  [Saintess of Light: Raffilia: Lv300] has utilized the [Forbidden Divine Religelicus (SSS Grade)]!]

  [Due to her strong faith and belief, she has been grahe wish to obtain a body that could match your power, evolving into the [Fallen Angel of Despair: Rafflesia: Lv600+]!]

  “Saintess Raffilia, was your name? I suppose you were quite a pretty girl before. It's a pity you’ve decided to reduce yourself to a mere puppet for yoddess.” I sighed as the angeliination rushed towards me. “Does yion e with being brainwashed fanatics?”

  “I am not brainwashed; I am willingly serving my goddess! She is my everything, my light, my salvation, my world!” The monstrous angelic creature rushed down.

  With a barrage of powerful d-kick attacks, explosions of blinding light were unleashed. I quickly jured up my Nine Heaven Barrier, not to protect myself but our surroundings. I trapped her and every other church member ihe barrier, isoting the world outside from our battle.

  “You hit really hard, but far from ever paring to an immortal’s strength.” I sighed. “I suppose not even Level 600 pare to immortals. Anyways, how high do your levels go?”

  “SHUT UP!”

  Raffilia was utterly baffled after seeing that her attacks dealt no damage. She quickly raised her arms as her wings spread out, opening tless goldehe eyes gathered mana and divinity, firing beams of golden light against me.

  “How crude.”

  I waved my hand as I blocked all hits without any issues. I quickly sprinted forward, charging my fingers with Photon Essend theing threads with this energy, which I used to around her wings.

  “{Photoni Threads}”

  SLASH!

  The threads cut through the wings as I moved faster than lightning, and the angeliination colpsed on the ground, uo fire her annoying sers or fly anymore. She quickly attempted tee the wings again, though.

  “GRAAAH!”

  She gave out a loud, furious cry, so loud and powerful that it made all the other church members scream in agony. Their ears started bleeding, and many even died on the spot. That must have been some sort of skill. Naturally, nothing happeo me. I’ve heard first-stage immortals talk louder than that.

  “You’ve killed most of your people now…” I ughed. “I assume you’re nht in your mind, huh?”

  “DIE!”

  The angeliination reached me in an instant; a barrage of explosive cw attacks, kicks, bites, and beams of light ing from her entire body came down at me. Perhaps nobody else would have been pletely torn to shreds. I doubt anybody on this floor could ever withstand so much power.

  However, for me, this was… Like taking the pyful little hits of a child.

  “e on now; this is not getting us anywhere.” I yawned, using my threads to them around her limbs. “If it wasn’t for the barrier, you would have destroyed the whole city. Does your churot care about the poor mortals? I suppose yoddess follows the Demonic Cultivator doe of ruthlessness and selfishness above all else, isn’t it?”

  As I spoke, I heard her screams of agony as my threads quickly cut all her limbs off, her entire body falling over the ground, floor spttering everywhere. Her tless eyes spread through her body, and she was uo uand how I was pletely unscathed.

  “H-HOW?! You’re not…! You’re a mere mortal—a human! How you... be so powerful?!”

  “A mere mortal? I am a primordial, someone who even surpassed immortals." I stated. “I am barely pying with you. Do you want to see a speck of what I am truly capable of? Sure, but you will die so fast you won’t even be able to savor your own agony and despair.”

  “W-Wha…?! You’re not even fighti?!” The monstrous Saintess groaned, vomiting blood.

  “Let me show you.”

  Blinding light surged from my fiips as I gathered it in the palms of my hands, geing a dozeiful rainbow-colored pearls, which quickly danced around the monstrous abomination. Intereg with one ahrough golden lightning.

  “{Primordial Rainbow Spiritual Formation}: {Bringer of Nirvana}”

  With a mere thought, the pearls overflowed with tremendous quantities of light. My foe was enpassed in an endless sea of burning light, capable of disiing most matter. Her entire body disappeared in a sed as her screams of frustration reverberated. The rainbow light surged endlessly and then slowly formed into a blossoming lotus flower.

  “May you rest in peace.”

  I gave a silent prayer as I looked around myself. The shockwave of my teique disied the rest of the people around us. All the church members of Nexus City are dead now.

  “Well, that was that.”

  I sed my clothes from the dust and opened my barrier, only to be greeted by a hundred soldiers pointing their spears toward me. There was a group of nobles anding them from behind.

