Chapter 444: For the Holy See
At night, the starry sky shone in the sky, and the camp outside the city lit up with a continuous incandescent glow, like a sea of light, but the city in the clouds was quiet and dark, only the majestic silhouette stood stubbornly into the sky.
Countless people watched the darkness of the city, praying and waiting, ready for the final end.
Cloud City, the nine-story bright plank road, Clement stood silently in the clouds, overlooking the light gathered outside the city, there was a solemn footstep behind him, and the acting pope did not look back, and said indifferently: "What about the things?" ”
The sound of flesh tearing behind him sounded, and the man in the holy robe forcibly took out the space ring buried in the flesh and blood, and with a flick of it, the ring hung up in the air and floated towards Crément: "Inside." ”
Clement grabbed the space ring casually, turned his head, looked at the big cardinal in front of him, his expression was cold and indifferent, since he knew the truth, every time he saw this temple disciple hidden in the Holy See, he couldn't hold back the murderous intention in his heart, Bishop Bartony, who lost his parents due to war in his early years, was adopted by a local priest, and was selected to study at the seminary in Cloudsdale because of his pious practice and outstanding qualifications, and joined the school of whitefriars, until he reached the high position of the great cardinal, and served two generations of popes, It has been more than 70 years...... Such a person is actually a temple disciple.
Bartoni met Clement's eyes and subconsciously took a step back, although he had long put life and death on the line, the person in front of him still made him feel jealous and afraid, even though the acting pope had the most secret cooperation with the Temple, it did not mean that the Templars would take him lightly...... Because it's so similar. Clément is too similar to the Templars' qualities, but he is not a Templar, an enemy who is more like a Templar than the Templars. This is enough to arouse their strong jealousy and even fear, because no one can imagine what kind of thing this guy will do.
Fortunately...... This time, the temple was still able to take the initiative, and when the plan moved on to the next step, Clement would not have to fear.
Bartoni breathed a sigh of relief, as Clement only glanced at himself before taking out the silver-white chest from the spatial ring. A large killing weapon loaded with the light of destruction, and then covered it with his right hand, and the spiritual power penetrated. Examine it carefully - it is approaching in the early hours of the morning, and according to Tesla's preset launch mode and activation time, there are still two or three hours before this terrifying alchemy bomb will be completely detonated. There's no doubt about its power.
Bartoni let out a soft breath. In a calm tone, he explained, "The light of destruction is completely fine, we got the startup method from Tesla's daughter, and it turns out that everything is working well, and you don't have to worry about what tricks we will play." After all, even if it is now, even destroying Cloudsdale will not make any sense, but will make the temple completely a thorn in the side of the top powers, and they will destroy us at all costs. Even if we said that there was only one Destruction Light and that the method of making it had been lost with Tesla's death, no one would believe it. ”
He looked at Clement, who was silent. He added, "Besides, we never thought of really destroying Cloudsdale, after all, all of this was your proposal and idea in the first place......
The Acting Pope looked up and smiled, "Are you threatening me?" ”
"It's not a threat, it's self-preservation, dealing with you is the most embarrassing thing in the world, enough to keep us awake at night, so we must leave the hole cards to contain you." Bartoni tried to make his tone as relaxed as possible, "Don't worry, after tonight, your script will end perfectly, your prestige will reach its peak, the general trend has been achieved, no one can question or challenge you anymore, and the evidence and hole cards in our hands will also be useless, after all, this is also your arrangement, isn't it?" At that point, even if it is fake, it will become true, so after tonight, we will fulfill the terms according to the original agreement, and the Temple and the Holy See of Light, we and you, will no longer have any relationship or involvement, and everything will start again. If you want to cooperate with us, of course you are welcome, even if you meet in the future, it is a normal thing, and no one should leave a hand at that time. ”
Clement smiled, continued to look at the light of destruction in his hand, Bartoni had already thought of retreating, he wanted to leave as soon as possible, stay by Clement's side, he was more insecure than ever, the Temple disciple said, "I should ......"
"Don't worry." The acting pope said casually, "I'll check again." ”
"IMHO, there's nothing wrong with the Light of Destruction, and you can't check for anything." Bartoni took a step back and said softly, "This is Tesla's legacy, containing technology and power that is not of this world, do you think we are not trying to parse and replicate its production process?" But the top alchemy masters and demon scholars in the temple have been thinking hard for a long time, and they can't figure out what to do, and if you want to see any clues in a short period of time, I'm afraid it's a little ......."
"Why can't you see it?" Clement raised his head and smiled indifferently, "My favorite and most beloved disciple is Tesla's most beloved wife, she died because of the temple, so, what Tesla made, I can't understand it?" ”
Bartony's eyes widened instantly, but in the next moment, the invincible but hair-thin blade of light flashed, and the brilliant sword-like sharp holy light broke through his body, brutally disintegrating all his defenses, blood gushed out, Bartoni shook a few times, and the strong holy power was like a violent conflict like a river, and it was no longer under his control.
