Chapter 545: Shalltear's Attack

Chapter 545: Shalltear's Attack
In the United Empire, major issues still need to be discussed by voting. As the emperor, the Blood Emperor has the power of three votes. Simply put, as long as the other three do not completely deny his decision, he can implement the policy.

Lu Li initially thought about letting Lana govern the United Kingdom, but considering the instability of this woman, he gave up.

The Blood Emperor is pretty good. He has courage and talent. With him as the leader and Lana as the assistant, it is enough to unite and develop the human race.

Integrating all countries together to advance and retreat together is only the first step. After several major human countries merge, Lu Li also plans to use the Collapse Jade to begin transforming some humans and give them the power to resist monsters.

In the United Nations, the originally strongest theocracy will certainly not become a vassal state directly. If it does so, even if the theocracy is willing to fight to the death, it will still complain. In addition, their national system is very different from that of ordinary countries, so internal conflicts are bound to break out.

Since the Church has no king and is a theocracy, Lu Li does not have the idea that it is unrealistic to change the customs and ideas of a country in a short period of time.

But in order to maintain the system and status of the Theocracy in the United Empire, a new benchmark is needed. At Chu Chu's suggestion, Lu Li became that new benchmark.

Simply put, he will become the new god of the faith of the Church.

The six great gods are dead, and the Church needs stronger faith in living gods. Lu Li is just the right person to be placed in this position.

Lu Li has already thought of a name, it’s called God of War.

In this way, the Blood Emperor is ostensibly responsible for governing the country and managing internal affairs of the United Empire, but in fact he is also an emperor with "divine right of kings", and the Theocracy can maintain its transcendent status for a short period of time.

These settings actually have pitfalls, after all, Lu Li will not stay in this world forever.

With the Blood Emperor's skills, as long as he can gain a foothold during the time Lu Li stays, theocracy may be gradually weakened after he leaves. By then, after a few generations, humans may really become a unified empire.

What Lu Li did these two days may sound simple, but it is actually quite complicated. As for why he went to so much trouble to do something he is not good at, there is only one answer, and that is to increase his justice points.

The basic requirement of 5000 points is not low. When Bone King invades, gaining reputation is just a one-time deal. If he wants to gain justice points without sacrificing the people and acting out his own ideas, he has to do something practical. It would be best if people can focus their attention on him and give him an image of natural justice.

There is no identity more naturally righteous than the one God believed in by the United Empire of Humanity.

With this identity, the Blood Emperor and others under his management would always say that this was a divine oracle when implementing policies that benefited mankind, and then Lu Li's justice points would be increased.

After Chu Chu's analysis, Lu Li immediately perked up and ran to discuss with the Blood Emperor.

"Mr. Lu thinks so highly of me, I am really humbled."

The Blood Emperor said, "But since Mr. Lu has high hopes for me, I will definitely perform well."

He still doesn't understand Lu Li's purpose, but so far, everything Lu Li has done is beneficial to mankind.

If the other party wanted to nominate him to be the emperor of the United Empire and he did not accept the offer, it would seem he was being too ungrateful.

"Well, envoys from various countries will be coming in the next few days, so you should prepare first."

Lu Li said, and looked at the battle in the arena below, "Also, don't do this kind of boring show anymore. If you like fighting, tell people to kill monsters."

The Blood Emperor's forehead was covered with sweat when he heard the second half of Lu Li's words. "Yes, we will shut down the Imperial Arena today."

In fact, the Colosseum is a tradition of the Bahas Empire. In history, there have been emperors who thought it was a barbaric act, but more emperors liked this game of sitting on a high platform and watching people fight. The Blood Emperor neither liked it nor hated it.

But he sensed displeasure from Lu Li's tone, so he naturally had to stop this project as soon as possible.

"Well, then..."

Lu Li was about to explain something when he suddenly received a message from Chu Chu. He frowned at first, but then a smile appeared on his face.

He bit the last apple, including the core, and swallowed it. He patted the Blood Emperor on the shoulder and said, "Do your best. Don't think too much. I really just came out to help mankind through the crisis."

As he spoke, he activated his teleportation skill, and disappeared from the spot with a bang, leaving behind the sweaty Blood Emperor.

