I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot Chapter 1016: 16.62 First Red Star - Destruction of the Templar Temple.

Chapter 1016: 16.62 First Red Star - Destruction of the Templar Temple.

Lemuel Elon chose not to waste time after enticing the remaining Templar Temple followers and asked everyone to divide into two groups. One to help guard the gates, while the other to accompany me to the Pope's chamber and ease Kenan Light's long sleep.

Lemuel Elon said, "Split into two groups. One to guard the gates until we return with the head of the Pope while the others come with me to get the only way for us to survive!"

People in the area did as they were told. Those proceeding at the main gates of their territory were in greater numbers, with only a few remaining with Cardinal Lemuel Elon. They proceed to the chamber where Pope Kenan Light was sleeping, led by the Temple's sole remaining Cardinal. He abruptly pushed the doors open, clearly no longer caring or respecting his actions for the person inside.

To firmly protect the man at the center, the chamber where the Pope is staying was surrounded by enchanted protective spells all over the walls of the rooms. The room's interior was even more opulent than the gold-plated interiors of the Templar Temple's Main Building. The furniture in the room was made of jade stone walls and flooring covered in thick gold furred carpets, as well as expensive and ma.s.sive wardrobes with bookshelves and a huge bed where the Pope is currently sleeping.

Seeing the man with golden hair in his crimson robes made the person on the bed look like a holy being. The light elements that hovered over him were like fairy sprites protecting him. But, for some reason, the light elements inside the room were on a rampage, as if they wanted to get out of there, away from what scared them the most.

Cardinal Lemuel and the others were perplexed when they saw this. This situation had never occurred before, and it appeared that something else was about to occur.

"The light elements in this room are in chaos. What is happening with the vessel of the Pope?"

"Is the Pope finally waking up?!"

When they see this strange situation, the other priests with Cardinal Lemuel Elon have second thoughts about their original reason for coming here. But, clearly, Cardinal Lemuel Elon doesn't care if they agree or disagree. He destroyed all protective spells and arrays inside the room with a wave of his hand, but as soon as they did, the light elements inside the room and inside the Pope's body all flew away. They all took off as if fleeing.

The moment the light elements had disappeared from the room, everyone noticed the huge changes in the body of the Pope. They can no longer feel the holy aura coming from Pope Kenan Light which was usually possessed and emitted by his body as if it was natural.

"W-What is happening? I can no longer feel light elements from the Pope!"

"The only time the elements in one's body disappear is when the vessel is dead. Then... The Pope, Kenan Light, had died!?"

"Impossible! How can His Holiness the Pope die? We healed him with all our gotta until there weren't any physical injuries even a single trace was treated."

"Don't tell me... An injury to the soul?"

"Possible but... Would Instructor Skoll cause such a thing? He is the Werewolf's Ancestor. Do werewolves have means to injure one's soul?"

Cardinal Lemuel Elon's instincts were telling him that something extremely bad was about to happen. The other priests were approaching the Pope on the bed in the center of the room when he suddenly felt danger coming from that direction.

He warned them, "Don't go there! Come back!"

The other priests were taken aback and surprised by the Cardinal's sudden yells. They all turned around to look at Lemuel Elon and failed to notice the dark aura that suddenly emerges from Pope Kenan Light's body. This black aura was alive, emitting a dangerous and greedy nature as it moved quickly toward the priests near the bed. The black aura wraps around the priests like a python leaping toward his prey, and the captured priest begins screaming. Their cries revealed their anguish and pain.

This black aura, in the eyes of Cardinal Lemuel Elon and the other priests, was like a greedy monster, draining the life force and energy inside the bodies of the captured preys, not even their blood and flesh. The rest could only stand there and watch as the living humans transformed into human-shaped skin with nothing inside. Only the hollow skin remained.

When the sleeping man on the bed awoke, he appeared evil, his golden hair replaced with a reddish blood-like shade and black hue. His golden eyes had been replaced by ruby-like vertical irises. Pope Kenan Light was no longer a human the moment he awoke. However, a monster of an unknown race, that is capable of wielding the power to devour.

Kenan Light felt his entire body stiff, especially his joints when he tried to move. As he moved his limbs and sat up from his bed, his bones cracked. Kenan Light showed an evil grin when his ruby inhuman eyes landed on the other beings in the room, especially when he saw his dying subordinate.

"Lemuel Elon, at the end you choose to sacrifice your own life to keep Darius Rueden's life. Now the gu inside your body is slowly eating you alive and in the end, you would have to die with the most painful death you would never expect." Kenan Light said. His gaze was cold and completely evil. He was watching the pain Cardinal Lemuel Elon was suffering with an entertained look. He was enjoying the suffering of others.

