...

In a valley just over 300 kilometers from the capital.

The forest here is lush, barren and quiet, and the air is full of the fragrance of grass and trees. A passing stream meanders from the bottom of the valley, and there are still several birds and beasts from above.

Time seems to be extremely slow here, and being here for a time makes people mistakenly think that they have come to a different world away from the hustle and bustle.

In this desolate and desolate valley, an ancient temple was quietly erected in the dense forest.

According to legend, this ancient temple was one of the several secret places where the bright **** became a **** and lived in seclusion, only the pope will know these places.

These hidden places will also become the place of hardship for generations of popes, before their official succession.

Although it is deserted and rarely known, its status in the once bright Holy See is extremely high.

Just today, an elite division of more than 3,000 people dived into the valley in a mighty manner, all the way to this ancient temple full of mottled ages.

The leader of this elite division is the emperor Carlos and the Protestant Pope Ignaz established by him.

The elite division of more than 3,000 people was also tacitly divided into two parts. Part of it was the 2,000 Imperial Army led by four Imperial Marshals who were strong at level 8.

These four Imperial Marshals are the belly of the confidence of the Emperor Carlos, and the two thousand Imperial Army are also outstanding elites drawn from the Royal Guard.

The two thousand fully-armed Imperial Empire soldiers started at level 3, and the captain and deputy captains reached levels 4 and 5. The centurion and their deputies reached the incredible level of 7 and 6!

In other words, among the more than two thousand people in the Imperial Army, only the legendary marshal of the eighth level accounted for four, and the seventh-level sacred land leader reached a full 20!

Such an overbearing team is the card of the emperor Carlos. Looking at the entire continent, I am afraid that it is impossible to make a second one.

The other part of this elite division is a thousand Holy See escorts, led by Archbishop Marne of the 8th apex, and two other Archbishops of tier 8.

The Protestant Vatican Guards are also very elite, but because of their subordinate relationship, their strength and equipment are only a little worse than those of Emperor Carlos's Imperial Army.

These Holy See guards, white monks' robes, and chain mail linings, were all fanatics who had been brainwashed by the pseudo-pope and his bones, looking mighty and crazy.

The configuration of the Protestant Guards is similar to that of the Imperial Army. In addition to three level 8 archbishops, there are 10 senior generals up to level 7 and thousands of fervent religious guards.

Leaving aside the imperial army under the control of the emperor Carlos, the terrible extent of this Protestant garrison alone is enough to make any vassal kingdom unstoppable.

"Ignaz, are you sure the artifact is here?"

When he came to the center of the altar of the temple, the emperor Carlos looked around, and slowly asked, "Are you sure you can complete the transformation after getting the artifact?"

Today he wears a crown, a armor, and a murderous silver and white sword hanging from his waist. It can be seen that this imperial emperor is completely inevitable today in order to win an artifact and obtain eternal life.

"Oh, Your Majesty, I can be sure that the artifact is here, and the old guy of Nasadel did not lie to me."

The pseudo-pope Ignaz is wearing a solemn robe of white gold with a metal mask, a pair of eyes that looks through everything, and glanced at the altar, and smiled calmly. "In addition, Your Majesty can rest assured, I have taken it The soul swears that after becoming a god, it will bring you eternal life and honor you as the emperor! You must know that under the law of the universe, no soul can violate their promise. "

Hearing Ignaz's answer, the emperor Carlos was full of desire.

The desire was burning like flames in Carlos' heart.

An emperor who conquered the throne of human empire after conspiracy and war, especially after he enjoyed the supreme power of his whole life, watching his ageing and dying, and gradually moving towards the end of his life. Such a day is no doubt for him An unspeakable torment.

As a result, his greed for power and eternal life has made it more difficult for him to extricate himself.

Fortunately, now he is finally going to succeed!

As long as he can live forever, he can rule all humanity forever! Even using the convenience of eternal life, like Ignaz and even the former bright god, seek another chance to become a god!

