A thin, piercing buzzing sound continued to echo around him. After Suli stood firmly on the ground, he squinted his eyes, looked up at the sky, and focused all his attention on the Pope in the sky.
The fallen snow that had accumulated on the surface a few days ago had been melted by the thick moisture in the air, and the dark clouds that gathered in the sky seemed to be fully prepared.
Until the white-robed Pope suspended in the sky burst out a beam of light that was visible to the naked eye, but in the blink of an eye, it almost blinded Sully.
The roar and explosion resounded throughout the world, not only making one's feet numb, but also making one unable to control the scene.
But Suli couldn't see it, but all the other humans who were strengthened by the power of elements could clearly see that after that attack, a bolt of lightning flashed from the thick and dark clouds in the sky, which was more powerful than the attack that the Pope had been accumulating for a long time!
“Bang—!”
The lightning that illuminated the sky and the earth left the Pope, who was so arrogant that he thought he was superior to all his peers, powerless to resist.
However, this man-made natural splendor was still a fraction slow.
The Pope's attack, which had been building up for a long time, arrived before the lightning.
Sully was protected by the raven and was unharmed under the impact. Egbert and Roy, who had run over with his remaining strength, were also helped by the raven and were barely saved.
But the others fell to the ground like dumplings, neither of them knowing whether they were alive or dead.
But what is more shocking is not the people affected by the attack.
It's buildings.
The quality of the buildings that have been strengthened by the elements is comparable to the hardest metal in modern society. Even if Su Li used the hardest teeth of human beings to gnaw on them for 100 years, it is estimated that he would not even get a scratch on them.
But a building of this magnitude still collapsed under the Pope's attack.
Those buildings that were not affected widely were almost instantly collapsed and started burning.
Thunder rumbled, thunderstorms continued to fill the sky, and heavy rain also came, but the burning palace buildings showed no signs of being extinguished.
"Did it succeed?" Suli's voice was a little muffled as he felt the warmth under the wings of the enlarged crow.
When Egbert and Roy worked together and fought in mid-air, Sully had an idea in his mind.
One of the reasons for winter thunderstorms is the strong convection caused by the temperature difference between the upper and lower parts of the body. The winter thunder phenomenon is not difficult to successfully trigger due to the superimposed effects of the water element, ice element and light element.
The difficulty was not that Sully had no way to guarantee that lightning would hit the Pope, but that every attempt to cause a natural high-altitude attack was ineffective.
That's the most terrifying thing.
Especially when you think about the number of gorillas per capita in the world...
Although Sully still had many backup plans, Egbert and Roy were the main forces in this siege.
If we temporarily lose two main forces, we will not be able to strike effectively...
Sully felt that even if he didn't cry, he would be unable to control himself and bury his head in the crow's wings like he was doing now.
The oversized crow casts its own shadow. Its wings not only cover Sully's entire body, shielding him from the Pope's attack, but also make Sully, who was feeling cold and uncomfortable due to the damp air, feel warm.
But the words spoken by the crow were warmer.
"Of course."
"Of course it worked!" Crow's usually calm voice was now filled with excitement.
It should be said that the crow had never seen such a method of attack before.
When lightning struck the Pope with the power of thunder, the people below were at the moment of being hit by the Pope's attack.
The Pope's attack was indeed outrageous. If Sully could have seen it with his own eyes, he would have understood that the essence of the attack was a sudden outburst of compressed terrifying power.
Its power is comparable to that of an atomic bomb, but its lethality to humans far exceeds that of an atomic bomb.
At least at this moment, Roy was sighing: "Under that attack, if there hadn't been Crow, I would have been seriously injured if not dead."
The ten people who were as powerful as the Patriarch of the Holy See all fell unconscious at this moment.
But the reason for their coma may not just be the shock.
You know, with so many of them spreading the water element together, the combined power of eight people only requires each person to use one third of their power, which is enough to cover the entire palace.
With only two-thirds of the reserve strength left, he could still fall into a coma...
At first, Du Ya did think that the Pope's attack power was too strong, because if he were allowed to do it, and gave it his all, he would be able to achieve this level with just this one attack.
But on second thought, I realized that those people were not just unconscious due to internal injuries caused by the impact.
Some of them definitely find the current situation unbelievable and are so frightened that they faint.
That's the Pope!