…………

The Silan Theocracy, the Holy City.

Because of the existence of extraordinary power, the previously destroyed cathedral has been rebuilt and the people in the holy city have resumed their daily lives.

Regarding the battle a few days ago, the official Church gave a new explanation, saying that it was the arrival of the God of War, who was dissatisfied with some corruption within the Church and started the battle to punish it.

At first, believers were confused about who the God of War was, but soon someone found records about the God of War in ancient books.

It can only be said that the people in this world who are best at making up stories and talking nonsense are charlatans. The bishops of the Theocracy changed their tune overnight and "found" a large number of documents proving the existence of the God of War, indicating that the God of War is actually the supreme god above the six gods and the only supreme belief of the Theocracy.

The reason why it was not regarded as a mainstream belief in the past was mainly because the existence of the God of War had not been confirmed and it had only been seen in literature.

Now that the God of War has come to the world, his existence has certainly been confirmed. All we need to do is believe in him.

What? You used to believe in death?
I'm sorry, the God of Death was beaten to death by the Eight Desire Kings before. He is really weak. Do you really feel safe when you believe in him?

If powerful monsters invade again, can the god of death you believe in save you?
In order to promote the new faith and curry favor with Lu Li, the real hidden boss of the Church, the "water army" of the Church have lost all their dignity and can even trample the gods they used to believe in.

But this is actually normal, because none of the high-ranking officials of the Church believe in God. After all, they know that the six gods are actually "players" from another world. To put it bluntly, they are not some high and mighty gods that cannot be understood, but just more powerful "people".

Except for the alien god of death, the lifespan of other gods was not long, and they all died of old age in the long river of history.

It is really difficult to make the high-ranking officials of the church who know the true side of the six gods have a heart of faith. They promote doctrines and encourage people to believe in religion, mainly to make the people ignorant because of their faith and facilitate their rule.

Now that the decisive weapons of the Church have become the lickers of the God of War, the bishops have simply thrown away their moral integrity and all lined up to say that the God of War is the Supreme God and everyone should just believe in him.

With this crazy and vigorous propaganda, within two days, the people in the church all knew that there was a new god in their belief sequence, and it was a more powerful god.

In addition, the church has continuously announced new policies that benefit the people in recent days. Many dioceses have been distributing benefits to the people like a boy distributing money, spitting out the money they had accumulated through corruption in the past, which made the people accept this "new god of war" at once.

After all, the common people had no idea that the God of War had come to punish corruption in the capital, but when the benefits fell into their hands, everyone would applaud and praise the God of War. As for the scary battle that broke out in the Holy City before, the common people had completely forgotten about it.

Some people who saw Lu Li for the first time that day initially described him as "an indescribable demon with a terrifying aura."

Now they have all changed their words. They said they never said that. The correct description should be "a noble existence that exudes a majestic aura and makes mortals dare not look directly at it."

Look, although it is almost the same intuitive feeling, but if you put it in a different way, Lu Li is immediately cleared.

Lu Li was also shocked when he learned about this. On the one hand, he thought Chu Chu did a good job, and on the other hand, he felt that it was really necessary for people to receive education.

Fortunately, he was only here to fight in the world battle, so it was a good thing that he could quickly gain points.

Swah——

Lu Li's figure suddenly appeared in the holy area of ​​the holy city. Juesijueming and Chuchu were right next to him, and they had obviously been waiting for a long time.

"What's going on? How many people are here?"

Lu Li had just learned from the communication that the Great Tomb of Nazarick was attacking the Theocracy, so he didn't bother to talk to the Blood Emperor and came here directly.

“Young Master, the Great Tomb of Nazarick is taking my recovery operation very seriously this time. We have observed that three guardians have been dispatched and Ainz has also entered the country. I am afraid they are ready to go to war with the Theocracy.”

It was Sebastian who answered Lu Li's question, "Among the Guardians, Shalltear is the vanguard, Albedo is the escort, and Aura is the support. Ainz will definitely bring world-class items to this kind of battle, so please be careful when dealing with it."

Lu Li was very satisfied with the butler Sebastian. He spoke clearly and logically, which made him understand the current situation immediately.

