"Oh oh oh! Salute to the Spear of Saint Angelus!”
When the Roman people saw the Spear of Saint Angelus showing off its might, they erupted into a burst of enthusiastic cheers.
As long as they had the blood-red holy spear in the sky, they had nothing to fear.
With the blessing of churches of all sizes, the hymn melody easily dispersed the mysterious sacrificial melody.
After this battle, not only did the Church's faith not waver, it became even more pious.
However, the silver holy prose seemed to be enraged. Suddenly, it began to wriggle violently on the surface of the palm. In a short while, it completely devoured the palm that had shrunk to a few meters long.
At this moment, the silver holy prose seemed to have been fed with blood. Suddenly, silver light burst forth, and the mysterious and complicated lines that formed the holy prose also shot out.
In just a few seconds, the endless rays of light interweaved in the air to form an extremely complicated magic array.
Ricelius and Saintwill were dumbfounded. They had thought of many possibilities, but they had never thought that these holy prose would actually be the foundation of a summoning array.
"Sir Saintwill, can we destroy it now?”
Richardson held Durandre's hand and asked uncertainly.
"Impossible. Our level of power is too low for a formation constructed from divine runes. There might still be a chance for a Semi-Divinity to attack.”
"Get the Church ready. Who knows what will come out of this array.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the array that covered almost half of the sky of Rome was finally activated.
The sky seemed to have turned into a huge silver mirror, and ripples like water flickered on it.
In the endless silver light, there was suddenly a hint of blood. Then, something came out of the space.
It was a dark red, slightly transparent stone, and its surface was covered with uneven pits and bumps.
As long as it was not a living thing.
As the range of the thing that came out became larger and larger, Ricilius and Saint-Will finally saw what it was.
It was actually a blood-red meteorite that emitted a dense astral aura.
"Damn it! They actually summoned a star from the astral plane.”
For the first time, Richardson's expression changed. He was no longer as calm and steady as before.
Durandre in his hand emitted a sharp and scorching light. After a few seconds of accumulation, a transparent sword aura broke through the nomological barrier on the surface of the star, leaving a sword mark less than half a meter deep.
"Sigh! We've all underestimated Swinburne. He knew that using mysterious methods would not be able to do anything to the Church, which had been passed down for countless years. This was because the Church had long made Rome into a fortress that was as solid as soup to the Transcendents. Therefore, he switched to using physical means to destroy the city of Rome.”
" As long as Rome is destroyed, the foundation of the Church will be gone. Even the Holy Church of Messiah will fall apart because of this, and it will no longer be as glorious as before.”
"There's still some time before this star falls. Send a message to His Holiness the Pope and the leader of the Knights Templar to come back. This time, we're really going all out.”
After saying that, Saintwill and Ricilius returned from midair and landed in the Pope's Palace.
Ye Yan controlled the Spear of Saint Angelus and followed.
At this moment, the Cardinal Pope's Palace was gathered. The Abbot of the Monastery, Sister Mathilda, and a group of high-ranking nuns, as well as the Ascetic Monks, were all present.
Other than some Legendary powerhouses who were guarding various parts of Rome and could not leave, all the powerhouses above the Legendary level in the Holy See headquarters were included.
Three minutes later, an old man holding a Pope's Scepter, wearing a gold and gemstone hat, a white ceremonial robe, and a red pointed robe walked out of the teleportation circle with a knight wearing a full set of silver armor and a silver mask.
They were Pope Gregory IX and Reinhardt Heinrich, the leader of the Knights Templar.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. We are ashamed of Your Majesty's request.”
As soon as the Pope sat down, the many Arch-Cardinals stood up in unison, crying tearfully.
"Messiah! The Lord was forgiving and merciful. Under the Lord's gaze, justice would prevail over evil.”
Pope Gregory IX was already used to this and gestured for them to sit down.
His tone was neither hurried nor slow, but it carried a power that could calm people's hearts.
"Everyone, I already know what happened. If you really want to pursue responsibility after the incident, I should be the one to bear the greatest responsibility. During my term of office, Swinburne actually hid in Rome for more than a hundred years.”
"But now is not the time to pursue responsibility. The believers of Rome are still facing the threat of the stars in the sky and need our protection.”
"First, I have decided to issue a decree from the Pope: After I passed away, Adam, who wielded the Spear of Saint Angelus, became the next Pope of the Holy Church of Messiah.”
"In view of the fact that the current owner of the Spear of Saint Angelus is still young, Archbishop Ricelius, Lord St. Will, and Sister Mathilda have formed the highest council of the Pope's Palace to temporarily take over all matters of the Pope.”
Hearing this order, Ye Yan was dumbfounded. How could he be the next Pope?
"Your Majesty, no!"
The many Arch-Cardinals cried again, their voices filled with reluctance.
"I know my own body. Even without this attack, I can only hold on for another few decades at most.”
Hearing this, everyone fell silent. Their king lived up to the name of Gregory IX and truly did his best for the Holy Church of Messiah until his death.
"Your Majesty, our Church still has demigods guarding all over the world. Even if we send a message and ask them to rush back together, can't we destroy this planet?”
" This won't do. This star has been stained with the blood of a true god. There's a layer of law barrier on its surface that's at least at the pseudo-god level. No matter how many demigods come, it's useless. It can only be me.”
"Child, I know that you must be very surprised when you suddenly found out about this result. Your first reaction is to reject it. However, since we live in this world, there are many times when we have no choice.”
" Just like me. When I was young, I was a playboy in Rome. I often bullied the ordinary people with other noble children for fun. However, for the sake of my family and my parents 'expectations, I finally joined the Holy Church of Messiah. I started from the lowest level of missionary and eventually became the 366th pope of the Holy Church of Messiah, Gregory the Ninth.”
"So, are you interested in seeing this old man for the last time? I know that you can do many things with the Spear of Saint Angelus. Don't worry, I won't let you stay in the Pope's Palace forever. After meeting me, you can continue to stay in China and grow, but I hope that after you become a Legend, you will take over the 377th Pope of the Holy Church of Messiah.”
Gregory IX said to the Spear of Saint Angelus with a pleasant expression.
