From the Ussuri Shallow all the way to the Assumption Cathedral.

Thousands of kilometers across.

No one expected Tianji Mansion’s retaliation would come so quickly... The matter at the Celestial Emperor Capital had just concluded, and not even settled.

Summer Yue and Chen Lusi appeared at the Assumption Cathedral, only taking less than an hour from their appearance to raise the church.

Because the speed was simply too fast, even the ’Self’ who set out immediately upon receiving the news from within the country failed to catch up, only managing to catch a glimpse of the true moment the Heavenly Punishment Weapon burst.

In fact, this speed was not quite normal.

Everyone felt it was abnormal.

But Summer Yue and Chen Lusi made it happen... Such speed and response efficiency, considering the final result, were enough to make everyone’s hair stand on end.

Because there was simply no time to react.

The Russian Orthodox Church only truly realized what was happening when the opponents were at their doorstep.

Other onlookers, who were already planning to investigate the traces left by the First Rider Position near the Ussuri Shallow and saw the churches destroyed by Chen Lusi and Summer Yue along the way, might not have made it in time otherwise.

Imagine this.

If it was oneself... the event happened in the morning, by afternoon the people were gone.

This rapid response capability really makes one wary, especially after witnessing the power of the Heavenly Punishment Weapon...

However.

They were completely overthinking it.

The reason Tianji Mansion’s speed was so fast this time was mainly because the ones who came were Summer Yue and Chen Lusi.

Of course, there was also the credit of the Talisman.

Both could frantically accelerate without regard to cost.

Not to mention Summer Yue’s idealistic Authority Ability, Chen Lusi wasn’t particularly understood either, regarding how he replenished Spirit, they hadn’t had the chance to ask yet.

Just regarding Chen Lusi himself, he had actually replenished Spirit several times along the way.

Even though he had solidified the Stone, the magnitude of Spirit within him multiplied several times, yet under such high-strength long-distance assaults, it was still not enough.

Others without similar means to quickly absorb Spirit.

Really wouldn’t manage this.

Indeed.

Summer Yue’s method of bringing territory when going out was effective.

Even reaching within the Chamomile Alliance, Chen Lusi could still absorb external Spirit... perhaps because he could mimic Summer Yue’s Authority Ability.

This action could be said to be the strongest force and most unexpected members of Tianji Mansion working together, changing either one of them would surely not yield the same effect.

But outsiders were unaware of this, so they still felt terrified.

Ultimately speaking.

The Heavenly Punishment Weapon and its unexpected results were too much...

That was the Russian Orthodox Church... although there are more than one autonomous Eastern Orthodox churches, it is the largest one currently, and still the one in a leading position!

At the scene, there was even a Shepherd Leader of over two hundred years old.

While aging diminishes physical functions, an Empowerer’s strength grows, as only physical functions degrade.

Besides that, there were three Cardinals, and even the phantom of a God was summoned in the end. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

But in the end... except for Tretyakov, they were all lifted, not even residue remained.

Even... the Russian Orthodox Church could hardly be said to have any capability to resist.

The Pope and the two of the Cardinals were contained by Summer Yue alone.

And the remaining Tretyakov barely stood at first sight.

Until the end, no fourth Cardinal dared to approach the Assumption Cathedral.

Just two people, facing a colossal church, not only forcefully completed the suppression, but with that weapon called ’Heavenly Punishment,’ directly lifted the entire Assumption Church and the phantom of God as well.

Summer Yue didn’t even lift a finger at the time!

This, not to mention those who witnessed it first-hand, but anyone who heard would surely have shivers running down their spine.

The black-market forums, when those intelligence brokers who witnessed Assumption Cathedral disappear into thin air posted what they saw.

The whole forum fell into dead silence.

For a while, no one spoke.

Of course they knew about the Heavenly Punishment Weapon.

With the news released by the Russian Orthodox Church, and intelligence brokers fueling the fire, this thing was long an open secret within the black market scope.

But neither the Russian Orthodox Church nor the intelligence brokers had ever said the Heavenly Punishment Weapon could achieve such a level.

At the time their evaluation of the Heavenly Punishment Weapon... was a variant weapon seven to ten times stronger than the top-level advanced weapons.

But now, they said, this variant weapon only predicted to be seven to ten times stronger than the top-level advanced weapons... directly lifted the entire Assumption Cathedral; among what was lifted was also the phantom of God.

And it wasn’t just one intelligence broker saying this... but all the intelligence brokers together saying it.

Two people! In less than an hour, completely suppressed the Russian Orthodox Church! And used the Heavenly Punishment Weapon to lift the Assumption Cathedral and Phantom of God!

Faced with this news, silence was the only reaction.

At this moment, almost everyone was digesting the information spread by the intelligence brokers, hardly daring to believe.

But.

They waited for half an hour, and not a single person came forward to disagree.

Although most black-market intelligence brokers are giant dominators in their territory, or extremely powerful loners, some are simply guest stars from large organizations, most Empowering organizations have needs, so most times they simply do not offend them.