  “You saw what I am capable of. Your struggles will be utterly futile. And you ot stop me either.” I spoke with a stern and loud voice. My very Immortal I making them all kneel before me. “But I know you must be afraid. However, you’re mistaken, children. I don’t io hurt any of you. Only the Church of Light sect has decred war against my family. If you don’t want to get involved, simply walk away. This is my first and only warning. I am merciful, but not enough to let fools walk over me.”

  “Y-You’re not lying?” A trembling, young blonde man with fearful green eyes muttered.

  “Yes, I am not lying.” I smiled. “What is your name, son?”

  “I-I am Augustus Nexus, the Lord of this city. Well, a young lord. My father died a few... years ago.” He muttered, incapable of even looking at me as he was kneeling before my presence. “I-I… If we leave your flict alone, we won’t get involved, right? Will the city be spared, great ranker?”

  “It will be. Also, I am not a Ranker.” I ughed, patting his shoulders. “Be at ease, son. You are safe because I do not io let any i die. The church will be taken care of, and everyone else will be safe.”

  “T-Thanks…?” He muttered, baffled by my words. “No, wait, why?! The church… What did they do to you? How could they have made such a strong pyer upset? Based on your strength, dy, you must at least be at Level 1000?”

  “Levels? I haven’t seen that, but I don’t really care either way. I am a Primordial Immemorial Venerable, cepts such as “Levels” are nothing but small eaio me. Even your “System” is a toy I like to py with to pass the time. Well, perhaps it is more of a tool now.” I smiled. “Be at ease; it will all be alright. Now, walk away, and don’t ever bother me again.”

  “W-Walk away. We are retreating." The young lord walked away without saying another word, his soldiers and the other nobles retreating too.

  “Ah, right, I might visit you ter.” I smiled at him, his back suddenly turning stiff.

  “Y-Yes? Why?” He worying to act calm.

  “I’ll o learhe rest of the churches are located within the Kingdom or Nation,” I said. “Perhaps even the ti. I will have to do a small purge- Actually, let’s do that right now. I don’t want to waste more time with future flicts.”

  “E-Eh?” Augustus was shocked as I walked by his side.

  “Lead the way, Augustus!” I smiled at him.

  “Y-Yes!” He didn’t have any other option than to agree. He was a smart young man, so he knew he had to cooperate.

  Once I entered his manor, he was greeted by a myriad of servants and family members. He was married to a red-haired maiden named Elisia and had two beautiful twin daughters. Augustus was trying his best to remain calm around them; his family had no idea what I was capable of.

  “Wow, ma’am, you’re so tall!”

  “Big! I hought human girls could get this tall. I guess it’s not just the orc warriirls.”

  “Nina, Mina, please stop annoying your father’s guest.” Elisia sighed. “I am so sorry; they’re at their age where they just want to ask about anything and explore everything.”

  “It is fine. Children must be curious and talkative; it is a good sign of them having a good and ki!” I giggled. “You’ve raised them well, Elisia. And I don’t really mind. Children are precious and i souls, which we must proted raise with the utmost care. So they grow up to bee exceptional people. You two lovely princesses ask me anything you want. And you also call me Auntie Bing Xie.” I sat down while drinking tea with Augustus' family while he went to fetch me the dots I asked him for.

  “Auntie! Why are your eyes so shiny?”

  “Auntie, auntie! Why are you so pretty? I get so pretty too?”

  “Fufu, e on, ask more slowly now.”

  I spent a few lovely minutes with these adorable twins and their very polite and her. Augustus came running after that, almost having a heart attack as he saw his daughters sitting over my thighs while toug my hair and clothes.

  “Nina, Mina! S-Stop! Don’t touch her!” He screamed, his soul almost ing out of his body.

  “Huh? What’s wrong? Daddy?”

  “Dad? Why?”

  “S-She’s… dange- Ugh!” He quickly took a step back as I stared directly into his eyes.

  “Did y the dots, Augustus?” I asked with a stern voice. Elisia quickly raised an eyebrow as she noticed I was treating her husband rather carelessly.

  “Y-Yes, here… Please… please leave us alone noill not do anything to you or your family.” He sighed, giving me all the papers. “Please spare us…”

  “Hmm.” I started reading the dots oer another. “So the real name of your world is Eclipse? Iing. There are two tis: the ti of Light, Radiant. And then there is the ti of Darkness, Umbral. Oh, and this City is part of a three-kingdom alliance, isn’t it? The only ones on this ti. All three of them have churches of light. Ten cities to visit, alright. I uand now. Thank you, Augustus. I’ll be back really soon.”

