The invincible me kidnaps the invincible dragon

"What? Your Holiness, what are you talking about?"

Lobeias couldn't even believe her ears.

"Go away, leave me and the Theocracy, find a place to live in seclusion or go traveling, it's up to you. I will give you a large sum of wealth and let you live a very rich life."

Seeing the puzzled expression on Lobias's face, Diogenes repeated his words again.

"You...you are kidding me."

After hearing what Diogenes said, Lobias put on a forced smile on her face, but still spoke in disbelief.

"I'm not kidding, Lobeias. After all these years, you should know me very well. I never joke."

Diogenes shook his head, his voice flat.

"Why? Is there something I didn't do well enough? Your Holiness, please tell me and I will definitely change!"

After getting Diogenes' repeated affirmation, Lobias's face finally began to become anxious.

For thirty years, she had been accustomed to staying by Diogenes' side and doing everything for His Holiness the Pope.

Now, His Holiness the Pope wants her to leave?

She couldn't accept this kind of thing, and it was impossible for her to accept it.

"No, Lobelias, you did a great job. You gave me satisfactory results for all the work. I am very grateful for your efforts over the years."

His Holiness the Pope shook his head slightly, indicating that Lobias had never let him down.

"why?!"

The emotions that had accumulated over the past few days finally collapsed at this moment, and Lobeya screamed with tears in her eyes.

She couldn't understand why Diogenes did this.

"Why?"

Diogenes' eyes closed slightly, then opened again.

"You should still remember that we once made a common agreement to create a brand new ideal world, and now, I have touched this world."

As he spoke, Diogenes slowly stood up and opened his arms as if he wanted to hug something.

At this moment, it seemed that he was filled with divine radiance.

"In that case, I should stay and help you realize your dream. Why are you chasing me away?!"

After listening to Diogenes' words, Lobias became even more confused.

That new ideal family without war and full of peace is the common dream of her and His Holiness the Pope.

If His Holiness could really reach the world, why did he let her go?

"Lobeias, the reason is simple, because you are clean."

Diogenes looked at the woman half-kneeling on the ground not far in front of him, with a smile on his face.

"I am...clean?"

Lobias was stunned at first, then looked at Diogenes in disbelief.

"Could it be that the escort of those civilians was really..."

She was not a fool. Diogenes only said one sentence, and Lobias was able to guess everything.

"Yes, it is my order. The price of building a new world is tens of millions of lives."

Diogenes nodded coldly and directly admitted the matter.

Now, everything is going according to plan.

As long as we wait until the full moon tonight, we will be able to successfully carry out our plan.

At that time, at the cost of sacrificing tens of millions of people, he will gain a long life, and at the same time, his strength will be further improved.

He believed that with his talent, as long as he was given enough time, he would be able to reach the realm of God.

As long as you become a god, quelling the war is just a matter of thought.

He wanted to create an ideal world, which he had previously hoped could be achieved through conventional means.

But after becoming the Pope of the theocratic church, Diogenes came to realize how powerless one person is in the face of history.

This is true even if this person is a demigod.

Moreover, as time goes by, he no longer has much time to fulfill his ideals.

He was afraid of death and wanted to gain eternal life, but he wanted to try even more and establish a completely new order.

And this order was initiated by God.

“Why...how is it possible...?”

Lobias slumped on the ground with lifeless eyes. She couldn't accept Diogenes' words.

Originally, she came to the Theocratic Church because her village was destroyed.

She understands very well the pain of having a broken family.

But today, the person whom I admired and respected the most turned out to be a destroyer.

The inner entanglement and pain made her speechless.

"Once my plan begins, it will surely attract attacks from the entire human race, or even the entire Dawn camp. The Theocracy will surely suffer a terrible blow. Leave, Lobeas. You are the only one I don't want to be hurt."

Diogenes sighed, looked at Lobias deeply, and then disappeared from the bedroom.

With the departure of Diogenes, Lobias was the only one left in the entire palace.

There was no expression on her face. She stood up like a zombie and slowly walked towards the door.

At this moment, her mind was in a mess and she had no idea what to do next.

It was a feeling like an ideal that I had been holding on to for a long time was suddenly shattered, and I felt extremely empty.