Bone King’s army is quite large. In addition to leaving three guardians to guard the house, he has also brought out the highest combat power of Nazarick.

Moreover, no one knows how many krypton gold props he has in his hand. It is not an exaggeration to say that the force he mobilized this time can sweep all the countries in the world. Even the Council Country where the True Dragon King is located cannot resist the continuous attack of world-class props.

If he were not in charge of the Theocracy, Ainz Ooal Gown's action would obviously be another of his classic tactic of using a sledgehammer to kill a fly, but his caution this time makes sense.

"They are currently unaware of Miss Chuchu's arrangements and are advancing towards the Holy City. I'm afraid it's because I've appeared in the Holy City many times before that they have directly targeted this place."

Seeing Lu Li pondering, Sebastian continued to report, "Their goal is to recapture me, so fighting me is their first goal. May I ask, young master, do I need to fight?"

Lu Li thought it was a bit strange that Sebastian talked about taking it back, and he was also curious about his mentality. "Do you feel uneasy when you fight with your former companions?"

Sebastian shook his head. "Except for Cocytus, I have some sense of identity with him. I don't have much affection for the others. Now I am following the young master. If the young master gives the order, I will naturally do my best to kill the enemy."

Lu Li could understand why Sebastian had a good impression of Cocytus, because Cocytus was also a rare NPC in the Great Tomb of Nazarick who was in the realm of justice, with a justice value set at 50 points.

"Well... don't show up yet. Wait until they arrive and follow my instructions."

Lu Li thought for a while and said, given Bone King's strong obsession with the guardian, since he has sent out a large army, it is impossible for him to return empty-handed.

If Sebastian doesn't show up, he can drag out the battle longer, which will help him gain more fear points.

"Mr. Lu, what do I need to do? I heard that they are some powerful monsters, which makes me feel a little itchy~"

Juesijieming moved closer to Lu Li, almost sticking to him. His voice was gentle but the expression on his face was a little distorted. It was obvious that he was eager for the upcoming battle.

Lu Li took advantage of his height and lifted Juesijieming's collar to straighten him. "You can fight me if you want, but you might die."

"How is that possible? I was easily defeated only by you, but I should still be considered a strong man, right?"

Juesijieming said with a smile, using his supernatural power to switch out the equipment of the six gods, "Why not let me be the vanguard, so that I can help you test the strength of the monsters."

The Dark Scripture troops on standby in the sanctuary watched this scene with strange expressions.

They never imagined that the world would change so much in less than a week.

Not only was the strongest Juesi Jueming, whom they once thought, easily defeated by a human-like guy, but that ferocious man also became the war god they believed in. This world was truly too magical.

"Okay, then go ahead."

Lu Li said with a smile.

"Hey, stop chatting. People are here. I'm going to activate the Feng Shui formation."

Chu Chu shouted from the side, and as she spoke, she activated the Feng Shui compass in her hand.

What made Lu Li feel strange was that he did not see any strange phenomena in the sky and earth, nor did he see any light shield-like things. "Chu Chu, you are not playing too hard, are you?"

He was both confused and worried. If the Feng Shui formation failed, he would have to kill Bone King and his group instantly, otherwise they would definitely start a massacre in the Holy City.

"You are ignorant. This is not a magic circle. I have already set it up. You will know how this formation works in a moment."

Chu Chu rolled her eyes and said, "Within the current Feng Shui coverage area, no one will be injured in the formation except you, Juesijieming, and the invading alien species."

Lu Li wanted to listen to Chu Chu's explanation of the principle again, but he had already heard a loud bang outside the Holy City.

Amid the roar, smoke and dust rose up, accompanied by the people's terrified shouts, the battle had already begun.

Lu Li took a flash step and instantly left the sanctuary and came to a high altitude, observing the scene in the distance with the Sharingan.

In the smoke and dust, a pink-haired lolita wearing a scarlet Gothic skirt walked out with elegant steps. The gust of wind she created with a wave of her hand easily destroyed the buildings on both sides of the street.

She seemed a little bored with the destruction. She raised her hand to her mouth and yawned gracefully. "Isn't this the strongest country? How come there is not even a strong person in sight?"
