Chapter 407 Crazy Believer

Looking at the empty ground, Richard felt a little depressed.

No longer looking at the ground, Richard, who was in invisible state, flew all the way towards his destination.

The magic power of a late-stage sanctuary wizard, combined with the various elemental powers that Richard controlled, gave him the ability to fly at high speeds that could adapt to a variety of environments.

Soon, Richard arrived at his destination.

The border of the Thousand Gods Empire.

Richard's idea was very simple. He would not be able to stop the ruling party of the Thousand Gods Empire with his own ability.

But he can delay the actions of the ruling party of the Thousand Gods Empire and buy time for the Free Federation.

A large number of troops are stationed on the border of the Thousand Gods Empire to prevent the Forsaken of God from escaping, and a magic circle is also carved to restrict space teleportation.

But this is not a problem for Richard.

Although the army was strong, they were unable to discover and stop Richard, a late-stage Sanctuary wizard.

The magic circle that limits space teleportation mainly limits long-distance teleportation. Richard's power of the law of space can still be used, but the teleportation distance has been greatly reduced.

Without alerting the border troops, Richard secretly teleported into the Thousand Gods Empire.

Unlike the somewhat desolate Free Federation, the Thousand Gods Empire is full of bustling churches and people coming to watch the blood sacrifice.

The unlucky ones who were caught were dragged to the front of the church and a blood sacrifice ceremony was held.

Whenever a God-forsaken person was killed in a blood sacrifice, there would always be loud cheers from the crowd, as if this was some big deal.

Occasionally, there were a few people who were wrongly accused and would loudly explain something to the believers surrounding them, but the fanatical believers would not listen to anything they said and instead forcibly performed blood sacrifices on these people.

To the clergy of the church, blood sacrifice is the same for everyone and can please their gods, so they will not speak for these unfortunate people.

Richard shook his head. These people were beyond saving.

Just when he was about to turn around and leave, he saw a scene that surprised him.

I saw a legendary bishop being forced by several high-ranking clergymen towards the blood sacrifice site. The bishop was not restrained in any way and just cooperated and walked towards death.

"It seems that this person has become crazy because of his belief in gods."

Richard thought to himself that as someone who possessed the Tiger God's avatar, he had also seen some crazy believers before.

When they were hungry and didn't eat, they prayed to the tiger god and begged for food.

When he was sick, he didn't go to the doctor, but prayed to the tiger god hoping that the tiger god could cure his illness.

Although the Tiger God does have this ability, he is not his servant and cannot give him whatever he wants.

In the end, the Tiger God had these people arrested and put in prison for a few months, and now someone was taking care of their food and medical treatment.

Many people changed their previous practices and returned to normal life.

Some people also think that prison is a place where the Tiger God grants them food and drink, and they live in prison with peace of mind, unable to be driven away, and become even more pious to the Tiger God.

Richard was speechless by these believers.

If it weren't for the fact that the power of faith they provided had reached the level of fanatics, Richard would not have kept them in vain.

Despite thinking this, Richard still decided to save the bishop.

This bishop possesses the strength of a legendary figure, and must know some news about the Forsaken Gods. Even if she is disheartened and wishes to die, there must be Forsaken Gods who want to recruit her and contact her secretly.

If you want to delay the Thousand Gods Empire's attack on the Free Federation and the Green Alliance, you must unite all your forces.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend.

Although the relationship between these Forsaken Gods and the Free Federation was not very good in the past, facing the blood sacrifice and life threats from the ruling group of the Thousand Gods Empire, they should be willing to cooperate with Richard.

"That's enough. Let's just sacrifice this pagan with blood!"

The priest gave orders to the nuns under his command.

In order to prevent this legendary bishop from struggling because of the fear of death, the nuns used the secret treasures of the church to seal the bishop's divine power.

With the priest's instruction, a nun took out a dagger and pointed it at the bishop's white neck.

Not only does she want to make the Lord God receive a blood sacrifice, she also wants the fanatical believers below to be more pious to the Lord God.

At the same time, those believers who still hold out hope for their original faith must be driven to complete despair.

