"Hmm..."
Leon slowly woke up from his dream, opened his eyes, and looked at the scene between heaven and earth. He was at a loss.
What comes into view is a bright yellow sky like sand, and the land under your feet is indeed a deep blue land.
The colors of the sky and the earth seemed to be reversed. From afar, not far away, a bridge that seemed to be able to cross the chasm was being built non-stop. At the forefront of the bridge construction, it seemed that something was moving there, but Lyon could not see anything clearly.
It's like... you know there's something there, but your consciousness prevents you from looking up.
It may sound abstract, but it is the truth.
For the time being, Lyon ignored the bridge that spanned the chasm and fell into deep thought.
How did I end up here?
Then, memories began to emerge like a tide, and gradually, Leon seemed to remember everything he had experienced when he arrived here.
He remembered that he used the Scepter of God to insert it into the belly of the spider monster at lightning speed, but the spider monster did not move, as if it had been dead for many days.
Just as he was wondering, the spider silk ball not far away suddenly exploded. When he opened his eyes, he found himself there.
What is this place and why am I here?
Leon couldn't help but start to imagine. Everything here was different from what he knew. The environment was very different. It was as if everything was unreal.
"Illusory?"
Suddenly, Leon seemed to have thought of something, and he couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Could it be... I was also pulled into the dream by this spider silk? But... I have supernatural powers, how could I fall into a dream?"
"Besides, is this what my beautiful dream is like?"
Looking at the endless, barren azure earth and deep yellow sky, Leon fell into deep thought.
"Your Majesty, you are finally here!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice shattered Leon's fantasy. Leon looked up and saw Smith appearing before him with a fawning look on his face. Behind Aped, hundreds of extraordinary people saluted Leon together, "Eternal Night, we greet Your Majesty!"
"Um, what?"
Leon was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Smith was saying: "Bishop Smith, I am only temporarily serving as the Archbishop. I cannot bear the title of Your Majesty."
In all churches, only the gods or the Pope are qualified to be called Your Majesty. Lyon is just an archbishop. Although he is only one step away from the Pope, this step is a chasm.
"Your Holiness, have you forgotten?"
Smith continued flatteringly, "The great Lord of Eternal Night has issued a divine oracle to execute the heretic Aeped and officially enthrone you as Pope!"
"Me? The Pope?"
Leon was stunned again, but this time, a lot of memories suddenly appeared in his mind.
In his memory, he successfully killed the spider monster, saved New York, and thus secured his position as Archbishop.
In order to protect himself and obtain the position of Pope, Aped openly colluded with the Thunder Church, wanting to put the Eternal Night Church in danger, thereby creating his identity as the savior of the Eternal Night Church.
However, Leon stopped all this in time and defeated Aped, thus gaining the recognition of the great Lord of Eternal Night and officially becoming the Pope.
"Am I the Pope?"
For a moment, Leon fell into confusion. At this moment, he had completely forgotten that he was most likely in a dream: "Is this... the Kingdom of the Lord?"
"Yes, this is the kingdom of God under the great Lord of Eternal Night!" Smith continued flatteringly, "Aped has been executed, and his minion George is now imprisoned in the Divine Prison. Do you want to..."
"Is this true?"
Leon fell into deep thought.
Was this really a dream? Yet, it all felt too real. The memories I had just recalled, each scene felt so real, as if the Lord of Eternal Night had summoned me only yesterday...
"Hmm..."
Leon felt a headache coming on, wondering if he was dreaming. "I... always feel like there's something in my memory..."
"Your Holiness, this is normal."
Smith continued flatteringly, "Have you forgotten? This is the kingdom of the great Lord of Eternal Night. As mortals, we are bound to be subject to certain restrictions. Your hazy memory is one of them."
"Really? I see..."
Leon murmured, and this explanation seemed to be accepted by Leon: after all, compared to the possibility of dreaming, this explanation was more real.
Thinking of this, Leon waved his sleeves and was about to start his work as Pope in high spirits, but the moment he looked up, he suddenly saw the bridge that had not yet been completed.
Lyon pointed at the bridge and asked, "What is that?"
"That is the Bridge of God, the bridge connecting the Kingdom of God and the human world."
Smith said vaguely, "Your Holiness, please go to the Divine Prison and kill George, the lackey of Aped!"
"No, that's not right!"
Suddenly, Leon's thoughts became clearer and clearer, as if he had figured something out: "The Spider God built a bridge across the great rift between the waking world and the dreamland. Once Atlachnakia finishes weaving the web, the bridge will be complete. And once the bridge is complete, the end of the world will come!"
This is the introduction of the Indian wizard Rod before departure, Atlachnakya, the Spider God!
"This is the dreamland, the great rift...on the other side is the real world!"
