Volume 7 Coral Chapter 644: Everyone Kneel Down
Three days passed in a flash.
During this period, the same priest named Lan Yan came to the dungeon again.
What disappointed him terribly was that Neil Lucius was still unwilling to reveal any information about the "Snake", and even remained silent as if he had accepted his fate.
During this conversation, Chen Lun learned the name of Father Lan Yan, Willis, from a bishop who was traveling with him.
Before leaving, Father Willis squatted in front of Neil holding a candle and said in a cold tone:
"In fact, even if you didn't tell me, the church has found some clues based on the characteristics of your 'Holy Fire'... The abilities of 'taming animals', 'divination' and 'flickering' are very similar to a path called 'destiny' in the outside world."
“…”
Neil kept his head down and made no response.
Willis took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"If you are unwilling to reveal the information about the 'snake', then tell the church about 'fate' and the other paths of knowledge you have mastered. I will promise you in the name of the Holy Land of Klein that your wife Lavra and your children will live a peaceful and happy life, and no one will dare to disturb them."
Neil's body trembled slightly when the other party mentioned his family.
But he still didn't speak.
Father Willis waited for several minutes, then he sighed heavily, stood up and gestured.
"Take him to the Plaza de España. Your Majesty and the Pope have been waiting for him for a long time."
"Yes, Lord Willis."
Two priests of the Church of Redemption untied the shackles on the wall, but Neil's hands and feet were still shackled, and they carried him out of the cell.
The chain dragged on the ground, making a hissing sound due to friction.
Neil was brought to the surface by the clergy along the dim corridor lit by torches, and arrived at the center of a square amid the curses and onlookers of countless residents of the royal city.
The two redemption priests let go of his hands, and Neil fell to his knees.
Facing the dazzling light, he raised his head and saw a large group of people sitting on a high platform in the distance.
Royal family members and imperial dignitaries dressed in luxurious attire were talking to each other in groups of three or four, casting curious but indifferent glances at him.
His Majesty the Glorious Emperor Schroeder is right in the front.
Queen Tori was also sitting beside him.
They were facing away from the light, so their expressions could not be seen clearly, but Neil could guess that it was definitely a look of hatred and indifference.
On the other side of the platform, sitting parallel to the royal family, was a group of clergymen from the Church of Redemption wearing blue robes. There were dozens of bishops present alone, among whom the Pope of the Imperial Church, Domingos, slowly stood up.
This is an old man, with a wrinkled face, his deep eyes looking down, he opened his mouth and said:
"You despicable servant of the devil, Neil Lucius, for the past twenty-six years, you have slaughtered church members, persecuted the people of the empire, lurked in the church to steal the glory of our Lord, and blasphemed the gods... At this moment, do you feel like repenting and atonement?"
Neil, covered in wounds, knelt on the ground, staring at Him.
The expression was indescribably strange.
It was a kind of almost comfortable calmness, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose into a mocking smile.
Old Pope Domingos frowned slightly, and the bishops and Father Lan Yan had gloomy expressions. Even His Majesty Schroeder couldn't help but look grim after seeing Neil's ridicule.
"Confession? Atonement?"
Neil gradually felt his body begin to recover rapidly under the familiar power.
The wounds healed and I regained my strength.
He said lightly and actually stood up from the ground.
The two redemption priests who were in charge of watching over Neil behind him changed their expressions when they saw this. They were about to push him down again, but suddenly they found that their hands were covered with pale crystals.
"snake……"
Before the Redemption Priest could utter a word, he was completely transformed into a crystal statue and lost all breath of life.
"You are the one who needs to repent! Your Holiness!"
Neil yelled loudly.
He immediately used his extraordinary strength, and the shackles on his hands and feet were instantly burned into molten iron by a ball of flame, dripping down.
"It is the Glorious Empire that needs to atone! It is His Majesty Schroeder and the Church of Redemption! It is the Blue Pope of the Holy Land Klein and a group of Blue Flame Priests! You! Have angered the great Lord Snake, now! Right now! Kneel down in front of me!!"
Neil's roar echoed throughout the square.
The last word "kneel" was spoken in a suddenly different voice, a deep, magnetic voice that didn't sound like Neil's voice at all.
"absurd!"
His Majesty Schroeder angrily smashed the teacup in his hand.
Queen Tori, the prince and princess, and other royal family members and dignitaries all changed color. They had never seen such an arrogant death row prisoner.
The whole audience was in an uproar.
Countless residents of the royal city who were watching were arguing in a mess, with curses mixed with excited roars ringing out all around.
At the Redemption Church seats on the high platform, seven or eight Blue Flame priests stood up in unison, and a group of bishops and priests also stood up angrily, glaring at Neil in the center of the square.
"Blasphemy against His Majesty, blasphemy against the Church, blasphemy against the Gods..."
Pope Domingos said grimly, with his hands behind his back.
"In the name of the candlestick goddess 'Stiko', I sentence you to hell!"
"Don't you understand?"
Neil's voice completely transformed into that of another strange man.
He suddenly raised his hand and pulled his shadowy palm downwards.
"Everyone kneel down!!"
Buzz——
An extremely terrifying gravitational force instantly enveloped the entire place.
There was a loud bang.
The platform seemed to be hit hard by an invisible giant hand and suddenly collapsed, and the ground shook.
Amidst countless exclamations.
The top leaders of the Church of Redemption emerged from the smoke and dust, covered in dust. Except for Pope Domingos and seven Blue Flame priests who remained standing, the rest of the bishops and clergy were either kneeling or falling down, with expressions of shock and anger on their faces.
“Ahh! Damn it!!”
"Flame Gods above! I will not surrender!"
"Devil! What on earth have you done?!"
The roars did not affect "Neil" at all.
