Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2650  Phenomenon

Eh?

Fang Heng felt a shift in his thoughts.

The Holy Church in front of him was somewhat different.

As the holy light radiated, the Great Sageʼs Crown he carried emanated waves of divine power. Dark golden light surged around him, and with it, the statues of gods in the Great Hall began to tremble faintly, releasing a divine radiance.

”Whoosh!”

A phantom of dark golden wings spread open behind the statue.

What was going on?

This strange phenomenon had never occurred in the Holy Church since its establishment!

Everyone turned their gaze toward Fang Heng, who was blessed by the Holy Light.

All the strange phenomena had arisen because of this young man!

”Miracle! Itʼs a miracle!”

The believers, as if witnessing a divine event, immediately began to kneel and pray.

Fang Hengʼs retina flashed with a game prompt.

[Hint: The player discovered the statue of the Great Sage (special). The player has completed the prayer of the statue of the Great Sage, triggering the advancement extra mission-Godʼs Punishment.]

Additional mission name: Godʼs Punishment.

Mission description: The Great Sage has the duty of judging evil. The player must eliminate S-level or higher demons through judgment to earn mission points, to surpass 50 million mission points.

Mission completion reward: The player may cancel one remaining unfinished task from the Great Sageʼs advancement mission.

[Hint: The player has acquired the special skill-Godʼs Punishment. The skillʼs effectiveness is related to the playerʼs basic attributes, current faith value, and sacred study ability. If the Great Sage-related mission fails, this skill will become inactive by default.]

So that was it! The statue of the God inside the church had an issue!

Fang Heng carefully reviewed the mission description again, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

It meant that an additional mission branch, Mission Branch Four, had been unlocked.

Out of the four mission options, completing three would be enough.

It seemed that, although they all involved monster hunting, Mission Four was considerably easier than Mission Three.

Moreover, he had also gained a free skill as a bonus!

As for the skill effect, Fang Heng thought, he would have to find an opportunity to test it...

Just as he was thinking this, the Holy Court believers around him had already knelt on the ground.

What the hell!

Not far away, among the crowd, Yan Yuexin, who had previously coordinated with Fang Heng, was already blending in, preparing to assist Fang Heng with his next move.

She was curious about the method Fang Heng would use to meet the Archbishop. Before coming here, she had speculated on many possible strategies, but she never expected Fang Heng to pull off something like this!

This guy...

What was his background?!

His divine power had resonated with the entire statue of God!

Was he truly an undercover from the undead faction?

Inside the Great Hall, the believers were kneeling in piety, surrounding Fang Heng.

”I must be seeing things...”

Yan Yuexin suddenly realized the awkward situation she was in. The Holy Courtʼs believers around her had all dropped to their knees in piety, and she was the only one left standing, making it seem as though she were some undercover infiltrator from the necromancy faction.

Some believers shot her disapproving glances, judging her lack of piety.

What was going on here? The Holy Court was really done for!

Frustrated, Yan Yuexin grumbled inwardly. She could only kneel alongside the others, pretending to pray. The only difference was that she knew she was kneeling to a necromancer infiltrator, not a true devotee.

The Holy Court truly had no future at this rate.

After a brief moment, several Holy Paladins cautiously squeezed through the crowd, coming up to Fang Heng and speaking quietly, ”Greetings, favored by the Holy Realm. The Archbishop requests your presence.”

Fang Heng had anticipated this. He withdrew the power of the Great Sageʼs crown, nodded indifferently, and replied, ”Very well, please lead the way.”

Under everyoneʼs gaze, Fang Heng was escorted into the back hall of the cathedral by the Holy Paladins.

In the reception hall, Trine, the regional bishop of the War Ruins World, met Fang Heng, accompanied by a group of believers.

”Archbishop, itʼs an honor to meet you. I am Fang Bai, guided here by the Holy Godʼs will.”

Under the effect of the holy weaponʼs simulated character, the bishop did not suspect anything unusual about Fang Hengʼs identity. He nodded gently and replied, ”Blessed by the Holy God, we welcome your arrival.”

Everyone, including Trine, regarded Fang Heng with curiosity.

”Could you tell us how you caused the statue of God in the Great Hall to resonate?”

Fang Heng smiled lightly. ”It can only be called luck. I have been blessed by God and accepted the trial of advancing as the Great Sage.”

Upon hearing this, the members of the Holy Court began whispering among themselves.

The advancement of the Great Sage!?

Thatʼs strange.

Wasnʼt it said that the advancement of the Great Sage was controlled by the Holy Realm? How did an outsider suddenly appear, claiming to have received the Great Sageʼs advancement mission?

However, judging by Fang Hengʼs demeanor, it didnʼt seem like he was lying.

Moreover, the statue of God in the temple had indeed resonated with him earlier.

Fang Heng paused for a moment before continuing, ”While praying earlier, I sensed a power emanating from the statue of God that seemed to be connected to the Great Sage. This statue should be linked to the Great Sage.”

Regional Bishop Trine raised his voice slightly, interrupting the quiet discussions of the Holy Court followers, and responded, ”Yes, indeed. The statue of God inside the Holy Church is different. It was established by the former Great Sage, and there are inscriptions left by the Great Sage behind the statue.”

”The Great Sage in question was named Lorn, and he was in charge of Godʼs Punishment.”

Trine roughly explained and then continued asking, ”Fang Bai, I have never seen you before, and I couldnʼt find any record of your identity in the Holy Court. Is this your first time here?”

”Yes, I specifically came to the War Ruins World to seek help,” Fang Heng replied, not wasting any words. He directly stated his request, ”I accepted the advancement mission for the Great Sage, but I encountered significant difficulties in the mission, and it does not allow me to use the strength of the Holy Realm.”

Trine and the surrounding companions exchanged looks.

Fang Hengʼs words raised some doubts.

However, the holy attribute on Fang Heng alleviated most of their concerns.

Trine decided to first listen to Fang Hengʼs purpose in seeking them out.

”We understand. What do you need us to do?”

”To complete the advancement to the Great Sage, I need to seal a powerful monster,” Fang Heng explained. ”Unfortunately, my current abilities are insufficient to seal the monster. I have heard that the Holy Court has sealed a powerful monster in this world.”

Fang Heng observed the regional bishopʼs expression and continued, ”If possible, I would like to learn the methods of sealing powerful monsters. Once I have learned this, I will personally complete the advancement mission and seal that monster. Of course, I understand that this will require a price, and I ask that I not be treated any differently because of my identity.”

Fang Heng slightly bowed to the Holy Court members, ”For this, I am willing to undergo any form of trials or missions to qualify to learn the sealing ability.”

Trine looked at Fang Heng, contemplating.

It seemed that the request was not unreasonable.

The requirements for the advancement to the Great Sage also seemed to be genuine.

The people present trusted Fang Hengʼs words more now.

Although Fang Heng repeatedly said he didnʼt want special treatment, after all, he was one of the candidates for the Great Sage, and there was a chance he would become the Great Sage in the future. It was impossible not to treat him differently.

If they could help, naturally, they would.
