Chapter 456: The Holy Light Shines Darkness Descends
Located in the extremely cold mountains of the north, the sacred mountain of Alessandro is a famous mountain on the mainland known for its majestic and steep mountains. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But that was more than a thousand years ago, and the real Alessandro Sacred Mountain has long since ceased to exist. The largest religious organization on the Dota continent, the Holy See of the Doctrine of Light, spent thousands of years, spent countless manpower, material and financial resources, and hollowed out the entire mountain at the cost of countless believers willing to give all their possessions, and even voluntarily served their entire lives of labor, to build the Cathedral of the Holy Mountain of Alessandro, which is the most majestic and solemn building on the entire continent with a height of thousands of meters and countless majestic halls, which even the countries of several human empires cannot match.
After all, the state must be taxed according to the law, and it is impossible to justifiably deprive taxpayers of all their property, but faith is not, even if a devout believer offers everything he has to the Holy See, he has no regrets, property, labor, and even the life of the whole family, so from some points of view, the Holy See is no longer a simple religion, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a super empire.
Because of this, even the great empires that listed the Doctrine of Light as the state religion could not tolerate the powerful existence of the Holy See, and after jointly expelling the Mages' Guild, they began to suppress the development of the Holy See everywhere.
Originally, this was by no means an easy matter, the Holy See of the Reason of Light was a behemoth that had existed since the time of the Ancient Divine Wars, and the empire was only born for one or two thousand years, if it were not for a top monster like Letusus, the empire would have almost no confidence to threaten the Holy See.
Although the empire has been declining in the past hundred years due to the corruption and incompetence of the upper nobles, the Holy See of the Holy Light is also going downhill bit by bit, and the biggest misfortune of the Holy See is that there has never been an absolute strong man who can confront the dragoon Rethus, especially the current Pope, who is called the most incompetent in history by countless people, so that the Holy See is always at a disadvantage in the open and secret struggle with the Empire.
At this moment, the great pope, derided as the worst waste of all time, San Andrés, was standing on the highest observation deck of the church, overlooking the picturesque scenery of the mountains and rivers below.
His facial features were flawless, his blond hair and blue eyes, and his slender body seemed to be depicted in the Holy War Atlas, which was also a strong evidence that some people ridiculed him for his appearance to ascend to the throne of the Great Pope.
From the appearance of the Grand Pope San Andrés, it is not at all discernible that his age is not at all, and even his gender is not discerned.
said that he was a man, then San Andrés's appearance was too gorgeous, and some people even compared him with Baron Amanda, the first beauty of the empire. But if she is a woman, then the figure of the Grand Pope of San Andrés is too masculine, how can there be a woman as tall and slender as him. But if you look at it only by temperament, this Pope feels closer to a teenager, his eyes, his smile, are full of the most immaculate innocence.
"Your Majesty, the new Knight of the Apocalypse Container is ready. ”
From behind the archpope came an old voice, from which one could feel a clear and sincere humility, fear, and reverence, who could have imagined that this was the cardinal of St. Julius, who was called the true ruler of the Holy See, the Pope of Shadows.
San Andres turned around, and the white-haired cardinal archbishop immediately bowed back a few steps, and behind him, there were nearly a hundred young men and women standing neatly, each of them had outstanding appearances, and what was even more rare was that each of them had not weak strength, and the worst had also dissolved the third-order seal, and the two strongest of them were suddenly two fifth-order war king holy knights. It's just that these young people have dull eyes, as if they have been under some kind of mental control, and they have completely lost their sense of autonomy.
"These children are all young elites drawn from the Holy Sword, Holy Shield, Holy Fire, and the Four Knights of the Holy Cross and the Inquisition, which can be said to be the essence of my Holy Light Principle for the next twenty or thirty years, if you lose their ......"
Before the cardinal could finish speaking, the pope's gaze looked over, and in that peaceful and gentle gaze, the cardinal archbishop was like snow exposed to the July sun, and his momentum and courage melted instantly, and he fell to his knees with a thud, his face pressed against the floor, and his whole body trembled.
The Pope smiled slightly, no longer paying attention to the cardinal archbishop, but walked straight to the group of young people, his gaze swept over, and then stretched out his white and flawless palm, his palm upward, red, green, blue, and black four colors of light appeared out of thin air, spinning on its own above his palm.
