Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!-Chapter 2209

(Wait for revision) The eyes within the gemstone opened, unlike the eyes engraved or painted elsewhere, these eyes seemed to come alive as they opened, rotating and subjecting anyone they saw to a psychic attack, causing the players to fall one after another.

"Smash the gemstone!" The players besieging the Divine Temple quickly reacted, focusing their target on the hands of the Divine Envoys. Killing them was not easy, but using special items and props to make them lose one or two things wasn’t difficult.

Thus, after the confrontation, two gemstones held by the Divine Envoys slipped off the altar and were snatched by the players stranded in the Outer Zone.

With three against two, both sides began to harm each other. Players continuously fell out of the combat due to psychic attacks, and it was evident that the Outer Zone players were far more skilled than those from the Divine Temple. It wasn’t long before the temple’s side fell into a disadvantage.

"As long as the Goddess doesn’t intervene, we will surely win!" The female player from the Outer Zone rallied, "Kill the Divine Envoy!"

The Defensive Barrier on the altar was near its breaking point. One of the Divine Envoys, frightened, grabbed the Saintess beside him and ordered the players to retreat.

The stranded players and those supporting the Saintess had evidently reached an agreement; ensuring the safety of the Saintess was necessary. Thus, the attacking players exchanged looks and stepped back.

But then, an unforeseen turn of events occurred. The Saintess, who was being held hostage, suddenly and wordlessly rushed into the blade of the Divine Envoy. With a spray of blood, she fell to the ground.

The other Saintesses on the altar swarmed forward, thrusting the Divine Envoy’s sword into his chest!

The Divine Envoy and the Saintess who represented the Goddess were both killed, leaving the scene to suddenly fall silent. Everyone stared at the two bodies on the altar, unsure how to react.

Could it be that the Divine Envoy and the Saintess, protecting the Divine Temple for the Goddess, were killed beside the Goddess Statue?

Not only people from the temple and the believers found it unbelievable, but even the stranded players who had been shouting to kill the Divine Envoy were surprised. But they soon reacted, shouting, "The Divine Envoy, under the guise of the Saintess’s murder, secretly hunted down and harmed the Saintess’s followers, and now dares to kill the Saintess in front of everyone. He deserves to die! They deserve to die!"

This, however, did not sway the believers to their side. Some wept beneath the Goddess Statue, crying, "Has the Goddess really abandoned us?"

The cries affected more people. More terrifying than the internal strife within the temple was the fear that the Goddess might leave them, and allowing the Divine Envoy and Saintess to attack each other and even resulting in a fatality seemed to confirm this notion. In an instant, more people began to weep, the waves of cries overshadowing the life-and-death struggle in the temple, making it seem as if what they were fighting over didn’t matter to anyone but themselves.

Thousands were gathered around the Divine Temple, not to mention those further out in the city. Such a massive collective wailing stirred even the nonchalant Outer Zone players, filling them with a tinge of compassion and sorrow.

"This must be the power of faith," Huang Mao said with deep sadness. "Seeing the faithful’s belief collapse would touch anyone. Moreover, a breakdown in belief might lead to survival challenges."

Xu Huo caught a fragment of a balloon falling from the sky. "Petals and petals are different, but such slight differences are not worth delving into."

At that moment, he felt a power fluctuation from the Goddess Statue. In the next second, all the eyes on the statue suddenly opened, and as psychic power spread, the patterns on the plaza’s tiles, surrounding buildings, inside and outside the Divine Temple, and even the floating eyes in the sky all came alive in an instant!

*

Amid the astonished gazes of the temple crowd, she turned to the Goddess Statue and shouted sharply, "To speak openly, I’m not only here to expose the Divine Envoy’s hypocritical face, but also to kill them. If the Goddess truly stands on the side of the Divine Envoy, she can kill me first!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she teleported into the Divine Temple, charging straight for the Divine Envoy on the Central Altar!

Several players immediately came out to intercept her. After a few rounds of confrontation, the female player was knocked out of the temple. She landed on a nearby building without any fear of being repulsed and instead laughed heartily, "Look! If the Divine Envoy was innocent, why wouldn’t the Goddess intervene against me? This means even the Goddess thinks the Divine Envoy deserves to die!"

Regardless of whether the Goddess intervenes, using props or devices can temporarily resist mental interference. Both the players and believers familiar with the players know this. But the Goddess, in their eyes, is more than just a boss in an instance; she represents absolute strength. No matter how powerful an Outer Zone player is, they will be punished for breaking the rules, especially those causing trouble in the temple. Even though this female player wore props, everyone believed she shouldn’t have had no reaction at all.

After all, "Who can resist the power of the Goddess?"

Indeed, from the believers’ perspective, if the Goddess took action, it wouldn’t matter if the person was an Advanced Player or a Super Player, but this female player broke into the temple, loudly proclaiming she would kill the Divine Envoy, and the Goddess didn’t respond at all. Does this mean...

"Kill the Divine Envoy! Save the Saintess!" the female player shouted loudly, and players concealed in the crowd emerged one after another, swiftly surrounding the altar!

The believers hadn’t recovered from the repeatedly shifting "truths," as chaos erupted within the Divine Temple.

They couldn’t understand what was happening, nor decipher truth from falsehood, feeling powerless in the face of the current situation. So they fell to their knees before the Goddess Statue, praying for the Goddess to resolve this issue.

The crowd kneeled like waves, with prayers and shouts rising and falling like ocean spray, interspersed with the sounds of players clashing in the temple and the Outer Zone players sternly challenging the Divine Envoy.

Some fought for the Saintess, others for revenge for their children, and some aimed to eliminate dual-gender reproduction from history... These people intertwined and paid no heed to those kneeling helplessly outside the temple.

"Really not going to intervene?" Xu Huo gazed at the Goddess Statue in front of the temple. The statue remained unmoved, the previously opening eyes now shut tight, seemingly unwilling to witness the scene before it.

Huang Mao, thinking Xu Huo was talking to himself, said, "You want to get involved in this mess? It’s their internal strife. Even the Goddess isn’t intervening, why should we? Making a move might only backfire on us."

Xu Huo didn’t say much, diverting some attention to the altar.

While they fought, they didn’t give it their all, as most of the Saintesses on the altar were ordinary people. Both sides deliberately avoided them, turning them into shields protecting the Divine Envoys. The Divine Envoys also busied themselves, each pulling out a transparent gemstone and opening it in the middle, revealing the eyes carved inside.

The Divine Envoy on the Central Altar raised a gemstone high and shouted, "Goddess, please execute the traitors!"

The eye in the middle of the gemstone opened.
