Chapter 1567: The church’s counterattack makes you show off
Empire, holy city.
In the Emerald Cathedral, high-level officials of the Holy See gathered together. Only candles were lit in the conference room, and the flickering firelight made everyone's faces look uncertain.
The church has been having a tough time lately.
Just after recovering from the "Evil God Invasion Incident", problems occurred frequently in dioceses across the mainland.
After the New Year, in just two months, six countries that mainly believed in the Goddess of Light had coups or uprisings. King powers were changed, churches were burned, and believers were even massacred. The impact was very bad.
The church's response was not slow, and it sent the old captain Richard to lead two thousand elite Knights Templar to the Balganas Kingdom, the third kingdom where riots occurred.
But before they entered the Kingdom of Balgana, they were ambushed by a group of mysterious people. They suffered heavy losses and were forced to turn back.
"Everyone, cough cough... This is by no means as simple as a normal change of kingship. There is a mastermind behind the fall of the Six Kingdoms, cough cough, cough cough."
Captain Richard was sitting at the long table, his face was pale and he kept coughing.
His condition was very poor. His right arm was wrapped in a bandage. The smell of blood in the wound was pungent, and there was a faint black air. It was some kind of vicious curse that even the Pope could not cure quickly.
The Pope, the presiding judge, Saint Kate, Archbishop Saint Timo and other high-level officials were also sitting in the conference room, all with solemn expressions.
Gonzalez, who has become a high-level legendary powerhouse, looked at the seriously injured teacher with an angry look on his face, slapped the table and said:
"Balgana, Mangrove Sea, Baoyu Kingdom... In just over two months, the six kingdoms have fallen, and they are all dioceses with strong faith. This is obviously targeting the church. This matter must not be left alone!"
“But many people in the Six Nations Alliance publicly claimed that they had been persecuted by the church before, and also published a lot of dirty information about the church, saying that the church harbored filth and evil and was a cult...
Nowadays, external public opinion is not friendly to us. If we send troops directly from the empire and press the border, it will easily cause a large-scale war. In the context of a camp war, we will be under great pressure if we do this. "
Archbishop Timo said worriedly.
Under normal circumstances, the church does not interfere much with the change of secular kingship.
Even if a coup or uprising occurs in a country, the Holy See headquarters will usually not be involved. At most, people from the diocesan branches will intervene.
"The key is that the Six Nations is not weak."
The presiding judge of the Inquisition was wearing a black priest's attire, his face was shrouded in shadow, his eyes were sharp, and his voice was a bit cold, "Unless we come out in force, we may not be able to get any benefits."
The Six Nations Alliance officially has three demigods, seven high-level legendary powerhouses, more than 20 ordinary legendary powerhouses, and an army of hundreds of thousands of extraordinary beings. The combined strength is almost comparable to that of an empire.
You know, Faloran is not that strong, excluding the Night Girl.
What's more, there are rumors that there is a mysterious true god-level powerhouse behind the Six Nations Alliance.
The old pope stretched out his hand and rubbed the center of his brow. With a tired look on his face, he looked at the saint and said:
"Kate, what do you think we should do?"
Arturia looked through the intelligence information sent from the Six Kingdoms Diocese. The expression on that beautiful face became colder and colder, with murderous intent revealed, like an unsheathed divine sword.
She quickly read the information, stood up directly, and said in a cold voice:
"Let me go and let the Knights Templar, Knights of the Holy Grail, and Knights of Holy Light all dispatch, and start cleaning the Baoyu Kingdom first!"
Her decisive words shocked everyone.
The presiding judge, who had never liked her very much, was surprised. This usually gentle and kind-hearted saint turned out to be strong and iron-blooded at critical moments.
She only used the word "clean", so you can imagine what she was going to do.
Archbishop Timo looked surprised and hesitated, saying:
"Holy girl, doing this may lead to..."
Arturia raised her hand to interrupt the old bishop's words, with a cold look on her beautiful face, and said:
"I don't care about the change of kingship and resistance to tyranny. I am even happy to see such things happen. Even if the new ruler suppresses the church and rejects the belief in the goddess, I will not interfere too much.
But these people even kill ordinary believers. Even if they are willing to give up their faith, they still want to be executed.
In the Baoyu Kingdom, the white knight Alfonso II killed 130,000 ordinary believers in the royal city in one fell swoop. It was so majestic!
Is the church rotten? Have they been persecuted by the church?
Maybe, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, but it's impossible. Everyone of the hundreds of thousands of ordinary believers has stepped on the white knight Alfonso, right? "
When mentioning the brutal killing of hundreds of thousands of ordinary believers, the faces of the old pope, Archbishop Timo, Captain Gang and others all looked ugly.
