Chapter 385 Cause and Effect
"Don't be so sad, Lord Mayne," Zero said with her hands behind her back, walking slowly around the square, "The church was originally established by the Federation, and what Your Majesty did was just to give the witch a chance to return to its original owner. .If you win, you can also get my memory and experience—that is the wealth accumulated over two hundred years.”
It turned out that it was very strange for Zero to activate the image of the Reflection Church. No matter how much she was loved by the Pope, she was just a pure person, and it should be impossible for her to get in touch with the deepest secrets of the church. Unfortunately, I ignored this at the time. Mayne was silent for a moment before speaking: "If you win, where do you plan to take the church?"
"Lead to victory," she said, raising her head, "or perish... Anyway, it can't be the fjord islands."
"What!"
"Do you think that no one really knows about the secret order you issued?" Zero's tone revealed a trace of sarcasm, "Before the war came, some supplies were embezzled and shipped to the Everwinter Seaport to repair ships and support sailors. In addition Picking a large number of scapegoats to hang on the gallows is a big deal, and it is almost impossible to hide it from the eyes of the church."
Damn it, O'Brien actually handed over all the intelligence agencies of the Privy Council to her, "What does that mean! As the pope, of course, I have to think a little further, to allow the church to continue to exist as a last resort go down."
"I'm afraid you don't believe what you said?" Jie Luo sneered, "As soon as I took over the scepter in front of many believers, I began to think about my own future. The belief in winning—you, a mortal like you, want to win the smile of God?"
"What kind of shit god's smile!" Mayne couldn't help roaring, "If it really favors us, how can it make human beings lose again and again?" He took two deep breaths, and said in a low voice, "And, with In the end, the devil's battle depends on the God's Punishment Army, time is the most urgent thing, and what can you change."
"No, it's not just the God's Punishment Army," Zero said softly, "The fate of mankind should not be entrusted to only a small group of people."
"Is it up to you witches?" Mayne sneered twice, "Don't forget how your compatriots were defeated more than four hundred years ago!"
"Witches are just a small group of human beings." She stopped and looked directly at the Pope. The light in her eyes made him feel chilly. "This is a decisive battle that determines the fate of human beings. Naturally, every Men and women are involved—men, women, and children alike, to be honored warriors, rushing forward and afterward into battle until the devil is defeated, or ... all die."
"Absurd, it's your plan to let those civilians who are so frightened to fight the devil just by seeing the evil beast? I don't know what it means—" Mayne was stunned suddenly, and the other party's expression didn't seem to be joking. , but in a serious narrative of their own plans. The only thing that can make civilians have combat capabilities is...
"You want to feed everyone Kuanghua Pills?" He opened his mouth in disbelief.
"One berserker is not as good as God's Punishment Warrior, how about ten?" Zero tilted her head and said, "Now is the time when evil beasts are flooding, not only the supply of raw materials is stable, but the secret area may be able to research a few more. A new formula. After five years, the church will be able to store three or four million pills, what does that mean?" She paused, "It means that in addition to the God's Punishment Army, the Holy City can send as many as A berserk army of millions of people participated in the war against the devil."
"You... crazy!"
"Crazy? You guys underestimated the Doomsday War!" The Pure One suddenly shouted, "Whether it's the Federation or the Church, all you think of is to use a small force to resist the enemy's best blow, and you can't fail." It is reasonable. In the face of this war, no one can stay out of it, and it is impossible for ordinary people to hide behind the God's Punishment Army or the witch forever - as I said before, this is a battle of fate, and everyone should do their best Go all the way, so that you are qualified to compete with the devil in the barren land!"
It is absolutely impossible for a pure person raised by the church to say such a thing. This is... the will of the conqueror. Mayne's face was as white as paper, "You are... a real bastard!"
Your Majesty O'Brien, did you really foresee all this?
"Accepting knowledge is a process of self-change, and the integration of ideas will bring about progress." Zero took a deep breath. "Perhaps, we should end the conversation and decide who is the leader of the church."
"Don't think you're guaranteed to win," the Pope gritted his teeth, "This is the world I built!"
As the words fell to the ground, bursts of red mist suddenly rose from under his feet, spreading around. Zero was startled for a moment, then choked her throat, and let out a scream. The skin on her face was like curly orange peel, wrinkled and peeled off piece by piece, and the oozing blood flowed wantonly, and soon she lost her shape.
"This is the devil's fog stored in the secret organ, and it is only harmful to witches with magic power," Mayne said angrily while standing in the red fog, "If I fill the entire square with it, you will be counted as one." With all means, I can only struggle painfully in the fog, dying again and again!"
"Really?" A gust of wind suddenly blew away at the scene, sweeping away the red mist around the Pure One, and the newly revived Zero said, enduring the severe pain, "As expected of the new Pope, there are some new things hidden, if you Going to the library of the Privy Palace at the beginning, I am afraid that this battle will be more difficult-of course, this is also the fun of the battle of souls."
This is... the wind magic stone? Mayne noticed that there was an extra ring embedded with green spar on her finger. The magic stone had a limited range of action. He only needed to distance himself and use God's Stone of Retaliation to destroy the barrier. However, just in case, he still had to make some preparations. His thoughts turned sharply, and he constructed two crazy pills, which he swallowed in one go.
"Oh, a wise choice," Jie Luo grinned, "Your biggest shortcoming is that you are not good at fighting. Two-color pills can enhance your physical strength, agility, and tolerance to pain. It's not that convenient anymore."
Mayne ignored the other party, he moved to a position where the magic stone could not affect at all, and concentrated on creating God's Stone of Retaliation. At this moment, the berserker drug had already taken effect, and he felt his power growing rapidly, and his vision became extremely clear. With the God Stone in his hand, it was like possessing the most effective weapon against witches. If she dared to rush over, she would immediately die in the red mist erosion.
The other party is also constructing its own weapon - what is that? A two-handed sword?
It's easy to understand if it's a bow and crossbow, what does she need a sword for? Moreover, the shape of that long sword is also very strange. I can only see that the sword is as wide as a body, and several spars are inlaid on it one by one, as if it has been seen somewhere.
Then Jie Luo raised the weapon in her hand, "Did you know that in the hallucination room in the Reflection Church, there is not only one copy of the video records left."
"What's the meaning?"
"Have you forgotten what His Majesty O'Brien said? The battle between Akaris and Natalya was also completely recorded by the Federation," she said word by word, "In addition to devouring, watching and Learning is also my forte."
After finishing speaking, the spars on the sword lit up one by one, as if foreshadowing something, and then a dazzling golden light emerged from the blade, instantly tearing through the red mist and heading straight into the sky. As if responding to this force, the sky also shone with light.
"What... what ability is this?" Mayne's eyes widened.
What answered him was a golden light that engulfed everything. In an instant, the whole world disintegrated in this golden light.

The hanging cage slowly landed on the ground of the Shenshi Cave.
Zero threw the clothes over her shoulders on the ground and walked out of the cage. The welt marks on her back have all disappeared, as if they never existed.
The trial warrior standing by respectfully bowed his head, and handed over the golden robe that had been prepared in his hands—the clothing that symbolized the highest power of the church.
Under the service of the crowd, Jieluo put on the obviously loose clothes, and walked towards the Privy Hall without looking back.
