Joshua's expression gradually changed from silence to anger.
As the most devout believer of the Moon Goddess, he would naturally not allow anyone to defile the existence of the Lord!
However, when Joshua heard Lin En talk about Saint Lucia using the Gate of Heaven and the great Lord coming from the Kingdom of God but dying under his new magic, his expression calmed down and there was a hint of mockery on his face.
Lynn kept an eye on Joshua's expression.
Sometimes, even if the other party is unwilling to cooperate, you can still see some clues from their instantaneous reaction.
For example, when he recounted the details of the war just now, his statements were half-truths and even contained obvious mistakes, but Joshua was unaware of it. However, when he mentioned that Ella was dead, the judge's expression was surprisingly calm, and he did not show even the slightest worry or fear.
Is it because there is an obvious loophole in his words, and Lucia does not need to use the Gate of Heaven to complete the descent of God?
Or did Joshua have absolute confidence in the power of that false god? No, neither of them was likely.
Lynn quickly shot that down.
Although Joshua was in the City of Fire Oil when he was captured, and was unable to witness with his own eyes how powerful the nuclear explosion he performed was, he still felt the strong vibration of the ground and the huge mushroom cloud that was rising...
No matter how stupid they are, the other side will definitely realize that the Vatican's expeditionary force has been defeated and their gods are already unable to take care of themselves.
"It seems that you can determine the status of that false god, or whether he is dead or alive..." Lin En smiled and continued. "Let me guess, it's probably because..."
"Because... you are still alive?" Lin En suddenly thought of this.
Joshua's pupils shrank and his body trembled slightly. Although he reacted quickly and suppressed his emotional changes, these slight changes in expression were enough for Lin En.
Obviously, he guessed right! Arad had experimented on the captured bishops and priests all night long. After Saint Lucia was killed by him, these people could still cast magic normally. On the contrary, the chief judge was greatly affected and was knocked down by a mere second-ring magic.
Lin En couldn't help but guess that the higher the level of the clergy, the closer the connection with [Ella]. Once this false god falls, the church's top leaders will probably be severely injured or even die! Joshua's expression has returned to calm. His eagle-like sharp eyes stared at the two people in front of him, and he spoke in a hoarse and mocking tone.
"Your resistance is meaningless, wizard! It won't be long before the Lord's Kingdom descends from heaven and covers the entire earth!"
"At that time, the glory of God will surely drive away all evil!"
Joshua's tone was pious and firm, as if he was reciting some kind of oath.
"Oh, evil?" Vittorio sneered as if he was listening to an absurd joke. "The Lord you are talking about was once a wizard, and the most evil psychic who uses souls as nutrients to grow himself. He is the evil god that you hate the most."
"To put it bluntly, she is just an executioner and a lucky person who won the war of faith by relying on her strength, and then she openly denounced her former 'compatriots' as evil and slaughtered them all..."
Vittorio's tone became increasingly sharp as he continued to expose Ella's past, but he wanted to pierce the judge's faith in one breath.
Any believer of God would be shocked when they found out that the object of their faith was actually a rumored evil wizard, or even the evil god himself. They would either eagerly refute it, or denounce their nonsense for defiling the great moon goddess... or their faith would completely collapse! However, nothing Vittorio expected happened. Joshua just spoke indifferently.
"Great? Did she really create this world as the Bible says?" Lin En said sarcastically.
Don't be ridiculous. Just based on [Ella], a false god trapped in a small planet? He can't even leave the galaxy he is in, and creating the world is nonsense. How can he be called great?
However, Joshua's indifference also surprised Lynn.
It seems that the top leaders of the Vatican are different from ordinary bishops and priests, and they are not really ignorant about the God they believe in.
In other words, if one wants to become a high-ranking official in the Church and a legendary clergyman, one of the conditions is to maintain the most devout faith even after knowing the truth...
Lin En couldn't help but gasp. How devout a person must be to remain unshaken in his faith after learning that the Lord of faith was no different from the wizard who was promoted as the embodiment of evil...
[Ella] The brainwashing ability is a little too terrifying!
Facing the mocking words of Lin En and others, Joshua did not listen, did not hear, did not speak, and did not say a word... His entire body returned to the state he was in before they came in, as if he was dead.
Even though Vittorio intentionally insulted Ella, Joshua did not react at all. He could only turn around and look at Lynn.
See, this guy is so difficult to deal with...
Lin En also shook his head helplessly. He originally wanted to dig up some dirt on that false god and start from that aspect to defeat the other party's faith. Once the mental defense line collapsed, it would naturally be possible to search the memory.
He had even thought about what kind of words he would use to convince the other party, but unfortunately Joshua's attitude was beyond his expectations. He was very receptive to the fact that Ella was a wizard before.
This means that all previous plans have come to nothing.
【Space Vibration Wave】
Lin En suddenly raised his hand, and an invisible ripple swept across and cut directly on Joshua's right arm. The forearm with the sleeve attached was cut off at the elbow, and red blood spurted out. The forearm floated up before it hit the ground and fell into Lin En's hand.
"It can bleed as well, this is really magical." Lin En exclaimed in admiration, somewhat doubting whether the other party had really completed the transformation of energy and matter.
Then, wisps of flames ignited from the air, using the high temperature to stop the bleeding of the presiding judge to prevent him from actually bleeding to death.
As for this forearm, it is of course intended for research...
Seeing that Joshua was unwilling to cooperate, Lin En didn't waste his efforts. The samples in his hands also contained the theory of mass-energy conversion. He believed that it would not take long before he could restore the path to becoming a legend.
