I Have a Dice Left by a God-Chapter 403 - 270: Earth Pope Avantido

The Dragon Queen finally let out a sigh of relief and collapsed, finally, finally defeating this monster!

She was really too careless this time. If it hadn't been for Li Xin, even one or two more angels might not have subdued Oliver. Such a divine angel, even if unable to defeat them, running away and delaying would be easy. However, he was also arrogant and underestimated Master Xin.

Li Xin stood there, all his strength and body potential drained, using his knife to prop himself up to avoid collapsing, as his vision began to blur.

Though heavily injured, the Dragon Queen's mind was clear. She had to leave this place immediately; the Earth Temple's reinforcements could arrive at any moment, and the Night Patrol might not hold them off. After taking a deep breath, just as she had the thought of moving, her body wouldn't listen, and she prostrated herself on the ground, bowing deeply.

The clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed, the night suddenly turned to day, a golden light shone upon the earth, overwhelming divine power descending, a power Li Xin was not unfamiliar with, having felt something similar under the fog, only now appearing in Hedan.

In the sky, a giant golden eye slowly took shape.

The Dragon Queen didn't dare look at the sky but closed her eyes, letting out a gentle sigh; no wonder the Porcelain Doll had warned her to be mindful.

Li Xin looked up at the giant eye in the sky, a carefree, contemptuous smile at the corner of his mouth, thinking a cigarette would be nice right now, as the golden eye opened, looking at Li Xin.

Aunt Fei, Xueyin, Old Luo, Christie, I'm coming home…

Boom!

In an instant, all of Li Xin's bones shattered, leaving him collapsed on the ground.

Yet the giant golden eye that accomplished all this did not disappear.

"Purify!"

From above the sky, an ancient, solemn divine voice in Hera language resounded, the majestic tone undeniable, a massive golden sword covering several thousands of meters descended from the sky.

The Dragon Queen and remaining Night Patrol members were pressed to the ground, unable to move, forced to give up resistance, though they hadn't seen it before, they knew who had acted.

However, at this moment, a pale golden figure appeared midair, throwing a scroll towards the sky, with the index and middle fingers of the right hand pointing together to pronounce, "Seal!"

The scroll instantly expanded, within a blink covered the sky and resisted the power of the giant eye, also shielding from most of the divine might.

Celestial Principle School's Demigod — Vladimir.

Seeing the lifeless Li Xin on the ground, Vladimir sighed deeply, a step too late. As the existence second only to the Earth Pope in Hedan, the struggle between the Celestial Principle School and the Earth Temple had persisted for long, yet never engaged directly, birthing Vladimir the demigod amidst this survival struggle. However, upon reaching demigod status, Vladimir truly felt the terror of an ancient sub-deity.

He lost, so he volunteered to become the Golden Tree's nourishment to ensure the survival of the Celestial Principle School and Ola's bloodline; this was their level of struggle and mutual understanding.

Looking again at the golden eye in the air, his tone became heavy, "Your Holiness Ovanti, enough."

This was one of the supreme existences on the Dao Yuan Continent, the spirit soul of the Earth Mother Goddess Court's Pope Ovanti, who had been in seclusion, able to extinguish everyone with a single glance.

The golden eye slowly regarded Vladimir, the entire world seemingly set in motion by it, with resonant sounds of morning bells and evening drums slowly ringing out, "Do you intend to obstruct me?"

Striking the heart like thunder, while the golden greatsword continued to press downward. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Vladimir raised both hands, withstanding the tidal wave-like pressure, "Oliver massacred civilians, fell into the demonic path, and deserved death, Your Holiness, you cannot defy the Sixth Epoch's law just because he is your son; divine power cannot interfere with royal authority. If this continues, the Earth Mother Goddess Court will also head towards extinction."

The golden eye remained unchanged, only gazing fixedly at Vladimir with divine might, "Not enough."

"This is the condition for which I'm willing to nourish the Golden Tree, regardless of who, violating the law requires a price. I think the Pope understands better than I do. Let's stop here; back then, the gods couldn't achieve it, nor can you," Vladimir said calmly, the Celestial Principle School having lost in its struggle with the Church Court, lost very badly, even himself, the newly appointed demigod, entangled within the Pope's schemes.

The law is but a deterrent; none can grasp the boundaries entirely. Indeed, while he could disregard everything, the Celestial Principle School would surely be annihilated, yet the Earth Temple would not. He couldn't wager on an ancient being's backups, arguably, even if Moncalleta perished, the Earth Temple may not vanish.

The golden eye stared at Vladimir, "Still not enough."

For a moment, it seemed as though the entire space was about to freeze, while the golden greatsword hovering overhead once more began its descent, and everyone felt their souls suffocating, sensing that they could be crushed at any moment.

Vladimir furrowed his brow; the Celestial Principle School had no more chips, the Golden Tree needed a demigod's nourishment. To secure the survival of the monarchy and the Celestial Principle School, he had to do this, which the Pope had already calculated. Actually tearing things apart would result in obliteration for both him and the Celestial Principle School, whilst the Pope would merely suffer significant attrition, a mutual concern on both sides.

Seeing hope, Vladimir was unafraid of sacrificing himself, as this was the best balance he could seek.

But Ovanti's current reaction...

At this moment, a nun, barefooted with jade-like feet and carrying a small basket, dressed in a gray robe, stepped out, breaking the frozen, terrifying field formed by the Pope and Vladimir the demigod. The nun quietly gazed up at the golden giant eye in the sky, "Your Holiness Ovanti, my master asked me to convey to you that she agreed to your condition, and within three years, the person you need will go to the Church Court."

The golden giant eye cast a look at the nun, whose eyes were clear and sincere, seemingly trying to pierce through her soul. Vladimir's scroll gathered like a whirlwind conquering clouds, forming the Holy Word, and the giant eye dissipated, with the oppressive divine might also vanishing.

The priests engaged in battle on the periphery also stopped, withdrawing without pursuing the Celestial Principle School's scholars nor the Night Patrol.

The nun bowed slightly to Vladimir, "Mr. Vladimir, I'll take this person away; I'll find him a quiet place to rest."

Vladimir glanced at the shapeless Li Xin, his gaze reflecting a helpless sigh, as his body gradually dissipated; he had not personally arrived, still bound within the Golden Tree, only his spirit soul had come.

The nun gently picked up Li Xin from the ground, placing him into the basket, ignoring everyone else, turning to walk into the dense forest, disappearing from sight within a few steps.

After a while, David and Kan arrived, cautiously checking the surroundings, swiftly leaving with the Dragon Queen, while Ma Zhe's corpse was carried away by the late-arriving Night Patrol, leaving behind a scene of chaos on the battlefield.

The sky returned to darkness, the estate fully restoring silence, more dilapidated than before. At this time, a tall figure cloaked in dim shadows emerged, regretfully glancing at where Li Xin used to be, slowly moving to where Oliver had died. Glancing at the ashes on the ground, he slowly crouched down, his hand sifting through the ashes as if searching for something, his expression both surprised and disappointed. Putting force into his fingers, he dug into the soil, his eyes gradually revealing delight, extracting small lump-like things, as continuous power flowed from his hands into the ground. Dark purple light bloomed from the lumps, beginning to coalesce like a living entity, forming into a thorny ball-like object, emitting the glow of a Divine Relic.

"The old thing wore down extensively, no wonder…"
