Chapter 850: The Last Madness
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life......
A clear, loud, and neutral voice came from far and near, and by the time the last sentence came out, many figures had already arrived in front of them.
It was a group of middle-aged men and women with delicate and handsome faces, all dressed in high-grade white light armor, covered with white robes, and decorated with gorgeous golden veins! Circles of white light and shadow surrounded them, matching their graceful and holy expressions, like angels descending into the world.
Nearly 10,000 silver-white heavy warships slowly descended from the sky, and then suspended in the air hundreds of meters above the ground, all the main gun muzzles were aligned at the improvised landing field on the ground.
Luo Hanxing didn't speak, just looked at the other party coldly.
A dignified, middle-aged man with blond hair stepped forward and spoke in an aria-like voice:
"Under the throne of the great Pope Innocent VI Cardinal Archbishop Heydris! O lost lamb! Are you willing to repent of your sins and be redeemed? ”
"Sure enough, it's you gods!" Luo Hanxing smiled disdainfully and asked:
"Are you on your own, or are you going to be a thug for any force? That old ghost of Innocent VI has been idle in the imperial capital for so long, and he can't imagine that he hasn't died yet! However, your territory is still occupied by the Gnaslok Empire, and now that the time is good, why don't you think about recovering the country, but you can't get along with me? ”
Hedris said gently: "Your Excellency, the unification of the Star Sea World is the will of the great gods!" As God's people, we certainly don't dare to disobey in the slightest! Both the Gnaslok Empire and the Shalestins Alliance will eventually be bathed in the light of the gods, ruled by the God-favored children of destiny! ”
"Child of Destiny?" Luo Hanxing sneered slightly, "Which one is it?" Isn't that old ghost? He's really good at putting gold on his face! ”
Heydris was extremely well-cultivated, and did not care at all, and continued to be polite:
"His Majesty the Pope is the supreme spokesman of the gods in the world, but it is difficult for him to take on such a heavy responsibility, it is the gods who guide him to lead us to find the true child of destiny and help him unify the entire sea of stars! He's Randall. Patrick, blessed by the gods! ”
Luo Hanxing sighed: "Sure enough, this damn guy, he is really good at calculating, with you guys whitewashing and touting him, it should be a lot easier to buy people's hearts!" I just don't know, what conditions did he make to make you guys who are above the top and claim to be the spokesmen of the gods to work for him? ”
A touch of fanaticism flashed in Hedris's eyes: "The Great Son of Destiny personally promised that after the unification of the Star Sea in the future, the Urmuslon Divine Cult will be the state religion of the Holy Starlight Empire, and tens of thousands of star fields and tens of trillions of people will become devout followers of the gods!" This is the glory of the gods and our most devout devotion to the great gods! ”
"In the future, every generation of emperors of the Holy Starlight Empire ascends the throne, and the Pope will personally crown and bless and preside over the ceremony, so that it can have legitimacy! The theocracy and the secular imperial power are officially separated and do not belong to each other! ”
Luo Hanxing laughed wildly: "This guy is really generous enough, in order to win over you group of gods who have died in the country, he is willing to offer such an outrageous price!" It's tantamount to giving up half of the country to you, do you think it's possible to fulfill such a ridiculous promise after he sits on the throne? ”
"As long as he still wants to sit on the throne, he will definitely not be able to do without our support!" "So we're not worried that he'll go back!" And don't you think that with the Starlight Empire of faith, it will be more convenient to rule? Yun Haoyu didn't understand this truth before, so he had what happened today, this is the punishment of the great gods for him, no matter how great the monarch is, he must also throw himself into the arms of the gods, and the glory of the dynasty can be passed on for thousands of years! ”
Luo Hanxing thought about it for a while, and then understood what he meant, Randall was not in the right position, even if he could really win in the end, it must be at the cost of large-scale killing, the impact was too bad, and his reputation was not much worse than that of Zhu Zhaoyuan at the beginning!
Therefore, the shrewd foreign secretary came up with a self-righteous way to brainwash the hundreds of millions of citizens of the empire with religion, and let these gods concoct the absurdity of the children of destiny, and do everything they can to whitewash the sanctity and legitimacy of their rule!
Moreover, controlling the trillions of people in the empire with faith can also make your rule last as long as possible! From ancient times to the present, this kind of policy of fooling the people has been a tried and tested method.
As early as the beginning of the Guishun Empire, Innocent VI made a proposal to Yun Haoyu to obtain the power to preach in the entire Starlight Empire, on the grounds that the empire had not been established for a long time, the foundation was shallow, and the people's hearts were unstable! Only by relying on religious means can we quickly gather people's hearts and consolidate their rule!
