Chapter 409: 231 Seven-turn Trials
Under the Alliance’s heavy pressure, those powerful churches that were deeply hidden could still keep their cool, but those with weaker power and less hidden could not stand it.
Faced with the current situation, they have only two choices.
Either accept the Alliance’s incorporation, or be swept into the trash heap.
In less than half a month, 29 have officially signed to become legal churches.
More than 17 have been obliterated by the Alliance, achieving significant results.
Of course, the process was perilous.
Even though these churches weren’t powerful, they had gods backing them up after all, and each church could invoke its respective god when being destroyed.
Some remained indifferent, but some might strike back.
Not much is needed, just one strike back, and it would be quite unpleasant.
The Alliance also suffered considerable losses in the past half a month.
On the bright side, with the actions of the Alliance, people gradually believed that they were set to eradicate the malignant tumor of the Church, and many righteous people who believed in the Alliance voluntarily joined the Alliance.
Among them were even a few who had recently completed the Heavenly Abyss rescue mission and obtained SSS-level features.
With the addition of these people, the strength of the Alliance not only did not decrease but surged greatly.
They were more adept at dealing with the issues of the Church.
According to the current trend, the Alliance could indeed resolve the Church’s issue within half a year.
Even Dean McKenzie couldn’t help but exclaim after seeing it.
“Not bad, I originally thought I would be busy but it turned out there wasn’t anything for me to do, you guys are quite capable!”
“Inviting you over for help was also a form of insurance. We hope we don’t have to rely on you!”
Dean McKenzie states, he recognizes money and not people, “That’s your business. But I’ve made it clear beforehand, since I was asked to come over, regardless of whether I make a move or not, you all must pay me. If you dare shortchange me a Talent Stone, or a corpse, I won’t let you off!”
Gavin Grainger nodded his head and said, “Rest assured, we won’t deduct a single cent of what’s promised to you!”
He really had no intention of defaulting.
After all, the other party had killed a Seven-turn God and instantly slayed Paul Hopperton’s eight-person team.
Unless he could kill him with a slap, offending such an existence would be a huge problem for him and the Alliance.
Another, and the most important point, was Gavin Grainger always felt that this matter wouldn’t be so easily resolved.
The real difficulties would appear later.
At that time, he might have to rely on Dean McKenzie.
However, Dean McKenzie didn’t think much about it.
He just wondered when this matter would end and when he could access the Alliance’s Treasure Vault.
To persuade him, Gavin Grainger promised to provide Dean McKenzie with 3000 legendary quality corpses, and allow Dean McKenzie to enter the Alliance Treasure Vault and take away all the Talent Stones.
Dean McKenzie was definitely looking forward to it.
The only bad thing was that the other party hoped to pay after everything was resolved.
Based on the current progress, Dean McKenzie estimated that he might have to wait a few more months.
However, it would be worth the wait for the benefits he would gain a few months later. Not to mention anything else, the 3000 legendary quality corpses alone were enough for Dean McKenzie to produce 3 SSS features.
For this benefit, Dean McKenzie could only wait patiently.
…
While Dean McKenzie was patient enough to wait, the Church on the other side couldn’t stand it.
Facing the current situation, the Church would not sit still.
“The current situation is known to all of you!”
Inside an underground base, a mysterious figure dressed in a black robe looked at the thirteen illusions he spent over half a month contacting from the other thirteen top churches of the Alliance.
“The Alliance has gathered almost all its available forces to deal with us. We can see their determination and the forces they can mobilize.”
My comrades, the glory of God has reached a critical moment.
It’s also the time to test us. Whether the glory of God can continue to shine will depend on whether we can hold on during this wave.”
“Of course, it wouldn’t be difficult to just hold on. As long as we hide and keep our heads down, the Alliance wouldn’t be able to find and eliminate us one by one.”
“But if we retreat this time, the Alliance will take this opportunity to improve the environment of the Alliance.”
“At that time, the living environment for our churches will be even more difficult, and it will be hard to spread the word.”
“I believe you all won’t like it. Your Lords know that you can’t preach for Him, right?”
“If we lose the ability to preach, we will lose His favor. Can you allow such a situation to happen?”
The man in the black robe spoke with great agitation.
But the 13 illusions present remained completely unmoved.
It was a joke, even the greatest orator had to consider the occasion and the audience.
Which of the 13 present wasn’t a high-ranking member of a church?
Which one wasn’t skilled at preaching?
All of them were cunning foxes from millennia past, how could they be incited by the man in the black robe.
“We came here not to listen to your nonsense, we have to speak these lines hundreds of times a day ourselves, you can skip them straight away!”
“Get straight to the point, what’s your plan?”
“Right!”
Under the gaze of thirteen pairs of eyes, the man in the black robe stopped his provocative speech and calmly laid out his plan: “Kill Gavin Grainger!”
“Solve the problem at its source, indeed?”
“This is indeed the first option!”
“However, would Gavin Grainger be easy to kill?”
“Very difficult!”
The man in the black robe squinted his eyes and said: “He is an epic quality Seeker of Light with 180 levels. Not long ago, he participated in a rescue mission, one of his attributes increased by fifty percent, and he obtained an SSS-level feature.
