Chapter 16: The Cunning Devil
"Whatever their schemes are, kill them all and it's over. ”
Lu Chen, who had left the order, disappeared again, and the respectful situation of everyone made him a little boring.
"There is too much difference between strength and status, and I can't be friends at all. ”
And after Lu Chen made the decision to leave, Catherine sighed and lifted her forehead, and found Elaine alone: "Isn't that great existence a little too simple here?" ”
"Uh. ”
Looking at Catherine's pointed head, Elaine didn't find the words to return for a long time.
This performance also made Catherine say no more, and could only warn: "Tell that you better be careful, our opponents are not only the Holy See but also the three empires, they will not watch the existence of the gods, although they will not take the initiative to stand up against the gods, but the reason why the church headquarters reacted so quickly is probably because of their support." ”
After speaking, she even advised Elaine:
"The reason why you and that great being can compete with the church that has been strong for a hundred years is because that existence is a god, but the god himself cannot occupy an absolute advantage, which will bring huge hidden dangers, and it will make mortals suspicious, if it is possible, let us do it, let that person watch, so that even if we fail, there is room for reversal. ”
"I know, I'll tell him all this. ”
......
As Catherine had predicted, the three empires were indeed unwilling to sit idly by, but they were also afraid of the power of the gods.
In this situation, the three empires all chose to support the church, and let the church act as a vanguard to see if the power of that god was really what it was.
And the church had to take the initiative to stand up and resist, after all, although the divine right is opposed to the royal power, there is always room for cooperation, and within the church, there can only be one voice, unless they completely surrender, otherwise, they can only resist.
Heretics are more damned than heretics!
......
The Pope, who was in control of the Flame of Prayer, was an old man, and when he saw that the fire was safe and sound, he returned from the ground down to the hall of the church to see his archbishop.
"Those Imperial soldiers have arrived?"
"Under the Pope's crown, the cunning kings were not willing to send regular soldiers, they sent mercenaries and robbers. ”
"Hehe, that's a group of lords who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, rest assured, we won't fail, false gods are just false gods after all, this is just a test given to us by the true gods. ”
calmly cheered up his subordinates, and the Pope acted as if he didn't care about anything, and this attitude also made the situation below a little quieter.
However, their calm did not last long, and when Elaine ascended into the sky and reported Catherine's warning to Lu Chen, his order was also given on the spot.
The next day, the church headquarters and the church wall riding faction in other countries were surprised to find that in the face of the provocation of the false gods of the church headquarters, the great being who incarnated the sun did not surrender to the other side, but under the leadership of the Holy Maiden Elaine, he continued to evacuate people from the perimeter of the church.
"What does that false god want to do when he arrives, instead of sending a large army to attack while others are talking about the gods, but instead evacuate people, is this trying to cut off the popular base around our church?"
While gathering strength for the outside church personnel to return, the Pope was also thinking about the order given by the false god.
In his doubts, the situation outside came quickly, and soon, he learned from the spies that the range of the evacuation of the crowd by the pseudo-saint named Elaine had reached a diameter of thousands of miles, and the order given by the false god was to evacuate everything within a radius of thousands of miles around the church within three days.
"Thousands of miles away, that god is trying to eat. ”
That's what everyone thinks, and they don't understand why the god did it.
Of course, there are also some people who think of something.
Nogvia III was one of them, and looking at the report in his hand, an absurd thought rose in his heart:
"Could it be that the true God, ready to use divine punishment to wipe out everything within a thousand miles...... How is it possible, I am also busy and confused, how can such a thing happen. ”
He was shaking his head, but his hands, which were constantly trembling and couldn't even hold the teacup, showed his mood.
"Check, strictly investigate what that saint did and you must find out for me!"
Suppressing the fear in his heart, Nogvia III gave such an order.
While giving the order, he also slowed down his support for the Holy See, and even, after taking a look at Elaine's face, he also sent a group of silver-haired maidens to the royal capital of Ritania, all of whom were nuns who served the gods, and among them, there was even one of his daughters.
Betting on multiple sides has always been a tradition among the aristocracy, so that no matter which side wins, they will not completely perish.
There was more than one person who did this with Nogvia III, Lu Chen's order seemed to be mindless, but when he thought about it, there was a great terror.
"A Thousand Miles Range...... If it's true, it's a god!"
Even if it wasn't, a terrifying monster that destroyed a thousand-mile range with one blow would become a god.
In this way, in a short period of time, a group of girls with long silver hair came to Elaine's side, and looking at the beautiful people with the same hair as herself, Elaine people were stunned.
"Only today did I realize that there are a lot of silver-haired people in our world. ”
Unlike the Reiki Continent, which must practice special exercises to mutate hair, the humans in this world are similar to the West, and the hair is already colorful, although silver is quite rare, there are still a lot of them to find.
Even, there are some hair dyes mixed in.
These nuns Elaine couldn't handle it without permission, so she informed Lu Chen, but unfortunately, he was now busy controlling gravity and didn't care about it at all.
