Act 408 The Judgment of the Divine Favor
The so-called Divine Judgment refers to an ancient ritual that has been passed down in the Holy See for eternity. It allows you to challenge the current bishop and replace him if he wins. This bishop can be anyone other than the Pope, including Gloria, the Blood Priest.
Traditionally, the Divine Judgment is the main means of bishop change within the Holy See, and any believer who feels that he has the strength to become a bishop can challenge him, and the victor will be given the bishop in the presence of the Grim Reaper, Hargrian.
But this tradition has not been practiced for a long time, because since the Blood Priest Gloria took sole control of the Holy See, the appointment of high-level bishops has always been decided by her word, and there is no possibility of initiating a divine judgment.
Someone once launched the Divine Judgment in the early days of the reign of Gloria, the Blood Priest, and succeeded in obtaining the bishopric position, but was sent to the front the next day, and then the news of his death soon came.
As for how exactly he died, no one can say for sure.
In short, no one in the Holy See has ever mentioned the matter of the Divine Judgment since, and everything has been in the hands of Gloria, the Blood Priest.
"God's Favor!? You're planning to launch a divine judgment in front of me!? Are you the undead who is the master of this place!? ”
Gloria, the Blood Priest, seemed to have heard some biggest joke.
Dritan sneered, "Of course, the master here is the True God! How? Is it true that our Blood Priest Gloria intends to claim to be her master here? ”
"Humph! I don't dare to bear such a serious crime, whatever you want to do, you can do whatever you want! ”
Blood Priest Gloria's face became extremely gloomy.
Dritan the Abyssal is not a stupid person, on the contrary, this guy is like a poisonous snake hiding in the shadows that may launch a fatal blow at any time, if he is not quite sure, he probably won't take the initiative to come to the door!
What the hell does this guy Dritan want to do!? ”
The Abyssal Dritan's proud blood-rushing priest Gloria raised her chin: "What? Why is the Blood Priest still standing in my way, and are you trying to prevent me from exercising my divine authority as a Hagarian follower? ”
Blood God Officer Gloria sneered and made way for her: "How dare you, since Lord Dritan plans to launch the Divine Judgment, he must be fully prepared, so let me enjoy your performance!" ”
Dritan smiled slightly, rode his horse to the foot of the cathedral, slowly ascended the steps, stood in front of the huge statue of the god of death, and knelt respectfully.
Blood Priest Gloria looked at Dritan's performance with cold eyes, she was surprised, but she wasn't too worried, because this was his home field, and Dritan's chance of winning the Divine Judgment was almost zero!
Although she didn't know what Dritan's idea was, at least she couldn't lose in the Divine Judgment, and as for the rest, it was a matter of taking one step at a time, and sooner or later that hateful guy would show his fangs, and that was the real time for battle.
However, Gloria, the Blood Priest, guessed wrong.
Dritan shouted to the idol: "Supreme God, please listen to your believers, I, Dritan hereby apply for the judgment of the gods, and I am willing to be a scapegoat!" ”
"What!?"
Blood Priest Gloria cried out in surprise, she originally thought that she was going to have a divine judgment with Dritan, but the other party actually applied to be a scapegoat!?
If the Divine Judgment fails, you will be punished!
Opening the Divine Favor Judgment and not winning is a deception of the true God, and as a punishment for deceiving the true God, the punishment will come directly from the divine power of the god of death, Hargrian, is a very painful blow that hits the soul!
Moreover, this punishment can reduce the strength of the person who is hit!!
The so-called scapegoat means that there is someone else who is really fighting against her blood priest Gloria, but if that person fails, there is no need to bear any consequences, and all the consequences of defeat will be borne by Dritan as the scapegoat, but if the challenger wins, then the scapegoat will not do any good.
The selection conditions for a scapegoat are very harsh, and unless they are absolutely voluntary and have sufficient strength, they cannot be served, so there are not many times in the entire history of the Eternal Holy Religion.
"Humph! Dritan! I'm not afraid even if you're on it yourself, but I didn't expect you to want to push someone else!? Well, let me see who it really is! ”
At this moment, Fredson, who was standing next to the church and was in charge of logistics, stood up and said loudly in front of the idol: "Supreme God, please listen to your believers, I, Fredson, am here to apply for the judgment of the gods, and I am willing to be the one who challenges me!" ”
"Fredson!? How dare you betray me!! ”
The enraged Blood Priest Gloria's entire face contorted, and she raised her hand to shoot a bloody arrow at Friedson, only to be stopped by Dritan.
"Gloria, thank me, the Divine Judgment has been established, if your blood arrow hit Fredson just now, then now you will accept the divine punishment!"
The anger of the Blood Priest Gloria was difficult to calm down, and even the humanoid body was difficult to maintain, gradually revealing her fangs and sharp teeth, turning into a half-human, half-demon form, her eyes glowing with a red light that she had chosen to devour.
"Good! Very good! Dritan, Fredson, I want to see how you can defeat me in the Judgment of God! ”
If she fights with the Abyssal Dritan in a head-to-head fight with the Blood God Officer Gloria, it will be a bit of a headache, her biggest ability is that she can be resurrected indefinitely, there are many people who can defeat her, but there is no one who can really kill her, so even if she defeats her, she has to worry about endless revenge later, which is why no one in the entire Eternal Holy Sect is willing to be her enemy.
But it was almost impossible to defeat Dritan, her tricks were difficult to win the other party, and of course, the other party could not really kill her.
Fortunately, the judgment of God's favor is not a competition of combat effectiveness, but a comparison of the piety of the true God and the degree of favor of the true God! Even if the strength is weaker, as long as you can get more gods, you can still win!
After all, the strength of the priest is mainly from the gift of the true god.
The crowd in the square quickly flashed into a clearing, and the three of them, Gloria the Blood Priest, Dritan the Abyssal, and Fredson, stood at either end of the clearing, waiting for the Divine Judgment to begin.
When the dark clouds in the sky gradually thickened, and a faint black mist appeared on everyone in the square, the divine judgment began.
