Chapter 1965: Water of Divine Gift

Hades displayed divine power, single-handedly killing two archbishops of the Bright Church!

By this point, all six archbishops of the Bright Church were dead!

Two died at the hands of Xiao Zheng, and the remaining four were killed by Hades!

Seeing the two archbishops slain by Hades, the remaining courage of the Bright Church’s main force disintegrated. They no longer thought about inflicting casualties on the Blood Clan experts; now, they just wanted to save their own lives.

However, as they became more desperate, the casualty numbers for the Bright Church continued to rise.

Luckily, after half an hour, the mission time was up, and under Hades’ command, they regretfully decided to retreat. No one dared to stop them and could only watch helplessly as they walked away.

On the way back, Brent seemed somewhat unsatisfied: "Your Highness, I think we should have been given more time. In just ten more minutes, we could have wiped out the rest!"

The others nodded in agreement, their faces full of excitement.

Since the war began, the Bright Church had been pressing hard against the Blood Clan, and the consecutive defeats had left them disheartened. Today, under Hades’ leadership, they finally tasted victory, and some were reluctant to leave the battlefield.

Upon hearing this, Hades said, "If you want to go back, I won’t stop you. But don’t blame me for saying the ugly truth upfront; going back now would be like marching to your deaths."

"If you don’t believe me, just turn back and take a look."

Just as they returned to the main peak of the Kash Mountains, they couldn’t help but look back.

Through the smoke and fire of war, they could clearly see a large number of reinforcements from the Bright Church rushing in.

"There really are reinforcements!"

"Good thing we retreated in time; otherwise, with so many of them, we would never have escaped safely!"

Surprise flickered across their eyes, quickly followed by a sense of relief.

Hades said, "This is to be expected; after all, we were dealing with the Bright Church’s main force. They naturally value it highly. When the camp is attacked, they will immediately send support."

"Alright, enough banter for now. Once back, none of you should let your guard down."

"Because next, we’ll be facing an even stronger offensive from the Bright Church!"

Everyone felt a sense of seriousness and nodded one after another.

Without further words from Hades, they dispersed.

As for Hades, he returned to the Netherworld King Temple with Brent.

This night filled with gunpowder and blood finally passed.

After the Bright Church reinforcements tallied the casualties, everyone was shocked!

Because last night’s battle resulted in over twenty thousand casualties on their side! Out of a main force of only sixty thousand! The Blood Clan wiped out a third of their numbers in one battle!

Such a terrifying casualty number sent a chill down the spines of the reinforcements!

The battle report quickly spread throughout Europe, shocking all major factions.

Nobody had expected Hades’ counterattack to be so fierce and unexpected. While this battle didn’t cripple the Bright Church, it added an element of uncertainty to the war.

People no longer believed that the Bright Church was the inevitable victor of this war.

The strength of the Blood Clan had gained recognition from many!

Meanwhile.

In the Holy Land of the Church, Pope Charles also received the battle report from the front line.

When he learned that Hades had led the Blood Clan experts to kill nearly twenty thousand of their main force near the Kash Mountains, he angrily smashed the newly restored temple.

"This is outrageous!"

"Netherworld King Hades, do you really think I don’t dare to come to the Netherworld King Temple to find you?"

From the ruins of the temple, Charles’ angry voice slowly echoed.

The Divine Servants kneeling on the ground did not dare to speak.

It was unclear how much time passed before Charles finally calmed down. With a flick of his finger, he burned the battle report in his hand to ashes. Without a word, he walked slowly towards the depths of the Holy Land of the Church.

This was the forbidden area of the Bright Church, known as the Judgment Temple.

The twelve Holy Temple Knights who protected the many Saint Heirs were born from this Judgment Temple.

Charles entered the temple, which contained only a pool sculpted from gold.

The pool looked as if moonlight flowed through it, with water glistening like silver.

This was the divine water bestowed by the Light God, a treasure left to the Church and the reason why the Bright Church could possess so many experts. Charles used this pool of divine water every year to cultivate experts for the Church.

After so many years of use, the divine water was almost depleted.

"Hades!"

"If not for you, this divine water could have lasted another hundred years at least! But because of you, our Bright Church lost four archbishops!"

"Do you know how much divine water it takes to cultivate one Supreme Realm expert?"

Charles roared in the Judgment Temple as if Hades were standing right in front of him.

Looking at the nearly depleted pool, his anger was matched by a sense of heartache.

Though divine water was precious, Charles had no choice.

He now urgently needed strong allies to help share the burden of the war. Otherwise, even handling Hades alone would be difficult. Not to mention Xiao Zheng, who was hiding in the shadows.

"This time, I will capture both the Blood Clan and Sky Net completely!"

Hatred flashed in Charles’ eyes as he transferred all the divine water from the pool into bottles. When the last drop of divine water was used up, the Judgment Temple finally lost its sacred charm.

Expressionless, Charles left the temple with the divine water.

Upon returning to the main temple, he immediately summoned the six highest-ranking individuals in the Church to appear before him.

Three White Robed Elders and three Red Robed Elders.

These were the six people closest to reaching the Supreme Realm within the Bright Church.

They didn’t know why Charles had summoned them, but each displayed utmost respect without questioning.

Charles said nothing, merely dividing the divine water into six parts, handing it to them to consume.

The six quickly drank the divine water, and soon, their faces turned red before they completely collapsed to the ground.

Their auras continued to grow even in their unconscious state...
