Chapter 290: Going Up The Holy Mountain, It’s Useless Against Me

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this morning, Meng Lei woke up bright and early and had a hearty breakfast with Ol’ Amos. Only then did he slowly and leisurely start to fly toward the Holy Mountain of Light.

“The Holy Mountain of Light is situated at the center of the continent. It’s the Light Church’s headquarters, as well as this continent’s core of religious faith. Countless worshipers make pilgrimages to the Holy Mountain of Light every year...”

Ol’ Amos flew in the sky with his hands held behind his back while telling Meng Lei about the continent.

Despite not having assimilated the five lesser deity divine cores yet, the air around him had become totally different from what it had been three days ago.

He was filled with confidence toward their journey to the Light Church. Were they kidding? How strong must Meng Lei be when he could bring out even lesser deity divine cores? What was there to fear about a mere Light Church?

Although the duo took their time to fly there, they nevertheless crossed a greater half of Light Continent and reached the Holy Mountain of Light in less than half an hour.

The whole Holy Mountain of Light was made of light-elemental elemental crystals, and it gave off a pure and sacred glow.

The Shrine of Light stood at the Holy Mountain peak, looking as if a celestial palace in the sunlight.

Even though an endless stream of pilgrims went to and fro in the past, the whole Holy Mountain of Light had been completely cordoned off on this day. Not a single worshiper was within sight. The only ones there were knights instead!

Knights clad in armor of light were stationed every three to five steps. They guarded the Holy Mountain of Light strictly, surrounding the mountain so securely that it was impenetrable.

“They are all prepared for battle!”

Meng Lei and Ol’ Amos, who were floating in the air, marveled as they gazed upon the Holy Mountain of Light.

“I didn’t feel anything in particular while on the way here, but I’m becoming rather nervous now,” Ol’ Amos took a deep breath, “Here’s hoping that nothing goes wrong and everything goes smoothly today.”

“Don’t worry, Ol’ President!”

A smiling Meng Lei gave him a few words of comfort. Then, he turned to the majestic Holy Mountain of Light and said, “Meng Lei of Heaven’s Vault Continent has come to call on His Holiness, the Light Church’s pope!”

Meng Lei wasn’t particularly loud. He spoke just like how he usually did when chatting with another person. However, as though ten thousand thunderclaps were booming at the same time, his voice caused earth-rending results upon spreading into the surroundings.

Boom, boom, boom!

As though thunderstruck, all the battle-ready Knights of Light on guard clapped their hands over their ears and cried out in pain and agony. Blood gushed from their noses and trickled from their lip corners...

They were actually bleeding from all seven facial orifices!

“My apologies for not receiving you earlier, despite coming from afar, Your Holiness.”

A group of people walked out of the Shrine of Light. The one in the lead was Pope Hayes himself.

Aside from him, Altacia the Holy Maiden, eight Red-Cloaked Archbishops, the General Inquisitor of the Holy Inquisition, a large group of ascetic cultivators, and Light Church fanatics that made up about 100 half-deities were also there.

“108 half-deities, nine true gods, and the Pope of Light whose cultivation level we cannot tell!”

Ol’ Amos had a grave look on his face as he commented, “As expected, the church’s strength is unfathomably deep. No wonder they could defeat the Dark Church and unify Light Continent.”

Meng Lei also marveled, “Their overall strength is indeed impressive. They are much stronger than Heaven’s Vault Continent.”

“Your Esteemed Holiness, I am the Pope of the Light Church. On behalf of the Light Church and Light Continent, I welcome you.”

Pope Hayes was extremely respectful, as though the person he was facing wasn’t an enemy whom the Light Church bore grudges against but an esteemed guest.

“Your Holiness, let me first introduce to you this man next to me.”

Meng Lei gave him a slight smile and said, “This is my teacher. Of course, he’s also the founding emperor of Kroc Kingdom and the academy president of Kroc Academy.”

“I see,” replied the pope with a slight nod.

“Unfortunately, I had seen something that displeased me the moment I descended upon Light Continent. Four Red-Cloaked Archbishops from the Light Church were actually besieging my teacher and had even wanted to seize Kroc Academy—and even the Kroc Kingdom—for themselves.”