"I've done the fusion, and now the trouble is to keep the fusion under control, not to let it explode in chains, but to provide me with light and heat stably. ”
The method of controlling nuclear fusion in the 21st century is inertial confinement or magnetic control, and Lu Chen relies on gravity like the sun, but it strictly controls the fluctuations of gravity, so that it can control nuclear fusion within a circle the size of a small ball, and it also needs to consider the problem of dual-purpose, which makes Lu Chen quite troubled.
"The control of energy depends on the soul and spiritual power, the soul is huge and the control of the energy is naturally fine, is it necessary to improve the soul first, a large number of believers will soon be subdued by me, so many believers can improve the soul, but there is not enough will, hundreds of millions of believers are enough to distort my mind. ”
After thinking about it for a long time, Lu Chen finally improved his willpower.
And what he improved was very simple, constantly relaxing the suppression of other ghosts and gods except for the first ghost god, and then controlling them one by one, in the process of this relaxation-back-control, Lu Chen would be attacked by the will of the ghosts and gods, and after each resistance, it was a huge improvement for Lu Chen's will.
As for the first ghost god, his power was too strong, and Lu Chen was afraid that once he relaxed, he would become a red prince who only knew how to kill, so he still kept the first ghost god from his heart.
The benefits of such a confrontation are obvious, his will is improved in the confrontation, and another benefit is that his control over ghosts and gods is also improved.
It's just that Lu Chen feels a little weird.
"Didn't I find a way to get infinite energy, why did I end up on the will...... Forget it, I don't want to, it's all about improving my strength anyway. ”
This kind of training lasted for a long time, but what made Lu Chen speechless was that a day later, Elaine came to Lu Chen's side and complained to him.
"Your Majesty, your orders have been carried out, but it is too difficult to remove everything within a thousand miles of the church. ”
Elaine's words also let Lu Chen know that he was capricious, with the productivity of this era, even with magic, it would be difficult to move so many people away, but Lu Chen did not stop the idea of exploding.
He knew that if he wanted to make others surrender, he needed a radish and a stick, and the radish Lu Chen had already given it, and it lasted for three days, and the light that shone on millions of people was enough to prove his benevolence.
And now, it is time to give the big stick, he is ready to be a majestic god, not the kind that is called around, he cannot meet everyone's requests, nor will he allow others to ask indiscriminately, which will increase the burden on his will.
With such thoughts, and Lu Chen also wanted to see what kind of threat he could pose after comprehending the meaning of the explosion, he was ready to carry out the explosion.
It's just that he doesn't want to let him blow everyone up in one go.
After frowning and thinking for a long time, Lu Chen had a new idea.
"You go down, I know what to do, but the personnel still have to be evacuated. ”
When Lu Chen came up with a new idea, the pope on the other side was panicking, but after thinking about it all night, he suddenly thought of something and laughed.
"Hahahaha......"
The wild laughter attracted everyone's attention, and caused many worried bishops to look at each other, and at last it was an old bishop who spoke:
"His Majesty, why laugh. ”
"Hahaha, I laughed at our stupidity, we were so scared for so long, and I laughed at the pseudo-god who was just a false god after all, and actually liked to play some tricks, it seems that that the pseudo-god is an evil demon who likes to manipulate people's hearts. ”
"What do you say?"
"Hmph, what would you think when you learned that little girl named Elaine was going to move everyone within a thousand miles of the Holy See?"
Without waiting for others to respond, the Pope had already asked himself: "I think that is the real god, and he is ready to send down divine punishment to completely destroy the land of thousands of miles." ”
That's really what everyone thinks, but no one dares to say it.
At this time, the Pope not only said it, but also laughed and said, "This is the cleverness of the false god." ”
"It was an impossible task to move all the humans within a thousand miles of the church in three days, and the false god didn't even think to complete it when such a task was arranged. ”
Seeing the puzzled faces of the people around him, the Pope's face showed the sneer of the wise man for mortals, and he said smugly: "Do you wonder why you can't complete the arrangement of that god, this is to say that the pseudo-god is cunning, he is afraid of the strength of our Holy See, and he is afraid of leaking his hole cards when fighting with us, but after we call him a false god, he has to take action again." ”
"I didn't have enough strength, and I was afraid that the bottom would leak after the shot, so that pseudo-god made a big show. ”
"I can tell you unambiguously that when the appointed time comes, the false god will be furious and accuse the so-called holy woman, and then put all the blame on her, and say that because he cannot move everyone away in three days, he will mercifully renounce the divine punishment for the sake of God's love for the world, so that he will not lose face at all, let alone reveal the details of his falsehood. ”
The Pope's analysis stunned the bishops in the room, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that the Pope had a point.
"It's really possible. ”
"I said how to evacuate everyone in three days, and it turned out that I had this idea. ”
"Thousands of miles, this almost scared me, if it was only a hundred miles, I might have really been fooled. ”
"That false god didn't dare to say a hundred miles, in case Elaine's hateful witch really evacuated all the residents within a hundred miles, that false god would be dumbfounded. ”
"His Holiness is wise. ”
The preoccupation was removed, and the praise of many bishops made the Pope's old face as old as a chrysanthemum smile.
