Popular science says oxygen is poisonous, and the whole internet scolds me for being sick

It is clear that the Pope could have completely annihilated the Albi Crusade.

A single divine spell could wipe out the entire rebel army.

Throughout history, some popes have ascended to the papacy because of their great power.

But no matter how powerful you are.

Anyone who can sit in the position of Pope can become a Radiant Life Form.

All popes have been radiant beings, without exception.

Even if you weren't a Radiant Lifeform before becoming Pope.

After you become the Pope, you can become a radiant life form.

Because, on the surface, the Pope, as the absolute strongest figure, is needed to maintain the facade of the Holy See.

The Pope can only be a radiant life form.

If not, others will think that your Holy See is beginning to decline.

Why is it that every pope is able to become a radiant life form?

Because after you become the Pope, you will conduct secret rituals in the shadows.

I'll let you inherit a few things: the Fisherman's Ring, the Papal Scepter, and the Triple Crown.

Each one has been owned by a successive pope.

These are all sacred artifacts that have been accumulated and blessed over thousands of years.

It can be said to represent the Pope's identity and divinity.

You can tell it's the Pope just by seeing someone dressed like that.

Each item is not merely decoration, but a condensation of a thousand years of faith.

Each pope can forcefully increase your strength to the level of a Radiant Life Form!
The current Pope Gregory X looked at the holy magician Saint Louis who flew out from the Albi Crusade.

Saint Louis, dressed in a simple white robe.

He looks like an old man you might see in the countryside.

He had a full white beard and a serious expression typical of the elderly.

However, his spotless white robe made him stand out from the crowd.

Because a normal person's robe wouldn't be so spotless.

"You must be the Pope of the Holy See now." Saint Louis smiled, his face full of wrinkles, all traces of time.

If no one tells anyone, no one will know about this old man flying in the air.

He is almost three hundred years old.

In fact, there aren't many people in the Vatican who live such long lives.

Why is Saint Louis a legendary cardinal?
Because Saint Louis was the only person in the Papacy who came from a family of magicians to enter the Church.

And he almost became pope.

Theoretically speaking, Saint Louis simultaneously mastered the extraordinary path unique to the Papacy—the Blade of Thought.

Saint Louis himself was also an extremely powerful magician.

They also possess extremely high skill in magic circles.

It is already quite difficult for ordinary people to achieve anything on any path.

The white-bearded old man, Saint Louis, standing before us now has achieved extraordinary success in all three paths.

Furthermore, it broke through to become a Radiant Life Form.

In this era, Radiant Lifeforms are still very rare.

Each and every one of them is a strategic figure.

It is equivalent to a nuclear bomb in the 21st century.

“If I hadn’t gone into seclusion back then, your position would be mine now,” Saint Louis said with a smile, stating this fact.

To Gregory X, this was a complete provocation by Saint Louis.

But the other party was clearly stating the facts.

A cardinal, through his own abilities, broke through to the level of a Radiant Life Form.

According to normal procedures, he would naturally be the next pope.

But then a voice interrupted Saint Louis's voice.

The presiding judge of the Inquisition, who specializes in dealing with heresy.

Regarding matters handled outside.

The presiding judge was more extreme and more radical.

“Your Holiness, there’s no need to waste words with this heretic.” The judge looked at Saint Louis as if he were looking at a sin.

He wished he could immediately tie the person in front of him to the execution post and put him to death. Saint Louis looked at the chief judge standing beside the Pope, dressed in a black and gold robe.

“You must be the presiding judge of this generation’s Inquisition.” Saint Louis recognized the man in the black and gold robe at a glance.

"You've actually sent two Saint-level experts. It seems you take me very seriously." Saint Louis nodded.

"However, you underestimate me, Saint Louis." A barely perceptible ruthlessness flashed in Saint Louis's eyes.

A powerful holy light erupted from the Pope.

It was nighttime.

The Pope, like the sun in broad daylight, made everyone around him mistakenly believe it was daytime.

"What's going on? Why is it suddenly light out?"

"Isn't it late at night now?"

"What's going on? What's the situation outside?"

The Pope is like the sun, inspiring a desire to kneel and submit.

Some of the Albi Crusaders saw the sun suddenly appear in the night.

I think this is a miracle.

"Purify under the Holy Light." The Pope's voice was majestic and grand, as if it contained the truth.

Bathed in such holy light.

All heresy will be purified, turning into a wisp of smoke in the world.

Only the Albi Crusade was involved.

They saw the Pope's holy light in an instant.

It began to dissipate like smoke and dust, decomposing as it did.

This is a large-scale attack.

Even the surrounding trees began to decompose.

The closer you are to the Pope, the faster the decomposition.

This move is called Purification.

Purify everything.

"Return to the glory of the Lord," the Pope said mercilessly.

Everything around them disintegrated under the holy light.

The Albi Crusades, as long as they are bathed in the Holy Light.

Whether it was military equipment, wagons, or other supplies, they all turned to dust under the holy light.

Just as the Holy Light was about to purify all the Albi Crusaders.

Saint Louis intervened to stop everything the Pope was doing.

"How dare you, as the Pope, commit such a treasonous act?"

"Aren't you afraid of divine punishment?" Saint Louis looked at the vast army and the flowers and trees.

They were completely disintegrated under the Holy Light.

Saint Louis was furious.

The Pope simply remarked, "Isn't your aid to the rebels the same thing I did?"

However, just as Saint Louis was about to make his move...

A black and gold figure appeared before them; it was the presiding judge.

"Don't forget I'm here." The judge was radiating a strong black aura.

They were completely unharmed under this purifying holy light.

Saint Louis then realized that the other side had come not only to kill him.

There are also the manpower to eliminate the Albi Crusade!
This can be described as an open strategy.

Didn't you want to help the rebels?

What will you do if I wipe out all the rebels?
Want to defend the rebels?
Saint Louis is now facing two powerful beings at the Radiance level.

They also had to protect the Albi Crusade.

Even Saint Louis couldn't do that.

The judge's mere interference with Saint Louis is preventing him from freeing up his hands.

"After His Holiness the Pope eliminates these heretics."

"It's your turn now." The presiding judge understood perfectly well that his task was to keep the other side occupied. (End of Chapter)
