After experiencing life and death, they began to reflect deeply: Why should they risk their lives to serve those suffering members of the Vatican who were usually idle and turned a blind eye to the suffering of the people?
Driven by this sentiment and instigated by certain ambitious people, a large-scale rebellion eventually broke out in the city.
The City Lord's Mansion, as a symbol of power, was the first to be attacked.
After learning of the outbreak of the plague, the city lord hurriedly fled to the summer resort with his servants and thirteen concubines. Therefore, the defense of the city lord's mansion was extremely weak and was soon captured by the rebels.
However, the armory in the city lord's mansion became the rebels' spoils.
With these sophisticated weapons, the rebels' strength increased rapidly. They advanced rapidly all the way and soon reached the temple of the See of Pain.
At this moment, the Temple Army in the temple was fighting fiercely with the rebels.
The wound on Socorro's body just now was caused by this battle.
Faced with the well-equipped and highly motivated rebels, the Templars, although they possessed extraordinary capabilities, were gradually losing ground in terms of numbers and weapons and equipment.
If it weren't for the Holy Seal, they would have died countless times.
But unfortunately, because Lin Yi severed Socorro's connection with miracles, the painkillers and recovery potions that the Temple Army relied on instantly became ineffective.
The holy seal that originally granted them immortality has now lost its effectiveness and become worthless.
These holy seals could not transfer injuries out of thin air, nor could they provide them with a continuous supply of vitality.
Failing to notice the changes in the Holy Seal, an arrogant Templar soldier launched a desperate charge towards the rebel force, only to be chopped into meat paste by the rebels the next second.
The rebels looked at the fallen Temple soldiers and could hardly believe their eyes.
Just now, these Temple soldiers seemed to be assisted by God. No matter how they attacked, it seemed difficult to cause fatal damage to them.
However, at this moment, the Templar soldier suddenly died just by being stabbed in the heart.
"They have lost the protection of the gods. As expected, the gods can no longer tolerate their perverse behavior! Everyone, follow me and kill them!" An ambitious man shouted with his arms raised, and his voice echoed over the battlefield.
For a long time, they have been angry but unable to speak out because of the actions of the Holy See, but now, they see hope of overthrowing the rule of the Holy See.
"Sure enough, even God can't stand it anymore?"
"Great, these guys should have died a long time ago."
Under the instigation of the ambitious man, the surrounding rebels were like being brainwashed, and the fear and concerns in their hearts disappeared without a trace.
They had always been dissatisfied with the Church of Pain, but they had never dared to express it before.
After the speech, the leader disappeared in the crowd, quietly went to a dark corner and took off the black veil on his face.
If Lin Yi could stand here, he would find that the leader was actually the vegetable stall owner that Lin Yi met.
The vegetable stall owner originally planned to go to the Church of Sorrow and exchange his hard-earned gold coins for holy water to treat his two seriously ill children.
But the priest caught him off guard by suddenly raising the price.
Looking at the child wailing on the bed, the vegetable stall owner secretly contacted some vendors to incite the patient's family.
Unexpectedly, the effect was so significant that no one even said much. They just said, "Do you want to grab the holy water?" and the families of these patients automatically joined their team.
With a common goal, these people are fearless and brave.
Even before they died, their only request was that people around them bring holy water to their families.
This is also the only goal of their action this time. For the survival and hope of their families, they threw themselves into this battle without hesitation.
Right now, the Temple Army near the temple was caught in a bitter fight.
The Templar Army in this city is composed of a total of thirty people in a squadron. After all, this city is an important source of funds for the Holy See, so more people are allocated.
But at this moment, the number of rebels had exceeded a thousand. After losing the effect of the Holy Seal, the thirty soldiers of the Temple Army could only fight and retreat. They were about to retreat to the temple, and the situation was extremely critical.
"Has the call for help been sent out?"
The captain of the Templar Army asked a soldier behind him while defending against the attack in front of him.
