"This familiar breath..."

Zhang Feng closed his eyes and thought. Slowly, a person suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Bernice!"

Zhang Feng suddenly opened his eyes.

This kind of aura is also possessed by the former saint of the Celestial God Church and the current Pope Bernice!

He said why it felt familiar!

The Celestial God Cult has always been a rather mysterious force, and even the Saint herself cannot fully explain it.

The last time they defeated the Gama Kingdom, the old Pope of the Celestial Cult died, leaving only the Saint and some of the believers.

Because there was no conflict of interest between Zhang Feng and the Tianshen Religion, and he also thought that it would be good to have a church that could play a positive and active role in the spiritual life of ordinary people, so he did not do anything to the Tianshen Religion.

After Bernice took over the Celestial God Cult, she was very disciplined and did not expand on a large scale. Instead, she developed the religion in Hongye City in a low-key manner, and membership in the religion was entirely voluntary.

After observing for a while and finding that there was no brainwashing, Zhang Feng acquiesced to the existence of the Tianshen Cult.

Of course, there is another very important reason for acquiescence, and that is Bernice herself.

Before, Zhang Feng thought that Bernice was a witch because they both had that kind of magical power, but he soon discovered that this was not the case. A witch is a witch, and Bernice is Bernice, they are completely different.

Another person who possesses this mysterious ability is Pope Lawson. Unfortunately, Pope Lawson is dead, so Zhang Feng has no way of knowing it even if he wants to.

When Zhang Feng asked Bernice about his doubts about the Celestial God Religion, she was unable to give him an answer because she didn't know either.

She was an orphan since childhood and was found by Pope Lawson when she was almost starving to death.

When Pope Lawson took out the black bread and asked her if she would like to follow him and believe in the Catholic Church, Bernice agreed without any hesitation.

From then on, Bernice's fate changed dramatically.

Before, Bernice never knew why Pope Lawson took a fancy to her and even made her a saint, becoming the second most powerful person in the Celestial God Church after the Pope!

But when she was twelve years old, she awakened a special ability - healing amplification! Healing amplification that can be used on a large scale!

Pope Lawson also has this special ability, although it is different from hers. Pope Lawson's ability is fire. But she knows that this may be the reason why Pope Lawson took her in.

In the years since, Bernice has never met anyone like herself, or like Pope Lawson.

Although witches are somewhat similar to them in that they all have their own beliefs and gain strength from their beliefs, there are still huge differences between them.

After a witch awakens, the strength of her abilities is almost innate and difficult to improve. There are also various side effects, such as only women can awaken, and they cannot live before the age of 25 after awakening. The more abilities they use, the greater the price they pay, etc.

Of course, witches also have their advantages. They don't need to practice or accumulate time. They will reach their peak strength upon awakening. If they are lucky and the "God" they believe in is powerful, then they will be very powerful, even invincible.

But Bernice is different. Her ability was very weak in the beginning, and then became stronger with the accumulation of time. It was achieved step by step and steadily. Compared with the witch, although her ability was not at its peak at the beginning, she had no side effects, and she could achieve it through acquired efforts.

Pope Lawson hated witches very much. He thought witches were evil and had dedicated their souls to the devil, so the Celestial Cult hated witches very much.

Of course, the witch can now improve through acquired efforts, and the side effects have almost disappeared. She just needs Zhang Feng's help.

Back to Bernice, she didn't know what this ability was called. Pope Lawson called it "divine power", so she called it divine power.

Bernice is also looking for someone with divine power. This is the wish of Pope Lawson. He hopes that everyone in the Celestial Church is a believer with divine power, but unfortunately, this wish will probably never be fulfilled.

In the current Celestial God Religion, Bernice is still the only one who possesses this divine power.

On the contrary, there are quite a few witches in the Stardust Continent. Recently, Zhang Feng has received news about several suspected witches.

"The mysterious energy on this armor is very similar to the 'divine power' of Bernice..."

Zhang Feng gently tapped the golden-patterned secret stone armor, his thoughts flying.

"And this mysterious energy was created by the priests of the Sirius Empire. They call it the power of prayer. Perhaps the priests of the Sirius Empire are the same kind of people as Bernice..."

Thinking about it this way, the mystery of the Sirius Empire priest in Zhang Feng's heart was slightly reduced. After all, he had seen Bernice and even studied Bernice's abilities. Although he didn't figure out anything, at least he understood her.

