015. Divinity
Although Talos was ridiculed by the Pope for being short-sighted and shallow-insighted, this was not the case.
Whether it was the magic web, the plane travel, or the legendary spells, order, and knightly will incarnation he had witnessed, it was beyond the imagination of the natives of the Terra plane.
As a possessor of the Soul Fire, Talos was fully prepared to descend his consciousness from the Sand Mountain of the main material plane to his own position, far surpassing the magic level of the Terra plane, the Froststeel Scimitar, the Space Ring, and the Table World......
The Seven-Day Bible is just one of the cards.
Since the Seven Days Bible has temporarily failed for some unknown reason, causing the first line of defense to fail, the second line of defense naturally comes into play.
In an instant, the soul fire rose under the urging of Talos, bursting out countless orange warm flames, shining brightly!
The Pope originally thought that erasing the consciousness of Talos and taking over the body was just a time to change clothes, just like he had done to the successive "Popes" of the Ocean God Domain, and the sudden flames and light surprised him a little.
This fist-sized soul fire was originally sublimated from the soul of Talos due to an accident, and through refining the soul, absorbing the residual divine power of the Lord of Faith, and killing the master, as well as the two primordial desires of [Gluttony] and [Jealousy], it was promoted once, and its essence was a surprisingly high-level energy, existing in the form of a flame.
But in the eyes of the Pope, the soul fire, which was only the size of a fist, was a huge blazing fireball, illuminating the entire void, radiating endless light, spectacular to the extreme, containing surging power, mighty, like a round of scorching sun!
"This is ......" The moment the soul fire entered the field of vision, the Pope couldn't help but exclaim, and the transcendent posture of looking down on Talos just now immediately disappeared, "Divine Fire!?"
But how could the divine fire appear on an ordinary Naga, even if he and the earth and the sky were still a long way away from igniting the divine fire, not to mention Minos, whose own strength was only comparable to that of the knight of the divine domain, could it be that he was mistaken?
"Divine fire?"
Talos, who wanted to make a grand declaration and make a shining debut, suddenly jumped out of the pope's consciousness for a moment, which was amusing and a little interesting at the same time.
If he had the divine fire, he would have ascended to the god throne and become a member of the gods, where would it be his turn to be invaded by an indigenous resident with only third-order strength.
But then again, the Pope really shouldn't have invaded his brain with sheer will.
As a second-order bloodline knight of Talos, if he wants to defeat the Pope who is one rank above him, even with the help of a spell scroll, it will probably take a few minutes, similar to the Iron Knight on the outskirts of Birlingham to solve Bruce's secret ambush.
Moreover, considering the mysterious identity and origin of the Pope himself, as well as the special methods that may be hidden, Talos is not sure of victory.
But once the combat method is changed from martial arts and spells to will and soul battles, and the battlefield is transferred from the material plane to the spiritual level, things will be completely different.
The soul fire has not disappointed Talos since it was ignited, and to put it bluntly, the Pope's behavior is tantamount to a fat lamb jumping into the wolves on its own, and he is afraid that he will not be able to attract the attention of the wolves and actively bleating softly.
Occupying the right time and place, Talos was full of ambition and confidence, even if he met someone stronger than himself, he was not afraid at all, he ignored the pope's nonsense, and the bright and blazing soul fire suddenly tumbled violently, sending out rounds of light waves, as if ripples radiated.
Between the ripples, countless orange flames jumped, intertwined into a mighty corona-like flame, overwhelmingly pressing towards the golden light ribbon suspended in the air, and the momentum was very huge.
The spiritual storm that was still raging in Talos's mind just now was drowned in endless flames almost instantly, gently smoothed out like a fold in parchment, and disappeared without a trace.
"There is such a powerful power, even if it is not a divine fire, it is not far off!"
In the Pope's long life, not to mention encountering resistance, even in the process of erasing consciousness and taking over the body, it was the first time that an accident was encountered.
And the power of the soul fire, which was by no means something that ordinary people could control, surprised him even more, and suddenly realized that the Naga named Minos in front of him was hiding a heart-warming secret.
There was no surprise, surprise was only a very insignificant part of the Pope's strange emotions, and the soul fire in the face of a strong attack was quickly replaced by longing and joy.
"If you can take this flame that is suspected of being a divine fire for yourself, you will definitely be able to exert a more terrifying power than Minos, and maybe you can even devour the two guys of the Earth and Sky Divine Domain together, reaching an unprecedented realm!"
While the Pope was thinking, the flames and ripples that were connected had already swept over, crackling and bursting, and the golden light was submerged in it at once, and the surface aura could no longer withstand the incineration and bombardment of the soul flame light, and the wisps decomposed, and in an instant, they turned into streams of pure energy and merged into the flames, becoming a part of it.