Each of these four clusters of light is the size of a baby's fist, but if you look closely, you can see endless scourges, killings, pestilences, famines, deaths, and despair in the clusters.
The Pope raised his hand, and the four clusters of soul fire suddenly flew towards everyone, and each chose a target that did not enter the center of his eyebrows.
The people who fused the soul fire suddenly regained their senses, but all they could do was hold their headaches and scream, and then the next moment their entire bodies were blown apart, and the slightly larger soul fire would come out and go straight to the next target.
In this way, clumps of blood were splashed everywhere, flesh and bones were flying, the magnificent and sacred and solemn hall was like a hellish abyss, the cardinal archbishop was lying on the ground shivering, the smell of blood was pungent, and his heart was also dripping blood, although these young people were not much needed now, but they were the most talented people of this generation, without them, there would inevitably be a gap in the strength of the Holy See in the next twenty years. But he did not dare to resist the decision made by the Great Pope, and did not even dare to use his private power to remove his own granddaughter from this death list, and faithfully carry out His Majesty's order to "gather all the most illustrious young men in the Church."
His Holiness the Pope, on the other hand, was smiling and squinting, as if indifferent to what was happening in front of him.
A moment later, only two men and two women were left standing on the spot, each holding their heads, their facial features distorted, and the expressions on their faces were extremely painful.
The cardinal archbishop looked puzzled, looked back secretly, and suddenly found that his favorite granddaughter was suddenly one of the four, his heart was mixed, but immediately he looked confused, hesitated and struggled for a while, he finally mustered up the courage and asked softly: "Your Majesty the Pope, may I ask, may I ask why this 'infusion' ceremony is a little ...... Something different from what it used to be?"
The Pope smiled slightly, and with a wave of his palm, he saw a little bit of golden-white light instantly filling the hall, and the blood and flesh that were splashed everywhere instantly evaporated, and the entire hall was holy and pure.
"I have just recently received an oracle......," His Majesty finally spoke, his voice clear and pure, like light, the purest and holiest light in the world.
"The end of chaos is coming, the 'twilight day' recorded in the apocalypse is not far away, and only we, protected by the divine light, can exist forever and wipe out the filthy demons who want to cause chaos in the troubled times. For this, we need more and stronger strength, so this time I have made some changes to the infusion ceremony, injecting all the power of the apocalypse that the church has accumulated into their bodies. ”
"But, but in that case, they, their bodies...... Their ego ......"
The Pope smiled faintly and did not speak again, and the bodies of the four newborn Knights of the Apocalypse began to change violently, and the body of the girl symbolizing the red of war grew and expanded rapidly, and after a while, it turned into a red-skinned giant with a height of nearly three meters and knotted muscles.
The delicate boy who symbolized the plague turned into a dark green meat ball monster, covered with pus that was constantly bursting, and the death knight turned into a smoky skeleton, only the appearance of the tall beauty who incarnated as a gluttonous knight could hardly see any change, but when she looked forward to smiling, hundreds of hideous mouths burst out of her smooth and delicate skin, and her mouth, tongue and teeth were complete, and she looked the most terrifying and terrifying.
The four men had completely lost their human form, and the endless power of calamity and destruction had escaped from their bodies, as if the end of the world had come ahead of time. This is obviously the most sacred and solemn place on the entire continent, but it has given birth to the most evil and dark demons.
Looking at the Gluttonous Knight, the Cardinal Archbishop's eyes were sad, but he could only sigh and shake his head.
On the contrary, His Majesty the Pope was very satisfied with the four nascent Knights of the Apocalypse, he smiled faintly, raised his hand and once again cast a ray of light, condensing into a mirror in mid-air, and could see a beautiful girl in a desert robe appear in it.
"Now that the new Knight of the Apocalypse has been born, go and prove your worth and carry out your first mission...... Go to the desert and give me the ...... that destroyed the last generation of Apocalypse Knights The little ogre got me back...... By the way, I would like to thank him for giving us the important Child of Light. ”

Goron, who was strolling through the black sand storm, suddenly had his heart beating wildly, as if he was being targeted by some extremely dangerous being. This kind of feeling has also appeared in the imperial capital of Montenegro, but the malice contained in it is far less than this time. Goron could feel that it was an extremely powerful being watching him.
"Are they the strugglings? Or the bastard mages in the Crystal Lake who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic? Isn't it the brave of the North? Forget it...... I have too many enemies, so let's do what is in front of me first. ”
