As long as you follow my plan, it will only be a night's business at most. ”

Judy, the dark witch, smirked evilly and said bewitchingly, "Your Highness Charles, don't worry, I will prepare a special potion for you, and I will ensure that you can capture Monica's heart in one fell swoop!"

Also, captured Monica's heart in one fell swoop?

Charles was about to burst into tears, he wanted to die so much, he wanted to die now......

"Charles, how long will you hesitate?" Judy saw that the other party was always wavering, so she ridiculed each other again, "You are one of the best believers of my lord, the future emperor of all mankind, what is this sacrifice now?"

"Think of the great Lord of Light, think of your own future!"

Judy's voice was impassioned, but Charles trembled inwardly when he heard it.

But when he thought of his current situation and a bright future, Charles finally gritted his teeth, turned his heart sideways, and nodded heavily: "Okay!

"Haha, that's right. Judy clapped her hands happily, and the female thief Amanda smiled like an aunt.

Especially the Holy Demon Mentor Andrew, who was sitting on the side, was really relieved.

His disciple is indeed excellent, and now that his disciple is out of the field, he, as a mentor, naturally does not have to face Monica, the female warden.

"In that case, let me talk about the plan first!"

Judy was in high spirits and began to talk about the plans she was working on on the spot.

It's just that after a meeting, Charles sat in place as if he had lost his soul.

Anyway, no matter how this plan ends, he, Charles, is finished.

......

Located in the inner city of the imperial capital, the Inquisition exists not only for the purpose of investigation, trial, imprisonment, and punishment of all heretics and criminals, but also as a deterrent.

It was like a vicious serpent, with its head held high, looking down on all the people of the imperial capital and the entire empire, and it warned the world that anyone who interfered with the rebellion against the Protestant rights would be devoured by it without mercy.

When you enter the Inquisition, you will immediately feel the bloody and oppressive cruelty within.

As the floor descends, the more prisoners are held in the lower prisons, the greater the responsibility for the crimes they commit, and the more cruel the punishment and torture they receive.

Especially the moment you enter the prison area, the screams of the prisoners come and go, and the cruel and bloody scenes can be seen everywhere, and the terrifying scene is like coming to purgatory on earth, which is terrifying.

However, once you reach the bottom of the Inquisition, all the sounds disappear in an instant.

That's right, at the bottom of the Inquisition is a small secondary space embedded here, and it is also the most mysterious and secret core prison of the Inquisition.

On this day, the Protestant Pope, who was recognized as the state religion by Emperor Carlos, was slowly walking into it wearing a pure white robe and a metal mask.

The space of the core cell of the Inquisition is not large, only about 1,000 square meters, similar to a large prison, but because it is a small sub-space, the place that should be the wall of the prison has become a kind of spatial barrier that radiates a kind of radiant light.

The spatial barrier seems to be as light as nothing, but in fact it is impregnable, and no one can enter or exit it except for the only entrance.

Other than that, the rest of the place is not much different from the prison outside. Stained floors, blood-stained torture instruments, burnt red-hot irons...... And so on, it's all there.

At the end of the prison, in particular, three huge crosses were erected, and three men were nailed to them. The one in the middle was a white-haired old man who was tortured and did not look like a human form.

"Nassader, how long are you going to be stubborn?"

The Pope, who had stepped into the prison, walked straight to the front of the cross, his eyes full of urgency and anger through the metal mask on his face.

It turned out that the old man who was nailed alive in front of him, his hands, shoulders, and feet, was none other than St. John Nassader, the true pope of the Holy See of Light.

It's just that the current Nassard, how does he look like an ordinary old man?

He was naked, and his body was covered with scars from the old and the new. The cheeks are sunken, and the aging skin is filled with deep furrows. The wounds on his hands, feet, and shoulders had clotted with blood, piercing the spikes of his body, as if they had grown with his body. Such a terrible state, it looks like it has been maintained for a long time.

To his left and right, there are also two former archbishops.

They were Archbishop James and Archbishop Edward.

Perhaps because their own strength was one level worse than that of Pope Nassard, James and Edward, who were tortured, were obviously weaker than Nassard, and they almost didn't have the strength to speak at this time, and they were hanging with only one breath.

As for their companions, who were imprisoned here together, they have long since been reduced to rotting corpses and rotten bones at their feet.

