Chapter 1665: Chapter 1664: Twelve Popes, Souls!
This time, Qin Feng was certain that thing wouldn’t resurrect again.
When he used "Ruffians" to obliterate the monster Doggo the first time, Doggo had resurrected using some disgusting unknown liquid inside its body. Thinking back to when he’d slashed open a wound earlier, it had also relied on that liquid to heal. Qin Feng realized then that the secret of this bastard’s resurrection lay in that nauseating liquid!
So.
This time, when he used the power of "Ruffians," he aimed straight at the liquid itself!
Just as he expected.
The monster Doggo now lay motionless, showing not the slightest sign of resurrection.
However.
Qin Feng had just relaxed when he suddenly saw that charred monster jerk violently again!
"What?!!"
Qin Feng froze.
Still not dead?
If it still didn’t die, then he’d really be out of options!
In Golden Regeneration Aura mode, he’d used "Ruffians" continuously. His body was still in a charred state right now, never mind fighting that monster again!
Not just him.
At this moment, Yin Chuan and the others in the distance all felt their hearts leap into their throats!!
At this rate.
They were definitely done for!
The monster Doggo’s body suddenly went into a spasm, then its huge mouth gaped open and it spat out a gigantic egg!!
The shell cracked apart.
A person crawled out from inside!
It was actually Doggo!
However.
Doggo’s power was now extremely weak. Compared to the charred Qin Feng who’d burned himself using "Ruffians," his condition looked even worse. He lay on the ground, on his last breath.
Qin Feng finally let out a breath of relief and said, "Fuck, scared the hell out of me!"
Yin Chuan and the others in the distance saw this and burst into excited laughter.
"Great! This is just great!!"
"We’re going to win!"
"Every sacrifice we made was worth it!!"
"Awesome!!"
"..."
Joyful tears streamed down everyone’s faces.
Yet.
Right at this moment.
The originally clear sky suddenly darkened!
In the sky.
Rolling black clouds abruptly appeared!
Everyone looked up.
On the edge of those dark clouds, twelve figures wearing robes of different colors were standing!
"Th-that’s..."
Everyone was utterly stunned.
The twelve robed figures streaked down like bolts of lightning, landing directly atop the steel castle!
Everyone finally saw them clearly and stared wide‑eyed in shock. "T-they’re... the Twelve Popes of God’s Society!!!"
As the words fell.
The entire Lake City Camp tensed up again.
Only now did they remember that Doggo of God’s Society was merely a "puppet." The ones who truly held the reins of power in God’s Society were those Twelve Popes!!
At this moment.
The Twelve Popes stood on top of the Iron Fortress, looking down at Qin Feng and Doggo, eyes as lofty as a Heavenly God’s.
One of them, dressed in white, spoke loudly, "Brats, what are you doing? Get back here, now!"
He hadn’t deliberately raised his voice; it was calm and unhurried.
However.
It rang out like rolling thunder, audible within a hundred‑li radius!
His words carried a supreme and exalted aura.
As if refusal meant immediate descent into hell!!
His voice faded.
The hundreds of thousands from the World Alliance who had been hiding far away began to surge back this way.
Soon.
The area around the steel castle was packed with people from the World Alliance, all prostrating themselves on the ground, kowtowing to the Twelve Popes!
At the foot of Cloud Peak, Yin Chuan saw this and shouted to everyone, "Charge in and save Qin Feng!!"
As soon as he spoke.
Hundreds of thousands surged toward the Iron Fortress as well.
The innermost circle was now occupied by people of the World Alliance, about five hundred thousand in number.
The Lake City Camp also had five hundred thousand.
But that five hundred thousand included many from the Four Great Armies, whose combat strength was obviously lacking.
The difference in overall strength between the two sides was stark.
However.
At this moment, no one backed down!!
Standing atop the Iron Fortress, the Twelve Popes watched them charge. Not a trace of concern flickered in their eyes; instead, faint smiles curled at the corners of their mouths.
Right then.
Under the Iron Fortress, Doggo struggled to his feet with difficulty and said to the Twelve Popes, "Your Holiness, p-please grant me power. I want to kill Qin Feng!"
Qin Feng having forced him to this extent made him seethe with rage.
The White Robed Pope let out a cold laugh and said indifferently, "Useless trash. We thought you had already settled things here, but after so many deaths you still haven’t. Just go die."
"What??"
Doggo was stunned for a moment, then said, "Your Holiness, I just need Potion to recover. Please grant me Potion!!"
"That Potion is that precious. How could we possibly waste more on you now? Stop dreaming."
The White Robed Pope said.
"But, but... aren’t we going to become God’s servants?"
Doggo was somewhat dumbfounded, unable to believe they were treating him like this.
"Yes."
The White Robed Pope continued, "There are only twelve servants of God. So we won’t be wasting any more resources on you."
As he spoke.
The White Robed Pope took out a half‑man‑tall medicine bottle and set it on top of the Iron Fortress.
Seeing this, Doggo’s pupils shrank sharply. He stared blankly and said, "You... you’re abandoning me??"
"No shit. Isn’t it obvious?"
The White Robed Pope couldn’t even be bothered to look at him again. Together with the other popes, he took up a special formation around the bottle.
Right now.
Seeing this, Doggo fell into complete despair. He wanted to flee this place in a frenzy, but his power‑drained body gave out. The moment he turned, he fell flat on the ground and shouted back at the people behind him, "Quick, get me out of here! They’re going to kill people, they’re going to slaughter everyone here!!"
"What?!!"
The crowd started to stir in alarm.
Doggo shouted again, frenzied, "I’m not lying to you! They’re after your Souls—get me out of here with you!!"
Not only the World Alliance, even everyone in the Lake City Camp was stunned.
No one knew what was going on.
"Heh."
The White Robed Pope sneered and said, "How could we possibly let you leave? We’ve waited for this day a long time. Before we meet the great Demon Emperor, we must prepare a greeting gift for his venerable self. Your Souls are the most precious treasure of all."
As his words fell.
The Twelve Popes began chanting a Spell in unison.
The Spell sounded like the voice of divinity itself!
It threw the entire sky into chaos, made the whole earth seem as if it were spinning, and plunged everyone around the steel castle into a world where heaven and earth were rotating.
One by one, they couldn’t stand steady, their heads splitting with pain!!
"Damn!!"
Yin Chuan tried to steady his mind and get out of there.
But he felt a powerful suction appear within the whirling sky above, madly drawing in his Soul—and the Souls of everyone present!!
"Once we absorb your Souls, the great Demon Emperor will be able to return to the Strongest Realm!" The White Robed Pope laughed wildly with excitement. "Then he’ll lead us into the vast cosmos, instead of leaving us stuck in this trash heap of the Lower Realm, hahahahaha..."
Crack!
Crack!
Bolts of lightning flashed crazily.
Countless Souls, like strands of smoky cloud, were sucked up into the vortex in the sky...
