Furan looked up at the three priests being escorted forward and continued:
"These three priests, while serving the False God, committed all manner of evils, maliciously framing residents loyal to the true god. Before the god, I hereby pronounce their deaths on behalf of the deity."
The 'Half-Dragon People' maintaining order below the stage heard these words and let out a collective cheer, raising their claws over their heads and waving them wildly.
These three priests were the last ones responsible for fabricating charges to drive those 'Half-Dragon People' out to 'The Place Abandoned by Gods'.
Many more priests had already died in the midday battle, torn to pieces by the furious 'Half-Dragon People'. These three were spared temporarily only because they surrendered relatively quickly.
Old Neil watched this scene from the side with a complex look in his eyes. He truly never imagined he would live to see the day he could witness the death of his enemies.
After being exiled to 'The Place Abandoned by Gods', his final desire was simply to survive a few more days. He harbored no thoughts of revenge, for the power brought by the divine water was not something a dying man like him could oppose.
He glanced at the sharp claws on his hands, never having imagined he could possess such power, even if the effects of the divine water granted by that divine envoy were somewhat different.
But in Old Neil's mind, this was the true divine water!
Along with the three escorted priests was a young man dressed in servant's clothing.
He was originally a servant to a priest, but many 'Half-Dragon People' knew him because he had helped them, bringing news from their families and granting them some preferential treatment.
With the guarantee of six 'Half-Dragon People', Furan agreed to let him drink the dragon transformation potion and become a 'Half-Dragon Person'.
"The False God stole the authority of my god and created an inferior divine water. This is the true divine water bestowed by my god. This is the real effect of divine water."
Furan explained to the people below the stage, capturing the attention of everyone present.
Eugene suddenly felt uneasy. His hand gripping the cane stiffened, nearly causing it to slip from his grasp. Beside him, Tols trembled, unable to speak.
Tols knew they no longer had any divine water, and from now on, they never would again. Meanwhile, their enemy now possessed divine water.
Previously, he hadn't fully realized how these 'Half-Dragon People' became this way, only instinctively believing that our divine water must be stronger than theirs.
But after witnessing this scene, Tols began to doubt himself. Was the god I previously believed in truly a False God? Am I really a priest serving a False God?
The perspective returned to the stage. Furan held a bowl, offering the dragon transformation potion to the trembling young man. He raised the bowl and drank it all in one go.
He gripped the bowl tightly, not letting it fall.
Simultaneously, scales began to grow on his body, and claws gradually manifested on his hands.
As the claws extended, they actually pierced right through the bowl he was holding, creating several holes.
When he opened his eyes, he could see the residents below the stage standing dumbfounded, as if all shocked by this spectacle.
"Kill them all."
Furan commanded. The newly transformed 'Half-Dragon Person' gladly accepted Furan's order. His two claws stabbed forward, one after the other, directly piercing the priests' hearts, bringing forth a pool of blood.
Even as blood flowed across the stage, the audience below remained unmoved, still immersed in the shock the divine water had just delivered.
They had questioned how those 'Half-Dragon People' came to be, but almost no one truly attributed this matter to divine water as well.
Because divine water was sacred and inviolable in the hearts of the Monsa people, the true thing that granted them power.
If divine water, priests, and the deity were placed side by side, the Monsa people would absolutely choose divine water and discard the other two.
And now, you're telling me those 'Half-Dragon People' were also transformed using a similar 'divine water'.
This sent a chill down the spines of the people present, leaving them dazed for a long time without regaining their composure.
At this moment, Furan continued by dropping another bombshell.
"My god has already reclaimed His authority. Now, the only person who can produce divine water is me."
What she said was indeed true, for she had long learned from Angmar that the priests could no longer produce divine water.
Moreover, she had already driven out the original owner. Even if the High Priest returned now, he would have no way to make divine water.
Eugene seemed to remember something, suddenly turning his head to look at Tols, his eyes filled with inquiry.
Tols could only shake his head helplessly at him, not uttering a single word.
The burning flame in Eugene's heart was abruptly extinguished by a bucket of cold water.
He knew the priests were about to become a thing of the past. How could priests who no longer had divine water even be called priests?
A bitter smile appeared on his face, as if he had lost all strength. His cane naturally fell, hitting another person's thigh, then dropped through a gap.
The other residents were also looking around, hoping to hear a priest refute this. However, to their disappointment, there was no sound at all.
"Very well. Next, let us invite Angmar, this person who has returned to the right path before the god, to speak about the past crimes of the priests and the calamity Monsa is about to face."
Someone the people present never expected—Priest Angmar—walked onto the stage. His steps were unsteady, one deep, one shallow, and his face bore many fresh wounds.
She had long since struck a deal with Priest Angmar, having him stand on stage for her. In exchange, she would let those surrendered priests live.
Of course, she picked three with grievances to kill, and Angmar had no objections.
The other party had truly become disheartened with his own deity. For such a major event, his god actually only communicated through Angmar's dreams. Therefore, he immediately switched sides on the spot.
Afterwards, Furan learned from the Lord of Radiance that the deity Angmar originally believed in had various considerations for acting this way.
First, the other party might be overwhelmed, with too many things demanding attention, unable to attend to this side. Second, the other party might have already invested power into this dream and couldn't invest more.
Therefore, when Furan first arrived here, the other deity only instructed Angmar to hunt her down, with no other actions at all.
This led to Angmar immediately proposing to help after Furan promised to assist Monsa in dealing with the calamity.
Angmar's move proved to be a great help to Furan. On stage, he slightly embellished the events that had occurred, explaining clearly from the High Priest's betrayal to how he would transform into a dragon to destroy Monsa. He just didn't elaborate much on whether it was a 'False God'.
If Furan's demonstration of the dragon transformation potion made it impossible for these people to overthrow her rule, then Angmar's endorsement on stage made the people truly begin to believe in the god she represented.
Previously, her claim of being a divine envoy was just a title. Now, this title had gained real significance.
The book beneath Furan's robes grew increasingly hot, as if undergoing some wondrous change.
Thus, Furan now only needed to deal with that dragon to conclude this trial.