"Huh. ”

At this moment, a weak mockery was heard.

The old and frail Nassardr slowly raised his eyes, those old eyes have long been cloudy, but there is still a light that people dare not look at directly, still flickering firmly, "Ignaz, in my name, you fool the empire and deceive the people, and you will be severely punished by my lord!"

"My lord's severe punishment? haha, joke!"

The false Pope Ignaz looked up and sneered, and then said with a fierce gaze, "The bright old dog is already dead!

"As early as two years ago, the moment the Fall of God appeared, our last connection with Him had been completely severed, His last consciousness had completely dissolved, and there was no God in this world for a long time!"

Ignatz's expression became more and more excited, "Maybe his final demise is also due to this Pope!"

As early as more than 100 years ago, rumors began to circulate that the God of Light had died. In the decades that followed, there were no more miracles, and the influence of the Holy See began to weaken more and more, and a large number of people began to leave the faith. On the contrary, other suppressed pagan religions, as well as kingdom princes and other forces, began to rise one after another, and rumors of the demise of the God of Light had almost been confirmed at this moment.

So, Ignaz, who had just become the Imperial Cardinal at that time, began to explode with ambition.

He plotted his own plans, and eventually, together with his cronies, secretly murdered Pope Nazar and imprisoned him in secret at the bottom of the Inquisition.

From then on, he controlled the religion of the empire as Pope Nassader. And by clever tactics, he united with Emperor Carlos to jointly promote a campaign to abolish the old papacy and establish a new religion.

This persecution campaign to ban the old papacy that has swept the entire continent has lasted for twenty years now!

All the key members of the Old Bright Church, as well as their core believers, were arrested and persecuted, and the Inquisition Centers set up by the Imperial Protestants were overcrowded for a time.

Those members and believers of the old Church, who were weak by nature and did not have a firm faith, changed their banners and joined the Protestant camp.

Since then, the remnants of the faith of the Old Holy See of Light have been completely destroyed through the hands of Ignaz and Emperor Carlos!

Ignaz did this, not only to destroy the old papacy and establish a self-centered Protestantism, but also to completely kill the suspected remnants of the God of Light!

As a core member of the old Holy See, he knew very well that the power of the gods came from people's beliefs, and as long as the channel of these beliefs was cut off, it would be tantamount to cutting off the vitality of the gods.

Ignaz did it boldly, and he was delighted to find that he succeeded in the end!

He and the old Pope Nasadr were both core members of the old papal see, and had a clear faith connection with the old god of light.

But just two years ago, he and the old Pope Nassassr clearly felt that the divine consciousness that had a weak connection with them was completely severed.

That day was undoubtedly the day of the true fall of the gods.

Once the last remaining consciousness of the gods dissipates, it means that the gods are truly dead, completely annihilated and disappeared from this world!

Without the gods, Ignaz no longer had any scruples, and his monstrous ambitions and decades-long layout reached their final stage.

"Bastard, bastard!" Nasader was dumbfounded, trembling with hatred, "blasphemy, subverting the dynasty, fooling the people...... You are an unforgivable sin!"

"The sin is unforgivable? Hehehe, why do you say that my sin is unforgivable? For the sake of the empire, for the sake of the people of the world, this pope must do this, otherwise how can we human beings ensure that the supremacy is not shaken?"

The puppet Pope Ignaz looked at him fiercely, and laughed wildly, "Hehe, what's more, who in this world can condemn me?

"Shut up!" the old Pope Nazar rebuked angrily, "Bright Lord, there is no blasphemy! cough! cough ......"

A few words of reprimand, as if using up the strength of the old Pope Nassader, had already overdrawn his broken body, making him cough incessantly, and the severe pain distorted his face.

"Hmph, Nassader, for the sake of you being my predecessor, I can give you one last chance. ”

Pseudo-Pope Ignaz snorted coldly, his gaze fell coldly on the old Pope's face through the metal mask, "Hand over the artifact and help me become a god, I may be able to give you a way to live!"

Speaking of that artifact, Old Pope Nazard's face suddenly changed.

The artifact Holy Light Scepter is the Divine Staff held in his hand at the moment when the God of Light lit the divine fire and transformed into a god.

After that, the God of Light opened up the kingdom of God and officially ascended to the divine realm, and this scepter was left by him in the plane of light, as a symbol of his faith, and was kept by the Pope for generations.

