Chapter 149: Plan before you act
Valen was naturally annoyed by this, although Elise and Giles had the heart to support, their savings of 100 faith crystals had been exhausted, and they could only say that they couldn't help.
Although Valen knew that the two of them must still have hole cards, no one would take out this kind of thing until it was critical, let alone use it to help themselves.
Valen came back from three days of travel with little harvest, and when he happened to see Kratos' performance, he naturally couldn't help but exclaim.
After being amazed by Kratos' performance, Valen's face suddenly sank, and he looked at Pop as if flames of anger were almost spewing out of his eyes.
"Pope, who gave you the guts to dare to go against my will, it seems that your soul is blinded by greed, corrupted and depraved, and is no longer qualified to become a believer in the god of war. ”
Valen's voice was as cold as the wind blowing in the barren land, and in the warm spring earth, Pop only felt cold in his hands and feet, as if his blood was frozen in this instant.
"Lord Valen, I ......"
Pop's plea for mercy stopped abruptly, and he was strangely frozen in place, his eyes full of fear, his mouth open, and his throat making a "gurgling" sound, but he couldn't say a complete word.
With a flick of Valen's wrist, the blood-red battle flag shrank back to the size of a palm, and it was only then that Pop's corpse finally reacted.
First, a line of blood emerged from the forehead, then quickly elongated and expanded, and finally the whole body split into two symmetrical halves, blood and internal organs flowed all over the ground, and the air suddenly filled the air with a pungent smell of blood.
Seeing this shocking scene, all the believers trembled, holding their breath and not daring to come out, for fear that if they were slightly offended, they would follow in the footsteps of Pope.
Pop's ambition Valen has long been aware of it, but he has always hidden it well, and he does not dare to neglect himself conscientiously on weekdays.
Valen, who prides himself on being clever and wise, doesn't take Pope seriously at all, so he has always turned a blind eye.
But he didn't expect Kratos to appear out of thin air, which made the desires and selfishness that had been hidden in Pop's heart swell sharply, and finally even hatched the ambition to dare to go against his will.
Kratos is the bargaining chip that Valen has bought with all his own, and it is the key to whether he can achieve his ambitions in the future. He tried his best to help him improve his strength quickly, but Pope was secretly pulling himself back, disobeying his orders, and did not explain the mystery between soul and faith for three days.
This has completely crossed Valen's bottom line, so he was merciless, and directly killed Popger on the spot, without any chance to defend himself at all, this kind of believer at the bottom of the Divine Religion will be killed if he kills it, and no one will pursue it at all.
"I didn't expect that in just three days, you will find out the mystery of the soul and fully manifest it, and then as long as you continue to enhance the power of the soul and reach the level of condensation into substance, you will be qualified to comprehend the supernatural power and truly become a noble disciple. ”
The killing intent on Valen's body suddenly dissipated, and he said to Kratos with a happy face, as if he had just randomly pinched to death an ant with no human rights, and there was no incongruity on his bright smile.
Kratos nodded silently, dissipating all the light from his body. He knew that his goal had been achieved, and it would not be long before Valen would make a move and introduce himself into the inner circle of the Cult.
When he came to this world, Kratos began to secretly think about the path he wanted to take in the future. He was not too worried about the situation in the Peloponnese, he collapsed the staircase of the underworld, completely closed the passage of the invasion of the underworld, and destroyed the main force of the underworld army in the big explosion. The remnants of the army were still large in number, but not powerful, and he believed that with Lyktans and Gaunt, Arthur Evans had enough strength to control the turmoil.
The first thing he had to do was naturally to recover his strength as soon as possible, and accidentally entering the Divine Sect provided him with a faster shortcut.
Conceal one's identity, show one's worth a little when necessary, and silently seek benefits in the complex whirlpool of this struggle.
After discovering that Kratos was far more talented than he had imagined, Valen stopped running around and taught the mysteries that only his disciples could access.
At this time, in his heart, Kratos was already directly regarded as a disciple, and there was no contempt and contempt between his words.
In order to improve Kratos' strength faster, Valen finally took out a bud with no branches and leaves, handed it to Kratos, and made him chew and swallow it directly, while explaining: "This is the bud of the crown of Ruihe Yana, which has the effect of strengthening the soul and strengthening the qi and blood. Only a strong man at the apostle level who did his best to burst out with all his strength, so that a crown of Ruihe Yana withered in an instant, could he get such a bud. ”
The crown of Ruihe Yana can react with the changes in the aura of the powerful people around it, and if all its petals can wither at the same time in an instant, then the energy contained in each of its petals will all pour into the central buds, thus condensing into a divine object with a special effect.
