What's even more shocking is that there is a crack in the huge statue of the goddess enshrined, which is not a good thing.
To put it simply, the situation at this time is that those who have the ability to clean up the mess either fall directly or do not have enough identity. Those who have the identity to stand up do not have such ability.
The manor suddenly fell into a state of leaderlessness. Fang Linyan was speechless about this, so he could only step forward as the Templar Commander to take over the affairs of the manor.
His response method is also to cut through the mess with a sharp knife. If he encounters anyone who doesn't obey the instructions and greetings, he will just kick him!
If they still keep nagging and pestering, then just knock them out and knock them out.
After Fang Linyan's rough and effective treatment, the entire manor quickly returned to normal, and Fang Linyan directly picked up a stool and sat at the door of the chapel. Anyone who wanted to enter had to go through him.
This is because the holy statue is damaged and is unsightly, so no one can visit it, lest believers' faith be shaken and the goddess lose fans.
Fang Linyan sat at the door of the chapel until midnight when he suddenly saw a white owl flying out of it, but it was already a translucent illusion. It was obvious that the goddess was also seriously injured.
After the owl landed on Fang Linyan's shoulder, it conveyed a message:
"Well done. Without you, there would have been more trouble this time."
Fang Linyan said:
"This is what I should do."
The goddess once again delivered relevant information:
"I'm very weak now. You have to stay here to protect me for two days."
Fang Linyan nodded:
"no problem."
Fang Linyan continued to guard here for more than ten hours, but did not notice any unusual movement.
The goddess's current enemy is Oda Nobunaga of the East, but this guy suffered a big loss not long ago. Even if he notices something this time, he probably needs to evaluate it carefully to avoid falling into a trap.
For Fang Linyan, it was no big deal even if he didn't sleep for a day or two at this time, so he continued to patrol around.
Suddenly, Fang Linyan's eyes stopped on a figure that was approaching quickly, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The man who came was pale and haggard, but his elegance remained the same. It was the high priest Trito Goliath who came back in time.
Although the goddess can send down oracles, because the gods cannot stay in the human world for too long and are subject to many restrictions, their responses will be quite slow.
The high priest Tritogonia is equivalent to the spokesperson of the goddess in the mortal world. With her, handling various affairs will not be too rigid, and direct contact with the goddess is equivalent to having a transit station.
When the high priest came to him, Fang Linyan sighed and said:
"I'm sorry, I really didn't know that the things I brought this time would cause such a big stir and cause you such great harm."
The high priest shook his head and said simply:
"This has nothing to do with you. This treasure is more important to the goddess than you think. Even if the scepter of Father God (Zeus) reappears, the goddess will choose the Divine Comedy without hesitation. At this stage
, the importance of the Divine Comedy to her is very great, and no treasure can compare with it."
After hearing this, Fang Linyan took a breath and said:
"Does the goddess still plan to continue trying?"
The high priest said calmly:
"For such a treasure, no matter how high the price is, it is worth it."
"Let's put it this way, the treasure of the Divine Comedy is equivalent to a door. Once it can be opened, it will allow the goddess to come into contact with other enemies of different gods while having the power of the home field. After destroying the opponent, she will have a deeper understanding of it.
The law of its origin, the law of plunder, the law of perfection!”
"In our original world, the gods had too few opponents, which also meant that there were too few resources. Therefore, only Zeus had the hope of becoming the supreme god, but he also fell below the threshold."
"With this treasure, the goddess is equivalent to having a ready-made path to the highest divine level, and this is an opportunity that she was not able to touch when she was in her prime!"
Fang Linyan sighed and said:
"The problem is that this treasure has a very powerful sealing power. To be honest, although the goddess is powerful, in the face of this power that even surpasses the Creator, there is almost no chance of breaking through this layer of sealing on your own.
"
Who was the high priest? He immediately keenly caught the unfinished meaning in Fang Linyan's words and said immediately:
"Can we still find help in this matter?"
Fang Linyan said seriously:
"Then how determined is the goddess to obtain the Divine Comedy?"