His eyes were completely covered by crystals, and the shadow of a rusty crown appeared above his head. He was wearing a gray cloak and holding an ivory scepter in his hand, standing alone in the center of the square.
"kneel!"
"Neil" pointed with the scepter in his hand.
Domingos's face changed. As the demigod of holy fire [Door in Fire], he was unable to resist the invisible gravity, and his legs creaked.
He snorted coldly, and azure flames burst out from his whole body.
raging!!
Flames burst out from the bodies of the seven Blue Flame Priests behind him, forming a column of fire that spiraled upwards into the sky.
"Neil" raised his left hand and waved it downwards towards the royal family.
boom!!
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
"Protect His Majesty!"
Amid the exclamations of many guards, the king, who was just an ordinary man, fell along with the queen and royal nobles, and was buried by countless rubble and dust.
Screams were heard from the crowd of onlookers.
The originally grand and solemn "Devil's Trial Ceremony" turned into a chaotic farce. The royal family and the church were completely unable to resist the terrible devil.
"Devil! After all these years, you finally show up!"
Pope Domingos spreads his arms.
“Go to hell!!”
The flames behind him suddenly exploded and turned into a sea of blue fire.
A giant, whose body was covered with lightning and whose mouth and nose spewed plague sparks, gradually walked out carrying a huge door.
"Neil" looked up and suddenly understood.
"The power of the [Ocean Giant] and the [Reverser]..."
The big door on the giant's back slowly opened, and bursts of noisy singing came out from it, as if countless people were singing inside the door, but the rhythm and tone were completely out of place, giving people a weird and discordant feeling.
And if you listen carefully, the song sounds more like a vicious curse.
The voice suddenly froze "Neil".
'Huh? This is not the power of the plague or the deep sea path, but a completely new and unfamiliar path... Did the old guy absorb the path of heaven or the wasteland? Interesting! '
By virtue of his extremely high position, he was directly immune to the influence of the singing.
Soon, the figure became taller and taller.
Under the astonished gazes of the Church of Redemption and countless people present, the giant white-scaled python clinging and entwined on his arm was revealed in the "Cang King Posture".
This was the limit of what Neil could bear.
But it is enough to deal with these people at the moment.
Boom——
The giant python, which was tens of meters long, swung its tail and instantly hit the fire giant and the door.
Terrifying high-temperature sparks flew in all directions.
Countless onlookers were touched by the sparks and turned into human torches on the spot, burning to ashes in just a few seconds.
The entire square was engulfed in flames.
Panic spread and screams were heard everywhere.
The contamination radiation from high-level forces unknowingly affected tens of thousands of people present.
"I am guilty!"
Pope Domingos closed his eyes in agony as he watched the residents of the royal capital die tragically in the aftermath.
It was the church’s carelessness that killed these people.
It was his underestimation of Neil Lucius that led to this disaster.
boom!!
The Old Pope revealed His mythical creature form.
A tornado-like column of azure fire twisted in the square, as if mourning for the tragic deaths, or dancing towards the fire gods.
The Blue Flame priests followed closely behind, revealing their own forms as mythical creatures.
They were all pillars of fire, spinning and twisting.
Their bodies are more than ten meters tall. Although not as tall as the Pope's pillar of fire that is tens of meters tall, it is still enough to be intimidating.
The giant white-scaled python was wreaking havoc in the square, rampaging through the sea of fire.
He opened his bloody mouth, and a huge ivory-carved cross sword shot out from it. Then he swept it across, cutting off seven or eight pillars of fire in half!
A dazzling square crystal fell in a blind spot where no one noticed.
With a bang, a brilliant dust mist burst out.
The pale lichen began to spread in all directions, extinguishing the flames and engulfing the earth until it covered the entire square and even further away...
…
…
…
The battle did not last long.
In less than twenty minutes.
The residents who had fled the square for a long distance suddenly found that the earth-shaking noise had suddenly subsided.
People gradually stopped and looked back.
I saw black smoke billowing from the direction of the square.
Some bold people, driven by curiosity, turned back.
What came into view was a blindingly glittering patch of crystalline lichen covering the ruins of the square.
In the empty space, there was a group of charred figures kneeling down in unison.
Judging from the vaguely visible wreckage all around, those figures are all clergymen of the Church of Redemption!
The sound of wailing and pain suddenly rang out from farther away.
Unfortunately, Queen Tori was killed by falling rocks in the aftermath.
The Crown Prince, members of the royal family and dignitaries suffered numerous casualties. Although His Majesty Schröder survived, he was seriously injured.
The servants were in a panic, running around like headless flies.
Countless knights and soldiers quickly blocked the scene, but no one dared to step into the square again, because at the edge, countless human-shaped crystal statues stood, warning newcomers that this would be the fate of touching the pale lichen!
Panic and chaos are rapidly brewing.
As for the culprit of this disaster, Neil Lucius...
But it disappeared without a trace!
This news acted like a catalyst, causing the originally panic-stricken and chaotic atmosphere to quickly reach its peak.
But no one knew that "Neil" had already arrived at the underground secret room of the Cathedral of Redemption and stopped in front of a huge shrine at the deepest part.
Behind him were church members lying in disarray.
In the shrine in front of him, a ball of blue flame burned brightly.
Chen Lun controlled Neil's body and walked slowly forward.
The rather cold blue light of the fire shone on the extremely surprised face.
'This is?!'
In the firelight, a picture was faintly revealed. No, to be more precise, it was a projection.
It was a huge and strange "machine", with countless black thick ring-shaped wires connecting the sockets of the "machine", and hundreds of luminous mirrors, either hanging or attached to the surface, revealing densely packed text.
'The supercomputer at the Federal Research Center...'
