Chapter 1200: Annihilation

Chapter 1200: Annihilation

Thief God Milton had just left Pass City for a few hours. He was flying in the air and was searching for a place to land. Meanwhile, he was just notified that a true believer of his died. With the worship passageway in place, it was very easy for him to pay attention to this.

There was another explanation, actually, and that was that he just had too few followers to not pay attention to each and every one of them. If it was any other divine spirits like the Moon Goddess or divine spirits who had a tremendous number of followers, they wouldn't bother giving any personal attention to any followers until something special was to come up. This was exactly the case for Abel. The number of followers he had connected to his druid spirit was about several thousand or more. Deaths happened among them on a daily basis, but he would only consider those as natural phenomena and not something he needed to actively interfere with.

Thief God Milton was different in this regard. The follower was still very young. In fact, almost all his followers were quite young. Thieves usually changed jobs once they reached a certain age. By that point, the faith would no longer continue, and even if there was anyone that still devoted faith to him, they would just not be as solemn in their practice.

Amidst the central temple of the Nation of God, the Saint was still sitting amidst the temple. His eyes were fixated on a statue that was newly built. Even today, the faith power continued to circulate, and there was still quite some time for the entire figure to be transformed.

Every time the Saint looked at the angelic figure, he would think of the despicable thief and of the thief god. Very recently, he began to borrow some divine power from the guardian wings to help the intelligence agencies with their search. Today, especially, was the day that they identified a thief that could very likely be the culprit who stole the angelic figure.

There were a lot of conditions to track spirits through their followers. For instance, the divine spirits could just not be in the Nation of God. There was a lot of anti-detection work done in the state, so it was pretty much an impossible job to locate any divine spirits that were there. To find any divine spirits, it would only be possible if there were divine spirits that were also inside the Nation of God. By that logic, in order to track the divine spirits from their followers, the followers had to be connected to the divine spirits for a set period of time to leave any tracks. Of course, the trace would be at the location in which the connection was formed and not the actual location of the divine spirit.

When the Saint thought about the situation of Thief God, he would switch on the divine passageway at all times and perform a soul tracking on the followers that were captured over on the central continent. The price for this would be the lives of the followers, but the Saint was too angry to care if the Thief God was going to come for revenge. He would track down the Thief God at any cost.

Knight Maugham was holding a strange-looking contact circle in his hand, "We got him, Master ."

It was not a magic stone that the contact circle was powered by. It was powered with divine power, and only divine power could penetrate through the blockage of the Doomsday wall. Now that the Nation of God had lost so much of its holy crystal, this had to be as wasteful as it could be. This also reflected just how much the Saint cared for this. They had to find the Thief God at any cost.

The Saint said with a serious tone, "We must borrow your divine power to find the Thief God!"

Under the protection of the guardian wings, a golden light dropped and fell on the contracted circle that was powered by divine power. Inside an underground room inside a city, in front of a contact circle, Milton's followers were tied to the ground. They had no idea what just happened. One of them was just ready to find a new victim, but he was knocked unconscious. He woke up and came here immediately. There was nobody in the room. The only item present was the contact circle that was in front of him.

He didn't understand why he was kidnapped. He was a nobody. He managed his life mostly by stealing, but he never managed to scourge enough to make a saving. He didn't understand what reason someone would do this to him. Even if it was someone that he stole from, the most he would expect would be a beating.

While the man was still thinking, a golden light flashed out of the contact circle in front of him. The golden light rushed towards him. He wanted to doge, but he had no way of doing so. The golden light continued to enter into his soul. Following that, as though he was a barrel of oil lit on fire, his body immediately exploded.

During this instance, the golden light also found out Milton's location. It was a while ago. Thief God Milton was just performing a connection to see what he wanted out of this follower. The golden light followed a trail that was hard for most to see. Under the influence of divine power, the starting point of the worship passageway was just found.

During this time, like a watermelon that had just exploded, the content inside the follower's head streamed towards every corner of the underground basement. Inside the central temple of the Nation of God, a look of joy just appeared on the Saint's face. He just received a notification from the divine power. Thief God Milton was found. He thought that some more hints were needed, but it appeared that he was wrong.

He spoke again, "We'll borrow your divine power to open these guardian wings."

Once again, a golden light rushed out of the guardian wings. This time, however, a teleportation portal was just opened in the hallroom. The location that Milton left just opened up a teleportation gate. A lot of divine power was used up, but he didn't care. He wanted revenge for the divine spirit he worshiped. It was not excusable, in any case, to steal from a temple. As long as he was spending some more attention to his followers, he believed that it was possible to make a return.

The Saint bowed to the three sacred knights in hoodies, "Please, you three."

The three sacred knights nodded. After that, they quickly sped up and became shadows that rushed into the teleportation gate. At the same time, Wizard Larking, who was just guarding the doomsday wall, also changed his expression. He couldn't believe the message that he just saw.

"Special alarm! Special alarm!"

He placed his hand on a contact circle that was nearby. He activated it and screamed as loudly as he could. This was the highest level of alarm the Wizard Union could send, and even a legendary wizard like him would have no right to participate.

