Chapter 308 Civil Strife
Shortly after the six major forces decided on the plan to colonize the moon, an unprecedented split occurred within the Holy Light Church. Saint Christine, with a large group of people behind her, broke into the Pope's Palace and forced Pope Gondor to abdicate.
"Old Gondor, your faith is too extreme. You are not suitable for running a church at all. It is better to hand it over to us and let us spread the glory of the Lord."
"Don't use that hypocritical thing. You just want to steal faith and take the so-called path of deification. Those who claim to be gods in this world are just mortals. The existence of the Lord does not need to be proved to us. All personal gods are just false gods." Gondor did not care about the others who broke into the Pope's Palace, but debated with Christine.
"It is because of your thoughts that our development has stagnated. Otherwise, with nearly 800 million believers, how could we have an outsider to defeat this group of pagans!" Christine still wanted to persuade Gondor to surrender with the general trend, so she continued to argue with him.
"You have lost yourself in power just like Ramdor. Believers are not our property, we are just servants of the Lord."
"I'll tell you this for the last time. Times have changed. Let go, Gondor. You should be a saint, not a pope! You are too pious, but to run an organization well, you need not be pious, but realistic, and keep up with the times!" Christine gave the other party an ultimatum.
"The church is just a place to spread the Lord's gospel. It should not become a claw for ambitious people to seize power and interests!" As a devout believer, Gondor never compromises on this point.
After losing the biggest external enemy, the Yilun Church, the contradictions within the Holy Church of Light and the contradictions between the European Union and the Holy Church of Light began to erupt comprehensively.
The European Union, which intended to take the initiative, directly contacted Christine, who had long been rebellious, and provided her with a lot of support, so that today's plan to force the palace could be realized. Because whether it wins or loses, the Holy Church of Light will have a fierce internal consumption. A weak church that is unable to interfere in politics is the church they hope for.
The European Union also knew that it was impossible to eradicate the Holy Light Church, because this was also the belief of a large part of their people. As long as they dared to openly raise the banner of hostility to the Holy Light Church, the first to have a civil war would be the Union itself.
"Christine, you were just influenced by the demons from hell. It's not too late to turn back now." Gondor pointed directly at the biggest secret of the other party.
In ten years, he naturally noticed some clues and had corresponding precautions. Gondor is a devout believer, but not an idiot. If he really didn't understand anything, he wouldn't have been sitting in the position of Pope for so many years.
After hearing Gondor's words, Christine knew that it would not be a good day today. No matter who was discovered, such a secret would think of silencing her. She pretended to be calm, but she had already begun to silently recite the spell in her heart, and at the same time ordered her men to act through mental fluctuations.
Just half a second later, several giant flying birds outlined by runes suddenly appeared from behind her and rushed towards Gondor at a lightning speed, trying to kill him in a sneak attack. Behind the Rune Bird, there followed a large number of colorful spell missiles of various attributes launched by her subordinates.
And several strong young men began to show dazzling light on their bodies, bursting out something similar to fighting spirit, preparing for the upcoming battle.
The paladins who specialize in close combat can rely on this light to burst out extremely terrifying power, easily cut tanks with long swords infused with fighting spirit, and even jump to a height of hundreds of meters to split low-flying helicopters in two.
No one knows why the same human beings will take completely different routes in the same spiritual environment.
Bai Mo also tried to study this problem, but he did not get any other substantial results except that he could practice the opponent's arcane fighting spirit system before the body structure conflicted, and they could also practice the Lingshu martial arts system here.
"This is the Pope's Palace!" Gondor made a downward movement with his right hand, and then an extremely stable energy barrier appeared in front of him. Whether it was the Rune Bird or various spell missiles, they all failed in front of this barrier.
Under Christine's control, the rune bird, which was almost endowed with life, tried to tear open the barrier with its sharp claws. Unfortunately, after just scratching a few small holes, the claws were melted by the violent white energy, and then the holes healed again.
The energy shield, which relied on the energy supply of the entire Pope's Palace, successfully slowed down the pace of the rebels.
After the barrier appeared, Gondor quickly walked to the back of the Pope's Palace and began to dispatch the Pope's Guards loyal to him to wipe out this group of seemingly powerful rebels.
In order to break through this barrier, Christine continuously let his men bombard with spells for a whole minute, but still failed to really break this extremely strong barrier for more than two seconds, which made them who were planning to seize power in one go begin to have a little doubt.
At this time, a young man with black-framed glasses, who was inconspicuous in the crowd, took out ten black balls with runes painted on the surface from his backpack and threw them one by one at the barrier.
Everyone else thought that this young man looked quite unfamiliar, but they were from the same team and the leading saint didn't say anything, so they didn't take any action to question him.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The moment each ball contacted the energy barrier, there was a slight explosion and several muffled sounds were heard. But no one dared to underestimate its power, because after these black things exploded, some strange corrosive substances adhered to the barrier, constantly devouring the surrounding structures, and quickly weakening the barrier's power.
This kind of rune weapon that can swallow energy shields and is called a corrosive bomb is exactly what Christine obtained from the European Union and is a targeted weapon specially used to deal with the defense system of the Papal Palace.
In the two minutes after the explosion, it can seize all the surrounding energy at an extremely high speed, thereby temporarily breaking a hole in the charged shield. It is said to have been invented by White, one of the three major rune masters.
Each of the ten bombs opened a large hole with a diameter of half a meter in the giant barrier. When connected, a hole appeared that could allow two or three people to pass through at the same time.
"Hurry up and rush!" Only a few confidants under Christine who were responsible for contacting the European Union knew about the existence of this secret weapon, so they were not shocked by the effect of the destructive bomb, but urged others Hurry through the large hole in the shield that was temporarily corroded, and continue chasing Gondor.
