Although Ackmond wasn't a seasoned actor, when he knew it was to help Lin Fan, his acting skills exploded, reaching their peak. He thought to himself, "No matter what, I have to perform well and absolutely cannot have any problems."
The array activated.
A beam of light shot up into the sky.
The rich abyssal aura shook everyone's hearts.
The heroes were ready for battle.
"Everyone, be careful, the evil god is about to appear." Coran stared seriously at the situation in front of her, gripping the greatsword in her hand. She didn't know what she would face later, but she would never give up.
Bring it on.
No matter how difficult it was, she would defeat the evil god and protect this world.
Gradually, a shadowy figure appeared faintly in the light curtain. Its massive size brought an immense sense of oppression.
The evil god's outline emerged.
"I have finally descended. Everything in the world will be destroyed..."
A resounding, deep, and heavy voice reverberated.
Everyone's hearts trembled, feeling a chill. The evil god's might was too terrifying; it felt like facing a bottomless abyss, ready to swallow them at any moment.
When Ackmond normally descended, he was very serious and solemn. The might of an abyssal lord was absolutely domineering and grand. Anyone who saw it would think...
Is this the power of an evil god?
Before long, a figure appeared in front of everyone.
The Abyssal Lord Ackmond pressed his palms on a giant sword, his body burning with a ghostly green flame. A monstrous, ferocious aura swept through the entire church.
"Such a strong aura." Coran's face was grave. The opponent's power was truly strong. Even without him making a move, she could feel it. Could she really defeat such an opponent?
Not only was she thinking this, but so were the other heroes.
Ackmond surveyed his surroundings.
A considerable number of people.
Many weaklings.
As an abyssal lord, even the Pope wouldn't dare to contend with him. These guys were far from his level.
Hmm...
This aura must be Lin Fan's daughter. Her strength was really good. With proper training, she would definitely become a legendary powerhouse.
He would have to go easy on her later and not be too harsh. Otherwise, if Lin Fan remembered this, wouldn't it damage their friendship?
Of course, in his heart, he had already cursed the Pope to high heaven.
That damned dog.
Truly despicable.
Simply a scoundrel.
He, the Abyssal Lord, hated acting as the villain the most. He wanted to be good friends with Coran, like an uncle-like figure. But unexpectedly, their first meeting was in this manner.
No way.
It hurt his heart.
The Pope transmitted his voice to Ackmond, "Don't just stand there, get started! Immerse yourself completely!"
As the general director, the Pope was sometimes very anxious. The actor wasn't performing well, always spacing out. If his status wasn't too unsuitable, he would want to personally act it out for them, to let them know what real acting was.
You call this acting?
You're just coasting.
Hearing the Pope's words, Ackmond wanted to fiercely stomp the Pope under his feet and give him a good beating. Damn him, was this the tone he used to speak to him, the Abyssal Lord Ackmond?
Forget it.
He'd endure it.
Ackmond flashed a sharp gaze and said, "Humans, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to defy the will of me, the Abyssal Evil God Ackmond?"
Coran shouted angrily, "Your place is in the abyss. This is not where you belong. Get back!"
Wu wu...
Ackmond felt bitter inside. He didn't expect to be scolded by Coran. He was her Uncle Ack! Although they hadn't met, Uncle Ack and her father were good friends. As his daughter, she should have some basic respect for Uncle Ack, right?
No one could understand the bitterness in Ackmond's heart at this moment.
No matter what, he, Ackmond, had to perform this scene to the absolute fullest.
"Insolent!"
Ackmond roared, a sonic wave suddenly spreading outwards. A terrifying aura enveloped everyone. To them, Ackmond was like an invincible existence.
But even so, they weren't afraid.
The Pope watched from the shadows.
Very good.
Ackmond's acting was commendable, especially his entrance and the equipment he carried. It was clear that Ackmond had prepared beforehand.
Truly excellent.
He hoped he would continue to work hard.
Lin Fan sighed, "Coran has grown up."
It had been a while since he had seen Coran. Seeing his child grow up, he felt very gratified. The only key thing to say was... she hadn't grown enough yet.
"Boke, I feel this scene needs to be longer," Lin Fan said.
Pope Boke asked in surprise, "You mean to extend it?"
"Yes. Although Coran is already quite good, the gap is still large. Let them lose this battle," Lin Fan said.
The Pope: "Understood."
Now, the Pope was the director, and Lin Fan was the financier. When the financier spoke, even if the plot had been decided, it had to be adjusted immediately.
Thinking carefully, the Pope felt that Lin Fan's words made a lot of sense.
