Free Web NovelChapter 826: Chapter 94: The Grand Radiant Competition Festival and the Goddess’s Generous Divine Grace (Part 3)
"With the Divine Spirit above, it’s simply unbelievable. I have participated in the Midsummer Sacrificial Festival of Marle Castle several times, and it feels like this is the first time this competition festival is held here, yet the Divine Grace is no less than that of Marle Castle!"
"The Goddess truly favors this Lord. You must know that Marle Castle possesses the Eternal Flame Cathedral, a Holy Land, and the ceremonies it hosts have this scale of Divine Grace."
But before they could finish their amazement, waves of astonished exclamations erupted from the crowd.
From the parted clouds, one after another, Knights shining with golden light descended from the sky! It was as if the Celestial Kingdom’s Armament had descended into the Mortal World.
Oliver and Hilude both widened their eyes in disbelief, looking up at the Divine Army above, dozens of Knights made of golden flames riding on powerful mounts like Griffins and Flying Horses continuously descending from the clouds into the Mortal World.
This was an image they had never seen in their previous rehearsals and previews!
However, Su Li, who hadn’t participated in the rehearsals, thought this was normal. He put away his Warhammer, looked up at the sky, and exclaimed, "My ministers, why didn’t you tell me earlier about such an awe-inspiring scene? I was almost speechless by the divine anthem of the Celestial Kingdom and the formidable Armament of the Divine Realm. Is this the sacrificial piece we offered?"
Because he did not understand, he remained the calmest and was the first to realize that this tremendous momentum and vast Armament of the Celestial Kingdom were all caused by the Sun Bee Wax. Such a Legendary Level offering evidently greatly pleased the Sun Goddess.
Before the shocked Hilude and Oliver could respond, dozens of chess Knight pieces descending from the sky had already landed one by one, enveloping several dozen lucky individuals among the tens of thousands in the crowd.
Then one chess commander figure directly plunged downwards, entering Su Li’s body. In the next moment, Su Li only felt his entire power surge, transforming into a dignified Commander-in-Chief.
Violet was the first to recognize the situation, excitedly telling Su Li, "Lord, it is the ’Eternal War’! It is the reward from Her Majesty Violet to her most loyal follower!"
"Eternal War!" Su Li also raised his arm in excitement, and the myth resonated into reality!
Covered in golden light, his voice was supremely dignified and divine, like thunder echoing through the world or as if the Divine Spirit was delivering a holy decree through him.
After a brief moment of shock and silence, the square, which held tens of thousands, erupted into a thunderous roar.
"Eternal War!"
"Praise the Goddess!"
"For Glory!"
With the thunderous roar of tens of thousands, dozens of Sun Goddess Church followers selected by the golden chess pieces burst into divine light. Then, under the influence of the golden light, their bodies began to float upwards, their figures growing at least 25 meters tall.
Soon Su Li could clearly see that, including himself, a total of 48 chess pieces were distinctly floating in the sky. One side shone with the emblem of the fiery Bauhinia Clan, the other with the Golden Sun Emblem’s 16 rays, unmistakably the mark of the Sun Goddess Church.
Su Li then also clearly saw the opposing commander, none other than Paulus Friedrich, Vice-Dean of the Flame Sun Knight Order!
Paulus’s voice was equally paramount and holy. He drew his sword and shouted, "Exercise wisdom with the sword! The spirit of the Warrior, forever presiding over the battlefield skies! The Sun Goddess is watching us, charge forward with me!"
The Sun Goddess is watching us, this sacred proclamation instantly stirred the whole square, countless people craned their necks high to gaze at the golden chess plays in the sky.
Above the clouds, the geography, now depicted in golden lines, saw Commander Paulus leading 24 Golden Armor Knights, advancing with an unstoppable momentum, charging directly toward Su Li as if the heavens were collapsing.
It was clear that this formidable Divine Chosen Knight intended to use individual force to execute a decapitation tactic and decisively crush Su Li.
Yet Su Li was undaunted, his hands clasped powerfully, unleashing an incomparable presence and immense strength, filled with confidence at this moment.
He decisively swung his Warhammer, commanding the Knight Order to split into three divisions, personally leading the 12 most elite Knights to retreat while the other two divisions spread out linearly like eagle wings.
All three Knight divisions moved simultaneously, instantly arranging their battle formation like a Griffin spreading its wings in the sky.
Enveloped in golden light, the Knights moved with thunderous speed — there was hardly any time for maneuvering as both sides clashed savagely, golden light scattering like stars in the sky, colossal 20-meter plus Divine General figures vanishing, then enveloped in golden light by selected followers, floated slowly back down from the sky.
As soon as they landed, the Knights joyously exclaimed, "Great! I felt the strong Divine Grace; my power has directly advanced a Tier."
"Praise the Goddess! I have slain an enemy, and my weapon has been upgraded to a Refined Level Rune Longsword!"
"Praise the Goddess! I also received a Church Scripture marked with the Sun Emblem."
As more Knight lights dissipated in the sky, more and more Knights slowly descended back to the square, each feeling the intense Divine Grace of the Sun Goddess.
Meanwhile, the situation in the sky gradually became quite clear. Commander Paulus, who was embroiled in close combat, faced a determined failure.
He had misjudged Su Li’s power, not realizing that under the Light Flame’s enhancement, Su Li as Commander also possessed Divine Chosen Level strength, so the decapitation tactic was directly declared unsuccessful.
