Chapter 979: Will of god (3)

The priests and nuns that followed the head priest all started shouting and demanding that the real item be handed over.

It seemed that these people really didn't have any patience at all.

At the same time, it seemed that they were used to bullying their way into getting what they wanted.

The head priest looked at me for a bit before suddenly saying in a condemning voice, "Do you understand what it means to go against the will of the great..."

Before he could finish, there was a sudden boom that came for the sky.

All of the priests and nuns looked up at the sky in shock when they heard this boom, but then they looked like they were inspired by it. The head priest looked like the winds were in his sails as he suddenly revealed a wide smile.

He looked back down at me and said, "Do you see? This is what you deserve for going against the great Zeno! As long as you bow down and offer the item like you should, then you'll be spared his wrath!"

He raised his hand as he said this, as if he was commanding the gods to smite me.

But I didn't say anything as I slightly knitted my brows.

That was because I could feel a strange heat coming from my hand. It wasn't a strong heat, but there was a bit of heat that was coming from my hand after the booming in the sky rang out.

I looked down to see that there was a faint light coming from the mark on my hand.

This was not something that had happened before, so I had no idea what was happening. However, based on the feeling that was coming from my hand, I could tell that there was something happening with the Mark of God.

After a long silence, when the head priest saw that I wasn't saying a single thing and even seemed like I was ignoring him, he was enraged. He pointed his finger at me and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

It was just that he didn't get a chance to say anything as the booming from the sky rang out again.

This time, there was even a flash of lightning that followed.

The head priest wasn't scared or surprised seeing this, his eyes even lit up when he saw the lightning gathering in the sky. It was as if he was seeing a revelation from his god with the look on his face.

As he saw the lightning gathering, the head priest continued by saying, "Now feel the power of..."

He didn't get to finish those words.

"Crack!"

Before he could finish what he had been about to say, there was a bolt of lightning that cut through the sky and fell down towards the ground. It was like the punishment of the gods that fell from the heavens.

It was just that it didn't fall on the person that one would expect it to fall on.

Instead of falling down on me, the bolt of lightning suddenly fell down on the head priest. "Ah!" The head priest screamed out in pain, but that scream of pain didn't last long as he couldn't keep forming words. His eyes rolled back in their sockets as he lost consciousness. There was even smoke that was coming from the head priest as the lightning coursed through him. In no time at all, his skin had been turned dark and it seemed like he was a charred pig more than anything.

The worst part of it all was that his jewelry had melted on his skin and was now attached to him.

The head priest after being struck by lightning truly created a pitiful sight.

But there was no one to blame other than himself.

These were the consequences of his own actions.

Once the bolt of lightning finished striking the head priest, there was only silence that filled the air. The only sounds that could be heard were the sounds of sizzling coming from the burnt skin of the head priest.

He just laid there on the ground like a burnt pig, unable to do a thing.

After that long silence, the priests and nuns from the same group as the head priest suddenly shouted, "How dare you use your black arts to ambush our head priest!"

One moment, they treated this lightning as divine lightning and the next, they were calling it black arts.

It seemed that there really was no consistency for them at all.

However, that didn't matter since there was nothing that they could do about this.

Or rather, when they tried to do something...

"Crack!"

There was another boom of thunder that rang out.

It seemed that as long as they tried to threaten me, the thunder would start booming and lightning would start gathering.

No matter how one looked at it, it seemed that this phenomenon was related to me.

Or rather, I could tell that it was related to the Mark of God that was on my hand. After all, it was only when the thunder and lightning appeared that the Mark of God heated up. It seemed that it was reacting in response to the thunder and lightning that appeared whenever this group tried to do anything.

Finally, one of the priests couldn't take it anymore and pulled out what seemed to be a staff, but there was also a sharp head to it. It seemed that this priest was skilled at using this staff that was shaped like a spear to attack people.

He was charging right at me, but it didn't seem like he would get to me as the royal guards came forward.

It was just that before he could reach me, there was a bolt of lightning that came down on

him.

He was turned into the same charred mess as the head priest.

"Now that's the real will of a god."
