Wu Xiaode squinted his eyes and looked around at the situation.
The red scepter lies in the Pope's arms.
The congregants chanted prayers in low voices.
There are all believers here, no one would think that someone would dare to snatch the scepter.
——In fact, you can go up and grab it now.
But the Pope is the representative of the Cyclops in the prison of sin, and the Cyclops guards the path of death.
Could it be that the Pope just left a mess and left?
No matter what, he will definitely make arrangements.
Just as Wu Xiaode was thinking this, the Book of the Dead suddenly fell, and a line of small ice crystal characters quickly appeared:
"The scepter is currently under a curse seal and cannot be used."
Wu Xiaode scratched his head.
Hell, this scepter is really sealed.
Are you afraid of being stolen?
It seems that we need to think of other ways.
besides--
And a white scepter?
He turned his eyes and scanned the crowd in the church.
Now is the final moment of destruction.
The rest of the entire Holy Cult are crowded here.
If the white scepter had not been lost——
It should be here too.
Wu Xiaode's eyes wandered for a while, then stopped in a certain corner.
The white scepter of this parallel world is leaning against a corner, and there is only a dejected bishop beside it.
"Bai, destroy that scepter in a moment." Wu Xiaode whispered.
"Okay." Bai Hu responded.
"Do you want to eat something first?" the white-robed bishop asked.
"What's there?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"Some human meat, pickled - we haven't obtained other food for a long time." The white-robed bishop said.
"Where does human flesh come from? Is it enough to eat?" Wu Xiaode asked with concern.
"All non-believers in the city have been killed, and those who are not pure believers have also been made into bacon, which can last for a long time." The white-robed bishop grinned.
Wu Xiaode's expression remained unchanged and he whispered: "They deserve it. This is the fate of those who do not believe in religion."
"Yes, they can only be eaten." The white-robed bishop said.
"By the way, I have a question - how does a new pope emerge?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"God will choose a new pope."
"How to tell?"
"He is the strongest among us."
"Yeah?"
"Yes, we will enter the competition next. The strongest person must be protected by God to be qualified to obtain the authority of the Pope."
By this time, the chanting by the believers had ended.
A bishop loudly said: "A country cannot be without a master for a day, nor can a god be without his attendants to protect him."
"Come on, if you think you are the strongest, please stand in the center of the church and accept the challenge."
The voice fell.
Wu Xiaode gently jumped and landed on the table in the middle of the church.
"I am God's chosen one, and I will lead you to follow God's steps and walk God's way on the earth!"
he said loudly.
Everyone fell silent.
A tall priest stood out from the crowd and said seriously: "Stop making trouble, I am the one chosen by the gods."
"Come and defeat me." Wu Xiaode said.
"Stubborn!" the priest walked towards him step by step.
An inexplicable power appeared on the priest.
Wu Xiaode had already fought countless times with the one-eyed giant. As soon as this power appeared, he immediately understood it.
Yes.
This priest is indeed the one chosen by the Cyclops.
But can he back down?
He took out the Zhenguo Sword from his waist——
"Broken," the priest said.
Blah blah blah!
The long knife suddenly shattered into iron filings all over the floor.
This is the sword of the Fuxi Empire!
It just broke into pieces...
"He has divine power, he is the one chosen by God!" someone shouted excitedly.
Wu Xiaode's eyes narrowed.
no.
The Pope is still digging a hole in the real world to wait for himself.
No matter what, I must get the red scepter today!
By what method?
Sword intent?
I don’t have a sword, and I have never controlled my sword intention. Besides, it does not belong to the holy religion’s fighting style, so it is not easy to be recognized...
An idea emerged in Wu Xiaode's mind.
Yes.
In fact, it can be like this...
"You must think that if you get this move from God, you are the designated candidate." Wu Xiaode said.
"Otherwise?" Priest Shi Shiran said.
"Actually, I also gained the power of the gods." Wu Xiaode said.
The priest was startled, and his face darkened.
"This is impossible...forget it, I wanted you to die directly, but now you are still blocking me, I will sacrifice your soul to God!" he said.
"White." Wu Xiaode muttered silently.
"I'm here." The white tiger came quietly.
Wu Xiaode said: "When I say that the dead are resurrected——"
Bai Hu said: "I will let the evil spirit go."
That’s it!
"Don't be angry, we are all God's servants."
Wu Xiaode looked at the priest opposite and said sincerely: "You can break weapons and have strong fighting power, but in the current situation, it is not your time to be the Pope. In fact, you are the next Pope."
"Next time? Are you serious?" the priest sneered.
"Yes, because I want to become the Pope first, carry out the will of the gods, and resurrect my companions." Wu Xiaode said.
All the noise disappeared.
The whole church was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone was watching Wu Xiaode.
"Resurrection? You mean, you gained the ability to resurrect believers?" the priest said unexpectedly.