However, he quickly waved his hand, stopped the Songzan of the people below, and said with a serious expression: "Although I saw through this plan, we can't underestimate the devil disguised as a god, if you can come up with such a plan, the devil named Chen must be an extremely cunning and scheming figure, and when dealing with him in the future, don't underestimate him and think that he is reckless or something." This is most likely a disguise, and we are dealing with the devil who is good at manipulating people's hearts. ”
"We will remember. ”
"Your Majesty, we should rejoice, that false god is definitely not a true god by doing this, and the gods will never use such methods. ”
"Indeed, those who are good at trickery are not strong...... By the way, this matter must be told to the kings, so that they can see the true face of the false god. ”
"I'm going to get in touch. ”
Under the operation of the bishop of the Holy See, all the kings soon heard the Pope's explanation, and after a little reflection of the situation, they found that it was really possible to do what the Pope said.
It's just that there are some people who have doubts.
"Is that really a scam?"
"It's not like it, the 30,000-meter fireball is not false, and we have many nobles who have taken flying monsters and portals to King Retania and have been treated, and they have all been successfully treated. ”
"But the range of 1,000 kilometers is too exaggerated, if it is said that it is tens of kilometers of divine punishment, I agree, but 1,000 kilometers, this is simply impossible. ”
......
Discussions and entanglements rose in everyone's hearts, and no matter what everyone thought, time was passing, and soon, the judgment time given by Lu Chen came.
In the early morning of this day, countless people were paying attention to Lu Chen's actions, using various magic to spy on Lu Chen from a distance.
But there was no need for them to snoop, after the time arrived, Lu Chen used the technique of light mirror, and used his own power to convey the scene to the eyes of most people in the world.
The technique of the light mirror is to use light into a mirror, which can see the whole world, and can also transmit the scene in itself to the distance by relying on light, this is a gold-level auxiliary ability, because he is not interested in this kind of ability, Lu Chen has not learned it before, but after he has achieved the Lord of Light, such an ability, Lu Chen can use it with just a little understanding.
This is just as not all human beings can use swordsmanship, but things like stabbing, stabbing, chopping, and slashing can be used by normal humans, and the light mirror technique is such a light thing for Lu Chen.
At this time, wherever the sun shines, you can see the scene where Lu Chen is.
Now Lu Chen is no longer the royal capital of Ritania, but has come to a sea area.
After relying on the technique of light mirror to convey his own scene, Lu Chen already knew that he was facing the gaze of all beings.
In this regard, he did not panic in the slightest, but said indifferently: "Those who do not worship God will be punished by God." ”
As soon as he said this, the hearts of those rebels tightened, but then, Lu Chen's words made them laugh out loud.
"I have ordered that everything within a thousand miles of the Holy See headquarters be evacuated within three days, and only the rebels will be left here, and then I will send down the Heavenly Fire God to punish and cleanse the filth to warn the people, but because of the large number of people in this place, ......"
Lu Chen was still saying the latter words, but the people from the Holy See faction no longer listened, and endless cheers rang out from the Holy See headquarters.
"I'll just say it's not true. ”
"Liar, that's a big liar. ”
"Your Majesty, we are willing to ask for this false god. ”
"Hmph, the plan is good, but everything you think has been predicted by the wisdom of His Majesty. ”
......
At this time, the headquarters of the Holy See was like a sea of joy, filled with joy.
And the kings of the three empires are also relieved and ready to change their attitude towards false gods.
But just when they were happy, they found that the words of the giant of light on the opposite side were still continuing, and the sun with a diameter of 30,000 meters was also shrinking.
"God loves the world and does not punish the innocent, but God's dignity is not to be insulted......"
As he spoke, the sun grew smaller and smaller, but this did not surprise the king and the rebels, who sensed great terror as they watched the sun grow brighter and brighter, though shrunken.
"No, it won't. ”
"It's all liars, yes, liars. ”
Rebellious humans are clasping their hands together and praying to God that all this is false.
But there is no true god in this world, and if there is, Lu Chen is also the one closest to a god.
"I will give you another seven days, flee within these seven days, get out of here, after seven days, the heavenly fire and magma will cover the Holy See, and this is a warning!"
With the words, the huge fireball had shrunk into a small dot under the effect of gravity, and the extreme shrinkage made the small dot composed of a huge amount of flames turn black.
The black stain on the white sky was very eye-catching, but no one cared about it at this time, and the hearts of all those who looked at the black dots were throbbing, and they sensed that something bad was about to happen.
Among them, the most frightened was the Pope, who thought that he would not be able to move the people around the Holy See in three days, and that the false god would say that God loved the world and could not carry out divine punishment, but he did not think that in the absence of divine punishment, that person was ready to send divine punishment in a place where no one was around.
"How is it possible, do you really have the power of God, everything that is said is not deception, but true!"
"No, I don't believe in such a thing, it's all fake, it's all a lie. ”
He was screaming in fear, but no matter how he spoke, something terrible was happening in the distance.
After a heartbeat, the pitch-black dot suddenly erupted after the trembling, and an endless amount of light slanted out from the black dot.
“......”