The Abyssal Lord Ackmond was very powerful. If he was defeated right after appearing without doing anything, it would be a bit absurd.
It should last longer.
However...
The only thing the Pope was worried about was that he was afraid this matter would escalate and eventually alarm the entire continent. If that really happened, then things would get interesting.
At this moment, Ackmond had received the Pope's message: Don't lose, just overwhelmingly crush them, give them immense pressure. Hmm, this was great. As the Abyssal Lord, if he was defeated here, honestly, it would be quite embarrassing.
It would be fine if no other abyssal beings saw it.
But if they saw it and spread the word, where would his face be?
Soon, a battle to destroy the evil god erupted.
Lin Fan and the Pope watched from the shadows. The Pope watched very intently, seemingly a little nervous.
"Go Coran, beat him up!" The Pope really hoped Coran would give Ackmond a good beating, preferably until he couldn't tell north from south.
Lin Fan patted the Pope's shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous, things are developing well. Want some snacks?"
The Pope noticed Lin Fan peeling peanuts and eating them with relish. "Where did you get those?"
Lin Fan said, "I found them by chance. They taste really good. I didn't expect to find this kind of food here. It's a pleasant surprise."
Without saying more, the Pope took some peanuts and peeled them with Lin Fan. "This child is really something. Ordinary people wouldn't even have the courage to fight against an Abyssal Lord, let alone be as brave as her."
"Yes, she is indeed a brave child," Lin Fan said.
If Coran knew that her father and the Pope were hiding in the shadows, eating peanuts and watching her struggle, she would definitely ask, "Dad, am I still your little darling?"
Could they really bear to watch her suffer like this?
Boom!
Dull roars continued to ring out.
Watching her teammates fall one by one, Coran's heart ached. Holding her greatsword, she roared and charged towards Ackmond. Leaping up, she raised her greatsword high and slashed down fiercely.
The greatsword was covered in white light, emitting a chilling frost. The surrounding space seemed to freeze.
Clang!
Ackmond raised his giant sword and blocked the attack. With a slight exertion of force, a terrifying power erupted. Coran's expression changed drastically as she was sent flying back. She flipped in the air, landing a foot on the wall. Using the wall's force, she charged again.
Too strong.
He was truly too strong.
Coran knew the evil god's power was terrifying, but during the fight, she discovered that power was incredibly formidable.
"Is this the extent of a human hero's strength?" Ackmond laughed, his laughter deep and low, his eyes glowing with a ghostly green light, extremely eerie.
At this moment, intense magical elements fluctuated.
Tia and a group of mages cast high-level magic. She couldn't do this alone, but combining everyone's magic power, casting high-level magic was indeed difficult, but not impossible.
"High-level magic?"
Ackmond didn't care at all.
Before long, Tia said, "Shatter!"
A black vortex appeared above Ackmond's head, and then a magical force slammed down, crushing him. Moments later, the expectant crowd discovered that the high-level magic had no effect at all.
"Too weak. You mortals dare to provoke the majesty of the Abyssal Evil God? This is blasphemy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ackmond's eyes flickered slightly. A mental crush! The magic-depleted mages, hit by this mental attack, instantly collapsed, losing all combat ability.
"Tia..."
Coran gasped, gripping her greatsword tightly. It was a feeling of helplessness against a powerful enemy. Seeing her companions fall one by one, Coran felt anxious, feeling useless.
Lin Fan and the Pope watched, both nodding in satisfaction.
This was what battle was like.
Danger fueled motivation. If one swept through everything effortlessly, there would be no feeling, everything would be bland. Just like Lin Fan now, he wanted to find a strong opponent to have a serious spar, but it was really difficult.
He didn't even know where to find one.
Right...
In that dream, he had punched out a chaotic space and seemed to sense a powerful being in the extreme distance. However, he needed to end the dream and return to Yanhai City.
He didn't go looking for that being.
Now, he couldn't find them even if he wanted to.
"Boke, have Ack apply some pressure, target Coran's teammates, but don't hurt them. They are Coran's best friends. I can sense a hidden power within Coran that hasn't erupted yet," Lin Fan said.
The Pope said, "No problem."
To the Pope, he didn't care. It wasn't him attacking Coran's friends. Even if Coran later learned about her two uncles, she definitely wouldn't hate him. If she had to hate someone, it would be the Abyssal Lord.
He was the one making the moves.
He was just watching the show, and it was her father who asked him to watch. He couldn't help it.
Subsequently, he informed Ackmond of the situation.
Hearing this, Ackmond felt very uncomfortable. They were playing for real?
This would easily attract hatred.
