Although more than two years have passed, Julian has experienced a lot and grown a lot, but when he entered the gloomy cell and terrifying execution chamber again, Julian couldn't help but shiver all over his body.

There are shadows that people can't get rid of in their lifetime.

Of course, this ghost place is not set in stone. The wailing and screaming prisoners were gone, the bloodstained instruments were removed, and the entire basement was emptied. The walls of several adjoining cells and execution chambers were torn down to create a hall larger than the Pope's Chamber.

"Are you going to hold a 'grand ceremony' here?" asked Julian, frowning.

"Why not?" asked Christina rhetorically.

"But isn't the most suitable place to hold a 'grand ceremony' the most bright and bright hall?"

"I've transformed this place, using some means to seal a part of the bright aura of the Reflection Hall here. ”

With that, Christina snapped her fingers, and an identical large magic array appeared on the floor and ceiling of the temporary hall. The two large magic arrays generated holy light that reflected each other, forming a cylindrical range of holy light, illuminating the originally dark basement extremely brightly.

With the light, the darkness was dispelled, and in this way, this makeshift hall really resembled the contemplative hall above, which looked solemn and sacred. If it weren't for the faint smell of blood wafting through the air, no one would have believed that this was once the place of horror.

"The original plan was to have the 'Grand Gala' take place in the Fantasy Hall above, but it's always a good idea to be prepared for both. "In fact, it proved that I was right to plan ahead." ”

Julian shook his head and sneered, "It should take a lot of time for you to transform this place." I don't even know it, but it seems that you also left a hand for me. ”

"Speaking of which, I'd like to ask you, what's the matter with that snake man, didn't I tell you to get rid of all the guards in the Tower of the Seven Sins?" asked Christina, staring coldly at Julian.

"Are you talking about King Li? I think he's pretty good, so it's a shame to kill him like this. It's better to leave him alive and play the rest of the heat. Julian knew that Christina would definitely ask this question, and he did not shy away from it, and answered truthfully without humility or arrogance.

Christina's eyes were full of dissatisfaction, but at this critical moment, it was not wise to turn her face with Julian, she did not have an immediate attack, but left a cold sentence: "Remember, this is the last time you disobey my orders!" ”

"Is the 'Grand Gala' going to start right now? Won't you wait for the others?"

"No one else's. Originally, the 12 high-level executives were also participants, but now in this situation, it is impossible for them to participate. But it doesn't matter if these guys don't participate at all, and the most important person is you, as the Pope. ”

"Understood. ”

With that, Julian obediently took the papal scepter and stepped into the zone of light.

"Changlong", "Changlong", "Changlong", "Changlong", "Changlong"......

As soon as Julian stepped into the holy light zone, a hole opened in the floor next to him, and with the sound of a series of iron chains colliding, a large iron cross rose from the hole in the ground, and I saw that on the iron cross, an unconscious man was bound with iron chains.

This man is still alive, but only half of his life is left, his breathing is very weak, if it weren't for his solid body, he might have been unable to survive and died.

"Who is he?" Julian wondered.

"Since there is to be a 'grand ceremony,' there must be sacrifices. ”

"Sacrifices?"

"This man's name is 'Nemo', and he turned out to be one of the four great generals of the Revenge, codenamed General 'Lynx', nominally Sophia's subordinate. But he betrayed his master and companions. ”

"Oh! it turned out to be him. Julian looked stunned. He had heard about General "Lynx", and now he had fallen like this.

But that's not bad, a pathetic traitor seems to be a good sacrifice to Lucifer, who is in charge of betrayal and original sin.

"Without further ado, let's get started. Christina urged.

"Okay, what should I do?" said Julian, lightly.

I saw Christina raise her hand, and ten spars with different lights appeared in front of her, and then she sent her palm forward, and the ten "Star Keys" floated up on their own, flew to the light zone, and were evenly embedded in the light barrier of the cylinder.

"Use your papal metaphorical contract to channel the energy of these 'Star Keys' one by one. And ......," Christina commanded.

Outside the Papal Palace.

The eclipse is already underway, and the dark moon has finally moved to a position where it can block out the sun.

At this time, the land shrouded by the dark shadow of the "solar eclipse", including the entire territory of Holy Pope Island, most of the sea area of the Olopa Sea, as well as the coastal areas of the Brilliant Continent, the Star River Continent, and the Morun Continent bordering the Olopa Sea, as well as the flying ark "Tower of Babel" hovering above the clouds, are all deeply under the rule of the "Solar Eclipse".

The darkness was so domineering that even the last shred of light was completely swallowed up. Even the shining light on the dragon's body, in this vast expanse of boundless darkness, was no different from a weak firefly or a broken candle.

It was obviously noon, but suddenly it was dark. When the sun is obscured, it is not only light that is lost, but also vitality and hope.

This creates the illusion that all living beings involved in the war, whether humans, elves, dwarves, werewolves, vampires, dragons, or monsters...... Almost all of them have fallen into the boundless, never-ending dark abyss, and they will never be able to transcend life.

Of course, this is only an illusion in the hearts of the combatants who are at the heart of the battlefield and are in the thick of the battle; In addition, those who are determined in mind are not affected by the darkness of this "eclipse".

Sophia and Owen are such strong-minded people. Grasping the slightest blow in the enemy's utter darkness, they killed a dozen of the Truth fanatics and stormed the Papal Palace.

The Papal Palace, or the part of the Papal Palace that is still intact, is brightly lit inside. It seems that the darkness brought about by the "solar eclipse" outside does not have much effect on this. Sophia and Owen were in the papal palace for the second time, and they expertly navigated the vestibule hall, only to be met by a dozen fanatics of the Society of Truth before they reached the upper staircase.

The Truth Society threw the battlefield outside to the Knights Templar, the Beasts, the Head Tree, the Cloud-piercing Longbowmen of the Kingdom of Sealand, and the Werewolf Legion, but deployed all of their descendants in the Papal Palace, indicating that Christina would do whatever it took to keep the so-called "grand ceremony" she held in the Papal Palace. Because of this, Sophia is even more anxious, she must do everything in her power to destroy the "grand ceremony" before everything reaches the point where it can be saved

At this stage of this war, what we are fighting for is speed, and what we are fighting for is time. Whoever can take a step faster will achieve the ultimate victory!
