”RISE!”
Suddenly, rain, storms, and all kinds of natural phenomena appeared on the ruined island.
Time seemed to reverse as the destroyed island attracted each other like a magnet, forming a complete piece.
The trees, rocks, and mountains soon formed again, regaining their former beauty.
The stronghold that had just been destroyed returned to its pristine condition as if it were newly built.
The believers who were still alive felt their bodies rejuvenated to their peak.
Their old injuries, ailments, anything that prevented them from achieving their full potential disappeared like a miracle.
Finally, those who died in the rampage of the Cosmic Behemoth rose from the death, defying the laws of the world.
Their bodies were pieced together like a puzzle, as their souls and spirits were snatched from the void and put into the newly formed bodies.
“Huh?”
“I can move?”
“I’m still alive?”
“I’m not dreaming? I’m still alive!”
“Wow, I’m still alive!”
“Praise the God! Thank you for giving me another life!”
“Praise the Almighty God for giving us another chance to see your glory!”
“Praise the Omnipotent God for letting me see this beautiful world again!”
Noticing that they could move, see, hear, and feel, the crowd cheered as their faith in their God skyrocketed.
This time, they really felt the power of God.
Taking and giving life with ease, like a snap of fingers.
“No, it’s not the Gods who granted you another life!”
Suddenly, a yell brought them back to reality.
Looking at the one who dared to shout such presumptuous words, denying the power of Gods, they couldn’t help but be shocked.
“Divine Priest!”
“Divine Priest Looyt! You’re still alive!”
The believers of the God of Shadow shouted in happiness upon seeing their Divine Priest still alive.
“So it’s the Divine Priest of the Shadow God!”
“Why does the Divine Priest say it’s not the Gods who granted us additional life?”
“Has the Divine Priest deviated from Divine beliefs and turned into the path of the devil?”
They couldn’t believe that a Divine Priest himself was the one who disregarded the power of God.
It’s like hearing a priest who once praised God’s omnipotence and goodness suddenly say that God is stupid and evil.
“Although I hate to admit it, it’s His Majesty who granted us additional life…” Looyt said wryly.
“His Majesty?!”
“The Emperor of the Westle Empire?!”
They suddenly looked at the man above, watching them playfully as if observing a show.
“How could a mere mortal resurrect us from death?”
“Only the Gods could do this!”
Unlike the knowledgeable Divine Priests.
These believers were ignorant, blindly believing that only their God was almighty and no one else.
Although the Emperor of the Westle Empire was indeed stronger, showing power beyond mortal.
They believed it was still a far cry from the God they believed in.
Looking at the stubborn fellows, Looyt couldn’t help but feel a headache.
He also just wanted to attribute their resurrection to the miracle of the Gods.
But seeing the Emperor of the Westle Empire silently looking at them.
Looyt felt that if he didn’t solve this, they would die here and now.
For a man who could snatch them from death, throwing them back was just as easy.
Finally, after a few minutes of soft and tough persuasion.
The believers somehow believed that the Emperor was the one who resurrected them from death.
However, as they looked for their Divine Priest, doubts emerged.
“Where is our Divine Priest?”
Looyt also reacted and noticed the other three were not present.
Not finding the answer, they unconsciously looked at the Emperor of the Westle Empire.
“Don’t you want to see proof? Just wait…” Khan lightly smiled.
The Divine priest and some others died strangely.
It seemed that their fate was cut off, and even their soul and spirit was shattered.
Fortunately, it had only been a few minutes.
The shattered fragments of their soul and spirit were still not assimilated by the world.
Otherwise, even if he poured all his power into resurrecting them, there would be nothing he could do.
Just resurrecting them, Khan needed over a thousand times more energy than usual.
If the time elapsed longer, maybe even the Amalgamation of Will produced by all of the Westle Empire would not be enough.
If not for wanting to prove his power and boost morale, he wouldn’t even waste his energy to resurrect these Divine Priests.
Soon, the people killed by Nathan came back from death, still showing apparent fear on their faces.
