Chapter 2282: The Age of Darkness and Turmoil
It was a massacre without any suspense!
By the time Bertrand opened his mouth, and the Knights Templar began to shine with the light they possessed, Antonio and the other cardinals knew that this was the time to escape!
As they expected, after the holy light diffused, countless lines of blood gushed out along their bodies, and the dazzling blood drew dazzling lines of blood in the church, splashing on those bronze holy clothes.
"The Spirit of my Lord in heaven begins at this moment, and is utterly destroyed, and the former glory and light of my Holy See, at this moment, is completely plunged into darkness, and henceforth it will be a generation of darkness and turmoil, and I will curse you day by day in the kingdom of heaven, so that you may inherit the judgment of God!" In the last moments of his life, Antonio slowly opened his mouth, and his dying curse was issued in anger.
But no matter how much he cursed, he couldn't resist the butcher's knife, and his blood was spilled on the holy clothes of a member of the Templar Order standing not far in front of him in the first place. The red blood flowed down the potholes, and the shabby holy clothes were left behind, and the two colors of dazzling and stale were set against each other, which was extremely dazzling.
As Antonio said, from the moment the blood flowed from his body, both the Holy See and the worldly religion of the Lord they believed in had been completely plunged into a time of darkness and turmoil.
The reason for this is simple, because in the doctrine of the Holy See, within the Ten Commandments, believers are clearly warned not to kill. And now in order to be able to exist in the world, the Holy See has begun to destroy the Ten Commandments again, and even does not hesitate to use it against its own people to maintain the existence of the Holy See, which cannot but be said to be a great irony.
And now, from the moment of his blood splashing, it also means that from now on, the Holy See will begin to fall from light to darkness, and from now on, there will be no need for the Holy See to obey the doctrine, and the so-called doctrine of love and mercy will also become a gorgeous robe that lives under the core of the strong in the Holy See.
And when someone tears off this gorgeous coat, the dirty core will be completely exposed to the world, and everything that is bloody, dirty and ugly will be spurned by the world.
"I have already said that if the Holy See today wants to get rid of the storm, we must be completely subordinate to such strong people as the Pope and the Grand Master. For the honor of the Holy See, and for the glory of our Lord, it is also your honor and pride to be able to sacrifice the blood of your body, and I wish you to ascend to the kingdom of heaven and receive the blessings of our Lord forever! Amen! ”
Looking at Antonio, whose blood was gradually drying up and his body gradually began to become cold and stiff, he gradually showed a cruel and cold smile along the corner of John's mouth, although the words that came out of his mouth, at first glance, sounded like he was praying for the dead Antonio, but the kind of schadenfreude and ill-intentioned optimism could not be concealed.
Even at this moment, John's heart was full of longing, his eyes were as bright as stars in the sky, and he stared at Bertrand tightly, wanting to wait for Bertrand to make a new arrangement for him.
Now under Bertrand's decision, all the cardinals in the Holy See have died, and even cardinals like Antonio have fallen, which means that the clergy of the Holy See will fall into a leaderless situation. At this time, he John was the only cardinal, the only presence in Bertrand who could manipulate the Holy See with his hands.
Maybe after the death of the Pope, I will have the opportunity to sit on the throne of the Pope?! Even at this moment, John's eyes were uncontrollably looking toward St. Peter's throne, as if he had seen the day when he would be crowned God's shepherd on earth after years of this dark upheaval and calamity!
But just when all the fantasies and greed completely occupied John's heart, he suddenly felt an inexplicable coldness, which suddenly rushed into his body, and that cold and piercing feeling made him feel like he was in a down jacket in the middle of winter, and someone threw an ice cube into his stomach.
And after that kind of chill appeared, he felt that the temperature in his body was like a trickle, constantly flowing outward, not only the temperature of the body, but also the vitality and strength, which were also constantly passing!
After bowing his head in a daze, John found powerlessly that at this moment in his heart, there was a rusty bronze sword quilt. It was inserted into it, and the hot blood in his body was now completely wrapped in the sword!
