[Chapter 289 Abnormal Pope]
…
“Jie Jie Jie, what are you afraid of? As long as you follow my plan, it will only take one night at most.” The
dark witch Judy smirked and bewitched, “Your Highness Charles, don’t worry, I will help you Configure the special potion, and you are guaranteed to capture Monica’s heart in one fell swoop!”
Also, capture Monica’s heart in one fell swoop?
Charles was about to burst into tears, he wanted to die so much, he wanted to die now…
“Charles, how long are you going to hesitate?” Seeing that the other party was still vacillating, Judy sneered again, “You are my lord One of the best believers, the emperor of all mankind in the future, what is this little sacrifice now?”
“Think about the great Lord of Light, think about your own future!”
Judy’s voice was impassioned, but Charles My heart trembled when I heard it.
But thinking of his current situation and bright future, Charles finally gritted his teeth, nodded heavily, “Okay! I’ll go!” “Haha, that’s right.” Judy was
happy They clapped their hands, and the female thief Amanda smiled like an aunt.
Especially the holy magister Andrew, who was sitting by the side, was really relieved.
His disciple is indeed excellent, and now that his disciple is in charge, he, as a mentor, naturally doesn’t have to face the female warden Monica.
“In this case, let me talk about the plan first!”
Judy was very excited, and began to talk about the plan she was preparing on the spot.
It’s just that after a meeting, Charles sat there in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.
Anyway, regardless of the outcome of this plan, he, Charles, is finished.
…
The Inquisition located in the inner city of the imperial capital, its purpose of existence is not only to investigate, try, imprison, and punish all heretics and criminals, but also to deter.
It is like a vicious giant snake, with its head held high, overlooking the imperial capital, and even all the people in the entire empire. It warns the world that anyone who interferes and resists Protestant rights will be swallowed by it mercilessly go down.
Entering the Inquisition, you can immediately feel the bloody and oppressive atmosphere inside.
As the floors go down, the more prisoners are held in the lower prisons, the more serious the crimes they commit, and the crueler the punishment and torture they receive.
Especially at the moment of entering the prison area, the screams of the prisoners came one after another, cruel and bloody scenes can be seen everywhere, and the horrible scene seems to have come to the purgatory on earth, which is creepy.
But once they reached the bottom of the Inquisition, all sounds disappeared in an instant.
That’s right, the lowest floor of the Inquisition is a small secondary space embedded here, and it is also the most mysterious and secret core prison in the Inquisition.
On this day, the Protestant Pope, who was recognized as the state religion by Emperor Carlos, was walking slowly into it in a pure white robe and a metal mask.
The space of the core prison of the referee is not that big, only about 1,000 square meters, similar to a large prison, but because it is a small sub-space, the place that should have been the wall of the prison has become a space that exudes gleaming light barrier.
The space barrier seems to be as light as nothing, but in fact it is indestructible. Except for the only entrance, no one can enter or exit it.
Other than that, the rest of the place is not much different from the prison outside. Stained floors, blood-stained instruments of torture, red-hot soldering irons, etc., are all available.
Especially at the end of the prison, there are three huge crosses, with three people nailed to them. The one in the middle was a tormented, inhuman, white-haired old man.
“Nasadr, how long are you going to hold on?”
The Pope, who stepped into the prison, walked straight to the front of the cross. Through the metal mask on his face, his eyes were full of urgency and anger.
It turned out that in front of him, the old man whose hands, shoulders, and feet were all nailed, and who was nailed to the cross alive, was the real Pope St. John Nasader who once illuminated the Holy See.
It’s just that the current Nasadr doesn’t look like an ordinary old man?
He was naked from the upper body, and his body was covered with old and new scars. The cheeks are sunken, and the aging skin is full of deep grooves. On the wounds on his hands, feet and shoulders, the blood had already solidified, and the spikes piercing through his body seemed to have grown together with his body. Such a dire state, it looks like it has been maintained for a long time.
On his left and right sides, there are also two former archbishops.
They are Archbishop James and Archbishop Edward.
Perhaps it was because their own strength was one level inferior to Pope Nasader’s. James and Edward, who had been tortured, were obviously weaker than Nasader. At this time, they hardly even had the strength to speak. hanging.
As for their companions who were imprisoned here together back then, they had already turned into rotting corpses under their feet.
“Heh.”
At this moment, a weak mocking voice came out.
