From God of Lies to Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 263: Did You Break the Laws of Heaven?

For the current Catholic Church, they now possessed more than enough confidence to speak such words.

After all, they were no longer an ordinary church, but a Transcendent Holy See!

To uphold their doctrine and protect a world of peace and tranquility, there was nothing they would not do. The Lord watched over them from the heavens, and now, they were truly fearless!

Consequently, his subordinates immediately brought out a satellite phone and dialed Pope Mario, far away in the Vatican. "Your Holiness, this is George!"

"Sir George, you have already approached the vicinity of that unfortunate believer. What do you need me to do?" Pope Mario's voice came through, full of vigor.

"I have a document here that is being transmitted to you right now!" George declared. "You will understand once you see it! I will complete the clean up of this area, so please dispatch members of the Religious Tribunal as soon as possible! By the way, there are also matters concerning our own internal affairs, as well as other denominations..."

Hearing this, Pope Mario frowned. "The Religious Tribunal? Very well, I understand!"

The Pope did not feel surprised. Since the Religious Tribunal was mentioned, it seemed that the unbridled arrogance of certain individuals had truly reached a terrifying extent!

"Good, very good, excellent!" As the documents arrived, those images that could only be described as shocking to behold unfolded one by one before Pope Mario's eyes!

It was indeed far too shocking to behold. Those "people" from the Golden Triangle region were butchered into pieces and distributed across various areas. Under the cover of certain locals and specific members of the church, this practice had actually persisted for over a century!This situation had been ongoing since the nineteenth century up to the present day, and the faction that had contributed the most to this was naturally Protestantism!

Within this document, the information regarding the participation of Church forces was simply too clear and explicit, even though such matters had little to do with Pope Mario, the head of the Catholic Church.

Protestantism was a highly inclusive church system. Unlike the Catholic Church, they lacked a complete hierarchical structure and generally acted independently. The saying "everyone is a bishop" perfectly described their philosophy.

However, this also meant that without the rule of a strong central authority, the faith of these individuals varied greatly in quality, was utterly disorganized, and could even be considered exceedingly poor.

Protestantism lacked unified supervision. The fact that certain sects had colluded with the black market for their own interests, tolerating a century of evil deeds, was now laid out completely bare before his eyes!

Looking at the evidence before him, a flash of determination crossed Pope Mario's eyes. "It seems we need to have a proper talk with these heretics! As believers in the Lord, if they tolerate such things from happening, what difference is there between them and heretics?"

"Although this is the fault of Protestantism, the Lord's Radiance must not be tarnished. All believers share the responsibility of purification!"

"If it comes down to it, they should be deposed. If they cannot even carry out The Lord's Will, what is the point of their existence?"

While Pope Mario began to contact Bishop Bennett Angus, pondering how to clean up the Church system across the entire Western world, George's side had also completed their interrogation of the captives.

"Sir, there is an army of about three hundred men stationed nearby. Should we..." the young clergyman said, "continue to clean up bit by bit?"

George nodded slightly. "Yes, push forward bit by bit, and investigate the exact location of every single person! This is the first operation of the Inquisition. Make all necessary preparations, and do not be deceived by the actions of these people!"

"The Lord's Radiance shines upon us. All glory to the Lord!"

Everyone nodded simultaneously, murmuring this phrase, which also brought the scene here directly to Dakan, or rather, to the people at the Kachin Army headquarters!

Through the cheap cameras they had bought from an online discount store, they witnessed the Buddhist monk attempting to guide the soldiers to enlightenment, and on the other side, they saw the white light radiating from the hands of those Church members!

Dakan was already somewhat terrified when he saw the Church members and that Buddhist monk arriving at the same time!

Upon seeing what was happening through those cameras, his eyes nearly split open in sheer panic. They were all Transcendents? All of them were powerful beings? What?!

Therefore, he hurriedly took the information and transmitted all the news to the headquarters, hoping they would send someone to save him!

He was aware of the Supernatural Events happening in the outside world. He originally thought that as a minor figure, he could just run his mouth and nothing would happen. Who could have expected that Transcendents would actually come to kill him?

"The Inquisition... the Religious Tribunal..." The boss of the Kachin Army, General Enla, was completely stunned. Looking at this group of well-trained Church members who were all Transcendents, he felt that his life had truly hit absolute rock bottom!

They hadn't even done anything, so why were these people coming right to their doorstep?

