Chapter 395: Heavenly Mountain, Athena
In the Papal Palace, Clement strode with great strides, and the papal chamberlains bowed their heads and avoided them.
Sigma quickly followed him: "Have you already decided?" Do you know what that means? β
"It's a big deal, there's no time for me to hesitate!" The Grand Adjudicator said categorically, "Sigma, it is the duty of the superior to make difficult choices at critical moments and bear the consequences. β
"When the Pope first told me about your plans, I questioned that the Templars must have been fully prepared to intercept Honorius, even if he had a legendary holy equipment with him." The situation was urgent, and Sigma's voice became fast, "I have no intention of commenting on your plans, but the accident happened, and His Majesty Honorius was banished to lava hell, and you have to save him - the point is, do you think the temple has no back?" β
"After transferring out a legendary powerhouse, do you want to send out a second legendary powerhouse?"
"What if the Templars laid traps and ambushes on Mars? Maybe they don't need to do it themselves, they just need to find a way to inform the rulers of Lava Hell, I don't think the demons will mind killing one or two human legends! β
"Two legendary powerhouses leave Cloud City, the Holy Mountain is the only one in charge, the vacancy of the top force will reach the extreme, if the temple takes the opportunity to attack on a large scale, the consequences are unimaginable, such a possibility can even be thought of by me, can't you consider it?"
"Besides......"
Sigma didn't go on.
Necromancer vs. Clement, Necromancer vs. Pope...... They both maintained an unspeakable silence to each other, believing that the two leaders were just like Sigma. are suspicious of the recent temple offensives.
That every move is aimed at the offensive of the Holy See, whether it is public opinion or actual combat. All pointed to the weaknesses and weaknesses of the Holy City, and none of the undercover agents who knew everything about the Holy See of Light planned the overall planning. It was categorically impossible for the Temple to gain such a large information advantage...... Moreover, the undercover agents of the Holy See hidden in the Holy See are so endless, even the cardinals are involved, and such a large-scale spy rebellion cannot be carried out so smoothly without a powerful person to cover up and protect it.
The maximum probability is...... One of the three legends of the Holy See reneged on their faith and oath.
Sigma had long been suspicious, and believed that Clement and the Pope were also paying attention...... Provided that there is no problem with the two of them.
No one has singled out this speculation, and everyone is reluctant to doubt each other. But the emergency that occurred at this time had pushed the situation to the most dangerous moment...... Honorius fell into a lava inferno, and Clement insisted on asking the Pope to rescue him.
The Pope's Holy See, the Blackfriar Clement, and the Greyfriar Cenorius, the legends of the Holy See, no matter which one of them is an undercover agent of the Temple, will turn this operation into a ruining disaster, and if there is a problem with Clement, then after the Pope leaves. There will no longer be a legendary priest in the Holy See, and if the Pope has a problem, then Zenorius will have a bad luck, and if Cleorius has a problem. Then the Pope will also be in danger...... It doesn't get any worse than that.
"I know...... Although it was a difficult choice, even though I am only an outsider, although I did not know how strong the bond between you is. How persistent you are in trying to save him......" Sigma followed Clement, who had been silent, trying her best to convince him. "But I think that at this moment I ask the Pope to go to the lava hell to rescue His Crowning Honorius. It's really not a wise choice...... It's just too risky, you know what I'm talking about, right? β
"Of course I do......," Clement stopped, turning his head to look at Sigma with a strange color in his eyes, and said indifferently, "I used to have the same suspicions as you...... Sigma, thank you for being outspoken, but as you said, you are not a priest and you don't understand our ......"
A smile suddenly appeared on the face of the acting pope: "I believe them...... We love the Holy See more than a qiΔ, and we will never allow anyone to destroy it, and you will not understand this emotion. Needless to say, I have a decision with the Holy See...... He'll make the same decision as I do, definitely. β
Sigma did not persuade again, for he found in the eyes of the acting pope a firmness that could not be persuaded...... He never had the luxury of changing the mind of the legendary powerhouse, he was just doing his best.
In this way, he silently followed the acting Pope to the secret passage, and followed the long secret passage to the entrance of the Archangel, and the Pope seemed to have sensed the arrival of Clement and was standing in front of the door waiting.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Clement said lightly, "Honorius was banished to lava hell by the Temple. β
The Pope was stunned for a moment, and then the legendary powerhouse's top spiritual power and wisdom instantly figured out the cause and effect and the meaning of Clement, and he nodded: "I'll go and save him...... But I'm going to take the Phoenix Holy Equipment to locate Honorius, and I'm going to have to use the Prayer Blade to contact the Heavens, so you're fine. β
"No problem...... I am not the only one who has the responsibility of protecting the Holy See, but other clergy have the same mission. Clement looked at the Pope's ugly look and said indifferently, "After you leave, the top force of the Holy See will drop to a very dangerous level in a short period of time, and if the temple is not a fool, it will definitely attack on a large scale, and I alone may not be able to stop it, and then the clergy will have to fill it with their lives." But we still have to make this choice, because the knowledge and power of Celesius are so important to the Holy See that when I have to make a choice, I choose Celestius. β
The Pope sighed, "Clement...... You can always make the toughest decisions at the crucial moments, but you know what that means, right? β
"Of course I do." Clement's gaze passed over the Pope, where Nina was poking her head out curiously, and the Grand Adjudicator only glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze and said indifferently, "I will bear it alone." β
The Pope was silent.
