Before Talos could diverge further, the Nagas around him let out a neat exclamation mixed with excitement and excitement, and the four-armed Naga with a scepter in one hand swam out of the Temple of the Creator and into the square.

The current Pope of the Sea Domain, Titis VIII, stands out among a group of naga with only one pair of arms.

In the Naga clan, if promoted to the third order to grow the lower arm, and promoted to the fifth order to grow the upper arm, if this rule is common in the Terra plane, Talos can smoothly conclude that Titis VIII has the strength of the third order.

Through the clear blue waters, Talos looked at the middle and lower arms of Titis VIII, and suddenly found a problem that he had ignored for a long time.

He had never heard anything of the Six-Armed Naga since he had descended to his own plane, which played an important role in the oceans, tides, the deep sea, the sandy mountains, the deserts, and the snowy regions of Antarctica, whether it was legends, stories, murals, or images, as if the Four Arms were the end of the Naga.

Talos withdrew his gaze and asked tentatively, "Have you heard the story of the six-armed Naga?"

"What, six-armed Naga," Deborah said in a tone of great shock—as Dietis VIII slowly swam toward the frozen stone monument in the center of the square, "for the Creator's sake, Minos, I can't imagine where the third pair of arms would grow from, shoulders?"

Deborah guessed correctly, but Talos felt a pang of sorrow for these Nagas who did not know the beauty and strength of the six arms.

In their history and culture, the four arms are probably the most perfect form of the Naga clan, after all, for thousands of years, only the Pope of the Ocean God Domain has this honor, and it is impossible to imagine the status, glory and significance of the six-armed Naga in the main material plane.

As for the snake-haired talent that can only be seen in the female six-armed Naga, Talos can't expect the poor Nagas trapped in the broken plane to appreciate it.

If the Holy Grail did spit out the shell engraved with his name after seven days, he would surely depict the image of the Creator incarnated as the Lord of Judgment as a male Naga with six arms, and Talos made a secret decision.

Deborah didn't stop at the topic of the six-armed Naga and quickly put it behind her, which seemed to her more like a young Naga's innocent and funny fantasy, just as humans on land always fantasized about growing a pair of harpy-like wings that could soar freely in the sky.

What's more, the appearance of Titis VIII means that the ceremony of running for the papal title is about to begin.

"It's time for us to go down and put the shells engraved with names in the Holy Grail. ”

Deborah looked around—more Naga swam in the distance, in droves, today and the next seven days were very important days for them, the Creator's spokesman for the Naga, the new Pope was about to be born—beckoning to Talos.

"Seven days later Titis VIII will be history, and the new pope will be in ...... Well, let me see, four Naga were born. Deborah took Talos as she swam towards the Temple Square, and quickly introduced him, "Rachel the Elder of the Divine Domain, Jocelyn the Knight, and us. ”

Titis VIII became history not just a literal abdication, but a real disappearance, a piece of history in the realm of the sea gods.

Because after the birth of the new pope, the previous pope will perform a very ancient and sacred ritual to pass on all knowledge and experience to the new pope, and in the ritual he will go to the kingdom belonging to the Creator and gain eternal life.

This is the fundamental reason why Talos could not find a trace of factors related to old age and the end of his life in Dietis VIII.

In fact, not only the Ocean God Domain, but also the Earth God Domain and the Sky God Domain also retain this tradition, and the Pope has passed it down from generation to generation, and it has never been broken.

"I sincerely hope that in many years' time, I will stand in the square and officially open another papal election ceremony. Talos said insincerely, but with great seriousness.

The desire to become pope is so real that it would be nonsense to start another pope campaign, let alone many years later, and he will have to leave the Terra plane in seven years.

"Then I can only wish you good luck, I can't compromise with you on this matter, boy. ”

As they spoke, the two of them landed in the square, and at the same time, eleven other Divine Domain elders and Divine Domain knights also arrived, two of them each carrying the head of a trench mermaid in their hands, and showed it to everyone with a proud and proud expression.

Talos quickly swept his gaze over the members of the Ocean Domain, and found that there were only two male Naga, and then untied a pocket that had been hanging from his waist - he had not exposed any information related to the Spatial Ring since entering the Ocean - and took out the head of a trench merfolk, held it high, and spun it in a circle so that all Naga could see it clearly in all directions.

"I can't believe that there are other people besides the Elders and Knights of the Divine Domain who are participating in the Pope Race, and really killing a Trench Merfolk to qualify for the election!"

