Chapter 21: Angus’s Fury
Chapter 21: Angus’s Fury
In Bai Yang's view, how much Wish Force he obtained initially wasn't important; what truly mattered was how much attention this incident could attract!
We're now in the internet age, where the emergence of social platforms allows certain events to spread rapidly in a very short time.
Therefore, compared to creating bigger disturbances, letting more people know about such events first was more important!
This was also an application of communication studies. What might just be a simple "meeting" now could, in the future, when more events appear one by one, leave an impression on those who heard about today's incident.
When that time comes, and the speculations in their hearts transform into undeniable reality, they would become the loyal followers Bai Yang had planned!
This was his true goal—not just for the present, but also for the future.
Therefore, watching Ken Burke crawling with his body curled up, along with the evil spirit possessing him, Bai Yang lightly flicked his fingers, making him change direction and head toward the church location!
How could staying on the main streets be acceptable? They needed to collide with each other to truly demonstrate supernatural power!
As for the battlefield, Garden Church would be the perfect choice.
Angus was here, Raum's feather was here, Caroline and the transformed Divine Spark crystal on her were also here.The first collision of these elements naturally had to be a spectacular show!
Bai Yang looked at the instantaneous thought power in his Divine Spark that emerged from high-level figures who learned the full story, feeling quite pleased.
He lifted his foot and stepped into the air, but didn't fall down—instead, he hovered in the sky.
The power of lies could naturally accomplish this; he deceived this patch of air, temporarily turning it solid, allowing him to stand in mid-air.
With the Divine Spark within him, even though he hadn't formally embarked on the path to godhood, he was already no longer human.
With Divine Power in hand and Wish Force within him, Bai Yang's body was automatically transforming toward becoming a "god."
And his path to godhood was right before his eyes!
...
"Woo woo..."
As the piercing police sirens blared, Ken Burke, who hadn't been moving fast, was naturally surrounded by the arriving police officers.
This twisted, completely naked "person" no longer had any human emotions, its ferocious face hanging upside down, emitting beast-like cries.
It stared at the police officers who had surrounded it, letting out incomprehensible roars.
Amid these roars, the police continued advancing, forcing it toward narrower spaces.
San Diego Police Department Deputy Chief Pierre White personally came to the scene, but he had no intention of approaching directly, instead watching from a considerable distance.
After learning about Ivan Ruiz's combat capabilities, he valued his life quite highly.
If this bishop-mutated monster was similar to Ivan, approaching would be equivalent to waiting for death!
Therefore, he simply watched from inside the armored vehicle behind, observing the situation on the monitor, watching the former bishop surrounded by numerous police officers.
"Roar!" It cried out again, then, while many people were stunned, climbed up the building beside it with incredible speed!
This four-legged monster, like a spider, directly scaled the walls of adjacent buildings and advanced forward with speed rivaling cars!
This scene not only caught the police off guard but also caused more onlookers to erupt in exclamations!
After all, this was the eighth largest city in the United States, not some rural town. Many people were recording this scene with their phones, all emitting shocked cries!
Not many people had seen such bizarre creatures before.
But following Pierre's order, the police immediately moved to confiscate phones from people around and warned them not to speak recklessly.
Regardless of the country, stability is always pursued, so if nothing unexpected happened, this incident would definitely be suppressed by California authorities.
While Pierre commanded the police here, he simultaneously asked officers at headquarters, "Can we track Ken Burke's location?"
"Sir, it's heading toward Garden Church, moving in a straight line the entire way, with no other predetermined targets around!"
"Good, immediately notify the church to evacuate tourists and clergy, and have nearby squads take positions!" Pierre picked up his communicator, "Target Garden Church, move out!"
"Yes, sir!" everyone responded. Police cars sounded their sirens and quickly departed amid the crowd's observation.
Although phones were confiscated and various messages couldn't be sent out, this scene was already deeply imprinted in their minds.
That alien-like creature would definitely make all who witnessed it believe unquestioningly!
Pierre and his team raced to Garden Church, but before his vehicle even came to a complete stop, a piercing shriek sounded in his ears!
"Ah!" This was a woman's scream, sharp and terrifying, instantly throwing Pierre into panic!
Every police officer was shaken by this sound. Their steps exiting vehicles halted abruptly, forced to cover their ears and remain painfully in place.
All police cars simultaneously sounded their alarms—this scream had actually triggered the police vehicles' alarm systems, making the already chaotic situation instantly more disorderly.
Fortunately, this didn't last too long. After all, these were border police frequently engaged in counterinsurgency operations, so their combat readiness was adequate.
They quickly put on ear protection, then charged into Garden Church with rifles and shotguns!
The first thing they saw was the scene inside the church!
Over a dozen corpses were laid out horizontally in the church's chapel, each with their chests torn open, blood flowing freely.
"Ugh..." Even the most experienced detectives couldn't help but retch twice upon seeing this blood-soaked scene.
As for the younger officers, they had long since rushed out of the church pale-faced, vomiting today's lunch under nearby trees.
Pierre didn't change expression—the old man had seen plenty of serial killers over the years and naturally wouldn't be shaken by something like this.
He crouched down, examining the incision marks on the bodies and their clothing, saying gravely, "These are all Garden Church personnel... Their bishop killed his own subordinates!"
Fortunately, due to timely evacuation, there were no tourists here—only some terrified clergy and the newly arrived police!
"Where's the monster?" Pierre shouted!
"Sir, it was just here moments ago!" an officer replied.
They searched the surroundings, trying to find traces of the monster, but unfortunately, they found nothing.
Then, they heard gradually approaching footsteps. All police officers instantly raised their guns, aiming at the back door!
Given the gruesome scene here, there was no doubt the bishop-mutated monster caused this, making the creature truly terrifying!
They didn't want to share the fate of these clergy members, so their nerves were stretched taut!
However, as the back door opened and black priest robes entered, everyone relaxed—it was a person, that was manageable!
Father Angus strode in, looking at the scene before him with grave concern and undeniable anger in his eyes, "An evil spirit is running rampant in the church! It's killing clergy members! This is desecration, a mockery and contempt for the Lord!"
"It's still in the church, possessing Bishop Ken Burke's body, but it has mutated into another kind of monster!"
He declared loudly, waving a scripture book in his hand, "This is blasphemy! The Lord will deliver His divine punishment, making this evil spirit pay the price!"
Hearing his words, Pierre's eyes lit up, asking curiously, "Father Angus, do you know what's happening here?"
