Seven days flew by, and when Talos came to the Ocean God Domain Square again, he was stunned by the sight in front of him.

As the Lord of the Black Sea, a legendary mage, and the son of a gorgon, Talos belongs to the Naga who has seen the world, and has personally visited the headquarters of the two medium-powered churches, the Goddess of Wealth and the Goddess of the Sea, but the scene of the Ocean God Domain still brings him a strong visual impact and shock.

I saw thousands of Naga black pressed suspended in the sea one by one, filling the entire space around the sea god Asgt and most of the sky above, reciting beautiful poems in praise of the Creator in a neat and reverent manner.

- If it weren't for the disrespect for the gods with their bodies above the temple and the square, the little space left would probably be divided by the Nagas, who were crowded outside and couldn't see the situation in the square.

When the four candidates appeared in the square one after another, the voices around them suddenly became much higher, mixed with all kinds of discussion and applause-

"I hope it will be Elder Rachel, who will be a majestic and wise pope. ”

"Just hope, my dear, that we trust in the will of the Creator and that the Holy Grail will make the most correct choice under God's guidance, and the answer will soon be revealed. ”

And when Titis VIII slowly raised the scepter, all the voices of prayers, chants, and cheers disappeared in an instant, and the birds were silent.

The other Elders and Knights of the Divine Domain who did not participate in the Pope race looked as nervous and expectant as the onlookers, and Talos noticed that Deborah's tail subconsciously flicked twice, which was a sign of nervousness.

Obviously, this ambitious knight of the God's Domain is not as confident in the papal throne as she said before, in fact, none of the four candidates standing in front of the stele under the guidance of the Pope at the moment are completely sure, except for fate, God's will is probably the most elusive thing in the world.

However, Talos knew very well in his heart that compared to them, he was less likely to be chosen by the Holy Grail, and no god would choose a false believer to be the pope, which was definitely a wrong decision that would have dealt a devastating blow to the entire church's belief system.

In fact, at this point, Talos suddenly regretted participating in the papal election ceremony, and he was already out the moment he threw the shell into the Holy Grail.

What's more, if this doesn't catch the Creator's attention, he'll have to gather enough faith power on the Terra plane to strip jealousy from his body.

"Think of it as a platform to promote yourself, but now they all know that there is a Naga named Minos, whose strength can compete with the knights of the gods. Talos reassured himself, "It's a good start." ”

"It's time for the Holy Grail to decide—" Titis VIII tapped his scepter on the Holy Grail twice, "the will of the Creator will come down from heaven to the bottom of the sea!"

Accompanied by a pleasant sound, the Holy Grail emitted a holy golden aura, and everyone held their breath, watched, and waited......

A four-armed naga with four arms composed entirely of holy aura rushed out of the chalice with something in her hand, and the golden mist of light radiated out, illuminating the surroundings as beautifully as a dream.

The four-armed Naga swung its slender and beautiful tail and circled above the square, rising higher and higher, until finally stopped in the midst of thousands, possibly tens of thousands, of expectant gazes, stretched out a pair of middle arms, and spread out the palms of his hands.

The four-armed naga had a white shell lying in the palm of his hand, and no one could tell whose name was engraved on it because of the distance, but the overwhelming cheers had already spread in the water.

A new Pope is born!

Fortunately, the value of the four-armed naga is not just to make this papal election ritual sacred, but to faithfully convey the will of the Creator.

Bang, with a soft sound, the four-armed Naga's body collapsed, turning into wisps of holy spiritual light that quickly rippled and swam in the crowd, carrying the joy and longing of the Naga into dragon letters, quickly arranged and combined, and finally turned into a huge golden name in the center of the square, reflecting the eyes of thousands of Naga - Minos!

With a buzz, the originally enthusiastic and excited cheers suddenly changed the tone, and even the sea froze.

Minos!

An unexpected result, neither an Elder nor a Knight of the Divine Domain, and more importantly, this is a male Naga!

It was so surprising that for the first time in thousands of years, there was a rare occurrence of cheering stopping in the middle of the process, and then it turned into a burst of unbelievable exclamations.

"Is it true that the Creator is above?"

"Oh my God, what did I see!?A non-member of the Ocean God Domain ascended the Pope's throne!"

"I can't believe my eyes, Karloff, my dear, I'm afraid we're about to have the first male pope in history!"

"Anyway, it's the will of the Creator, rejoice together!"