He was starting to make a guess. Maybe the Nation of God was just about to have a full-scale war with the central continent. Why else would they send figures of this level? If he had other things to worry about, he was more concerned with what could be over the marked location to allow three strong men to be sent over there.

Wizard Larking screamed, which made the Wizard Union headquarters quite nervous. The five screams just activated the five shutdown rooms that were stored inside the underground basement. Inside the shutdown room, five wizards were just floating inside the rooms. They were just woken up by the siren. As soon as they opened their eyes, a light trembling was what happened at Wizard Union headquarters.

Inside Pass City, ignorant commoners were still carrying on with their ordinary lives. An event was just being held in the city central hall. Everyone, whether old, young, men, or women, were just smiling as they participated in their events. Everyone was quite happy, and no one knew that a disaster was just about to fall.

A little boy had snacks in his hand. While he was having his time eating it, a strange door emerged beside him. This door was made entirely out of gold. The shape was oval. The boy had no idea what was happening here. He was very curious when he wanted to touch the portal that just appeared.

Meanwhile, everyone else was also just noticing that a teleportation door appeared. Most people had no idea what this was. They had very confused looks on their faces, but some class holders called out as they realized what this was.

As soon as they were about to make a scream, a foot was just stepping outside the teleportation door. A terrifying suppressive presence was just being emitted.

The area was immediately silenced. Everyone stopped moving. The boy's hand was just a bit away from reaching the door that he was so curious about. On the one hand, a regular person's face was seen to be full of surprise. Some class holders dropped their jaws. It was like the world was dead silent.

Following that, a man in a long robe walked out of the teleportation gate. Two men in the same costumes also came out. Everyone collapsed as they all lost control of their muscles. The suppressive power appearing was just too much for any of them.

One of the three sacred knights spoke, "I felt a divine spirit here!"

The other one said, "I'll seal up the city. We're not letting him out."

As they spoke, he slammed on the teleportation door with his hand. Divine power was just transpired from the teleportation portal. The divine power was just converted into a streak of golden light to surround the entire Pass City.

Having made the necessary preparations, the three sacred knights went in their ways in three different directions. Everywhere they went by, with their bodies as the center, every living being within the range of several thousand meters was killed by having their souls crushed. Pass City was not a big city at all, so it only took several tens of seconds for the three sacred knights to meet up again.

"We let him away. Get back, or the Wizard Union will be here soon!"

"It's a shame."

"Look for another other chance in the future."

The three sacred knights made some complaints as they stayed afloat in the air. They then rushed towards the direction of the teleportation portal. They did not care that the entire city was just decimated because of what they did. Even the small animals died. Yes, that was just how severe the consequences were for legendary figures to unleash their presence in the conventional world.

Once the three sacred knights walked to the front of the teleportation gate, they looked up towards a sky that was further away.

One of them spoke, "The Wizard Union's already here, but we can't fight them. What a shame!"

The other one replied, "Wouldn't take much time to start a war with them, anyways."

The other one reminded, "Leave! We're wasting too much divine power already."

What he said just made the other two go quiet. They all flashed into the teleportation gate. Just when the teleportation portal was about to vanish, the golden light that was high and above also disappeared. At the spot where the teleportation gate disappeared, five elderly wizards appeared. It was a rare sight to see them so old because wizards would usually keep the looks of when they just became official wizards, so not many of them would look like they were in their older years.

These five were different. They had white hairs and white bears. When they arrived, their feet did not make a landing at all. They made sure to just be a bit away from the floor. Unlike the three sacred knights, they made their appearances very discrete.

An elderly wizard said with a hoarse voice, "Let the WIzard Union search this as quickly as they could. We must find out why they are assaulting Pass City!"

Although Pass City was already massacred by now, it was actually the Nation of God that suffered a greater loss. The amount of divine power and strong soldiers deployed were just too much compared to the low-tier class holders and common people that were killed here. Although the Nation of God would always get their regular supply of divine power, this was by no means a sustainable thing to do for them.

For the five elderly wizards, they just found it strange that the Nation of God would go this far as to just decimate a middle-sized city. If they were not awakened from their sleep, actually, he would just come here earlier and keep the three sacred knights at bay. In this sense, for the Nation of God to send so many over here, they had to go through a lot of risks.

One elder wizard was not content at all, "What are the intelligence agency doing? They didn't bother to send an alarm! Nothing!"

If the preparation was done a bit earlier, perhaps the Nation of God could just suffer a lot more loss. For the three sacred knights that were here, if any was to remain, the power of the Nation of God could just be lowered to a better extent.

An elderly wizard witnessed how terrible things became, "Let's have the Wizard Union collect the corpses. These awful lots! They didn't spare the children!"

Very quickly, the five elderly wizards disappeared. Ten-something minutes later, the teleportation circle that was inside the city started flashing out, one by one. A large number of wizards from the Wizard Union appeared. As soon as they appeared, they were all terrified of the devastation that took place here. Some of them had known about the cruelties of war, but none of them had ever seen an entire city's population killed.