Regardless of whether Ignaz's promises can come true, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will try to try.

"Ignaz, my noble pope, hurry up and start, I can't wait for the arrival of a new **** for our empire."

The emperor Carlos nodded at the pseudo-pope Ignaz, and then winked at the empires gathered around the altar.

Soon Carlos, the emperor of the empire, facilitated the surrounding soldiers to retreat below the altar, and in the center of the altar of Nuoda, there was only one puppet.

"Your Majesty, it won't be long before we humans will no longer fear any forces, we will dominate the world!"

There were no outsiders at the moment, and the pseudo-pope Ignaz didn't have to continue covering up, so he slowly took off the metal mask to reveal his true face covered with godliness.

He looks much younger than his actual age, far from being an old man in the twilight. On the contrary, his pliable and smooth skin, sharp and bright eyes, and his tall and strong physique are just as positive as a man. The powerful imperial generals must be powerful!

Isn't it ... Her Excellency, you are old again?

The emperor Carlos, as well as the many empires and Protestants who were present, were all surprised.

They were all Ignaz's people, and almost all knew the true face under Ignaz's mask, but if Ignaz was in his true age, he was more than 90 years old.

But where does he look a little bit old now? Obviously is a strong middle-aged man in his early 35s!

Is it possible that Ignaz has experienced adverse growth over the past few decades, but with the passage of time, he has become younger and younger?

Many officers and men at the scene looked up to the solemn and aggressive Ignaz, one by one trembling and awed.

Although I don't know what method Ignaz used, there is no doubt that Ignaz in front of him is undoubtedly the closest to the gods among them!

"Yes, it must be it!"

Emperor Emperor Carlos looked at Ignaz's current appearance in his eyes, secretly excited.

Ignaz's ability to return to old age is proof of his youth!

Although he doesn't know what level Ignaz's strength has now reached, but since the other party can make himself return to old age, it means that there is a way to keep Carlos young forever!

Not long after that, the pseudo-pope Ignaz started some kind of ritual on the altar.

This ritual and mantra is actually a key to unlock the combination lock.

Sure enough, as Ignaz's ritual came to an end, the altar slab in the center of the temple began to slowly open, and a short-handled scepter shining with sacred golden light floated out.

For a moment, the solemn breath began to pour out like mercury. The dazzling light illuminated the entire temple.

Space and time seem to be still at this moment.

Everyone held their breath and looked up at the floating artifact scepter. Under this immense power, the awe-inspiring emotion was like tide, and madness appeared in people's hearts.

Artifact! No doubt, this is a real artifact!

According to legend, this artifact is exactly the staff used by the God of Light to transmute God, and it is the symbol of the power of light in the world. Whoever can hold this staff can obtain the supreme sacred power.

Many people at the scene thought this legend was just a legend, but now it seems that it's all true!

Because this great scepter is now floating in their eyes.

"It's so beautiful, it shines brighter than the stars at night!"

The emperor Carlos looked up and amazed. From his brilliant eyes, he was obviously full of longing for this artifact, but he also understood that although the artifact was good, he could not exert its true value.

Instead of wasting the power of the artifact, it is better to be patient for a few days, so that Ignaz can complete the transformation as soon as possible, and when he obtains eternal life, he can really have a plan.

"It is indeed an artifact, so powerful!"

At the altar, the pseudo-pope Ignaz stepped forward, reaching out and holding the light scepter in his hand. All of a sudden, a mighty might, followed his arm, straight into his body.

The pure, heavy, endless power of light, as if inexhaustible, makes Ignaz feel comfortable, and his chest is full of a sense of strength, as if the heavens and the earth will be stepped on by his feet, the sea of ​​stars He will also be allowed to travel.

"Congratulations to the Pope for harvesting artifacts!"

All the Protestant Guards officers and the three archbishops met on their knees.

The soldiers of the Imperial Army on this side, because of their identity and the presence of the Imperial Emperor, did not kneel, but still bowed their heads, salute, full of awe, as if the false Pope Ignaz was already a god. .

