"Humph!"
After removing the veil of the first cage, Elena snorted coldly and waved her hand, then the buttercloths of all the other cages were completely removed.
There is a monster locked in almost every cage, and some are even struggling with the potions in their bodies.
Those people still possessed some human features, but one side of their faces had turned into monsters. This horrifying scene, even just one glance at it, would make people shudder from the bottom of their hearts.
These people, not long ago, were all Glorious-level and Brilliant-level professionals of the human race, but now they have turned into monsters.
Elina never thought that the tragedy in Vance Village was actually caused by the church. Elina would never have thought that such a vicious potion was actually developed by the church? !
The church that claims all day long that it represents the will of God, the church that claims to be holy and flawless, would actually do such a thing in secret.
This really made Elina extremely angry.
When she was at Tara, she had witnessed the beastly behavior of those nobles when they were left without any restraint.
Unexpectedly, the same is true in the church!
"Is this the glorious and brilliant professional you mentioned?!"
Elina exerted a little force with her feet, and her silver-white combat boots stepped firmly on the head of the high priest. Her tone was as cold as frost.
The high priest's eyes nearly popped out of his head as he was stepped on. The power of this silver-armored woman was too strong, and he had no room to resist.
But even so, he still stiffened his neck and shouted:
"I am warning you for the last time. This is an internal affair of the theocracy. As an outsider, you have no right to interfere. Moreover, I am the high priest in charge of church affairs! If you treat me like this, you will definitely be retaliated by the theocracy!!"
The high priest's voice was filled with venom. His status was extremely noble, and even the Pope would not treat him like this. But today, he was actually stepped on by a woman.
This feeling is really worse than killing him.
"Revenge me? Haha, wait until you can escape this alive before you tell me!"
Elina scoffed at the high priest's words.
At this moment, some of the cardinals who saw the high priest being humiliated and the potion incident being completely exposed have begun to retreat slowly, looking like they are ready to run away at any time.
As assistants to the high priest, they knew very well what they had done during this period. If these things were exposed, the high priest might still survive under the protection of the Pope, but these sacred figures like them would be dead.
"Who dares to run?"
Of course, these guys' little actions naturally did not escape Elena's eyes.
Elina just stood there coldly, and her words in a very low voice made those cardinals who were preparing to escape freeze in place.
Those cardinals who had guilty consciences raised their heads with difficulty and looked at Elena in the moonlight.
At this moment, the bright moonlight shone on her silver-white armor, emitting bursts of cold light, which made people feel scared.
It doesn’t matter, just don’t run. Anyway, these things are kept very confidential. As long as you never tell anyone, no one will ever know the secret!
Almost in an instant, those cardinals had made up their minds that no matter how tortured they were, they would not tell anyone about that incident!
Unfortunately, their ideas are beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
As soon as their beautiful thoughts came to an end, they felt a spiritual force passing through their minds.
Then they all became like puppets, and they would obediently answer whatever Elena asked.
This is the same trick that Elina played at Tara.
However, when he was in Tara, because he had not been exposed to the secret techniques of the Jinxu lineage, his mental strength was far less powerful than it is now.
Therefore, at that time, Elina could only control professionals at the Radiant level at most, and she could only do it one by one.
But now, Elena's mental strength has been unprecedentedly improved after practicing the secret techniques of the Jinxu lineage.
The upper limit of soul control has not only been raised to the sacred level, but the number has also increased a lot.
It was because of this that she could easily know the inner thoughts of all the cardinals present.
"That's great, High Priest. You're developing potions and conducting cruel experiments. Tell me, is Diogenes behind this?"
Elina bent down and patted the high priest's face, her tone unusually relaxed.
However, her relaxed tone made the high priest excited.
"No! All this has nothing to do with His Holiness the Pope!!!"
After hearing what Elina said, the high priest howled immediately.
No matter what, I, Your Holiness, must not be implicated in this.
Because if they are in trouble, His Holiness the Pope can rescue them.
But if anything happened to His Holiness the Pope, they would all have to go to see God.
"Then you are admitting that you have something to do with this matter."
Elina laughed, and her laughter even sounded cute. Unfortunately, at this time, no one had the leisure to appreciate Elina's laughter.
"No!! I don't admit it! I don't admit that this matter has anything to do with it."
It was not until Elena finished speaking that the high priest realized what he had just said, and he frantically denied it.
"Okay, since you don't want to talk here, let's go talk somewhere else and talk slowly."
Elina smiled softly, then picked up the Grand Inquisitor with one hand and controlled the cardinals with the other hand, and disappeared in front of everyone.
In fact, after the investigation, Elena immediately knew what had happened.
In the memories of all the cardinals, the high priest appeared frequently, but the Pope never appeared even once.
If this memory is correct, it seems to prove that His Holiness the Pope is very clean.
But Elina didn't believe that this high priest would dare to do such a serious and vicious thing on his own without the support of His Holiness the Pope?!
Therefore, Elena firmly believed that this matter must be related to Diogenes, but this guy hid it too well and only met with the high priest.
And her soul control could only reach the level of a sacred professional or a temple level at best, so she really had no other options.
But she didn't ask about the legs, she had plenty of solutions.