"Why?" Looking up at a loss, John suddenly found that it was no one else who inserted the bronze sword into his body at this time, it was Bertran, who he had given all his hope and sustenance.
He didn't understand why Bertrand would treat himself like this, from the beginning to the present, he had been obedient to Bertran, and if even he was finished, how would Bertrand control the clergy of the Holy See?!
"There's no why, just because you're also a cardinal, and my sword needs blood to irrigate!" Bertrand opened his mouth indifferently, looked at John like a mustard, and continued lightly: "And compared to Cardinal Antonio, killing someone as revered as him brings me more guilt than killing a villain like you!" And I remember that you yourself said that it is an incomparably privileged to be able to dedicate your life to the glory of the Holy See and to the glory of our Lord, and I bestow it upon you! ”
"And I can see the greed and lust of your heart, and everything I do is for the glory of my Lord and the honor of my Holy See! But people like you have no glory and honor in your heart, everything you do is for yourself, if one day, I block your way, you will kill me mercilessly! Rather than wait until that day, why don't I take your life now, and even without you, do you think that with my strength, I can't control the Holy See? ”
John did not respond to Bertran's words, for he could no longer hear Bertran's words, for death had already taken care of his body and brought his life into the infinite darkness at this moment.
And John knew very well that if heaven really existed, then a man like him, even if he had been one of the Lambs of the world who shepherded for the Lord, would not be heaven but hell that awaited him after death!
But compared to John's current situation, the church at this moment, if it were not for the cold corpses lying on the ground and the blood flowing down the white marble floor, would be as bright as heaven!
Since the blood of Antonio and the cardinal has been spilled into the holy garments worn by the members of the Templar Order, the holy garments that were originally pitted and torn like torn copper and iron seem to be gradually beginning to awaken, constantly greedily sucking the blood bathed in the holy garments, grabbing the spirituality in them!
When the blood touched the holy clothes, it was like a mud cow submerged in the sea, and it dissipated in an instant, and then, the potholes on the holy clothes, those defects that had appeared in the past because of the war, began to be repaired quickly at a treacherous speed, but in a short time, the dust was washed away, and began to flow outwards with a cold metallic luster!
Not only that, with the continuous infusion of blood, along those holy clothes, there began to be countless treacherous runes that were constantly changing, and those runes, like a revival totem, continued to spread on the holy clothes, and then in the void, intertwined ten thousand holy lights, exuding bursts of extremely compelling momentum!
Even after the Holy Light reached its most brilliant level, behind the Knights Templar in the field, there was a phantom of angels with wings spread out in the shape of flying heaven!
The portraits of the Holy Spirit, sacred and extraordinary, fluctuate in the holy light, as if the Holy Spirit really fell into the world, the bright light, like a dazzling golden sun boiling in the world, countless holy lights are burning like flames, the momentum is like a high mountain, difficult to climb!
The church is constantly trembling, the earth is constantly trembling, and even the murals on the dome that have been sketched by countless artists with stained glass or oil paint in the past under the Holy See's edict are also constantly peeling off under the impact of this breath, chasing down to the ground little by little, and beginning to show the obsidian inside!
Light and darkness, at this moment, completely occupy the entire church!
Rumble! At the same time, Bertrand strode forward abruptly, walked to the throne of St. Peter in the center of the church, and then slowly turned around, facing the members of the Knights Templar in the audience, his body was full of holy light, his fists were clenched, and suddenly he was supported, and under the loud noise, thousands of holy lights suddenly diffused, and behind him, they converged into the shape of wings!
Countless feather-like lights flying in the world are constantly fluttering around Bertran's body, and even at this moment, many people already feel that Bertrand is now like a revived brute dragon, as long as the minions are going, it is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, whether it is a human or a god, they can't stop him from moving forward!
"God's will, give us glory, Lord, give us glory! This glory is not for us! My Lord, for your name and for the glory of your Pusa and this world! Fight for the glory of our Lord, for the glory of the Holy See! ”
Looking around, Bertrand said indifferently, "Let's put an end to heresy and end this age controlled by darkness and turmoil!" ”
