Sir, this is not how bad women are used.

The temple was silent, and as time passed, Chu Yan's doubts deepened.

Why don't you say anything? Be friendly or drive away, you have to show your attitude anyway.

When Chu Yan was going crazy, "Virtue" finally spoke, her rosy lips slightly opened, and it was as if time started to flow again, and the holy beauty who was frozen in time came back to life.

[Child who is under the protection of the witch, what do you want here? Why did you come to me instead of looking for the witch? ]

Her voice is melodious and ethereal, and sounds like a thousand different things, like a noble and majestic young goddess, or a loving and compassionate mature mother.

Chu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. At least now he could have a conversation.

At this time, he had somewhat forgotten why he came here. Having witnessed all kinds of strange things happening to the gods of the church in the Tower of Babel, Chu Yan had many more doubts about the gods of the church.

However, it is better to follow the pace as when I first met the witch.

"I came here to solve the problem of my companions' uncontrolled power. They are devout clergymen, but they have difficulty controlling the stability of their own power. They are out of control and abnormal, and even because of their own power, they become ferocious and attack their brothers and sisters in a state of confusion.

Lord Virtue, can you show me a solution?"

What do you think is the root cause of their loss of control?

Dear sister "Meide", if I knew the reason why I lost control, would I need to come to you? Don't answer questions with questions...

Chu Yan complained in his heart but did not dare to speak so arrogantly. He still had a pious look on his face, as if he was thinking along with the other party's questions.

After a long while, he said solemnly:

"I don't know. I asked the witches, but they didn't know either, because they don't have the concept of losing control of power."

[Yes, unless it is a contract that restrains the spirit, otherwise, the master who created these powers does not need to leave the hidden danger of "power out of control", it is better to cherish his own power from the beginning. ]

Chu Yan agreed with this point. It was understandable that a faith contract like the one from the Great Demon, like Belsa, would get out of control. When the Great Demon spread this faith contract, he did so with the intention of harvesting the "puppets".

That power is lunch that comes at a price.

But people like the Witch of Sorrow don't need this kind of puppet at all. If they don't like others to interfere with their power, then they can just keep the power in their hands from the beginning. Why set up a hurdle?

But the reality is that the phenomenon of loss of control has existed for a long time.

In fact, if there has always been a loss of control within the church, it can be understood. It can be explained as a punishment for breaking the precepts, being unfaithful to the faith, etc., and if it is linked to the church's precepts and creeds, the loss of control is even easier to explain.

The problem is that the church's loss of control occurred suddenly and indiscriminately. The corrupt church nobles and the down-to-earth grassroots believers were all out of control.

Chu Yan gritted his teeth and forced himself to form words to respond:

“The power of the witch may be such that the negative thoughts and strength contained in it are difficult for the later comers to bear.

However, the church's power system had been stable for a long time. It was gentle and sacred, giving alms to believers and spreading the gospel to all directions. Until a special period came, the church also began to lose control.

This is something I cannot understand, and no one in the church knows why.”

[Until the special period came, what is the special period? 】

Chu Yan felt that he should be the one asking the question seeking the answer, but why did he feel like he was the one giving the answer?

But the calmness and composure in "Meide"'s conversation made people feel that she was not doubtful. Maybe she was just...guiding the other party to think through asking questions and find those overlooked details.

"The special period of the monthly fee group 694936135 that I mentioned is the end of the world..."

Chu Yan had no other choice but to describe in detail the world situation as he understood it.

After talking for a long time, Chu Yan confirmed that he had not missed anything, took a long breath, and said:

"Lord Virtue, if you release the owner of the body you borrowed, she might be able to explain it more clearly than I can."

[Even if she is released, she will still just sleep. I heard everything you said, and what I need to tell you is...]

[The layers of worlds connected by towers are not what I know of. On this point, my answer is the same as that of the witches.]

Chu Yan was stunned, blinking blankly, looking at "Virtue" in confusion and inexplicability.

No way, if you don’t know, then what are we?

The witch's side can be explained by the long history, but the church's side should not be that old.

There are all kinds of things that can be dug up, such as angel statues.

Now that I have mustered up the courage to go to her door, "Meide" knows nothing about it.

Wait...

An extremely contradictory idea flashed through Chu Yan's mind!

Now there is almost irrefutable evidence to prove the truth...the gods of the church have left many active traces in this level of the Tower of Babel.

Not to mention the angel weapons imitated by monsters, let’s just assume that the temple that appeared in the tower was imitated by monsters.

But the statue under the Ruins Square

619

What about the Angel of Discipline?

It appeared directly in the Tower of Babel, and was imprisoned there by the god of the church himself as punishment.

This is first-hand evidence that the gods were active in the tower.

"Virtue" is the source of power held by the Grand Sister. How could she not know about the Tower of Babel?

Chu Yan stood there in a daze for a long time, and after a long period of thought, he came back to his senses with difficulty.

He hesitated and asked Virtue for a guess, saying:

"Lord Virtue, I want to confirm one thing with you. What is your relationship with the gods? Are you superior or inferior? Or equal?"

[All the beings you can see in the nightmare space are supreme beings who have created a certain power. Do you think I have a superior? ]

What this means is that in the understanding of "virtue", we don't know who God is!

"Then who is the god that the church believes in in my world?"

[If you can call Him here, I might be able to find out.]

So Chu Yan had just been talking about this for so long, but they were not the same thing at all? No wonder "virtue" seemed so...incomprehensible.

If we think deeply about this situation, then doesn't it mean that...

There are so many books in the church, even secret books such as the sacred arts, which are indeed authentic things that can be traced back to their origins. However, this church that has developed so prosperously is essentially similar to a folk society.

The things are good, but they have nothing to do with the church. The church itself is similar to a witch's society.