The high priest said without hesitation:
"at all costs!"
Fang Linyan hesitated and said:
"If that's the case, I have an idea here..."
***
Probably because she also felt that the chance of breaking through the seal was slim, the goddess basically agreed to the infinite space proposal without giving it much thought. Her decisiveness really surprised Fang Linyan.
After obtaining the brand of infinite space, the goddess easily gained control of the "Divine Comedy", and this legendary-quality treasure was directly bound to her body.
In this way, she can continuously inject willing power into it to charge the "Divine Comedy". The charging of the Divine Comedy has already reached an astonishing 98%, so the goddess did not spend too much.
resources, directly increasing the charging effect to 100%.
However, the goddess was not in a hurry to summon the prey. Instead, she completely immersed her mind in the legendary treasure "Divine Comedy" and carefully studied its structure and operation. This research lasted almost a week.
During this week, Fang Linyan naturally worked overtime to supervise the production of energy blocks, which was still crucial to him.
At the same time, during the break, Fang Linyan did not forget to visit Yin Fulina, who was seriously injured. Ahem, as the saying goes, a couple's kindness lasts a hundred days. After all, Fang Linyan is not a goat, and he still can't do anything ruthless.
However, he soon discovered a very embarrassing thing, that is, every time he went to visit Yinfulina, the high priest Tritogonia would always appear in time and accompany him there calmly.
This made Fang Linyan very depressed. It is said that there is something called eating the marrow to know the taste. According to Fang Linyan's judgment, if she wanted to do something extreme, such as swatting Yin Fulina from mosquitoes, she would probably not do it.
will refuse.
But some things can't be done in front of the high priest! Speaking of facing the high priest, Fang Linyan doesn't know why, but always feels a little inexplicable guilty...
Seeing that he would soon be able to return to space, Fang Linyan was also looking forward to it. After all, he had also drawn up a series of follow-up plans that he wanted to implement.
At this moment, the old housekeeper suddenly came over and announced that the high priest was at the chapel to invite him. However, it was already two o'clock in the morning, which was not a regular time for discussion.
Fang Linyan's heart moved, and he knew that the goddess must have completely controlled the powerful treasure "Divine Comedy", so he told him to go over and take action.
After quickly arriving at the chapel again, Fang Linyan found that just as he had guessed, except for the high priest Tritogonia, the other three chief priests and twelve female priests were all present and praying devoutly.
With.
There are dozens of fanatic believers standing nearby. It can be said that all the core believers of the goddess are gathered here. If these people are all killed at this time, the goddess's situation will even be as embarrassing as when she first entered the world.
As soon as Fang Linyan entered the chapel, he saw that the gorgeous and majestic statue of the goddess in front of him had been restored to its original state, but what attracted his attention even more was the change in the icon of the goddess.
The previous statues of goddesses held the statue of the Goddess of Victory in their left hand (in the plot of Saint Seiya, this thing was Athena's Holy Cloth), and their right hand held the shield at their feet: the Holy Shield Aegis.
But now, the posture of the goddess statue itself remains unchanged, but in the palm of her left hand, there is actually a golden book!!
It can be seen that the shape of this golden book looks familiar, but its surface alternately shines with pure white, lava color, and blood-red strange light, and then these lights will condense into strange words or symbols, or mysterious ones.
, either terrifying or frightening...
Fang Linyan was curious and sent a scout up. Because he had a very close relationship with the goddess, he actually obtained some information.
Among all this information, what shocked Fang Linyan the most was that the name of this treasure was still called Divine Comedy, but its quality had been improved by another level!
What appeared in front of Fang Linyan was the words: quasi-artifact.
When he thought of this, Fang Linyan suddenly said:
"Congratulations to the goddess! You can actually improve the quality of this treasure to a higher level!"
Seeing Fang Linyan coming, the high priest standing under the statue of the goddess quickly ended the prayer ceremony and then said:
"Rest for twenty minutes first."
Then he motioned to Fang Linyan to follow him to the lounge at the back.
