The supplicant's hand sank into Pope Visa's chest, and it looked like it had been stretched into a puddle of water. There were no wounds or bleeding, and nothing caused much pain to the other party.
When he pulled his hand back, there was something like a badge in his palm.
Pope Visa's face suddenly became extremely pale, and he collapsed on the ground. He was still gasping for breath. He opened his eyes wide again, stared at the supplicant in front of him, and asked intermittently:
"How...how do you...know..."
Such a badge-like thing is the top secret of the Visa Order, and only two people in the entire Order know its existence and value.
One is the now dying pope, wearing a formal miter on his head.
One is the chief priest who is currently staying in the country and wears a crown of thorns on his head.
At this time, the Visa Pope asked the question just now and knew who the real betrayer was.
“A pleasure to work with~”
The supplicant put the badge into his arms, and released the magic thread from his hand, which attached to Prince Rhodes' body, allowing him to stand and bow to the completely despairing Visa cultists around him.
Then, the two figures disappeared into the cabin.
The cabins suspended in mid-air also instantly lost the power to maintain their suspension, and fell one after another, smashing into pieces of debris on the ground.
Not a single survivor...
In this battle, all the elite members of the Visa Order came out, they were fierce, they were confident, and they were sure of victory.
Then, they were all wiped out.
The supplicant and Prince Rhodes, who left the airship, instantly appeared in Archmage Anthony's mage tower.
Seeing the two people appearing, Anthony quickly activated the barrier that had been placed in the mage tower.
From the first day he arrived in the City of Innocence, he had been secretly setting up this large barrier.
As the barrier was activated, a complex magic circle lit up in the open space in the middle of the magic laboratory. The supplicant took out the stolen badge from his arms and used magic power to push it to the center of the magic circle.
The entire mage tower suddenly let out a low roar, and its appearance began to emit a faint cold light.
A few wisps of rapidly escaping black smoke in the sky were attracted by this cold light, came closer, and then automatically converged into the badge.
That was part of the Dark Angel Elliot. In order to avoid the pursuit of the Mechanical Angel, he let himself fall apart and then fled in all directions. Although the Mechanical Angel lost his target for a while, it also gave others an opportunity to take advantage of it.
.
Part of his power was attracted by the barrier in the mage tower and was sucked into the badge.
It is very pure and pure angel power, and the amount is huge, as much as one-tenth!
Such a rich harvest made the supplicant unable to help but smile.
But he stopped laughing immediately, because he keenly felt that a terrifying sight that could suffocate a demigod was coming from the direction of the Innocence City.
Just the sight of him made the strongest demigod on earth dare not move or even turn his eyes.
The Archmage Anthony next to him rolled his eyes and passed out.
Only Prince Ross, who was essentially just a puppet, was in a good condition and quickly exclaimed:
"No, Gallo has discovered it, run away!"
Being reminded by his voice, the supplicant quickly came to his senses, quickly activated the space teleportation, and left the mage tower with the two people around him.
When their figures appeared again, they had arrived in a city thousands of miles away.
It is a magical city suspended in mid-air.
This is the base camp of the Prayer School, ‘City in the Sky’
The supplicant activated teleportation again, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they returned to his own mage tower.
After a little recollection of what he had just experienced, the young face of the supplicant showed an excited smile and said with emotion:
"Is that 'Gallo'?"
"It's almost too strong to be like an angel..."
As he spoke, he licked his lips in an unsightly manner, and then said to Prince Ross beside him:
"No wonder you are obsessed with his power and don't hesitate to do crazy things for it."
"However, our trip has been fruitful and quite satisfactory."
Prince Ross smiled and said half-jokingly and half-seriously:
"The world calls you a 'supplicant,' but in my opinion, you should be called a 'speculator.'"
The supplicant did not refute this statement, but gently rubbed the badge filled with angelic power, with a satisfied smile on his face.
What he played in this campaign was that of a speculator who bets on both sides.
He discussed cooperation with the Visayas and promised to provide them with support.
If the Mechanical Angel is defeated in the end, he will fulfill his promise without hesitation, help the Visans rule the Innocence City, and use other means to steal the power of the Mechanical Angel.
But at the same time, he also sold the ancient crown to those who needed it through the auction channel.
He firmly believed that as long as he released the crown, it would be obtained by the right person, because it originally belonged to 'Gallo'.
And if Elliot loses in the end, he will not hesitate to add insult to injury just like before.
This kind of speculative behavior of betting on both sides and going with the flow can be said to be very disgraceful and not at all what the strongest demigod on earth should do.
But the supplicant doesn't care.
He has no clear position and no clear enemies. He is not looking for money, let alone power. His purpose is very simple, just to take the last half step.
And this time he successfully grabbed the angelic power and the angel emblem, a secret sacred object used by the Visa Order to summon angels, which will most likely help him take this last half step.
But the slight flaw is that he failed to obtain Gallo's power.
He is obviously much more powerful than Elliot!
This made the supplicant feel a little regretful. Was the crown given too hastily?
However, he has been studying the crown for who knows how many years, but has never made any progress. If he hadn't happened to meet the betrayer, he might still not know its true origin.
There is obviously no point in keeping this kind of thing in hand. Being able to exchange it for an angel's power and angel emblem is obviously the most cost-effective deal.
The supplicant is not the kind of person who likes to worry about gains and losses. He quickly calmed down and said:
"I need to retreat and study immediately. I don't want to be disturbed by others. You should be able to control the situation on the Visa side, right?"
"It depends on whether you can fulfill your promise as promised."
Prince Rhodes replied.
"We mages have always kept our promises."
