Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 228 Majesty
Under the pressure of the two cardinals, some backbones trembled, hesitated, and finally slowly put away the weapons in their hands.
The prestige of the cardinal is extremely high within the church, and even the bishops of other holy orders will make the middle and lower-level backbones of each department fear him.
Coupled with the huge crowds of figures surrounding the ruins of the building, they all felt the crushing despair.
"Assholes, how can we betray our beliefs!"
The middle-aged man saw that morale was weakening and some people's faith was shaken, and he became furious and roared:
"Don't forget, the goddess of night is watching us from behind!!"
"Your cowardice is a blasphemy against the goddess!!"
Several close associates around the middle-aged man also roared in anger.
After hearing this, the people who had been hesitant before were stunned for a moment, and their eyes gradually became determined.
Many dogmas and stories of faith within the church flashed through their minds.
All sufferings are tests from the Lord to us!
That’s right, now is the moment to test the sincerity of my faith!
Even if it means destruction!
In an instant, those who had hesitated before clenched their weapons again.
"The goddess will not favor you who have betrayed the Lord's faith..." Bishop Meng stepped out, gazing at the people in front of him with deep eyes. The nightmare power covered him. He did not dare to erode the spirits of the people in front of him on a large scale. Even if these people were in the initial stage, he would not be able to bear it if the world of hundreds of people invaded at the same time.
Therefore, he chose to create a dream projection.
This was a slight disturbance of consciousness, and everyone in the building immediately saw that behind the five cardinals in front of them, darkness was surging like fog.
Then, a passage slowly extended out from the dark fog.
The high and mighty goddess of night slowly appeared, only a blurry figure, but her commanding aura made everyone feel familiar and friendly.
That's the goddess.
It turns out that the goddess is standing on the opposite side of herself?
Could it be that we are really traitors?
Bang!
Under the gaze of the goddess, many people knelt down and discarded their weapons.
In the face of faith, those who remain "naked" are the most devout believers.
This was a deeply rooted idea within the church, and in a blink of an eye, most of the hundreds of people fell to their knees.
The others had stronger mental powers and saw that the goddess in front of them was rather blurry. Combining this with the rumored ability of the Dream Bishop, they immediately realized that they were being disturbed by the ability.
"Where I am is where your faith is."
Xu Shen said softly: "Since you insist on disobeying and betraying me, I will take back your right to live on behalf of the goddess."
"You usurp the throne of the Pope. The Goddess will come and punish you!"
The middle-aged man in the lead roared and waved his hand, "Kill!"
While roaring, he himself did not move, while others had already passed by him and rushed towards Xu Shen and others.
Xu Shen raised his palm quietly, and the silk threads condensed . These silk threads condensed and outlined a special shape like torque, and the silk threads turned into the shape of a chain.
whoosh!
Thin chains flew out.
The moment it left the palm, its speed increased rapidly and it gradually became larger, revealing a clear outline.
By the time it was 4 meters away, the chain had become as thick as a finger.
At the same time, the speed increased dramatically to a level comparable to that of a sniper rifle!
Puff puff puff!
Countless blood flowers bloomed.
The chains are like poisonous snakes of evil, crawling on flower stems in the darkness. Under the crawling of the chains, bright flowers of evil bloom.
Countless figures fell down and were linked together by chains. More than 20 people who tried to attack were all killed in an instant.
The initial state had no ability to resist the second state and was completely crushed.
Even if some anomalies have abilities that appear early, the degree of their abilities is too mild. Even if they are reconstruction systems, it is extremely difficult for them to survive if they receive fatal injuries in their initial state.
whoosh!
One of the chains rushed in front of the middle-aged man like a ferocious poisonous snake, and changed from rapid to extremely quiet in just a moment.
The tip of the chain stopped in front of his constricted pupils.
The middle-aged man's steps back froze in place, his expression horrified, as he watched the scene in disbelief.
These pieces of trash around me are not even capable of resisting at all?
His slightly plump body was trembling, and the fat and muscle fibers on his body seemed to be separating. His crotch became burning hot and urine was flowing down his trouser legs.
thump.
He knelt down.
"Your Holiness, I was wrong. Please forgive me , I beg you..."
His head thumped against the ground.
Those who were still hesitating about whether they had betrayed their faith in the goddess, when they saw this scene, they immediately realized that they had indeed been bewitched by the traitor.