You know, they chose to join forces to target the Pope. Except for Suli's people and Ophelia who knew the truth, the others were just driven by one reason.
The king wanted the person who had accused him to death, and the ten believed that the pope was confusing the royal bloodline and wanted to steal the country. In order to maintain the orthodox inheritance of Amicbee, they chose to do this.
But even though the king and the Ten knew very little and felt the Pope's actions were shameful, they did not think the Pope had reached the point where he needed to be struck by lightning.
The thunder and lightning from the sky was just like the anger of God.
But everyone knows that this is not an action taken by God.
Nor is it the act of any one person with extraordinary power.
This is just a "waste" act without any elemental affinity.
Some people may think that if the people who follow orders do not take action, then the commander will also lose the corresponding value. But on the other hand, if a commander, without personally taking action, can create a scene comparable to the power of gods just by commanding others...
This will only be more terrifying.
When people use their own hands and feet, they are definitely more skillful than commanding the hands and feet of others.
The crow was shocked to see such a sight.
Egbert also opened his eyes wide and looked up at the figure of the Pope falling straight down from the sky.
As a fellow light elementalist, no one present understood better than him what the attack from the Pope just now meant.
"If the lightning had been a fraction slower, this palace building that had existed in Amiqbi for hundreds and thousands of years would not only have collapsed under the impact, but would have been ignited by the light element, making it impossible for ordinary rain to extinguish it."
In fact, the Pope's attack was only half effective. The thunder extinguished half of the Pope's "explosion" that was supposed to be 100% effective.
But only half of the effect can achieve this level...
Egbert was sweating profusely.
He suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, if the lightning had not appeared, would Raven still be able to perfectly block all of the Pope's attacks and prevent Sully from being hurt at all?
The conclusion is that the crow itself might suffer some minor injuries.
"Simply..."
"It's like a miracle, isn't it?" Roy smiled indescribably. He looked at Egbert. Perhaps they had developed a tacit understanding during the cooperation, so Roy decided to be considerate and tried to comfort the uneasy Egbert with words.
He said: "Don't think too much. Now, we just need to be thankful that we are still alive."
Egbert stared at Roy for several seconds with an idiotic look in his eyes. When Roy felt very uncomfortable, he blurted out: "I just want to say that Lord Suli, who can do such a thing, is definitely much more powerful than those gods who don't even know whether they exist or not."
Roy raised his hand with a sneer...
In the end, because the elements in his body had not yet recovered, he fell back silently.
Then he could only listen to Egbert's endless flattery in near isolation.
"As expected of Lord Suli, he can even control an attack that, to the world, is considered to be unique to gods. If there really is a god in this world, it would only be someone like Lord Suli."
Next, Roy couldn't help but listen to Egbert's praise of Sully.
It's the kind of outrageous words that make you uncontrollably get goosebumps all over your body just by listening to them.
But what really frightened Roy was that the idiot Egbert, in his current state of exhaustion, said to Sully who had walked out from under the wings of the crow: "Lord Sully must have known what would happen now, which is why he saved Roy from Lan Zhe who wanted to die."
These were the absurd words that Sully heard as he bent over, holding onto the crow's feathers and crawling out from under his wings.
"…If it really comes to that, I will definitely accept the title of prophet."
Sully was just complaining about himself, and expressing his complete powerlessness in dealing with some of Egbert's behaviors, but...
Egbert always manages to break Sully's bottom line.
"You must have known the value of a third-rate mercenary long ago, so you chose to let him live. Otherwise, his life would be meaningless except for making a living."
Even though Roy had no strength left, he couldn't help but kick him: "Are you saying what a human being should say?"
Egbert pretended not to hear him and continued, "Lord Sully's wisdom has long been comparable to that of the gods."
"If Lord Suli wishes to become a god someday, I suggest you use the title of God of Wisdom. If you wish to become a god, I will start preparing a temple for you from now on."
Suli: ???
Suli looked helpless: "I already said it was impossible to think that Roy would still be useful now at that time."
Sully also ignored the following words. As long as he didn't answer, he wouldn't feel that the concentration of perverts around him was too high.
Egbert gave a look of "I don't listen".
Roy looked serious for a moment, then asked Egbert, "Have you thought about the possible consequences if the thing you buried earlier is discovered by others?"
"It's not that detailed," Egbert answered honestly.
