Chapter 23: Judgment of Divine Light

The metal disc flew at high speed, and the conspicuous black cover in the wilderness was right below.

Saint Louise’s golden pupils locked onto the target, the runes flowing in her eyes constantly calculating.

She unfurled the Merchant’s Contract and whispered quickly in a monotonous tone, performing the final settlement confirmation.

“Target confirmed: Isolation-type Void-Reality Contract.”

“Threat source speculation: God-Burying Society core members, codename ‘Necro’, codename ‘Wraith’, codename ‘Shadow’.”

“Optimal solution confirmed: Activate Sky-Based Purification Protocol.”

“Energy output calibration: Minimum threshold.”

“Contract point deduction confirmation: Confirmation complete.”

As her last syllable fell, Bai Jin saw the golden runes on the Merchant’s Contract, representing immense wealth, with the numbers constantly decreasing.

Those were the Gold Contracts being deducted, dissipating as streams of light to offset the cost.

Bai Jin’s authority once again detected a contract and sent her a notification:

[In-transit Contract Detected…]

[Holy Exchange Contract · Light of Divine Judgment, Reverse?]

In this plan to save Lilith, this contract should be Saint Louise’s solution.
Bai Jin would not cause trouble at this time.

Besides, she didn’t have any death energy to reverse it with now…

With the settlement of the Merchant’s Contract process, came a scene that shook Bai Jin’s soul to its core!

On the deep night sky, in the depths of the firmament, a point of golden light, so pure that it seemed it could burn everything, lit up without any warning!

The moment the light appeared, it transformed into a magnificent pillar of light that pierced through heaven and earth!

It tore through the thick night sky, ignoring the distance of space, carrying a power that seemed to be able to purify all filth!

Like a spear of judgment cast down by a god, it bombarded the black cover of the Coffin of Delusion with pinpoint accuracy.

“BOOM—!!!”

It was not a deafening explosion, but a dull thud emitted when the viscous, ink-like dark barrier resisted this pillar of light.

The surface of the black cover boiled violently, emitting a piercing shriek as the energy was annihilated.

Then, it was forcibly pierced through, tearing open a hole with edges that flowed with a molten color!

An aura of holy destruction, mixed with the turbulent flow of defeated dark energy, swept outwards in a violent shockwave.

The pillar of light, having succeeded in one strike, instantly converged and disappeared into the night sky.

The metal disc landed smoothly, descending on the edge of the basin that had been plowed through by the turbulent energy flow, a scene of utter devastation.

Saint Louise flicked the floating Merchant’s Contract, and the disc under her feet turned into flying golden runes, slowly merging back into the Merchant’s Contract.

“Mission objective achieved: Barrier destroyed, Holy Blood link contracted.”
Saint Louise’s voice was still devoid of any emotion.

The earth-shattering blow just now was as if she had just completed an ordinary order.

“Contract fulfilled. Subsequent risks are not covered by this transaction.”

The golden light in her eyes began to rapidly fade.
Her body swayed slightly, about to become unsteady.

“Wait!”
Bai Jin grabbed Saint Louise’s arm.
“Lilith hasn’t been saved yet! She’s still in there, you… you can’t just leave like this!”

Saint Louise’s gradually dimming golden eyes glanced deeply at Bai Jin, with an indifference devoid of any emotion.

“The contract is settled. This operation was only to pierce the cage. As for the bird in the cage…”

Saint Louise’s gaze turned to the breach.
“Watch closely, ‘It’ has already arrived…”

The last trace of golden light in her eyes completely dissipated.
Her body went limp, as if all her strength had been exhausted, and her eyes became vacant.

“I… how did I get here? My head hurts so much…”
Louise fell back limply, and Bai Jin subconsciously caught her.

After steadying Louise, Bai Jin also looked towards the breach torn by the Light of Divine Judgment.

When the Light of Divine Judgment bombarded the Coffin of Delusion, Necro felt an unprecedented shock!

This was the power of another god!
It was the Holy Exchange!!
How could It interfere?!

As the Coffin of Delusion was torn apart, the unconscious Lilith in his hands also underwent a horrifying transformation!

A layer of viscous, dark-red tissue, like a living thing, frantically poured out from all the wounds on Lilith’s body, instantly enveloping her entire person.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Necro directly dispersed his solid body and turned into a wisp of black smoke to hide.

The flesh and blood tissue enveloping Lilith was still expanding, and it also turned into a small, writhing mountain of flesh!

Countless dense, constantly opening and closing pores quickly appeared on the surface of the mountain of flesh.
Countless tentacles composed of dark-red flesh and viscous blood plasma grew crazily.

This was a monster directly catalyzed by the origin of the Holy Blood, a vessel of the Holy Blood that was between a flesh-and-blood creation and a divine incarnation.

The will of the Holy Blood directly descended into this vessel.
The chaotic, tyrannical, and terrifying divine pressure swept across the entire basin!

The huge tentacles constantly flickered with a red glow, wildly swinging and lashing with the power of the Blood Contract.

The ends of countless tentacles split into crosses, and the light of the Blood Contract brewed within them.

There was no chanting, no price.
A terrifying attack purely driven by the divine power of the Holy Blood instantly erupted!

A rain of blood arrows continuously shot out towards the surroundings in a covering fire.

A highly corrosive blood mist continuously sprayed out from the opening and closing pores.

Several tentacles condensed a highly compressed ball of blood-red energy above the mountain of flesh, emitting a terrifying fluctuation.

The development of the situation had already gone beyond Necro’s control, completely shattering all of Necro’s arrogance and calculations!

“Damn Holy Blood! And the Holy Exchange!!”
Necro’s blurry figure, composed of purple-black energy, fluctuated violently, emitting an unbelievable shriek.

He would never have thought that this carefully planned operation would actually provoke two gods at the same time.

Faced with the Holy Blood’s overwhelming bombardment, Necro felt a fear in his soul, even though his current self was not his main body.

The final goal of the God-Burying Society was indeed to kill gods, but that was after thoroughly analyzing the mechanism of a god’s authority and making full preparations!

It was definitely not something the current Necro could face alone.
His operation this time was just to confirm…

“Mission… failed… I must…”
Necro made a decisive decision.
This incarnation could be abandoned, but the unusual movements of the two gods must be reported back to the God-Burying Society’s headquarters!

The ball of energy, containing the endless rage of the Holy Blood, accurately locked onto the blurry figure that made up Necro, and smashed down!!

“Ah!!!”

The shrill scream lasted only for a moment before it was drowned out by the earth-shattering explosion!

The dazzling blood light, mixed with the shockwave of terrifying energy, swept across!
All the twisted dark aura here was completely purified!

Only a huge, scorched pit was left in the center of the explosion, proving everything that had once happened here.

Bai Jin supported the unconscious Louise, staring dumbfounded at the hellish scene in the center of the basin.

The terrifying beast of flesh and blood, after its vent-like frantic bombardment, seemed to have finally confirmed that the threat had disappeared.

The violent divine power of the Holy Blood also gradually receded.
Without the support of divine power, the massive body of flesh and blood quickly lost its vitality.

The huge tentacles went limp and disintegrated, turning into a viscous, foul-smelling stream of blood.

The writhing tissue on the surface deflated rapidly, like a leaking balloon.

In the end, all the mutated flesh and blood turned into turbid blood water, seeping into the scorched black earth, leaving only a cocoon wrapped in a dark-red, translucent membrane.

Through the membrane, a curled-up figure could be vaguely seen.
It was Lilith.