After arriving inside, the high priest said to Fang Linyan:
"You have good taste. You can tell at a glance that the quality of this treasure has improved."
Fang Linyan smiled and said:
"It stands to reason that repairing such treasures should belong to the clerical field of Hephaestus (God of Craftsman/God of Fire/Forging). It is really admirable that the goddess can do this beyond the clergy."
High Priest Tritogonia said:
"This is possible because this treasure is very special and the goddess also paid a high price."
Fang Linyan’s wonder:
"Oh? What a special method."
The high priest said:
"Do you know the origin of this treasure?"
Fang Linyan nodded and said:
"You probably know a little bit. In order to save a woman named Lucia, a guy named Dante broke into the three terrifying alien planes of heaven, hell, and purgatory. Then he suddenly disappeared when he was at his peak, leaving behind
Got this book.”
After hearing what Fang Linyan said, the high priest nodded and said:
"That's pretty much it... However, Dante didn't disappear suddenly. He had planned it."
Fang Linyan’s wonder:
"oh?"
The high priest said:
"Dante himself is not an ordinary person --- it is impossible for ordinary people to have the powerful power to travel in and out of the three places of heaven, hell, and purgatory. He is a devil-human hybrid, and he has appeared
Powerful mutation."
"There is a saying: Those who stare into the abyss are also being stared into by the abyss. While fighting the enemies of heaven, hell, and purgatory, Dante absorbed their power in order to become stronger, but he also suffered from these enemies invisibly.
of pollution.”
"So, Dante actually had a lot of hidden dangers in his body. After he finally rescued Lucia, his obsession was satisfied, so he fell under the temptation of eternal life."
Fang Linyan said in surprise:
"The temptation of eternal life? Fall?"
The high priest said:
"Yes, the devil is cunning and greedy. He is best at capturing the greed in people's hearts and causing them to fall. In comparison, although the devil is stronger, it is much easier to deal with."
Fang Linyan said in astonishment:
"Aren't demons and demons the same type of creature? Why are they mentioned separately?"
The high priest shook his head and said:
"No, no, no, you must have misunderstood something. These are two completely different types of creatures!"
"If you want to mention the devil, you must first talk about angels. They are creatures born from order. They are old enemies with the devil, which represents chaos, and have been fighting for countless years. Angels live in heaven, and devils live in purgatory."
"When some powerful angels killed too many demons, they were infected with the aura of Chaos. The leader among them was Lucifer. However, this guy fell due to the infection of Chaos and became a fallen angel.
.”
"With the increase in the number of fallen angels, Lucifer also changed his name to Satan, ranking first among the seven devils, and established hell!"
"So, strictly speaking, devils and angels have the same origin, but they are just the dark side of angels. They are an evil and lawful creature, and they are the same mortal enemies as the devils who represent chaos!"
At this time, Fang Linyan suddenly realized the difference, and he pondered for a while and said:
"So how exactly did Dante fall?"
The high priest said:
"Dante absorbed the power of the angels, demons, and devils he killed. Although it could temporarily increase their strength, it caused great sequelae."
"By the time he finally broke out of purgatory, it was actually very difficult to maintain the balance of power in his body. It would only take a year or two for the physical body to break down."
Fang Linyan was shocked when he heard the secret, but after thinking about it carefully, he found it reasonable.
But I heard the high priest continue:
"Dante had just rescued his lover, and of course he didn't want to die like this, so he gave up his body under the temptation of the devil, and used the secret method of the devil to refine his body into this divine song. His own soul was used as a weapon.
The soul exists.”
"The original power of Dante's body formed the prototype of this book. The power of angels, demons, and devils absorbed in it was used to shape the three realms of heaven, hell, and purgatory in the book!"
"Then, those who obtain this book will be tempted by the whispers of the devil and fall. They will continue to collect energy for the Divine Comedy, thinking that after collecting enough energy, they can summon various kinds of monsters based on their human weaknesses.
Plant ancient gods to satisfy their various greeds."
