Reincarnation Paradise: The Void Debt Collector

This time, Lin Yi's attack did not have any fancy or dazzling moves. His figure left a blurry afterimage in the air and approached Tepidad at an astonishing speed.

The thorns on Tepidade's body seemed to sense extreme danger and exploded instantly to form a layer of defense on the surface of his body.

Although it wanted to dodge the attack, Xiaoxue's vines had already tightly wrapped around its feet, making it unable to move.

Tepidard helplessly crossed his hands in front of his chest, trying to block Lin Yi's attack.

Lin Yi's sword blade was as easy as cutting through butter, instantly piercing through Tepidad's two arms and then into his heart.

As the sword blade pierced into Tebitad's chest, countless black spikes suddenly emerged from his body, directly clearing the blood bar above Tebitad's head.

Tepidade's body fell heavily to the ground and there was no movement anymore.

[Kill Tepidad and obtain 7.3% of the Origin of the World. Now you have obtained 42.4% of the Origin of the World in total]

[Obtained the golden treasure chest, the sufferer. ]

[Obtain the 'Seal of Repentance'. 】

After Tepidad fell to the ground, the black thorns around Tepidad were withering at an alarming speed visible to the naked eye.

These thorns themselves are not normal plants, but rely on painful miracles to survive in the world.

Xiaoxue seemed to sense some special existence. It stretched out a tiny tentacle and broke open Tepidad's heart.

Lin Yi discovered that there was a seed hidden in the center of Tepidad's heart.

This seed exudes a strange smell, and all the thorns grow and sprout from this seed.

After finding the seed, Xiaoxue swallowed it into his stomach in one gulp.

As the seeds disappeared, all the black thorns on the floor instantly turned into a thick black smoke and then disappeared without a trace.

After swallowing the seeds, Xiaoxue seemed a little lazy.

It slowly returned to Lin Yi's wrist, sending a signal that he needed to rest.

Lin Yi understood that Xiaoxue might need some time to digest and process this strange seed.

At this time, Lin Yi discovered that Xiaoxue's skill 8 awakening progress had reached 99%, with a mark "awakening" at the end.

"Thank you."

Just as the small amount of blood climbed up Lin Yi's wrist, a deep male voice suddenly appeared in front of Lin Yi.

Lin Yi looked up and found a middle-aged man with a weathered face standing quietly in front of him.

The man was wearing the robe of the Papal Church, and the twisted statue of the Holy Father hanging around his neck revealed his identity.

“I thought the coming of a miracle would allow me to ascend to heaven, but I didn’t expect that miracles would be the source of suffering.”

A bitter smile appeared on Tepidade's face. He slowly took off the twisted statue of the Father, which symbolized faith, from his neck and gently placed it on his body.

This simple action seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

Due to the residual power of the miracle, Tepidade's soul can still hold on for a while, which is why Tepidade can appear and talk to Lin Yi.

"I can sense the breath of the Holy Father of Truth in you, Confessor. If you want to cut off the source of miracles, you must go to the Land of Dreams. In the Land of Dreams, I truly felt the breath of miracles, which is why I became like this."

The story of Tepidade is extremely simple; he is just an ordinary priest in the Vatican.

In his dreams, Tepidade would repeatedly dream that he had turned into a monster with a deer's head and a human body, and then he would suddenly wake up from the dream.

Due to long-term insomnia and nightmares, Tepidard suffered from severe insomnia and mental illness.

He knelt before the distorted statue of the Father, praying hopefully for a good night's sleep.

In the endless torment of nightmares, Tepidard found that his body was becoming more and more strange.

Finally, the so-called "miracle" happened to Tepidade, but it turned him into a complete monster.

This "miracle" was not the salvation he expected, but a cruel curse.

The reason why Tepidade lies in the arms of the stone statue of the Virgin Mary is that in Tepidade's subconscious mind, the Virgin Mary's arms symbolize stability and tranquility.

This is also the reason why Tepidade was so irritable after being disturbed by Lin Yi.

When Tepidade sensed the breath of miracles in his dream, he saw the true face of the gods and realized that all the pain and miracles in the world were just a scam.

