Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 459: Only for the salvation of all living beings
The jailbreak team formed by Chenxi brushed shoulders with the company's top management. The journey was extremely smooth, and they did not encounter any obstruction from the Church of Embers until they arrived at the secret base.

At this time, the Pope was impatiently advancing his plan to the next step and had no energy to pay attention to the few foreigners who sneaked out of the Holy Metropolis Cathedral.

"what is this?"

After entering the house, Coyote Twelve's attention was quickly attracted by the huge crystal in the house. This crystal made of special material was reflecting the scene below the cathedral.

This is a double-edged question.

Because he soon became even more curious about the "object" sitting on the golden throne.

"The Burnt Pope."

Chenxi was not surprised by this. "This is the result of forcibly infusing the power of the Sun King into a human body."

The humanoid figure on the golden throne had long been unrecognizable, and its original outline could no longer be seen, but the strange thing was that under its completely charred skin, a golden glow overflowed.

The same light flickered in the empty eye sockets where the eyeballs had been lost and in the mouth that was open in extreme pain.

"You mean he was burned to death?"

The third prince asked in astonishment.

The current Pope of the Church of Embers is an ambitious man who has almost realized all his plans. However, it would be a bit of black humor if he burned himself to death before he achieved his great feat.

"I hope so, but alas, he's still alive."

Chenxi's face was solemn, and the golden glow beneath his charred skin was the scorching sun energy that had not yet dissipated from the Pope. Although his body was completely burned during the infusion process, he also took the energy left by the Sun King for himself.

The current Pope has become a creature beyond their understanding.

A body of pure energy.

Moreover, this is not good news for them.

"The Pope tampered with the prophecy of the Sun King. The one who should have ascended the Golden Throne was the person chosen by the Sun King, that is, Duan Mingyuan."

If the person sitting on the Golden Throne was Duan Mingyuan, the spontaneous combustion accident would not have happened. However, the current Pope was unwilling to acknowledge the identity of a heretic in any case.

"……How did you know?"

The third prince was so shocked by this sudden secret that he was stunned for a long time, but when he thought about it carefully, he suddenly remembered that there were signs as early as when Jin Li visited Blue Star for the first time.

Duan Mingyuan has a natural affinity for the energy of the scorching sun, and Black Mass, the preacher on the baptismal ship, even regards him as the Sun King himself.

"This is a brief message from the Land of Eternal Night, but now is not the time to talk about it. We must arrange the summoning ceremony as soon as possible to open a passage between the two planes."

Chenxi spoke in an urgent tone. Right now, the only person who could stop the Pope was Duan Mingyuan. The Pope had foreseen this and had tampered with some of the contents in "Genesis". He also used the Witch of Darkness to lead him to the land of eternal night.

"The Pope's real purpose is to seal Duan Mingyuan and the Void Demon together in the Land of Eternal Night."

In order to open up the connection between the two planes, someone must be in the real plane to guide them. They must rearrange a summoning array in the holy city.

They are racing against time and against the Pope who has completed his transformation.

The unknown made Chenxi extremely terrified. She didn't know what methods the current Pope could use.

The Pope had tried desperately to gain access to the power of the Golden Throne, and now, he had realized his long-cherished wish.

On the other side of the crystal, the company's top executives had recovered from their initial shock, and some began to question the church's inquisitor, "What does this mean?" The "object" on the golden throne looked dead.

"Take a closer look. This is who we are now."

He was responded to by a majestic tone, and in an instant, the scene around people changed, and shadows of nothingness were reflected on their left and right, allowing them to see the stars up close - this was the star region where the Holy City was located, and the flames of war almost ignited the entire star region.

"We were caught in a fight for our own interests and became puppets of the devil. Over the past few years, I have been reflecting on why Universal has fallen to the point where it is today."

"If you are here to hold someone accountable, I advise you to save your breath."

There was an immediate counterattack from the crowd.

The church's sermons did not apply to them, and in terms of administrative level, everyone present was equal to the Pope.

What's more, everyone who knows the inside story knows that the Church of Embers has no right to accuse others.

The witch hunt has been going on for several centuries. Universal Corporation has invested a large amount of war funds and consumed a lot of manpower and material resources. In the process of encircling and suppressing wizards, many senior department heads have been assassinated. Even if we put all this aside, the strategy of the Church of Embers, which would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go, has caused the company's reputation to plummet in many star regions.

The Semitic people took advantage of this opportunity to develop rapidly.

The Pope ignored the objections and continued to speak, "The answer is that we have forgotten the importance of working together over the long years. It was this that humans relied on to resist the invasion of the void demons."

"That's just the history of the Embers Empire."

Obviously, not everyone is a follower of the Sun King, and they naturally do not have to accept the history recorded in Genesis.

"Everything that is going to happen today is part of history."

The company's top executives wanted to say something else, but all the mocking words were stuck in their throats.

The "constellations" surrounding them suddenly changed. In a flash, dazzling light enveloped everything. Under the light that swept across the entire star region, all war machines stopped working, and those people who had been killing each other for different positions and hatred seemed to suddenly "wake up".

The Pope just watched it all calmly.

His body was bound to the golden throne, but he also gained a wider vision.

Now he is standing in another dimension, observing everything that is happening in this star region, and all the hard work left by the predecessors of the Embers Empire have become tools in his hands.

Using them is as easy as bending down and picking up a carpenter's hammer.

Therefore, he did not get angry at the rebuttal and ridicule from the company's top management, nor would he punish them.

Of course, his will does not require their approval.

The gods can do whatever they want.

And now, what he has to do is to unify those fragmented wills and positions into one will and one thought.

Let this star region only hear the same voice.

——His voice.

This is the way to salvation.