Rumble!
As the orange flame rolled, the golden ribbon of light also burst out with brilliant aura, making a loud noise, and condensed into a huge wave under the repeated impact of the raging flames and layers of ripples.
This huge wave had eyes and a mouth on it, neither human nor Naga, and it kept screaming, and suddenly more and more waves were generated from the golden ribbon of light, and the number increased, until finally it was forced to evolve into a rough ocean in a sea of fire.
The waves were turbulent, the huge waves were emptied, and the golden light ribbon stood in it, faintly having a bit of the taste of standing up to the sky and the earth, and fighting against the soul fire.
The flames and waves collided constantly, and there was a fierce and dense sharp popping sound, which made people tremble.
After a round of flamelight was exhausted, Talos was inevitably a little surprised by the final result, the soul fire that had always been invincible actually did not burn out the golden light belt and the papal consciousness in the first round of confrontation, this is his home field!
Now that he finally knew the true strength of this mysterious pope, fortunately, the two were engaged in a contest at the level of will and soul, and other martial arts and spells would not be useful at all, otherwise it would be even more difficult to achieve victory.
However, Talos did not panic because of this, and the flame swept through and refined a lot of spiritual light bursting out of the golden light band, and the soul fire faintly increased by a point, so that he was still the one who won the victory, but it took a little longer.
"Huh?"
Sensing the growth of the soul fire and the special effect of refining the golden light belt, the Pope was not surprised, and his desire to snatch the soul fire was a little stronger, his golden light belt was not something that anyone could bring harm.
"Erase Minos' soul first, then capture the flames, and after completing the coronation ceremony, go to the Earth God Domain and the Sky God Domain...... No, if the flame is born with his soul, it would be bad if the flame was extinguished at the same time as the will was broken, so it would be good to just forcibly occupy the body, that flame should be the center of his will!"
After making up his mind, the Pope sneered, and the golden light band collapsed, and a huge wave of more than 500 feet highs appeared, and suddenly the waves rolled, surging, and storms, thunder, lightning and other phenomena descended on the sea at the same time, setting off an endless tsunami, rushing towards the soul fire together.
"Your use and understanding of the flame is too superficial and wasteful, so you might as well leave it to me. ”
"Hmph, I'm the master of the soul fire, and it's not your turn to evaluate how to use it. Talos retorted, "Besides, how do you know I'm only going to have one way?"
As soon as the words fell, the bright and blazing orange flame light was all restrained, and the soul fire emitted a terrifying suction force, forming a huge force field.
Talos wants to take the opportunity to refine and devour the golden ribbon of light, strengthen the soul fire, and improve his strength, while the Pope plans to forcibly occupy the body and take the initiative. There is no room for relaxation.
In the next second, the two collided together.
The indomitable momentum of the tsunami itself and the suction of the soul fire itself pulled all the waves around it in an instant, and the waves turned into columns of water under the action of the soul fire and fell into the center of the soul fire, like a dragon on land absorbing water, constantly rotating, and the scene was very spectacular.
Talos could feel that every moment the soul fire received a pure energy, growing at an unprecedented speed, several times or even ten times more than he had obtained by absorbing the power of faith or refining his soul in the past!
What's more, as the calcining devoured more and more waves, Talos felt a special aura on the golden ribbon of light, an aura associated with the gods.
Divinity, for no reason, a strange word was suddenly born in Talos's consciousness.
The golden band of light where the Pope's fundamental consciousness and soul are located is a divinity!
Before excitement and excitement took over his brain, Talos suddenly understood the meaning of divinity, as if he was born to know it - it was a special energy extracted on the basis of countless beliefs, and no energy of any level lower than divinity itself could cause the slightest damage to it, which was very magical.
At the same time, the head-to-head confrontation between the soul fire and the divinity made the Pope's understanding of the soul fire even higher, and his heart became more and more hot, knowing that there were only two people in the entire Terra plane who had the ability to cause damage to his ocean divinity!
Minos's soul fire is definitely a divine fire, otherwise with his extensive knowledge and knowledge, he really can't imagine that there is anything else in the world that can compete with the divinity of the sea and steal its power.
"Holy Grail!"
The Pope knew that the will was not a divine strength, but fortunately, his means did not stop there, and he shouted loudly and began to summon the Holy Grail of Treasures, which had not been used since the beginning of the battle.
One second, two seconds, three seconds......
Time passed, but the Holy Grail did not fall into Talos's mind as usual, and the unexpected situation gave the Pope a sense of foreboding.
Finally, it was Talos' turn to laugh at the other party: "Pope, I'll call you that, even if you want to get out of my head now, I won't give you a chance." ”
