Immediately, the True Cross emitted a large burst of Holy Light, wrapping around the boiling blood together with the Crown of Thorns, forming a massive ball of light.
The boiling blood spread rapidly like fast-replicating bacteria, first as a few drops, then a cluster, then half the size of a person, and finally transforming into a gigantic boiling blood sphere.
This miraculous sight left both the Church and the dark clan in awe.
Soon, the enormous blood sphere began to shrink, gradually taking on a human shape, seemingly reconstructing a human body.
“His Majesty is not dead, His Majesty is not dead!” Barnard, well-versed and experienced, suddenly realized, jumping and crying tears of joy.
“God bless… The Lord is almighty…” The Church members were overwhelmed with joy after their immense sorrow, trembling with excitement.
Leo, stunned for a moment, quickly understood that Grelio was using his own blood stored in the Crown of Thorns to be reborn.
At once, Leo transformed into a red light and rushed towards the shrinking blood sphere, shouting to Trystan, “What are you standing there for? Stop his rebirth!”
Trystan’s figure flashed, turning into a shadow, following Leo towards the shrinking blood sphere.
The two launched their attacks from three meters away from the blood sphere.
However, it was too late. Before Leo and Trystan’s attacks could break through the Holy Light protection of the Crown of Thorns and the True Cross, the blood sphere disappeared.
Then, in the place where the blood sphere had been, a blinding golden light appeared, accompanied by a triumphant laugh.
Leo and Trystan had to stop their attacks, their hearts sinking.
As the blinding golden light faded, a figure appeared-a person wearing the Crown of Thorns and holding the True Cross.
It was the reborn Pope Grelio!
Seeing Grelio reborn with their own eyes, the Church members wept with joy and began to sing praises.
On the other hand, the dark clan was filled with fear and astonishment.
No wonder the Pope dared to claim invincibility; he couldn’t be killed at all.
“Despicable and ignorant people…” Grelio looked at Leo and Trystan with a savior’s arrogance. “Did you think you could easily destroy me? You were wrong. With the Lord’s protection, how could I die?”
Leo said to Trystan in a deep voice, “It seems we must destroy both the Crown of Thorns and the True Cross to stop his rebirth.”
Trystan didn’t respond. His black robe billowed rapidly, and terrifying killing intent surged out.
Grelio laughed triumphantly. “I will be even stronger after my rebirth. Next, I will personally send you to hell!”
Leo extended his right hand, holding the Dragon Sword, ready to attack.
Trystan looked at Leo and said three words coldly, “Leave it to me.”
“Trystan, don’t be reckless. You can’t kill him alone.”
“I’ll say it again, leave it to me!” Trystan didn’t look at Leo again, his tone icy.
“Alright then, be careful.” Although Leo was dissatisfied, he refrained from causing internal conflict before the battle and stepped aside to see how much potential Trystan had.
“Is it just you again?” Grelio looked at Trystan with gritted teeth. “You destroyed the Holy Scarab and caused me immense pain. You will pay for this with your life.”
Trystan didn’t respond. He raised his hand, and black killing intent grew wildly around him, covering the entire sky.
Grelio’s face was full of confidence. He raised his hand, and abundant Holy Power from the Crown of Thorns and True Cross continuously flowed into his body.
Trystan formed a hand seal with both hands. From within the black killing intent, a giant black iron chain broke through the darkness, rushing towards Grelio in an attempt to entangle him.
“Deity Extinction!” Grelio launched his attack.
In an instant, the black iron chain met the Deity Extinction light beam.
The next second, they were locked in a stalemate, neither able to overpower the other.
Trystan was furious. Black killing intent surged out again. From deep within the canyon, five powerful black lights emerged once more.
These five black lights were even more ferocious than before, frantically besieging the Deity Extinction light beam.
The seemingly invincible Deity Extinction light beam dimmed under the assault of these five black lights.
Ten seconds later, under the combined attack of the black iron chain and five black lights, the Deity Extinction light beam was shattered into pieces.
This situation left Grelio shocked and pale.
In desperation, Grelio quickly summoned the Crown of Thorns and True Cross, instantly draining all Holy Power from his body to form a large and bright halo above his head.
The black iron chain struck the halo heavily, causing Grelio’s face to turn ashen and blood to trickle from his mouth.
The five black lights merged into the black iron chain. With another powerful strike from the black iron chain, the extremely strong protective halo shattered into pieces.
Grelio let out a scream as his entire body dimmed. He fell rapidly like a kite with a broken string until he landed on a cloud of Holy Light on the Church’s side.
“Your Majesty…” Barnard and others were horrified and quickly went forward to support Grelio.
Grelio struggled to get up from the cloud. His body was covered in blood, his clothes were torn apart as if he had been slashed by thousands of blades, looking extremely miserable.
For a moment, cheers erupted from the dark clan members.
Seeing their enemy’s arrogance, Grelio trembled with anger, his eyes blazing with fury but unable to speak.
“Your Majesty, what should we do?” Barnard asked worriedly.
At this moment, Trystan’s killing intent surged. The black iron chain carried rolling black killing intent as it attacked towards the Church’s side.
“I’ll block the attack. You all join forces to launch Deity Extinction!” Grelio’s expression was crazed as he shouted. He extended his hand and formed another protective halo above his head.
“Yes, Your Majesty.” The Church members responded in unison and formed their formation.
The black iron chain struck down again, heavily hitting the protective halo.
Grelio spat out another mouthful of blood but managed to withstand the black iron chain’s attack.
Behind Grelio, under Barnard’s guidance, over a thousand Church members began chanting loudly.
In an instant, the pitch-black sky was pierced by blinding Holy Light as layers of black killing intent were dispersed.
The terrifying energy of Deity Extinction began to gather rapidly.
Leo was shocked and shouted angrily, “What are you standing there for? Fight!”
The dark clan members snapped out of their daze and quickly joined forces to launch their attacks.
Under Trystan’s control, the black iron chain struck powerfully again. The protective halo finally couldn’t withstand it and shattered with a loud bang.
In this brief moment, Grelio used the Crown of Thorns and True Cross to summon down from the sky the largest-scale Super Deity Extinction ever seen in history involving the most participants.
Next came the first Deity Extinction strike on the black iron chain.
The black iron chain shattered into pieces. The terrifying power that had been rampaging moments ago now had no strength to fight back.
The Church members were instantly invigorated and cheered loudly while Grelio’s expression remained solemn.
Three seconds later, a second Deity Extinction strike descended at an incredible speed. Its power was twice as strong as the first one, fiercely targeting Trystan.
