The priests looked so calm and rexed wheered the church, and the padins were so bored they were looking at the sky with little to no thoughts in their heads. Ohey received a message from their gods about what I did, it seemed they paheir etle world shattered, and it came alongside the very screams of the gods themselves, whom I hurt quite a lot. More than I imagined my little mischief would cause.
I could see the same messages they could. Somehow, when I ed that pill taining fragments of the system itself, my e with it was heightened. I could easily spy on the system status of others and even the windows they could see.
[The Tod {Brilliant Mother of Light} is furious and screaming in agony!]
[The Tod {Lord of Deep Darkness} is groaning in utter fury!]
[Using their authority as the gods of the first floor, they quickly ask all members of the church to eliminate [Pyer: Katheri all costs!]
[A bounty has bee for her head! The bounty will increase over time as mods add their resources.]
[Current Bounty]: [100.000.000 Credits] [Divine on Choice Ticket (SSS Grade)] x1 [Divine Armor Choice Ticket (SSS Grade)] x1 [Divine Accessory Choice Ticket (SSS Grade)] x1 [The Favor, Blessings, and the possibility of being the Avatar of both the {Brilliant Mother of Light} and {Lord of Deep Darkness} at the same time.]
It appears these Gods are quite eager for my head. How amusing this is. I’ve never had this much fun since my earlier years as a Mortal Cultivator, where I had to pn the assassination of many bandits and slowly take them down while hiding. It was a slow yet very satisfying process. And bandits often had many stashed treasures, so it was always o steal all the things they stole beforehand.
“Kill her! You must kill her this very instant! She’s a sinner! Someone who dared to hurt oddess and od!" The pope stepped in from a room behind the chamber where people could ge csses. He looked fat and was wearing white and golden robes, with a ade of gold decorated with jewels. “Padins! Priests! Surround her! Eliminate her now!”
As swiftly as he said such words, a dozen Padins, whose Levels were between Level 150 and Level 230, surrounded me. The priests were between Level 150 and 180, and the Pope was Level 300; despite looking like a zy old geezer, he had leveled up a lot.
“Katherine! What happened?!” My mother cried.
“Big sis?!” My sister cried.
“Oh, are you reted to her? Kill them too; you might as well!” Laughed the pope as the Padins rushed towards them.
CLASH!
However, their ons only hit a semi-transparent barrier of rainbow light. Photon essehered within my fiips as I poihem against the Padins that were trying to break the barrier proteg my family.
“Those who dare hurt my family deserve no mercy. {Photon Spear}”
Spears of golden, blinding light pierced the heads of three Padins in a sed. They were uo react at all; their entire heads were blowing up into pieces. Their brains and guts spttered on the church’s floor as their lifeless bodies took a few seds to fall onto the floor, as if incapable of believing they died so easily.
“W-Wha…? D-Don’t let her kill you! Quickly! Attack her as I seal her! {s of Sanctification}!”
The pope gasped, his eyes widening as he was uo believe what he was seeing. A sed ter, tless golden s attempted to pierce through my barrier and catch me, trying to seal me. I amused them as I deactivated my barrier to show them how strong I was.
“Hahaha! I got you, you sinful woman! Now prepare yourself to-”
“Cute s.”
I touched them with my hands, imbuing them with Immortal Essen rge quantities without even using Photon Essehe Immortal Essence flowed into the Level 300 Pope’s body through his e with the magic s, overcharging his body with a powerful energy he couldn’t trol or assimite.
“Uuuaaaggghh!”
“POPE!”
The priest and the padins panicked, attag me with magid sword teiques, yet my body and dress were unscathed no matter how many attacks reached me.
“Your pope is nothing but a walking bag of grease; look as he explodes like the balloon he is.”
I flicked my fingers, and the Pope’s entire body started to swell until he became twice as rge, with blood and light ing from his eyes and mouth, until his skin started to be torn apart. His body ultimately exploded into a mass of flesh, blood, grease, innards, and broken bones.
BOOOM!
“Y-You monster…!”
The priests started stepping back as they hid behind the padins, who were also trembling in horror. However, they were not giving up. Their rage and frustration knew no bounds. Their eyes were fring with the io aveheir fallen ones.
“You think we’ll let you touch us?!”
“Get off me!”
I heard my mother and my sister fighting. My mother used her spear teiques and her metal martial arts to pummel down a Level 180 Padin with ease. And then she broke his mandibles with a powerful punch, using her fists, ented with her Metallic Skin martial arts.
BAAM!
“Katherine’s not alone here! If you’re trying to kill her, yoing to pass through us, fuckers! If you mess with my daughter, you mess with her mother too!”
Ruby used her newfound strength, and bck fmes covered the bodies of the priests. Their light was uo dispel the fmes, burning them to a crisp as they agonized. Incredible. I didn’t expect the two of them to be so merciless. Perhaps my mother, but my sister?! I guess in this world, you ’t survive if you’re i anymore.
“How are they s?! That woman is only Level 100, and that girl is only Level 23!”
“It doesn’t matter; keep them in check!”
“The pope’s dead, but we are still not do! I’ll use it! I don’t care anymore, you sinful monster!”
One of the priests, probably sed in and, started sweating nervously. He suddenly grabbed a golden reli his hands, activating it in a hurry as he spoke with disbelief. A wave of pure divine golden light surged from the entire surroundings, reag the skies like a golden pilr.