Cardinal Lemuel Elon couldn't contain his rage after hearing what this devil had said. He used the last of his light elements to leap toward the unguarded Pope. He planned to use self-destruction to kill the devil through self-sacrifice. Everyone watched as the Cardinal self-destructed and a ma.s.sive explosion exploded inside the chamber, blowing up the entire room and destroying the entire floor.

The explosion also affected the other priests, who were killed by its aftereffects. Cardinal Lemuel Elon's body was shattered to ashes, leaving nothing but the devil on the bed unharmed. He was completely unaffected by the explosion caused by Cardinal Lemuel Elon's sacrifice, not even dust or ashes fell on him. Pope Kenan Light was unmoved, even covering his nose as if he didn't want to inhale some of the dust floating around the room.

"What's with him making the place dusty? Even destroying this Lord's room."

Kenan Light pretended as if the person who exploded didn't die to drag him down, but rather to make his room dusty, causing him to sneeze. Such apathy toward the deaths of others. Only then do the remaining living priests realize that the Pope they knew no longer exists. Only that the Pope had turned into a true devil from the inside out.

"Ah!! Monster! That's a devil. The devil had left h.e.l.l!!!"

"He is going to kill us. He is going to kill everyone!!"

"Spare... Please spare this useless one, your Holiness. This servant is willing to serve the Holiness until the end of his life."

Kenan Light appears uninterested in the fear these humans are displaying; even their pleading words did not reach his ears. He no longer requires the validation of others to demonstrate his strength. Because he was now capable of destroying the entire world by himself, he felt compelled to do so.

As he raises his chin and looks down on the humans in front of him, the corner of his lips curls up arrogantly; he no longer sees them as living beings, but as disposable trash that can be recycled or destroyed at any time.

"I don't need you as a living just to serve me as your lord though~," Pope Kenan Light said.

Though he is no longer a Pope, he is not regarded as a Devil by all living beings on this planet. The priests who were left hopeless and trembling on the ground were terrified by what he had just said. They couldn't believe what they were hearing. The same black aura that had devoured the rest of their comrades reappeared. This time it's more distinct and larger, and it's attached to Kenan Light's body like tentacles as part of his body.

Kenan Light licks his lips as he looks at these living things; the strong energy of life in them makes him extremely hungry. Chaos Energy is not an evil energy like the darkness; rather, it is a mix of good and evil. It possessed the ability to create and destroy at the same time.

However, the chaos energy emitted by the World Eater is tainted. It increases the evil attribute it already possesses, and this greater increase is the desire for life, transforming it into an energy that loves to eat everything alive.

"You guys look... Immensely delicious~ it is very hard to hold back this Lord's hunger." Kenan Light said as the back aura around him got stronger and started to devour every living being in the vicinity.

The black aura pervades the entire domain of the Templar Temple. It consumes all types of energy that existed in the area where humans existed, including the fertility of the land, trees, and even the gra.s.s on the side. The greedy black aura emanating from Kenan Light devoured everything. It also significantly boosts his strength and keeps his hunger at bay.

h.e.l.l descended on human territory, sucking up all energy in the area with the black aura of Kenan Light.

Kenan Light laughs maniacally in the midst of the emptiness of the land. His ruby-red eyes glowed with delight and satisfaction. The more his powers grow, the happier he becomes that he agreed with the monster who gave him this power. Unbeknownst to him, the hunger that comes with power was insatiable. If he stops eating, he will mutate into a brainless monster capable of devouring the entire star.

Hahahaha~

"Everything in this world should satisfy me. They should at least keep my hunger at bay. But it's a bit boring to see no one following my orders. This lord should still have some servants to order." Kenan Light said

He spreads his black aura once more, this time lingering on the dead bodies whose lives he sucked out. Kenan Light used the dark elements in the area to revive all the corpses as undead beings, chanting a few words that sounded gibberish to anyone else's ears.

Hundreds of undead had crawled up from their eternal slumber and stood before Kenan Light like faithful soldiers. Kenan Light created an undead army, even reconstructing Cardinal Lemuel Elon's body and making him his General. Unlike the original Lemuel Elon, this Undead General is merely a puppet who follows the orders of its king.

"This general greets the lord!" Undead General Lemuel Elon said.

Kenan Light waves his hand and the whole territory of the former Templar Temple was destroyed and was replaced by a black castle and a throne. He sat on his throne and looked at his undead soldiers kneeling before him.

"Conquer the living and kill everything. Gather all the energy that you can find and present everything to this Lord!" Kenan Light commanded.

As the sole Undead General, Lemuel Elon is the only Undead who is capable of speaking. He saluted his king with a dazed look and said, "As you wish, my Lord!"

Undead troops began killing every human being in the vicinity under the leaders.h.i.+p and command of Undead General Lemuel. The first to be struck are the humans who gathered with the intention of destroying the Templar Temple. They didn't expect the human faction's strongest territory to be destroyed by its leader, who turned into a devil with an insatiable hunger.
