ninth Level strength, yet you ambush someone not even at Eighth Level… what a weakling.”

Colin’s right hand exerted a slight force, and he instantly snapped the arrow, causing the man behind him to catch his breath.

At the same time, not far in front, a figure hidden midair, upon seeing him appear, hardly thought twice before choosing to retreat, unwilling to fight to the death.

However…

No sooner had he taken a couple of steps away than Colin had already pulled out a special badge, requesting to initiate a fair and just battle.

“Now that you’re here, don’t be in such a hurry to leave. It’s my first time killing a Level 9 Personnel; I hope it entertains me.”

As his words fell, both figures disappeared on the spot, leaving the dumbfounded man with the cowboy hat, the sole survivor amidst the calamity.

…

Meanwhile, on another front, as the “Dawn Star” higher-ups had been captured in the blink of an eye by Colin and the power of the “Skirt of Myriad Starlight” had been severed…

They took little time to deal with all the remaining followers of the “Dawn Star”.

“What in the world is going on?” some of the officials, confused by the situation in front of them, began questioning the high-ranking officials leading the team.

“Don’t overthink it. Now is not the time for you to be pondering. Just await further instructions.”

The higher-level official being questioned replied—

In reality, he also had no idea what was happening. At least on the surface, their mission was to prevent the arrival of a Heretic Evil God.

But it didn’t seem to be the case now…

The real situation was probably known only to a select few, and this didn’t include him, even though he was a Level 8 Personnel.

Before they could think any further, a burst of Inspiration emerged in their minds.

Then, as if receiving some kind of command, they abandoned their advance towards the city center and, turning around, headed towards the combined forces of the Heretics.

“Damn it, this really is a trap!” Some members of the Heretic Forces vaguely realized something.

Having been suspicious of this place, they immediately understood that the “God Descent” was indeed a trap. As for what exactly was happening with “Dawn Star”, they didn’t have time to think or care…

Of course, not all Heretic Forces showed outraged expressions at this scene.

On the contrary, a significant number of them even showed smiles:

“Hahaha, it’s just a trap after all…”

This meant that “Dawn Star” had not descended; they still had a chance!

They still had a chance to save the world!

But compared to the Heretic Forces, who were already in chaos due to the meddling of the 25 gang and fighting amongst themselves…

The officials who had entered the area were, in fact, more cautious and apprehensive, especially towards the rolling, blood-colored fog hovering in midair…

The aura emanating from above was indeed very ominous.