He collapsed to the ground, the clergyman's strong vitality sustaining his breath, blood gushing out of his mouth, Bartony's eyes were horrified, and he muttered, "You...... What do you want? Even if you kill me, it's useless, do you think we didn't take into account the possibility of you turning your face? ”
"Oh?" After checking it, Clement put the light of destruction back into the spatial ring, put it on his finger, and chuckled, "I want to hear it, what countermeasures do you have?" ”
"In accordance with your agreement with the temple, we will do our best to help you complete your plan, and you will give the temple something in return. One of the most important terms is that you give us the Archangel number in exchange. All the chess pieces of the Temple lurking in the Holy See of Light will be withdrawn, enter the Archangel, and evacuate on this battleship......" Bartony took a few deep breaths and forcibly mobilized the Holy Light to seal the wounds, he wanted to give himself a chance to live, and he also tried to convince Clement not to let him do stupid things. "Got it? Our strength and heritage are much stronger than you think, and we also know about this Heavenly Battleship. Now that we've deciphered and parsed the identification system, we've taken over and assimilated the key to the permissions you and Honorius left on the Archangel, in other words, your permissions are no longer valid. Inability to exert any control over the Archangel number. This powerful battleship has completely fallen into our hands...... What this means, I'm sure you know. ”
His tone became sharp and sharp: "This means that the Archangel can take off at any time, and the ship's weapon system can shell all targets in and out of the entire Cloud City, and the consequences are no worse than the Light of Destruction!" ”
Clement touched the ring on his hand and smiled.
"Do you want to use the Light of Destruction to blow up the Archangel and wipe out all the pieces buried in the Holy See?" Bartoni snapped, "Foolish dreams! The Destruction Light's emission pattern cannot be changed. It can only be detonated at twelve o'clock in the morning, and we can escape in the Archangel before then. As long as you get out of Cloudsdale, even if the Light of Destruction is thrown into the battleship by you, it will definitely not explode, this is the detonation limit designed by Tesla, a hypocrite! ”
Clement snorted faintly.
"So, Clement, don't be impulsive, the Temple is making this deal with you with full sincerity, don't make any extraneous complications, your plan, the elders of the Temple appreciate it, we are also happy to see a stronger Holy See appear, and look forward to the next cooperation with you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change the Holy See, you don't let this plan fall short at the last moment!" "I'm not trying to threaten you, I'm just letting you know that the Templars aren't fools and won't give you a chance to cross the river and tear down the bridge." To tell you the truth, I told my colleagues on the Archangel before I came, if I don't go back after an hour, then don't hesitate to take to the air and bombard the remnants of the Pope's Hall on the ninth floor at full power, and within these two hours, we will destroy all the strategic objectives and living forces of Cloudsdale, and let you know what the consequences of deceiving the Temple are! ”
"Crément, I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want to die meaninglessly, there's more I can do...... But if you're pressing, I'm going to show you the spirit of the Temple disciples, as long as you know the consequences of all this. ”
After he finished speaking, his tone slowed down: "But if you let me go now, I will treat this incident today as if it didn't happen." We will take to the air at around 11:40 a.m., and then quickly leave the Holy Sword Province to leave the final stage for you, and you can follow the pre-planned script, push all the plots to us, and make yourself a hero to save the Holy See. But if you insist on tearing up the agreement, then the net will be broken, and we will not only use the Archangel to destroy all the living forces in Cloudsdale, but also announce your plan with the Temple, so that the Holy See of Light will completely fall into the abyss from which it will never recover! ”
Clement was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "You haven't told me yet, what will you do with the archangel number?" ”
Bartoni shook his head: "I don't know, but it will definitely be used in the right place, I promise." ”
Clement let out a mocking laugh, he laughed for a while, and when Bartoni felt bad, he spoke: "Do you know why I chose to do it to you? Because I was standing here, looking down, I found a figure that I was familiar with. ”
"That boy who doesn't know whether he lives or dies is here after all, he saw the hint I gave him, and should have guessed my true purpose, he knew the hardships of this trip, but he was not repelled by his own fears, and it didn't matter whether he relied on this choice to make this choice was a promise to the orphan girl or a confidence in himself." Clement let out a hoarse smile, "The important thing is that he can come, so it is not in vain that I taught him a ......"
He looked at Bartony, who was uncertain, and said proudly: "Old thing, you were promoted to the Holy Realm thirty-five years ago, and in the past thirty-five years, you haven't touched the edge of the legend at all, I thought at first that it was the many affairs of the Holy Radiance Department that dragged down your cultivation, but now it seems that the reason is self-evident, you are a fool who looks forward and backwards, and you will never be able to promote to the legend, and the peerless powerhouse who can stand on Noren and even the peak of the solar system is only me, Sargeras, and the kid who is running towards the Archangel who doesn't know whether to live or die...... Lunatic! ”
At this time, the murderous intent in Clement's eyes had been exposed, and Bartoni sensed that death was approaching, and said loudly: "Clement, even if you have the means to kill me and control the Archangel, you can't stop us from informing the whole of your conspiracy to the whole of Nolan!" You have to think clearly! ”
Clement laughed, his eyes sneering and madness, and he shook his head: "Don't you understand...... After tonight, whatever you say is useless! No one will believe your words! Because you're going to be a bunch of utter, pathetic street rats! ”
"You're too arrogant, you know......" Bartoni wanted to make a final effort, but seeing the madness and hatred in Clement's eyes, the fear that came like a tide suddenly grabbed his heart, and almost instantly, the Templars understood what the acting pope was going to do, and he could no longer hide his fear and horror, and hissed, "You...... You lunatic! How worthy you are to be a priesthood! Just for this reason, just for this reason? You're going to do something like this!? That's what you're really for!? ”
"Wrong! Wrong! The Acting Pope burst out laughing, the furious light shining brightly, turning into a sharp sword, tearing at Bartony's body, he gritted his teeth and glared at Bartony, "Everything I have done is for the sake of the Holy See!" In order for them to understand the meaning of protection and sacrifice, to let them understand what the real Holy See is, in order to unite them, in order to better protect them! For the Holy See! For the Holy See! For the Holy See! For the Holy See!!!!!! ”
Slowly Bartoni stopped struggling, only staring at Clement with empty eyes, remnants of pity and ridicule, Clement withdrew the light, no longer paying attention to the broken body, staggered to the ground, like a child, and whispered, "Yes, I am for the Holy See...... For the ...... of the Holy See"
