Chapter 968: Chapter 20: Chief Divine Favored!

Beneath the night sky, dark currents surged.

The intelligence network of the Wealth Church, combined with Duncan’s god perspective, almost locked down all opposing forces in Seergant.

Generally, as long as Sharella-Tebrant sent people to gather basic information about the enemy and their surrounding activity areas, Duncan could personally visit and identify most of the enemy units.

Throughout Seergant, there were many enemy units tinged with red, but those bleeding red were definitely people from the Suffering Church.

Dimension Space.

Under the god perspective.

In Duncan’s projection page appeared a large number of green-marked units, all members of the Wealth Church and Succor Faith, while nearby were light green friendly units, reinforcements swayed by Lady Sestha White, the Purple Dragon Knight Order of the Comer Kingdom.

"Prepare for action."

Duncan put on the Insight helmet, which was endowed with Dark Vision, and the Wealth Church’s wealth could easily arm someone to the teeth.

"Switch occupation level."

Duncan raised his hand to open the occupation panel of his human form, replacing the Golden Guardian with the Holy Paladin, which was his gain from killing the Blood Mark Priest, Velaris.

This enemy’s identity was very complex.

He was first Tyr’s Holy Paladin, then fell to become a Corrupted Dark Guardian, and later served the Goddess of Torment, Lavita, gaining the Evil God’s Divine Grace through his merits.

So after Duncan killed him, he dropped two very different abilities.

—"Evil Strike (needs replacing Paladin or Holy Knight occupation levels): In your next attack, add your charm to the attack hit, add your occupation level to additional damage, only effective on enemies of the evil alignment."

—"Good Strike (needs replacing Corrupted Dark Guardian occupation level): As above."

The cleric’s three strike abilities.

One Evil Strike, one Good Strike, and the last one, Strike Heresy (against heresy), which is a very rare ability not owned by regular professions.

—"Human Form: Duncan-Starfall (Order-neutral) [Convertible Camp]!"

The once orderly and good paladins are also evolving with the times, with some attempting to use the power of vows to replace the alignment restrictions of order and goodness, substituting divine spirit power for Supreme Holy Light. If this trend continues, paladins, once the embodiment of goodness, will become the true divine enforcers.

—"Supreme Slash LV1 (Supreme Slash) (Legendary feat): When you perform Evil Strike, Good Strike, Strike Heresy (against heresy), additionally add twice your occupation level as damage; can be increased up to ten times (elevenfold)."

Thanks to Master of Revelries, Kovar.

He blocked a Supreme Slash for Duncan; otherwise, Duncan wouldn’t have found it as easy to kill him.

As the projection page changed, the occupation levels of the human form gradually switched with no significant alteration in abilities because the Golden Guardian belonged to the Warrior of the Divine Hall system, only adding a ’Holy Cure’ and an ’Evil Strike’.

"The enhancement in combat power is quite evident."

"To deal with evil targets, switch to the Holy Paladin level; to handle good targets, switch to the Corrupted Dark Guardian level."

"No, that’s not right."

"I can study the Weapon Master’s strike techniques later, even considering the Craft Qi Slash."

This human form isn’t considering magic capabilities for now.

Not looking down on mages, but the Magic Goddess just recently expired, and it’s still the turbulent period of Ophal Chaos.

(Note 1: Only until the new Magic Goddess fully takes over the divine position does it gradually recover.)

(Note 2: Approximately 6 to 8 years later, Clevonor becomes the new Death God.)

"Evil Strike is more useful."

"After all, I’m planning to venture into the Bottomless Abyss and Bato Hell in the future."

After completing the occupation level switch in the human form, Duncan re-entered combat stance, with the Holy Paladin panel showing an ’Oath’ mark, but he had no intentions of swearing any oaths yet, as they would impose greater constraints.

The instant the command for action was given, the entire range of Seergant was instantly startled by a violent explosive sound!

Boom.

In the port district, near the southwestern highland, the vast mansion gate of Fichy-Silver Tongue was blasted open; this guy loved using magic locks so much that by the time any rogue picked the lock, the enemy would be alarmed.

Can’t pick the lock? Just blow the door off.

As a squad of shield-carrying Golden Guardians stormed in, chaos ensued in the mansion’s front hall, with servants trembling at the sight of the fully armed soldiers, and sharp alarms ringing from the back courtyard before camouflaged secret doors opened, and three two-meter-tall clay golems marched out.

"Intruder detected!"

"Activate automatic defense measures!"

All the servants in the front hall were immediately seized, and any resistance was met with ruthless slaughter. After a brief period of chaos, the situation was quickly controlled, and in another direction in Seergant, the Purple Dragon Knight Order led by Prince Yasang also launched an assault, directly breaking through the hidden enemy mansion.

"Why does the Great Mother intrude upon my mansion at night?" Fichy-Silver Tongue’s somewhat panicked voice sounded.

He didn’t approach the front hall, instead appearing wielding a magic staff atop the tower in the backyard, looking at the church members encircling his mansion, maintaining his countenance as he spoke, "Isn’t there some misunderstanding in this?"

At this time, the figure of the Mother of Great Bliss emerged, with a hint of hatred in her eyes, gritting her teeth as she spoke, "You’re secretly conspiring with cultists and murdering the high-level church members."
