Chapter 139: Let’s See If He Can Resurrect Without the Statue
The great hall of the Ancient Roman Church shook non-stop, on the verge of collapse.
All the Ancient Roman Church career holders showed shocked expressions.
Who were these terrifying figures that had appeared?
Without doubt, if that huge fireball fell, at least half of the Ancient Roman Church would be destroyed.
Such a large fireball was unprecedented.
Gubate was the name of their pope.
The visitors called him directly by name, but no one dared object.
In this situation, whoever spoke up would be courting death.
From the main hall of the Ancient Roman Church, seven people flew out towards Ning Tairan.
They were the top leaders of the Ancient Roman Church.
Six elders, plus Pope Gubate.
All were top career holders over level 70 who had completed their third transition.
"The Pope is here!"
"The elders are here too. It should be fine now, right?"
"Hopefully nothing will happen, but the aura of those two doesn’t seem afraid of the Pope at all."
Seeing the Pope and others take action, the followers felt slightly relieved.
In their view, the Pope and others were top career holders who could surely resolve the trouble.
"Who seeks me!"
Gubate shouted.
The next second, seeing who had come, his face changed drastically, stunned.
He recognized Ning Tairan, a god-level career holder of the Divine Summer Empire, extremely powerful.
Though he was also a top career holder, he was still some distance from Ning Tairan’s level.
As for the person beside Ning Tairan...
Gubate’s pupils contracted sharply, his body trembling involuntarily.
The Divine Summer Killing God!
How did he come too?
These two coming together, were they here to destroy the Ancient Roman Church?
Gubate racked his brains but couldn’t think of how they had offended them.
He hurriedly put on a smile, "Welcome, esteemed guests. Let’s talk this over."
"If we have offended you in any way, I apologize."
Gubate was very straightforward, apologizing without even knowing what had happened.
He had no choice when faced with such overwhelming power.
No one expected the mighty Pope of the Ancient Roman Church to react this way.
This situation also stunned the followers on the ground.
How could their Pope yield so quickly and completely?
Ning Tairan said coldly, "You have someone called Rogus in your church, right? Tell him to get out here."
In the Ancient Roman Church, there were two divine temples - water and fire.
Rogus had awakened the Fire God Warrior career and was made the divine son of the Fire God Temple, the future inheritor.
So they had come for Rogus.
But the difference in level and status was too great. How could Rogus possibly offend someone like Ning Tairan? He wasn’t on that level.
Gubate signaled to the elders beside him to bring Rogus immediately.
Since Ning Tairan asked, there must be a reason.
As for what reason, they would ask when Rogus arrived.
In any case, if these two were unreasonable, they could destroy the entire Ancient Roman Church with nowhere to complain.
Gubate carefully asked, "May I ask how Rogus has offended you two great ones?"
Ning Tairan said, "He didn’t offend me."
Bai Yiyuan sneered, "He didn’t offend me either."
Gubate and the elders beside him couldn’t help but feel relieved. Not offending them was good.
But the next second, Ning Tairan’s words plunged their hearts into despair again.
Killing intent flashed in Ning Tairan’s eyes, "He offended my precious granddaughter."
Bai Yiyuan also casually said, "He offended my precious disciple."
...
Gubate’s body trembled, almost falling from mid-air.
This felt even more terrifying than offending them personally.
In his heart, he had already cursed Rogus countless times.
What on earth had this guy done?
Soon, Rogus was brought out.
After several days, Rogus had been resurrected.
But having just revived, his body was very weak and still needed time to recover.
Rogus was resting when he was forcibly brought out, still a bit dazed.
When he saw the sun-like fireball overhead, he was even more confused, "Has the Fire God descended?"
Suddenly, his body lightened as he flew up, carried by a gust of wind to mid-air.
Gubate said carefully, "Great ones, this is Rogus. He accidentally died a few days ago and just revived."
"You used a dungeon tracking scroll to chase and kill Lin Moyu?"
"You also said my granddaughter was a toy?"