"Hehe, hahaha!"

Witnessing the worship of all people, feeling the power of filling his chest, the pseudo-pope Ignaz could no longer restrain his excited heart, and laughed, "With this artifact, I Ignaz Will transcend the mortals, and truly become the only **** in this world! "

Just then.

A majestic scolding, like a thunder, suddenly rang outside the temple door.

"Hum! Presumptuous!"

At the scene, everyone immediately turned their eyes and saw an old man holding a scepter of the cross and exuding the radiant light, wondering when it had appeared outside the gate of the temple.

...

...

The old man was gray-haired, wearing a holy robe with a gold pattern on a white background, and a round holy pattern on his forehead, which made him look like a divine incarnation, solemn and inviolable.

Although his eyes were old and turbid, he was still full of firmness that could not be seen directly. His body was thin, but it gave people a feeling of heavyness like mountains in front.

The temple quieted down instantly.

With the appearance of this old man, everyone at the scene was in a tight heart, as if they were suddenly pressed on a big rock, shut up and silent, for a time no one dared to make a loud noise.

"St. John Nasador?"

The pseudo-pope Ignaz, who had just received the artifact, suddenly widened his eyes, "You, aren't you in the Inquisition? So why are you here?"

Despite the pseudo-pope Ignaz, he thought he had stood on the apex of humanity and had the help of artifacts, so he no longer had to fear anyone.

But the old Pope Nasade's Yu Wei has always hovered around him, and now everyone's mind. At this moment, when he saw the other person suddenly appeared in the temple, like many people at the scene, he couldn't help shaking.

"Well, Nasadel can come out, of course, thanks to the maiden!"

Suddenly, a wicked laughter came from behind the old pope.

Soon a group of dark and energetic teams appeared one after another in the old pope.

There are hundreds of people in this team. The key is everyone.

Insidious and sly green-skinned goblins, strong and ugly half-giants, five big and three thick orcs and barbarian mercenaries, and even dead spirits and witches ...

The woman who just spoke is the leader of this team, wearing a wide witch robe, and the dark witch Judy, who claims to be the Dark Lady.

Beside Judy, followed by the backbone of the female thief Amanda, the Lich Batrice, and the male witch Moses.

This group of people followed the old Pope Nassade into the temple, watching their crazy expressions and swaying the pace. They did not face the tension of the powerful enemies, but showed a eager desire among them.

"What's the source of these black smoke?"

The emperor Carlos frowned first and scorned in disgust.

Many of the soldiers present frowned in disgust, but they did not dare to be too small.

Although these wacky races brought by the dark witch Judy seem to be a group of crooked dates, but the strength of these crooked dates is indeed very strong, even the elite of the Imperial Army and the Protestant Guards. Feel stress.

"Oh, Nasadel, you are really depraved now. Not only have you betrayed your faith, but now you are mingled with these black people."

After seeing the incoming person, the hypocrite Pope Ignaz raised his mouth, taunting mercilessly.

The dark witch Judy and others are indeed powerful for the Imperial Army or the Protestant Guards, but in the eyes of Ignaz, it is not worth mentioning at all.

"It is you who depart from your faith, Ignaz!"

At this moment, Liliana, a charming young woman in a red dress and a lazy temperament, stepped out from behind the old pope, "Ignaz, you betray the bright master, imprison the pope, fool the people, now you still return It is a great sin to attempt to become a god! "

The thought of Ignaz's sins against her and the entire Old Bright Holy See ignited a deep anger in her heart, anxious to smash the other person into pieces.

"Well, where's the idiot, how can you speak here?"

Ignaz apparently could not remember the young Liliana. When he faced the accusations, he snorted on the spot and retorted, "The God of Light has long since fallen. There is no God in this world. The Pope ’s actions Why talk about betrayal, and sin? "

"But don't worry, the Pope will soon become a **** and become the only true **** in the world!"

