Clement floated in the darkness outside the cavern, looking at the situation inside with a blank face, whether it was the strange pattern, or the strong hatred, hatred, and despair, all of which had dissipated, and if it weren't for the little remnant of the transcendent aura still there, no one would have guessed that a small magical ritual had ever been held here, and even then, no one could have deduced from the residual transcendent aura the specific content of the small magical ritual and whether it was part of a larger ritual.

After an hour, this transcendent aura will also dissolve in nature, and everything that happened will be completely wiped out in the long river of history.

Clement used prophetic magic such as "Prayer Magic" to try to obtain "revelations from the gods", but there was nothing but those he had known for a long time.

"The strength of the other party is at least no worse than mine, and he has made full preparations in advance, so I can't predict the real situation, and even the 'Lord of Hell' can......'t do it" Clement frowned slightly, if the "Lord of Hell" was here for the first time, then he would definitely be able to "predict" the truth, but he was in the distant endless ocean, in the ninth layer of hell that was even more "distant", and he only noticed it because he sensed the power of abnormally strong emotions, and he had missed the opportunity.

Clement interrupted the prophetic magic and analyzed the possible objects on his own: "The strength is not worse than mine...... From this point of view alone, there are not many suspicious people in Fort St. Ivan, unless there are other outsiders, but then it would not be possible to make such adequate preparations in Fort St. Ivan, which is the most heavily controlled by us...... By the way, the power of negative emotions requires a 'container' that is at most one order lower. I've got to see who's missing......"

Now that the other party had completed the state transformation, Clement was not too anxious, and went to the cathedrals overnight to determine the life and death of the Holy Spirit Priest and the Holy Knight, but waited patiently until the early morning, and visited the members of the Cardinal Conference separately under the pretext of communicating the current turbulent situation.

"Your opinion is important, I will consider it......" Outside the Basilica of St. Felix, Clement politely said goodbye to another saint who had inherited the power of power, his heart full of doubts.

None of the Seven Saints, including himself, went missing. Not inside several cathedrals of Fort St. Ivan. It was in the key area of his own town - after contacting through the sound transmission magic array, he confirmed it with prophetic divine magic, and most of the rest of the Holy Spirit Priests, Holy Knights and Epic Knights of the Empire were like this, and only two or three people who were out on secret missions could not be contacted for a while. But there is no indication that they have fallen.

So. There are no more "containers". Could it be that the one who has completed the state transformation is the one who has hunted down other powerful legends or the powerhouse who is living in seclusion alone? Clement felt that this matter was a little strange more and more, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he had unknowingly walked outside the Cathedral of St. Ivan.

It can't be a "container" for His Majesty the Pope, right? Normal people shouldn't be so bold, but maybe it's a madman?

With this in mind, Clement entered the Cathedral of St. Ivan and asked to see Pope Berkovsky.

A few minutes later, he saw a bear-like Berkovsky in his study, still with a loud voice, pale yellow eyes and a "tall" nose.

"Clement, you seem to have some ideas?" Berkovsky hinted that he was already aware of Clement's frequent visits and contacts with members of the Cardinal Order, the Epic Knights of the Empire and its dependent states.

Clement was shocked, he was still a little too anxious, it should have been done in a few days, if it weren't for the fact that last night's incident benefited from the "Lord of Hell's"'s deep sense of the power of ancient demons and emotions, and even the state changer himself didn't know that the matter had been leaked, and his actions today might have exposed something.

So, he said with sincere fear: "The monsters of the Dark Council have encroached on several small countries in the northern foothills of the Dark Mountain Range and threatened the Church of Mother Earth God, I am worried that Mother Earth God will throw herself on them and want to secretly obstruct this happening, so I exchanged views with the cardinals and the Epic Knights, hoping to reach an agreement as much as possible before making recommendations." ”

"If there is anything in the future, you should communicate with me first. Berkovsky didn't say much, because this is the Northern Church, unlike the Southern Church, where the Pope has absolute authority and decision-making power, and this large-scale exchange in private is seen as an act of blasphemy against the "earthly spokesman of the Lord" and a sign of intent to divide the Church.

In the Northern Church, power belongs to the entire College of Cardinals, and the Pope only has more convening power than the saints, and with the deterrence of strength, the voice and decision power are stronger than others.

Of course, no saint would normally challenge the authority of the Pope in such a way.

Clement breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully, "I'm here to ask you. ”

After communicating the current situation, Clement returned to the Cathedral of San Gonor, looking for what he had missed, but unfortunately due to the influence of his mindset, he couldn't understand what the mysterious state changer used as a "container", after all, there are so many legendary powerhouses!

Thinking about it, he thought of himself again: "I still lack a few special materials for refining the container, should I borrow a little from the 'Lord of Hell'...... No, he didn't know that I didn't use the method of negative emotions, but relied on the Book of Virtues...... Hey, it would be nice if Saint Gono's corpse could be used, the divine body, the strength accumulated over hundreds of years, is enough for me to approach the peak of the legend and break through in a short time, corpses, corpses of saints!"

