Chapter 326 - The God of War Ares Appears, and the Gods Rage

"I know you're all in a difficult position, and now that the Heavenly Kingdom's church has been destroyed, believers have drastically decreased, and the remaining believers can't rebuild the church either~~"

Michael looked apologetic and embarrassed as he made his request to everyone.

However.

Each person's face still showed great difficulty.

Who the hell would be willing to do this kind of thankless job?

In the end, Osius's voice rang out, "Um, Lord Michael, I'm willing to lend you a hand."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and knelt on one knee, extending his palm, hoping to shake the divine jade hand once.

But Michael wasn't stupid either, thanking him while suppressing his own resistance, stepping aside, "That's too kind!"

"You lust-driven bastard, if you want to do it, do it yourself, don't drag us into it! Trash!"

Pendragon couldn't help himself again, cursing and swearing.

They indeed couldn't beat Gabriel, that was undoubtedly true.

But that didn't mean the other party could force them to do these things.

Queen Cleopatra also objected, "My empire still has many matters to handle, I must decline."

Even the Five Great Sages refused, "We're still busy dealing and maneuvering with the Five Great Evil Sages, if we divide our forces, we might very well be caught off guard."

"In that case, let's just send the Holy Alliance army, after all, they all contain our power."

At this time, Heracles said gravely.

Having witnessed Gabriel's power and temper, he still thought it was better not to create friction.

Just putting in a little effort would be enough.

However, Gabriel said coldly, "No, it can only be done by you, or reassign forces second only to you."

The angel army could at most kill Lin Tian and his confidants and the participating goblin legion.

Among the remaining demons, many great demons had already evolved.

The entire Holy Alliance army combined wouldn't be their match.

They must suppress those demons, just like how the former Holy Church and Great Tomb divided boundaries, in order to establish the church and maintain believers' loyalty.

"This, why is that? Aren't you going to solve the strongest demons?"

Luo Ai'er couldn't help but ask.

Michael looked troubled, "The specifics, we can't tell you, dear."

Everyone fell silent, not knowing what to say anymore.

Going to help others establish a church would be equivalent to betraying their own faith.

They would never agree no matter what.

If they lost divine protection at that time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Because besides these imperial forces, there were many other powerful forces of demons and demi-humans.

Seeing everyone's expressions, their choice was clear without saying.

Michael could only helplessly look toward Gabriel, "Your Highness, what should we do now?"

"According to the divine contract, we indeed cannot interfere with the mortal world, but God said there's one provision, which is when it concerns our own survival, we can intervene..."

"Buzz!!!"

Instantly!

Powerful divine pressure burst forth!

"Mythic-level magic · Heavenly Judgment!"

The next second, everyone felt their bodies transmit intense unease, as the surrounding environment changed into the appearance of a courtroom.

Gabriel and Michael sat majestically above, solemn and dignified!

Around them, towering winged angel sculptures holding sharp swords appeared prominently, and even though they were sculptures, their golden glowing eyes questioned like they could penetrate souls.

Everyone's heartbeat began to accelerate.

Gabriel's voice seemed to resonate from all directions, "Kneel!"

"Thud!!!"

Everyone was shaken by this power, their whole bodies going weak as they knelt on the ground.

The Five Great Sages couldn't believe it, "How is this possible, such... such magnificent holy power, surpassing all light, as if everything here pales in comparison..."

"My power, has been drained by this judgment court?!"

Osius looked at his powerless hands, saying in shock.

Heracles' brave spear and shield were also broken like scrap metal toys.

His heart felt like it was being stared at directly by a soul, with difficulty maintaining composure, even becoming increasingly fearful.

Pendragon was the same, his small face filled with panic, pupils trembling, kneeling on the ground very powerlessly.

Gabriel crossed his arms, looking down at everyone with contempt, "For the sake of Heaven, I have no choice but to do this, but rest assured, I won't attack, let's just see if you can withstand the soul attacks of Heavenly Judgment!"

"Ah!! No, don't come near me!!"

"Boom!"

Suddenly a shocking roar rang out, Osius was struggling there inexplicably.

As if very resistant to something.

But in everyone else's eyes, there was nothing there.

In his eyes, however, there were women he had once violated and killed approaching, crawling all over his body about to suffocate him.

At the same time.

Heracles looked up, pupils suddenly contracting!

In front of him stood an ordinary beautiful woman in white clothes, holding a baby girl and crying continuously.

"It's... it's you!? I'm sorry... I'm sorry! Back then I had no choice but to abandon you to prove my strength, I'm sorry!"