[The Priests of the Church of Light and Darkness have Summohe [Divine Angelic Spirit: Lv500 (SSS Rank)] to battle!]
[The [Divine Angelic Spirit] rapidly desds from the Domain of the Goddess of Brilliand Light!]
FLASH!
A gigantigelitity desded from the clouds, rapidly rushing down. I was able to easily see it as there was a huge hole in the beam of light left behind in the church’s ceiling. I suppose they were not going to care about the entire pce gettiroyed.
“The sinful… shall perish!”
As the entity spoke, its hundreds-meter-tall body rapidly moved from the clouds down into the ground, shaking the ey of Nexus. Panicked low-level pyers ran away from the church a while ago, but more of them started esg once a Level 500 monster appeared.
“Hahahaha! You will die no matter what against such a powerful being! They’re direct servants of oddess!” The priest ughed a sed before I blew his head off with a single needle of Photon energy pierg his forehead.
SPLAT!
“So noisy…” I looked at the other priests and the padins who were still aiming at my family. I waved my hands and released a wave of Photon Energy. “Know your pce.”
The wave swiftly pierced through their entire bodies, and their screams reverberated across the entire church as the wave destroyed the pilrs and made them fall apart over their corpses. I made sure to leave not a single member alive. After the offense of not only deg they were going to kill me but that they attempted to attack my mother and my sister, there is no pce for fiveness.
“I am a merciful venerable, but I know when to not give mercy to the wicked.” I floated in midair as I looked into the skies, greeting the entity, whose tless eyes started charging hundreds of beams of light. “Are you truly pnning to destroy the ey, Goddess? You sure don’t care about "sacrifices," isn’t it? Well, let me show you something.”
Hundreds of beams of holy light were immediately fired against me and the city. I could easily tell they were charged with the divine power of their goddess. I believed that the city retty and lively enough to deserve prote. I expanded my {Primordial Nine Heaven Prote} into a domain that enpassed the ey, proteg it from a myriad of explosions of light.
I uhed my Yin and Yang sword after making sure my mother and my sister were outside the church’s rubble. I was just slightly tired and still shocked about the events, but they were fine. For me, this was just an everyday squabble in Murim, but for these people, I suppose it is more surprising.
“Let’s see, how do you wao cut you up?”
“Die, sinner!”
The giant Divine Angelic Spirit spread out its titanigs, releasing more beams of light against me. All while it trated its divine light into two gigantic swords of divine holy light. Then, it swiftly swung them against me, attempting to eh these two strikes.
“There is no element that I know the most than light... It is the element that makes me who I am, and it is the element that apanied me through my life as I grew stronger aually surpassed the Venerables themselves.”
CRASH!
Both swords struck my body at the same time, but just as quickly as they hit me, they shattered into pieces, being particles of light and disappearing. My eyes shoh rainbow light as I directed my gaze toward the monstrous entity in front of me.
“Light ’t possibly damage me,” I expined while smiling calmly, the particles of light slowly being part of me, absorbed into my very physique. “Light is part of me. Light is my body. I am Light.”
My body glowed brightly, and my entire being became a mass of pure Photon Essence. I pointed my sword towards the entity, as all its attacks were pletely meaningless against me. I swung my sword once, a horizontal ssh was unleashed, and darkness and light sshed the entity not o twice, then thrice, then four times, five times, six times, seve, ten, twenty, thirty, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand times.
“{Yin and Yang Harmonious Bde Arts}: {Endless Cycle of Harmony}”
The entity couldn’t keep up with the damage, pointlessly attempting to heal itself, only for its body to be divided into more pieces stantly. Eventually, it pletely colpsed and exploded into tless fragments of light.
BOOOM!
I gathered all the fragments of light and then absorbed them, slowly trating them into a golden, brilliant pill using my Primordial Alchemy Arts. The pill glowed with delicious light. I couldn’t tain myself, quickly eating it as well. My strength rose slightly—a fine amount of growth.
“Thank you for such a bountiful harvest, Goddess.” I looked into the skies. “I am not in the mood now, but I will go visit you ter.”
As I desded towards the city, the people looked at me with awe. I noticed most of them were looking at me as a hero. I suppose the church didn’t care about civilians dying, so when I slew a mohey summohat would have destroyed half the city, they were naturally happy. Even if my own as provoked this oute, no civilian died.
Well, except for the church members, who were all sin in cold blood, but those weren’t civilians; they were just pigs ready to be sughtered. They were so desperate to die that they asked me to end their suffering at this point.
Those who are so weak yet dare oppose a being as strong as myself probably only desire death, so I gave it to them. I hope they find pea the afterlife, away from the wicked goddess.
“Big sis!” Ruby ran to my side, hugging me. “What the hell just happened?! Did you do something to make everyone want to kill you?”
“Are you alright, Katherine?” My mother looked into my eyes, examining my face.
“I am fine, mother; don’t worry.” I giggled. “And yes, Ruby. I did something bad—really bad. You see, my iion here is to free our world. And I will go against the gods of the tower to do so. This might only bee onpce as we climb the tower. I am sorry if it surprised you, but I ’t promise you I won’t do it again. Because I will. This might happen several times, dozens, if not hundreds of more times.”
“Y-You’re really crazy… I just want to take a break now. Let’s get out of here…” My sister sighed.
“It’s better if we don’t attract a crowd; let’s go.” My mother nodded.
As we walked away hurriedly, I sehe figures tinuing to chase us.