Clement suddenly thought of a possibility, his heart was surprised and shocked, his facial muscles were faintly distorted, could it really be one of them?

He knelt on the spot, drawing a cross on his chest, short and long, his eyes closed, and the divine light behind him emerged, condensing into a ball of light and gradually conjuring up an angel of light with golden eyes, and then the silence, cold, monotonous black, white, and gray permeated the surroundings.

Necromantic Realm, Necromantic Temple, Holy Spirit Chamber.

The five black iron coffins were placed there quietly, and there was a ball of divine light above or in front of each of them, which was unpredictable and difficult to touch, suddenly. The ball of divine light above one of the coffins seemed to have been flown into by something, and quickly grew larger, turning into an angel of light with golden eyes and six wings on its back.

Clement's consciousness was attached to the radiance of divinity, and he looked at the quiet chamber of the Holy Spirit, which was as quiet as a tomb, and felt a smell of the vicissitudes of time.

"Who could it be?" Clement looked at the other four coffins, and hesitated in his heart, if he opened it wrongly, then the corresponding saint would definitely sense it, and then it would be difficult for him to explain why he did this, although he would not be besieged. But in the future, he will definitely be excluded from the inner circle by the Pope and the saints as careerists.

He casts prophetic magic. I hope to give myself a hint, but the predicted outcome is varied, including any coffin.

Shaking his head, Clement remembered that there was a "Lord of Hell" standing behind him. So I made up my mind. Get ready to check out who you suspect the most!

He went to the front. Standing in front of the coffin of St. Ivan, which was standing upright, the wings of the six angels behind him flapped slightly, and the right hand was stretched out. Slowly pushed open the lid of the coffin.

The stillness of the Spirit Chamber was broken by a squeak, hoarse grinding sound, and the coffin behind the lid was empty, with only an iron-black glow of icy sheen.

Clement's golden eyes froze suddenly, as if they were happy and angry, and they were really empty!

Gone is St. Ivan, who had rebelled from the holy city of Reims and established himself as the Church of the North!

"Sure enough, it's Berkovsky, he has completed the state transformation!" Clement could not restrain his anger, angry that Berkovsky had betrayed the "ideal", and angry that he had not done it so easily.

At this time, he clearly knew what the Dao was for Pope Viken when he secretly announced the god-like law, he did not consider the saints of the northern church in order to sow discord, because he must have understood that there are several saints' divine bodies and the amount of power accumulated from generation to generation, and the state transformation only needs to collect the power of emotions, which is relatively simple, plus the power of faith controlled and stolen by the northern church, and the accumulated divine brilliance, the preparations that need to be made for the god-like path have long been perfected, which is enough to support the "resources" that a god-like needs to do.

"If it weren't for the fact that this path involves an understanding of divinity and faith, the failure could be great, and it would have taken a long time to grasp, and Berkovsky might have been trying to make ......an impact," Clement thought angrily and enviously, he was still far from even a state transformation, but he didn't know that Berkovsky still lacked the secret of combining the two to impact the gods.

Suddenly, he frowned: "Berkovsky collects emotional power in St. Ivanburg, even if it is hidden, it can't hide it from everyone, I don't know that it is normal for the Dao to be clear, but it seems strange if no saint notices it, does he have a special method?"

Thinking about it, he suddenly thought of a terrible conclusion, and without any scruples, he turned around and opened another coffin.

With a creaking and grinding sound, the lid of the coffin struck, revealing the hollow interior, and Felix's divine body was gone!

A coffin opened, and the divine bodies of Uriel and Alexei disappeared as well!

Berkovsky was not alone in completing the state transition!

"It's just me who doesn't know ......," Clement laughed angrily, it turned out that he had long been excluded from the inner circle.

After packing up the Holy Spirit Chamber, his consciousness returned to the Cathedral of San Gonor, where he contacted the "Lord of Hell" Mardimos.

"Berkovsky and the other three saints all completed the state transformation with the body of divinity as a 'vessel'...... Where did they get the negativity and the mysteries of the ancient devil?Viken would never divulge it to them, and the other legendary powerhouses who had mastered this secret would definitely want to keep ......the numbers under control," Mardimos muttered.

He once had such a plan, revealing this secret to Berkovsky and others at a critical moment to stir up the situation, but after He successfully came, he had no such plan.

Before Clement guessed, the "Lord of Hell" Mardimos suddenly laughed sarcastically: "I'm afraid it's those people from the Magic Council, they only have negative emotions and the mysteries of the ancient devils, and they need you to master the methods of stealing and using the power of faith, which is just mutually beneficial, hum, Douglas, Lucian Evans, what else do you want to stick to the path of the arcane......"

"What now?" Clement mused.

Mardimos laughed, "Spread the news, especially Viken." ”

............

A few days later, the holy city of Reims.

Pope Benedict III looked at the information in front of him, his face was uneasy, and he gritted his teeth a little and said: "Lucien, Evans......" (to be continued......
