Chapter 388: Betrayal and Greed
Arthur was not without experiencing betrayal.
The betrayal of the wife, the betrayal of the son, the betrayal of the subordinates...... It can be said that Arthur has seen all the anti-bone boys that can be met in this world. But even so, Arthur never changed his faith.
The love for Britain is the love of the homeland that is engraved in the bones, and the lifelong protection.
The love of God is the purest spirit, although the faith is persistent. Whether Yahweh exists or not, God will always be Arthur's only signpost!
The Knights of the Round Table who exist in the world have experienced countless ups and downs, thousands of years of grievances, except for Arthur, in addition to faith, they are simply simpler and cleaner than the monks who have seen through the red dust!
Before, it was Arthur who said...... So everyone fought to the death.
Later, it was Arthur who said, "God guides ......," and everyone continues to fight for their faith.
Now, it was Arthur who said, "The God-King commands ......," and the knights obeyed.
Whether he is a leader or a leader, Arthur always abides by his own discipline: believe in himself, believe in the gods, believe in sincerity, and never betray!
Therefore, for more than a thousand years, for more than a thousand years, Arthur spent almost counting his own rings, almost watching the same sunrise and sunset, but never complained.
A short betrayal compared to an endless life...... And what's it?
But the language of the Pope touched Arthur's bottom line!
Even if it is a betrayal between husband and wife, a betrayal between kings and ministers, and a betrayal of warring and reversing...... After all, it is just a choice of profit, but if you betray your faith for the sake of profit, you should be the target of Arthur's holy sword slaughter!
"God has found a new god for believers!" Gently stroking the hilt of the magic holy sword, Arthur bowed his head slightly, looking at the pope who was dancing because of the disappearance of God:
"Your Majesty, the current situation of Catholicism is not easy to come by. As long as you obey the new God, the Vatican will continue to exist! β
When God left, he made it clear that the mortal world should continue to believe in God, and that after he left, a new God would come into being...... Majesty, you need to think about it seriously! β
After a long political struggle, Arthur finally had a strong heart and did not say the next word.
"If you choose to betray, then die!"
With Arthur's words, the holy light that originally emanated from the Pope's palm gradually began to become colorful.
This is a sight that has never been seen beforeβhow could a white light, pierced even by darkness, suddenly become colorful on its own?
The Pope, however, did not notice this. In his heart, he was always shocked by one piece of news - news from Arthur!
"It is true that God is no longer there, but before leaving, God left a new god for the world to continue to rule the world in his place......"
Anyone at the pinnacle of power doesn't want to have a higher level of power on their heads.
No one likes to command a man to be a cow and a horse at the same time, but also to take into account the mood of the "mother-in-law" with trepidation!
This is certainly the case with the little daughter-in-law, and His Majesty the Pope is no exception.
God is gone, but the Light remains. With this secret light of the popes alone, it can make believers all over the world flock to worship it. Truth be told, if God is really gone, it's not a bad thing for the pope. But if Jehovah's old man himself had retired, he would have sent an agent...... That's not what the Pope wants!
"Holy King, in fact, the Holy See has been speculating about whether God still exists...... "The Pope does not care about the changes in the Holy Light - it is all emitted from his own hands, perhaps rendered by the sunlight filtered by stained glass?"
Now by all indications, God has indeed departed from us. Why, then, should we continue to enjoy God's grace under God's light? As long as we keep it a secret, the whole world will be ours! β
The Pope continued to persuade with great painstaking words, not noticing that the holy light, which was originally only a few colors, became more and more vivid.
The most hated thing for any king is betrayal, and Arthur is no exception.
When the queen betrayed, Arthur gave her to be burned at the stake; When his son betrayed, Arthur killed him directly! For Arthur, betrayal is the most shameless thing in the world, how can he risk his reputation to be in the same league as this white-eyed wolf?
I wanted to kill him with a sword on the spot, but looking at the strange holy light in his hand, Arthur still held back the resentment in his heart and said indifferently:
"This world is no longer my world...... Your Majesty, a new deity is about to arrive. That's a being more powerful than God! I only hope that the Holy See, which I have guarded for thousands of years, will not become a ruin that everyone spurns because of the greed of some people! β
The Pope's face suddenly turned red and white, and it took a long time before he sneered:
"Holy King, when God is here, you can also use his blessings to dominate the world. But now, with God himself nowhere to be found, how can you still be invincible? β
"The Holy See, the Holy See for all! Not only does it belong to God, but it also does not belong to you! β
"After God, the new God-King? Hehe! The Pope laughed out loud and looked at Arthur sheepishly. This is an era when the strong are respected. Can your so-called God-King resist God's light? β
"Hehe, we all know that this is absolutely impossible! So Arthur," the Pope paced close to Arthur amid laughter.
"It's better to give up those unrealistic illusions, cooperate with me, and together we will shine the glory of the Holy See to the world...... Then you will be the bravest and holiest saint in the history of the Holy See! β
"I don't want to be a traitor to the faith!" Arthur let go of the hilt of his sword completely, turned his head and sneered:
"God is always in my heart! And I believe that the new god-king will certainly make the Holy See more stable and holy. It's not like you, who just learned of God's departure, and jumped out in such a hurry to take the place that rightfully belonged to God! β
Arthur walked towards the door - and after talking to such a man blinded by power, Arthur was not sure that he would be able to remain calm:
"If you don't get any new news the day after tomorrow, that is, on the twenty-fourth," Arthur stopped when he came to the door, turned his head and said in a deep voice:
"In the early morning of the 25th, I will take over the Vatican on behalf of the God King! And relaunch the new Pope according to the will of the God-King! β
"If you're still lucky enough to resist the divine power, you still have two days to prepare!"
Arthur opened the door and left the sanctuary without looking back, but the sanctuary echoed his last words of advice as he left:
"Depart on your own, and you are God's most devout follower; If you resist, you will never go to heaven! β
PS: At the time of writing this chapter, it was in a very bad state. I really want to have a vacation, and then carefully go through the plot in my heart......
Of course, the most longing thing is the cold bed after work.
Get a good night's sleep and write the next chapter well!