The supplicant said with a smile, and then snapped his fingers.
Prince Rhodes's eyes suddenly went blank for a while, as if his soul had left his body.
But he quickly returned to normal and started laughing:
"Very good, the items have been received. Now, I will be busy cleaning up the situation on the Visa side."
The two finally looked at each other and smiled, saying in unison:
"Looking forward to your good news."
After saying that, Prince Rhodes's eyes lost sight again, and his entire body lost its soul and turned into an empty shell.
The supplicant shot an ice ray from his fingers, freezing his entire body, and then teleported him to a secret warehouse.
This puppet may be useful in the future, so it needs to be kept well.
As for the future cooperation with the famous betrayer...
At least now that we have control over each other, the supplicant will not think too much about this.
But if I can take that step in time, then there is no need to worry, and there is no need to associate with this notorious guy.
So he took the time to start his own research with good expectations in mind.
---------------
This is the city of innocence.
After looking around and confirming that there was no danger, the Mechanical Angel deliberately let his chest flash with a red and a dark light, then rose into the sky, and his body dissipated into wisps of light and dust.
These light dust scattered everywhere, and finally re-condensed in the garden of Miya Church, forming Gallo and Amiya hugging him tightly from behind.
Gallo's figure had just stabilized when he immediately fell softly to the ground and then fell asleep in a daze.
He was really tired this time.
On the contrary, Amiya still looked very energetic. She reached out and turned Gallo over, hugged her face to face, and pressed his face into her chest.
Then, she called over her black gold demon doll body, and let her thick arms form the shape of a cradle, wrapping both of them in it.
Amiya lay in her arms and looked at Gallo in front of her silently, as if looking at some precious treasure. She stretched out one hand to gently caress his cheek, while the other hand continued to hug him.
He held Gallo's waist and brought him closer.
Gallo had a nightmare.
This is not the kind of coherent dream, but a lot of scattered fragments mixed together. Sometimes he flies freely in the sky, sometimes he looks down at the earth and enjoys the worship of all living beings, and sometimes he is interacting with all kinds of strange things.
The enemy fights to the death...
There were also many very fragmented images that kept flashing before his eyes, causing his brain to feel a tearing pain.
Until the end of the dream, he suddenly came to a mysterious white space. There was no other scenery around, let alone other colors. Looking around, it was all white flowers.
This is a bit like the time when he accidentally fell down and threw his face into Captain Undine's chest.
Very suddenly, a petite and cute figure appeared in front of him, wearing a white dress, with bare feet, and her whole body exuded the smell of copper, but her face was covered with a soft veil, and her face could not be seen clearly.
True appearance.
This petite figure took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, just like Lilian Luo usually acted coquettishly, rubbing gently on his belly.
Gallo uncontrollably hugged her gently with his backhand, and then said in a strange way:
"It's okay, I don't blame you, you've always been such a bad guy anyway..."
"I'm fine, my opponent is worse than you, I gave him a good lesson!"
"Look back, let's give his master a hard lesson..."
These words were not what he was thinking at all, and he had no idea what they meant, but he couldn't help but say them.
After saying this, Gallo felt as if he had woken up.
But there was darkness before his eyes, and he couldn't hear any sound in his ears, as if he had entered a state of half-dream and half-awake.
In this state, he gradually regained his ability to think and recalled his previous battle with the Dark Angel.
This battle is different from before.
Gallo clearly remembers what he did. He remembers how to break the darkness, how to rub the dark angel. He also remembers how to use power to make himself move so fast that the naked eye can't see it. He also remembers what technique he should use to get there.
Respond to enemy authority attacks.
But he didn't know why he did that at the time.
At that time, it was as if there was another person taking his hand and performing various operations. It felt like someone was taking the call?
If this were not the case, he highly doubted whether he could defeat that powerful dark angel.
Although the Dark Angel was bullied miserably, Gallo himself still clearly realized how powerful this enemy was.
He holds the power of two powers, including a super field control method like 'Dream' and a mass-destructive skill like 'Darkness'. At the same time, he also has the protection of gods and can recover infinitely.
The key point is that he is not like the brainless evil god and the completely chaotic star god before. He has a clear mind and ideas, is prepared, and chooses the wisest strategy of delaying. He is also very cunning, not only making sneak attacks, but also launching insidious attacks.
counterattack.
In addition to being slightly inferior in character, He is much more difficult to deal with than the enemies in the previous two incidents.
If he didn't fight for him and let himself transform into a half-angel or a one-horned angel to fight with him, Gallo thought that his chances of winning would be very low...
Fortunately, this time, the performance of Mechanical Angel is strong enough, and the proxy fight is also very powerful. It can be said that it has exerted its strongest strength.
Thinking of this, a thought popped into Gallo's mind unconsciously:
Isn't there any substitute for fighting? Isn't this a matter of course? With my strength, it should be easy to deal with this kind of chickens and dogs.
The emergence of this thought made his heart thump, and he felt a strong sense of danger.
All along, whether it was what the old bishop instilled in him or his understanding of himself, he felt that he was still weak and not strong enough. He still needed to continue to work hard, and he had always adhered to the doctrine of modesty and prudence.
He definitely shouldn't have thought like that just now!
But he also understood that the arrogant thoughts he had before came from himself and were not imposed or instilled by others.
There was no other figure talking to him in his mind, nor was there another soul competing with him for control of his body.
He could clearly feel that he was still himself, but he seemed to be a little different.
Is this the change that comes with wearing the crown of power?
Will I just become a different person?
Become the 'King of Angels' that Elliot calls him?
The more Gallo thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he suddenly woke up.
