The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 1895 Transformation

"You just said that you had received Sylvia's oracle," Leo looked at the pope who exuded the aura of a saint, and said with doubts: "Logically speaking, a pious person like you should not violate Sylvia's oracle is correct, but what you have done is contrary to your devout beliefs. Could it be that the oracle that Sylvia gave you denies my identity?" He paused. He shook his head again and said: "No, no, if it was to deny my identity, the moment I came to the Holy City, you would have led the Divine Grace Paladins to attack me, instead of letting me stay in the Big Book In the library, the Holy Goddess of Civilization is allowed to provide me with as many reading books as possible, so the oracle you received is to acknowledge my identity, and you have really violated the oracle."

The Pope listened to Leo's analysis without showing any expression on her face. She neither said that Leo's guess was correct nor denied it. She just remained silent for a while, and then asked a somewhat abrupt question, Said: "Does my Lord want to save this world, or does he want..."

Perhaps because he felt that what he said was too blasphemous, the Pope did not continue to speak. Instead, he held the pendant around his neck tightly and silently recited prayers. He wanted to use this method to stabilize himself, which was a little wavering. faith.

Although the Pope did not finish his question, and the question was very abrupt, but Leo vaguely understood what the other party wanted to ask, but he was a little confused as a man with the piety of a saint. Why would a person of faith question the core of the doctrine of the object of her faith?

"What you want to ask is whether Sylvia wants to redeem the world or destroy it, right?" Leo directly stated the other party's question.

Hearing this question, the Pope's hand held the Holy Emblem Pendant tighter, so tight that it seemed to pierce her palm. Blood seeped out from between her fingers, flowed along the lines of her palm to her wrist, and then dripped fell to the ground.

As before, the Pope neither admitted nor denied, but silently recited the prayers, but now her reciting voice was much louder than before, and she could vaguely feel her emotions fluctuating greatly.

"Why do you doubt the intentions of the person you believe in?" Leo continued to ask without waiting for the Pope's response. However, after asking, he immediately guessed: "The reason for your current mentality is definitely not from the faith itself. It’s not that you were bewitched by some evil force from outside the world. The only reason that arouses your suspicion is..." As he spoke, Leo seemed to realize something. He looked at the Pope and said, "You found that inside the sanctuary, The secret?”

After hearing this, the Pope looked up at Leo and said excitedly: "It's true, that's true!"

Although the Sanctuary is the only place in the entire Holy City of Redemption, and even in the entire world, where camouflage is stripped away, Sylvia had secretly buried some rune magic circles when she built the Sanctuary, and used her power to form another A kind of disguise that prevents people who enter here from feeling the images produced by the real laws, such as increased gravity, etc.

However, now it seems that the pope in front of him may have bypassed the disguise of the sanctuary and seen the real side of the world due to some coincidence. However, compared to coincidence, Leo is more willing to believe that it is Xi. Sylvia deliberately let her see it.

However, everything she felt gave her an unprecedented impact, making her doubt Sylvia's purpose, and thus shaken her faith. But even if her faith was shaken, she still She has the devout faith of a saint, which shows how devout her faith is even when her faith does not waver.

The Pope asked Leo with some excitement: "Why? Why do you want me to destroy the laws of the world? I have seen the scene after the destruction of the laws of the world in the sanctuary. It is a scene of destruction. If the laws of the world are destroyed, The world will definitely fall into endless disasters. This is not salvation at all, but destruction!”

Leo nodded, agreed with the Pope's words, and said: "On the surface, it is indeed true. Once the existing laws of the world are destroyed, the entire world will undergo earth-shaking changes. These changes are not only reflected in the climate. More will be reflected at the level of laws. For example, gravity will increase much more than before, oil cannot ignite fire, water will boil in normal times, etc. In this environment, many people will die, and only some can survive. Come down."

The Pope asked urgently: "Since it will cause the destruction of the world, why did our Lord give me such an oracle?"

Leo said in a deep voice: "Because she just wants to let the world return to its true appearance and peel off the false laws. You must know that the false laws are like the ropes that tightly trap the world. If it does not change, This world will eventually fall into the abyss, and maybe it has already fallen into the abyss.”

"What do you mean?" The Pope was a little confused.

Leo did not skimp on everything he knew and told the Pope the truth about the world. Although what he told was mainly that the laws of the current world were false, the scene she found in the sanctuary was real. world, but in the process of telling it, he also borrowed the knowledge of the Doomsday School more than once.

"Is this the taboo thought of the Doomsday Bloodline?" The Pope had naturally studied the taboo knowledge of this school, so she quickly noticed it and asked Leo.

Leo nodded, acknowledging the Pope's conjecture, and said: "To be honest, I didn't expect that ordinary people in this world could actually perceive the truth of the world. Although many of those knowledge are wrong, the core content is true. This world is indeed used as a sacrifice."

The Pope quickly made an association and said in a verification manner: "So Rocoman accurately predicted the doomsday time. Our world was supposed to be destroyed that year. It was our Lord who pulled us back from destruction."

"Yes." Leo nodded.

Seeing this, the Pope raised his hand and touched the blood-stained holy emblem pendant to his forehead, and then put it in front of his mouth and kissed it. At this moment, her devout faith seemed to have undergone a qualitative change, and this qualitative change also caused some changes in the natural destructive power in her body, the effects of which Leo was not clear for the time being. In short, the Pope in front of him seemed to have a more sacred taste.

After the Pope calmed down, he asked, "Since the Lord has saved the world, why does the Lord want to destroy it now?"