The cold dagger came close to the bishop's skin, stimulating her skin and causing goose bumps.

But this was only a physiological reaction. The bishop was still disheartened and could not accept the fact that the god he believed in was dead.

The nun had a smug smile on her face. If it were a few days ago, how could she have put a dagger on the neck of the high and mighty bishop?

But now, such a powerful bishop is about to become the dead soul under her hands.

Just when she was about to kill the bishop once and for all, two fingers suddenly pinched the dagger in her hand. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move it at all. The dagger stuck to the bishop's skin and could not go any further.

Richard emerged from his invisible state and saved the legendary bishop before he died.

"Who dares to obstruct the blood sacrifice?"

The nun knew that the person in front of her was far more powerful than her, so she quickly let go of the dagger and retreated quickly.

Richard did not chase her, but threw the dagger aside and looked at the legendary bishop.

Feeling her divine power, Richard was a little surprised.

This bishop actually came from the Harvest Sect, but the Harvest Sect was one of the most powerful sects in the Thousand Gods Empire. It was not surprising to see a legendary bishop in such a border area.

"What's your name?"

Richard asked the young legendary bishop, but received no response. The bishop still knelt there stupidly, his eyes full of despair.

Knowing that the bishop suffered a huge psychological blow because of the death of the god he believed in, he was deeply traumatized.

Richard decided to rescue her from this place first, and then slowly extract information about the Forsaken of God from her mouth when they got to a safe place.

On the other hand, the highest-ranking priest present could not sense Richard’s strength at all.

He knew he had met a tough opponent.

But there were tens of thousands of believers watching under the altar, and his faith would not allow him to give up like that.

"Come on, everyone! Capture this Forsaken One."

At this time, who else could it be except those guys Forsaken of Gods who dared to resist them in the Thousand Gods Empire and possessed such powerful strength?

Dozens of sect knights who had no idea of ​​Richard's strength rushed up to the altar with weapons in hand. Richard just glanced at them lightly, and invisible waves bombarded the sect knights.

The knights of the sect were struck by lightning and were blown away from the altar and fell into the crowd of believers.

Without even a hum, he died.

"A powerful Saint?"

As soon as Richard made a move, the priest realized that Richard was an opponent he could not resist at all.

But judging from Richard's appearance, he had no idea that there was such a powerful Saint Realm master in the Thousand Gods Empire.

Although there are many powerful saints in the Thousand Gods Empire, they are all in high positions and it is not easy for a senior priest like him to see them.

However, the portraits of the powerful people in the Holy Land are circulated among the major sects.

Thinking of this, the priest quietly retreated to the back, hoping not to attract the attention of this mysterious Sanctuary master.

However, he obviously did not know the power of the strong men in the Holy Land. Even if he lost a hair, Richard could keenly sense it.

With a wave of his hand, dozens of clergymen present lost their breath and fell to the ground.

At the same time, Richard also tried to use blood sacrifice to sacrifice these priests to the Tiger God.

It is indeed possible to feel that the power of the Tiger God has increased slightly. Although the amount is small, it carries a little bit of the same aura as the origin of the wizard world.

Is this how the gods who receive the power of blood sacrifice feel?

Richard felt that the sacred power in the Tiger God's blood seemed to be activated, making him even more holy, like a messenger descended from the realm of the gods.

At the same time, Richard also noticed that when he was performing the blood sacrifice, the bishop next to him had a brighter look in his eyes after seeing him perform the blood sacrifice.

Seeing the death of the priest, the believers who had gathered under the altar screamed and fled in all directions.

Richard had no intention of slaughtering these civilians, not to mention that their strength was too low. Even if there were 10,000 of them, they might not be able to match the senior priest just now.

Grabbing the bound bishop, Richard took her away before the sanctuary-level clergy of the Thousand Gods Sect arrived.

When a clergyman dies, the gods they believe in can sense it, so Richard did not kill them to silence them.

An hour later, Richard brought the bishop to a safe place.

Throwing the bishop to the ground, Richard asked again: "What's your name?"