The old and frail Nasadr slowly raised his eyes. Those old eyes had long been muddy, but there was still a ray of light that made one dare not look directly, still flickering firmly, “Igna Here you go, in my name, you fooled the empire and the people, and you will be severely punished by our lord!” “Severe punishment by our
lord? Haha, what a joke!”
The false Pope Ignaz looked up and sneered. Ruthlessly said, “The old dog Guangming has died a long time ago! You and I know this very well!” “
As early as two years ago, the moment Shenyun appeared, the last trace of connection between us and you was completely severed , the last consciousness of the
.
Years ago, rumors began to circulate that the God of Light had died. In the following decades, there were no more miracles, and the influence of the Holy See of Light began to weaken more and more, and a large number of people began to leave their faith. On the contrary, other suppressed pagan religions, as well as forces such as the princes of the kingdom, began to spring up like mushrooms after a spring rain. The rumors of the demise of the God of Light have almost been confirmed at this moment.
As a result, Ignaz, who had just become the Cardinal Archbishop of the Empire at that time, began to explode with ambition.
He planned secretly, and finally, together with his cronies, he secretly murdered Pope Nassadr, and secretly imprisoned him at the bottom of the Inquisition.
Since then, as Pope Nassadr, he has controlled the religion of the entire empire. And with a clever plan, he joined forces with the emperor Carlos to jointly promote the movement to ban the old Holy See and establish a new religion.
This persecution campaign to ban the old Holy See that has swept across the entire continent has lasted for twenty years!
All the key members of the old Guangming Holy See and their core believers were all arrested and persecuted. The Inquisitions established by the Protestants of the Empire in various places were once overcrowded.
Those members and believers of the old Holy See who were weak by nature and whose beliefs were not strong enough changed their banners one after another and joined the Protestant camp.
Since then, the faith of the remaining bright old Holy See has been completely destroyed by the hands of Ignaz and Emperor Carlos!
Ignaz did this not only to destroy the old Holy See and establish a self-centered Protestantism, but also to completely kill the suspected surviving God of Light!
As a core member of the former Holy See, he knew very well that the power of the gods comes from people’s beliefs. As long as the channels of these beliefs are cut off, it is tantamount to cutting off the vitality of the gods.
Ignaz did it boldly, and he was delighted to find that he succeeded in the end!
He and the old Pope Nassadr were both core members of the old Holy See, and they had a clear faith connection with the old God of Light.
But just two years ago, both he and the old Pope Nasadr clearly felt that the divine consciousness that had a weak connection with them was completely severed.
That day was undoubtedly the day when the gods really fell.
Once the last remaining consciousness of the gods dissipates, it means that the gods are truly dead, completely annihilated from this world!
Without the gods, Ignaz no longer has any scruples, and his monstrous ambition and decades-long layout have also reached the final stage.
“Bastard, bastard!” Nasadr’s eyes were about to burst, and his whole body was trembling with hatred, “blasphemy, subverting the government, fooling the people… You! Unforgivable crime!” “Unforgivable crime? Hehehe, why do you call me
guilty Unforgivable? For the sake of the empire, for the people of the world, this pope must do this, otherwise how can we human beings ensure that our supremacy remains unshakable?”
False Pope Ignaz laughed wildly, “Hehe, not to mention who in this world can Condemn me? Are you counting on that old dog of light that has lost consciousness long ago?”
“Shut up!” the old Pope Nassadr yelled angrily, “My lord of light, no blasphemy is allowed! Cough! Cough cough cough…”
A few words of reprimand , as if the old Pope Nasadr’s strength had been exhausted, his damaged body had already been exhausted, causing him to cough continuously, and the severe pain distorted his face.
“Humph! Nasadr, for the sake of you being my predecessor, I can give you one last chance.” The
pseudo-pope Ignaz snorted coldly, his gaze fell coldly on the old pope’s face through the metal mask. On the face, “Hand over the artifact and help me become a god, and I may give you a way out!”
Mentioning the artifact, the old Pope Nasader’s expression suddenly changed.
The holy weapon, the scepter of holy light, is the sacred staff that was held in the hand at the moment when the God of Light ignited the divine fire and transformed into a god.
After that, the God of Light opened up the kingdom of God and formally ascended to the realm of God. He left this scepter in the plane of Light as a symbol of his faith, and it was kept by the Pope for generations.
