The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor

Chapter 343: Chapter 287: War Saint Emperor Rodman

At the peak of the towering Holy Mountain of Light, the Saint Emperor of Light, Akelie, with blood on the corner of his mouth, looked breathlessly at the War Saint Emperor opposite him.

Rodman Stern, this is the real name of the War Saint Emperor, but usually no one calls him that, not out of respect for one of the top ten Saint Emperors, but out of disdain for this bastard Saint Emperor, feeling that calling out this name would dirty the tongue.

Under Rodman’s leadership, the War Divine Hall constantly incited war to gain power, glorified war, and concocted endless schemes. Many nations had suffered from their secret machinations.

If you list the struggles for the throne and rebel uprisings in various nations over the years, at least ninety percent of those events have the shadow of the War Divine Hall behind them.

From their hearts, everyone on the Divine Protection Continent wished the War Divine Hall would perish early, including the Endless Empire where the headquarters of the War Divine Hall is located.

But they can only hope for their demise early, unable to personally cleanse the portal of the Miracle World.

After all, the War God is the first Main God under the Light God King, and he has brought down miracles in recent times more frequently than the sum total of all other deities, the "hardworking" god indeed.

Therefore, no matter how much Akelie despised Rodman and his War Divine Hall, he could only grit his teeth and work reluctantly with him.

However, Akelie couldn’t act against Rodman, but couldn’t stop Rodman from acting against him.

Shortly after Lord Lynn took away the most elite troops of the Divine Protection Continent, Rodman impatiently tore off his disguise and took advantage to ambush him.

Fortunately, his tier as Light Guardian was high; even if Rodman suddenly unleashed the unknown, hidden Peak Saint Tier power, Akelie still managed to withstand it.

A single ambush is easy to defend against, but real strength crushing is hard to handle. His true strength was less than Rodman’s, and the divine gifts were not necessarily fewer than his. After a bout of combat, Akelie was already heavily injured, but Rodman was unscathed.

"Why? Even if you are utterly ruthless, you are still part of the Human Race! Why would you forcefully rebel when we are about to reclaim our homeland?"

Akelie wiped away the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth and loudly questioned Rodman. He wasn’t surprised by the War Divine Hall’s tricks but didn’t expect them to openly rebel.

The act of ambushing him, the Pope of the Light Church Court, and the former Light Divine Envoy, was already considered a betrayal of the Light God King, a betrayal of the entire Human Race and even the whole Miracle World.

"Akelie, you and I have worked together for many years, I didn’t want this either, but someone wants to completely end the wars that have continued for thousands of years. How could the great War God agree to such a thing?"

Rodman held a bloody long saber, stained with the blood of several Cardinals he killed amidst the chaos. He had hidden his power for the main god’s great plan, never expecting to have the chance to display his true contemporary top prowess in this life. But unexpectedly, the opportunity came so quickly.

Although this opportunity’s arrival meant he completely lost the chance to become the top figure of this era, for the main god, it was a great offering.

Lynn, the legendary World-saving Hero, still was the legendary godsent warrior.

The first legend is true, but the second...

What a joke, the gods lack the ability to dispatch an invincible hero to resolve the world’s existential crisis; they can’t even save themselves!

Originally, if Lynn had just laid on his laurels, indulged in luxury, no one would have cared regardless of how excessive he became.

But he insists on exterminating the Demon Race!

If it was normal warfare, the War Divine Hall couldn’t wait for the year-long stalled war to restart, but he was not waging normal warfare...

This guy intended to use brutal personal power to further decimate the already shaven Demon Race and then completely drive them out of the Miracle World.

How can that be! Without the Demon Race, there’s no external war to fight, and with Near Gods ruling, internal conflict can’t be stirred, then War Divine Hall would be effectively non-existent!

The War God is currently at a critical juncture, if supply is completely cut off, the whole endeavor might fail. As His most loyal follower, the War Divine Hall decisively can’t let the flames of war extinguish.

Now is the most opportune moment, Lynn took away all the Divine Protection Continent’s elite troops, even eight of the top ten Saint Emperors, leaving him and the War Divine Hall behind.

This is a godsend opportunity; the opponent’s coordination seemed pre-planned with him, his arrangement is entirely to prevent wolves from growing stronger while he retired the hunting rifles, leaving only a hunting dog guarding the sheep pen.

He clearly knew the War Divine Hall had a second intent, otherwise he wouldn’t have left them behind from reaping war benefits, but his handling was astonishingly stupid, surely he didn’t think just Akelie could prevent their chaos?

It’s also Lynn not knowing Rodman’s thoughts at this moment, otherwise, he could only sigh, indeed admitting "I was foolish, foolish to consider you at least human."

"The War God may not want to see war end, but would He want to see the Divine King’s followers, and the gods’ people erupt into civil war? Even if you are frantic for power, inciting conflict between great and small nations or between great nations should be the limit, right? But I, the Light Empire, am the Light God King’s inheriting nation! You daring to wage war directly against me, does the War God intend to usurp the divine throne?!"
