Chapter 42: The Horse Exploded

Today, the headquarters of the Datong Church is also holding a ceremony called "baptism".

Countless people come into contact with the holy water and cleanse themselves with it.

This cleansing was performed to welcome His Majesty the Emperor's visit and to showcase the best aspects of the Church.

Therefore, even the highest levels of the church and the popes today come into contact with holy water to cleanse themselves and guide everyone to do the same.

However, holy water itself contains hallucinogenic ingredients and is a toxic substance.

Therefore, Yi Lian herself also displayed extraordinary wisdom, directly adding a little bit of the medicine found in the "Mother's" room to the total holy water.

Furthermore, by leveraging the Morphling's innate control and affinity for water, they managed to poison and contaminate the holy water.

No one noticed.

After all, Yilian is a variant spirit, a branch of the water elemental spirit. Although his control over water is not as good as his cousin, the water elemental, he can move freely in the water as if it were empty for other races.

Holy water is still water, so the pollution and poisoning he commits are difficult for humans to detect unless the water elemental spirits come in person.

Prior to this, everyone in the Datong Church who had undergone "baptism" had actually been poisoned by him as a form of insurance, and to trigger a situation where someone's fate was unknown if they escaped.

So he had already made preparations, just waiting for Li Ge to cause chaos.

As expected, the assassination of the emperor immediately threw the high-ranking members of the Datong Sect into chaos, and the entire leadership gathered together to prepare for a small meeting.

The Datong Cult was also dumbfounded. They had clearly prepared for His Majesty the Emperor's arrival today, and they wanted to show their loyalty and present a splendid image. Who knew that the Emperor would die!

In that instant, the entire empire was thrown into turmoil, and another emperor had to be elected immediately. The Great Harmony Sect naturally supported the eldest prince, so baptisms and the emperor's presence were no longer important!

The most important thing now is to seize the throne! Support the eldest prince to ascend to the throne.

The imperial succession system is extremely bloody and cruel, so they must be quick, accurate, and ruthless, ideally by tomorrow, to put the eldest prince on the throne.

However, they were unaware that at that moment, a "mother and daughter" were walking into the cathedral of their headquarters in a blatant manner.

The church of the Datong Church is very sacred. The marble dome and the exquisite murals make the whole church look sacred and majestic.

However, what puzzled both Yilian and Valerie was that the church looked even bigger from the outside, but once inside, although it was still grand, it felt very oppressive.

"The walls of the entire building are so thick that the field of vision shrinks drastically upon entering, creating a sense of oppression. It seems that this building was also carefully designed," Yi Lian said.

Valerie nodded.

Outside the church, countless believers were receiving blessings from the holy water, while inside the church, a small meeting of the high-ranking members of the Great Harmony Church was taking place. But this small meeting was the one where they decided the future direction of the empire.

"Get ready. You take charge of the initial attack, and I'll handle the cleanup," Yi Lian said directly. Then, his body gradually separated, and a tank of liquefied natural gas suddenly appeared.

They didn't have many lethal products on hand, so they could only find the medicine in their mother's room to poison her, and they could only find the liquefied natural gas in the kitchen to make bombs.

But for them, that was enough.

Yilian stores liquefied natural gas inside its body and then releases it at this time, forming several large tanks of highly compressed liquefied natural gas.

This was originally just a backup plan they had prepared to create chaos, but they didn't expect all the high-ranking officials to gather together, making them trapped like fish in a barrel.

The destructive power of an explosion in an enclosed space is vastly different from that of an explosion in a public square.

Valerie did not hesitate and immediately summoned the Holy Light Pegasus.

Previously, Li Ge and the others had been complaining that Holy Light Pegasus was actually a pretty good ability, the only drawback being that the holy light effect was too exaggerated.

When summoned, a light resembling Ultraman's transformation will appear, accompanied by sound effects, and even the Holy Light Pegasus itself will emit a soft but dazzling light.

They had been complaining about this flaw, but at this moment, it has become a strength!

"Look!"

When the believers outside who were being baptized opened their eyes, what they saw was a pegasus descending from the sky with full holy light effects.

At that moment, their eyes widened in disbelief, and they all knelt on the ground, shouting, "The gods have descended! The gods have descended!"

Such sound and light effects naturally attracted the attention of the church's senior officials, who walked out of the conference room in confusion, wanting to see what was happening outside.

However, all they saw was Pegasus, covered in liquefied natural gas, rushing towards the conference room like a dump truck.

"you……"

The high-ranking official who opened the door uttered only this one word. The next moment, the Holy Light Pegasus, like a hundred-ton king, smashed him away, shattering the conference table inside. His fate was unknown.

Without hesitation, Yi Lian instantly transformed into Li Ge and copied "Life or Death Unknown".

On Pegasus's back hung numerous liquefied natural gas canisters. Although these canisters were made from aluminum cans, the two rows of can-sized liquefied natural gas, along with some coins that had been placed inside beforehand, were enough to trigger a massive explosion.

"Heartache!" A piercing scream rang out. The leader of the Great Harmony Cult was the most decisive. He immediately realized that they had been attacked and released his instantaneous magic spell.

This is a technique that can torment enemies, plunging them into endless suffering.

However, it was too late.

On Pegasus's back, liquefied natural gas was immediately ejected. The gas vaporized instantly upon losing pressure, and Pegasus's mission was not yet complete, as it immediately burst forth with magnificent light.

These lights, however, are sparks that ignite natural gas.

"boom!"

The entire room immediately erupted in a massive explosion. In this enclosed small conference room, the power of the explosion increased exponentially, and everything in the conference room, including the coins that were originally in the soda cans, the tables, chairs, murals, lampposts, and so on, was reduced to shrapnel.

"boom!"

As the explosion rang out, Valerie knew her mission was not yet complete. She immediately shouted to the large group of followers outside, "The high-ranking members of the Great Harmony Cult have been punished by heaven; their fates are unknown!"

These guys, who were struggling to crawl out of the rubble after the explosion, suddenly died all at once.

Valerie noticed this too, and she was very excited, immediately saying, "Yilian, what's the next step!"

She knew she wasn't very bright, so she basically listened to her teammates. When Li Ge was around, she listened to Li Ge; when he wasn't, she listened to others.

However, no one responded to her words at that moment.

"Yilian, what's wrong?" Valerie suddenly came to Yilian's side, but found that Yilian had lost all her vitality and her eyes were dull.

His body began to fluctuate erratically, his transparency changed, and it seemed as if black stains were spreading beneath his skin. His eyes lost focus, and it was as if countless tiny, painful faces were flickering deep within his pupils.

When he spoke, his voice was mixed with many unfamiliar, painful wails.

She immediately helped Yilian up and found that Yilian was not in mortal danger, but rather...

curse!

She suddenly remembered the spell cast by the leader of the Datong Cult before the explosion.

"Yilian, let's go! I'll take you back right away!" She had no idea what kind of curse Yilian had been under, and now he had completely lost his mind and sense of reason. All she could do was desperately try to get him away.

However, Yilian immediately reached out and stopped her.

"Ripples..." Valerie wondered what was wrong with her companion.

Yilian went directly to the back of the gleaming statue in the church and found a blood-stained hammer.

Without saying a word, he raised the sledgehammer and smashed it hard against the statue.

The statue crumbled layer by layer, but to Valerie's horror, what was inside was not plaster or stone, but a corpse—a corpse whose facial features had been sewn back together and whose body was covered with inscriptions.