In the church's more than a thousand years of history, such a tragedy has never happened several times.
This is no longer simply about suppressing the church and rejecting faith, but it is about digging up its roots and killing them all.
"But the six countries have united, and it is difficult to suppress them. Unless decapitation tactics are implemented, a large-scale war will be launched." Archbishop Timo said solemnly.
At this juncture, the human camp is engaged in a large-scale civil war. No matter whether the church loses or wins in the end, the dark camp will laugh.
"Kate, you should know what it means if the church chooses to invade the country with an army."
The old pope said seriously.
"of course."
Arturia's eyes were filled with golden divine flames, and her golden pupils were full of majesty. She said resolutely, "I will never compromise with such an executioner! Giving in will only encourage their arrogance and make them do more bloody and cruel things." Come!"
The Six Kingdoms Rebellion did not affect the church much at first, but later became more and more excessive.
They drove away believers, smashed idols, killed clergy, burned churches and temples, and later killed even unarmed ordinary believers.
This touches Artoria's bottom line.
"Ahem... I suspect there is collusion between the Six Nations Alliance and the dark camp. There are so many powerful people suddenly appearing, and they may have the support of big figures in the dark camp!"
Old regiment leader Richard was covering his injured arm, his face was pale and his tone was cold.
"But we don't have any evidence." The chief judge of the Inquisition said.
"They all said they got the opportunity from the ancient mysterious realm, and emphasized that they were resisting tyranny and purging cultists."
"Opportunities obtained from the ancient mysterious realm? Huh, is it so easy to obtain the divine power in the ancient mysterious realm? When did the most dangerous secret realm with the highest death rate become a paradise for careerists?"
"There is no evidence that White Knight Alfonso and others are colluding with the dark camp. Our unilateral suspicion is useless, let alone a reason to send troops."
"Regardless of whether there is a reason to send troops or not, I will go and ask His Majesty the Pope for permission!"
Arturia's attitude is very firm. Even if there is no evidence that the six countries are colluding with the dark camp, she will go to the Baoyu Kingdom and kill the white knight Alfonso.
Trapping and killing ordinary believers was beyond the limit of her endurance.
She is a saint in this world, but in the moon world, she is the king of knights.
In order to protect Britain, she had her hands covered with blood. She would never hesitate when raising or lowering the knife, let alone bow to evil forces.
"Go even if you risk a large-scale civil war?"
The Pope looked at the Saint and said seriously.
"Yes!"
There was no wavering on Artoria's face, and she said coldly and resolutely, "In my eyes, White Knight Alfonso is already a dead man.
I want to see who gave them the courage to do such a thing! "
Head Gang: "..."
It turns out that the saint is so strong.
Old leader Richard: "..."
I really didn't realize that the saint was so strong at heart.
Archbishop Timo: "..."
This is completely different from the clever, sensible, gentle and kind-hearted Kate in his impression.
But it seems to be a good thing...
After Arturia said those words, Captain Oka, Old Captain Richard, the presiding judge, and Archbishop Timo all looked at the old pope on the throne.
"Forget it, let's take action."
The old pope stood up, holding the scepter in his hand, his cloudy eyes suddenly lit up with incandescent fire, and a majestic holy power was released, so powerful that the conference room almost instantly turned into a sea of light!
The divine fire burned, getting stronger and stronger, igniting the old man's entire body almost instantly.
The old pope was bathed in divine fire, and his wrinkled face looked extremely majestic. In his body, a vague polygonal prism crystal solidified instantly, exuding immortal brilliance!
The divine power was so majestic that it radiated outward in an instant, causing the sky and the earth to lose their color, turning black and white.
Then, a slightly older voice was heard throughout the Holy City and beyond.
"I, the Eleventh Pope of the Church of the Goddess of Light, Gregory II, am officially anointed today as the patron saint of the Holy See and the god of discipline!
All believers bear witness that I respect the goddess of light as my main god and will never betray you! "
The loud voice almost resounded throughout the world and reached the ears of every resident of the Holy City. For a moment, everyone was shocked and shocked.
In the direction of the palace, Emperor Ugo suddenly raised his head, left all the ministers behind, called a carriage, and rushed to the Emerald Cathedral.
In the conference room, the divine fire on the Pope's body disappeared, and the sea of holy power that filled the void slowly dispersed.
He looked at Saint Kate with some relief and said:
"You can't leave the city. It's too dangerous. You'd better let me, an old guy, take a trip."
"This……"
Arturia looked a little hesitant.
"Don't worry, the church can stand for thousands of years and is not as fragile as you think."
The old pope looked calm and looked at the door.
"Da da da……"
Neat footsteps sounded, and each sound seemed to step on people's hearts.