The middle-aged man kowtowed repeatedly, but felt that there was silence around him.
There was only a ticking sound coming from one end of the chain.
That was the blood that flowed through the bodies of more than 20 people and slid down the chains.
The middle-aged man raised his head cautiously.
The venomous chain was still before his eyes.
Then the middle-aged man saw the young man outside the pillar at the end of the chain, and he smiled at him.
Like ridicule, like contempt, like disgust.
puff!
The chain flew out instantly, pierced into the eyeball, and penetrated from the back of the skull.
The chain flew upwards, pulling the middle-aged man's body into the air, and then fell to the ground without a sound.
Then the chain quickly shrank back and returned to Xu Shen's side, quietly dissipated, turned into flowing water-like force, and disappeared into the body.
All that was left at the scene were the bodies of more than 20 people lying in disarray.
Blood flowed out from the holes on the corpses, quickly dyeing the ground red.
The others who were kneeling buried their heads even lower, and then they felt liquid spreading from the sides, wetting their palms and foreheads that were pressed to the ground.
When I opened my eyes, I saw bright red blood flowing nearby.
This scene will be unforgettable for the rest of the people.
Xue Mei, Du Ming and others watched this scene silently, and became even more wary of the young man in front of them.
Even without relying on the A-level Ruin Beast, Xu Shen's own combat power has already reached a terrifying level.
In the brief moment when the Holy Sound Communication Department was suppressed before their eyes, everyone saw in the reality outside that there were guardian vehicles speeding towards them, accompanied by bursts of sirens.
Looking from the Ruins, they could even see the figures of the guards sitting in the core vehicle.
A total of five vehicles were dispatched, and the city-state guardhouse was on the west side of the cathedral.
The vehicle stopped outside the steps of the Holy Sound Communication Department's building. The guards in the vehicle got out and all released their eyes. They soon saw the church members standing in large numbers outside the building.
The guards' faces changed slightly and they became a little fearful.
A leading guard walked out from inside, looking extremely majestic.
He raised his hand slightly to stop the young guard beside him from speaking, looked around solemnly, and then all the power in his body surged, covering his whole body like boiling water.
Soon, this boiling force of the world allowed him to easily squeeze into the world of the world and stand in front of the believers.
At the same time, the eyes of the believers were all cast on him.
The guard captain's expression changed slightly, his brows furrowed slightly, and his hanging hands felt a little unnatural.
Even though he was in the second state, he felt pressured under the attention of many core members of the Black Light Cult.
This group of troublemakers... He secretly felt a headache.
At this time, as if receiving the message, the crowd slowly parted to make way.
At the end of the road, five cardinals stood on both sides, and at the end was a young figure.
The captain of the guard's throat rolled quietly, his expression still seemed calm, and he walked in with the separated crowd. People on both sides stared at him coldly, like two rows of well-trained soldiers.
Soon, the captain of the guard arrived at the end. He looked at the young man in front of him and was shocked. He didn't know what had happened to the Black Light Sect.
But he knew all the five cardinals next to him.
"Lao Du, what are you doing?"
The captain of the guard's expression softened and he became quite polite. He nodded to Xu Shen and then looked at Du Ming, whom he was more familiar with.
But today Du Ming did not have the gentle smile he had in the past. He just looked at him indifferently and said, "Someone betrayed our new Pope. The Pope is here to clean up the traitors in the church."
A new pope?
The captain of the guard was startled, his pupils contracted slightly, and he looked at the young man in front of him.
There is no doubt that it is the person in front of you.
Such a young Pope...what about Old Liu?
Could it be that Old Liu passed the throne to this person?
Or...
The captain of the guard didn't dare to think about it any further.
"Why, is there something wrong?"
Xu Shen looked at the other party quietly. The City Guard Bureau was responsible for maintaining the laws and order of the city, but if they intended to meddle in other people's business, he would also let them know that the future laws of the Black Light District would not be governed by the City Guard Bureau, but he would have the final say!
"No, nothing."
The captain of the guard felt the cold gazes of the bishops next to him, and a chill ran down his spine, as if he was in a tiger cage.
The official dignity on his face faded, he smiled bitterly and said, "I just came here to ask if there is anything you can help me with."