It is rumored that this scepter has supreme power and can greatly enhance the user’s ability.
Now the false pope Ignaz has reached the bottleneck of the 9th-level demigod realm, and he is only one step away from truly igniting the divine fire and stepping into the divine realm. With the help of the divine scepter, his chances of stepping into the 10th-level divine realm will undoubtedly increase significantly.
Therefore, whether there is the support of the scepter is particularly critical to Ignaz, which is the main reason why he has kept the old pope and his two backbone archbishops to this day.
“Think, want an artifact? Oh, you’re dreaming!” The old Pope Nassadr lowered his face, weakly snorted, “You, you are a despicable person who is greedy, greedy for power and power, I, I will die , and I will never let you succeed!”
“Reckless!”
The pseudo-pope Ignaz clenched his teeth angrily, and his eyes filled with anger seemed to spew out fire.
In the face of this kind of stubborn old man with firm beliefs, any means of torture and temptation will have no effect, otherwise he would have already obtained the artifact over the years.
After a while, Ignaz swallowed the anger. Suier smiled sullenly, looked at the old Pope in front of him again, and said in a tone full of chills: “Nasadr, old man, your bones are indeed hard enough, but I don’t know if your delicate and good granddaughter can You can stand the torture here like you!”
Hearing the word granddaughter, the old Pope, who was ready to die calmly, suddenly shrank his eyes.
If there is anything in this world that he can’t let go of, it is only his granddaughter, Katharina, who was brought up by him.
“Your good granddaughter has now become a pseudo-Holy saint who has been active in the border recently. Tsk tsk, this really surprises the Pope.”
Ignaz looked slyly through the metal mask with interest, and the old Pope was full of nervous expression, “Old man, did you secretly order someone to send your granddaughter out of the border of the empire, did you think that one day you would be able to survive? Haha, it’s a pity that all this is just making a wedding dress for the Pope.”
“What do you mean? Catherine is innocent, she, she doesn’t know anything!” The old Pope’s cloudy old eyes were full of worry.
When he realized that something was wrong back then, everything was irreversible. In the chaos, he had no choice but to arrange for his cronies to send his granddaughter, who was still young and knew nothing, out of the border of the empire. At the same time, he did not hesitate to consume his life and cast a big prophecy, just to help them leave safely.
As for his granddaughter, actually re-establishing the extinct Holy See of Light, this was completely beyond his expectations.
His original intention was just to hope that his precious granddaughter could grow up safely and live in peace. Unexpectedly, the false Pope Ignaz has noticed her, which means that disaster has come!
“What do you mean? Hehe, the false saint Catherine established a false religion, fooled the people, and instigated riots. This is an unforgivable crime!” The false
pope Ignaz said, with a fierce light in his eyes, and the terrifying power immediately erupted layer by layer. “From now on, the Pope will follow God’s will and personally send troops to conquer!” “
All those associated with the false Holy See, no matter noble or poor, will be severely suppressed!” “
But don’t worry, your precious granddaughter, I I will personally bring it to you.” Having said that, the pseudo-pope Ignaz’s expression became more and more twisted and cruel, “I will erect a brand new cross in front of you, and then peel her off layer by layer… “
The more Ignaz said, the more creepy the old Pope Nasadr became.
The old pope knew very well that the cold-blooded and cruel Ignaz was definitely not joking! And with his terrifying strength, he is completely able to do it! He didn’t even need a large army, and he could easily capture Katharina just by relying on his almost god-like terrifying ability.
This is also the main reason why Ignaz does not pay attention to the recent rebellion of the Holy See on the border of the empire.
Because as long as he goes out in person, the emerging Holy See headed by Saint Catherine will be easily suppressed and disintegrated. Just by doing so, he ignites the divine fire, and the process of being promoted to God will also be slowed down.
“No, Ignaz, you can’t do this, she is innocent, it’s none of her business!” “
If you dare to touch her with a finger, I will never forgive you!”
Pain and panic filled the room at once. On the chest of old Pope Nassadr, he gritted his teeth angrily, and tried to raise his head, but his strength had already been exhausted, and even his life was about to end, and he couldn’t lift a trace of strength at all.
He couldn’t even move a finger on the cross that crucified him.
The only thing that can be done right now is to watch the false pope’s indifferent and mocking eyes, and the resolute back of the other party turning away.
“No!”