“I- I’m alive…”
“Huh~ What a monster!”
Even after coming to terms with the fact that they were still alive.
The fear they had for Nathan was still imprinted.
It seemed that they would die again as long as Nathan saw them.
Finally, with some comfort and persuasion, they managed to calm down.
The other believers also fully believed that the Emperor of the Westle Empire was the one who revived them.
Looking at their saviour, the admiration in their eyes overflowed as their belief in their Gods wavered.
“We thank Your Majesty for your grace!”
“We hope You forgive us for our ignorance, not knowing the height of the sky!”
Hundreds of people bowed, showing their sincerity.
As they say, life is the greatest gift.
For the one who gave them their second life, all they can offer is their utmost sincerity.
To them, the Emperor of the Westle Empirewas like their second parent, their second God, who gave them a chance to see this world again.
“It’s my responsibility to ensure the life of my mighty warriors so they can continue fighting,” Khan softly said.
“We will do our best to fight for Your Majesty!” They shouted. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ovl_Fir.et
This is their duty, to fight.
Thus, hearing the Emperor acknowledge their bravery, they couldn’t help but feel recognized.
“Hmm, Good!”
“Now it’s time to fight back!”
“Destroy the enemy that once killed you!”
“Take back their land, and take what is rightfully ours!”
“But Your Majesty, the enemy’s strength…” Looyt said silently.
Right now, the enemy massively overpowers them.
First, the puppets were suppressed by the Moonlight Empire Army, that they barely able to fight back.
As for them, the believers of the Three Gods.
The massacre that just happened proved how fragile they were.
Without the Emperor of the Westle Empire’s help, attacking the Moonlight Empire would be suicide.
“Don’t worry, this time I have your back…” Khan smiled slightly.
After reaching perfect mastery of the Amalgamation of Will.
His control over it could already change the wind of war to his discretion.
The revival of the believers just now was only one of its capabilities.
An overwhelming enemy in the face of his immortal army was nothing to fear.
…
Three months passed by, and the Westle Empire finished sorting out its internal problems.
After almost half a year of chaos, they were ready to march to the Moonlight Empire again.
It’s been over a year and a half since Maximus disappeared.
The premonition Khan had was getting stronger and stronger.
Khan even disregarded his contempt for the Gods and fully cooperated with them like in the beginning.
Whatever they needed, whatever they wanted, all kinds of conditions were approved to accelerate the process of war.
The only thing different was the respect and admiration of those believers.
They seemed fully integrated into the Westle Empire, with the Emperor in their utmost hearts.
Khan also noticed this and just smiled.
Having an instant army that was his own was too good to be true.
Sometime in the future, if these people truly wanted to be with him.
Khan wouldn’t mind disregarding the face of those Gods and fully take these believers as his people.
As for the citizens of the Westle Empire, Khan was also helpless.
The all-out war started too early.
With hundreds of trillions of people, not even a few thousand in his Empire reached tier 7.
Tier 7 was barely enough to interfere with the war right now.
Unless he had the quantity of the Moonlight Empire, which had hundreds of thousands, if not millions.
These people of his who reached tier 7 couldn’t be used in the war.
The Amalgamation could only get them this far in a short period of time.
As for using quantity-type weapons of war like the Arcane Cannons of the Moonlight Empire, Khan was also helpless.
He was not as rich and resourceful as Maximus.
His connections were limited, such that even if he had money, no one would sell him a thing.
Thinking of the Moonlight Empire, which had thousands of tier 8 powerhouses and millions of people who reached tier 7.
Khan couldn’t help but feel a bit jealous.
Fortunately, he had these stupid and cute believers of the Gods under him.
Hundreds of thousands of tier 8 powerhouses and billions of tier 8 puppets.
With the cooperation of the Amalgamation of Will, the Moonlight Empire would surely be finished this time.
As for their trump cards and whatnot, they were all fragile under his immortal army.
“Heh, let’s see how long you can last this time…”
