Chapter 1452: The Stolen Country's Posthumous Child, The New Caliph_4

But Byron saw this, and just chuckled.

Resonating with the [Myriad Wings Angel], he gently manipulated the Faith Anchor Chain linked to himself, and the Mind Wish Power accumulated above the Star Moon Empire poured down.

The infusion of power was so evident that even the Faith Anchor Chain was revealed in the air.

Vitality was reinjected into Muhammad II’s body, even helping him recover his youthful state.

Grasping twin swords, he forcefully blocked Bayezid’s lethal strike and even pushed him back half a step.

“Is this… a blessing from the Holy Spirit?!”

Now it was Bayezid’s turn to be caught off guard.

Surrounded by Church Judges and devout believers, even if blind denial was attempted, no one dared to claim this was not a power from the Holy Spirit.

“Could it be that the Old Sultan [Lord of Two Seas and Two Lands] is the Holy Spirit’s recognized ruler of the mortal world?”

“A miracle! The Holy Spirit has truly manifested.”

“The Holy Spirit wants to punish the law-breaking Church Judge, and the rebellious Eldest Prince who committed patricide!”

Seeing doubt appear in the eyes of those around, even his own people during the chaotic battle.

Bayezid, in a state of panic, couldn’t bother to ponder why the Holy Spirit, worshiped for thousands of years yet dormant, suddenly manifested at this crucial moment.

He mimicked his father, calling upon the Holy Emblem:

“Great Holy Spirit, do not believe the nonsense from this old man.

Devout believers do not usurp church laws, do not self-proclaim as Caliph, do not ignore your Follower Saint Byron.

Even if he campaigns East and West to unify the Holy Spirit Sect world, it is not for you, but for himself!

This is blasphemy!

I am your most loyal Sultan!”

A Faith Anchor Chain similarly rose above his head.

The Holy Spirit bestowed power upon him impartially.

Bayezid’s power surged instantly, suppressing his father once again.

His followers cheered aloud:

“It seems that Prince Bayezid is the one favored by the Holy Spirit.”

Muhammad II was so enraged he was near spitting blood.

He, a heroic ruler adept in both literature and warfare, from this “extreme pull” in front of him, realized someone was plotting against him.

The high ranks of the Church knew the creator was fracturing; as a Sultan, he too was aware.

Discovering even his God had no self-consciousness, unconsciously losing reverence for that sole God and naturally being less respectful to that so-called Holy Spirit Follower.

The occurrence of such faith feedback at this moment was likely due to the intervention of the self-aware Follower.

Moreover, the Fire Worship Empire didn’t send beauties early or late, but suddenly came seeking an alliance just after Saint Byron’s visit, which was evidently suspicious.

Muhammad II’s life had been too smooth before; he never thought others would dare to conspire against him.

As events progressed to this stage, if he couldn’t see the issue, he would be unworthy of his title [Lord of Two Seas and Two Lands].

Unfortunately, what could they do now?

Muhammad II looked at his foolishly brave son ahead with deep sorrow:

“To be or not to be, that is the question.”

Indeed, during normal times when the Star Moon Empire was powerful and politically stable, the faith Byron held didn’t play a significant role.

But at critical historical junctures, his faith might weigh only four pounds, yet could move a thousand.

Byron never engages in transactions that require his eagerness; even selling to others requires them to willingly count the money for him.

At this moment, the two Faith Anchor Chains were like water pipes; the firmer one’s faith and the lower one’s baseline, the more power they received.

The father and son had come to a point of irreconcilable conflict, unable to allow the other to survive; if they didn’t betray their faith, they would certainly lose their lives.

Thus, their inherent resistance towards church power began to quickly dissolve.

The previously weak Faith Anchor Chains of these two rulers immediately began to strengthen competitively.

The Eldest Prince’s speed far surpassed that of Muhammad II.

Like compradors, selling things that don’t belong to them most generously, magnanimously.

Even if all the land, resources, and all young and strong people were sold out without a hint of hesitation.

Having not secured the throne yet, Bayezid was equally indifferent about selling his family’s land.

While Muhammad II hesitated momentarily over the increasingly unrecoverable sunk costs, he fell behind in the arms race.

Stabbed through the kidney by a trident from the Eldest Prince, skewered like meat.

Meanwhile, the [Human Crown] atop Byron’s head also shone brightly.