Six people came in.
The leader is a middle-aged man with half-white hair. He is blind in one eye and has a plain appearance. He is wearing a washed white cloth and has gray shackles of faith on his hands. He looks like a prisoner or an ascetic.
He is very powerful, with a strong aura of divine power, comparable to Emperor Ugo.
There is also a thin, bald young man, who is also a demigod. He is wrapped in a gray holy cloth, his eyes are vicissitudes of life, and he is carrying a ten-foot-long spear on his back.
The spear is golden in color, engraved with mysterious runes, with precious light flowing all over it, giving it an aura of immortality. The Spear of Judgment is an artifact and a medium artifact.
The other four people, three men and one woman, all wore the most ordinary paladin leather armor without medal brooches, but each of them was a high-level legendary powerhouse.
After these six people came in, they neither said hello to the Pope nor paid attention to anyone. They just stood aside without saying a word.
Although they have an indifferent attitude, there is no doubt that they are all members of the church, and they are six saints!
Artoria's beautiful eyes opened slightly, and she was a little surprised to see these six saints.
"Let's go."
The Pope strode out of the church with his scepter in hand.
The six of them glanced at Saint Kate, nodded, and followed closely.
They had just heard the saint's words and were satisfied with her uncompromising attitude.
"I'm going to go there too."
The presiding judge also stood up and picked up the black scepter. He stared at the saint, and his eyes under the hood ignited with platinum divine flames. "Your Highness Kate, you will be in charge of the Holy City headquarters. Please do not go out. Be wary of any suspicious people around you.
If you are killed, the church’s thousand-year inheritance will be destroyed. "
Arturia felt a little confused. She was stunned for a moment and nodded seriously.
The first religion in Saigon mainland is indeed not simple, it has a very deep foundation.
"Archbishop Timo, do you know these people?" she asked curiously.
"Some of them I know, some of them I don't know."
Archbishop Timo looked calm and explained, "They are not from St. Joan, and they don't care about worldly fame and fortune. They are distributed in dioceses all over the world. Some people never show up. The Pope doesn't even know they have this kind of strength."
These six people are just ordinary legendary powerhouses on the surface, and some are even third-level and fourth-level extraordinary people. Even the Pope doesn't recognize a few of them.
These people did not show up during the last evil god invasion because the incident happened suddenly and they were not in the empire, so naturally they could not provide support.
There have been such saints throughout the ages, dedicated to ascetic cultivation and low-key.
In fact, if it hadn't been for the big fuss this time and the extreme actions of the Six Nations Alliance, these people might not have been willing to reveal their strength and come to the Holy See headquarters.
.........
The church took action.
120,000 elite paladins and six saints, led by the chief judge of the Inquisition and the newly-consecrated pope, attacked the Baoyu Kingdom.
At the same time, the St. Joan Empire also publicly supported the Holy See's actions. Emperor Ugo sent two high-level legendary powerhouses, Duke Savage and Duke Giant Shield, leading a Storm Legion of 40,000 people to accompany them.
Suddenly, there was an uproar across the mainland.
"It's really a fight. Aren't you afraid of provoking a civil war?"
"Haha, the Six Nations Alliance has gone too far and even killed ordinary believers. Isn't this a clear plan to dig up the roots of the church?"
"I think the fall of the six countries this time was not simple. Just as promised, coups and uprisings came one after another, and they all succeeded in a short period of time."
"What happened to the dark camp?"
"Who knows, there will be something good to watch now."
Public opinion in various countries is in an uproar.
Many strong men from the dark camp cast their gazes.
.........
Nebula Secret Realm.
Ren was sitting cross-legged on the platform of worshiping the generals, practicing the "Demon Summoning Sutra" and "The Supreme Forgetting Love". His left eye was bright and cold and ruthless, like the way of heaven, and his right eye was bloody and coquettish, full of violence and murderous intent.
Half of the divine light flows in his spiritual consciousness, and half of the demonic energy surges into the sky.
"I am Heaven, Heaven is me, what I say is law, what I do is law, the laws of heaven and earth are determined by me alone!"
Taishang Ren's white hair is disheveled, and his eyes are indifferent, as if he is the incarnation of heaven, overlooking the eternal years, transcending the six realms of reincarnation.
"Fuck you! I'm still the King of Heaven! The devil swallows up the sky and washes the world with blood. I am the only one who dominates!"
The real demon Ren's long hair was dancing wildly, and his whole body was surrounded by demonic flames, which was extremely evil.
He summoned an ancient evil demon with overwhelming demonic energy. The troll opened its mouth as if it wanted to swallow everything, and the entire spiritual world went dark.
"An ant also dares to swallow the sky? It's ridiculous, the supreme devil-slaying style!"