His gaze passed over Xu Shen's shoulder and saw many believers kneeling and bowing their heads in the ruins behind him, as well as the corpses lying in all directions.
His heart skipped a beat again.
More than 20 people died. This is definitely a major incident. If not handled properly, it will have extremely bad effects and cause a sensation.
But now...
"Oh..." Xu Shen heard the captain's words, turned slightly, and said, "Could you please help clean up the bodies for them?"
The captain of the guard wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt the gazes of the five bishops around him becoming increasingly cold. He forced a smile and said, "No problem. We specialize in this kind of thing and will definitely deal with them properly."
Xu Shen glanced at him and nodded slightly.
He then raised his foot and passed by the captain of the guard without even looking back.
At the moment they passed each other, the captain of the guard felt a breath of death floating away from him, as if he had passed through the gates of hell.
Xue Mei and others followed closely beside Xu Shen.
“Good job.”
When Du Ming passed by the middle-aged guard captain, he raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder. His expression became relaxed. He said something encouragingly and then walked away.
The rest of the core members of the sect followed that figure and left like a tide.
Only the captain of the guard was left standing alone in front of the ruins pillar.
The footsteps faded away from behind, and the captain of the guard felt relieved. His whole body seemed to relax, but the light in his eyes became dimmer.
Turning around, he saw the backs of the followers leaving in a large crowd.
The captain of the guard suddenly recalled his face when he was young and had just reported to the city-state guard bureau - young and energetic, standing upright, swearing an oath in front of the badge of justice, determined to eradicate all evil, all injustice, and uphold justice.
Now... He slowly turned around, looked at the more than 20 corpses behind the pillar, and chuckled softly.
…
Xu Shen led Du Ming and other cardinals away.
A large number of believers followed.
As they walked away, many guards got out of the vehicle that came from the City Guard Bureau and set up the ruins-breaking equipment.
Xu Shen looked ahead and strode forward, asking, "Let them handle it, is that okay?"
Du Ming kept the same distance as Xu Shen and said respectfully, "Don't worry. Emperor Liu has already arranged everything. Here , we have our say and the City Guard Bureau dare not say no. Many of them are believers of my religion."
really……
Xu Shen had already seen the clues from the performance of the previous guard captain.
Here, the Black Light Cult is already the king.
These were all Director Liu's strategies and arrangements. Xu Shen couldn't help but feel a bit of admiration and admiration.
Return to the cathedral.
Xu Shen looked around at everyone and said, "The Pope has passed the position to me. From now on, the church rules will remain the same. If any of you have outstanding performance, you can be promoted. In the future, I will set up a new holy department, which will require a lot of talents. Everyone will have a chance!"
"The Pope is wise!"
Du Ming bowed his head respectfully.
Others echoed in unison.
Xu Shen nodded slightly and briefly explained the matter of the Pope's formal succession, including the time of the succession ceremony, and then asked the backbone members of various departments to leave first.
After all, these backbones are stationed in various districts, and if they leave for a long time, there will be some impact.
"The matter of succession will be left to our Congregation for Divine Worship, please rest assured, Pope." Shi Lei said respectfully. He is the bishop of the Congregation for Divine Worship, in charge of all judicial ceremonies within the church.
Such meticulous work is totally inconsistent with his rough appearance.
Xu Shen nodded slightly. He was not in a hurry to officially succeed to the throne. It would be postponed for a month for the time being. He needed to fully control and understand the Black Light Sect first.
Although everything is under control now, he knows very little about the Black Light Cult. Except for the five bishops in front of him, he cannot even call out the names of the others. He can only subdue them by force, which will cause problems in the long run.
"The church also got a place to participate in the previous event at Xudong. Over the years, the church should have accumulated a lot of things, right?" Xu Shen asked.
There are very few Xubing circulating on the market. If you want to get stronger Xubing, you need to constantly integrate new Xubing.
The combat power improvement brought by the powerful Xu soldiers is extremely obvious. Xu Shen obtained the Black Light Sect not only for the sake of gaining this power. The only way is . Otherwise, like Director Liu, no matter how many plans he makes or how powerful he is, he cannot escape death in front of the king-level power, and everything will be in vain.
"have."
Xue Mei didn't talk much and had a rather low-key personality. He said, "In addition to the Xu soldiers, there are also golden apples and top-notch armor."
