The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1683 - 474: Judgment Cross!

Himenes's cold and solemn voice echoed under the soaring dome of the Twilight City Cathedral, like the bell sound of judging heretics.

The air seemed to solidify in an instant.

All eyes were focused on that moonlight-like silvery hair, and Erin's expressionless face, each with different emotions.

Skylar's heart was up in his throat.

This "plasterer of the Kingdom" realized he seemed to have stirred up a storm far beyond his expectations.

But this was not his original intention.

He didn't want the Campbell family and the Church Court to tear each other apart, but merely wanted to use the Church Court to temper the arrogance of the Campbell family... After all, the Ryan Kingdom could still make use of this indomitable sword.

Moreover, without the Campbell family, who would guard the exit of the Vortex Sea and suppress the Demon King of Thunder County?

They couldn't possibly allocate a branch of the Devalu family there.

It would be better to let the Campbell family stay there!

At least the Campbell family has not claimed any title in the Kingdom, not even a weak claim that lacked legitimacy.

Erin's emerald green pupils slightly contracted, a chill gradually climbing up her spine.

She was about to say something, but Himenes gave her no chance to explain, as his forefinger was already touching the cross pendant entwined with silver thorns on his chest.

"In the name of Saint Sis..."

The deep and holy chant began, boundless majesty surged like tides crashing against rocks, rushing towards the surrounding pillars and walls.

Buzz—!

The invisible Holy Sanctuary instantaneously engulfed the entire magnificent cathedral!

The air seemed to turn into viscous amber in the blink of an eye, holy pressure pressing in from all directions. The church's stained glass windows seemed like the keys of an accordion, playing the melody of the hymn.

Golden light shot from Himenes's eyes.

His gaunt figure appeared extraordinarily tall reflected in the Holy Light, as if an Angel had descended upon him!

That was—

"Judgment Cross"!

The knowledgeable Court Manager Skylar recognized that divine artifact at a glance, a hint of panic crossing his aged face as he instinctively raised his arm to shield himself from the dazzling light.

He didn't know what the Referee Chief intended to do.

He only knew that even devout mortals could hardly withstand that holy power, and all evil would have nowhere to hide in its presence...

But why use it here?!

The surrounding Executors were on high alert, their right hands resting on the hilts of their swords at their waists, taking up a stance to confront the most troublesome heretics.

They too were clueless about what the Referee Chief was doing.

But from past experiences, whenever the Holy Sanctuary descended around them, it was a moment for them to offer their loyalty to Saint Sis!

However—

This time seemed different from the past.

In the light capable of purifying all evil, Erin Campbell stood, unmovable as a statue, calmly.

Her face remained as pale as a marble wall, her tense face seemed to show a hint of pain, yet it didn't appear to be caused by the Holy Light itself.

It was doubt.

As time ticked by, a drop of sweat slid down Himenes's forehead, and the golden light in his eyes only burned brighter.

That fully committed stance, as if he'd sacrifice his body to drag the Angel back to earth once more.

Erin remained indifferent, merely watching him silently, even the trace of pain on her face vanished, leaving only an ice-coldness that sunlight could not melt.

The anticipated scene of the heretic being purified did not occur.

The first to waver were the surrounding Executors.

Their tightly gripped right hands unconsciously loosened from the sword hilts, bewildered looks exchanged among them.

The Priests and Nuns in the church were the same, still puzzled about what the Referee Chief intended to do.

Could he suspect Princess Aileen of being Chaos's Apostle?

It was Erin who saved them, at least she contributed part of her strength, and all the citizens of Twilight City remembered this.

As the faithful began to waver, the Angel descending upon Himenes seemed unable to hold on, the golden light in those eyes flickering like a candle flame about to burn out.

The Holy Light that engulfed the hall receded like an ebbing tide, finally condensing at Himenes's chest, revealing those murky eyes hidden behind the Holy veil.

Those eyes were filled with astonishment.

Himenes looked at Erin incredulously, gazing at the girl with silver hair unscathed in the Holy Light, his shock was unparalleled.

How could it be...

No reaction?

Previously he heard reports from the Judge sent to Jing Shui Beach Territory, claiming Erin could use the "Light of Praise" with impunity, and suspicions had already arisen in his heart.

Especially since Erin suddenly left Twilight City on the eve of the Judicial Court's arrival, and let the Salvation Army and their collaborators go, which intensified his doubts.

Now seeing this silver hair exuding a foreboding aura, he almost concluded, based on his extensive judgment experience, that this hero who once aspired to Holy Light eventually sold her soul to Hell to obtain power not belonging to her.

Even if her intention was to fight against Chaos, such betrayal is intolerable to the Judicial Court!

If not more than ninety percent confident, Himenes would never rashly use the divine artifact granted by the Pope.

But looking at it now, did he really misunderstand her?
