Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1359: Chapter 1357: Fallen Guest Empire (16)

It can be seen that the development of the Organization of the Awakened is still on the rise.

According to Lady Raven, it hasn’t been more than a month since its establishment, yet there are already double-digit numbers coming to listen to the Gospel.

Inside, there wasn’t even a sign of Marianne and Ben, they were likely ordered to protect the rising star.

And those present here, each obviously possessed unique skills.

Like Marianne and the others, they had high rankings but were different from ordinary decrees, filled with a sense of distortion.

At this moment, with the venue already set up, everyone was in a state of setting Momentum, a glance revealed an array of odd-looking characters, akin to a bizarre showcase.

Relatively speaking, Marianne’s fleshly vines were quite pleasing to the eye.

Such a myriad of samples to a certain extent re-affirmed previous suspicions—it was indeed true that the gifts from the Stars Association became twisted after the arrival of the mist.

One of the purposes of arranging this lecture had already been successfully achieved.

…

“Don’t rush!”

The first Moonlight beam nearly struck dangerously close to Lady Raven, and the latter was visibly shocked.

But she just moved slightly, restrained her impulse to evade, and shouted to the crowd.

Unfortunately, the response was a tad too slow, the lively Awakeners were already taking action in unison.

Out of them, the two at the front were only a moment behind Lady Raven, each facing a descending radiance.

However, their luck wasn’t so good, the precisely aimed Moonlight Orbital Cannon hit them squarely.

While seemingly intangible, the scattering brilliance upon impact resembled lead chunks, carrying substantial impact, instantly halting the two men’s movements.

One of them was entangled in a creation akin to an insect shell, appearing to have considerable defensive effects.

However, even so, the heavy blow left him staggering.

And it didn’t end there, the location hit, though showing no visible wounds, unexpectedly seeped point-light brilliance, as if shattered moonlight scattered upon it.

And after instinctively brushing it off to no avail, the burly man was surprised to find his movements inexplicably slowed.

It wasn’t due to burden or injury, this feeling completely defying logic helped him quickly respond to the leader’s call.

“Madam?”

After retreating with difficulty, he looked at Lady Raven with an inquisitive gaze.

In fact, almost everyone present had the same reaction.

And as the concerned party, Lady Raven’s expression was visibly complex, remaining silent for a moment.

Fu Qian understood this very well.

Such a perfectly synchronized action just now was obviously an immediate command from Lady Raven to everyone.

There was no way she would genuinely set up a stage to let herself preach insidious ideas.

To charge someone as a Nightmare’s Lackey and kill them without giving a chance was the best choice for maintaining organizational cohesion to the greatest extent.

In fact, this was also why Fu Qian directly activated the form of a Pseudo-Divine Being.

…

The two Moonlight beams successfully restraining the siege already explained the problem significantly.

As newly born fortunates, these guys who didn’t even dare to die in what they perceived as a nightmare had fundamentally weak spirits.

Understanding her own power to a certain extent, Lady Raven did not expect everyone to launch a siege, eventually sacrificing some for a pyrrhic victory.

Very likely a few people would be eliminated by oneself, and the situation would rapidly enter a stalemate, forcing them to listen to the Gospel.

But she still directed so.

The easy explanation was there was some special reliance behind it giving her this confidence.

For example, intangible means that could affect one’s will or fighting prowess.

Considering the high ranking of these twisted gifts from the Stars Association, this situation couldn’t be completely ruled out.

So Fu Qian directly chose to consume ten SAN Points to ensure events proceeded with maximum efficiency.

Facts proved that there was indeed an extremely peculiar influence exerted upon him earlier, yet it vanished instantly against the higher-ranking scale he achieved subsequently.

“Watch carefully, do not miss this moment.”

Without pursuing, Fu Qian glanced at the circle of people around, reminding them with a hint of wicked humor.

“Face your own hesitations.”

…

“To remain unaffected by me, is this the power of the Nightmare?”

At this moment, Lady Raven, who was fulfilling everyone’s expectations, gestured again for others not to rush, while finally opening her mouth slowly.

Is it indeed setting a character before saying anything?

Completely unsurprised, Fu Qian momentarily gazed up at the night sky, disdaining to argue, even casually activating the Decree Residue.

Moonlight enshrouded, a chill pervaded, visual impact instantly reached a new height.

“Throughout long ages, my clan has called themselves the Godson.”

“Born under the favor of law, nobly unmatched.”

With an attitude transcendental and a voice laden with ancient emotion, Fu Qian continued to employ the Bloodline Clan’s setting.

“Even the elites among mortals, the Sect members granted gifts by the Stars Association, were not qualified to know our existence.”

“Yet even we remained misled and confused for many years…”

“Apologies about the Godson statement, I confirm we’ve never heard of such—”

Lady Raven’s finally couldn’t hold back her commentary, yet in the next moment, was directly interrupted.

At that moment, another two Moonlight beams descended, this time striking the same spot.

And on the apparently empty floor, the air strangely twisted along.

A figure with strange bones and a slender build tumbled out from within, desperately retreating like the others.

However, with large patches of broken moonlight staining him, his actions seemed as if moving in slow motion.

…

This sudden shift clearly prompted shock throughout the venue.

However, for Fu Qian, things were actually quite clear.

This Awakener had quite decent concealment abilities, even while others revealed themselves, he still maintained this state.

Even when everyone else retreated, he stayed.

Stepping closer step by step, ready to deliver a lethal strike.

If the mental impact earlier was Lady Raven’s prepared trump, then this should be considered a contingency fallback.

Unfortunately, both failed.

History ultimately led to the situation Lady Raven most feared—a stalemate where the ordinary were forced to listen to the Gospel, shaking their faith.

Of course, Fu Qian actually didn’t care if their faith wavered.

The purpose of this scene was never to enlighten these people.

After twice communicating with Marianne and Lady Raven, the value of communication within this group had almost been squeezed dry.

Whether they believed in the Stars Association next, the Dark Moon, or even the Nightmare, it didn’t matter to Fu Qian.

Now, their physical value is being extracted.

This enlightening scene was meant for the “Nightmare” to witness.

For the Nightmare, this scene’s nature is equivalent to Awakeners who already doubted the Nightmare, witnessing miracles that further overturn imagination, showcased by a mysterious being of unknown origins.

Its nature is so vile, in Fu Qian’s view, that it is intolerable for the Nightmare.

As for ensuring that the Nightmare will certainly witness it?

Firstly, Fu Qian does not believe this organization lacking combat experience can have any reliable execution capability.

Secondly, even if others escape the monitoring under Lady Raven’s instruction, he himself is now entangled in chaos, serving as the greatest beacon.

His next communication target “Nightmare” is sure to be drawn in.

Time is precious, utmost efficiency.