The clergy of the church believe in the great figures in the gospel books, but the "Virtue" itself does not know the existence of these believers, and has never even heard of the so-called "God", let alone know him.

"I'm sorry, Master Virtue, I'm a little confused now... I want to ask you one more question, have you ever founded any organization? An alliance of comrades, or an organization of believers, or something like that?"

[In Ash Heaven, there are beings equal to me, and there are subordinate organizations active within it, which may be considered the believer organization you mentioned, but this is all a long time ago.]

Ash Heaven, an organization I have never heard of, it really has nothing to do with the church!

Chu Yan now doesn’t dare to go back and tell Josephine and the others the information.

When they saw the Angel of Discipline, everyone felt that the church's faith was about to collapse, but they could still barely explain it away with doctrine, because after all, this was the Angel of Discipline who was punished by God himself.

Now when this news is brought back, the one who collapsed the house is not an angel, but the god of the church.

[It seems that you, my child, have encountered unprecedented confusion. ]

[The problem of the power being out of control that you mentioned earlier can only exist in two aspects. Either there is a problem with the power, or there is a problem with the person using the power.]

[Regarding the world connected by the tower and the church with a wide range of believers that you mentioned, perhaps my power is indeed passed down in them, but I can only shake my head to respond to the answer to your question that you are eager to ask.]

Chu Yan scratched his head in distress, agreeing with the other party's summary. Now he didn't even know what to ask.

The entire existence of the church suddenly became empty in his mind.

Although there were some suspicious points, Chu Yan felt that this trip should not be in vain and he had to bring something back anyway.

"My Lord Virtue, I have many friends who have always worshipped and believed in the power of creation, that is, you.

I never thought that I had believed in the wrong person for many years. I wonder if I could bring back some souvenirs from you. I want to explain the various situations more effectively. "

[You are the witch's child, and you come to me to pray for strength and runes? ]

"No, no, no, it's not me who wants it. I'm just the messenger delivering the things!" Chu Yan emphasized, very thick-skinned.

[Forget it, young and peculiar guest, in view of your sincerity and humility, I will allow you to take "moderation" back with you. It may help you find the boundary of losing control. ]

The holy wings of "Virtue" flapped gently, and a feather emitting milky white light fell into Chu Yan's hands.

Chapter 66: The Shackles of Virtue (-)

I got the rune called temperance from "Virtue", which can barely be regarded as consolation.

However, Chu Yan could hardly calm down after learning from the conversation.

He thanked Virtue and was about to leave when he came to his senses and remembered something:

"How should I use this feather? I can't actually take the things out. It seems that your rune must be imprinted on me first..."

To put it bluntly, he, Chu Yan, would help Josephine and the others use this rune first, as they would share it in the future anyway.

[How did the witches give you the runes? 】

Chu Yan immediately summoned the "key", which was engraved with runes from various witches, leaving only a small amount of space.

Standing in front of "Virtue", Chu Yan felt that he should be as honest and unreserved as possible. He used [Demon Dragon Transformation] again and showed the rune that his grandmother had branded on his arm.

Arms display!

It's a bit like stamp collecting.

"Virtue" was silent for a moment, her delicate and tempting red lips seemed to be hesitant to speak, and her complicated emotions were revealed in the silence.

[I sense that you have been favored by the witch's runes, but I didn't expect there to be so many witches. There are more than I have seen in the past...]

"Excessive praise!"

620

Chu Yan smiled awkwardly.

[What I didn't expect was that witches were supposed to teach people to indulge and release their power as much as possible, just like the 'key' they gave you, but the runes on it are more about suppression and protection.]

Chu Yan also felt this.

Judging from the "overclocking" effect of the backup magic power, the witch's power should be more inclined to an explosive power.

"Key" more or less implies the liberation of power.

However, due to the limitations of this strange condition of being out of control, the runes on it tend to be suppressed, which is really a helpless move.

[The rune is given to the believer who believed in the wrong person. As for you... I will give you the 'shackles'. 】

Hearing the word "shackles", Chu Yan subconsciously thought that the other party was going to do something bad and was preparing to control him, but when he reacted, a ball of light was already floating in front of him.

Chu Yan reached out and touched it, and his finger was bitten by something, and blood flowed out from the fingertips.

Then, the ball of white light dissipated and gathered at his wrist, turning into a "bracelet" decoration with a silver-white snake body, a snake head with a tongue sticking out, and sharp teeth faintly visible.

The feather merged into it and shrank to the size of the snake scales.

Is this thing the "shackles"?

Chu Yan thought it would be shackles or a wooden yoke that was fastened around the neck, but he didn't expect it to look like a decoration.

Real silver bracelet.

"Meide" was so generous that Chu Yan had to thank him again. He respectfully left the temple, not forgetting to close the door.

But he did not leave immediately, because now that he had transformed into a [Demon Dragon], he could try out the effect of the rune given by his grandmother.

Chu Yan walked away from the temple and into the flat and open grassland, where the grass was as tall as his knees.

The runes activated with his thoughts, the patterns on his arms glowed brightly, and a distant dragon roar suddenly sounded. With him as the center, the grass was bent in all directions, as if it was being pressed by the sound waves that had condensed into substance.

The runes appeared along the direction of the sound, suspended in the air, and formed a barrier.

"Is it also used to activate the barrier? Then what is the use of this barrier?" Chu Yan scratched his head.

This move looks really powerful. The dragon roars, and then the barrier is formed. Its purpose is unknown, and it needs an enemy to work.

It was probably Virtue who noticed a stupid dragonborn yelling in the yard, so she sent a wooden stake enemy over.

A spear of holy light descended from the sky, and in the beam of light, an angel with white wings walked out. The clothes on her body resembled a white tights, but without the normal wrinkles and texture of clothes, it looked more like body painting.
