From God of Lies to Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 393: The False God Bleeds!

The Pope was also quite the talker; halfway through their conversation, he unleashed a lethal strike! This was the combat proficiency of a Pope who had fought in jungle guerilla warfare!

The radiance he shot forth with a raise of his hand carried a terrifying and powerful will. It was the will belonging to the Church, or perhaps to Yahweh Himself. That divine will quickly solidified into an even more horrifying beam of light, spreading outward toward everything in its path!

With just a single sweep of its illumination, those crystalline entities—which originally resurrected endlessly and could not be annihilated—dissipated under the blazing light!

This was not a simple dissipation, but rather a complete erasure at the particle level. This attack was also researched and developed by the Church. One of their priests was a renowned physicist, and through the study of this light beam, they had created an energy blast capable of obliterating everything.

However, even though this attack had been fully developed, Mario remained the only person in the entire Church who could use it, because only he could instantaneously mobilize such formidable firepower!

After all, the Wish Power required to produce such boundless radiance was incredibly absurd. Aside from the Pope, absolutely no one else could claim such authority.

It was a majestic radiance brought about by the condensation of the faith of Christians all over the world. A few months ago, this would have been nothing more than a figure of speech, carrying no actual meaning.

But now, with the completion of the Faith Sealing the Nation plan, the Wish Power of the entire world had officially begun to flow. The Wish Power belonging to the Church was also concentrated on Mario, following the rules delineated by Bai Yang.

"Damned mortal, you actually launched a sneak attack..." Even Kuchamama failed to react in time. The man before him had instantly transitioned from an apparent desire to chat straight into a full-blown assault!

Everything he had just done that seemed like an act was not mere performance, but rather a way to gather energy for an attack!This sudden shift left the False God from another world looking somewhat stunned, which was immediately followed by an indescribable, explosive fury!

Because under Mario's attack, his crystal-like body was actually beginning to be annihilated!

This annihilation was even being displayed directly in front of everyone, causing him to feel a completely unexplainable sense of foreboding!

Because a God was bleeding!

Seeing this scene, Mario finally let out a slow sigh of relief. "Phew... thank goodness, thank goodness, we bet right once again! The Lord's power remains effective even when enhanced by modern physics!"

This attack of his was the passionate masterpiece of that physicist. It was only through the analysis and research of holy light that such an attack achieved this exceptionally brilliant effect.

It was the sheer power of particle vibration combined with the will housed within the holy light that brought about this mighty result. It was also the single most powerful offensive technique the Church had developed during this recent period!

And now, this attack had taken effect!

Everyone could see it. That arrogant, immensely powerful False God who sought to destroy everything, the one who left the entire world watching helplessly, the one who left all Transcendent Beings at their wit's end, forcing them to trade their lives just to buy time, was injured!

One of his arms visibly disintegrated under Mario's assault. Although it recovered rapidly, this still proved that Mario's attack was effective!

Humanity had always only feared the unknown, and Gods were undeniably entities of the unknown.

Humans could bleed because humans were weak. Gods surely could not bleed, because Gods were incomparably mighty. Yet now, this entity that proclaimed itself a God had bled. What did that mean?

It meant he was merely powerful, not invincible! As long as it could bleed and take damage, it could be killed! This was a universally accepted concept among all mankind!

If you were powerful, then you had better remain powerful forever. The moment you showed even a hint of weakness, you would suffer comprehensive, endless bombardment!

Once this thought surged forth, the light known as Faith bloomed in everyone's hearts!

"You truly are a madman. Yahweh actually let a lunatic like you become the Pope? Your sect won't last long!" What Kuchamama could see was a much clearer picture: this Pope had simply gathered an endless amount of Wish Power and recklessly vented it out as offensive energy!

This was certainly a completely insane action, because the amount of waste generated by such reckless venting was practically immeasurable!

Even a God could not possibly waste power in such a manner, yet this opponent had done exactly that. This was the fundamental reason Mario could stand against him. Those Believers from all over the world were his true source of confidence!