Meng Lei said dispassionately, “Do you think you should give me an explanation for that, Your Holiness?”

“Your Esteemed Holiness,” The pope bowed slightly, “Firstly, we weren’t aware that Academy President Kroc was your teacher. That was why we had unintentionally affronted him. I hope Your Holiness can pardon us for that.

“Secondly, it is the Light Church’s duty and obligation to spread our Lord’s faith and let our Lord’s light shine upon the whole continent. We had only wanted to let the people of Kroc Kingdom bask in our Lord’s glory as soon as possible. We had no intentions to offend at all.”

Meng Lei couldn’t help but laugh and ask, “In that case, the unknowing Light Church isn’t to blame and had been acting in accordance with their duty. Thus, they weren’t in the wrong at all?”

“Your Holiness, the Light Church has always been advocating our Lord’s teachings of showing love and care for the world and guiding people to do good. Perhaps there are flaws in our deeds, but we’ve never made any huge mistakes,” replied Pope Hayes, who had adopted an attitude that displayed great compassion and sadness for mankind.

“Such hypocrisy and pretentiousness!”

Ol’ Amos couldn’t help but snort. The Light Church might look pure and beautiful, but hadn’t they also reached where they were today by trampling upon piles of dead bodies?

Showing love and care for the world and guiding people to do good? What b*llshit!

“Going by what Your Holiness has said, I feel that I am certainly making a mountain out of a molehill.”

Meng Lei said dispassionately, “After all, even if those four Red-Cloaked Archbishops from the Light Church had killed Ol’ President, it’s because he had stood in the Light Church’s way of fulfilling their duty to spread the Lord’s teachings and faith. Thus, he would have had only himself to blame, right?”

Pope Hayes’ expression changed a little upon hearing Meng Lei’s response.

“I understand now. So, that’s the kind of logic that the Light Church believes in.”

Then, Meng Lei flicked his fingers and said, “In that case, I would also like to spread my faith in Light Continent. What do you think, Your Holiness?”

“Your Holiness—”

“The Pope would definitely stop me, right? In that case, none of you would say much even if I wipe all of you out, right?”

A smiling Meng Lei added, “After all, this is the logic that the Light Church believes in!”

“Your Holiness—”

“Let’s cut to the chase.”

Meng Lei waved him off and said, “Your Holiness, don’t hesitate to employ every means at your disposal, lest you argue that I didn’t give you any chances at all.”

“Your Holiness, must we really go to the extent of such an acrimonious falling-out?”

Pope Hayes’ expression had also darkened. The Light Continent had stood unwaveringly in Light Continent for tens of thousands of years. Was there any turmoil that it hadn’t yet experienced?

A lesser deity-level Divine Netherworld Phoenix? The Light Church didn’t fear it in the least!

“An acrimonious falling-out? No, no. I’m just practicing what you preach, that’s all,” replied Meng Lei.

“Since Your Holiness insists on pushing us into a corner, then don’t hold it against us if we don’t show you any civility!” Pope Hayes commanded in a deep shout, “Get into the Angel Battle Formation!”

“Yes, Your Holiness!”

At once, the nine true gods rushed into the sky. They turned into nine streaks of light and appeared all around Meng Lei, instantly surrounding him.

The next moment, a pure and holy milky-white glow arose from around them and converged above them to form the hologram of a sacred and stately-looking angel.

The angel hologram gradually solidified as they continuously infused light-elemental power of divinity into it. Toward the end, the angel hologram had completely solidified and taken on a physical form!

Boom!

Terrifying pressure from the angel swept outward, spreading into the surroundings. The force of its aura had already surpassed the level of a true god and reached that of a lesser deity.

“Suppress him, Angel’s Battle Formation!”

All nine true gods let out a furious shout at the same time. As though wanting to caress Meng Lei on the head, the angel above them reached out its arms and pressed down lightly on Meng Lei.

Boom!

A vast, majestic, and huge force instantly weighed down on Meng Lei as well as the dimension around him, producing soft screeches.

“That’s not a bad move. What a shame...”
