I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2348
Chapter 2348: Chapter 2347: The Descent of the Heavenly God, the Mystery of Faith
This was a man with a three-eyed brow, wearing ancient armor robes and exuding a majestic presence.
When he stepped out, the void fell silent.
Even the continuously swirling vortex stilled.
Everyone looked up, raising their heads to gaze at that figure.
Heavenly God!
The deity who fully governs Cloud Center County.
He walked out unhurriedly, frowning slightly.
His three eyes were imposing and domineering, and whoever they landed upon felt as if they were completely seen through in an instant.
Everyone couldn’t help but lower their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.
Beside him, a long spear floated.
The spear was about a hundred meters long, piercing the sky, sharp and unstoppable.
The air was filled with a bloody scent.
This was the residue of the six attendant deities who had just been shredded into pieces, the divine net stained red with blood.
The Heavenly God immediately understood what had happened.
He looked calmly towards Xu Zimei.
In comparison to others, he indeed seemed more like a god.
Neither joyful nor sad, dignified in demeanor, the indifference in his eyes seemed to disregard everything.
“Demon Lord, why take action against mere mortals?”
The Heavenly God glanced and promptly revealed Xu Zimei’s identity.
This surprised Xu Zimei a bit.
He initially thought the Heavenly God’s power was nothing special.
But now it seemed the other party knew so much, surely extraordinary within the Divine Race.
“Interesting,” Xu Zimei chuckled.
“Who I kill depends solely on my mood, unrelated to strength.”
“Even if an ant bites me, I must kill it; wouldn’t you do the same if a fly bothers you?”
“Smooth talker,” the Heavenly God snorted coldly.
“I recall you once annihilated the Thirteen Blades Domain when last in Kun Ruins Domain.”
“Our Divine Race did not hold it against you, yet you dare come now; don’t blame us for your impending death.”
Hearing the Heavenly God’s words, Xu Zimei shook his head slightly.
“Why waste breath, your Divine Race actively issued a warrant for me.”
“Your Divine Race has surely made deals with certain parties.”
“Fight if you want, speaking of righteousness is utterly ridiculous.”
The Heavenly God glanced at Xu Zimei, somewhat surprised.
After all, the Divine Race’s secret dealings with the Holy Court were unknown beyond their circles.
Their internal members wouldn’t leak it.
And the Holy Court wouldn’t casually disclose it.
Yet Xu Zimei inferred the truth from fragments.
“Regardless, I will not spare you for your audacity in Cloud Center County,” the Heavenly God declared lightly.
He raised his hands.
Suddenly a sky-covering object appeared.
On closer inspection, it was a hand.
The Heaven-covering Great Palm descended upon Xu Zimei.
The palm bore massive divine power, crushing layers of void.
“Boom!”
The overwhelming power of annihilation came.
Xu Zimei frowned slightly.
He noticed that when the Heavenly God acted, everyone around bore a faint golden glow.
It seemed as if he was like a core, connecting everyone together.
Put simply, he was like a heart, others like veins linked to the heart.
This palm descended, Xu Zimei did not evade.
Instead, he confronted the palm head-on.
The palm landed on him, but Xu Zimei’s aura was overwhelming, his vitality like a sea, not even his clothes ruffled.
Xu Zimei shook his head slightly.
“I thought you were stronger, but it seems you’re merely bluffing.”
“Borrowing others’ power, so this is your Divine Race’s cultivation core!”
Xu Zimei originally thought the Divine Race absorbed the Power of Faith for cultivation, also governance.
But now it wasn’t so simple.
The Power of Faith was like the source of the divine spirits’ power.
Simply put, these powers did not belong to the divine spirits.
They only had usage rights.
The more believers, the stronger the divine spirits’ power.
Once no one believed in the divine spirits.
Then these divine spirits would be nothing.
The relationship between the two is mutually reinforcing.
The Heavenly God’s expression changed slightly; he didn’t expect Xu Zimei to see through it at a glance.
However, seeing through wasn’t a problem.
They didn’t intend to hide it deliberately.
Because as long as believers exist, it remains unresolved.
You can never wake a person pretending to sleep.
To the sleeping, the awake seem foolish.
Thus Xu Sanduo is a microcosm.
Clearly he’s right, but in this distorted world, distortion is considered correct.
“Demon Lord, say what you will, our Holy Court’s purpose is to let the people live in peace, everyone like dragons.”
The Heavenly God responded calmly.
“Go ahead, Heavenly God, kill this heinous criminal.”
“Indeed, this guy babbles nonsense, attempting to destroy our Cloud Center County, he mustn’t be spared.”
Countless below shouted.
Even those doubtful joined in the chants.
At that moment, in unseen places.
The Power of Faith surged.
The Heavenly God inhaled deeply, intoxicatedly saying, “What a marvelous feeling!”
“See, due to your presence, everyone united against a common enemy, the Power of Faith more marvelous than before.”
As he spoke, the Heavenly God reached for the long spear beside him.
The spear remained fierce.
Hundred-meter high, like a Divine Dragon.
Dragon authority majestic, scales lifelike, bearing great momentum.
That was capturing the lead.
The spear wasn’t yet unsheathed, already seemed imposing.
The tip like a furious roaring dragon, pierced all, faster than light.
Directly before Xu Zimei.
Aimed to stab his eye.
“Bang!”
Xu Zimei reached out his right palm, grasped the spear tip, and exerted force.
Crushed the entire spear tip into his palm, like turning it into powder.
Immediately, Xu Zimei’s figure flashed.
The next moment, he was through layers of void, directly before the Heavenly God.
“Today I shall play with godslaying, consider it a gift to the Divine Race.”
“Boom!”
Before the Heavenly God reacted, Xu Zimei’s fist enlarged before him.
“So fast!”
The next instant, the Heavenly God vanished.
His figure became ethereal.
Likely the Heavenly God hadn’t anticipated Xu Zimei’s strength.
After True Martial Great Emperor’s past light, the Divine Race never warred with Xu Zimei.
Thus they never truly regarded Xu Zimei.
“Can he evade?”
Xu Zimei’s palm descended, seemingly upon void.
But leveraged force against force.