  “Y-You will?!” He cried.

  “Yes! I’ll e ba about ten minutes. It shouldn’t take lohan that.” I smiled.

  FLASH!

  I quickly disappeared at that moment, appearing above the skies of the city. I spread out all my Senses and released a wave of invisible light, enpassing the entire world. I was able to see its boundaries rather quickly. There was no space, but there was a sun and a moon.

  The entire p was being tained within some sort of Spatial stru in the shape of a spire that stretched through millions of light years. I suppose this is how worlds are assimited ihe Tower.

  “S plete.”

  I had sed the entire world to quickly be able to move through it seamlessly. By activating my Partial Spatial Manipution Skill and bining it with my {Nine-Colored Lightning Steps}, I moved through the world with ease.

  In a siep, I appeared in front of the church of the city. I stepped in, took down everyone inside who was a member, a. I also hunted down any other member who was roaming the city using my lightning.

  I repeated the same nine more times, and the entire ti’s church was utterly destroyed. It was the easiest elimination of a sect I’ve done since I was an Immortal destroying evil mortal demonic cultivator sects.

  “P-Please, spare me…! I haven’t done anything wrong! It’s not my fault that you’ve itted such sins! The goddess… is justified for her rage!” Cried the Archbishop of the church, within the Kingdom of Heavenfell. “D-Do you know what you’ve dohe church of Light is a pilr of this ti’s ey! Everything is going to go dowter! The world… everything!”

  “And that’s where you’re wrong. Your world does not need a goddess. I will free you from her s.” I smiled at him. “Ae you saying such things, the near hundred sves you kept underground would like to say otherwise!”

  My sword flew toward his head, pierg through his ten-yered holy light barrier and then striking his brain, his head blowing up into pieces. The old man was gone. And so the entire church of light from the face of the Radiant ti.

  Four areas were raising orphan children, and the nuns and the people serving those areas were quickly forced to make an oath to never persecute me again and to abandon their religion for the sake of proteg the children.

  I vihe o take care of them and the sves of the capital of Heavenfell, with a few more oaths as well. I did fight a few more divine spirits and angeliinations along the way, which gave me some precious Divinity ohey were sin.

  The archbishop in particur had a rich amount of it! He must have been the Goddess’ main avatar.

  “Y-You’ve wiped out the entire church…” The King of Heavenfell gred at me in utter disbelief.

  A tall, muscur man with a short blonde beard and sharp gray eyes. His Level was actually 700, which is surprising! He was a seasoned ranker, apparently reag Floor 30. However, he was now trembling in horror in front of me. After all, the Archbishop was Level 750.

  “I hope we get along from now on, King of Heavenfell.” I smiled at him. “Here, this is a little present for you, as a show of goodwill.”

  “T-This is…?” He grabbed a small wooden box, opening it to reveal its insides. “Huh? Snacks? And tea…?”

  “It is a between Orthodox Famortals to gift each other their best tea leaves and snacks as a show of goodwill and panionship. Have a good time with that! I will be seeing you again one day. Take care of your Kingdom.” I gently patted his big shoulders. Despite being a tall and bulky man, I was much taller than him.

  “Y-Yes…” He nodded, his strong and bulky hands trembling as I patted his shoulders. “Thank you for… sparing all of us.”

  He gnced in disbelief as I disappeared from the se, leaving only a trail of golden light. I reappeared inside Nexus City, now ihe Adventurer’s Guild, surprising every adventurer inside. My mother and my sister were sitting around a small wooden table, drinking coffee while waiting for my return.

  “You’re finally back!” My mother said.

  “Big sis, what were you doing?! You took like half an hour!” My sister pined.

  “My apologies; things took slightly loo resolve than usual. But I’ve never felt this refreshed in a while. Now, shall we register?” I asked.

  [The Tod {The Brilliant Mother of Light}'s amount of shock, anger, frustration, sorrow, depression, wrath, hate, and vengefulness has made her pletely lose her mind.]

  [Because the amount of Faith Points that she gathered daily has dropped signifitly, her power is beginning to decrease rapidly.]

  [The Tod {The Brilliant Mother of Light} is having a stroke.]