Such a proposal was naturally rejected by Yun Haoyu, he didn't want to create a new privileged class out of thin air because of his words! Moreover, when a king's rule is such that it needs to be maintained by a group of gods, it is better for him to perish!
"That guy's idea is good, but it's hard to say whether it can make a dream come true now!" Luo Hanxing said indifferently, "You guys just ran for him, there have been a lot of officials who have been bribed and coerced these days, right?" Of course, the loss will not be less, I don't know if I will be able to hold on to the day when I will receive the return in the future! ”
Heydris smiled: "This doesn't bother you to worry at all, the foundation of a superpower will not be too thin!" We gave all the resources we had left to the Empire, which is actually only a small part of the total, and we have enough human and material resources to continue to spread the faith to the great gods! ”
"Now, I ask you only one thing, Your Excellency Marshal, will you throw yourself into the arms of the gods, and henceforth be an honorable member among us?"
Luo Hanxing asked casually, "It's you, not Randall?" ”
An inexplicable glint flashed in the cardinal's eyes: "Randall is blessed by the gods, and of course he is one of us!" As for you, if you can convert to the faith of God, then you will be given a status no less than mine! ”
Sure enough, that old ghost is also not a good thing, and he is secretly calculating the layout! Luo Hanxing just sneered in his heart, but said on his lips:
"Okay, what do you need me to do?"
Hedris never thought that he would agree so readily, and was slightly stunned for a moment before saying: "This is very simple, you just need to make a public statement and declare your support for Randall!" Of course, all the secret power in your hands, must be at the service of our Holy See! Hear from us on how to do it......"
"Well...... Do it! Out of the corner of Luo Hanxing's eyes, he caught a glimpse of the signal sent by his subordinates in the distance, and suddenly broke off, and more than ten red swords suddenly appeared, strangling at the gods on the opposite side! Immediately after that, a dense "buzzing" sound sounded, and hundreds of blue arrows of light poured down like a violent wind and rain!
The cardinal archbishop didn't expect him to turn his face when he said it, and in a hurry, he only had time to activate a pale golden energy shield, and it collapsed under the dense light bolt in less than three breaths!
"Damn heretic......" He only had time to shout a sentence before he was chopped into seven or eight pieces by Luo Hanxing!
The remaining group of gods finally reacted and rushed over to besiege them like crazy, and the battleship group in the distance learned of the situation here, and immediately began to use artillery fire to cover the landing field below!
A moment later, almost half of the entire icy planet's vicinity near the equator was melted away by the high temperature and heat derived from the continuous artillery fire! Almost none of the remaining Imperial officers and soldiers were spared.
……
Inside the coffin.
On the endless desolate plains, the once fearless legions of death have retreated like a tide, silently regrouping and arraying in the distance, far away surrounding the mountain in the center made of countless corpses and flesh piles!
At the top of the peak, the silver-blue starlight had dimmed to the extreme, and only a faint circle of light and shadow remained, and the human face inside was clearly visible.
The wave of attacks that had just ended had added more than thirty wounds to Yun Haoyu's body, and a few blades full of jagged teeth and barbs remained in his body, and the remaining dark energy on the blades was extremely corrosive, bringing him a sharp pain like lava scorching, almost making him faint!
"At this point, it's time to finish!"
He looked into the distance, and a powerful thought came to him, and it was because of its orders that the legions that were constantly attacking would retreat tamely, allowing him to breathe a little.
Gritting his teeth, he pulled out the blades that had pierced into his body one by one, and there was still a trace of flesh and blood on the snowy blade, and circles of cyan brilliance circulated on the surface of his body, repairing his wounds quickly.
In the distance, a black figure quietly appeared, and then walked over without hurrying.
It was dressed in a heavy black robe, without any superfluous decorations on it, and its body shape was exactly the same as Yun Haoyu's, but its facial features were replaced by a cloud of blood-colored clouds that were constantly tumbling and rushing, which looked creepy, and made people involuntarily feel a chill in their hearts.
Yun Haoyu's face became more and more solemn, he clenched the halberd in his hand, and stared at the other party calmly.
The aura exuded by this guy is unfathomable, but it is mysterious and inexplicable, more than a step stronger than Ruolan, and he is really the most terrifying opponent he has ever seen in his life!
Yun Ruoxuan in his body was silent, and seemed to have no idea.
"Perhaps...... Will you die here today? ”
He groaned for a moment, feeling the energy in his body quickly recover, and took out all the remaining phantom war puppets in his hand.
Even if it really falls, you have to fight like a man!