This cruel truth plunged him into deeper despair and made him deeply doubt his own beliefs.

But even if he knew, what could he do? Under the control of the gods, he could not make public what he saw and heard.

The reason why he became what he is now is because of the intention of the gods.

Because Tepidade's soul is extremely peculiar, it can frequently connect to the dream world, and the dream world is the base camp of divine power.

In order to protect their own secrets, the gods did not want Tepidade to reveal his origins, so they began to torture him with miracles in an attempt to shut him up.

The torture day after day caused Tepidade's spirit to gradually collapse, and finally one day, he went completely crazy.

The gods took the opportunity to send down their power and transformed him into a monster as a guardian of the secret.

Tepidade's tragic fate was thus sealed; he became a victim of the gods and could never escape the curse.

"Confessor, there is what you need in the basement of the Holy See."

After saying this, Tepidade's soul in the air began to slowly dissipate.

The power of the miracle was gradually disappearing, but Tepidade did not feel the slightest panic because of the dissipation of his soul. On the contrary, his expression was extremely peaceful.

"Finally. Finally I can get a good night's sleep."

At the moment when Tepidad's soul was about to dissipate, Lin Yi heard Tepidad's comforting voice in his ears.

"Then I wish you a good sleep this time." Lin Yi said softly, as if he was giving Tepidad his final blessing.

On the other side, as the miracle of Tepidade was cut off by Lin Yi, the bishops in the Vatican finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

You know, the power of miracles is not so easy to dissipate. The disappearance of two miracles in such a short period of time is undoubtedly an unusual signal.

The Holy See responded quickly and sent the Templar Army to guard the last holy seal just in case.

Lin Yi didn't know that the Holy See had already noticed something unusual.

The second teleportation gem in his hand began to glow, and with a shattering sound, he was once again sent back to the location of the Mourning Channel.

This time, Lin Yi discovered that Diogakas was not kneeling on the ground like before.

On the contrary, the ropes around his legs had broken and he was standing on the ground.

Diogakas's tall body was half a head taller than Lin Yi.

Lin Yi noticed that only the area around Diogakas' chest was still tied with ropes, while other parts of his body had regained their freedom.

"Is Tepidade asleep?" Diogakas' voice trembled a little. It was obvious that he and Tepidade must know each other.

"He's asleep, and this time, no one should disturb him."

After hearing this, Diogakas showed a relieved smile on his face, "That's good, that guy always complained about not sleeping well before, this time, he can finally sleep well." Just as he finished speaking, the rope around his waist suddenly broke.

As the restraints were gradually released, the aura of Diogakas became stronger and stronger.

At the beginning, the Diogakas that Lin Yi saw gave him the feeling that he was no different from an ordinary person. As the ropes were untied, the power of Diogakas was gradually released, and he had become even more powerful than the flesh and blood fusion monster that Lin Yi had encountered before in the snowy mountains.

"Let's go. This time, I will go to the last location with you. The Temple Army has already noticed your actions. If you are alone, you will soon be surrounded by the army."

A thorn-wrapped blade appeared in Diogakas's hand.

"who are you?"

Lin Yi looked at Diogakas and asked. He actually felt the breath of the Holy Father of Truth on Diogakas.

How is that possible? Could it be that Diogakas was once a member of the Society of Silence?

But according to the temper of the Church of Pain in this world, if Diogakas was really a member of the Order of Silence, he would have been judged as a heretic by the Church of Pain long ago. How could he be allowed to survive in this world and join the Church of Pain?

The church in this world has only one attitude towards pagans, and that is to annihilate them.

"Don't think about it. I'm just a failure, a loser who has lost everything." Diogakas sighed. He understood that Lin Yi had seen through some of his background.

Yes, Diogakas was once a member of the Order of the Mourning, and he was one of the blasphemers who rebelled against the rule of the Holy King, but he failed.

Chapter 583: The Madness of the Fanatics (5K chapter, please subscribe and vote)

Because of Diogakas's failure, the entire Congregation of the Holy Fathers was severely suppressed and destroyed by the Vatican.

