This sword strike brought together the power of most of the clergy on the back of the Azure Whale!

Chapter 374 Recalling the Holy Blood!

Seeing this, the twin demons couldn't help but take it seriously.

As a demon lord, his own stats are restricted to 1200, which is the maximum value for a typical high-level demon.

However, the authority granted by the will of the abyss allows him to gain the power of a layer of demonic territory, possessing a value of two thousand within the abyss's own territory.

Although this numerical boost did not come from him personally, it allowed him to break through the limitations of the Golden Seed and glimpse the realm of mythology.

"This path of order is actually tinged with some mythological meaning..." One very obvious aspect of the path of mythology is that myths can gather and collect people to obtain the power of all things.

Guilliman uses order as his core principle to unify the power of his large number of clergy, which is already starting to resemble mythology.

If Guilliman can understand the truth of numbers and his soul can be transformed within it, even if he doesn't become a saint, he can still slightly touch the realm of mythology and have a slight hope of becoming a demigod.

Unfortunately, he is a church clergyman, so this sliver of hope will probably never materialize.

This sword strike will be very powerful...

The twin demons' thoughts shifted slightly, and the shield in front of them began to change.

Alchemy is not very good at offense; it is enough to maintain a defensive posture.

However, the twin demons were taken aback the next moment, as something had changed.

"Recall!" The voice of a golden-type being issuing a decree came a step slower than the change itself.

Lotus, who finally arrived, saw Nemus's presence, but at that moment he couldn't care less about avenging his son.

Although he was determined to kill Nemus, at this moment he could be the patriarch of the Levin family, or a paladin of the church, but he could never be a father seeking revenge for his son.

and so……

The power of the recall decree truly took effect on the crucial issue of alchemy: its 'position'.

Earth, wind, water, fire, and ether, and the various elemental attributes that are combined from these, each have their own place.

These positions will also shift over time.

The slightest difference in position weakens the borrowed power and reduces the multiplier of alchemy.

The Twin Demons were in this situation. They originally used their demonic forms to determine their location in the abyss, which provided relatively intuitive information about their location.

The placement of alchemy was just right.

However, now that the location has suddenly changed, everything seems to fall apart.

Although it wasn't to the point of being harmed by alchemy, the shield's power was rapidly diminishing.

The twin demons couldn't help but marvel at the profound depth of humankind.

With a flicker, the twin demons realized that the alchemical defenses could no longer stop Guilliman's sword strike, and they tried to dodge.

However, at that very moment, a figure appeared behind the Twin Demons.

The sword in that man's hand seemed to instantly possess a power to command everything under heaven.

As he waved his hand, the elements changed accordingly, and these elements condensed tightly, forming shackles that bound the twin demons.

"Rules?!" The Twin Demons immediately recognized the identity of the person behind them: another golden-type paladin of the Azure Whale—Gotthard.

Guilliman emphasizes order, which is the doctrine of the God of Commandments. Everyone has their own responsibilities and should not do anything beyond their duties. Clergy are clergy and cannot engage in commerce, and merchants should do their business properly and not farm. Everyone should stay within their respective roles.

Rules, also one of the teachings of the God of Discipline, are essentially a set of regulations that everyone needs to follow, and are closer to the law.

In short, it is a set of rules for everything.

Gotthard and his followers believed that if all life followed these rules, the world would be at peace again.

It's just that too many people in this world ignore advice and act recklessly.

Therefore, the ruling faction wanted to focus on developing the authority of the church, gathering power, and then forcibly implementing this rule.

This philosophy is also reflected in Gotthard's sword.

With a single sword strike, everything becomes clear, and everything under that sword must obediently follow the rules.

Within these rules, the devil's rule has only one rule—death!

Demons are vile creatures unworthy of living in this world, and have no right to life whatsoever.

At this moment, the three-way attack had already taken shape.

Gotthard's sword strike restricted him, Lotus's command interfered, and Guilliman's sword strike delivered the final blow.

While these veteran Gold Saints may be neither the best nor the worst, a combined attack from three veteran Gold Saints could be fatal, even for a top-tier Gold Saint, if they weren't careful.

Moreover, what is here is not the true form of the Twin Demons, but merely a vessel he has cultivated.

It's only natural that a character with a stat of 200 would die under the combined attack of three paladins with stats close to 500...

"You can't kill me!" The twin demon's body was sliced ​​open, and powerful divine power of order filled his body.

However, even though these forces have ravaged the twin demons' bodies to the point of being riddled with holes, they have not been able to completely kill the last vestiges of life in this body.

“It’s the Holy Blood again…” Guilliman couldn’t help but regret the Holy Son Project from back then, which had left endless poison.

The twin demons' current body is not an experimental subject of the Holy Son Project.

Judging from its performance, it should be...

“My family…” Lotus’s expression also turned extremely ugly, having already recognized the origin of the twin demons’ current body.

The shattered body was 'recalled' by some force in the next moment.

The body, which was on the verge of death, was restored to health.

From this perspective, its appearance perfectly matches the efficacy of the divine secret art of 'recalling decree'.

However, the Levin family's secret techniques have never been leaked, so the current situation is naturally due to bloodline experiments.

Even divine secrets with limitations on inheritance are ultimately not as reliable as bloodline inheritance.

In particular, this secret art is related to the gods, and thus naturally carries a certain degree of sacredness.

