From God of Lies to Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 323: The Brick Glyph Sorcerer's Wrath

No one knew about this curse for the time being. Most people could only see the ferocious expression of this peculiar Sorcerer as he waved his hands in front of the people from The Church!

Knowing that he had been abandoned, Jose's actions naturally held no trace of mercy or hesitation.

His previous restraint came from believing he had found a place where he could dedicate his entire life, making him appear calm and gentle (do not be surprised, many ordinary people of America truly think this way, as their education levels are quite low, especially those in rural areas).

But now, the moment the bubble called "reality" was burst, he descended into madness.

Or perhaps, this had always been his true nature. The moment he acquired Demonic Power, he should have gone mad. Now, it was merely the complete manifestation of that madness.

Jose waved his hands, and the terrifying brick-and-stone colossus slammed its fists into the ground, sending a horrifying shockwave through the entire area!

Then, naturally, came the shocked screams of the onlookers!

Who could have imagined that the two groups, which had been conversing peacefully just a moment ago, would suddenly be at daggers drawn?

The massive tremors in the ground instilled an indescribable panic in everyone's hearts. If such a Great Monster truly flew into a rage, what kind of terrifying impact would it cause?

Right at that moment, Nicky jerked his head up. Utilizing his authority as the Angelic Throne's Sacred Fire Judgment Authority, he spread his arms, held the Bible in his hands, and slowly chanted:"The ancient martyrs lean down from their thrones—

Stephen's stones still radiate Divine Glory, Ignatius's lion pride roars once more:

'Those who endure to the end shall receive the crown of life!'"

He stared at the Sorcerer before him and whispered, "As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him."

"Religious Tribunal!"

"Present!" The massive unified response was even louder and more concentrated than before.

"Form the Dew-Bearer High Priest's Rite, gather the Hymn's sighs! Let the Dew of Light reveal the Demon's true name!" Nicky's words guided everyone present to slowly open their eyes. The faint specks of starlight in their gazes suddenly condensed into a massive starburst!

This starlight was so passionate and dazzling that it forced many people to involuntarily look away, unable to bear the sight of its radiance.

Within this Light, a specific name appeared before their eyes: "Gaap"!

"The Demon Gaap? That Demon God of Knowledge? The Demon God of the Noble Scion class..." Upon seeing this name, many people on The Church's side immediately understood. So, the entity behind this demonic church was Gaap, one of the seventy-two Pillar Demons!

They were not the only ones; even more observers also realized what was happening. Looking at this name and instructing others to record it down, they pondered whether they too could make contact with a Demon God.

For these people, moral constraints had never existed. Power was their one and only desire.

However, this did not stop them from directly instructing their Media outlets to use the Demon's name to cause trouble for Golden Hair.

America had stood at the pinnacle of this world for so long; in this Era of the Extraordinary, it was high time for a change in leadership.

Of course, the vast majority of the spectators at the scene could not enjoy such a privilege. They did not even dare to look, sprinting outward desperately as if wishing they had sprouted an extra pair of legs. After all, this was a battlefield of the Supernatural, not a skirmish that just any insignificant people could participate in!

"The Lord is my light and my salvation!" At this moment, the members of the Religious Tribunal were completing their praises and prayers. What manifested from their words were streaks of divine light that practically condensed into physical form.

Standing among them, Nicky, the Authority, delivered his judgment: "Away with you, Satan! For it is written: Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only!"

Seven streaks of golden flame shot out from his lapels, weaving together into a "Holy Spirit Light Cage" that enveloped the evil energy, trapping Jose inside and completely stopping the giant stone colossus from advancing any further.

This Binding made many people breathe a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, they could still control the situation!

Yet, even in such highly restrictive conditions, Jose was still able to accomplish what he intended to do.

He glared at the people before him, his eyes filled with Hatred, and slowly said, "As expected of The Church... No wonder even Lord Pillar Demon did not dare to clash with you directly, choosing instead to intervene midway..."

"But so what?" Boundless madness flashed in Jose's eyes. "I never planned on surviving! I just want to drag as many people to hell with me as possible!"

