Sui Xiong returned from victory with his head held high and his chest high and proud.
Lei, who witnessed all this from the side of the crack created by the God of Justice, couldn't help but admired from the bottom of his heart: "Your Majesty, you are truly a powerful warrior! So powerful!"
The God of Justice also smiled and nodded: "Yes, this scene was beautifully performed!"
"Acting?" Lei was stunned, "What kind of acting are you doing?"
"Haha, in fact, he is not in a good condition at all. He just put up a show to scare people, gathered all the strength of his body, and just sent out that palm." The God of Justice laughed, "That demigod was purely fooled by him. He stopped, so he stupidly stood there and received a slap from him, but in the end he was not beaten to death..."
"I really didn't intend to kill him." Sui Xiong explained, "First of all, I have to be trustworthy when I come out to fool around. If I say I won't kill him, I won't kill him. Second, I don't kill him because I want to leave him for Satan." Take revenge with your own hands!”
Having said this, he couldn't help but laugh evilly: "But, my slap, hey, it's not that easy!"
The God of Justice suddenly realized: "No wonder you have to put in so much effort to transform the power into the power of life and force it into its body. To put it bluntly, you want the two forces of life and death in its body to conflict with each other, causing it to be seriously injured and difficult to recover, so that it can The believer of yours who was killed by it will be able to surpass it in strength as soon as possible after he is resurrected, right?"
"That's right, I already said I'd beat it to 'half-death'. It's already an undead spirit, so to beat it to 'half-dead' is of course to make it half-alive." Sui Xiong laughed and was about to brag again. After a few words, he suddenly looked aside and looked towards the square in surprise.
The God of Justice reacted faster than him. With a wave of his hand, light and shadow flickered, and he and Lei teleported dozens of miles to the wilderness where the refugees gathered. Also teleporting over were many people staying in Gars City. Among them was Mrs. Teague, who went to find out the news. She was dressed in an adventurer's outfit and accompanied by a beautiful girl with dull eyes and a blank expression.
Before everyone could understand what was going on, a shrill roar came from the city of Gars.
"Just wait and see!"
With this roar, the square was completely suppressed by the Swamp God. The incarnation of the Harvest Goddess, who was about to be swallowed, suddenly emitted a dazzling green light and then exploded.
A huge mushroom cloud slowly rose, and the strong wind swept countless debris and roared towards it, but it was blocked by the God of Justice with a wave of his hand.
When the strong wind subsided, the mushroom cloud slowly dispersed, and the sight that appeared in front of everyone stunned them.
Where is the city of Gars in the distance! Only a piece of ruins was left that was blown into pieces.
The most prosperous port city on the east coast of the mainland, hundreds of years of hard work of several organizations headed by the Riley family were wiped out in this sudden explosion.
Everyone stayed there for a long time, not knowing who cried first, but soon the cries became one.
No one expected that this chaos would end like this.
"Alas! It's spring famine right before our eyes. How are such a large group of people supposed to live?" The God of Justice sighed, full of pity, but unable to do anything.
When it comes to fighting, he is the absolute strongest among the gods. But to help this group of refugees settle down, rebuild their homes, and survive the difficult years, there is really nothing he can do.
"There will always be a way!" Sui Xiong said in a deep voice, "Lei, tell me what to do."
"Ah? Me?" Lei was stunned, not knowing how this matter could be related to him.
"That's right! Don't tell me that all your knowledge of governing the country since elementary school has been fed to dogs. Although I don't want to ask you about your origins, but at this time, if you don't stand up, who else can stand up and clean up the mess!"
Lei frowned, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "You are right, at this time, I can't just leave!"
He looked around, his eyes gradually showing a sharp and confident light: "The most important thing now is to re-establish order. I plan to reorganize this group of refugees with adventurers and noble descendants as the core. Organize everyone to go to the ruins of Gars City Let’s see if we can pack some clothes and food. We also need to sort out our belongings because we need to find merchants to buy supplies.”
"In addition, we need to contact the churches of the gods as soon as possible—the church of the Golden Crown (the god of commerce and wealth) has money and business routes. If we cooperate with them, we should be able to transfer part of our ruling rights in exchange for their strong support."
"Marine transportation needs to be restored as soon as possible. Fortunately, the foundation of the port is still there. I personally went into the water to clean the rocks. I should be able to restore the port's basic operations. Even if it is just a transit supply business, it can feed a lot of people."
"Yes! There is a legendary strongman sitting in charge, both labor and force are of great help." Sui Xiong nodded and said, "Actually, I think the power of the legendary strongman should be used in construction, and he can only think about fighting all day long. What’s the point of fighting?”
The God of Justice listened thoughtfully, but Lei was stunned.