In his screaming, he heavily hammered the ground with one hand, rumbling continuously!

His eyes were filled with bloodshot veins and regret!

The Five Great Sages also suffered greatly, even the most sacred and noble sages had unknown sinful secrets in their hearts.

The Queen was even more frightened, covering her head with both hands, "Stay away from me! Aren't you dead?!"

In front of her, the Pharaoh she had personally killed appeared prominently, coming to claim her life.

Not only that.

All the sins committed in their lives kept appearing, tormenting them.

However.

The strongest hero of Stellar Sanctuary, Luo Ai'er, had already stood up, her aura stable, as if she had never done a single evil or regretful thing.

Gabriel's expression changed slightly, "Oh? Your soul is actually pure? Come, you can directly become a high-ranking angel."

"That's wonderful!"

Michael applauded.

But Luo Ai'er didn't answer anything.

At this time, Osius's hand suddenly raised, blood vessels and veins bulging, "Enough! Enough Lord Gabriel! Why punish me? Didn't I agree to help you?"

"Oh oh, that's right Your Highness, he seems willing to help us."

Michael suddenly realized, saying embarrassedly.

Gabriel just waved his hand lightly, and Osius returned to normal.

At this moment his face was ashen, covered in cold sweat, full of goosebumps!

Like a drowning person breathing fresh air again, he kept gasping roughly.

The soul attacks of Heavenly Judgment Court were unavoidable, making each person fall into the most desperate and helpless state, then proceeding to soul punishment.

It had nothing to do with mental strength.

Even the most vicious criminals would suffer such torment, after all, no one's conscience had never questioned themselves.

Vicious criminals only gradually lost their conscience.

The Judgment Court would directly maximize conscience, face the soul directly, and proceed with self-punishment.

At this moment.

The others were obviously about to break down, "Stop... stop..."

But Gabriel had no intention of stopping, her expression resolute.

This concerned the future of Heaven, how could she give up just like that.

In a sense, she was only serving divine authority.

Just when Heracles and others were in despair, suddenly!!

They could clearly feel a powerful force attacking from above!

"Crack!"

Instantly, the entire Heavenly Judgment Court was directly shattered by something, becoming countless fragments!

And it was accompanied by a powerful falling shock wave!

Sending everyone flying.

However, finally recovered, everyone felt like they had been reborn after death.

If they had waited any longer, they would have been tortured by their own conscience to suicide.

But suddenly.

A pressure that hadn't been there before appeared on the plaza, and it was accompanied by the humming sound of power vibrating!

They saw that what had fallen wasn't a meteorite or shooting star.

But a man in golden armor, like a god! No, he was a god!

Holding a golden short hammer, lightning surrounded his body, surging without dispersing!

Incredibly domineering!

"Lord Ares!!"

Heracles' expression changed, saying excitedly.

Everyone's faces changed dramatically.

Ares, the God of War among the twelve Olympian gods!

He smiled wickedly and said calmly, "Relax, this is our territory, it's not the turn of Heaven's guys to run wild here..."

Everyone in their hearts breathed a sigh of relief, feeling saved.

For Pendragon, Cleopatra, the Five Great Sages and others, although he wasn't their own god, as long as he could solve the current problem, that was enough.

God versus god was the only way to have mutual negotiating qualifications.

Hearing this.

Gabriel's face darkened, "Ares? What do you mean it's not my turn to run wild here? Do you think you can beat me?"

"Hahaha, Battle Angel Gabriel, Heaven's executioner, I'd really like to see what you're capable of..."

Ares laughed heartily, his tone full of disdain and provocation.

Instantly!

A golden light exploded, everyone couldn't see clearly, but Gabriel had already drawn her sword!

Golden sword energy aimed at Ares and slashed over.

But for the battle-hardened God of War, this kind of attack could be easily dodged.

Heracles quickly said, "Be careful! Her attacks are sure-hit!"

But Ares didn't care, holding the war hammer and beginning to swing rapidly, forming a strong lightning storm rolling backward!

Directly offsetting the sword energy, the explosion's aftershock shook heaven and earth!

Even the cloud layers were completely scattered.

Everyone quickly pulled back, not daring to get too close.

They weren't qualified to participate in this level of battle, and could be seriously injured if not careful.

Seeing this.

Gabriel's eyes burst with golden light, quickly swinging out dozens of sword energies!

The corner of her mouth slightly raised.

Because Ares couldn't possibly block them all at once, which meant he could only dodge while clearing them one by one.