They had heard rumors that Transcendence was real, but now that Transcendents had appeared right in front of them, that kind of fear was still exceptionally palpable.

However, Dakan's words made him feel as if on the brink of an abyss once again!

"General, it's actually not just them, there's someone else..." he said, handing over the video of the Buddhist monk. "A Buddhist monk has also arrived. He seems to have incited a rebellion among my soldiers and is walking towards my headquarters!"

"Dakan, did you... break the laws of heaven?" Enla was dumbfounded. Why were there more of them?

In the footage, that elderly Buddhist monk appeared before their eyes, causing Enla to suddenly freeze. "Wait, this is that Buddhist monk, the one famous in the northern region who claimed he wanted to reduce the privileges of the monks!" "Wasn't he about to die? Just yesterday, I had my men beat him to death..."

Hearing this, Dakan suddenly realized what had happened. "So it was you! You were the one who turned him into this?"

They were all smart people, so naturally, they could guess exactly what kind of situation this was.

It was most likely a scenario akin to a "Transcendent encounter" or a "Transcendent blessing". Regardless of the specifics, this monk who had died and come back to life was definitely a special Transcendent. They were absolutely certain of this!

"This has nothing to do with me. After all, we aren't their target!" As a regional leader, Enla reacted very quickly!

"From now on, Dakan, you have absolutely no connection with our Kachin Independence Army. You caused all these issues on your own, and you need to resolve them on your own! If you manage to resolve them, we can talk about cooperation again. If you can't..."

Enla actively cut off the communication. Dakan smashed his fist into the screen in front of him, his eyes filled with resentment. "You damn son of a bitch! If I survive this, I will definitely tear your entire family to pieces and feed them to the dogs!"

The Warlord's eyes were brimming with malice and dissatisfaction, but ultimately, they were buried under deep fear!

"Angliel, do you think we... still have hope?" he asked the aide beside him, hoping to get a positive response, but the answer left him rather disappointed.

"Boss, I don't know... We've never fought them, so how could we know?" Angliel replied. "I heard that even against Transcendent Monsters, modern weapons are still effective. Not to mention, we are an army!"

Hearing this, Dakan's gaze finally became resolute!

"Right! Right! We still have an army, and we still have weapons! I refuse to believe that any kind of Transcendent could survive being hit by an 80-millimeter artillery shell!"

"Their Transcendent Power is probably only effective at close range. From a distance, aren't they just sitting ducks for us?"

This ruthless military man still had a streak of ferocity in him after all. He viciously commanded, "That's it! Notify everyone! Tell them to unleash all their bullets and explosive shells and bombard them relentlessly! Deploy the drones as well, and pick them off from the sky!"

"I want to see exactly which is harder: my explosive shells, or the heads of these Transcendents!"

Did he not know that even if he wiped them out, there would be further consequences? Of course he knew!

But as a Warlord, how could he lack even the slightest bit of ruthlessness? Even if they were to negotiate, he had to fight them first before talking!

Thus, the self-propelled howitzers, mortars, old artillery, and other heavy weaponry in the military camp were hauled out and aimed directly towards The South and the west.

"Adjust the trajectories, lock onto the positions of those two groups, and blast them to hell!" Dakan's orders caused a soldier to gasp in surprise. "Boss, we still have our own men over there..."

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and the soldier who had just spoken slumped to the ground lifelessly. Blood and brain matter splattered all over the people nearby. "They have mutinied! Do you hear me? They have mutinied! Fire! Fire right now!"

The corpse and the blood severely provoked the remaining men. To avoid following in the footsteps of the man before them, they could only push through their fear with bloodshot eyes, mustering their courage as they shoved the explosive shells into the artillery barrels!

Meanwhile, several kilometers away, the members of the Church slowly raised their heads. They could all sense the impending crisis approaching.

"Everyone, rally to me!" George shouted loudly. Raising his long sword horizontally across his chest, he showed absolutely no fear. "The Lord will protect us, and the radiance of the Saint will shine upon us! The Crown of Holy Thorns will safeguard our lives! March forward!"

As for the other side, relying on the power of his Divine Abilities, Min Aung had detected the danger even earlier. Bathed in the Buddha's Radiance, he had already completed his preparations.

"Continue marching forward. No attack will be able to strike us!" He chanted the Buddha's name, his tone completely relaxed.

Since they were all chosen Transcendents, how could they possibly be hit by such mundane attacks so easily?