Before, I just thought of the possibility and how to guide that possibility into reality from his perspective.
Roy looked at Egbert as if he was a pervert: "So you finally thought of it, right?"
What will happen if the copy of Egbert's masterpiece with Sully's name blacked out gets out?
At first Roy couldn't have imagined the possibilities he has now.
Even if he thought about it carefully, Roy didn't think that people who had never met Sully would have absolute conviction in him because of a book.
After all, when Roy first saw the book, he just thought Egbert was too outrageous and always thought that Egbert thought too much. At that time, he didn't think Sully was really smart.
As for when she not only changed her attitude but also couldn't help but feel admiration for the young master...
That is also in line with the changes in reality.
If you had not seen the changes Sully had brought about, how could you have believed that everything described in the book was true?
Humans are not so easily gullible, right?
……perhaps.
But if Suli can bring out lightning...
Furthermore, without anyone knowing anything, the Pope, who had no idea what Sully was, had planned a conspiracy for many years, but it was completely uncovered by Sully.
Roy couldn't even help thinking that this lunatic Egbert must have been prepared long ago to spread Sully's plan through the "dead Godfrey".
Otherwise, why would he be talking about "temple" now!
Then when he asked, Egbert actually admitted it.
"Why did you nod?!"
"Then why are you asking me?"
Roy looked at Egbert seriously for ten seconds before saying, "Take me one."
Egbert gave him a look that said, "That's all you have."
Roy pretended not to see it and played blind.
Suli, who had no idea that Godefroy = Suli, looked from afar in the direction where the Pope fell and whispered, "Let's go and have a look."
That attack was not enough to kill the Pope, and the constant thunder in the sky at this time was only a means to restrain the Pope from continuing to fly up to the sky.
As long as he was still on the ground, the Pope, who did not have the ability to suppress attacks through aerial combat, would only become...
The turtle in the jar.
As soon as Sully finished speaking, the crow turned back into the size of an ordinary crow.
But when he wanted to squat on Sully's arm again, staying in this delicate position where he could attack or defend, Egbert squinted at him.
"Do you have any idea of your own weight?"
How big is a crow at its largest?
Egbert couldn't describe it exactly, but when the ravens first entered the town of Jisou, everyone in the town felt as if night had arrived.
You know, it's a big town with hundreds of thousands of people.
"But when I become smaller, my weight will also decrease accordingly." Raven paused and explained.
"No means no." Egbert still stopped him.
He even said in a firm tone: "I am not jealous of you being able to squat on the palm of Lord Suli. I just think that you are such a big crow standing on Lord Suli's arm and you have to let him raise his hand to let you stand firmly..."
"No matter how you put it, it's not appropriate."
Originally, Du Ya was still trying to find excuses for Egbert, wondering if he thought that because he stepped on Sully's arm, one of his arms would be under pressure while the other arm was not, causing the two arms to be of different thicknesses.
As soon as I heard what Egbert said, I understood everything.
The black crow opened its beak expressionlessly: "That's not envy at all, that's clearly jealousy."
Then, the crow stood steadily on Sully's arm.
Egbert: ………………
Roy asked him quietly, "Are you not mad to death?"
Then in the blink of an eye, Roy was stabbed all over by the daggers in his eyes.
"Tsk, you deserve it!" Roy hopes that everyone who gets along with Egbert can abandon their conscience.
After making this decisive comment, Roy followed Sully's footsteps.
The location where the Pope fell was not too far from them, but there was still some distance between them.
The white building surrounded by daphne flowers had long since collapsed into ruins. At this time, the Pope was located behind the building.
His body was numb.
After being hit head-on by the sudden lightning, the defenseless Pope was not only unable to engage in a repressive air battle, but his body also felt noticeably stiff.
But when he spotted Suli and the others, he couldn't help but reveal a cruel smile on his face.
"I thought weaklings and wastes like you were already dead."
"No way?" Roy was annoyed by the malicious look the Pope gave Sully. "You don't really think that all those unconscious people are dead."
"From what I can see, your biological daughter is still alive, though she is just barely alive."
"It's really too much. You don't even want to let your own daughter go..." Roy obviously thought of his past. His eyes couldn't help but become extremely dangerous. "Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. You really are a beast!"
Little did he know that after he said this, the Pope's expression turned even darker.
"So, wasn't it Lyra who spread the rumors in the city?"