Clement said to himself: "The temple must have a backhand, remember to consult with the angels and be more careful." Be on your guard, you know what I'm talking about. Remember your mission and duty, the Holy See needs leaders. Try to come back as early as possible. I'm going to do something you don't want to do while you're all gone, and if I can't stop the Temple, I'll try to preserve the fire of the Holy See, and then I'll leave the task of rebuilding to you. β
The Holy See lost his voice: "Clement! β
"Maybe that's not a bad thing...... The Holy See has been at ease for so long that the clergy have forgotten blood and fire, sacrifice and remembrance, but in this most difficult moment, in the face of the attack of a ferocious enemy. They will recall the glorious light of the ancestors' bloody battles, the sword of the paladins, the chanting of the priests, and the indelible light of the Divine Spirits in every corner of Cloudsdale, forever guarding this immortal holy city, the place beloved by the Father......"
He took one last look at the Pope, and the Archangel seemed to shake, and the film of light that was cut off from the outside world disappeared, and he had planned to put the Pope in this cage. At the moment, he had to be released again, there was no exchange, there was no negotiation, because in this matter. No one is selfish, and everyone loves this church equally.
He tugged at the corners of his mouth and gave an unnatural smile: "I'll go first." Take care of yourself. β
The Pope kept staring at the departing back of Clement.
οΏ₯οΏ₯οΏ₯οΏ₯οΏ₯οΏ₯οΏ₯οΏ₯οΏ₯οΏ₯οΏ₯οΏ₯
Between the prayers at the Papal Palace, the holy seals on the ground shone brightly. Sigma stood at the edge of the room, the glorious light shifting. His expression was uncertain, and the necromancer memorized the Pope's every move attentively.
At this time, the Holy See had already changed into a wide papal robe, and the Legendary-level Holy Armor, which was twice as large as Ji Li's Holy Equipment, had been equipped, red and white two-tone, holy armor full of holy patterns, and six devices like phoenix wings pierced the sky, stretching wantonly, and the layered and stretched heavy gauntlet held a sacred long sword, the entire hilt was like an angel praying, and the gauntlet position, a pair of white wings stretched out...... This is the Alliance of Angels, once one of the Heavenly Swords, a peerless artifact that competes with the blue rage.
The Pope raised the prayer blade with both hands, and the light of the Heavenly Sword spread like water, and he seemed to have completed the communication with the Heavenly Side with the spiritual connection between the Holy Sword and the two generations of masters, and in an instant, a vast and incomparably powerful Holy Light power escaped from this prayer, and the energy was pure and strong, and it had begun to interfere with the stability of the space.
The Bridge of Leaps, the Aether Path, the power of the Century Ark to travel through space is affecting here, opening a brief passage from Noren to Heavenly Mountain, and the Holy See glanced at Sigma and showed a somewhat sad smile, before which he was speechless: "Sigma...... I'll leave it to you about CrΓ©ment. β
Sigma was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I see." β
"No...... You don't understand. The Pope shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Actually, I don't understand ...... either."
The holy light instantly blazed, the light obscured the vision, and when the light dimmed and the trace of the Holy See had disappeared, he was going to Heavenly Mountain, using the power of the Century Ark to lock the specific location of Honorius, and then go to rescue him.
But that's not something Sigma needs to care about.
The necromancer waited patiently between prayers for a moment, then took a deep breath and walked to the center of the Sacred Seal Circle, remembering what the Pope had done at the time, and he half-knelt down, reached out and touched the cold floor, pressing it to the place where the holy sword had been inserted.
Then he closed his eyes, remembering the blue rage, remembering the dazzling splendor of that night, and remembering the Athena in his memory.
He was still the master of the Blue Fury, and he was still qualified to hold the Heavenly Sword.
Therefore, you can also use the magic circle here in the Holy See to contact Athena who is far away in Heavenly Mountain through the spiritual induction of the owner of the Holy Sword...... He had always believed that their hearts were communicative.
Sure enough, a moment later, a voice of surprise sounded from my heart: "This feels like ...... Sigma! β
The familiar voice was full of little girl-like excitement, even if she couldn't see the image of the other party, Sigma still instinctively sketched in her heart the cute appearance of Athena almost jumping up happily, fate is really wonderful, obviously a few months ago, she was still a proud angel with a stinky face shouting and killing......