"Yes, our dead companions will all adhere to God's will and return to us." Wu Xiaode said.
The priest said: "You are driving -"
"The dead are resurrected!" Wu Xiaode read directly.
In an instant, a man emerged from the void and stood in front of everyone.
He was wearing a long crimson robe, with a holy symbol hanging on his chest. His expression was serious, and his whole body exuded power fluctuations.
—Cardinal!
Everyone was shocked.
The priest also opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment.
"I am already sleeping in the kingdom of death, but God says - you need me." the cardinal said with a smile.
In complete silence, he saluted everyone and stood next to Wu Xiaode.
"One is not enough, we need more helpers." Wu Xiaode said.
Before he finished speaking, the sky flashed, and another person appeared in front of everyone.
archbishop!
Everyone became noisy.
The archbishop walked up to the priest, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Both the gods and the believers need you, but at this moment, it is not the time for you to serve as the pope."
Wu Xiaode was a little surprised.
From the looks of it, this is still an old acquaintance.
This is good. You have an acquaintance and are easy to talk to. It is best to convince the priest directly to avoid taking action later.
After all, he has the power bestowed by the One-Eyed Giant. If he dies, it will be difficult if the One-Eyed Giant goes berserk.
The priest stared at the archbishop carefully for a while, then suddenly said: "Seven years ago, what did you say to me on the day I entered the church?"
"I said from now on, I will take care of you and let you learn everything about the Holy Religion. The Holy Religion is your home." The Archbishop said.
The priest sighed and said: "It's really you."
"Of course it's me, and not just me," the Archbishop said.
He turned around and walked away, standing behind Wu Xiaode.
The eyes of the priest and Wu Xiaode met.
"I want to become the Pope, gain more power, and help more dead people to resurrect." Wu Xiaode said sincerely.
"But according to the oracle, only the strongest among us is qualified to become the Pope." The priest said unwillingly.
The crowd suddenly became noisy.
Many people had knelt down, facing Wu Xiaode, and chanted the classics loudly.
More and more people are joining this ranks.
The dead are resurrected!
If everyone can come back to life after death, then what is there to be afraid of?
You can just go up and fight the monster!
The priest looked at the crowd around him and sighed secretly.
What's the point of becoming the Pope if no one supports you?
"As I said before, when I complete the matter of resurrecting the dead, I will abdicate directly. At that time, the position of pope will naturally be yours, and I will assist you." Wu Xiaode said.
"Really? You have to understand that everyone is listening to your promise." The priest said.
Wu Xiaode opened his arms and said to everyone: "I hereby promise that once the resurrection of the dead is completed, I will pass the position of pope to him! Because he is the strongest!"
Everyone cheered.
In this case, there will be no more contradictions in the Holy Religion!
We can finally unite!
The priest also smiled.
Since that's the case, there's nothing to argue about.
"You have such an important mission, so I hope you can complete it," the priest said.
Wu Xiaode nodded.
"Everyone, the current situation is very dangerous. I suggest that the papal succession ceremony can start immediately." A bishop said.
"Yes, the inheritance incantation requires a total of nine most devout believers to recite it before the ritual is activated." Another believer said.
"Not just the nine of us, we all chant," the priest said proactively.
At this moment, my future status has been determined, and it is not easy to do anything else. Instead, it is the moment to show my grace.
He walked to the Pope's body and joined the procession of chanting the incantation.
Along with everyone chanting, the red scepter gradually separated from the pope's body.
It floats gently, emitting rounds of light in a fixed rhythm.
Lines of small words in ice crystals immediately appeared on the Book of the Dead:
"With the pious blessings of all believers, the vicious curse wrapped around the scepter can be unlocked, so that the power of the scepter can be awakened."
"But it has another curse."
"This heavy curse is wrapped around the scepter and will only take effect under a very special situation, so there is no need to worry."
"Now you can get it."
And a curse?
But since it's extremely special, don't worry about it.
I'm not special at all.
Wu Xiaode stepped forward and grabbed the scepter.
at the same time.
The white tiger pressed his paw lightly on the ground.
…
On the battlefield outside the city wall.
A dead monster suddenly opened its eyes.
It was confused for a while, and then gradually understood something.
This monster got up from the ground and ran towards the mountains in the distance. After a while, it rushed to the top of the mountain.
In this mountain, there is a group of powerful monsters that are resting.
There is also a giant snake hundreds of meters long in the mountain col.
"Ouch-ouch!"
the monster shouted.
The resting giant snake slowly opened its eyes.
"Hiss?" the giant snake asked, spitting out the letter.
"Ouch!" the monster shouted excitedly.
The giant snake thought for a moment and began to swim away.
It climbed out of the mountain stream and flew towards the city at the foot of the mountain.
The other monsters were not as fast, but they also started to move.