"Legendary strong man? Are you talking about me?"
"Who else could it be if you weren't you? Does it look like there is a second legendary strongman here?" Sui Xiong said with a smile, "I discovered it when I was helping you treat you just now. We have entered the legendary realm that we have talked about countless times!”
Lei wondered for a moment, then closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and realized his current state.
He immediately discovered that he had undergone fundamental changes compared to before. This is not just a matter of "strength", but also a leap in the entire level of life.
Apart from anything else, the sequelae caused by the poisoning and injury have disappeared now. Problems such as "relatively weak physical strength" and "insufficient defense" that have been plaguing him have been solved. And perhaps because he broke through the limit in the fierce battle, he realized the two legendary abilities of "strengthened attack" and "damage reduction" as soon as he broke through.
Now, if he were to face that group of sea tribes again, he would be able to withstand the magic missiles. Just be careful not to get hit in the eyes or anything like that, and don't even think about hurting a single hair on yourself!
He clenched his fists in excitement and roared loudly. The roar turned into a long gust of wind, making the withered grass around him tremble after winter, as if they were afraid of his power.
"Finally... finally... I finally took this step!"
He shouted loudly, roaring and laughing at the same time, laughing and smiling, and tears could not help but flow from the corners of his eyes.
"After so many years... after so many years... I finally succeeded!"
No one could understand the pain in his heart: Fifteen years ago, he was only one step away from the legendary realm. However, after that accident, although he escaped by chance, he suffered heavy losses in strength. He spent countless time and sweat, and But it's just back to where it was before.
After recovering his strength, he always wanted to break through the limits and build on his past achievements. But the shadows of the past have been surrounding him, preventing him from taking this step. Even though his accumulation is incredibly deep and he should have broken through long ago, he still seems to be locked up and unable to make progress.
It wasn't until that battle not long ago that he risked his own life to fight and finally made him completely forget about the shadow of the past. So things fell into place and the breakthrough was achieved naturally.
If he hadn't been seriously injured and couldn't save his life even if he broke through to the limit, he could have completely killed those sea tribesmen with the strength of a legendary strongman!
And if he hadn't broken through the limit and surpassed the mortals, how could a knight with only a mediocre magic ability and a guest appearance as a bard send his thoughts across the sky to say goodbye to Steele and Sui Xiong
It's just that he didn't realize it...
Seeing that the dust had finally settled here, the God of Justice said goodbye and left. Sui Xiong stayed and secretly helped Lei manage the overall situation.
With this legendary strongman in charge, the work of rectifying the refugees and re-establishing order went smoothly. After Lei showed his strength to cut through the clouds in the sky with a sword, even the most unruly and selfish adventurers I chose to be obedient and not dare to have the slightest intention of causing trouble.
Resist? make trouble? Give me a break! Didn't you see the cold eyes of this knight? People are just waiting for some fool without eyes to jump out and show off his power!
Everyone comes out to make money, not for leisure. Just do the work, it doesn't matter if you endure hardships and hardships, it's better than being hacked to death!
At this time, Mrs. Teague brought an unexpected surprise.
That beautiful girl who seemed to be frightened into dementia turned out to be the youngest daughter of Lord Joseph, Cassali Riley, the legitimate heir to the Riley family.
With Sui Xiong's help, Kasali quickly regained consciousness. When the little girl understood what happened, she simply rolled her eyes and fainted. After waking up, she simply entrusted everything to Lei, who was handsome, powerful and good at doing things, just like Prince Charming.
Oh... He is really a prince, although he is not riding a white horse, but a flying dragon.
With Kasali as a signboard, Lei can do things more legitimately. Especially after he wielded his long sword and chopped several liars who claimed to be the illegitimate sons of Lord Joseph into shapes that would need to be mosaicd in a children's movie, no one jumped out to try to take advantage.
It's true that Kasali is a vase who doesn't know much about the world, but the dragon knight who was granted full power by her is very powerful!
In order to help Lei, Sui Xiong's body has been staying in Gals City. But he still sent a clone to fly back to the Ash Forest, telling the believers that he was in good condition, and asked them to build an altar to prepare for the future resurrection of Satan and the others.
"Resurrection?" The believers who received the news were surprised. They never dreamed that their humble majesty could have such power. They were overjoyed and were busy building the altar.
The altar used for resurrection is very troublesome, the specifications, material location... and even the surrounding terrain must be carefully trimmed. With limited manpower, they worked for more than half a year, and it was not completely completed until the autumn harvest of that year.
In front of the simple and solemn altar, headed by the high priest Leon Igor who rushed back through the teleportation array overnight, the first prayer of the official establishment of the Church of the Mask of the Void finally began...