"The call for help has been sent, Captain!" A soldier behind him responded, with a hint of anxiety and helplessness in his voice.
Their squadron only had thirty people in total, but they had to face more than a thousand rebels. You can imagine the enormous pressure they were under.
"It seems that riots have broken out in every city now, and they can't spare any manpower." A soldier behind him was holding a crystal ball, which could connect to other crystal balls.
But at this moment, there were shouts and cries of killing coming from the crystal ball one after another, and it was obvious that the situation in other places was not much better.
"Damn it, what about the Vatican? Let them send out a large army to suppress it, otherwise the situation will be out of control." The captain of the Templar Army said anxiously, but before he could finish his words, a spear suddenly pierced his chest.
The sudden attack made him freeze instantly, and then several long knives stabbed into his body at the same time.
Under the frenzied attack of the crowd, the squadron leader was quickly chopped into pieces.
At this moment in the Vatican, the captain of the Templar Army who was in charge of liaison was immersed in enjoyment.
He was lying on a large velvet bed with two beauties in his arms, completely oblivious to what was happening outside.
The other captains also lived an equally extravagant life. They did not take the rebellion outside seriously at all and believed that those civilians could never be a match for the Templars.
The crystal ball used for communication had already been thrown into the warehouse and locked up so as not to disturb their lives.
At this moment, the crystal ball in the warehouse was glowing slightly red, flashing a signal of crisis.
Few people come to this warehouse on weekdays, so no one notices anything unusual here.
The corruption and indifference of the Holy See undoubtedly exacerbated the chaotic situation outside, and the entire continent fell into an unprecedented crisis.
In the basement of the Cathedral of Our Lady of All Mothers, Krantha knelt on the ground, her hands clasped together, her lips trembling slightly, and she was confessing for Socorro, hoping that she could go to Mount Heaven and find eternal rest.
From Kransha's narration, Lin Yi also learned about Socorro's past.
Socorro was once a saint of the Church of Suffering, and she had a pure and kind heart.
However, that innocent kindness became the source of her pain under the strict rules of the Vatican.
When she witnessed the Templars torturing pagans and traitors in the Vatican, Socorro could not bear the cruel punishment and began to pray for those who were punished.
In accordance with the teachings of the Church of Passion, she prayed to the gods to relieve these people from their suffering, and was even willing to replace their punishment with her own suffering.
After praying day and night, a miracle finally happened.
Originally, Socorro had a pure wish, hoping to relieve the pain of those who were punished through his own prayers.
However, she never imagined that this starting point would trigger her personal nightmare.
After learning about the miracle that happened to Socorro, the Church of Pain became very interested in her abilities.
A bishop proposed that Socorro share the damage for the Templars, which not only provided a new "protection mechanism" for the Templars, but also happened to be in line with Socorro's deepest desire - to bear the pain for others.
This proposal was quickly unanimously agreed upon by all the bishops and the Holy King.
Socorro was then bound underground with iron chains, and her body was covered with dense holy seals, which became the bond between her and the Templars.
From then on, Socorro became the "painkillers" and "restoration potions" of the Templars.
Under her protection, the Templars gradually suppressed other forces on the continent and became invincible in every battle.
The only price was that Socorro would have to endure endless torture underground.
Whenever someone joins the Templar Army, the priest that Krantha just saw will carve a holy seal on Socorro's body.
The priest that Lin Yi had just met was the bishop who had originally proposed this idea.
Because of this proposal, he was nominated by everyone to be a cardinal.
His job was to keep an eye on Socorro to prevent him from getting into any accidents for other reasons.
However, Kransha's sword caught him off guard and he had no chance to send out any distress signal.
"Let's go, it's time to head to the Holy King Corridor."
After Klansa finished praying for Socorro, she stood up from the ground.
After witnessing the various evil deeds of the church, Krantha became more determined to overthrow the Vatican.
The two of them are currently located in the basement of the Cathedral of Our Lady of All Mothers. As long as they reach the second floor and walk through the corridor, they will be able to meet the Holy King.