"Isn't the point now about his identity? Creator, he's qualified to run for pope, and we don't know anything about him. ”

"I bet he's never going to be a pope!" Naga, a woman embellished with pearls and gemstones, said categorically, "The Holy Grail has no precedent for selecting a non-Divine Realm member to be the Pope, and he can't. ”

Above and around the square, thousands of Naga from all over the world swam around, either to pay homage to the Temple of the Creator or to participate in the upcoming rituals, including some of the nobles of the Naga kingdom or tribe, such as kings and chieftains, who began to whisper when Talos appeared unexpectedly.

In fact, even the Elders and Knights of the Divine Domain in the square cast surprised glances at Talos, one of them full of hostility, from Elder Rachel.

There are indeed other transcendent powers outside the three god domains, but they are basically the first order, and very few people can be promoted to the second order, that is, the level of a formal god domain knight, without the knowledge and help of the god domain, and it is even more remarkable to be able to kill a trench mermaid alone.

Only Pope Titis VIII, nodding very gently at Talos, withdrew his gaze, slowly opened his arms, raised the scepter in his hand, and an excited and agitated mood spread throughout Yasgat with the square as the center, and a sea of cheers came from all directions, echoing in the sea.

"The time has finally come!" said Titis VIII, smiling at the Nagas suspended in the sea, who looked like stars in a huge circular dome from Talos' point of view, "the ceremony of the election of the new pope is about to begin—"

There was another loud cheer, enthusiasm and longing, and under the influence of this atmosphere, Talos's emotions were also mobilized, and he felt a burst of excitement, full of anticipation for the next ceremony.

With that, Titis VIII aimed his scepter at the frozen stone tablet in the square and tapped it lightly three times.

The solid ice attached to it by the divine magic turned into flowing water and melted into the sea, and each of the ashlars that made up the stone tablet shook and began to move, and a hole appeared in the middle, which grew larger and larger, and a ray of holy golden light shone out from it, rippling in the sea.

About ten seconds later, the ashlars on the stele were rearranged and combined under the influence of divine magic, turning into a stone platform, allowing the Holy Grail, the treasure of the Ocean God Domain, to be presented to everyone without reservation.

The noisy cheering crowd fell silent, and all eyes were focused on one thing at the same time—the Holy Grail.

It was a goblet made of unknown material, half a foot high, like pure gold, emitting a soft, clear light, forming a unique light mist with the flow of the sea, more beautiful than the moon in the starry sky at night.

"The rules for the papal race are as old as this temple of the Creator, and a knight of the God's Domain or someone else who aspires to become the next pope must throw a shell engraved with his name into the Holy Grail. "In seven days, the Holy Grail, under the guidance of the Creator, will choose the name that will best lead the Divine Domain and the Naga to continue to prosper in Terra." ”

"It is a sacred and solemn ritual in which all people, even me, will be convinced of the result and the will of the Creator, and will carry it out with determination, and any objection will be seen as blasphemy and betrayal of the Great Creator. ”

At this moment, the voice of the great Asgat only Titis VIII was transmitted through the sea to the ears of every onlooker, loud and majestic.

"Now, you can throw the shells into the Holy Grail. ”

Rachel, the oldest Elder of the Divine Domain, a middle-aged woman with a darker complexion, swam to the Holy Grail with her head held high, throwing into it a shell that had been soaked in the blood of the Trench Merfolk.

Talos didn't mind Rachel's arrogance and hostility, and carefully looked at the other party's tail, but it was very obvious that the holy water effect was like the regeneration of severed limbs in the high divine arts, and he couldn't find anything related to scars and wound marks on it.

Rachel, Jocelyn, Deborah......

Under the gaze of a pair of eyes, it was finally Talos' turn.

He took out the shell and secretly prayed to fate - Talos had no faith and could only pin his hopes on an ethereal fate, but Sainz did not have a god who held the priesthood of [fate] - with his pseudonym, Minos, engraved in dragon language.

This was another point of confusion for Talos after the non-Creator believers, who were not sure if the Holy Grail would accept a pseudonym.

"Trust the Creator, follow your heart, and then you can be who you want to be. Probably seeing Talos' hesitation, Titis VIII encouraged.

Talos gave the kind-looking woman Naga a grateful look, threw the shell into the chalice, and lay quietly at the bottom of the grail along with the other three shells.

Next, there is only one thing that everyone, including Talos, needs to do, and that is to wait.

After seven days, the Holy Grail will give the answer.