The guilty Diogakas, unable to bear the heavy pressure, chose to end his life with the legendary Holy Sword of Thorns in front of the corpses of his fellow mourners.

But at this moment, a painful miracle happened.

No one knows how this painful miracle was triggered.

After Diogakas' emotions reached their peak, a miracle of pain befell Diogakas' body, turning Diogakas into an immortal being.

Since the miracle of suffering once again occurred outside the Painful Vatican, it attracted the great attention of the Vatican's top leaders.

In order to ensure the prestige of the Holy See, the cardinal decided to incorporate Diogakas into the Painful Church and make him a member of the sect.

However, the Holy See does not completely trust Diogakas.

In order to ensure that he would not have a negative influence on other members, the Vatican took extreme measures and tied his hands and feet tightly with ropes, forcing him to walk only on his knees.

Diogakas showed no intention of resisting.

He watched silently and sent away batch after batch of rebels who tried to embark on the path of blasphemy.

But unfortunately, everyone failed.

Most of the blasphemers died outside the walls without even seeing the main facade of the Vatican. The remaining rebels were brutally massacred when they faced the Templars after entering the Vatican, and no one was spared.

Never underestimate the Templar Army formed by the Holy See. They are not only the Holy See's official army, but also a violent machine to maintain its rule. Their strength is far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

The continent of Gustodia is so vast, and the reason why the Holy See has been able to consolidate its ruling position is largely due to this Templar Army.

The size of the Temple Army is not large, but the combat effectiveness of its members is extremely terrifying.

A divine seal will be branded on the body of every Templar soldier. With this divine seal, the Templar soldier will gain a state of pseudo-immortality.

As long as there are no injuries to vital parts, the injuries of the Templars can gradually recover, making them almost immortal on the battlefield.

Moreover, all members of the Temple Army master a technical ability, proficiency in the cross sword.

Some senior generals have even practiced this skill to the level of expertise or even mastery.

In addition, the Templars all wore a full set of iron armor blessed by the Vatican.

This kind of armor is not only strong and durable, but also has extremely high defensive power and can effectively resist enemy attacks.

Ordinary armies are no match for monsters with maximum attack power, survivability and defense capabilities.

When the Templars massacred the Society of Silence, they only sent out a squadron of 100 people, and they slaughtered the entire Society, while the Templars themselves suffered only three casualties.

From this we can see how exaggerated the strength of the Temple Army is.

Diogakas also knew that the time was not yet ripe. Even though a blasphemer had rushed to the bottom of the Holy King's throne before, Diogakas did not help.

Given the Holy King's temper, it is impossible for him to give up the throne to anyone else.

As Diogakas had expected, as the blasphemer tried to wade through the mountain of ash formed by countless corpses, he suddenly felt his legs as if they were tightly bound by an invisible force.

He struggled, but found that he could not climb up any further. He could only watch helplessly as the pale arms beneath him slowly dragged him towards the corpses filled with high temperature.

Under the terrifying power of the miracle of suffering, the body of the blasphemer was instantly burned to ashes by the remaining fire, leaving no trace of ashes.

The only thing left was his tall hood, which was the blood-stained hood that Lin Yi had seen in the warehouse before.

Diogakas calmly picked up the hood from the ground and continued to perform his role as scribe.

He knew clearly that the Vatican was deliberately sending these rebels to their deaths.

As long as they are given a glimmer of hope to overthrow the Church, these people will not stir up too much trouble outside. The Church can use this opportunity to consolidate its rule.

When the plague is over and the Vatican has time, it will not only suppress these rebels, but also those lickers who cured diseases and saved lives during the epidemic.

The reason is simple. The reputation of the Licker Church during the plague has seriously threatened the status of the Church of Pain.

The Archbishop of the Church of Pain has made careful plans. As soon as the plague subsides, he will lead the army to launch a full-scale suppression of the Licker Church.

Their plan was to blame the Licker Church for the outbreak of the plague and use it as an excuse to round up all of the Licker Church's members.

Afterwards, they will instruct scholars to falsify history to ensure that the Painful Church will always appear in history books with a glorious and positive image.

In their narrative, the Pax Suffering will be the hero who leads the people out of the plague.
