Chapter 568 Holy Name (First Change Monthly Pass)
"Thunder Hell", Fernando's secret chamber.
The life talisman suddenly became transparent, blooming with a clean brilliance, and a blood-stained intestine twisted and wriggled to split and grow.
After a full hour, the storm lord changed back to his original form, and then it took another two hours for his strength to slowly return to the level of legendary rank three.
After putting on his usual bright red magic robe and inserting a strange prosthetic eye like a vortex in the center of a storm into his left eye socket, Fernando opened the node that connects the "Thunder Hell" with the outside world.
The node was opened, and within half a minute, the teleportation array light lit up, and Lucian's figure appeared in the "Thunder Hell".
"Come back so early?" Fernando smiled obscenely, "I thought you would have a good 'celebration' with Natasha."
Even though Lucian was very accustomed to the teacher's injustice, he was a little red at this time: "Prince Patrick was killed by the old king's order, and Natasha was not in a good mood, so I comforted her for a while. Later, His Excellency the King of Nightmares sent Grand Duke Vaorit over, and their father and daughter hadn't seen each other for a long time, and I was also worried about how you were recovering, so I rushed back."
"What is there to worry about? I can go out and fight the saints in the church again." Fernando once again showed his stormy momentum, and then shook his head, "It's not too strange for this kind of thing to happen in the royal family, the little girl still knows too little."
Seeing that Lucian was so leisurely and could still go into the Nexer Palace to comfort Natasha, he naturally understood that the short war was over and the result was good, so he didn't wait to ask.
Lucian still looked at Fernando with some concern: "Teacher, why do I think you are hurt more than the Holy Avenger? It seems to have taken a step back?"
It's okay that Fernando didn't show his momentum, but as soon as he showed it, Lucian sensed something was wrong.
"The trauma in the soul has spread a bit here, but it's only temporary, and it can be recovered in a year or two." Fernando first said it well, and suddenly blew his beard and glared at him, "Although Melmos is stronger than me, I will not be hurt more badly than him in my complete state! This time, I didn't bring two legendary items, and the puppet puppets, clone mirrors and other disposable items prepared in advance on my body were also used to entangle the five saints, and the defensive legendary magic was completely broken by them, so I was injured."
This is also the reason why he felt that he could escape from injury when facing the Pope at the third level, after all, there are many legendary items and life-saving defense legendary magic.
For example, when the pure violent energy attack exceeds a certain limit, the annihilation of the soul of the body will also be fed back to the soul fragments in the resurrection device in some mysterious way, if the energy goes up one or two more steps, and the magician does not make effective defense, It will even cause a complete downfall.
Ancient magicians named it "causal line damage", which is equivalent to the principle of some curses, and no one has been able to study it thoroughly as to what it is.
Regarding the situation of the "Eternal Blazing Sun" explosion center, the current view of the Supreme Council is that too much energy will affect time and space, causing confusion in the causal line, so it has cut the weight, fearing that Fernando will be killed together.
Lucian didn't believe in this explanation, but he couldn't think of any other reason for the time being, he was still far from the research of the soul realm.
"Yes, yes." Lucian knew that the teacher had always been a magician with strong self-esteem and never praised other people's magicians, so of course he nodded in agreement and changed the subject, "Speaking of which, in order to trap the five saints this time, the council really used all the accumulated over the years, and it may not be able to achieve miraculous results in this suicidal way in the future."
Even the Magic Council, an organization famous for alchemy, has only three pieces in total, all belong to legendary magicians - the puppet puppet was contributed by Douglas, and the mirror of the clone was Fernando's treasure.
"If you want to lose less of your own people, in addition to careful planning, all kinds of emergency preparations, and taking the initiative to fight passively, you must also be willing to use items and scrolls to smash at critical moments, and if you don't want to spend money, you will die!" Fernando looked like he was rich, but the uncalm storm in his eyes betrayed his heart, "If there were no doppelganger mirrors and puppets, I would have brought the robe of domination and sacrificed it to entangle the five saints when the time came, but in this way, the council would have to compensate me with a legendary item."
Basically, except for Lucian, legendary items are owned by legendary powerhouses, but the Magic Council has also organized many operations to explore the half-plane of ancient magicians, and found the relics of legendary mages who died due to various accidents.
The legendary items obtained and the legendary items commissioned by the obtained precious materials are all owned by the council, and are run by the rotating Arcane Grand Arcanist, who has made special contributions to the council or accumulated great wealth can be exchanged, and the members of the Supreme Council can borrow one for a certain price when they go out or take risks.
