The fearsome might of the platinum-coloured holy flames incinerated the shadow immediately and arrived in front of Lorita.
"Fwooo!"
A spark of holy flame caught onto Lorita. Lorita's silhouette ignited like a piece of paper at once as the flames burnt.
Seeing such, the red-robed archbishop remained rather emotionless. Instead, he had a slightly ugly expression on his face.
"Tsk tsk... what a nasty old fellow who wants to burn such a cute girl like me alive..."
At a shadow beside it, Lorita walked out of the shadow and patted her chest. She looked like she was still rather shook and continued, "Luckily... I learned some tricks from my daddy."
Unfortunately, that was all she managed to learn.
After spending close to 10 years, she finally forcefully managed to understand and utilise some properties of shadows. She could create a few shadow clones of sorts.
In Fang Yuan's eyes, she did not have much potential and was not very capable.
"Ahhh!"
As Lorita evaded the holy flames, she launched her counterattack at the same time.
Large amounts of shadows gathered from the shadows of those from the Church and turned into all sorts of attacks.
The screams of those from the Church could be heard and a few of them collapsed.
"Sinner!"
Such a scene obviously made the archbishop enraged.
A cross-shaped glow appeared in his eyes and the shape of the angel behind him became clearer as he reached out his palm.
"Holy! The mighty God of Light, you created the world and gave light to it!"
In the surroundings, faint voices of hymns could be heard and a platinum coloured light shined as though it was subduing space.
"Ahh!"
In the shadows, a few Lorita's that looked exactly the same were squeezed out and exploded, leaving behind only the real body.
"Impossible..."
Lorita was forced to a corner and beads of sweat appeared on her face.
"A red-robed archbishop from the Curia is so strong?"
Last time, when she was with Lei at the Blue Star Alliance, she provoked the Curia once and dealt several staggering blows to them.
"I come with God's will!"
The old guy muttered again and swiped his hand with no hesitation.
In the skies, the angel did the exact same action. The platinum-coloured holy light solidified into a cage, as though it was a piece of amber that trapped insects.
"Wind!"
Just as a look of despair appeared on Lorita's face, a green coloured tempest appeared beside her. It turned into a dense storm of wind blades and with just one whirl, the giant hand of the platinum angel largely disappeared.
"Heresy! Another one?"
The red-robed archbishop eyes darted right past Leader Cai; he did not regard him as a human at all.
"Archbishop Ingres! It has been a while since we have met!"
Another group of people arrived and they were all dressed as mercenaries. The person leading them was a well-built Caucasian man with a gust of strong wind surrounding him.
"Golden Eagle Federation's secret agent, Tempest Jani?"
Ingres furrowed his brows, "Mere mortals, how dare you all covet the treasures left behind by God? Be careful of the flames of greed, for they might scorch your soul and burn it to nothing!"
"No matter what, this lady, Lorita, is not someone you can touch."
The person who came was indeed the Jani who was defeated by Fang Yuan last time. However, compared to 10 years ago, Jani now appeared much more matured, there was also an indescribable quality that could be sensed from his body.
"Hey! Tempest Jani... you will be no match for him!"
Lorita pouted her mouth and reminded Jani snappily.
"Of course, I know the Archbishop's strength, but what if it's like this..."
Jani clapped his hands. Behind him, numerous mercenaries took out their instruments and aimed them at Ingres.
"God's energy, the power of faith, actually still requires spiritual droplets as a medium to propagate through electromagnetic waves... these jammers are the federation's latest technologies."
"Toot! Toot!"
Indeed, under the blinding red lights, Ingres' expression changed at once. The angel behind him become much more illusory.
"Tempest!"
Seeing such, Jani raised two fingers and snapped them slightly.
"Hruuu! Hruuuuu!"
Strong winds raged and they were as sharp as a blade. The illusory angel was swept into it at once.
"Hehe... little brother Jani, can't believe you have such surprises after not seeing you for a few years..."
Lorita's expression did not relax much at all. After all, Jani was from the government of the federation. She did not have much ties with him and she even fiercely fought with him a few times before.
"After gathering all the prominent scientists in the federation, ten years was like a day, there were bound to be results and rewards!"
Jani shrugged his shoulders and added, "Miss Lorita, it has been a really long time since I saw you I wonder how Mister Lei is feeling lately?"
"That pervert hasn't died yet, that's it!"
Lorita rolled her eyes and continued, "You saved me because of him, right?"
"Of course, I must show some respect to the number one mutant in the world," Jani replied in a justified tone.
Leader Cai and Wang Xin who were beside were stupefied after listening to them.
"The world's number one mutant?"
"Even the federation has to be respectful?"
As Wang Xin mumbled, she glanced at Lorita with disbelief, "Her adoptive father is such a big deal?"
"Even the federation's secret agent has to respect him, looks like it's true..."
Leader Cai's eyes lit up and then turned dark, "Unfortunately... I missed the best opportunity."
