It turns out... that's what happened!
Mayne stared intently at this vision, and the shock in his heart couldn't be further enhanced.
The transformation ceremony of the God's Punishment Army was actually invented by witches. In order to defeat the devil, they did not hesitate to sacrifice their own kind... How many people would stand up on the spot and scold her for her ruthlessness
The final result was beyond his expectations. After half an hour, no one stood up. Even the witch who questioned the ceremony did not openly object to what Akaris said. She just gritted her teeth and slammed the table down. Satire! Killing many witches with your own hands is for the continuation of the witches. Is there anything more ridiculous than this!
But she was right, an older witch said, we are born out of mortals after all, and when all mankind perishes, witches cease to exist.
Conversely, no matter how many witches are sacrificed in the transformation ritual, new witches will always appear to replace them. The more mortals, the more witches, Elaine shrugged.
Will God's Punishment Army definitely defeat the devil? someone asked.
I don't know, Akalis said again, no one knows the answer until I try. The failure of the previous two battles of divine will has already explained many problems, that is, the power of the devil is far greater than ours, and only the red mist restricts their actions. This means that even if we create a large number of warriors of divine punishment, we may not be able to obtain Final victory. She paused, but you should know my style.
Elaine smiled and said, even if there is only a slight chance, she must do her best.
I would like to follow you around.
For the continuation of the witch.
I don't want to admit defeat either.
Everyone stood up and saluted the Witch King.
The witch who questioned was the last to stand up and said: I hope you are right.
So it was decided, Akalis nodded, and it could be seen that she was not surprised by this result, and the next step was to convince the other members of the federation.
They don't necessarily listen to you, the older witch said. If you want to carry out the transformation of the God's Punishment Army without resistance, the witch cannot exist as a privileged one, the federation must be dissolved, and everything that happened in the past must be completely buried.
I will try my best to convince them that Akalis's voice is firm, and if they can't accept it, Meteor City will push forward this plan alone and recreate a new order.
Then the picture disappeared... The darkness engulfed everything again, and when the light in the secret room returned to normal, Mayne found that his back was soaked in cold sweat, and his mind was dizzy.
"You look tired, do you need me to help you out?" Zero walked over and asked.
"No, go and open the door!" he gasped.
After the metal door was pushed open, Mayne stumbled out of the hallucination room, ran down from the prayer table with his mouth covered, and knelt down in front of O'Brien.
"When the magic stone is activated, it will automatically reflect the image in your mind, so it is normal to feel uncomfortable," the Pope whispered, "The first time I touched these, I had the same reaction as you, and I can recover after a rest. "
"Why do I have nothing to do?" Zero asked while holding the Pope's arm.
"Because you are a witch, your body has long been accustomed to the operation of magic," O'Brien smiled kindly. "Whether it is endurance or resistance, witches are generally much better than mortals."
Mayne took a long time to calm his breath, "Is this the... origin of the church?"
"That's right, Akalis later led the city of Fallen Star to fight against the witches from the other two cities, and finally won the victory, and formulated new rules. The witch is no longer the one chosen by the gods, but the evil one who was lured by the devil. . This war lasted for nearly a hundred years and is known in the history books as the Battle of Faith."
"Did she live that long?"
The Pope shook his head, "Not long after Akalis established the church, she died with another transcendent. The second Pope inherited her will and continued to lead the army to fight until the other two factions were completely subdued. It's a pity, This battle severely damaged Sancheng's vitality and almost lost its control over the world. The mortals who were unwilling to participate in the battle of witches began to take root in this narrow continent, leading the locals to reclaim and build, and gradually formed the current four Great Kingdom."
For some reason, O'Brien became more and more energetic as he talked, and even his voice became coherent, no longer feeling weak before.
"Although the church has cleaned up those remnants many times, including the mortals who do not belong to Starfall City, the pattern of the world has been formed. Due to the lack of follow-up, the church has not been able to complete the unification of the continent. All this is rooted in the witch king. Died too early."
"Nataya, whom she regards as a friend, not only did not accept her plan, but also suddenly attacked Akalis at the meeting. This scene is recorded in the complete scripture." The Pope sighed, "If she still Alive, the battle of faith is enough to end fifty years early. At that time, the church can take advantage of the situation to unify the continent after accepting all the witches. No one could have imagined that this delay will be delayed until now."
Maine wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Your Majesty, I don't know something. Why are the popes in the front all being witches, but all the people in the back are ordinary people?"
"Zero, you step back first," O'Brien said after a moment of silence.
"Yes."
After the Pure One left, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Because of cowardice and cowardice."
"What...?" He was startled, wondering for a moment if he heard it wrong.
"No, child, you heard that right." O'Brien seemed to see through his mind, his eyes were shining, as if he had returned to his youthful appearance, "In order to restore the witch's spirit after defeating the devil. Glory, Akalis once stipulated that the Pope must be held by the supernatural. However, super witches are very rare, and it is not always possible to find suitable candidates. Later, there were also some outstanding ordinary witches who served as the pope, but cowardice and cowardice are like The poisonous snake in my heart cannot be stopped once it appears. The archbishop, who is a mortal, is afraid that he will be punished by the oppressed witch one day, and directly usurps the position of the pope."
Mayne's eyes widened, "So the popes after that are..."
"That's right, we are all timid people who have stolen the sacrifices of witches," the Pope let out a sullen breath. "No matter what happens in the future, the church will bury this secret forever." He paused, "As for the battle of divine will. The truth about it is all recorded in the Temple of Secret Secrets, and now it's up to you to bear all of this and keep going. Even giving up... is a wise choice."
After saying these words, he suddenly relaxed, as if he had taken off his heavy load, and lay down on the cart.
give up? If you give up, who else will take over this position? But before Mayne could think about it, he had already discovered what was wrong with O'Brien. His physical condition had taken a sharp turn for the worse. His spirited appearance just now seemed to be only a brief flashback, but now his eyes were spreading rapidly, and the light was fading a little bit.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty O'Brien!" Mayne stepped forward and shook the other party anxiously, but he just stared blankly at the ceiling, his lips slightly opening and closing, as if he was mumbling something.
At the last moment, Mayne seemed to hear the other person saying, "Sorry, kid.".