If this bishop cannot be communicated with, then just turn her into a puppet.

Richard thought to himself.

"The gods you believe in are immortal? Why can they still accept blood sacrifices?"

The bishop did not answer Richard's question, but asked in return: "Hasn't the god you believe in been killed by those sinister guys of the God of Hunting?"

It was obvious that she was very concerned about the information about the Tiger God and wanted to learn about the Tiger God and the God Realm from Richard.

But unfortunately, the Tiger God is only in the middle stage of the Holy Domain, and the only thing related to the God Realm is his mysterious bloodline.

"Why should I answer your question?"

Richard grabbed the Harvest Cult bishop's neck and said, "I saved your life, but you didn't even say a word of thanks."

"If you don't want to die, just cooperate with me."

The Harvest Sect Bishop groaned and struggled a few times, but was unable to break free from Richard's grasp.

I could only nod helplessly.

Richard immediately let her go. The Bishop of the Harvest Sect fell to the ground, coughed a few times, and realized his situation.

The mysterious powerful Saint in front of him was much stronger than himself, and judging from his appearance, he was even younger than himself.

What surprised her most was that, as one of the most talented bishops in the Harvest Sect, she knew about some of the geniuses in the many sects in the Thousand Gods Empire.

Even those who had been promoted to the Saint Realm at a young age had seen their information, but she had no impression of Richard in front of her at all.

Could it be that he is a talented bishop secretly cultivated by a certain sect? Even with Richard's strength, he is fully qualified to be the Pope of the sect.

"I am the Bishop of the Harvest Cult, Theresa."

"Teresa?"

The way the Thousand Gods Empire sect selects talents is to make decisions directly based on faith and talent.

It is very different from the Free Federation's training method based on families and colleges.

This ensured the sect's clergy's loyalty to the gods they believed in, but it also led to the death of the gods, and the sect's clergy even gave up their lives.

Theresa in front of him was obviously a bishop who was selected and trained in this way.

"How many Saint Domain and Legendary experts are left in your Harvest Sect?"

Theresa shook her head. "I don't know the specific circumstances. I only know that the Harvest Pope and Saintess who were in the imperial capital at the time were captured and sacrificed by the Hunting Cult at the very beginning."

The Pope and the Saint of the Harvest Sect obviously did not expect that the Pope of the Hunting Sect would suddenly attack during the meeting of the Thousand Gods Empire. They were directly trapped by the people arranged in advance. In addition, they suddenly learned the news of the death of the god they believed in. The two Sanctuary powerhouses were in great confusion. They were captured before they could display their Sanctuary-level strength.

Richard nodded, this was bad news.

However, the two powerful saints of the Harvest Sect were already in the imperial capital, and Richard was mentally prepared for their deaths.

"Do you know the current situation of the Forsaken of God?"

Richard continued to ask.

Theresa nodded. The Forsaken of God were originally a group of cults united by those whose gods had died, and the Cult of the Harvest was naturally one of them.

She is the bishop of a city and has many clergymen from the Harvest Sect under her. Except for a small number of fanatical followers of the God of Harvest, many people choose to join the ranks of those abandoned by God in order to survive and temporarily save their lives.

As the bishop of the Harvest Sect, Theresa knew more information about the powerful saints and legendary masters, and was more pessimistic about the situation in the Thousand Gods Empire than her clergy.

From what she knew, clergy without the protection of the gods would not be able to last more than a few months against the Thousand Gods Empire, and would all be captured and sacrificed.

That's why she chose to give up resistance and let the nuns take her to the altar.

However, looking at the handsome Richard in front of her, she felt a sense of hope.

There are forces in the Thousand Gods Empire that she doesn't know about.

Maybe, there really is a chance to survive.

"Can you contact those Forsaken?"

Richard inquired.

Theresa nodded again.

"Many of my men have joined the Forsaken, and they are trying to persuade me to join them."

However, Theresa immediately advised Richard, "The strength of those sects is far greater than that of the Forsaken. Now they are just trying to get more believers to join the Forsaken until they are all wiped out."
