Coruna's family rushed to the Destiny Church in South Yarra before the magic shield was broken. She found that the place was already overcrowded. Nearly three people had been squeezed into the nine-story building with a total area of less than 49,000 square meters.
There are tens of thousands of people. Even the underground is packed to the brim, making people worried whether this old building will collapse.
Because it is a newly rising god within this year, the Church of Destiny cannot obtain land to build a church in a prosperous city like Melbourne, so it can only buy this old building with a history of 140 years.
"It's really crowded."
Corunna’s husband Smith Holder had arrived early. The man beside mother and daughter was wiping sweat and complaining: “I guess many people in the city council are regretting it now. Destiny Church wanted to do this three months ago.”
They took down the Lott Building next to it and used it as the main church. But they vetoed the deal on the grounds that it might affect traffic. The space over there is much wider."
Corunna also discovered that many of the city's upper-class people are indeed concentrated here, including many parliamentarians, as well as some high-level officials from the state government, city government and courts. Several big families in Melbourne also have many people concentrated here.
A look of surprise appeared on her face: "Is that master of fate really so reliable, my dear? But he has been a god for less than a year."
"Now everyone in this city is talking with their feet."
Smith spread his hands: "This god was indeed a god more than half a year ago, but his power is indeed very powerful. I think those rumors may be true, whether it is the Lord of Glory or other gods,
In the past six months, I have never dared to provoke Him and His church. I even heard that Congress and the President have already intended to seek help from this god. Now perhaps only Him and the Goddess of Liberty can stabilize the situation in Australia."
Corunna was in disbelief at first, and then full of dissatisfaction: "You are committing a crime against the people of this country, and we have the right to know all this!"
She thought that these politicians and the media should all have sores on their feet. Originally, Destiny Church could protect more believers and let more citizens know about it.
At this time, two female clergymen had already walked up to their family. The faces of the two nuns of destiny were not good-looking, but they still politely introduced them into the church and asked about their identities.
It wasn't until they asked Rebecca and knew that this girl was a senior believer in the Lord of Destiny that a smile appeared on their faces, and they were even taken to the third floor, which was slightly less crowded, and to the window seat of the prayer room.
.
"You came too late, and there is only space here. As you can see, the entire church is now very crowded. The city government has just temporarily approved the sale of the Lot building to us, but the renovation of the church and the icon
The placement of the emblem will take time."
They carefully confessed: "Our Lord is merciful and will not refuse any intelligent creature to seek help from Him, even if these creatures are not His believers. But this help is not priceless. Our church provides one hour per person per person."
One hundred gold shields, please pay after the crisis in the city is over. Believers can do it for free, and believers’ families can
30% off. Please do not move around during the evacuation period. Please stay where you are and do not let our templars misunderstand. There have been several incidents where demons disguised themselves as civilians and sneaked into the church, causing deaths and injuries. If you have to deal with it,
For various health issues, you can inform the nearby nuns in advance and we will make arrangements."
Corunna's face moved slightly, and she felt extremely painful. She already had the desire to convert to the master of fate.
Seventy gold shields per person per hour, which is a considerable burden for a family like theirs.
Then one of the older nuns looked at Rebecca again: "As a senior believer in the Lord, you can enter the underground shelter, which is stronger and much safer than here."
But Rebecca still wanted to be with her family and rejected the nun's kindness. However, Mr. Smith Holder was very interested.
"Our whole family can convert to the Lord of Destiny. Can we go to the underground shelter?"
"That will have to wait until this state of emergency is over. Currently, our church has stopped registering believers."
The older female nun answered politely, although everyone could see the impatience and boredom in her eyes. Rebecca could understand that anyone would be disgusted with their situation and usually disdain her master.
He glanced at him, but he shamelessly came to take refuge after the disaster happened.
After the two nuns left, Rebecca sat on the ground, clasped her hands in even numbers and began to pray.
In this 100-square-meter prayer room, many people are already doing this.
The Lord of Destiny is also the Lord of Equality. He does not impose any requirements on prayer rituals. Believers can do whatever they want, as long as they can be devout in their faith.
While Rebecca was reciting various hymns, her sister Mellie couldn't help but look over with curious eyes.
"Sister, if you believe in destiny, can you really become more beautiful and younger?"
At this time, even their mother Corunna pricked up her ears.
"The Venus you believe in, does she make you beautiful?"
Rebecca asked back: "Do we believe in gods just to get rewards from them? Then I feel really sorry for the gods you believe in. I believe in the Lord of destiny because I like his teachings. I believe in following his holy will.
Love the Lord, love others, be a good person, and become a mature person. This will make you feel happy and happy, and it can also make the people around you happy.”
But then she changed her tone: "I heard from a friend that if you pray at the Atlanta Main Church of Destiny Church and several other central churches recognized by the church, people can become younger and more energetic."
Corunna couldn't help but think thoughtfully: "I seem to have heard of this. It seems that it was widely reported in America."
"So you have to agree to my going to work. Before I go to college, I will definitely collect the money and make a pilgrimage to Atlanta."
Rebecca's eyes were extremely pious, and her whole person seemed to be radiating light: "However, the church recommends believers to learn the aerobics and beauty exercises prescribed by our Lord. Through scientific exercise methods, people can also become younger.
