No one knows how much time passed before Charles' aura slowly subsided.
He then sat powerlessly among the ruins of the Temple, looking desolate.
Charles felt his mind go blank; he couldn't imagine that Thomas and the others would be so easily slain by Evil God Xiao Zheng and Hades joining forces. Nor could he have foreseen that the remaining 130,000 elite soldiers outside would also fall together.
This directly led to a severe depletion in the Bright Church's combat strength.
It could be described as a major setback.
Even if Charles ultimately leads the Bright Church to victory, it would take at least a hundred years to return to its peak, and that's only if they win.
If they are ultimately defeated, the Bright Church will be erased from existence!
Thinking about the potential demise of the Bright Church, Charles' expression became exceptionally fierce: "No! Absolutely not! I definitely cannot let the Church perish under my leadership!"
"I must win this final battle!"