"That is why you are not a God. You are merely a False God who bleeds!" Mario declared. George had already set the stage for him, so he naturally had to stand on the moral high ground to suppress the False God before him.

Kuchamama was thoroughly enraged. Being branded a False God time and time again placed too much pressure on him, completely bankrupting his plan to plunder divine faith in this world. "I will annihilate your Church! I will make it so that all of your Souls can only wail in agony beneath my feet!"

"The Lord will not permit your existence, nor can you steal our Souls. A False God is just a False God. No matter how much you feign strength, it is all an illusion!" Mario perfectly maintained his stance, continuing to strike at the other party's psyche. "Can a God that bleeds even be considered a God?"

"Rumble!" The ocean waters surged and dark clouds blanketed the sky. Terrifying energy rolled, released, and poured down across the entire area!

Kuchamama's explosive fury was naturally not incompetent rage, but rather the complete unleashing of his authority over the sea. Beside him, the surging seawater abruptly turned pitch-black, emitting a horrifying roar as it condensed and gradually merged into a specific shape.

Those were three incomparably massive Sea Giants, each standing hundreds of meters tall. Within this space, they heavily oppressed the minds of everyone watching!

"I am the God of the Ocean, the emissary of the sea, and the Creator God of these waters!" Kuchamama's voice rang out, carrying an overwhelmingly powerful might that brokered no doubt.

If people had seen this scene prior to this moment, they would have felt nothing but endless despair, because their attacks would be utterly useless against these giants standing over a hundred meters tall. But now, after Mario had appeared and blocked all incoming strikes, the mentality of the masses had already shifted. They might still fall into despair, but at the very least, it would only be after Mario was defeated.

A Transcendent Being willing to step forward provided a massive boost to the collective Faith of humanity. They were all waiting, praying for this Pope's victory!

Mario even pointed his finger directly at Kuchamama. Under the watchful eyes of everyone across the globe, he delivered the most powerful declaration of all the people of Earth: "Now, in the name of the Pope of the Roman Catholic Holy See, in the name of the leader of Christianity, and in the name of the Lord of this world, I hereby pass judgment upon you—a False God from an Otherworld!"

"I judge you as—an otherworldly evil spirit!"

He raised his hand, and the radiance of the holy sanctuary wreathed around him. An even more torrential strike surged forward once again, manifesting into a warhammer of holy light that viciously smashed toward Kuchamama!

At this very moment, the scene seemed to freeze:

Three gigantic Sea Giants flanked the crystal-like False God, Kuchamama, swinging their massive fists down at the surface of the sea before them!

Meanwhile, the eighty-year-old Pope stood upon the water. Facing such a formidable enemy, he showed absolutely no fear and continued to fight back with all his might. Before him, the colossal warhammer of holy light formed a sacred cross, making him look just like a Celestial God!

This image was etched into the hearts of nearly everyone present, and for a very long time to come, it would be revered as the "Sacred Judgment"!

Because a scene like this was truly far too impactful. A lone holy figure standing against a terrifying Evil God—such a narrative would be incredibly popular no matter the era!

...

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! This world truly is full of talented individuals!" Watching Mario's attack, even Bai Yang was astonished. "This particle beam disintegration technology was actually unleashed by a member of the Clergy? Physics as we know it is about to cease to exist!"

He wore a smile on his face. "It's making me rewrite my own script. This Pope is seriously strong!"

"Crown, this proves that they have already forged their own path. You should be pleased!" Alvin noted.

Bai Yang was naturally very pleased. "Yes, I am delighted. Therefore, I have decided to give them a little reward. The Church deserves a reward like this; they are the most resolute when it comes to Proselytizing!"

"Let the Church's god-slaying event become the defining milestone of this era! Let the entire world know just how terrifying a religion can be when its power is fully united!"

The reason Bai Yang was so happy was that this strike, which had practically reached the Divine Plane in terms of power, did not originate from a God, but from Mario himself.

This meant that his taste was not wrong. The world before his eyes truly harbored infinite possibilities!

If they could strike down the Puppet God he had molded, then they could strike down those even more powerful, anomalous Gods in the future. Naturally, such capability had to be rewarded!
