Wu Yu not only gave the Pope a way out, but also directly used his faith as a point of attack. When dealing with such religious fanatics, provocation is the most effective tactic.
"If you want to die, then I'll grant your wish," the Pope said coldly. He could see through Wu Yu's little tricks at a glance, but Wu Yu was using an open strategy. In any case, the Pope could not possibly believe that a god would lose to a mortal. Just having such a thought was a sin.
"Thanks then," Wu Yu said insincerely.
Then Wu Yu, pulling on the Pope's robe, approached the angel holding the book and said, "Tell me, how exactly is this thing used?"
"It's very simple. By attaching your consciousness to an angel, you can control it. But divine weapons can only be used by those recognized by God. If ordinary people try to wield divine weapons, they will suffer a backlash," the Pope said sarcastically.
No wonder it was so easy to use; apparently, this thing doesn't require any special techniques, Wu Yu thought disdainfully.
"Aren't there any requirements for using divine artifacts? Why is this divinely bestowed weapon so special?" Wu Yu complained as he attached his spiritual power to the statue.
He could look directly at the gods. Although Wu Yu didn't know what he was, he certainly wasn't classified as a mortal. Even if this angel statue had limitations, he should still be able to use it.
He could disregard even the majesty of a god, so how could a mere prop possibly harm Wu Yu?
With a mysterious confidence, Wu Yu finally immersed his mental energy into the angel statue.
"Click".
Wu Yu tried blinking, and the stone on the angel's face began to fall off. Wu Yu then seemed to have gained a new body. Looking at the dull-looking original body in front of him, Wu Yu felt that this was very similar to when he manipulated the puppet, except that the angel was a little more convenient.
As Wu Yu gained control of the angel, some information was directly fed into his mind, such as the angel's attack moves and possession modes.
The possession mode should be the one Virginia used. Although that would allow him to maximize the power of the angels, Wu Yu did not intend to provoke the God of Light with his true form, considering that he could never defeat Him.
"Boom!" All the stones on its surface shattered, and another holy angel descended before the world.
"How is this possible? Why would a divinely bestowed weapon, which no one but the Holy Maiden can wield, be driven by a heretic?" Someone cried out in disbelief, as if their faith had collapsed.
"Maybe it's because I'm handsome." Wu Yu uttered these extremely shameless words with that sacred face.
In fact, Wu Yu also wanted to know why he could use this thing, but no one told him! Maybe the system knew, but it was impossible to pry out information that it didn't want to reveal.
Even though the angels are countless times more powerful than the puppets, Wu Yu didn't feel any sense of incongruity this time. So, is this the difference between divine technology and human technology? It's like comparing heaven and earth.
Thanks to this, Wu Yu was able to flap his wings and fly.
As Wu Yu flew out of the gate, he also saw some things that were invisible from a human perspective. The power of faith becomes invisible when it is not used, but through the perspective of the angels, Wu Yu could see those invisible powers of faith.
The previous torrent of faith had not disappeared; it had merely become transparent. It was still flowing continuously toward Virginia, pouring into the twelve wings of light behind her. Wu Yu noticed that the divine kingdom behind her was showing signs of becoming tangible.
He is still getting stronger! Wu Yu discovered this despairing fact. He was unsure whether the system could actually defeat the god, but since he was already here, Wu Yu could not back down at this point.
Moreover, it seems that he is not fighting alone; there is another human in the sky.
The man was none other than Marlowe, who had gained new power. He flew back into the sky, but this time he did not act rashly. Even though his strength had increased many times over, he still did not think he could defeat Virginia, because when he released his mental energy, the scorching heat still had not dissipated.
Wu Yu flew over to Marlowe's side and, seeing the two bloody holes in his face, knew that the Sword Saint probably couldn't help. Seeing that Marlowe didn't seem to notice him, Wu Yu reminded him, "Excuse me, I need to deal with this guy."
Such arrogant words! Marlowe didn't know who the newcomer was, but he still reminded him, "This guy is strong, let's attack together."
"No need, your retreating a bit is the biggest help you can give me," Wu Yu said calmly. He had seen earlier that Richie and Marlowe's attacks had no effect on Virginia.
Marlowe wanted to persuade him again, but suddenly he could no longer sense Wu Yu's presence.
Wu Yu casually flew to Virginia's side, and the seemingly impenetrable barrier that was so solid for Marlowe appeared to Wu Yu as if it didn't exist at all.
Wu Yu was also puzzled by this. He clearly saw that Marlowe's attack was blocked by the transparent wall, but in his eyes, there was nothing in front of him. He decided to give it a try, and to his surprise, he actually passed through it.
The rule that mortals must not approach gods also had no effect on Wu Yu.
Virginia's eyes had been empty, but after Wu Yu crossed that boundary, her eyes finally looked over, marking the first time a god had gazed upon something in the mortal realm.
"Who are you? The Ultra Empire has been ceded to me, and we have signed a non-aggression pact. Do you intend to breach it?" The God of Light questioned Virginia through her words, his tone filled with immense authority.