He waved the staff in his hands, his body swaying along with it. Under his almost limitless expansion, the power of Brick Glyph Magic reached its absolute peak. Tremors slowly began to manifest before everyone's eyes. This peculiar vibration, originating from the bricks and stones themselves, caused Nicky to furrow his brows deeply!

"He's... drawing upon the power of all the bricks and stones to destroy this place... He wants mutual destruction!"

It was not just the giant before them, nor merely the plaza. The entire surrounding area began to shake frantically under his manipulation.

Dozens of buildings within a radius of hundreds of meters were swaying, every single brick and stone within them trembling violently!

The people who had already been fleeing became even more terrified and frantic, screaming at the top of their lungs, "Earthquake! Run!"

This threw the city's situation into even greater chaos. This massive city, which had just endured a Tornado disaster a few months ago, was now facing another terrifying natural calamity!

Moreover, this disaster was visibly more horrifying than an earthquake. Amidst the intense shaking, the surrounding buildings began to crumble, dismantle, and systematically destroy themselves!

This meant that all the residents living in the houses throughout the entire surrounding area would become victims of this catastrophe!

If this disaster truly unfolded, it would be a humanitarian tragedy even more horrifying than the terrible impact event of 2001!

This was simply too terrifying! How could a single Transcendent Being trigger such a calamity?

Faced with this situation, Nicky did not hesitate to speak to Baron and Austin. "What's wrong? Is the American Government just going to stand by and watch Demonic Power slaughter its own citizens?"

Hearing this, Baron knew he could no longer hesitate. The phone call from his elderly father had made it very clear: Jose had been abandoned. The American Officials could not afford the public relations nightmare of being accused of consorting with demons.

If such accusations were established, Golden Hair knew without a doubt what kind of terrifying media storm Nuland and her affiliated newspapers and Media mouthpieces would stir up on the internet!

This wave of public opinion could even destroy all of his achievements, just like it did four years ago, and possibly lead to another impeachment motion against him!

This was something Golden Hair absolutely could not tolerate, which was why he had chosen to cut ties with Jose at lightning speed.

Right now, the disaster caused by Jose was unfolding right before their eyes. Everyone knew what this meant—this calamity would be far more extreme than any previous disaster, and every single death would be scrutinized and recorded!

Because this was Luo City, Nuland and her allies had all their eyes glued to them. Even the slightest mistake would be magnified, let alone such an astronomical blunder.

Even so, the attacks he would face over the next month would only increase. Under these circumstances, Nicky's words were tantamount to an olive branch extended by The Church.

As long as they could carry out rescue operations, and as long as they could let the Media capture a couple of photos of their rescue efforts, the White House would have a completely new narrative to spin.

If anyone tried to attack them using this incident later, they could use their rescue efforts as a shield to respond!

Of course, it would sound rather unconvincing, but as long as they had an excuse, they could argue. They could then deflect blame—for instance, by bringing up certain mistakes or disaster relief failures of their predecessor, Deng Zi—to point fingers at each other and muddy the waters.

It was a scumbag move, but a highly effective one.

"Disaster relief! The White House has nothing to do with this matter. We only knew he was a Transcendent Being, but we know absolutely nothing about his connection to demons!" Prompted by Austin, Baron loudly cleared themselves of responsibility and directly took control of the narrative. "However, the Government will absolutely not abandon a single person trapped in this disaster! We will conduct rescue operations with all our might!"

"Warriors of America, stand up! Fortify your will! Now it is our turn to save our citizens!"

As soon as his words fell, the Dragon-Blood Warriors behind him, who had previously lost their morale, stood up once more. Their bodies swelled with explosive muscles and dragon scales, transforming into forms over three meters tall as they charged toward the collapsing buildings.

The fleeing civilians, amidst shrieks of shock, were scooped up in an instant. With a single massive leap, they were carried to distant safe zones and set down on the ground.

Panic-stricken, they stared at the behemoths beside them, who were now waiting beneath the buildings, bringing people down from the second floors to the ground, pulling up those who had fallen...

Using Transcendent Beings for disaster relief was certainly a bit of an overkill!

"Phew!" Watching this scene unfold, Nicky let out a breath of relief and looked back at the man in front of him. Now, they finally had the time to properly deal with this demon apostle!
