The Pope finished outlining the last rune, took out a glass of wine from the void, and sipped it gently.
"Kill you and use your head as a sacrifice for the founding ceremony tomorrow morning..."
"Will this irritate the Fuxi Empire?"
"No matter what, God will protect everything. If they want to use nuclear bombs, then let mankind perish."
The Pope murmured.
While sipping his wine, he thought over the whole plan.
Your actions will greatly please the gods.
Considering her many outstanding achievements and her hard work for the Holy Religion, the gods should resurrect her.
After all, God himself promised Himself.
The Pope was lost in thought, so he simply moved a chair and sat down, quietly waiting for Wu Xiaode's return.
Time passes slowly.
at some point.
Some invisible ripples appeared in the void.
"It's coming back...it's really exciting."
The Pope held the wine glass in one hand and tapped the ground lightly with his scepter in the other hand.
The runes all over the arena lit up.
The power of the sacrificial array was continuously strengthened, forming pieces of holy light that crisscrossed back and forth in the void, forming huge runes full of power, suspended in the sky above the arena.
Nothing happens, just waiting for that person to arrive.
A few more breaths passed.
Wu Xiaode's voice suddenly sounded from the void:
"Darkness calls."
Then, a black and white scepter appeared.
The deep ruby on the top of the scepter flashed.
An inexplicable pressure spread across the entire venue.
The Pope looked stern and shouted: "I will sacrifice my life to the other side!"
The entire arena burst into light.
Those powerful runes quickly formed a spell that was about to come down.
But the next moment——
All runes became dimmed.
Deep in the sky above the arena, a crimson meteorite was falling rapidly.
The power of the sacrificial array fluctuated in front of this meteor, and it was nothing.
boom--
The meteorite hit the arena, completely blasting through the entire sacrifice array and the arena.
The sacrifice array collapsed directly!
"...Why do you have the power of God..."
The Pope murmured.
He looked at the red scepter in his hand, and then at the black and white scepter inlaid with rubies in Wu Xiaode's hand, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
"You have been fighting for the Holy Religion for so many years, don't you even know this?" Wu Xiaode said.
"What's up?"
The Pope shouted lowly.
He waved the red scepter, causing the holy lights in the void to fly back and wrap around the scepter, ready to release the bottom-of-the-box attack technique at any time.
"'God' is actually a cunning, greedy, shameless, and renegade guy. He treats humans as food." Wu Xiaode said slowly.
"How dare you - dare to blaspheme the majesty of God, I want you to die!" the pope shouted angrily.
His scepter emitted a brilliant light and turned into a giant hammer several meters high out of thin air, slamming it down towards Wu Xiaode.
Wu Xiaode saw the opportunity early and launched a "side dodge" before the giant hammer fell, avoiding the point of attack.
But the power of this hammer is beyond imagination.
The entire ground was smashed into a deep pit of tens of meters, and the powerful shock wave blew Wu Xiaode away.
He drifted to the other side of the arena and said:
"I have a question for you."
"Go to hell and ask ghosts, you sinner!" The Pope once again raised the giant hammer condensed with holy light and shouted angrily.
"The person you love has been eaten by 'gods', don't you know?"
Wu Xiaode said.
The giant hammer, carrying strong wind pressure, whizzed towards Wu Xiaode.
But at the last moment.
It stopped.
"What did you say?" the pope asked sullenly.
"Yes, before you die, I will tell you the truth of the matter as a thank you gift for stealing that thing from me." Wu Xiaode said.
The Pope looked confused.
"Let's put it simply, you in the parallel world did me a favor, so I feel like I owe you a favor, so I just told you the truth." Wu Xiaode said.
"It's impossible... God promised me..." the Pope said.
"How can a person like you believe other people's casual promises? In fact, you know the answer, but you just don't dare to admit it, right?" Wu Xiaode said calmly.
The Pope opened his mouth, then closed it silently.
"Well, my feedback has been sent, now it's time for us to settle accounts." Wu Xiaode said.
He thrust the scepter hard into the ground in front of him, pointed at the holy hammer in the Pope's hand and said:
"I want one of that thing too."
The words just fell.
Three patriarchs, two cardinals, four cardinals, ten archbishops and elders walked out of the void around Wu Xiaode.
The Pope immediately looked straight in his eyes.
Because some people actually have two!
Just like twins!
"You went to the Holy See in a parallel world!" the Pope said in a daze.
Wu Xiaode said nothing.
All the believers around him chanted incantations to the staff in unison.
A majestic holy light that almost reached the sky and the earth appeared from the void, condensed into a tens-meter-long holy light giant hammer, with a scepter as the end of the hammer's handle, standing quietly in the dark sky.
Wu Xiaode put one hand in his pocket, raised his scepter with the other, and said with a smile:
"Sorry, my hammer seems bigger than yours."
The Pope said: "You——"
Before he could finish his words, Wu Xiaode's giant hammer of holy light had already been smashed down hard!
The Pope hurriedly used the Holy Light Hammer in his hand to resist.