There was an irresistible enthusiasm in Ignaz's expression as he spoke, as if in the next step he was about to transcend all beings and step on everything under his feet.

"A big breath!"

With a yell, the already sharp atmosphere of the scene was broken again.

Following the source of the sound, I saw nearly seven or eight hundred heavily armed knights outside the temple gate, riding on fast horses and rushing all the way.

The leader of this elite cavalry team is Charles, the rebel leader of the Empire, and his mentor Andrew Highway.

Beside them, there were two archbishops, Edward and James, who were rescued with the old pope.

"Ignaz, you bewitch your father and fool the people of the empire. It's so sinful! Now that you don't know how to repent, you're still trying to become a god? It's ridiculous!"

Charles and his mentor led the elite knights all the way into the temple, facing his father, angered on the spot, "Father, you know that blasphemy is a great sin, but you are stubborn and obsessed, for your own greed It's ridiculous to bet on the entire empire! "

"Don't you always want to know why your child is against you? That's why!"

At the moment, Charles's words made the Emperor Emperor Carlos angry enough. If he was not in a remote temple now, he would have ordered that Charles be dragged down for heavy accountability.

In addition, although there were not many men and horses brought by Charles, his indomitable momentum and firm conviction brought by the fanatics will also save many imperial troops on the scene.

Many imperial troops at the scene were shaken in their mentality because of Charles' righteousness.

"Your Majesty, please stop."

At the same time, the old pope Nasadel turned to look at the imperfect emperor Carlos, "You and I are also old-fashioned, Ignaz has committed the crime of blasphemy. As an old friend, I advise you, Hurry up! If you can truly regret it, the Lord of Light may be light on you, otherwise all of you will be punished by God! "

In the last sentence of the exit, the old pope's coercion suddenly broke out. The pressure accumulated by everyone at the scene immediately increased, so that the Imperial Army and the Protestant Guards who were present in the line were tight, and even the palms holding the weapons were overflowing. Sweat.

"Nassadel, the persevering man is clearly you!"

The emperor Carlos knew that the morale of his army was falling, and immediately stared at his eyes and shouted loudly, "The **** of light has long fallen, so we humans need a new god, which is my pope Ignaz! Huh, If we really commit a sin of blasphemy, where is the god? Where is the punishment? "

With the loud voice of the emperor Carlos, the energy of his king was revealed in a moment.

Charles and the Dark Witch, who had just had some influence, were immediately suppressed by the Emperor Carlos. The affected morale of many Imperial and Protestant Guards at the scene began to recover quickly, and many people even made preparations for battle.

The empire and Protestant forces are now clearly regaining their dominance, and their strength is far stronger than those of Charles and the Dark Witch.

With this absolute advantage, the emperor Carlos and the pseudo-pope Ignaz could almost completely destroy Charles and others with almost no effort.

"Sir Carlos, as your old friend, I regret your choice."

The old Pope Nasadel, in absolute disadvantage, did not panic at all, but shook his head rather regretfully, "All those who depart from the bright master will be punished by the master!"

The old pope glanced over everyone at the scene, and suddenly opened his arms, "My Lord of Light has returned! O Lord, please listen to your callers!"

"My Lord, please listen to your followers!"

The three princes Charles, Holy Magister Andrew, Liliana, and all the knights brought by Charles all fell to their knees and began to pray with the old pope.

"Well, yes, Lord Bright has returned!"

Behind the old pope, the dark witch Judy "knocked down" and fell to his knees. "My Lord, please drop down the Holy Flame and burn these blasphemers!"

As Judy knelt and prayed almost fanatically, female thieves, Goblin, half-giants, and even Lich companions all fell on their knees and prayed loudly.

They are dark creatures that have been on the verge of civilization and have long been despised and oppressed by humans. They have long had deep grievances against the emperor and the Protestant Pope.

Fortunately, the great Light God is willing to accept them. Right now, it is a good time for them to launch revenge on those in power in the human race. Therefore, their prayers at this time seem extremely devout.