In that case, the final sword energy would become stronger over time!

Indeed.

Ares's movement technique was very powerful, able to easily weave through dozens of densely surrounding sword energies, then block them one by one.

Even his breathing remained perfectly steady.

"What!"

At this time, Ares's expression changed slightly, feeling something was wrong.

The final sword energy in front of him was a full dozen meters high! Full of oppressive presence!

The holy light was so abundant it almost blinded people!

The aura of desperate sharpness gripped everyone's throat!

Osius said in shock, "How is this possible, isn't this kind of attack too invincible?"

For demigods, the mythic-level abilities they mastered might be overpowered, but all had ways to break them.

The one before them, with sure-hit properties plus gradual strengthening.

Was truly invincible.

Seeing this, Ares could only deploy his domain, a golden magic circle instantly spreading beneath his feet! "Mythic-level war technique · Destroy Thousand Armies!"

As the hammer swinging speed got faster and faster, the hammer in his hand brought up lightning crackling!! Even random strikes could crack the white iron ore ground!

In the blink of an eye, Ares formed a golden lightning-like drilling wind.

Charging toward the sword energy!

"Sizzle!"

Wherever it passed, the white iron ore ground directly caved in and crumbled!

Finally the two forces collided, and the explosive shock wave completely destroyed the entire Hercules Plaza!

The entire palace was reduced to ruins!

Everyone was shaken by the aftershock to spit blood, thinking they stood at the top.

Compared to true gods, the gap was really too enormous.

Of course, this was a main god.

"Are you all alright?"

"Don't move, let me heal you~"

"Hang in there, don't pass out."

At this time, Michael teleported back and forth among everyone, comforting while casting magic to heal their injuries.

"This, how is this possible!! My kingdom!"

Heracles looked ahead in shock, his heart trembling!

A ruined path four to five thousand meters long and two to three hundred meters wide appeared before them.

Still accompanied by wisps of lightning dancing.

All caused by Ares's strike just now.

The God of War's destructive power truly lived up to being top-tier!

The visual impact was incredibly intense!!!

The next second, Ares returned to the ruins-filled plaza, "Hmph, I thought this move was so strong, didn't expect it to be just this level."

His Destroy Thousand Armies was a mythic-level war technique, but didn't have any heaven-defying bug settings.

Or rather, being strong enough was itself a heaven-defying bug setting.

"It seems you really intend to obstruct me?"

Gabriel said coldly, a silver mask suddenly appearing on her head, full combat mode activated!

Four of the twelve wings on her back began to glow with golden light!

Golden feathers floating down, very shocking!

Hearing this, Ares didn't answer, directly throwing his war hammer over!

The rotational force plus inertia could easily pierce through a mountain!

"Bang!"

Result.

Gabriel simply lifted her sword to block, bouncing the hammer away.

The impact force once again leveled large areas of buildings.

The powerful pressure was completely different from before!

Ares's heart tightened, immediately feeling the situation was bad, "This is four wings activated? Interesting, then I need to get serious too!"

"Enough! Lord God, we agree!"

Heracles's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting the tense atmosphere.

Everyone's expressions changed slightly, somewhat confused.

Pendragon was first to say, "I won't agree, trash!"

Heracles's face darkened, "If we don't agree, my royal city will be destroyed. If the Immortal Empire won't help, then I'll start total war afterward!"

First, if he sent troops to help others while being ignored, he was very worried others would take the opportunity to attack.

He could only drag everyone into the water.

"What!"

Everyone's expressions changed dramatically. Total war meant the Divine Continent would face bloody storms.

Helplessly.

Everyone nodded one after another, "Fine, we agree, but we won't send too many troops, the main force has to be the Hercules Empire."

"That's no problem. Lord Gabriel, Lord Michael, can you stop now?"

Heracles said helplessly.

Thus.

Gabriel was finally satisfied, "Very good, I'll give you benefits later too. Let's go Michael, time to prepare for war."

"Mm-hmm! Bye-bye~"

Michael waved to everyone.

The two directly turned into streaming light and flew into the sky, disappearing.

Seeing this, Heracles looked toward Ares, "Thank you Lord Ares for your help..."

Before he could finish speaking.

Ares's face was full of dark lines, "Hmph! Useless, you're betraying Mount Olympus! From now on, the affairs of your Hercules Empire and War God Empire have nothing to do with Mount Olympus!"

"Whoosh!"

Speaking while his whole body erupted with lightning, beginning to ascend.

Then flying toward Mount Olympus on the horizon.