Of course, this is just Zhang Feng’s current guess. He can’t guarantee the specific situation without seeing the real person.

But what is certain is that the priests of the Sirius Empire are very powerful.

After all, Bernice is very powerful, especially on the battlefield. Her amplification and healing abilities are simply abnormal. She is no match for the half-baked healing abilities of the witch Tina.

From this, we can imagine that the priests of the Sirius Empire will definitely not be weak, and may even be stronger.

And we don’t know how many priests there are in the Sirius Empire. It would be terrifying if there were priests everywhere.

Zhang Feng became much more cautious about the Sirius Empire.

"Then it seems that I have to let Bernice take a look at this secret stone armor. Maybe she can know something..."

There is too little energy in the armor, and Zhang Feng doesn't dare to experiment casually. Now that he has found Bernice, who seems to have the same origin as the armor, Zhang Feng thinks it would be better to let Bernice take a look first.

So, that afternoon, Zhang Feng quietly left on an airship.

…

The lights in Hongye City are coming on, and the wonderful nightlife has just begun.

Bernice stood on the top floor of the church, looking at the lights of thousands of homes, feeling a little emotional.

You don’t know until you come, and you’ll be shocked.

Although she has been in Hongye City for some time, every time she sees such a bustling and prosperous Hongye City, she still has a feeling of unreality.

Because she was an orphan, grew up in the slums, and has seen the bottom of the world, she has a deep understanding of this world.

From the moment she joined the Celestial God Cult, her goal was to ensure that everyone in the world had enough food to eat.

Of course, this goal was too big, so she temporarily settled for the next best thing - to ensure that all believers had enough food.

But it is still a difficult task.

Even though she tried very hard, people still starved to death.

Pope Lawson told her that her idea was good, but it was impossible to achieve because the resources on the continent were limited.

If some people have enough food to eat, there must be others who cannot.

Unless the rich give away all their wealth to the poor, it would be impossible to achieve the situation she described.

Bernice actually thought so too. She was not a child and she knew that this was the reality.

But she didn't expect that this impossible thing would happen in Hongye City, in the Far North! When the Far North was mentioned before, the first impression was sparsely populated, poor, cold, and barren.

But now, the Far North is completely different. Apart from being a little cold, poverty and barrenness have nothing to do with the Far North!

Now to describe the Far North, it is prosperous!

Especially Hongye City, which is extremely prosperous!

Even this prosperity is radiating to other parts of the Buck Kingdom. Bernice inexplicably feels that in a few years, perhaps the entire Buck Kingdom and the entire Stardust Continent will become what Red Leaf City is today!

If she could live to that day, she would definitely tell Pope Lawson in front of his tombstone that her childhood dream had been realized...

And all of this is because of one person, Zhang Feng! Before, Bernice just thought that Zhang Feng was a little special, but this is not special at all, he is simply a god-like person! Except that his own strength may be a little weak, all other aspects are simply perfect!

"Alas, what a pity, he doesn't seem to have any interest in the Celestial God Religion..."

Bernice sighed.

If she could get Zhang Feng's help, Bernice believed that the Celestial God Religion would definitely grow and develop rapidly. But unfortunately, although Zhang Feng had no ill feelings towards the Celestial God Religion, he didn't have a good impression of it either. It was like a stranger to her.

Bernice even suspected that the reason why Zhang Feng allowed the existence of the Celestial God Cult was because she had not yet fulfilled a condition she had promised Zhang Feng.

When Zhang Feng brought her back from the Gama Kingdom, Bernice would agree to one condition in return, but Zhang Feng never mentioned it, as if he had forgotten it.

But Bernice knew Zhang Feng quite well, so she didn't think that Zhang Feng had forgotten. He might simply not have thought about what conditions to propose and just wanted to maximize his benefits.

Bernice didn't mind it, after all, the other party saved her life.

However, after arriving in Hongye City, every time Zhang Feng looked for her, he wanted to learn something about "divine power" from her. Later, he found that there was really nothing to ask her, so he rarely looked for her.

This made Bernice feel a little resentful, and she felt like a tool.

"How about we take the initiative to find Zhang Feng and see what he thinks of the Celestial God Cult..."