Supreme Renn tapped his finger, and the starlight shot out. The Big Dipper was arranged in the void, and the radiance gathered and turned into a beam of destruction that penetrated the troll's chest!
A god and a demon fight, stirring up the entire spiritual world.
"Are you two finished fighting?"
Ren's true consciousness suddenly stood up from the side, and the golden holy power of the sun surged from his body, breaking away from the star chain and shattering the demonic seal!
"You can actually break free from my real demon seal?" Real Demon Ren was stunned.
Isn't the main body just a waste?
Supreme Ren's eyes were cold and he said ruthlessly: "It seems that you are hiding your clumsiness and are not that useless."
"Humph."
Ren snorted and rubbed his palms, "I just wanted to see what you are capable of. In the end, you let me down. But that's it. No wonder the previous gods and demon consciousnesses were vulnerable to Guang Chuang and An Xie. hit."
"Cowardly and ridiculous body, what are you talking about?" True Demon Ren roared.
Supreme Ren's brows furrowed and he suddenly felt something bad.
"It's nothing. I have something to do now and I don't have time to watch you two noobs pecking each other."
Ren's expression was indifferent, and he moved his hands very fast. One hand turned into a golden bird, and the other hand turned into a black fish. The true fire of the sun and the water of the moon surged in the air. The two completely opposite original powers were intertwined, with complex changes and astonishing power.
The next moment, he waved his hands, and his robes were like clouds hanging from the sky. The golden blazing sun bird and the pitch-black yin fish combined, turning into a Kunpeng that fluttered its wings into the blue sky, carrying the cloud energy, carrying the sky, shaking the heaven and the earth.
"The great yin and yang, the infinite taiyi."
Bang! !
Kunpeng carried the rich yin and yang energy and hit the real demon Ren, blasting him together with the fierce magic phase. The ultimate lunar holy power collided with the power of the sun, shattering everything and evolving into chaos.
True Demon Wren, died!
Ren said with a bit of disdain: "You are so awesome, but this is the result?"
Taishang Ren was slightly startled. He connected his fingers, and the stars shone brightly, trying to condense into an array.
But before he could defend himself, Ren stepped on the sole of his foot, divided the yin and yang, teleported, and time stopped for a moment.
Without saying a word, the Tai Chi gods and demons in his body shone brightly, the projections of gods and demons were superimposed, and he waved the Sun Emperor Fist.
Bang! !
The divine ban was triggered, with ten times the combat power, the Emperor's Fist shattered the star power barrier with a radiance hotter than the scorching sun, and exploded the head of Supreme Ren En!
The brilliance surges, and the power of the fist shakes the entire spiritual world, extremely domineering.
Ren kept pumping his fist and snorted coldly:
"Are you the god? Bah! How dare you brag? Don't you know that labor and management hate other people showing off in front of me?"
Supreme Renn and True Demon Renn, I don’t know if they were influenced by the style of the Tomb of Gods world, but they kept making sarcastic remarks during the fights.
He watched for a long time and endured it for a long time.
Both divinity and demonic nature were destroyed, and on the stage of worship, Ren's eyes returned to normal.
Wisps of golden divinity and dark demonic nature intertwined together, gathered between his brows, and merged into his body. They were constantly tempered and nourished, and his soul gradually took on the aura of immortality.
Renn digested the divinity and demonic nature and stood up.
"Want to leave?"
The Demon Lord sat aside with his eyes closed, the thousands of star-like acupoints in his body flickering with light, surrounded by the projection of gods and demons.
"I'm going out temporarily, I have some personal matters to deal with."
"Don't wait too long, there are only four days left before our next fight."
"..."
Hearing this, Ren's face twitched.
He has been in seclusion in the Nebula Secret Realm for more than three months. He regularly exchanges resources with the Demon Lord, talks about Taoism, and has discussions every half a month.
It was said that it was a sparring match, but the Demon Lord was very ruthless. Every time they fought, his body would be blown apart, and once his soul was almost wiped out.
Fortunately, progress is indeed rapid.
"I'll be back on time."
Ren nodded, waved his hand, opened a space portal, stepped in, and disappeared.
This secret realm was opened by him. He is the master of the secret realm, so he can naturally enter and exit at will.
.........
White Feather City.
This is the closest city to the southern region of the mainland after coming out of the Nebula Secret Realm. It is quite prosperous, rich in cotton and various fruits, and has developed commerce. It is an independent city-state.
After Ren left the secret realm, he used the space gem to teleport directly here.
He disguised himself slightly, went to a luxury hotel, and got a room.
Night falls, the moon is bright and the stars are few.
A reddish gray butterfly danced gracefully, flew in from the window, and landed in front of the sofa.