Faced with Ning Tairan’s questioning, panic flashed in Rogus’s eyes.
Then his pupils lost focus, his expression becoming dull.
Gubate’s eyebrows twitched. He knew Ning Tairan had used a mind control skill.
With Ning Tairan’s level and ability, how could a mere level 30 Rogus resist?
Hatred twisted Rogus’s face as he shouted madly, "He dared to kill me! That brat actually dared to kill me!"
"I’ll kill him sooner or later. The title is mine, that woman is mine too. I’ll make her my toy. I’ll make her beg for life but wish for death!"
Everyone present changed color. This was big trouble!
"Great one..."
Gubate wanted to say something but was cut off by Bai Yiyuan’s gaze.
Bai Yiyuan’s eyes were cold and merciless.
A terrifying aura kept rising, killing intent spreading, the entire space rumbling.
It made everyone tremble in fear.
At this moment, the Divine Summer Killing God had returned!
Ning Tairan sneered, "He can resurrect after death. He must have an imprint left in the church’s divine statue, right? Let’s see if he can still resurrect without the statue."
With a point of his finger, the huge fireball overhead fell towards the Ancient Roman Church.
Gubate’s face changed drastically as he shouted urgently: "Quick, save everyone!"
"Everyone, run!"
The elders immediately took action, flying down to evacuate large numbers of followers.
Only Rogus remained suspended in mid-air, ignored by all.
Gubate wished this troublemaker would die immediately.
The huge fireball rolled down, crushing Rogus.
Under the terrifyingly intense heat, Rogus was instantly vaporized.
Not burned to death, but directly vaporized.
Fortunately the fireball fell slowly, giving them enough time.
A minute later, the Ancient Roman Church headquarters was empty.
The fireball completely fell, bursting with brilliant flames that dyed the sky red.
The Ancient Roman Church headquarters became a sea of fire, the exquisite halls collapsing in flames.
Ning Tairan’s cold voice rang out, "If there’s a next time, I’ll erase the Ancient Roman Church."
As the two left, Gubate’s face was extremely ugly.
The church headquarters had been engulfed by fire, turned to ruins.
He didn’t care about other things, but he grieved for the divine statue in the headquarters that could imprint souls and resurrect the dead.
Now the statue was gone, along with the imprints inside.
The disciples in the church who had imprinted their souls, if they died now, would truly be dead.
He knew all too well how difficult it was to build the statue, the result of countless years of accumulation...
"Pope!"
The elders looked sorrowful.
Gubate sighed, "It’s fine as long as we’re alive. With those two’s tempers, not wiping us out is already giving us face."
"Don’t forget how miserable Stick Country was back then, how many people died."
Thinking of what Bai Yiyuan had done before, everyone tensed up.
This outcome was already the best of a bad situation.
Lost halls could be rebuilt. As long as people survived, it was fine.
Everyone hated Rogus now. If not for him, their Ancient Roman Church wouldn’t have suffered this disaster.
...
In the White God’s courtyard, Bai Yiyuan and Ning Tairan teleported back.
Bai Yiyuan teased, "Old Ning, how did your temper improve? Is it from spoiling your granddaughter too much?"
Ning Tairan blew his beard, "You’re the same. In the past, you would have killed everyone in the Ancient Roman Church already."
Bai Yiyuan smiled even more happily, "We’re getting old. We need to accumulate virtue, kill less."
He sat down and poured himself tea, "The troublemaker is dead. Whether we kill those people or not doesn’t make much difference. Keeping them alive lets them kill some Abyss monsters."
Ning Tairan also sat down, "Who would believe you? Back with Stick Country, why didn’t you think this way?"
Bai Yiyuan laughed freely, "My temper was worse back then. Now after staying with this guy for so long, my temper has improved."
Meng Anwen opened his eyes and said, "Don’t push everything onto me."
He tossed over the fully recharged cooldown talismans, "Done."
"You’re so fast."
Ning Tairan also took out a drained junior cooldown talisman, shamelessly asking, "Help me recharge this too."