But the Holy Light Hammer in his hand is only a few meters high and has limited power, while the hammer opposite is made of dozens of powerful professionals.
The two sides are not on the same level at all!
boom--
The entire arena was smashed into powder and disappeared in an instant.
There was a flash of void.
This world has disappeared.
Wu Xiaode found himself and the Pope back in the square in front of the Holy Church.
The pope was lying on the ground, dying.
The Pope grabbed the stone floor with both hands and said sternly: "Why? Why do you have so many followers!"
"Gods feed on all living beings. After you die, ask the gods. If they don't eat you, maybe you will know the answer." Wu Xiaode said.
He thought for a second, then sighed and said, "Well, I'm a soft-hearted person, so I'll just tell you the answer."
He turned the scepter in his hand at will, lowered his voice, and said in a tone of telling a secret:
"As for me, the God who promises to feed you—"
"As soon as it heard that it had something to eat, it lent me the power of the scepter without hesitation."
The Pope stared at him with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.
Wu Xiaode's expression suddenly turned cold.
"Let's get down to business."
He raised the scepter and hung it over the Pope's head and said: "You have sacrificed countless people to the ladder to heaven, but you must have never known what it feels like."
A burst of red light emitted from the scepter.
There was a tremor in the ground.
The pope's face changed drastically, he spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "Kill me!"
"Do your part for the coming of God, Pope, isn't this your belief?" Wu Xiaode said.
The words have not yet fallen.
Long black hands stretched out from the ground.
They grabbed hold of the Pope's limbs and torso and immediately dragged him underground.
"Kill me! Wu Xiaode, I beg you once, I don't want to be part of the ladder!"
The Pope shouted hysterically.
Wu Xiaode leaned down and whispered in his ear: "Think about those people who were sacrificed by you."
"I know I was wrong, I know! Don't sacrifice me to the ladder to heaven - that's not what life should bear!"
The Pope gasped: "You can't be like our Holy Religion, Wu Xiaode, then what's the difference between you and me!"
Wu Xiaode squatted in front of him, patted his shoulder with understanding and said:
"Those of us who live on the streets are generally timid and afraid of getting into trouble, but when we really decide to fight, we will fight until you die."
"There was a massacre of a village before, and an entire hospital was killed later. If I don't kill you, you will feel uncomfortable."
He sighed and continued talking:
"So I won't spare you, please forgive me."
"As compensation, I'm going to tell you something -"
"I will destroy your country today."
"The grudge between you and me has been wiped out."
"The green mountains will not change, the green waters will always flow, and we will see you again in the world."
Dense black hands stretched out, grabbed the Pope, and dragged him deep underground amidst his desperate roar.
The pope's voice gradually disappeared.
A few breaths have passed.
The surroundings returned to silence.
Wu Xiaode was still staring at the soft soil on the ground in trance.
One after another, bishops, cardinals, and patriarchs emerged from the darkness.
They stood in a circle around Wu Xiaode.
Wu Xiaode did not raise his head, but just said: "Go, kill the people around you, and then mobilize them to kill the people around you, and keep killing until all the believers are killed."
"yes."
Everyone responded and walked into the darkness.
The white tiger appeared quietly.
"I know all the experiences of the ghosts, so I have something to remind you." it said.
"What?" Wu Xiaode said.
"There are too many believers, spread all over the country. Even Fuxi has many hidden believers. I'm afraid I won't be able to kill them all in one night." Bai Hu said.
"Find someone who can talk things over." Wu Xiaode said.
A patriarch emerged from the darkness and stood before him.
"The time is now 2:15 in the morning, can we still hold a press conference?" Wu Xiaode said.
"No problem, what news do you want to announce?" the Patriarch asked.
"According to the Pope's last words, he said that he had received an oracle and asked all believers to express their loyalty."
"The general content is——"
"Go and die yourself. If you do this, you will be a loyal believer in God;"
"If you can't do it, your personal beliefs are not firm and you are deemed unqualified to become a member of the Holy Religion. You will be immediately revoked as a member, withdraw from the Holy Religion, and become an enemy of the Holy Religion from now on."
"That's basically what it means. As for how to say it specifically and how to express it, you guys are probably better at deceiving me than I am."
"There must be a resolution at dawn."
"Yes." said the Patriarch.
"Just do it." Wu Xiaode said.
The Patriarch retreated into the darkness and quietly disappeared.
White Tiger listened silently, then licked his paws and said, "My merit is almost here."
"I guess we will have to kill for a while," Wu Xiaode said.
"There will be no new twists and turns in this matter. I already feel that merit will befall you and me." Bai Hu said.
As soon as it finished speaking, the Book of the Dead was opened.
Lines of small words in ice crystals appear on the page:
"The commission is about to be completed."
"You paid 1 point of merit."
"The white tiger did not accept your soul power because it has gained a lot of merit and decided that your soul power is not worth collecting anymore."
"You receive the merit it allocates to you."
"Current remaining merit: 5."
Wu Xiaode looked at Bai Hu.
Bai Hu narrowed his eyes with satisfaction and whispered: "This commission is really a good deal."