This crown of Ruihe Yana is more than ten times more huge than what people have seen in the world, and it is more than ten times more difficult to make a petal wither, at least it can only be done by a hundred enemies.
Moreover, this Ruihe Yana is extremely sensitive, if several strong people join forces, its petals cannot wither at all, but will only be retracted and restored to an unbloomed state.
And to make such a flower wither in an instant, the difficulty can be imagined, which also made Kratos understand that the strength of apostle-level characters is at least equivalent to the legendary demigod existence in the world, which is stronger than Maklov in his heyday.
Kratos's soul strength is stronger than that of Varen or Rodney, almost reaching the level of an apostle, and he also tried his best to restrain himself when he was appraising, and deprived Xu Ross of the soul fragment from the depths of his soul, and indiscriminately replaced himself for identification.
Otherwise, all his strength will explode, not to mention any soul eaters, it is estimated that the bronze ancient basin of the missionary priest will be burst.
After devouring the buds of a huge crown of Ruihe Yana, Kratos's body was replenished again, and his qi and blood strength returned to about 500 horsepower.
Ten days later, Valen took Kratos to a palace built on the top of a mountain, and such a miraculous skill was obviously the work of a great supernatural person.
Outside the palace is a wide platform, and in the center of the platform stands a statue of the god of war.
When Valen landed on the platform with Kratos, Elise, and Giles, there were already more than a dozen people gathered here.
These people are all imposing and arrogant, and they are obviously disciples of a superior status.
The arrival of Valen and the others immediately attracted everyone's attention, and most of the eyes fell on Kratos, who was obviously a new disciple who had spread among the Cult.
Varun seemed to have pinched the time, almost as soon as they arrived, and before others had a chance to come and interact, the sky descended on the next powerful and fierce momentum.
Everyone couldn't help but have a grim face, and the originally scattered group immediately gathered, silently waiting for the arrival of the owner of this momentum.
"God of War is on ......"
With this majestic voice, a man with a murderous face descended from the sky and landed steadily in front of the idol, with his hands behind his back, looking down on the disciples condescendingly.
That powerful momentum condensed into substance, forming swords, spears, bows and arrows and other weapons beside him, and there was a piercing sonorous sound when they collided with each other, and just a glance from a distance, that battle intent was enough to make people feel gallant.
It's so powerful, even if you return to your heyday, you're probably not an opponent if you condense the body of a giant!
Kratos immediately lowered his head after just one look, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly because of the churning of qi and blood.
Valen, who was beside him, noticed his abnormality and thought that he couldn't withstand the momentum of the apostle Cadmus, but he didn't have the slightest disdain in his heart, because he had a deep understanding of the power of the apostle's powerhouse, which was a great existence that could dominate the lives of tens of thousands of believers in half of the kingdom of God, and mortals were not even qualified to take a look.
The apostle Cadmus's cold eyes, without a trace of mood fluctuations, scanned the disciples like a falcon, and a trace of depression flashed on his face.
"Let's get started......"
Immediately after the apostle Cadmus gave a cold order, one of the disciples stepped forward, stood in a position that everyone could see, and reported aloud, listening carefully to the management of human slavery and the development of believers for a period of time.
After one person finished the report, the other person went on to add the contents of organizational management, personnel development, the crystallization of faith, and the results of disciples' field training.
Kratos couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart, which had been faintly haunting him when he entered the Cult, and it suddenly became clear, and he finally understood the origin of this strange feeling.
The Cult of God is not at all an imaginary organization dedicated to spreading the glory of the gods and demagoguery and developing believers, but more like a kingdom with a rigorous organization and orderly operation.
The apostle Cadmus was like a high king, and the disciples were noble ministers with their own duties, gathering at regular intervals to report to the king on the development of the kingdom he ruled.
From beginning to end, the apostle Cadmus stood in front of the idol without saying a word, with a grim expression, and it was not until the disciple's report was finished that he finally spoke, and the voice had a shocking effect that reverberated on the top of this high mountain.
"But there are people who have condensed their supernatural powers to the extreme and comprehended deeper mysteries......"
After Cadmus's words fell, there was silence on the vast platform, and everyone couldn't help but bow their heads, as if they didn't dare to face what was going to happen next.
