Chapter 614: So the setting is round!
There were no earth-shattering images, no brilliant images, and the Pope seemed to be an understatement of action, but it caused a terrified shock among the members of the Holy See around him.
"This ...... What's wrong with these people? β
Seeing that he knelt on the ground in an instant, bowing his head and praying one by one, completely abandoning the papal people who had worked before, Yi Cheng turned his head to look at the hourglass with some puzzlement.
And the hourglass himself looked quite excited, and even the voice that answered Yi Cheng trembled slightly.
"Great Prophecy...... It's the legendary Great Prophecy ......"
"So I said...... What is Great Prophecy? Can I eat it? β
"I don't know if I can eat it...... But in the legends...... Cultivating the Great Prophecy requires cannibalism......"
ββ¦β¦β
Taken aback by the hourglass's clueless explanation, Yi Cheng hurriedly kept himself away from the Pope, and at the same time tried his best to show that "if you eat yourself, you won't be immortal and increase your strength".
And then, under the hourglass's explanation, Yi Cheng finally understood what kind of shocking and incredible power the so-called "great prophecy" that the Pope is now casting.
In the Bible, the vast majority of beings with extraordinary abilities possess the ability to "prophet" and "prophesy"βaccording to the Holy See's interpretation, this is the ability to communicate with God, and to obtain information about the future through the revelation of the gods, so as to foresee certain major events that may occur in the future.
It is worth mentioning that the vast majority of similar abilities such as "prophets" and "prophecies" appear in Western myths and legends, compared to the images of immortals and devils who "jump out of the Three Realms and are not in the Five Elements" in Eastern mythology, and most of their abilities are also reflected in their personal combat effectiveness and ability.
Perhaps it is the difference between Eastern and Western cultures, or because of the fact that during the same period, the abilities that the supernatural abilities in different regions focused on and excelled at were different, in short, after a long period of time, the vast majority of the ancient supernatural ability organizations died out one after another, and their respective abilities and means for foreseeing the future also disappeared into the pile of old paper.
As the oldest and most powerful supernatural organization in existence, the Holy See ...... But he still holds this powerful and mysterious ability that has been passed down from ancient times to the present.
"Legend has it that Noah built the ark in anticipation of the Great Flood that swept the world, and the prophet Isaiah, one of the creators of the Old Testament, had already predicted the New Testament era and the future of the coming of the Son when he wrote the Old Testament, and the book of Revelation in the New Testament predicted the future of mankind and the end of the world......"
Probably because she was in a dark council that was more inclined to Western culture, Hourglass obviously knew a lot about this knowledge, and what she said next made Yi Cheng even more surprised by these so-called "prophecies".
"If these legends alone are not enough to confirm the authenticity and credibility of prophecy, then ...... In the 15th century, a prophet named Nostradamus accurately predicted the coming of the War of the Century......"
"What are you kidding?!"
Yi Cheng was stunned at the time - in the 15th century? At a time when science was not yet enlightened and mankind was full of ignorance, there were already people who predicted the future of the twentieth century?
"Yes, this prophet once wrote a book of prophecies, The Ages, in which he explicitly predicted many historical events in the coming centuries, the most famous of which is this one about the end of the world."
Hourglass cleared his throat and whispered the passage β
"On July 1999 β
The king of terror descended from the sky,
The Devil King reappears,
From this day on,
War will rule the world in the name of peace and happiness! β
ββ¦β¦β
If someone used such a prophecy to tell Yi Cheng that this was describing the coming of the end of the world before he became the savior, Yi Cheng would definitely scoff at it - although the world is constantly at war now, this is obviously far from the end of the world, isn't it?
However, after learning about the history of the World War and the arduous and desperate battle process, Yi Cheng could not face it calmly.
"This ...... It can't be just a coincidence, right? β
"When many coincidences come together, coincidences cease to coincide."
This time, it was not the hourglass that answered Yi Cheng, but the Pope who looked like his eyes were slightly narrowed, focused on casting spells.
"The Prophet Nostradamus unexpectedly discovered the lost Great Prophecy of the Holy See in the ancient texts of the Holy See, and before his death, he delivered his prophetic book Genesis, along with the Great Prophecy, to the next Pope he had prophesied, Saxtoon V."
"So, the Holy See has been preparing for the War of the Century since then?"
"No, we didn't know what was going to happen at the time, after all, the content of this prophecy was too obscure, but when the fleet of the first Smecta Empire in the universe invaded and experienced the Battle of Ulaanbaatar, the direction of the prophecy became clear, and it was at that time that I announced this prophecy as the Pope, and led to the joint ...... of superheroes."
"I see......"
Yi Cheng nodded subconsciously, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"You mean...... You were already a pope at the time? Did you fight in that battle of the century? β
"Ah, I thought you already knew."
Under Yi Cheng's horrified gaze, the little Pope's little girl smiled at Yi Cheng beautifully.
"Because I was injured a lot in the war, I simply changed to a young body......"
ββ¦β¦β
Thinking about the move that he was still restrained by the purpose of "starting with the highest death penalty in three years" when he was rubbing his back yesterday, what Yi Cheng wanted to do more at this time was to grab the ground with his head.
This is the legendary legal Lori, right?! What did Lao Tzu miss!
At this time, he completely ignored the other party's noble status as pope, and completely forgot what he had feared before, being crucified and burned to death on blasphemous charges.
"But then again...... Won't you interrupt the spell casting? β
"Ah, it's okay, the Great Prophecy doesn't need to use my own power, and the reason why I want to make such a move is just to establish a medium of communication, and to use the blood of Little James to guide the direction of the prophecy."
Reluctantly turned his focus from the strange direction back to the right path, if it weren't for the fact that he was really curious about the so-called "Great Prophecy", Yi Cheng would naturally not be able to act so seriously.
Let's not talk about anything else...... The mere prophecy of the battle of the century is beyond imagination in itself, but then again...... If the prophecy is true, then now that the War of the Century has ended in the victory of the superheroes, doesn't that mean...... The prophesied future has been rewritten? β
"The future is rewritten...... Maybe it's not a definite word yet. β
"But ......"
"Ah, I've found little Jacob."
Interrupting Essen's questioning, the Pope withdrew his scepter, let out a long sigh of relief, and then pointed in a certain direction.
"According to the prophecy, little Jacob's life is not in danger at the moment, just somewhere in that direction."
"Huh?"
For such vague information, Yi Cheng couldn't help but doubt the great prophecy technique just now.
"That's all?"
"Of course not......"
The Pope shook his head, then flicked his scepter and motioned for the cardinals to get up.
"It seems that the Holy See has a great guest this time."
