Hearing the voice that rang in his mind, the man in the black robe was slightly dazed, then immediately showed a serious expression.

He didn't know what kind of enemy could be called a formidable foe by the existence within him, but such an enemy was definitely terrifying to him.

"Bishop, what's wrong?"

Noticing the black-robed man's abnormality, a robust old man cautiously asked him.

"Nothing, just thinking about some trivial matters... You all continue to pray, I'm going out to handle something."

With that, the black-robed man quickly walked out of the Idol Temple.

"Village Chief, what about the Bishop?"

A sharp-eyed villager nearby saw the black-robed man's hurried departure and immediately stepped forward, asking the robust old man in a low voice.

His expression was somewhat panicked, as in his view, even the black-robed Bishop, Liens, the 'Spokesperson of God,' felt a matter was tricky, so for small fries like them, it would be a huge disaster.

Moreover, he also knew how unspeakable the village's current actions were, which was why he anxiously sought out the village's decision-maker to inquire about the situation.

Worshipping an evil god, even a remote mountain village like theirs knew what severe consequences this act would bring... The church would not let them off.

"Don't panic... Pray sincerely, and the 'God of War' will bless us."

The Village Chief was also a bit flustered, but given his age and the many experiences he had, he could still respond to the villager's questions without changing his expression.

He always maintained a steady demeanor, not letting the villagers below see his worries, so as to maintain his prestige in their hearts and better manage the village.

In this regard, the Village Chief did much better than the black-robed Bishop, who couldn't hide his thoughts.

Of course, it was also possible that the black-robed Bishop simply didn't care about these villagers, so he was too lazy to 'put on an act'.

"Village Chief, do you think it was the three of Lide who caused this?"

"I said at the time that we should search carefully and not let them escape. If we caught them, we should have directly sacrificed them to the 'God of War,' but the Bishop insisted..."

The villager was somewhat exasperated.

"Watch your words!"

"The Bishop's decision is a divine declaration; how can we mortals question it... Do you want to suffer divine punishment?"

The Village Chief sternly reprimanded that villager.

Upon hearing 'divine punishment,' the villager trembled all over, cautiously glanced at the nearby idol, and dared not say anything more.

"Continue with your daily prayers."

"The Bishop is just going to handle a 'small matter.' At worst, there's still the 'God of War.' Don't you believe in the 'God of War's' divine might?"

"And aren't I with you all... Don't worry, I'll inform everyone immediately if anything happens."

The Village Chief quietly comforted the villager, telling him not to worry too much; if the sky fell, taller people would bear the brunt, and it wouldn't be his turn to fret.

Hearing this, what else could that villager say? He could only suppress the panic in his heart, return to his original position, and continue to kneel and pray to complete his worship of the 'God of War'.

The story now splits into two parts.

After the black-robed Bishop walked out of the Idol Temple, he headed straight out of the village.

Along the way, villagers who were working immediately showed respectful expressions and bowed to him as he passed, only straightening up after his figure had disappeared into the distance.

He didn't pay attention to the villagers' reverence; his expression was normal, as if he had long been accustomed to a life where others bowed to him.

Glen Village was not very large, and soon, guided by the voice in his mind, he walked out of the village and arrived at a hillside, quietly waiting for something.

"They're here."

He didn't have to wait long before the voice in his mind prompted him that the person he was waiting for had arrived.

He looked up and saw an extremely fast figure flying towards them. In just the blink of an eye, that figure had already appeared before him.

After clearly seeing the newcomer's appearance, his expression instantly turned ferocious, and the anger in his heart transformed into surging killing intent flowing through his body; a ball of flame ignited from him.

"Oh?"

Liens, who had restarted an Instance instance and quickly rushed over, looked at the black-robed man in front of him with some surprise.

He hadn't expected to see an 'acquaintance' here; he remembered that about a month ago, he had buried this 'acquaintance' along with that family.

"Long time no see, Adonis, it seems I underestimated your 'luck' back then... Was it the gentleman inside you who saved you?"

Liens calmly greeted the 'resurrected' Adonis in front of him.

Although Adonis's 'resurrection' surprised him a little, this country was now dominated by 'fate,' and the occurrence of any event inevitably had a cause and a follow-up.

He could now perceive the fate enveloping Adonis.

Since 'Fate' allowed Adonis to revive, it meant that he could play a certain role in the development of fate. It was just unknown if this would be the end of his fate?

"Calm down!"

"You are not his opponent. Although you have broken through to Great Knight with my help, the gap between you and this person is still very large... Let me do it."

As he spoke, the will within Adonis took over his body.

"What is this gentleman's name?"

Watching the change in Adonis's aura, Liens asked with a smile.

"Antonio."

The will occupying Adonis's body calmly spoke its name.

"'God of War' Antonio... My apologies, my history is not very good, I haven't heard of your esteemed name, but your current state doesn't seem very good."

Liens continued to speak with a smile.

"The years of slumber have been too long; my name has long vanished from the whispers of mortals... But even so, you may not be able to do anything to me."

"How will you know unless you try?"

Liens and Antonio calmly met each other's gaze. The next moment, their two figures intertwined, and a cyan longsword and a flame-burning spear crossed paths.

"Hmm?"

Liens and Antonio both frowned slightly at the same time, because they both sensed that one of their commonly used methods had failed against the other.

"Killing intent is useless... Of course, since he calls himself the 'God of War,' he certainly wouldn't be unfamiliar with killing intent."

Although Liens realized that he couldn't read the opponent's killing intent, his inner self didn't fluctuate much because of it; he merely slightly changed his fighting style.

With his current almost transcendent swordsmanship, even without the convenient method of reading killing intent to predict the opponent's attack route, it wouldn't affect his strength much.

Anticipation, for him, was merely a very basic technique. Even without killing intent, he could still predict his opponent's movements based on his Sense .

However, his opponent was also not bad, even performing significantly better than him in terms of combat.

"As expected of the God of War."

Seeing that Antonio managed to block his normal attacks using only Adonis's inherent strength, Liens couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

To draw a parallel, the current situation was like his battle with Alfred before he comprehended 'All-Encompassing'. If Alfred hadn't held back, he would have been killed long ago.

And now, he wasn't holding back against the enemy in front of him, though, of course, he hadn't gotten serious yet.

Liens's eyes narrowed, and his longsword moved like lightning, turning into light and striking out.

Antonio tried to block with his spear, but the immense force on the longsword directly severed the spear, which was formed from fire elements, along with his body, into two halves.

Immediately after, a powerful slash descended.

It seemed as if, in the next moment, the 'God of War's' head, along with his body, which had been cut in two, would be split into four pieces.