She is more beautiful, has a better figure, and can greatly strengthen her physique. The master of fate in the mortal era is not only unrivaled in fighting, but is also an expert in this field."
Mr. Smith Holder raised his thick eyebrows slightly, somewhat puzzled: "Younger and more beautiful, shouldn't this be a gift from God?"
"No! One of the key teachings of our Lord is that man can conquer heaven. He does not think that he is fundamentally different from mortals. If people have talents and appropriate training methods, they can enter the realm of gods."
Corunna responded with a smile: "Although He is the master of fate, he denies the guidance of fate. He believes that anyone's future is uncertain and can be changed. There is no existence that can determine the life of an intelligent being.
Only a person's strength, knowledge, wisdom and character, as well as a bit of luck, can determine a person's future, and the latter is the area under my control. So as long as you work hard enough and are willing to obey the Lord
With his teachings, you can control your own destiny.”
"Hmm~ It's interesting!"
Smith Holder rubbed his chin with his hand: "I think it is necessary for me to take a closer look at this man's teachings."
Meili snorted coldly: "But he is also a god of war. Those who admire war are not good people, just like that Ares."
"Then you are wrong. Our Lord is different from other gods of war."
Coruna raised her lips proudly again: "Our Lord does not like 'unjust wars'. He opposes unjust aggression, protects self-defense wars, and pioneering wars that are beneficial to mankind as a whole. He also advocates
War has nothing to do with ordinary people, and any actions in war that unnecessarily harm innocent people will be met with his hostility and even severe punishment."
The corners of Smith Holder's lips twitched slightly, thinking, is this 'unjust aggression' fundamentally different from 'invasion'? Don't all initiators of wars since ancient times have to find a high-sounding excuse beforehand?
"I think it is not a bad thing to believe in a god who is responsible for war in this era."
Coruna sighed: "The war gods in this world are very powerful, aren't they? In any era, they have the power to protect their believers."
At this moment, they only heard a "boom" in the sky. The family couldn't help but look sideways out of the window, and then they saw a huge thunder bombarding the top of the nine-story building.
The defensive array inside the church was also activated immediately, forming a magic shield supported a hundred meters above the top floor. It failed to block the thunder, but the room where Holder and his family were located
In the prayer room, the 'Holy Emblem' of the Master of Destiny located in the center was emitting a gentle radiance that was full of divine power.
At the same time, a thick white-gold sacred shield was formed above them, successfully blocking the thunder. The same was true for the dozens of thunders as thick as giant pythons that followed. They were all forced to
Spread out above the church, and then bombarded the nine-story building a hundred meters away. Looking from the inside to the outside, they felt like they were in a huge thunder net.
Coruna, who looked nervous, breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at her husband with suspicion: "Who is this? It seems to be a very powerful god, could it be that person?"
"I don't know, but it's unlikely to be the King of Gods or Thor, the God of Thunder. I guess it's an angel in charge of thunder. In the world of gods, it's impossible to guess."
Smith shook his head: "Don't worry, there has been no record of the Destiny Church being breached in the past six months. You have also seen that the power of protection possessed by this god is very powerful."
But then his expression couldn't help but change from gloomy to bright, and worry was always permeated in his eyes.
Just because after that, all kinds of forces bombarded the top of the church from all directions. Flames, thunder, wind blades, meteorites, and even source slashes passing by here kept making explosion sounds outside the church.
.Some surrounding buildings have begun to collapse in large areas.
Then in just three minutes, a woman's scream came from nearby. The family sitting by the window couldn't help but their expressions changed drastically. From here, they could see a church about two kilometers away that was shattered and collapsed. That was the wisdom of the people.
The church of Athena, God, Lord of Knowledge, Protector of Civilization, Goddess of Art, and Goddess of Victory.
Since most of the buildings between the two churches had been razed, they could just see this shocking scene.
Karenna was lucky and not only had lingering fears, she thought to herself that she was lucky to have followed her husband's instructions, otherwise, their whole family would probably be dead now.
"Their underground shelter should still be safe."
Mr. Smith Holder said with a pale face: "After all, she is Athena, one of the most powerful gods in the world."
However, before he could finish his words, another cloud of smoke and dust rose up from the east.
While Smith Holder was identifying it, he heard someone nearby exclaim: "It's the East End Cathedral of the Church of Light!"
"Shit! Can't you even defend that side?"
"These gods and angels are crazy. Do they want us all to die?"
"Damn it! I should have hid in the country half a month ago."
"The countryside? That will only make you die faster. Outside all the big cities in this country, it has now become a paradise for demons, devils, undead, and those dark creatures and supernatural creatures. In the past, there were governments and major churches.
People went to clean up, but now, the country is in complete chaos. Before, many people were running to the cities."
"So, this country is finished, everyone, I guess no one can save us!"
Smith Holder couldn't help but feel worried, and then he saw with his own eyes that the mysterious shield above the church was forcibly smashed into a gap by three meteorites falling from the sky. After the meteorites hit the ground, their bodies began to expand and transformed into huge lava.
The giant's tyrannical pressure and the high temperature of moxibustion covered every inch of space here.
And just when the Holder family was trembling and shivering, three blue blade lights flashed in front of the church, and then the bodies of the three lava giants were cut in half from the middle.
