Main Volume Chapter 144: The Truth of Ancient Wars
Hearing Zhang Yun's words, Pope John understood and did not doubt it. He just responded quietly: "Okay, follow me, I will take you to see him!"
"At the same time, I want to ask you a favor!"
Now it was Zhang Yun's turn to be confused: "What?"
Pope John said, "Please help me find out why Edward wanted to betray the Holy City. No matter who asks, he is unwilling to tell the truth. If you have contacted Ajid, you can try, maybe he will speak."
actually……
Because you are an angel of God...
Zhang Yun nodded: "No problem."
Soon, under the leadership of Pope John, Zhang Yun came to the prison where Edward was imprisoned. He ordered all the guards to go out and open the silent barrier that prevented anyone from eavesdropping, leaving only Zhang Yun and Edward in the prison.
Um……
Let's start with the standard process...
Insight!
Eh? Not a professional like Pope John?
This holy city is quite interesting. The leaders in charge are ordinary people, while the high-level professionals are just workers... It seems that they don't have the idea that power is supreme?
Take another look at the introduction.
The Archbishop of the Divine Life Church, who betrayed the Divine Life Church and God, and cooperated with Ajid to destroy the Holy City, and some other messy things, are all known information and are completely worthless.
How to ask this?
After reading it, Zhang Yun frowned, touched his chin, and fell into deep thought.
Edward, who was reading, suddenly closed the book in his hand, pushed it to the edge of the table, raised his head, showed a friendly and faint smile, and stared into Zhang Yun's eyes.
Zhang Yun: “?”
has a problem!
This guy has something wrong with his eyes!
Just like Kuura!
It seems like he has known me for a long time!
After thinking for a while, Zhang Yun spoke first: "Bishop Edward, why do you want to join Ajid? As far as I know, they don't seem to have any benefits for you? They didn't even give you a basic monster body!"
Edward asked back, "Do you want to know?"
Um?
You said that?
Does this mean you don't intend to hide it?
And we've never met before, but you didn't even ask who I was first, but went straight to the point?
interesting……
So Zhang Yun came forward and said, "Of course, if you are willing to talk, I am definitely willing to listen."
Edward picked up the wine glass beside him, poured a glass of delicious red wine with his shackled hands, and placed it in front of Zhang Yun: "Don't worry, have a drink first, chat, and then I will tell you slowly..."
Zhang Yun asked, "What are you talking about?"
Edward said, "The ancient book in Alberia records the ancient war between the inheritor and the ancient evil god. You should know about this, right?"
Zhang Yun: “…”
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Yun nodded and said, "I know."
Edward smiled slowly: "Haha, it seems that Lucina still trusts you very much. It is a secret that must not be passed on to others, but she actually told you directly."
Zhang Yun frowned: "Does this have anything to do with your joining Ajid?"
Edward waved his hand and said, "Stop, don't talk about joining them. I have never thought of joining them. This is just pure cooperation. I need them and they need me."
After a pause, Edward continued, "As for the connection between the two...it's very important, extremely important. You'll understand after you listen to me!"
Then, Edward told the truth about the ancient war.
…
Thousands of years ago, beings who called themselves ancient gods ruled the world. They possessed great power to crush everything, but their minds were like humans: competitive, scheming, fond of war, extravagant and debauched... and they viewed all other intelligent creatures as ants, believing that the meaning of their existence was to serve them. No matter what strange requests they had, they must satisfy them at any cost.
If not satisfied, no matter what the reason is, it will be regarded as disrespectful and will be punished by his supreme divine power.
Therefore, they were given the name of ancient evil gods and were considered the greatest evil in the world.
All intelligent creatures wanted to rebel, but unfortunately due to limitations in talent, ability, knowledge, etc., every uprising was easily broken up by the ancient gods, just like an ant trying to shake a tree, overestimating their own capabilities.
This situation continued until the group of Outer Gods appeared...
Just as recorded in the ancient book treasured in the Kingdom of Alberia, a great being who calls himself a god has come to the world, bringing with him the ultimate power that can transform ants into dragons - inheritance!
With the help of inheritance and gods, all intelligent races united and worked together to seal the ancient evil gods one by one, like a spark that spreads across the prairie, unstoppable.
Then, along with the dying struggle of the remaining ancient evil gods, the fire of revolution spreads across the land. The world is about to be reshuffled and usher in a brand new era!
but……
Those gods believed that the victory of this revolution was false. Even if it could temporarily bring peace to the world, it would not last forever!
As long as they are gone, over time, there will be no limit on the creatures that possess the inheritance, and they will surely become new ancient evil gods, once again ruling the world with overwhelming power.
The warrior who defeated the dragon will eventually become a new dragon...
Therefore, if we want to truly enter a new era, we must completely seal up the two powers of "Ancient Evil God" and "Inheritance", let everyone start from scratch , and use the most primitive method to restore peace to the world.
That is to say...
The next chapter recorded in that ancient book would seal all the ancient evil gods, kill all their inheritors, erase the memories of this period, and let all the stories be buried in the long stream of history.
If new successors appear in the future, find them and kill them, leaving no chance for them to rise.
Only in this way.
Only in this way can the balance of this world be maintained.
…
Edward took a sip of red wine and said slowly: "This buried history, except for me and the God Punishers under my jurisdiction... no one in this world knows about it."
After a pause, he put down his wine glass and said slowly: "Even the royal family of the Kingdom of Alberia, who have the ancient book that records history, only know the first half of the ancient war. They don't know the second half at all."
"Lucina should have told you this."
"The next chapter of the ancient book was torn out and has never been found, right?"
"oh!"
"correct!"
"And the current Pope John XVI!"
“He doesn’t know either…”
After hearing this, Zhang Yun was shocked. Could this be the shocking secret mentioned in Kuula's introduction? A historical ?
He quickly asked, "Does Kuula know?"
Edward nodded: "Yes, I told her about this when she was very young, and let her join the God's Punishment Army until she became the commander of the God's Punishment Army now."
"Her inheritance is called 'Valkyrie'. She controls the power of holy angels. It is a weapon bestowed by God on the Divine Punishment Army to eliminate other inheritors."
"You should have seen the battle in the Holy City, right?"
