Chapter 708: Seizure of power

Since there were gods and spirits who were angry about guarding the temple, it stands to reason that they didn't have to bother setting up guards next to them. But they still do it, in fact, there is a threefold meaning in it. First, I was afraid that those ignorant and foolish people would rush in regardless of persuasion and inadvertently collide with the gods, so that the gods would blame themselves for their poor protection. The second is to preserve the dignity of the church and create a feared and sacred atmosphere. As for the third point, it is a bit difficult to say. The sanctuary is a sacred place where the Pope communicates with the spirits, and he often retreats in it to communicate with the spirits. If you are disturbed by ordinary people during the meditation, then the wrath of the gods will descend, and even the great Pope will be burned to death.

This is not their unwarranted speculation, but it has happened, and more than once. Although it is not known why the gods would kill the Pope, who is his spokesman, the popes of all generations have taken this as a warning, not only by placing heavy troops during meditation and not allowing people to approach, but also by setting up obstacles in ordinary times, so that even the most devout saints cannot approach the church. Over time, the church gradually changed from a holy place for many worshippers to a place where they could only observe from a distance and not get close to touch. Except for the high-ranking members of the Divine Cult, the rest of the people didn't even know what the layout was in the sanctuary.

In fact, even those elders could only observe the structure of the temple once in a while, and then listen to the gods issue oracles through the body of the Pope. This is also why she, a young woman, was able to make a group of powerful and cunning old men bow down, and she was really able to communicate with the gods, so that no matter how unwilling they were, they would not dare to make a mistake in person. The only thing they can do is to limit the Pope's growing ambitions as much as possible. Limit her to a range that is acceptable to everyone, so that everyone can live more comfortably. It's a pity that the Pope, with the favor of the gods, is preparing to seize power step by step. If it weren't for the support of the gods behind them, they would have already taken action to get rid of this unknown "Pope".

It's a pity that the power of the gods is not something that mortals like them can resist, and before the gods are dissatisfied with this new pope, they can only swallow their anger and make themselves appear more pious, so as not to become the object of her anger for no reason. These old guys are kind of ingrained, and they are all famous figures in the whole small world. Not to mention the means to the sky, at least it is a powerful person who stomps his feet and most of the world will be shaken. No matter how the new pope gets the favor of the gods, there is no way to replace them in one step, he can only try to grab their pigtails and wait for an opportunity to get them down. But when it comes to fighting methods, how can she, a woman in her teens, be their opponent. So under several battles, she was at a disadvantage. If it weren't for their scruples about the face of the gods, she would have been beaten by them a long time ago.

But she was not willing to fail like this, and finally became the new pope favored by the gods, and she naturally did not want to repeat the mistakes of her predecessor. She wants to use the favor of the gods to cut off all these tumors that occupy the high positions of the Divine Cult in one fell swoop. It's a pity that her qualifications are still shallow, although she is favored by the gods, she can't fight those old foxes. She pleaded with the gods to abdicate them, but received no answer. Although she was favored by the gods, she did not dare to offend easily. Although the new pope is young, he is not a stupid person, and naturally knows where his power comes from, and he will never dare to offend the gods. Since the god did not reply, she did not dare to continue to ask, so she could only endure this breath for the time being.

But now someone has broken into the Templar, and in a big way. In addition to being able to force them back, those so-called Great Elders could only be helpless, and they had already highlighted their strength. If you can use the divine power of the gods to get rid of these two people, you will be able to rule the Divine Cult with the merit of destroying the great enemy. At that time, those Great Elders will no longer be their opponents, and they will be kicked out one by one. At that time, the entire Divine Cult will be his own property, and he will rule over the billions of living beings in this world as the spokesperson of the gods.

Every time she thought of this, she couldn't help but tremble, and an indescribable pleasure suddenly swept through her body, making her a little fluttering and unforgiving. However, the appearance of the gods is never a fixed formula, and although she is the spokesperson of the gods, she cannot actively summon the appearance of the gods. But the only thing she was sure of was that the gods would descend on the Sanctuary in three days. It was not that the gods had given her instructions, but that three days later was the appointed time for the gods to descend, when she had to bathe and change her clothes and be in the sanctuary to receive instructions from the gods. When the time comes, if you can't get in, the gods will be angry, and those two people will die.

At that time, he could claim that he had killed the two great enemies with the help of the power of the gods, and then use that prestige to overwhelm the great elders and become the unique voice of the Divine Cult. So although she was excited, she didn't act rashly. She still has to keep her useful body, wait for the gods to destroy the enemy, and then come forward to unify the cult herself. Although she was young, she could see it very clearly. The gods don't care who rules the cult, as long as mortals still believe in the gods and are willing to sacrifice everything for the gods, then the gods will not interfere in the affairs of the mortal world. As for who is the boss of the Cult, the supreme god will not care. This is also the reason why she asked the gods to condemn the Great Elder, but there was no response, because the gods would not interfere in mortal battles at all.

Just when the people outside were each pregnant with ghosts and planning against each other to seize power, the ban breaking in the temple was also at the most critical time. After three days and three nights of non-stop bombardment, the unusually strong prohibition was also loosened in an imperceptible way. Although it was only the slightest gap, it made the two who were already a little numb excited. They didn't expect this forbidden method to be so difficult before, so they actually gave up the power of counterattack, purely defending against all attacks, and the defensive strength was comparable to a pure protective magic weapon.

If the ban is counterattacked, they can also break it in a targeted manner. As a result, the prohibition neither fought back, nor did it move, just like a turtle with a shrunken head, hiding in the shell of the turtle and not moving, making it a little difficult for them to start. Counterattack means that there are flaws, and if you don't fight back, although one day it will be broken by someone with water grinding skills, it can also delay a lot of time.