······

No one knew that Diogenes had secretly left the Achaemenid Fortress and came to Tara.

In a cemetery in Tara, he stood silently in front of an unmarked tombstone.

Here, all the heroes who have made great contributions to the Theocratic Church are buried. Only this monument without words means that no one knows who is buried underneath.

Of course they didn't know, because buried under this tombstone was Diogenes' teacher, the person he had secretly loved all his life.

Diogenes just stood there quietly, looking at the inscriptionless monument, but said nothing.

His teacher, Vert, is a very ordinary civilian professional.

His strength was only at the Radiant level at best, but he brought light to Diogenes during the darkest time in his life.

Diogenes really liked his cheerful and gentle teacher.

But because of family reasons, he could not propose to Verette, and in the end he could only watch her walk into the arms of another man and then die on the battlefield.

The moment Violet left, Diogenes knew that his heart had gone with her.

From then on, the only person left in the world was Diogenes, who would do anything to seize the position of Pope.

There is no longer the boy who pondered the words in a love letter under candlelight.

Now that his dream is about to come true, he comes here not only to bid farewell to the past once and for all, but also to give himself a little peace of mind.

After a long while, Diogenes gently touched the stone tablet, then turned and left in silence.

Lobeias never understood why His Holiness the Pope was so kind to her.

In fact, it was because Diogenes' encounter with her reminded him of his encounter with teacher Violet. She was the last softness in Diogenes' heart.

And from today on, this last bit of softness will no longer exist.

······

At night, the bright moon hangs high.

The full moon was like a jade plate, beautiful and bright.

When the moon is full, it usually means disaster will happen among human beings.

But among the dark race, it was the moment when they were the strongest.

On this night, all the minions of the Theocracy Church were ready.

The nine huge altars set up in the human territory have been completed.

If someone were to observe from high in the sky, they would find that each of the nine altars had a thin magic channel directly connected to Tara.

When the ceremony begins, these nine magical channels will transfer the vitality of tens of millions of people to Diogenes alone.

By then, the deaths of tens of millions of people will bring him a long life.

"let's start."

Diogenes stood at the top of the altar in the temple and gave instructions to the cardinal next to him.

Then, in the air, one could see that the nine magic channels began to emit a light purple light.

"This is?"

Just as Diogenes began the sacrificial ceremony, Elena arrived. She looked at the passage below that was emitting faint light and frowned slightly.

Chapter 75: Die!

"What is this stuff?"

Looking at the faintly glowing magic channel, Elina was a little surprised. The channel extended far away, and even though she was suspended in the air, she could not see the end.

"It feels so familiar."

Just when Elina was wondering, a cold voice sounded quietly behind her.

"Who?"

Elina turned around and saw Naven in a black long dress appear behind her.

"Why are you here? This is human territory. Are you going to break the contract?"

Looking at Naven who suddenly appeared, Alina couldn't help but become a little alert.

After all, this guy's strength is too terrifying.

"Don't worry, since I have made a promise with you, I will definitely abide by it, and I don't have much interest in the human race."

As if seeing the wariness in Elina’s eyes, Naven chuckled disdainfully, then slowly moved forward, with his jade onion-like fingers pointing at the magic channel below.

"I came here this time because of this thing."

"Do you know this thing?"

Hearing Naven say this, Elina looked surprised, she was still wondering what this thing was.

"Well, I am one of the founders of the dark civilization, and I am very familiar with the secrets of all the dark races."

Naven nodded, then paused, as if he was thinking about something.

After about half a minute, a smile suddenly broke out on her face, and she said to Elina:

"Elina, I can tell you what this thing is, but you need to take something out in exchange."

After a brief recollection, Naven remembered what this thing was.

"I remind you once again that this thing concerns the lives of tens of millions of people in your race."

As if worried that Elina would hesitate, Naven immediately threw out this sentence with a smirk on his face.

“Tens of millions?!”

After hearing Naven’s words, Alina was a little bit unbelievable.

Tens of millions of lives?

You must be kidding. During the Abyss War, the human race suffered only tens of millions of casualties.

Could this thing cause the human race to suffer losses in a full-scale battle?

"Tell me your terms."