Krantha pressed the elevator button again. As the elevator slowly rose, she held the cross sword tightly in her hand, ready for battle.
Of course, taking this opportunity, Lin Yi also summoned a few more soldiers from the Black Shadow Corps.
If any other situations arise, these soldiers of the Black Shadow Corps can cover the two of them and delay time.
"The ultimate halo."
"The chain of life."
"Divine blessing."
After Lin Yi added the buff to Kelansha, Kelansha felt as if she was reborn.
If her previous self were placed before her, the current Kransha was confident that she could defeat her previous self within three seconds.
The two took the elevator to the top floor, walked out of the elevator and stepped onto a long corridor.
The corridors are lined with paintings depicting the glorious past of the Papal Church, and each one tells the story of the glory and splendor of the Church.
Among these paintings, Lin Yi noticed the statues of the Mother of All Mothers and the Twisted Father carved on the stone pillars.
Blood kept dripping from the hands of the two stone statues and gathered in the pool below.
A strong smell of blood wafted into his nose, and Lin Yi immediately realized that all the blood was human blood.
Walking along the corridor, Lin Yi found that there was no one in the corridor. After all, this was the Holy King's Corridor, and ordinary members of the Holy See were not qualified to approach.
Only Klansha's special identity can directly meet the Holy King, otherwise Lin Yi can only get here by defeating the entire Holy See.
As the two continued walking along the stairs, a familiar voice suddenly rang in Lin Yi's ears: "Blasphemer, I wish you success."
He turned his head suddenly and was surprised to find that the nun he met before killing Tepidade appeared in his sight.
In just a moment, the nun disappeared from his sight again.
"Did you hear that?" Lin Yi asked Klansa subconsciously.
"What?" Klansha turned around in confusion, obviously not noticing the sound just now.
Lin Yi looked at Klansha, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to remain silent and did not tell her about the nun.

592.
The two continued to walk up the stairs. Both sides of the stairs seemed like a sea of blooming flowers, with countless lanterns and flowers interweaving into a dazzling and gorgeous scene.
Orange, pink and royal blue lanterns are hung on an iron frame wrapped with vines, swaying gently in the wind and emitting a soft glow.
Each step is paved with exquisite mosaic tiles, leading believers to climb step by step towards the sacred temple.
Arriving in front of the gate, Lin Yi's attention was attracted by the statues on both sides of the gate.
At this time, he discovered that the appearance of the nun who had disappeared before was strikingly similar to the statue of the Mother of All Mothers.
However, the statue of the Mother of All Mothers showed a woman in her forties or fifties, while the nun appeared much younger, probably around twenty years old.
Therefore, Lin Yi had never connected the two together before.
Pushing open the door of the Holy King's Corridor, you will see lifelike marble carvings on the walls on both sides, with delicate lines outlining mythological characters.
A red carpet was spread out on the ground, leading directly to the throne of the Holy King in the distance.
On both sides of the carpet, the white marble carvings are exquisitely decorated, and the gold embellishments add a touch of luxury and elegance.
On the Holy King's seat, there was a man in a black robe.
Lin Yi's gaze finally fell on the Holy King's seat.
Sitting there was a man in a black robe, his exposed arms were bright red, his skin had disappeared in the raging fire, leaving only muscle tissue exposed.
"Finally, someone comes to me again. But unfortunately, this will be your end." The Holy King's voice was extremely cold.
Lin Yi only felt a black screen in front of his eyes, as if he was sucked into an unknown space by an invisible force.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a strange space.
Hot and dangerous ashes kept falling from the sky, and every piece of ash would leave a mark when it touched Lin Yi's skin.
The temperature of these ashes is extremely high. If Lin Yi had not activated the ultimate halo in time to improve his defense, these ashes would have been enough to burn through his body.
"Blasphemer, prepare to accept the judgment of God." A grand voice sounded in Lin Yi's ears.