Deborah and Jocelyn looked uncontrollably surprised, as if they had swallowed ten toads alive in a row, and one was stuck in their throats - there was no precedent in the history of the Ocean Divine Domain for non-members of the Divine Domain to become popes, and neither did the male popes.

Rachel, who had been waiting for cheers with her head held high, was slumping at a speed visible to the naked eye, and if it weren't for the strength of the second order to support her, she would probably be paralyzed on the ground at this moment.

Even Talos himself didn't react at the first time, he maintained the posture and expression he was looking forward to just now, and even subconsciously applauded twice when he saw the huge name "Minos", telling himself that a Naga named Minos had become the new pope.

It wasn't until the next second, receiving eager eyes and loud cheers from all directions, that Talos came back to his senses, wasn't Minos his pseudonym?

How is it possible that Talos, the new pope of the Sea Domain?

Countless doubts rushed into Talos's brain, was it the Creator who was too weak to tell who his true followers were, or was there something wrong with the Holy Grail that even Dietis VIII was not aware of?

Otherwise, how to explain the golden name that still hovers and shines above the square, God knows that he is not a believer in the Creator!

It is true that Talos has fantasized more than once that the shell from which the Holy Grail spits out is engraved with his name, so that he can naturally ascend to the papal throne and proclaim the faith of Talos, the incarnation of the creator and the Lord of Judgment, by virtue of his position and status, but when the reality really happened in front of him, Talos's first feeling was not that he was excited, but that the whole thing was ridiculous.

"Minos—"

Presumably because Talos was slow to respond, Titis VIII chuckled and called out his name and beckoned to him.

At the same time, "Minos"—the golden name—exploded violently, ten times more fantastic than any fireworks show Talos had ever seen in his previous life, and turned into countless "Minos" composed of dragon letters and sprinkled across the entire ocean god domain, announcing the will of the Creator to the world.

"Minos I! Minos I!"

Spurred on by thunderous applause and cheers, Talos finally realized that he wasn't dreaming - in a lineup of Godfield elders and two Godware knights, the Holy Grail, or rather the Creator, had finally chosen him - and the obedient instinct left his place and swam forward, all the while.

Talos felt that the distance between him and the Pope was less than fifteen feet long, and he could feel countless eyes on him, each eye being an arcane eye created by the spell of the Prophecy faction, and the discussion and cheers were even louder.

It seemed like an hour had passed for Talos to finally come before Pope Titis VIII.

"Minos, from now on, you are the 213th Pope of the Sea God Domain!" declared Titis VIII in a clear and powerful tone, placing a crown on Talos's head that had been prepared long ago.

Although the Holy Grail's decision was unexpected - after all, Talos's ascension to the papal throne meant the first pope in history who was not a member of the Domain, and the first male pope, especially the latter, for the first time in history in a society ruled by a female Naga, made history - the surrounding Elders and Knights of the Divine Domain were the first to send their blessings, including Rachel, who had never looked at Talos before.

The only two male members of the Ocean God Domain were even more excited, as if it was not Talos who wore the crown on their heads, but themselves.

"Are you ready?" said Dietis VIII with a kind smile, not minding Talos's special status.

Facing the Nagas who had come from afar, Talos slowly opened his arms to receive cheers as the new Pope of the Sea God Domain.

At this moment, the cheers and applause reached their climax, and Talos doubted that even a small boat floating 1,000 yards from Yasgat could hear it.

Each Naga, female, male, mature, young, noble, commoner, had an excited look on their faces, and Talos suddenly realized that after a brief moment of shock and amazement, they naturally accepted the fact that a strange Naga knight and male had ascended to the papal throne.

Of course, they were so shocked that they could not utter a complete sentence, but when the Holy Grail on the platform and the will from heaven came into view, the faith and respect for God dispelled the last trace of disbelief and uneasiness in their hearts.

This is the will of the Creator, so why should they not accept it?

But Talos said that it was the power of faith, the most neglected and the most terrible force in the world.

No matter how incredible and absurd it is, believers can be sure that it is God's will, and they can not only try to accept it with adoration, but also interpret it with self-interpretation to find a reasonable and logical explanation.

"Minos I! Minos I!"

"Minos—" Titis VIII looked at Talos, "come with me, before taking over the Sea Domain and this temple as the new Pope, I will have to perform a passing ceremony for you, passing on to you the knowledge and experience of the 212 Popes, including me." ”