(I think it’s because I’ve been on vacation recently, so I feel a little out of shape. Please forgive me.)
Chapter 46: Diogenes the Cruel
"Hey! Wait a minute!!"
As Elina disappeared before his eyes, Otega rushed forward to stop her.
Although the high priest usually did not get along with him, he was the head of political affairs of the Theocratic Church after all. He possessed countless secrets of the Theocratic Church, and he absolutely could not let this mysterious man take him away like this.
Unfortunately, Elena ignored him. When he rushed over, Elena had already disappeared with those people.
At this speed, even the space turbulence is not turned on.
“How is it possible…”
Seeing this scene, Otega couldn't help but groan in fear.
A thought that even frightened him came into his mind.
Could it be that the mysterious girl has mastered the legendary [teleportation]?
[Teleport] is a very terrifying ability, which can only be used if one understands the element of space to a very deep degree.
It is said that people who have mastered this ability can merge their entire body with space. They do not need to go through spatial turbulence and can move directly according to their own wishes. Although there is a certain distance limit, it is still very terrifying.
[Teleport] not only makes the user's movements more bizarre and attacks more unpredictable, but also allows the user to chase down enemies.
It can be said that as long as you encounter an enemy that can perform [Teleport], you can't escape even if you want to.
Space blockade can prevent temple-level and demigod-level strongmen from teleporting through space turbulence, but it cannot stop strongmen who can [teleport] from moving.
Even among demigods, this skill was something they had only heard of but never seen.
The reason why Otega knew this was because the first ancestor of the human race had reached this level and it was recorded.
However, since that time, no one has been able to reach that level.
If the girl just now really used [Teleport], then we will be in big trouble.
Although their theocratic church is quite powerful, it still seems weak in the face of such a strong man.
Even His Holiness the Pope is no match for such an existence!
"Damn it! When on earth did such a strong man appear at dawn?!"
Otega's face turned pale with fear, and a chill ran from his tailbone to the top of his head.
He was trying hard to control his emotions, but the fear that came from the unknown still made his teeth tremble slightly.
This girl appeared too suddenly and too mysteriously.
How could such a powerful person be so unknown before that he didn't even hear the slightest rumor about her.
This is so abnormal!
No, I have to report these things to His Holiness the Pope immediately.
Thinking of this, Otega hurriedly flew towards the Pope's palace.
As for the remaining people, Otega asked them to rest where they were and not to move the cages away for the time being.
After all, he felt that the mysterious girl came this time just for this matter.
······
In the central area of the city of Tatin, there is a palace made mainly of pure white marble and crystal.
Compared to a church-like building, this palace is more like a temple. Those pure white columns look like divine pillars.
From a distance, the palace looks exquisite and beautiful, but when you walk down to the ground, you will discover its grandeur.
A total of 128 pure white steps stretched upward, as if they were the road to heaven.
And here lives the supreme leader of the theocratic church, His Holiness the Pope.
At the same time, this is also the center of the entire theocratic church. Almost all orders are issued from here and then spread throughout the human race by various churches and temples.
At this moment, it was clearly late at night, but the entire palace was brightly lit.
In a hall at the core of the palace, the Pope was sitting on the throne that symbolized the supreme divine power. He held the human race's artifact [Gospel] in his right hand and a staff with a triple cross in his left hand. Over his white coat, he wore a red robe that represented the supreme status of divine power, and on his head, he wore a three-layered golden crown.
At this moment, the Pope did not wear his usual simple robe, but dressed in formal attire according to etiquette.
He looked into the distance with a sad gaze, as if waiting for something.
The smooth off-white floor tiles were dazzling under the lighting in the room, but even so, a cloud of gloom still hung over the Pope's heart.
Ever since that feeling of horror appeared in his heart, this feeling has never disappeared.
It still beats in his heart.
This feeling became even stronger especially after he sent out the high priest.
His intuition told him that something big was going to happen tonight.
The intuition of a demigod-level strongman is completely different from that of an ordinary person.
When one’s strength reaches this point, because of one’s mastery of the element of time, one already has a certain degree of foresight about what will happen in the future.
The intuition of ordinary people can be said to be metaphysics, but the intuition of demigods is truly prophecy.
This is why the Pope wears formal attire, which he uses to enhance his authority as the head of the theocratic Church.
"Dear Pope, it's so late and you haven't rested yet. Are you waiting for me?"
Just when Diogenes felt a little relieved, a clear voice came from all around.
After hearing this figure, Diogenes' body tensed up instantly, but he soon relaxed. After searching in his mind, he found that the voice was obviously processed and was not from any demigod-level strongman he knew. Then he spoke lightly:
"Your Excellency, you have come to visit me so late at night. Do you have any advice for me? Why don't you come out and tell me? Being so secretive is not in line with your status as a demigod."
Diogenes said it very lightly, but secretly, he was frantically searching all the hiding places around him, trying to find this guy hiding in the dark.
Unfortunately, all his efforts were in vain. No matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find the person.
"Haha, you're not looking for me, are you? Don't bother me, I'll be right out."
As if she had noticed Diogenes' actions, Elena chuckled disdainfully, and then appeared directly in front of the Pope.
"how!"