Bernice felt a little uncomfortable, thinking back to when Pope Lawson was still alive, King Kerry of Buck had always wanted the Celestial God Church to become the state religion of Buck Kingdom and had promised various benefits, but Pope Lawson had always disagreed.

In his words, he is completely different from these ordinary people, not from the same world, and there is no need for him to become the state religion of an ordinary country, as this would limit the development of the Tianshen religion.

But even so, King Kaili still treated them and the Celestial God Religion with courtesy.

But now, after the Celestial God Cult fell into Bernice's hands, Zhang Feng ignored them and didn't care at all.

Come to think of it, what does the Tianshen Cult have? Apart from myself, who is somewhat capable, there are no other special features. On the contrary, Zhang Feng has all kinds of magical machines, powerful orcs, unique witches, and even two ancient war trees and mysterious elves!

Compared with these, my ability seems to be really not that good.

"well!"

I can’t think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel!

Just when Bernice was doubting her life, suddenly, a huge airship appeared from a distance and flew towards the church.

Airships are no longer a secret in the Kingdom of Buck. There are even commercial airships now. Although the ticket prices are very expensive, it is still hard to get a ticket.

Bernice originally thought that the airship was just passing by, but gradually she discovered that the airship was heading for the church.

There is no place to park airships in the church, and this altitude is a no-fly zone. Anyone who flies like this in Hongye City must be from the City Lord's Mansion.

Bernice opened the door and saw a small hanging garden outside, which contained some flowers and plants that she had planted herself.

When she first came here, the church was very dilapidated, but Bernice did not despise it. She slowly cleaned up the church until it became what it is today.

At this time, the airship just stopped above Bernice, the hatch opened, and a familiar figure came into view.

Zhang Feng?

Why is he here? Could something have happened?

Before she could even say hello, Zhang Feng actually jumped down! Bernice raised her eyebrows. Sure enough!

She said that as long as Zhang Feng finds her, there must be something wrong!

I am just a tool.

Coming down with Zhang Feng was a set of black armor in his arms.

"Good evening, Bernice Pope!"

Zhang Feng greeted him with a smile.

"Good evening, Grand Duke Zhang Feng!"

Bernice smiled back.

She looked at the armor in Zhang Feng's hand with some curiosity, and guessed that Zhang Feng's reason for looking for him might be related to this armor.

Zhang Feng felt a little emotional when he saw Bernice. She looked prettier and prettier after not seeing her for a few days.

Bernice, who became the Pope from a saint, is more mature, more beautiful and more elegant than before.

"Look, take a look at this set of armor. What's so special about it?"

Zhang Feng placed the armor in front of Bernice and went straight to the point.

"good."

Bernice didn't hesitate either. She reached out and gently touched the armor.

"Huh?"

As soon as they made contact, Bernice let out a sound of surprise.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Feng asked with some anticipation.

"The material of this armor is so strange... It seems to store divine power, and it seems to be able to absorb divine power..."

Bernice said, frowning.

Zhang Feng was not surprised at all that Bernice could discover the characteristics of the golden-patterned secret stone armor. After all, their energy came from the same source, so Zhang Feng said, "Then try to see if you can control these 'divine powers'."

"good."

Bernice did not doubt him and slowly closed her eyes, but after a while, Bernice opened her eyes and said:

“It can be controlled.”

Zhang Feng was immediately excited. Before he could say anything, Bernice said:

"I absorbed the divine power back, and it feels a bit strange..."

"What, you—"

Zhang Feng was startled for a moment, and when he looked at the collar of his armor, he saw that the last mark on his armor was flickering, as if it would go out at any time.

It's over, it's going to be scrapped! However, before he could say anything, he saw the flickering scale suddenly soared, and in the blink of an eye it rushed to thirty-five scales! "Uh... I, filled it in again..."

Looking at Zhang Feng who had a look of regret, Bernice spoke weakly. She didn't know what she had done wrong. Wasn't it agreed that she would be allowed to take control? Zhang Feng's reaction made it seem as if she had made a big mistake.

“…”

Zhang Feng looked at the scale that was instantly full, and he didn't know what to say.

So, the energy is full? We said it can't be reused!

Did Dean deceive himself, or is Bernice just too powerful?

Looking at Bernice who looked a little weak, Zhang Feng fell into silence.