Roy was stunned when he heard the name. He was not good at remembering any female names except his wife. Although he did not remember his wife's name, he just lived with his wife's name for a long, long time.
"Yes or no, what difference does it make to you?" Suli interrupted Roy's next words. Some remarks were not suitable for Roy's ears.
The Pope laughed grimly, and when he looked at Sully with his gloomy eyes, it was as if he was looking at a corpse.
The stiff fingers were raised slightly, and a light element ball was directly produced, which went straight to Suli's face.
This attack was once again unexpected to the Pope, as it was blocked by someone who had not appeared before.
"I mean, I can allow some things to be done to me. After all, I am more or less the kind of person who doesn't mind being cruel to myself."
A hoarse female voice sounded, and Mavis flashed and stood in front of everyone. She raised her hand, and a small pure black defensive magic circle flashed in front of her, easily blocking the Pope's attack.
"It's okay to hurt me, but if you want to hurt this child..."
"That's absolutely not possible!"
Mavis gestured several times in front of her chest like a band conductor.
As her eyes, one silver and one black, stared at the Pope, a strange aura grew stronger.
"Hahahaha, hahahaha." The Pope suddenly burst into laughter.
He had suddenly launched that attack not because he really wanted to kill Sully on the spot, but just to see the reactions of Sully and others.
Then we can judge how much Sully knows by his reaction.
But now Mavis's sudden appearance proved that Sully didn't know much at all, but...
He knows everything.
It was hard to imagine that a former Son of Light who should have been dead half a year ago, and a Dark Saint who led the Dark Church and created countless terrors in Licheng, would protect the same person at the same time.
But this is what happened.
"It seems that you have betrayed me too." The Pope's pupils became sharper under his wrinkled eyelids.
To the Pope, it made no difference whether Sully knew or not.
He didn't know that everyone here was going to die.
He knew that the people here would only have one more reason to die.
"Instead of saying betrayal, it's better to say that I never obeyed."
Mavis looked at the Pope disapprovingly.
But only Suli behind her could realize that this woman, who usually had the word "arrogant" engraved on her soul, was now uncontrollably trembling with fear.
I am afraid, of course I am afraid.
When all people in this world are tested for elements at the age of five, it is equivalent to Mavis being taken away by the Pope of Light when she was five years old and just discovered that she possessed two elements at the same time.
Her family would even be happy that she was taken away by the Pope of Light.
The term clergy, it sounds so nice to say it, the term clergy, it sounds so noble to say it.
But the reality is that Mavis suffered lasting physical and mental damage.
Day after day.
I resisted at first, not understanding why I was being beaten by the high and mighty Church of Light. Then, when they finally gave me a reason, they just said, "Your existence is a sin."
When all the clergy told Mavis that she was sinful, what else could a child do except doubt herself?
At this time, the Pope only needs to show up and tell Mavis in a friendly manner how to atone her sins, and then Mavis will have no choice but to believe it.
But in the end, brainwashing is no match for the Dark Elementalist's natural personality traits.
After Mavis was sent to the Dark Church and told the Dark Pope that he had sent her as an undercover agent, Mavis gradually became more sober in the days that followed without having to live in fear.
But being sober does not mean that she can get rid of the threat from the Pope.
Every time the two elements in her body are actively induced by the Pope, when a struggle occurs inside her body, Mavis will suffer great harm.
If it happens too many times, the damage will not only be to the body, but also to life.
Fear arises in this repeated hurt.
But fear was not enough to overcome her personality.
Mavis looked at the Pope coldly and said, "Those who attack conspiracy will only die from conspiracy in the end."
"That's well said. I like to hear it." Roy clapped his hands and laughed on the spot.
"It is you who will die." The Pope, with his mottled face, twisted his neck mechanically, his golden eyes covered with a haze, and his gaze swept across the necks of everyone one by one.
Even from a distance, people could hear the crackling sounds of his bone joints.
Suli said hastily, "I have only seen villains who talk too much to buy time for the protagonist to kill him, but I have never seen a group of protagonists who want the villain to die buy time for the villain to recover."
As soon as these words fell, Mavis was the first to rush forward.
The author has something to say:
Day 6 is harder than I thought!
I could have updated at 7 o'clock, but after writing 3,000 more words it was already past 9 o'clock!
qaq
After that, every day is 6, and red envelopes will be sent out soon.