"Because the world has not been truly saved, it has only postponed the arrival of the doomsday." Leo explained, "You have read Rocoman's creation theory, and you should know that this world was originally just a fragment of the world. It was the nine demons who made a bet to make this world fully formed. Therefore, except for the laws that the world had when it was originally in the fragment form, all other laws of this world are related to these nine demons. These laws are also the source of power for these nine demons to drag the world into the abyss and use them as sacrifices. Sylvia should have isolated the nine demons from sensing these laws, so she was able to temporarily save the world. But if these laws are not eliminated and the world returns to its original fragment form, then this world will inevitably be controlled by the nine demons again because of these laws. By then, even Sylvia may find it difficult to save the world again."

Although the Pope had already guessed what Leo was going to say when Leo started to explain, he was still shocked after hearing it.

However, she didn't know that Leo's explanation, except for part of the world's laws, was all fabricated based on Rocoman's creation theory, because he didn't know whether the true face of this world was a fragment of the world, and he didn't know whether the mysterious existence that covered this world with a layer of disguised laws was the nine demons mentioned in the creation theory. He also didn't know whether what Sylvia asked him to do was really to save the world, or for other purposes. In short, his explanation couldn't stand up to much scrutiny.

However, this explanation that couldn't stand up to scrutiny was exactly what the Pope thought. She didn't doubt the small loopholes in Leo's explanation at all, but thought that it was reasonable to have loopholes. After all, the affairs of the gods were not something that mortals could speculate. For her, it was enough to know that the Lord of Redemption she believed in really wanted to save the world.

"Do I need to do anything?" the Pope asked in a deep voice.

"Can you execute the oracle you received?" Leo asked back.

The Pope was silent for a moment and shook his head.

She knew very well that even if the oracle she had received was given by the Lord of Redemption, once she really followed the instructions in the oracle, it would inevitably bring great damage to the Sanctuary City and other cities controlled by the Order of Redemption, and people living in the city would also suffer a large number of casualties. At that time, even if she claimed that the oracle was issued by the Lord of Redemption, I am afraid that people in the order would not believe it, because no believer of the Order of Redemption would believe that the Lord of Redemption they believed in would do something that could destroy the stability of the world. Therefore, the only result waiting for her was to be arrested by the Inquisition, the Pope's authority would be revoked, and then she would be put on the stake and burned to death one day.

Leo said in a deep voice: "You don't need to execute the contents of the oracle. I will find someone to execute it. They should be more suitable for this kind of thing than you."

The Pope was stunned for a moment, and soon thought of something, and said in a deep voice: "It's the people of the Doomsday School, right?"

Leo nodded and said: "Since the people of the Doomsday School have always believed that the end of the world will inevitably come, and the real salvation of the world will come at the moment of the end of the world, then now there is a way to make the end of the world appear in the way they imagined, and they will definitely spare no effort to implement those methods."

The Pope nodded when she heard it, but there was no happy expression on her face. Instead, she frowned. Obviously, she didn't like this kind of situation that was out of control.

Leo suggested again: "You don't have to be idle. You can prepare for the so-called doomsday that is coming. This may reduce unnecessary casualties and better preserve the world's civilization."

After hearing this, the Pope thought quickly and realized that this was an excellent opportunity for the Redemption Order, an opportunity to make the Redemption Order the only true religion in the world.

Although the Redemption Order is now the only one in this world, as people gradually adapt to the cold weather and find various ways to solve the food problem, and the abyss vines in the Lost City occupy the city, they do not actively attack the outside of the city, and people's lives have begun to settle down. Their faith in the Lord of Redemption is not as firm as it was at the beginning. The appearance of so many cultists, blasphemers and heretics in the Holy City is enough to show that the situation is already very serious. If the Holy City of Redemption is still like this, the faith problems in other shelter cities will only be more serious.

Now that the end of the world has reappeared and more terrible disasters are sweeping the world, then the people of this world will once again cast their most devout faith in the Lord of Redemption, which is undoubtedly a good thing for the Redemption Order, and for the Pope, she can also take this opportunity to complete the religious reform she envisioned, so that the defects and loopholes left by the Redemption Order when it was first established can be completely remedied.

The Pope made a brief plan in his mind about how he was going to act, and then asked Leo, "Do you need me to cooperate with the people of the Doomsday School?"

"No." Leo shook his head and said, "Just keep the same way as the Redemption Order treated the Doomsday School before. Those who should be arrested should be arrested, and those who should be tried should be tried."

"I know what to do." The Pope nodded, then looked at Leo with a slightly complicated look, and said, "I owe you an apology. Since you came to the Holy City, I..."

"No need! I don't take it to heart." Leo interrupted the other party and said.

The Pope was silent for a while, and then asked, "Where are you going to leave the Holy City? Do you need my help?"

"No, I'm used to being alone." Leo rejected the Pope's kindness, and then turned and walked out of the sanctuary.

The pope watched Leo walk to the door of the sanctuary. Just as he was about to open the door and leave, she suddenly asked curiously, "I'm curious about your relationship with my Lord. From what you just said, you seem to have a close relationship with my Lord. Could it be that you are my Lord's favored one, or my Lord's servant?"

Leo stopped, looked at the pope behind him, then raised his hand, showing the white deer ring in his hand, and said, "The Lord of Redemption you believe in and I are husband and wife."

After that, he pushed the door open, walked out of the sanctuary, and then, under the gaze of the Holy Knights of God's Grace, he used his psychic wings to fly into the air and flew towards the Great Library.

Behind him, the pope of the Order of Redemption was stunned. It took a long time for her to recover, but the shock in her heart had not diminished. She still had a stunned expression on her face, but soon she seemed to think of something, turned around, and looked at the hand of the statue of the Holy Trinity Lord of Redemption behind her. A finger with a ring appeared in her sight.
