With the Church's foundation, even without Tang Qi's intervention, Leckter's chances of success were slim.

But now, the one attempting to defile the "Lord of Light" again was an old monster from the Dark Era.

The Second Rotten Head who had devoured the Holy Confessor, clad in the Thorny Suit, wielding the Confession Sword, had control over a warship that once mobilized all of the Twelve Saints... If the Lord of Light were not asleep, such power would have been insignificant.

But while the "Lord" slumbered, no matter how strong the Church's foundation, could it resist such a force?

Those who were pondering this were not just the knights, but also the officials, the World Tree, the Ancient Mystical Vault... all these Order Organizations, while the Mysterious Deformed Show, the Horror Devourers, Mam Sanatorium, and other Evil Organizations were all excitedly stirring.

In the Divine Eagle Federation, once more into the depth of the night.

The majority of the populace slept, while some large cities still twinkled with neon lights.

A modest town resembling a village, pure and serene, with a crude church, before which lay a stone square and a rough statue of the Lord of Light, a sculpture with barely outlined contours.

Boom!

With silent ripples, a gargantuan, unimaginable warship, slowly made its way through the undulating waves, appearing above the Second Holy City.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three dull thuds came from Black Mountain.

Attempting to launch a surprise attack, three Legendary knights from the Bright Church, despite unleashing their strongest combat powers and utilizing powerful Curios at that moment, were merely flicked away by the Second Rotten Head with a wave of his hand, the light of confession shimmering, as their figures tumbled down the mountainside.

They were seriously wounded but not dead, clearly left alive intentionally by the Second Rotten Head.

Within the Federation, Jiatai City, Holy Eagle Nest City, Saint Niya City, Atlantis City... the strongholds of the major Order Organizations burst forth with robust beams of light, acting without hesitation, striking the "warship" in unison.

Among them, the headquarters of the Bright Church in Jiatai City took the most aggressive action.

Once again emerging were the Demigod Level strong individuals who had acted during the "Lechter Incident," and within the depths of the Church, an even more terrifying power was about to be unleashed.

Strangely enough, the "Lord of Thorns" statue, which should have acted again, was not activated this time.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Attacks from all directions simultaneously bombarded the "warship."

But contrary to expectations, the image of the ship being destroyed did not materialize; all attacks were halted by the "Pla Field Shield."

On the ship, Tang Qi and other spectators felt a strong tremor.

In a daze, they seemed to witness a "Mysterious War" between the Transcendents from the New Continent of the Dark Era and a Species like the Pla Clan from an Exotic Realm.

"Such a shocking scene it must have been."

While this thought flickered, everyone saw again.

When half of the warship descended upon the Second Holy City, under the cover of the Pla Field, one after another, robust and pitch-black Mechanical Cannons exuding a cold and destructive aura, emerged with a thunderous rumble, their mouths emitting a horrifying ghost light.

They were all aimed at the Holy City.

Everyone seemed to be able to foresee just how terrifying a scene was about to unravel.

At Jiatai City, the Church headquarters.

A figure holding "the gospel," clad in a lavish, intricate robe, appeared, surrounded by countless holy angelic apparitions, and sacred chanting arose, his voice like that of a Divine, resonating directly above the warship.

"Followers of the Rotten Father God, you shall not defile My Lord."

Everyone knew, this figure might well be the "Pope" of the New Continent.

Within the Federation's mysterious side, no more prestigious a Transcendent could be found than him.

But clearly, his status and power did not in the slightest deter the old monster from the Dark Era.

Sitting on that throne, wearing the "Thorny Suit," was the Second Rotten Head.

Hearing the Pope's "threat," he issued a sneer and then, feigning earnestness, spoke in a voice that echoed through the strongholds of all the major organizations and within the warship:

"I must declare in advance, the event that is about to happen has nothing to do with me, the Second Rotten Head."

"This, in fact, is the last wish of your most respected, Saint Confessor Martin Sims."

"Cough cough, his exact words were."

"I, the old man, have long found you hypocritical fellows displeasing to the eye. Come on, prepare to face the barrage of my War Cannon..."

As the Second Rotten Head began to speak, those who heard his words were driven to madness by the imminent scene.

Their anticipated scenario:

After surviving numerous Radiant Divine Battles and countless calamities, the Second Holy City is about to be turned into true ruins under the onslaught of the War Cannon, and this town will be completely erased from the map... This tragedy will occur before the awakening of the Lord of Light and other Gods.

The Bright Church, from top to bottom, neared insanity.

This time, unlike the Leckter incident, there was no preparation, no time to react, and the opponent was nearly a "Divine" creature from the Dark Era, an old monster who had diabolically acquired the Thorn Suit, enabling him to control a "warship."

In haste, not to mention the Bright Church, even combined with the official forces, it was impossible to organize an effective defense.

At this moment, only one person became aware of something amiss.

Tang Qi!

He first looked at the "Second Rotten Head" seated on the throne, and then turned his attention to a "War Cannon" that was sticking out of the ground nearby, as an unexpected Information Fragment burst open.

"Curio: Destruction Cannon, a war curio forged by the war race of the Pla Clan... on the verge of damage."

"Hm?"

An unexpected Information Fragment made Tang Qi's expression shift, his gaze returning to the Black Mountain.

He saw the Legendary Knights of the Order Organizations attacking the Second Rotten Head, among them, only three Legendary Knights from the Bright Church were so desperate they began Burning their lives.

As for the spectators at the foot of the mountain, they were trying their best to preserve their own lives.

Zing!

Just as the Second Rotten Head was about to finish speaking, and the War Cannons were about to be fired.

A yellow squirrel suddenly darted from its spot, lightning-fast toward the summit of the mountain.

Its speed even surpassed the Legendary ones.

Joining the fight?

"No, I'm just a curious squirrel."

With that thought, Tang Qi quickly approached the highest point. In his eyes, the details on the body of the Second Rotten Head became much clearer, intense but obscure ghost light suppressed it, and due to the restriction of Life Levels between them, he couldn't read the Information Fragment.

Until the next moment, Tang Qi didn't care whether he would anger the Second Rotten Head.

He commanded in the depths of his heart, "Force analysis!"

"Boom"

Tang Qi's forceful probing immediately drew a gaze filled with terrible Corruption.

They were only separated by a few giant stone steps.

What Tang Qi saw was an almost flawlessly strong body of a King, clad in Thorny Clothes, wearing a thorny crown. However, atop the neck of this body, the head turned the sacred into the profane. With Tang Qi's strength, he couldn't even see clearly what state the rot had reduced the head to.

Filling his sight was an endless amount of decaying flesh, pus, maggots... He could feel that he was becoming like that.

The Second Rotten Head, who was annoyed by the prying gaze, was expecting to see a powerful Order warrior, but to his surprise, a yellow squirrel wearing a Detective Hat, with a pipe in its mouth and a rascally appearance, entered his rotten vision.

A squirrel can be a detective?

Being sealed for many years, this doubt unwittingly surfaced in the Second Rotten Head's mind.
