Seven Deadly Sins System

Chapter 138: Holy War



Apart from Chu Wuyao's Teacher, Hayden, there were four other High Priests in the Holy Church, all having broken through to the Holy Realm.

Two of these people were male and two of them were female and together with Hayden, they had almost complete control over the Holy Church.

Essentially, these people's orders were the law that all the other Priests had to follow.

However, on top of these five people, there was the Pope of the Holy Church, commonly referred to as the Holy Pope.

Although the Holy Pope was also at the Holy Realm, his strength was far higher than these five people and if he wanted, he could suppress them easily.

At the very least, this was what Chu Wuyao felt as he looked at the figures that were floating in the sky, standing above the army of the Holy Church.

At the moment, thousands of people had gathered just outside the church's headquarters and were standing silently, waiting for the orders of the higher-ups.

These people were all extraordinary and most of them were either True Warriors or True Magicians, while the Great Warriors and the Great Magicians were not rare either.

As these people stood here, they subconsciously exuded their aura, making the atmosphere solemn.

Among the army was Chu Wuyao, who stood in the middle of the army, standing on top of a golden majestic chariot.

She didn't pay much attention to the solemn atmosphere, but turned her head, looking around her.

Just right next to the army, thousands of people were standing right next to each other, with no expression on their faces and lifeless eyes.

Judging by their appearances, these people looked like living corpses or puppets.

"Sure enough, below the surface, this world is as evil as the Cultivation World.", Chu Wuyao thought secretly, and knew that these people were neither living corpses nor puppets, but "extraterrestrial demons".

She was able to recognize most of these people and had even personally interacted with some of them, during her visits to the underground prison.

Chu Wuyao had always thought that the Holy Church imprisoned these people in order to get more information out of them, but it was only now that she understood that she had been mistaken.

Obviously, apart from wanting to collect more information, the church had one more use for these people: to use them as cannon fodder.

Chu Wuyao could sense that the seal that limited these people's strength had disappeared, but their consciousness was chaotic, as if they were being controlled.

Shaking her head, Chu Wuyao turned around and looked at the other side of the army, at the hundreds of giant beasts that were sitting right next to them.

These beasts were huge, most of them having a height of more than five meters, and there were thick golden chains wrapped around their necks, with the other side of the chain extending towards the human figures that were sitting on the upper part of these beasts.

Every time these beasts let out a growl or wanted to escape, the human figures would shake the chain in their hand, causing these beasts to feel intense pain and hurriedly beg for mercy.

Having access to the high-level information of the Holy Church, Chu Wuyao knew that these beasts were demons that had been captured in the various strongholds of the Demon Cult, while those golden chains were Demon-Suppressing Chains, its function evident.

As Chu Wuyao was the full strength of the Holy Church, time slowly went by.

Finally, just when the sun in the sky appeared right above them, the Holy Pope, a young man that wore a golden robe, suddenly turned around.

His eyes landed on the silent army below and looking at their respectful faces, he opened his mouth to speak:

"I know that there may be some of you that wonder why the Holy Church has decided to launch a battle against the Demon Cult."

"I'm sure that you fear that many people will die, or that you'll inevitably lose some of your companions.", the Holy Pope said and he paused for a brief second, before continuing:

"However, you don't have to worry. Not long ago, I prayed to our great Lord and I managed to obtain our Lord's blessings."

"With the support of the Creation God, you have nothing to fear!"

The words of the Holy Pope spread throughout the army and his words seemed to have the ability to infect other people.

The moment the army below heard his words, their tense bodies relaxed and they found themselves filled with courage.

Instantly, no matter what their strength was, these people felt that they would be able to face any danger calmly, even if it meant their death.

Seeing this scene, the Holy Pope nodded his head and after looking at the High Priests that were standing on the side, he waved his right hand casually.

"Let's go! Today is the day that our Holy Religion is going to wipe out all those damn heretics."

When the Holy Pope had just finished giving his speech and the army was about to start marching, deep in the hidden headquarters of the Demon Cult, a few people had gathered.

These people exuded a powerful aura and it was obvious that they had all reached the Holy Reach.

Among them, a certain person stood out.

It was an old man that wore a long black robe that his most of his body.

His face was covered in wrinkles that revealed his old age, while his eyes were red, filled with cruelty and a thirst for blood.

This old man was the Pope of the Demon Cult and it was said that he was the spokesperson of the Destruction God.

Suddenly, the Demon Pope's changed slightly, as if he had received a certain message.

This change alerted the people around him and they instantly turned to look at him. Explore more stories with My Virtual Library Empire

Under their eyes, the Demon Pope didn't hide anything:

"According to our spies, the Holy Church has assembled its army and is marching towards this place."

"Get ready for battle!", he said and seemingly remembering something, he added:

"Also, inform the leaders of those extraterrestrial demons to be prepared. They should be able start the plan as soon as they receive the signal."