It is rumored that this scepter possesses supreme power, greatly enhancing the user's abilities.

Now the pseudo-Pope Ignaz has reached the bottleneck of the level 9 demigod realm, and he is only one step away from truly igniting the divine fire and stepping into the divine realm. With the help of the Scepter, his chances of stepping into the level 10 God Realm would undoubtedly increase significantly.

Therefore, the absence of the assistance of the scepter is particularly crucial for Ignaz, which is the main reason why he has kept the old Pope and his two backbone archbishops to this day.

"Think, want an artifact?heh, you're dreaming!" Old Pope Nasadr lowered his face and snorted weakly, "You, you are a despicable person who is greedy for power and power, I, even if I die, I will never let you succeed!"

"I don't know if I'm alive or dead!"

The Puppet Pope Ignaz's teeth of indignation clenched, and his eyes filled with anger seemed to erupt into flames.

In the face of this kind of old stubbornness with firm beliefs, any means of torture and temptation have no effect, otherwise he would have gotten the artifact in his hands for so many years.

It took a long time for Ignaz to swallow his anger. Sui Er smiled gloomily, looked at the old Pope in front of him again, and said in a tone full of coldness: "Nassader, old thing, your bones are indeed hard enough, but I don't know if your delicate good granddaughter can withstand the torture here like you!"

Hearing the word granddaughter, the old pope, who was ready to die calmly, suddenly shrank his eyes.

If there is anything in this world that he can't let go, it's only his own granddaughter who was brought up by him since childhood, Catherina.

"That good granddaughter of yours has now become a pseudo-papal saint who has recently been active on the border, tsk, this is really a little surprising to this pope. ”

Ignaz looked at the old pope with interest through the metal mask, "Old fellow, you quietly ordered someone to send your granddaughter out of the borders of the empire, did you want to survive in desperation one day?" ”

"What do you mean? Catherina is innocent, she, she doesn't know anything!" the old Pope's cloudy old eyes were full of worry.

When he realized that something was wrong, everything was irreparable, and in the chaos, he had to arrange for his cronies to send his granddaughter, who was still young and knew nothing, out of the borders of the empire. At the same time, he did not hesitate to consume his life and cast the Great Prophecy Technique, just to help them leave safely.

As for his granddaughter, she actually re-established the extinct Bright Sect, which was completely beyond his expectations.

His original intention was just to hope that his precious granddaughter could grow up safely and live in peace. Unexpectedly, the pseudo-Pope Ignaz had noticed her, which meant that disaster had come!

"What do you mean? Hehe, the false saint Catherina established a false religion, fooled the people, fanned the riots, and the crime is unforgivable!"

Pseudo-Pope Ignaz said, his eyes burst out with fierce light, and the terrifying power immediately erupted layer by layer, "This Pope will immediately obey the will of heaven and personally send troops to conscript!"

"All those associated with the Pseudo-Holy See, whether nobles or paupers, will be subjected to the most brutal repression!"

"But don't worry, your precious granddaughter, I will bring it to you myself. At this point, the pseudo-pope Ignaz's expression became more and more distorted and cruel, "I will erect a brand new cross in front of you, and then peel her off layer by layer......"

The more Ignaz spoke, the creepi the old Pope Nasadr became.

The old Pope knew very well that the cold-blooded and cruel Ignaz was definitely not joking! And with his terrifying strength, he was completely able to do it! He didn't even need a large army, and with his terrifying ability to become a god, he could easily capture Catherina.

This is the main reason why Ignaz does not take the recent papal rebellion on the borders of the empire seriously.

Because as long as he personally goes out, the emerging Holy See headed by the Holy Maiden Catherina will be easily suppressed and disintegrated, but just by doing so, he ignites the divine fire and the process of being promoted to a god will also be slowed down.

"No, Ignaz, you can't do that, she's innocent, it's none of her business!"

"If you dare to touch a finger of her, I will never spare you!"

Pain and panic filled the chest of the old Pope Nazard, he gritted his teeth in anger and tried to raise his head, but his strength had long been exhausted, and even his life was about to end, and he couldn't raise any strength in his body.

On the crucifixion that crucified him, he couldn't even lift a finger.

The only thing that could be done at the moment was to watch the pseudo-pope's indifferent and mocking gaze, and the decisive back of the other party to turn away.

"No!"
