Chapter 801 -452: The Supreme Decree of Hope Part 2

For many years, the three Great Divine Arts were only seen in the records of the Holy Code: the Great Wishing Spell, the Great Prophecy Spell, the Echo Spell. No one had ever successfully performed them, and nobody knew what the Great Wishing Spell looked like.

Now, it’s certified by Archbishop Dyson, so it definitely can’t be fake.

How impressive, His Eminence Anthony truly is the one recognized by the gods, having mastered the Great Wishing Spell as soon as he ascended the throne.

Anthony smiled inscrutably and cast an approving glance at Dyson. Although he had hinted to him beforehand, the gasps of astonishment, the cries, and the trembling tones all added shocking force and impact, making the exclamation utterly credible.

Of course, this wasn’t the Great Wishing Spell. The so-called three Great Divine Arts aren’t something that a mortal could release. At least, it required the gods to descend and stimulate it with Divine Power to be unleashed.

In the past thousand years, there were no gods, so of course, no one had seen the three Great Divine Arts. What he used was just an extensive Face Purification Technique, treating everyone it reached and naturally alleviating their pain and refreshing their spirits.

All these preparations were for the following announcement: “For a thousand years, the gods have fallen, the Evil God has stolen the Power of Light, and supported the usurpers and Guliani to power, until the God of Equality and Balance is reborn.”

“I know there are still some deceived by the usurpers below, whom I shall not name. I, on behalf of the Light, forgive your sins; the past sins are redeemed, and for the future, devote your faith to the Light.”

“The God of Balance is wise and valiant, with boundless Divine Power, eyes like torches, seeing through the mists of myriad realms, reaching directly to the shores of the Light (omitting ten thousand words)…”

“To prevent the Evil God from reincarnating through the fallen deities, starting today, the Church of Light will abolish all other god statuses, only venerating the God of Light and the God of Balance, making the God of Equality and Balance the main deity, on par with the Light.”

“The above is the supreme decree of hope, from the Pope, Saint Anthony.”

The crowd below burst into an uproar, everyone staring wide-eyed in disbelief, involuntarily stirring. People looked at each other, whispering and exchanging glances.

The matter was too explosive. Anthony had actually abolished all god statuses, only venerating the God of Balance and the God of Light, and even promoting the God of Balance as the main deity?

Heaven, can this really be done? What about the God of Arbitration? The God of Light and Darkness? The Goddess of Redemption?

This wasn’t merely about abolishing a god status; it would trigger a series of changes. Each god status had a string of departments and a crowd of vested interests.

For instance, the God of Arbitration, who solely managed a Judgment Hall, with a powerful Judgement Army and a curia in every city—were these to be abolished as well?

Or consider the Goddess of Redemption, whose fame had allowed the priests of the curia to collect numerous healing fees. What would happen if the god status of the Goddess of Redemption was abolished and followers no longer came to priests for healing?

Some who realized their interests were compromised couldn’t help but feel restless, not considering whether Anthony would have initiated such a significant reformation of the Church if he weren’t confident.

The hymn began, countless angels spread their wings and flew into the air.

A vast figure of light landed on Anthony’s left, its majestic eyes watching over everyone below, and under its gaze, everyone felt an endless authority.

“The…Lord Light?!” someone cried out in surprise.

A goddess holding a hammer in one hand and a rope in the other landed on Anthony’s right, her benevolent gaze watching over everyone.

“The Life-saving Hammer! The Lifesaving Rope! Is it the Goddess of Redemption?!”

Thump thump thump! Thump thump thump! All the Paladins pounded their breastplates, shouting in unison, “Obey! Obey! Obey!”

With the two deities present, along with the angels and Paladins watching sternly, everyone knew that this was still not the full extent of Anthony’s power.

Realizing the vast gap in strength, even those reluctant individuals had no choice but to kneel down, shouting in unison, “Obey the Pope’s orders!”

The next steps would be to amend the Holy Code, destroy the statues, and revise the scriptures; from now on, the Church of Light would only acknowledge two main gods, the God of Light and the God of Balance.

The Goddess of Redemption didn’t care much; she disappeared as soon as the ceremony ended. However, the God of the Dark seemed rather indignant, muttering, “You make us oversee the ceremony so you can more smoothly abolish our god status? Isn’t that too bullying? Can’t you leave our god statuses intact?”

In the storm of faith, Lord Light had already fallen; naturally, it was the Dark that appeared at the ceremony. The other side of Light is Dark, and the other side of Dark is naturally Light, so it had no flaw in pretending to be Lord Light.

“No, just being a lesser god suits you well; do you still want to divide the faith? Honestly, you can’t handle it, just be a lesser god,” said Anthony.

If the foundation of the Church of Light weren’t Light, Anthony would have eliminated even the main deity of Light and switched to worship the Balance entirely to prevent diluting Anthony’s power.

After the coronation ceremony, the Church of Light was firmly in his hands; he had already placed his loyal followers in all key positions. Even if the Dark and the Redemption hadn’t shown themselves during the coronation, those dissatisfied couldn’t have caused any trouble.

Bringing them out was just Anthony being kind, not wanting too many people to die.

After everything was settled, Anthony quickly removed his crown and teleported to the Holy Kingdom, finding the big cat who was sleeping: “Big cat, big cat, quickly send me over.”