"Rumble!"
Suddenly, the situation changed again.
Under the loud noise, the angel managed to escape. Ingres walked forward with a solemn expression on his face, "You all from the Golden Eagle Federation, what is your purpose of coming here?"
"You are able to forcefully break free from my tornado?"
Jani laid his eyes on the pendant hanging on the archbishop's chest.
"You have stored some holy energy from faith in your holy equipment in advance? The Curia is really giving their all this time around."
Faith was gathered from the beliefs of many and accumulated on the God. God then gifted the energies to the servants under him.
Even though it was a religion, they were just especially loved by their God in this area. Thus, their real strengths were actually not from their own bodies.
The federation's instruments obviously had the use of blocking such a channel.
However, red-robed archbishop Ingres was different.
The holy equipment on his chest had already stored insurmountable amounts of energies from faith. Currently, it could surge out directly and he was now enveloped by a layer of pure and holy light. The angel above his head was materialised even more and emanated a grand and solemn might.
"Miss Lorita, let's join hands!"
Jani assessed the situation and immediately made such a decision.
"No need..."
Lorita looked at the skies and suddenly grinned ear to ear.
"Eh?"
Jani raised his head and saw two black spots reaching above his head in an instant. They turned into the silhouettes of two persons and slowly landed from the skies.
"Crackle!"
Immediately, all the mutant's expression changed for the worse.
They felt the special abilities in their bodies disappear and they panickedly discovered they had totally become a normal person.
Furthermore, even the angel in mid-air let out a shriek and exploded at once, turning into specks of light.
"Impossible!"
Ingres' expression changed drastically.
If Jani's actions just now were just blocking the channel of faith, now, all the holy energy in Ingres' body were being dissipated. It was extremely overbearing and forceful!
"That special ability... is that from Angel?" Jani thought.
Jani looked at Fang Yuan and the teenage girl descending from the sky. Accompanied with a smile on his face, he welcomed, "So it's Mister Lei and Miss Angel! I represent the federation and send my regards."
"Golden Eagle Federation's secret agent?"
Fang Yuan looked at Jani with an odd look on his face.
Jani appeared really respectful and did not have any tinge of awkwardness in his expressions.
Fang Yuan could not believe Jani was not suspecting his identity.
At the battle in Mountain Ocean City's willow tree previously, these secret agents were badly defeated and even lost one of their men. But now, Jani seemed to have forgotten about all these past events.
Whether Jani really did not realise Fang Yuan's real identity or was acting like he did not know him, Fang Yuan felt Jani's character was not bad and he might be better than Lorita in the future.
"People from Golden Eagle Federation and Blue Star Alliance..."
Fang Yuan had his arms behind his back, surveyed the entire surroundings and thought, "They arrived so quickly! Did they rush over with jet planes immediately after receiving the news yesterday night?"
Even Chinese Country was inferior in having such an ability to travel through continents so quickly.
"Ingres, can you tell me what exactly is your Church after?"
Fang Yuan looked at the archbishop with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"This question... shall be answered by me!"
Suddenly, red-robed archbishop Ingres' eyes lost his gaze at once. A golden light was emitted from his eyes instead.
"Rumble!"
Holy light descended again. That dense and holy energy was even more intense than just now.
Angel's face turned ashen at once and she felt her spell-restricting field was broken. A powerful will had descended directly on Ingres' body.
"You are the Church's God? Or should I say... the Seraph of Light awakened from the Heaven yesterday?"
Fang Yuan looked at Ingres and instead saw an angel with three pairs of wings.
"It's me!"
The seraph nodded his head slightly, "You can call me... Farquhar!"
Angel's special ability was to restrict spell and expulse all spiritual droplets. Even cultivators from the Middle Continent that had techniques that were subpar would become a totally useless person in front of her.
However, this Farquhar was evidently different.
He had the same power of the arena of a 4th Tier mutant and he forcefully broke free from the spell restrictions.
With such capabilities, he would be a legitimate deity in the ancient times!
"Farquhar! My name is Lei!"
Fang Yuan blinked and continued, "I'm not sure why you, who have just awakened, would rush here so quickly!"
"In order to inherit the inheritance of other deities!"
Farquhar was very cautious facing a powerful person at the same tier, "The return of the Spiritual King Comet also has its cycle. Why would I want to lose all my powers and become a mere mortal? Why would I seal myself and wait for the next 1,000 years to arrive?"
"Oh? What you mean is?"
Fang Yuan blinked his eyes and was interested.
"I found it..."
Farquhar scanned the people around him in the surroundings. Immediately, all the mutants below the Calamity Grade lost the gaze in their eyes and could no longer hear anything.
"I found the way to maintain the peak amount of spiritual energy forever! Not only me, the other deities in Middle Continent and West Continent had also researched about it. I have awakened in order to gather the power of everyone to complete all these and make the entire world belong to us forever!"
Seraph Farquhar spoke in a calm manner, revealing a shocking secret.