There are currently four such public legendary items, and the exchange price is too high even for legendary magicians to bear, and there are only two situations where special contributions are recognized, one is the one in Fernando's mouth, and the other is the confirmed arcane theory system that can change the era - Fernando's robe of domination is obtained in this way.
With the development of Xeno Space in recent decades, the rare materials obtained have increased, and after enduring several failures, the creator and the alchemist master each refined one to fill it.
Lucian deeply experienced a feeling of smashing people to death with money at this time, although the church was far richer than the council, but the alchemy field was still too far away.
Fernando said nothing else and asked about the outcome of the battle: "How many of the five saints fell? What was the final result?"
Lucian described the general process, and Fernando snorted coldly as he listened, "If it weren't for Melmos, all four saints would have to die."
After listening to Lucian's speech, Fernando frowned slightly and said, "It's good that none of our legends have fallen, but it's a bit weird for the new pope to climb to the god-like level at once. Since they have all received divine grace, it is very simple to give them another divine punishment."
In the past, popes died at the end of their lives, and there was enough time to choose and train successors, but even so, it would take at least a year for the new pope to become a god-like person.
"Well, if the Pope is really the earthly spokesperson of the God of truth and can receive divine grace, then what is the split Northern Church, the State Church of Holm? Why can you still use divine magic, and why can the pope still use 'divine favor magic'?" Lucian also expressed his doubts.
Fernando pondered: "I think of something wrong, since the new pope is at the peak of legends within a year, why have the three gods never tried to seize such an opportunity in the past few hundred years?
Lucian shook his head, asking Yinyue about this kind of thing would definitely not get an answer.
…………
Holy City of Reims, Great Hall of Light.
Anasta, who had not yet been officially inaugurated, stood in front of the remaining members of the College of Cardinals with a platinum scepter and said sadly: "The Magic Council colluded with the demons of the abyss to try to destroy the world, but fortunately, the Pope sacrificed himself, practiced the way of the Lord, repelled the will of the abyss, and saved countless pure spirits. I will inherit his will and completely destroy evil!"
This is to characterize and publicize this incident, the four countries of the Straits and the coastal corridor of the northern land have been lost, and the foundation must be stabilized, and a pope who sacrificed himself to save the world must be appreciated by believers.
Two of the eight saints fell, one died of betrayal, one became the pope, and only half remained, and the ordinary Holy Spirit priest fell one and disappeared, leaving only sixteen members of the entire cardinal conference.
"We will inherit the will of the Pope and completely destroy evil!" The members of the College of Cardinals, with a cross on their chests, replied in unison with grief, "Only the truth endures."
Anastasia's voice became calm and solemn: "We have suffered great losses, but we must not lose faith because of this, this is the test of the Lord, and we who have the Lord's favor will surely achieve the final victory. Melmos, go to Terrence and other Holy Spirit pastors and tell them that as long as they are willing to repent, the Lord will forgive their sins.
Saying this in front of the members of the College of Cardinals with the gift of the Lord is equivalent to truly forgiving Terence and other Holy Spirit pastors, even if they want to repent in the future, they have to take into account the problem that chills the entire conference of cardinals, and Salder's last trump card is "Abyssal Will", and these three Holy Spirit pastors probably don't know how many secrets he has.
Melmos showed an appreciative expression and whispered, "Follow the will of the Lord and your commands."
Only by uniting the majority can the church be relieved.
"I am not yet the Pope." Anastasia smiled and turned to walk up the steps.
There were not many steps, a total of seven steps, and when Anasta stepped on the first step, the ethereal and ethereal voice of the chant suddenly sounded.
Stepping on the second level, a faint holy light shines down, making the Great Light Hall even brighter.
In the third step, countless angels like dots of light emerged and surrounded Anasta.
In the fourth step, the entire holy city of Reims was enveloped in light, and all the clergy and believers prostrated themselves in prayer: "...... You will make your word walk on the earth as it walks in your kingdom."
In the fifth step, a projection of Paradise Mountain appeared in the sky.
In the sixth step, a beam of holy light shone straight on Anasta.
Taking the seventh step, Anasta's face turned extremely pale as he turned his back to everyone, and his left hand trembled uncontrollably as if he were old, but everything quickly recovered, he turned around, faced the members of the Cardinal Order, and raised his scepter high.
At this time, a majestic and divine voice descended from an inexplicable height:
"I give you the holy name 'Benedict.'"
Anastasia respectfully drew a cross, and his voice resounded in the holy city of Reims:
"From today onwards, I am Benedict III!"
It's the last day, ask for a monthly pass.
