Chapter 623 - 418: Once Again
"Lord Lin Lang."
Upon seeing Lin Lang, Dean’s expression appeared somewhat unnatural.
After all, he knew very well what a dangerous character Lin Lang was.
If he could, he would prefer never to stand in opposition to Lin Lang!
However!
The current him was no longer the insignificant figure who ran around desperately trying to revive the Dark Church Court—
The Heart of the Demon God he took from Neon Country allowed him to successfully awaken two Ancient Demon Gods!
And under the protection of those two Ancient Demon Gods.
The long-dormant Dark Church Court soared to great heights!
Not only did their strength grow rapidly in a short time, but they also managed to suppress their greatest rival—the Bright Church Court!
And Dean, due to such meritorious achievements, was honored as the Great Elder of the Church!
So!
Dean believed that now he had the right and the capital to negotiate on equal footing with Lin Lang!
He then said:
"We are not here to destroy the Special Agent Bureau, but to cooperate with them. This is a win-win situation!"
Lin Lang naturally had no interest in hearing his nonsense.
It could be said that the Special Agent Bureau was a gift he gave to Rachel, and as long as Rachel was willing, she could play with it however she wished!
But since Rachel was unwilling, naturally, no one else could intervene!
Because ultimately, the Special Agent Bureau belonged under Lin Lang’s banner!
So Lin Lang immediately interrupted him and said:
"I am not interested in anything you have to say. I just want to tell you, don’t provoke the Special Agent Bureau! Unless you want the Dark Church Court you worked so hard to revive to disappear completely from this world!"
After saying that!
Lin Lang hung up the phone.
The movie had just begun.
...
"Damn it!"
Seeing Lin Lang not take the Dark Church Court seriously at all!
Dean had yet to speak.
One of the members of the Dark Church Court behind him couldn’t help but complain:
"Who does he think he is? He doesn’t know at all how powerful our Dark Church Court is!"
Hearing this!
Dean immediately scolded:
"Bold!"
The person was startled and hurriedly apologized:
"I was too impulsive and misspoke, please forgive me, Great Elder!"
Dean’s face was grim:
"Do you know what kind of person Lord Lin Lang is? Do you dare disrespect him behind his back?"
Though the Dark Church Court now had the backing of two Ancient Demon Gods!
But who is Lin Lang?
He is someone who can kill Ancient Gods with sheer force!
Which means Lin Lang is at least an Ancient God level powerhouse!
If the Dark Church Court becomes hostile to him, even if they ultimately win, it will surely come at a great cost!
And since the Dark Church Court has just risen, its foundation is unstable, naturally, it should avoid becoming enemies with such a person!
...
"So, all of you heard what Lord Lin Lang said, didn’t you?"
The Special Agent Bureau side.
An officer spoke to Dean and his group, his tone very firm!
Perhaps before, people from the Special Agent Bureau might hold some reverence toward these church forces.
But last time—
Pope Mitchell came here looking for trouble, only to be easily dealt with by Sunlight Qianyu!
Since then!
Members of the Special Agent Bureau realized deeply—
They have significantly underestimated Lin Lang!
Lin Lang’s true strength vastly exceeds their expectations!
Even Mitchell, who claimed to have inherited all of God’s power, is no match for Lin Lang!
So pray tell!
Is there anything in this world that could possibly threaten Lin Lang?
Since the Special Agent Bureau is backed by a deity like Lin Lang, they need only to be arrogant without fearing anyone!
Therefore!
This time, the attitude of the Special Agent Bureau remained firm from start to finish!
They completely disregarded the Dark Church Court!
Are you powerful enough to be mightier than Lin Lang?
...
Dean frowned.
Though he truly didn’t want to become enemies with Lin Lang, the Special Agent Bureau was indeed too important!
The Special Agent Bureau’s depths are not as simple as they seem on the surface!
At least, when it comes to research on supernatural abilities, the Special Agent Bureau possesses far more than the Dark Church Court!
Although the Dark Church Court has the backing of those two Ancient Demon Gods!
But ultimately, it’s not a power they can completely control!
They must prepare a backup plan!
"Director Rachel, cooperating with our Dark Church Court is mutually beneficial, and the Special Agent Bureau will gain much benefit. I hope you consider seriously!"
Dean said to Rachel.
"We have no reason to consider this, please leave!"
Rachel was very resolute!
Since Lin Lang had already endorsed the Special Agent Bureau!
Then the Special Agent Bureau must also stand firm!
We must never back down!
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a slap in Lin Lang’s face?
And hearing Rachel’s adamant refusal, Dean realized—
This matter won’t be resolved today at least!
He then said:
"We won’t disturb you further today, I hope Director Rachel will give it more thought. We will return next time!"
After speaking!
He left with the people from the Dark Church Court!
...
After Dean and his group left.
The leaders of the Special Agent Bureau couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief!
Someone exclaimed:
"Feels great! It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this satisfied!"
"Indeed, indeed!"
It’s noteworthy that before the apocalypse, the Special Agent Bureau had always been the power center of the Beautiful Country, representing the dignity of the Beautiful Country!
They were always high and mighty, revered by all!
But since the apocalypse!
The world has seen the emergence of superpowers, demons, Ancient Gods, and other things beyond their control!
Not only has the world been thrown into chaos!
Their authority has also been diminishing!
And this time, thanks to Lin Lang’s support, they finally felt fearless again!
Though.
Rachel’s face didn’t show much delight, but rather a lot of worry!
She thought:
"Judging by the Dark Church Court’s attitude, they won’t let this go!"
"If they come hard, do we keep troubling Lin Lang?"
"But doing so repeatedly, wouldn’t Lin Lang think I’m useless?"
"No! I can’t keep bothering him!"
Hence!
She immediately said:
"Even though Lin Lang is on our side, we cannot keep relying on him alone!"
"Only our own strength is the most reliable!"
"We must immediately accelerate the research of Godslayer 2! Make it ready for combat!"
"Even if Godslayer 2 can’t save us, at least Lin Lang would see our efforts!"
Upon hearing Rachel’s words!
Everyone said:
"Yes!"
...
The people from the Dark Church Court walked out of the Special Agent Bureau’s range.
One of them said to Dean:
"Great Elder, even if Lin Lang truly is formidable, they at the Special Agent Bureau are too arrogant!"
This remark immediately resonated:
"Exactly! Look at them, they totally disregard our Dark Church Court!"
"Hmph! It’s just Lin Lang. Let’s assume as a mere human, he possesses Ancient God-level powers! But we have two Ancient Demon Gods backing us! Are you saying we’re no match for him?"
"Exactly!"
...
Dean’s face also appeared grim:
"Lin Lang really is an immensely powerful adversary! If possible, I believe even the Ancient Demon Gods wouldn’t wish to be enemies with him!"
"But! We are determined to gain control over the Special Agent Bureau!"
"If Lin Lang is adamant on opposing us!"
"Then we have no choice but to confront him!"
