Chapter 127: The Power of Faith Turns into Chains
At the same time, in the Elf Kingdom.
The Elf King sensed the soul signal from the west.
He opened his eyes, confused, but elves never broke their word.
He took a deep breath, then spoke, his voice amplified by magic, spreading to every corner of the Elf Kingdom.
"My people, pray to the Life Goddess!"
All elves throughout the kingdom immediately stopped what they were doing.
The Elf King had already prepared them for this moment. Though confused by the timing, they began praying to the Life Goddess with deep devotion.
Even those elves who did not believe in the Goddess remained silent. The elves performed their highest ritual, generating massive amounts of faith power.
Streams of pure light, invisible to most, rose from every kneeling elf.
That was not any light but the purest light of faith. The light converged into a torrent in the air, then flew towards the sky.
But just as this torrent of faith from the entire elven race was about to cross dimensions and reach the imprisoned deity.
Buzz!
Buzz!
Buzz...!
Thirty-seven hidden magic nodes lit up simultaneously!
They formed a massive, complex magic array that instantly covered the entire Elf Kingdom!
Just as Kurtz had planned, this array didn't block the faith power; it redirected it.
Like a dam controlling a river's flow, the array's interference forcibly twisted the vast, pure faith power!
Instead of following the usual faith channels, which wasted most of the power, an invisible force twisted its direction, compressing and converging it.
Finally, it formed a golden torrent of pure faith spanning the void.
This golden stream ignored distance, tearing through reality itself. Guided by Kurtz's contract with the blade, it surged toward Godfall Land.
After the faith ritual ended, the Elf King looked towards the distant west. As a powerful being, he naturally saw this torrent of faith and witnessed its disappearance into the sky.
His heart was filled with shock.
Could Kurtz actually be stealing a deity's power?
But he made no move, only looked solemnly towards Godfall Land, muttering softly, "Kurtz, I wish you all the best!"
At this moment, in Godfall Land.
After Kurtz asked a few more harmless questions, the Fertility Goddess finally snapped.
Her divine power erupted completely. First, she had to transform this space entirely.
She needed to make this place compatible with her divine power; otherwise, even if she forced her way down, this world would reject her.
Kurtz also noticed her actions, so he immediately took action simultaneously.
BOOM—!!!
The entire core of Godfall Land, no, all of Godfall Land and the world beyond, seemed to be struck by an invisible sledgehammer!
Violent spatial tremors knocked everyone off balance.
At that moment, a brilliant golden pillar of light appeared from what seemed like the edge of the universe.
It tore through Godfall Land's black barrier like the light of creation splitting heaven and earth, descending on the battlefield with unstoppable force!
This golden pillar was the massive, pure faith power Kurtz had stolen from the Elf Kingdom.
But it wasn't targeting the Fertility Goddess's body here; it was aimed directly beyond this world!
At the Goddess's true form, hidden beyond reality in the depths of a spatial rift.
"This? This is impossible!"
The Fertility Goddess felt the immense power of this faith and shrieked with a voice like never before.
She could feel it!
That vast faith power was so immense that even her true body had to protect it, so pure it made the corrupted divine power within her riot and writhe.
"Such dense faith power! How did you do it?"
The Fertility Goddess couldn't understand how this ant, no, this God-Slayer, could summon such overwhelming faith power.
Something like this required thousands of years to accumulate.
"You seem to have overlooked something all along." Kurtz raised the blade, which was also glowing at this moment. "Do you really think this sword's power is just a barrier?"
"You're actually using my weapon against me?"
The Fertility Goddess instantly recognised the blade in Kurtz's hand, the holy sword she'd once given to the elven race, blessed by her own power.
Her core conflict with the Life Goddess had always been about faith.
The elven race's faith wasn't enough for both of them, so the Life Goddess decided to use her life authority to create a race that would worship her exclusively.
Her creation was successful; the Skywing Clan appeared.
But the Life Goddess overlooked something crucial: they'd originally shared life authority equally.
By creating the Skywing Clan without warning, the Life Goddess had severely diminished the Fertility Goddess's portion of power.
That's where their split began.
"But this sword shouldn't have this power! What exactly did you do?"
The elven faith should have been her power source, but now it had become a blade turned against her.
Since the Fertility Goddess had made a pact with the demon race, the old faith power was poison to her now. Besides, she didn't need it anymore.
Demon faith was far stronger than elven faith. The Fertility Goddess had used that power to erode the Life Goddess's will and take complete control.
But the power came with a price.
Her divine energy was now tainted with demonic darkness. The Fertility Goddess knew that someday, she'd fall completely to the dark side.
But she'd had no choice.
To face the Life Goddess and reclaim what was rightfully hers, this was the only path.
Kurtz didn't answer her question. He simply looked up at the golden torrent of faith tearing through the darkness, piercing the entire sky.
Then he smiled. The barrier magic wasn't just protection; it could gather power from within its bounds.
If the elven race's legendary holy sword could only cast some "ultimate barrier spell," it would hardly deserve its reputation.
For thousands of years, the blade had been storing faith power from the Elf Forest, waiting for someone worthy to unlock it.
And Kurtz would be the first.
