Chapter 3690: Believers

"Help him, now!"

Tobias shouted and forcibly drove his mental strength, raising his hand as dozens of shadow god spikes shot toward Fang Heng at the same time.

Fang Heng turned his head toward Tobias, his face full of disdain, and merely lifted one hand lightly.

"Bang! Bang bang bang!!!"

The incoming Shadow God spikes exploded midair!

Completely ineffective?

Tobias’s pupils contracted slightly. Gritting his teeth, he turned toward Lyanna, who was standing calmly in place, and shouted, "Lyanna! What are you doing?"

Lyanna slowly turned her head. Her eyes were filled with fanatical faith as she looked at Tobias and said, "You still haven’t realized it, Tobias? Everything is over. Our Lord is the true master of this world. Submit to Our Lord."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Seeing the frenzy in Lyanna’s eyes, Tobias suddenly felt a chill run through his entire body.

Even during worship on Sea God Island, he had never once seen such fanatical faith in Lyanna’s eyes.

"Whoosh!!"

Tobias was about to say more when he suddenly felt his body stiffen.

Then, a figure appeared in front of him.

It was Fang Heng!

Tobias stared at Fang Heng, who had suddenly appeared before him, his heart jolting. In the next instant, he completely lost control of his body, which slowly floated into the air against his will.

He stared fixedly at Fang Heng, fear surfacing in his eyes.

Fang Heng looked at Tobias and said, "I heard you’ve been looking for me for days. Did you need something?"

Tobias glared at Fang Heng and gritted out, "The Sea God will punish you. Don’t get cocky. You will..."

"Boom!!"

Tobias’s entire body was instantly engulfed in blazing hellfire, and under the flames, he was gradually reduced to ashes.

Fang Heng raised a hand and collected the divine authority fragments condensed from killing Tobias.

[Hint: The player killed Sea God Island’s god servants-Felix and Tobias. The player’s aggro value with Sea God Island has reached maximum.]

[Hint: The player obtained the divine authority fragment*13.]

Lyanna lowered her head respectfully at the side.

"Your Majesty."

"Mm. Leave the rest of the cleanup to you."

After dealing with the two god servants and collecting the divine authority fragments, Fang Heng quickly arrived at the bow and reached out to press against the divine statue at the front of the ship.

[Hint: The player obtained divinity (unknown)-Demigod-tier.]

It was here!

Fang Heng’s eyes lit up.

The mission hint had said he needed to reach Sea God Island’s main island to find a demigod-tier divine statue.

In reality, that was not entirely true.

There were always special cases.

Like this time, he had not even gone to Sea God Island yet, and the other side had already delivered a demigod-tier divine statue right to his door.

Unfortunately, he still could not use it.

Still, it was not a loss. He could directly convert it into divine authority.

Fang Heng placed his hand on the divine authority.

"Buzz!"

Driven by mental strength, the divine statue immediately burst with a terrifying purplish-red light.

"Boom!!!"

A moment later, the divine authority exploded.

Along with the shattered statue fragments flying in all directions, large quantities of divine authority fragments were scattered everywhere.

Fang Heng quickly gathered the scattered divine authority fragments and stored them in his backpack, nodding in satisfaction.

Not bad.

A total of 327 pieces.

The harvest from demigod-tier divine authority was abundant.

Once he searched the ship thoroughly, he would probably find a few more divine statues.

He would absorb them all in one go.

...

The Empire Harbor.

As the flames of war gradually subsided and the ships of Sea God Island sank one after another, the soldiers watching from the harbor fell into silence.

Had they actually won?

No one had expected the battle to end so quickly.

Sea God Island had resisted for a few moments, but it had been useless; they were almost instantly annihilated.

Was the world about to change?

Duke Windy could not calm himself.

Sea God Island had caused the Oz Empire such heavy losses over the past two days, yet now they had been wiped out?

Had he known this would happen, should he have sent Fang Heng to fight Sea God Island from the start?

Eliot felt his scalp go numb.

Just what kind of person had he been plotting against these past few days?

He had truly been courting death.

Eliot could not help but whisper, "Duke, Sea God Island’s forces have been completely wiped out. Once the main island learns of this, will they come to trouble us again?"

Who knew?

Duke Windy’s mind was in chaos.

Sea God Island had three main islands, all of roughly equal strength.

Each main island had god servants.

Now, four of the seven god servants on that island had died?

Did they really still have the strength to come trouble Fang Heng again?

Seeing Duke Windy remain silent, Eliot swallowed nervously and asked, "Then what about Fang Heng? Will he come trouble us?"

Duke Windy’s heart tightened at the question.

Not good!

He had been far too careless in what he had done before. If Fang Heng wanted to investigate, it would be easy to trace everything back to him.

But who could have known in advance that Fang Heng possessed such terrifying power?

If he had known earlier, he would have rushed to curry favor with him.

No.

He had to find a way to make amends immediately.

For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Duke Windy’s mind.

Princess Willow was also far from calm.

Although she had already judged that Fang Heng would win, seeing him crush Sea God Island’s main fleet so effortlessly still felt unreal.

Princess Willow took a deep breath. Seeing that Fang Heng’s merchant ship had no intention of returning and was instead continuing forward, she frowned slightly and asked, "He isn’t coming back? Did he say anything before he left?"

Duke Windy steadied himself and replied, "Before leaving, Fang Heng said he was grateful for Your Highness’s help. If Your Highness encounters trouble in the future, you may seek him out."

Willow nodded lightly.

At least the Oz Empire had paid a considerable price in exchange for one promise from Fang Heng.

Perhaps it was not too great a loss.

With Fang Heng’s support, so long as they did not face Sea God Island, the Oz Empire could dominate the smaller nations across the sea.

"And also, Your Highness, that ship—before Fang Heng left, he said everything on board was left for you."

Had Duke Windy not just witnessed Fang Heng personally crushing Sea God Island’s fleet, he might not have honestly handed the ship over to Willow.

But now, Duke Windy had completely abandoned any thought of continuing to oppose Fang Heng. All he could think about was how to ease the tension between them.

Princess Willow’s eyes brightened at once. She nodded and said, "Come. Let’s go take a look."

The Empire soldiers stepped aside and opened a path.

Led by a soldier, the group entered the ship’s cabin and immediately sensed a powerful coercion. Their gazes gathered at a wooden chest in the center of the cabin.

The chest was open.

The coercion came from the divine statue inside it.

Everyone’s expressions turned grave.

What terrifying pressure.

Judging from the coercion alone, the strength of the divine statue might have reached the transcendent tier.

"Your Highness."

The group turned toward the voice and saw two native game NPCs dressed in Fang Heng’s Chamber of Commerce attire step out from the shadows of the cabin. They bowed slightly toward the princess and the others.

"We were ordered by Our Lord to follow Princess Willow’s commands, assist Your Highness in recruiting priests, and spread the faith of the deity. This divine statue is a gift from Our Lord to Your Highness."

One of them handed a letter to Princess Willow.

"And this letter is also for Your Highness."

Willow’s expression turned solemn. She accepted the envelope and carefully read its contents. Her heart jolted, and she could not help murmuring to herself,

"Worship the god... recruit believers..."
