When the darkness cleared, Mayne found himself standing in an empty square.
Everything in front of me has a deja vu... low-slung houses, a monastery still under construction, and a brand new stone church. The mud is dry and solid, with no trace of snow, the sun above the head is like a shadow in the clouds, and the breeze blowing across the cheeks from time to time is warm and gentle, not like being in the evil moon at all.
Wait, he suddenly realized that this is the old holy city when he just became a believer? In the square at that time, it was the christening ceremony presided over by His Majesty O'Brien.
"It turns out that the place that impressed you most is here," Zero's voice suddenly sounded behind her, "it's really a good place."
Pure Ones!
The short-term disconnected memories were all connected in an instant, and he felt a sudden burst of anger. He turned around, his eyes were firmly against the other party, and he said word by word, "Zero, are you crazy!"
How dare she use her powers on herself!
Moreover, why didn't the God's Stone of Retribution that he carried work
"I know exactly what I'm doing," Zero smiled, "but you... I'm afraid you're still in the dark. It doesn't matter, this is the world of consciousness, and there's too much time to run out, I can explain it to you slowly. listen."
In the battlefield of the soul, Mayne is no stranger to this ability. In the world of the corroded, relying on consciousness alone to fight, the winner gets everything, and the loser loses everything. This is also an extremely rare summoning ability, and if you don't wear the Stone of God's Retaliation, it is almost inevitable. But... Damn, I clearly wear the Stone of God's Punishment!
He stretched out his hand and took out the sky blue spar from his close pocket. Under the sunlight, its polygonal outline showed a bright blue luster, and there was nothing unusual.
"Why?" Mayne gritted his teeth.
"Do you mean the divine stone?" Zero smiled and said, "It's very simple, its domain tremor has been smoothed out. Of course, for mortals, there is no difference at all."
Tremors smoothed out? The Pope couldn't help but widen his eyes. The only person who can remove the forbidden effect of the Stone of God's Punishment is Isabella, the Pure One.
This is... **naked betrayal!
Those goddamn bitches! Mayne felt the blue veins on his forehead burst, and his hands trembled slightly with the manic anger. He had long known that these tools were unreliable. When he was crowned, he should convert them all into God's Punishment Army! Trying to restrain this anger, he said bitterly, "When did it happen?"
"I don't know what she is doing, didn't you put me in prison and teach me a lesson?" Zero shrugged, "I just entrusted her to do it, that's all."
"A good word of entrustment! If it wasn't for the fact that you guys have planned for a long time, how could she have done such a blasphemous act so easily!" No, he suddenly condensed in his heart, even the two of them would not be able to do this... Take over the Pope After taking the throne, he lived in the bedroom that originally belonged to O'Brien's crown in the church, which was not only full of various institutions, but also a number of judgement warriors who had been guarding for a long time. Not to mention that there are several high-level divine stones on the bedside, which she uses every day, and there are guards accompanying her wherever she goes. How could she have a chance to start
For this reason, Mayne calmed down instead, "What are you trying to do, just to avenge my punishment? Even if you kill me, the entire cave under the hanging basket is the area of influence of the divine stone, and you can go to the Where to escape? Once you land, you will be seen by the long-awaited trial army, and then you will be arrested. Don't delusionally think that you can hide from the secret agency. When they start the torture and interrogation, you will find something like a few days ago. Flogging is like the itch of a goose feather."
"I don't plan to run away," Zero shook her head, "I want to replace you and take over the position of Pope."
"..." Mayne was stunned. He imagined all kinds of situations, but he did not expect to hear such an answer, "The pure become the Pope? But me! Do you think that if you kill me, they will recognize your power?"
"I don't need to show my face in front of many people, I just need to act as the pope's messenger," Zero said casually, "Look, His Majesty O'Brien also stays in the Temple of Secrets all the year round, and occasionally wears clothes when he goes out. Wearing a mask. In this case, who will find out that the Pope has changed?"
"You couldn't hide it at that time! Didn't you hear what I said just now? As soon as the cage falls and sees my absence, you will immediately be controlled by them!" Mayne growled, "Let me out now If it's too late, I can pretend that you haven't done such reckless things!"
"Once the battle of souls begins, it can't end," Zero smiled. "Also, they won't arrest me. You were wrong from the beginning."
won't arrest her... what does that mean? The Pope frowned and stared at the Pure, trying to see something in her eyes, but there was no hint of timidity or panic in those eyes except for the moving light that flickered. She didn't look away, but looked at herself quietly, as if she was stating a normal thing.
Mayne suddenly felt an electric light flash in his mind!
Even giving up is a wise choice.
I'm sorry kid.
He had a big mouth, but he felt his throat choked by a pair of big hands, barely making a sound. My heart kept sinking, like falling into an ice cave. After a long time, he said with difficulty: "Could it be that this is all O'Brien?"
"It seems that you finally understand," Zero raised her brows, "His Majesty the Pope has instructed all the guards and judgement warriors in the Secret Temple to never leave the underground, and the only one who obeys is the Pope. You are there. The church on the ground took the scepter, but it is still not the master of the secret temple." She chuckled, "Think about it, we are above the top of the cave, and the core organization of the church is under our feet, and this is the only place where we can Don't you think it's an excellent stage to avoid all the ground guards and not be affected by the God's Stone of Retribution?"
The pure put away his smile, the light in his eyes blooming like a flame, "This is also the battlefield arranged for us by His Majesty. When the battle of souls is over, the one who survives will become the true ruler of the church."
It turned out to be... such a thing! Mayne's throat is dry, the damn old guy, because he feels that he has stolen the power that originally belonged to the witch, is he going to use this method to atone for himself? It's ridiculous!
The gleaming look in the eyes of the other party is clearly a burning ambition, which is an emotion that is almost impossible to see in the pure people. Since they were born, they have been used as a tool for education, and they should be loyal to the top of the church. If it hadn't devoured those daring ones... No, hell, Mayne suddenly remembered what His Majesty had said to him before attacking the Wolfheart Kingdom.
I will send two pure ones to help you in battle, and no one can escape hunting from them.
Could it be that he never thought about the impact on Zero himself of capturing the memories of the Wolf King and the Clear Water Queen
Recalling O'Brien's last expression of relief, he finally realized the meaning of the other party's words before his death. Mayne gritted his teeth angrily, how could the old guy not consider this! In order to bring ambition back to the hearts of the pure, he had already begun preparations.
Is this what you want to see, His Holiness the Pope? ! .