"Here, these filths are messy, what's going on?"

The imperial emperor Carlos frowned, and the sight of this illustrious city really surprised him.

Especially the black people who were despised by human beings have always been synonymous with dirty and barbarous, deceitful and cruel, but now they will pray on their knees like humans, which is far beyond his imagination.

Not only the emperor Carlos, the imperial army present, but also the Protestant guards, were all deterred by the sight of this many prayers.

Human expressions, actions, and momentum can imitate camouflage. Only the belief that piety reaches the extreme can definitely not be disguised.

Seeing Charles, the Lady of Darkness, and others, regardless of the danger of conflict between the enemy and me, the pious spirit of praying directly on his knees really frightened the Imperial and Protestant Guards at the scene.

This made the soldiers at the scene can't help but guess. Did the bright **** really return?

"This, this is ..."

As the leader of the Empire's Protestant religion, the pseudo-pope Ignaz was suddenly shocked, his face turned blue instantly.

What he feared was not the rebels formed by Charles, nor the chaos brought by the dark witch Judy, nor the old pope who escaped the inquisition, but the channel of unbelievable faith in front of him!

There is nothing wrong. With his almost divine personality, he can clearly see the channel of faith that is closely connected to people's souls.

Now, whether it is the rebels formed by Charles or the chaos brought by the dark witch Judy, they all have a firm channel of faith! Even the channel of faith once broken by the old Pope Nasad has been restored.

What does all this mean?

There is no doubt that these people have a very firm common belief.

Is it ... Bright God, really returned?

Without waiting for the pontificate Pope Ignaz to think too much, a golden light that changed the color of the situation suddenly burst into bloom.

"Wow!"

The air shook, the clouds rolled, and the heavenly gate with a thousand rays of light suddenly opened in the sky above the temple.

A powerful angel holding a silver sacred gun with six wings stretched behind him, flew from the gate of heaven first.

It was Wu Hui's 9th-level archangel, St. Luke!

Behind St. Luke, the eight-level four-winged archangel Augustus led seven war angel squads and one hundred kingdom guards who control the Pegasus. The airspace of the temple was completely blocked.

The powerful combat power and might of the Angel of War needless to say, the strength of the hundred kingdom guards who control the Pegasus should not be underestimated.

All of them are composed of gods with combat talents, the lowest level of which has reached level 5, coupled with excellent flying mounts, and the weapons that are called holy weapons in the lower world, the individual combat ability is extremely excellent. At the moment, led by Augustus and 7 angel squads, don't look at only a few hundred people, but the majestic power they radiate is not enough for the whole army.

"Battle, angel of war!"

"There is also a six or six archangel!"

In the temple, the imperial emperor Carlos and the pseudo-pope Ignaz had their eyes widened, and they murmured.

The soldiers brought by the two of them were all pale and sweaty on the back.

Now that so many angels and the gods who control the Pegasus appear, are the bright gods in the rumors coming back?

At the thought of this, Carlos and Ignaz were beating their hearts, and the troops they brought were already shaking morale and began to plummet.

At the same time, the kingdom of God.

"It seems to work well."

As the bright **** of today ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Wu Hui is watching all this happening in the Nether.

At the moment, he has exhausted all the existing main forces of the kingdom of God, and indeed brought great blows to the emperor Carlos and the pseudo-pope Ignaz.

However, to completely dismantle this hostile force, this level of morale blow is far from enough.

Although Wu Hui has now dispatched his main power of the kingdom of God, together with believers such as Charles and the dark witch Judy, the combat power and number of soldiers are still not as good as those of the emperor Carlos and the pseudo-pope Ignaz.

This also made Wu Hui feel very sorry, who made him a **** now lacks divine power and believers seriously, and even the broken godhead and the impoverished kingdom of God have not been repaired. Otherwise, with the ambitions of Carlos and Ignaz, he was pinched to death in minutes?

Reality really makes people helpless. Fortunately, Wu Hui was well prepared.

...
