Chapter 669: Hand me whatever punishment you like! (2/2)
“Oh? What about you? Heh, don’t forget that for all those years under your leadership, the Calamity Church came underneath the Church of Light. It is also you who caused the Calamity Church to be despised by the masses and resulted in the church members having to spend their days in hiding all these years. I really doubt that I could perform worse than that!” Han Shuo said calmly, smiling at Kironlo.
“Shut up! I, I was just being flexible! If it wasn’t for my decision, the Church wouldn’t have preserved itself till this day!” Kironlo said unyieldingly with his face flushed with anger. Those words of Han Shuo had precisely struck his sore point.
“Old bastard, who are you telling to shut up?” Han Shuo’s face suddenly turned cold and he said in a chilly voice.
“You son of a bitch, how dare you behave so unbridledly before the Revered Divine Envoys!” Kironlo replied furiously.
Han Shuo decided to cut the nonsense and suddenly shot towards Kironlo. His left hand shot forward at lightning speed, instantly buckled Kironlo’s neck, and raised him high in the air. Han Shuo then deployed a Demonic Blade on the middle finger of his right hand and proceeded to ruthlessly poke the incisive edge into Kironlo’s wide open mouth. After giving it a moment of good stirring, Kironlo’s tongue was torn and blended with his teeth, gums, and blood. He whimpered miserably with a frightened face while blood gushed out from his mutilated mouth.
Now, Kironlo could not utter a single word. His legs that were suspended in the air were kicking about. His terrified and begging eyes were looking at Donna and her experts, waiting for them to strike Han Shuo.
All those mortals in the shrine thought that Han Shuo must have gone mad to treat Kironlo with such bloody means right before Donna and her experts. Those cardinals who were aligned to Han Shuo sighed and lowered their heads. They couldn’t bear to witness the horrifying scene that Han Shuo would soon suffer.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
Even after they counted to five, strangely, other than Kironlo’s miserable grunting that was growing audibly louder, those with their heads lowered did not hear any sign of activity.
Puzzled, they raised their heads to look. They saw that Kironlo’s face was badly mangled and nearly unrecognizable. Even his cheeks were pierced by the sharp blade.
Meanwhile, not only did those godly entities from the distant material plane not look bothered, they were smiling as they watched Han Shuo in his violent ways. They showed not the slightest intention of stepping in.
Kironlo’s fear turned into despair. He looked on at Donna and her experts with helpless eyes while his hands and legs were throwing about disorderly, as though he was trying to express something. But soon enough, even his kicking and swinging limbs were broken by Han Shuo and they drooped down powerlessly, just like his mood.
Those cardinals who wanted to see Han Shuo be humiliated and those who were worried for him were all dumbstruck. They stopped looking at Kironlo but placed all their focus on Donna and her experts to try to figure out what was actually going on.
Gradually, from their gazes at Han Shuo, those cardinals vaguely understood something.
In the eyes of Donna and her experts, they discovered admiration, the lightness of watching a comedy unfold, the harmony between friends…
“Bryan, that’s enough. Just put this tactless fella to death right away. Don’t make it too bloody!” Donna finally voiced out when she saw that Han Shuo’s intentions of skinning Kironlo alive.
Upon hearing those words, those cardinals turned pale with fright. Their eyes were filled with fear and reverence that could not be concealed!
“Okay!” Han Shuo stopped tormenting the minds of those people and gave Kironlo a pat on his forehead. Splat! Kironlo’s head exploded like an egg in a microwave.
While those cardinals were panic-stricken, Donna leisurely announced, “From today onwards, Profound Continent shall belong to Bryan. Anything and everything will be under his authority. You will all obey his commands, and he is entitled to punish those who go against his wishes. Do you understand?”
“Un.. understood…” those cardinals whose faces were filled with dread hastily answered.
“Good. You are all dismissed!” Donna nodded her head in satisfaction and casually instructed.
To Donna and her experts, these cardinals of meager strengths were as insignificant as ants. They were not even qualified to speak to them.
Following Donna’s command, even the big fat pope got up to make a hasty exit.
“Pope, you have nothing to worry about. Everything related to the Calamity Church on Profound Continent will still be under your control. You will even soon find that your power over others grows stronger and broader!” Han Shuo said to the Calamity Pope.
“I understand!” By now, the Calamity Pope had recognized the true situation. He performed a respectful bow towards Han Shuo and solemnly retreated.
“This is one tactful fella. Looks like you are going to save a ton of work!” after the pope left, Donna thoughtfully gave her assessment.
“He has to be discerning in order to uphold his position!” Han Shuo said smilingly. He wasn’t afraid that the big fat Pope would have other intentions. This was because the big fatty was aware of his superior strength, in addition to having made it out that the decision came from those higher up in command. With that, he definitely dared not to have any deviant thoughts.
The reason that Han Shuo consoled him was that Han Shuo needed him to administer the Calamity Church well. He did not want the big fatty to face everything pessimistically and no longer serve the Calamity Church wholeheartedly.
“Alright. Let me brief you about the current circumstances. There are some stipulations that you have to follow!” Donna explained the exact same information that Olde previously informed him.
“Congratulations, Bryan! Hehe, so it turns out that my grandpa’s skeletal staff is in your possession. That’s even more reason for you to visit my family when you are at Elysium. Which reminds me, are you acquainted with that old lizard? He’s at my family too!” Li Wei giggled.
“I do know him. I will make sure to pay you a visit sooner or later!” Han Shuo immediately made a promise after hearing that Ancient Lizard King Dagassi was there.
“Bryan, we will begin our journey home very soon. Would you like to tag along?” asked Donna.
“I still need to cultivate for a period of time. But right after that, I will head to Elysium to look for you all,” Han Shuo politely refused Donna’s proposal after thinking for a moment. He felt that he needed to familiarize himself with his current realm and forge a few demonic treasures before leaving for the Plane of Gods.