Therefore, the Levin family began bloodline research very early on, wanting to inscribe the Recall Law into their own bloodline.

It's difficult to say whether such a thing violates any taboos.

After all, the secret technique was performed by the gods. The Levin family had only seen this secret technique a long time ago and imprinted it on their records, passing it down in some way.

Is this act of engraving it into one's bloodline blasphemous or something else? It's a matter of who has the bigger fist.

Therefore, these bloodline experiments were all conducted secretly within a branch of the Levin family.

Klu's mother was one of them.

However, the appearance of the twin demons at that time led to the death of the entire branch family.

The matter was thus dropped.

The Levin family has not given up on this matter over the years, which is why they extracted the information on the Holy Son Project.

Chapter 375 "Fall"

However, what their family had been planning for so long without success—to inscribe the recall decree into their bloodline—was now accomplished by a demon.

This made him feel utterly ashamed!

Of course, at the same time, a resolute will also arose: the twin demons must die, and preferably the demons themselves must die as a result.

Of course, it would be best if this body could be preserved!

However, Lotus knew that he was just daydreaming.

In the current situation, killing the twin demons is already extremely difficult, let alone snatching this body back from their jaws.

"Your time is running out. I still have three trump cards left." The twin demons, now reunited, chuckled, seemingly urging the church members to make their move.

"Twenty!" Even the Twin Demons had already begun the countdown.

His current situation can be described as having planned everything out.

If he doesn't die, then it will be very difficult for the warden on the ground to die. Ordinary steel creatures can't kill the warden, but he can stop those special people.

As long as the warden lives, the sacrificial rituals will never stop.

In just nineteen seconds, a projection possessing eighty percent of the original body's strength will be summoned.

When the time comes, I will definitely be able to devour this Azure Whale!

But at that moment, a light appeared in the distance, and Saint Nai's figure quickly approached, a ray of light in his hand rapidly forming a flying sword.

This sword strike seemed poised to slice the warden in two.

Saint Nai was originally just a Steel type. Although he had awakened Sainthood and his stats had broken through the limits of the Steel type, he was still just a Steel type at the moment.

The taboo surrounding the warden couldn't restrain Sanne, so he was able to kill the warden.

"Heh, I knew I couldn't stop you!" The twin demons laughed and cursed, and then suddenly more than a dozen insects crawled out of the ground.

Many of the clergy who had contact with Baiwei Town recognized these insects.

Dung beetle!

Even the adult insects are generally only around five or six points in strength. When Nemus sent three trainee paladins to deal with them, it was a normal mission difficulty.

It was only because of the Golden Medicine Refining by the Floating World Society that the whale dung beetles became slightly stronger due to the excess nutrients in the whale dung.

The mission failed because there was a traitor within the clergy.

However, these dozen or so whale dung beetles are different.

If the whale dung beetle, which undergoes three molts to become an adult, is considered to be in its mature stage, then these dozen or so are the ultimate form.

Each one is made of steel, and each one exudes a strong aura of a floating whale.

A dozen or so dung beetles huddled together, then curled into a ball and launched themselves forward, blocking the warden's path.

Within their bodies, a unique and sacred aura, completely different from ordinary things, emerged, forming a shield that blocked Saint Nai's sword strike.

At this moment, Saint Nai was in a state of sainthood. Under the perspective of truth, everything seemed so clear, and he quickly analyzed all kinds of things.

"The product of the combination of astral power and divine power, although only a partial understanding, is not so easy to defeat." Nemus already had a relatively deep understanding of floating whales because of his research on whale transformation, and now he has deciphered some of its secrets.

The floating whales are a modified species. Their origins can be traced back to the six astral whales that lived in the astral plane. Those six astral whales were modified by the gods and became the source whales, each of which is equivalent to a small material plane.

These six Source Whales all appeared in the central area, or rather, their protection formed the true central area.

That is currently the only place where there is still normal land.

The remaining floating whales were born from the six Source Whales, and they possess both some of the power of the astral plane and a great deal of the divine power of the gods.

The two forces were in a state of mutual restraint, and there was also an ominous aura in the air, which seemed to be the origin of the whale disease.

Therefore, the two forces and one aura formed a stable triangle, making the floating whale relatively stable.

Now, these dozen or so whale dung beetles have stolen some of the astral power and divine power.

They could even be called floating dung beetles.

The divine attributes descended upon them, but instead of harming them, they seemed to smell something delicious. They moved their limbs slightly, opened their mouths, and inhaled, swallowing the divine elements in one gulp.

"Fifteen!" the twin demons muttered the countdown, the demonic shadow behind them growing ever stronger and more intense.

The strong smell of sulfur spread outwards, and everything in the abyss seemed to be expanding rapidly.

The Azure Whale then let out a whale cry, its voice filled with fear.

Even if ordinary golden-type creatures used their abilities, they could only disturb the floating whale.

For example, Clement made the floating whale exhale prematurely in the Abyss of Breath.

However, the only way to truly harm a floating whale is through long-term exploitation of its body, gradually damaging it over decades or even longer.

In the process, such damage would inevitably cause discomfort to the floating whale, thus inviting retaliation from the church.

Therefore, there are not many things that can make a floating whale feel fear and dread, and the abyss is one of them.

The Azure Whale could feel the writhing tentacles of the abyss gradually entangling it, and the greedy demon lord was looking at it with a disgusting gaze.

The Azure Whale was truly panicked at this moment.