The necromancer smiled slightly, and communicated in his heart: "Athena, I use the magic circle of the GuΓ² Holy See, with the help of the connection between you and me and the blue rage. That's how I can communicate with you. How are you doing? β
"Uh-huh! Very good! I have many, many friends now! I tell them stories about the world so that they can learn more about humans as creatures. Introduce them to the inventions of man and the gastronomy, the beauty and vastness of Nolen that do not belong to heaven, the things to remember, the souls to admire, the life to be respected...... Many, many more! β
Almost casually, one can imagine Athena kneeling on the ground, holding the holy sword in her arms, holding her fingers like a treasure, and her bright blonde hair. The eyes as blue as the sea, and the wings that keep flapping when they are excited...... This girl from heaven is no longer old-fashioned and boring, but more and more confident and lively.
Sigma smiled happily.
He deliberately asked, "Why don't you introduce me to them?" β
"It's already introduced......," Athena's voice was a little aggrieved and puzzled, "but they don't want to listen to it anymore, saying that they are tired of listening to it, and they can memorize it, really, it won't be good to hear more about Sigma......"
She muttered. Another thing came to mind: "That's right! Sigmar, you say, are you in the Holy See? Are you still with poached eggs? β
Poached egg...... Forgive me, Kelly, why did I realize in the first place who Athena was referring to?
Let's talk about "Cow One" and "Cow No. 2" in Kiri's mouth......
You like to give people nicknames in private......
"Speaking of which......" Sigma's voice slowly stiffened. Athena, I have something to ask you. β
Athena replied dryly, "You say." β
"Now that the Pope has reached the Ark of the Century to Paradise Hill, he has come to ask for help. Because a legendary powerhouse of the Holy See has fallen into a lava hell, I want you to go to Tyrese now. Then remind him ......"
"Huh? It's actually serious!? β
ββ¦β¦ Otherwise, what do you think I want you to do? β
"Hey, hey, hey, of course...... Wow, ahhhh The wings just almost turned black! It's dangerous, it's dangerous! β
ββ¦β¦ You now think about the H thing. Do the wings change color? β
"It's better to think of something related to Sigma, and the dark energy sometimes gets the upper hand!"
"Forget it...... Get down to business. Sigma lowered her voice and said solemnly, "Listen, Athena, this matter is very important, you go to the Angel of Judgment Tyrese yourself, warn him privately, and keep an eye on this matter...... Be sure to err on the side of caution and keep an eye out for the anomalous movements of Honorius and the Pope! Don't be careless! β
"What?" Athena is a little cute, but as a war angel in heaven, she still has a basic IQ, or rather, she always thinks quickly about anything about Sigma, "What do you mean...... Could these two legendary powerhouses of the Holy See have bad intentions? β
"That's right...... Remember the sanctuary that kidnapped you? He comes from a force called the Temple, and now the Holy See is facing a threat from the Temple, and I even suspect that one of the three legendary powerhouses of the Holy See is an undercover agent of the Temple! Honorius, even the Pope, there is something suspicious! So please be careful on the side of Heaven! Sigma kept her tone as steady as she could, "Also, I need you to keep an eye on the rescue from the Heavenly side and tell me on time...... We use the same method to connect. Also, note that this matter must be kept secret, and at most Tyrese will know about it...... In particular, I have been recognized by Blue Fury, and I must not let others know about the things I can communicate with you! β
"I see...... But, Sigma, are you in danger right now? There was a hint of concern in Athena's voice, "Do you want me to go to Noren again?" β
"I'm afraid not...... Tyrese won't say yes, and besides, I need your help in heaven, all sorts of ways. Sigma was relieved, "Also, don't worry about me, I'm very powerful now, I've been bored lately, and I've killed another Sanctuary...... Maybe it won't be long before I catch up with you, and when the time comes, I'll fulfill my agreement with you and go with you to find out my origins and find the other half of my clan......"
Athena was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Sigma still remembers that agreement......"
"Always remember, never forget." Sigma said softly, "I was a little worried and irritated, but it's nice to hear a familiar voice, Athena, we'll meet again soon, definitely." β
After talking to the angel for a while, and finally reluctantly saying goodbye, setting the time for the next exchange, Sigma stood up, the warm smile on his face retracted, the current situation is not the time to think about these things.
As he and Clement said, the Pope took away the Phoenix Holy Equipment and the Prayer Blade, and the top combat power of Cloudsdale has been reduced to a minimum, according to the previous action style of the Temple, it will definitely not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, maybe this is a well-arranged plan, from the time when he was about to make a move on Celerius, a large net was covered, banishing Celerius to the lava hell, forcing the Holy See to send someone to rescue, and then taking advantage of the emptiness inside the Holy See, to launch the strongest offensive in one fell swoop......
The more now, the more calm we have to be......
Sigma left between prayers and prepared to go to Clement.
The dark creatures of the Thorn Iron Prison should be a good fighting force. (To be continued......)
