Roar.

Looking up, the angels saw the clouds rolling in the sky, and lightning staggered and roared in the middle. Stubbornly as if he wanted to light up the whole world.

And the earth trembled.

Countless birds were startled and chirped.

"This force is ......"

Soon, all eyes were on Gray.

Vivien shuddered, slowly letting go of the hand holding Gray, her eyes wide.

Gray lay down, reaching out, groping, gripping the hilt of the broken sword that had fallen to the side.

The soul fire in his eye socket was burning, and the shattered bones in his body were healing again at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Gray braced himself on the ground and slowly stood up.

"What happened? Why is the source of the demonic power we perceive in him!" an angel exclaimed.

Having already left some distance, Abbot paused, looking back in horror into the distance.

The clouds in the sky are converging.

The forces on the ground are also converging towards Gray. The forces of light and darkness existed simultaneously in his body, fighting, fighting, and roaring at each other.

Countless voices roared in his ears, wailing in pain.

Gray was trembling slightly.

Pain is coming from all directions. The lich didn't feel pain, but this time, Gray really felt it. It was a torn pain from the depths of the soul.

Gray gritted his teeth tightly, bearing it.

Everyone was staring blankly.

Gradually, all the power surged towards the bone ring, whether it was the power of light or the power of darkness, and finally turned into a dark gray color.

Gray's strength finally stabilized, and the intense pain gradually became paralyzing.

It was a powerful aura visible to the naked eye, not the power of the lich at the beginning, not the whiteness after transforming into a saint, nor the pure black given by the demon lord. It's a dull gray, new power. Wrap tightly around him.

One of the angels swallowed dryly and stepped back a little.

Gray held the sword in his hand, and with a flick of it, the broken part grew back. It gathers like the wind, gushes like water, and grows like a plant. Struggled in Gray's hands, twisted, and ignited a raging gray flame, growing new totems and generating new dark lines.

"What's going on!" exclaimed the black cat.

At the same time, the torn armor on the body began to grow naturally, as if it had acquired its own will, and repaired itself like a physical body. Then, it grew into a different appearance, from the original white color, condensed into dark gray.

"He, he's received the power of the Demon Lord?" an angel whispered.

A bolt of lightning slashed down from the sky, hitting Gray. The turf was set on fire all around, and then quickly extinguished, leaving only a charred patch. The armor on Gray's body seemed to be given a new life, and the smooth surface was a little more crystalline. Flickering.

One by one, everyone unconsciously retreated, including Belinda and Vivien.

It was suffocating, eerie power.

A sudden wind swept towards Gray in all directions, like a giant beast slowly exhaling. The earth seemed to leap for joy. The mountains let out a low roar.

After a brief upheaval, everything seemed to calm down again, except for the gray flames of Gray's sword that burned sizzlingly.

The voice of the demon lord sounded in everyone's heads: "Hello angels, I am your worst enemy. Let me give you a formal introduction. This is our new chief envoy from Hell, Gray. From this day forward, he is not only your paladin, but also our messenger. Until he is stripped of his status as an emissary, I will support him in all his decisions. And all unjustified attacks on him will risk rising to the level of the covenant between the Holy Spirit and me, which will lead to a new war. So, please be careful. ”

Every angel present watched with wide eyes and stared blankly.

Slowly tilting his head, Gray opened his jaw, and a cloudy, gray breath spat out of his mouth and spilled down the gaps in his armor. A long arc opened in the breeze and swung into the distance.

Looking at Belinda, in the stunned eyes of everyone, Gray said softly: "Since you think that power can decide everything, then, now, let's talk about justice again. ”

Vivien sat slumped, staring blankly at Gray in front of her.

At this moment, that body seemed to hold up the heavens and the earth.

......

"Look what you've done?" a voice in the light roared, "You've pushed your own saints to the opposite side with your own hands! I'm the only one who voted for it! I'm the only one! Abstain from abstaining! Do you think it's your business if you abstain from voting? With a bunch of pig teammates like you, it's no wonder we're always losing!"

"Shame on you guys who shirk their responsibilities!"

"Shut up, too! You're even more hateful, you voted no!"

"I voted against only to show my support for the law, and we can't forgive, so what is the point of our law? Impure justice is not what we seek, and justice determined by one's judgment is not what we seek. ”

"You have to have faith in the Divine Faith, he is a saint, and even if he uses the power of the Demon Lord, he will not fall. We didn't lose him. ”

"Is it useful to say such self-consoling words now? I'm ashamed of you! With just two more votes! Two votes, we can stop this from happening! But you've all chosen to stand by and watch!"

There was silence in the white expanse of holy light, and all the voices were silent.

After a long time, a voice said, "Actually, we knew this would be the result. It is not a question of two more votes, one more vote in favour will result in one more vote against. So we simply deliberately abstained from voting. ”

"'We'? Do you mean you're not the only one who abstained from voting despite knowing the outcome?"

"Yes. ”

......

"What should we do now?"

"He's a paladin and an envoy, has this been the case before?"

"Never. ”

"If we fight him, should it be a civil war or a foreign war? ”

"Oh my God...... What should we do with our own people who use the power of the magic power?"

The angels whispered.

"I don't know what to do with it in the future, and I definitely can't deal with it now. There's no way we're going to beat him, let alone take Vivien. ”

"So we can only let it go, why doesn't the Holy Spirit just forgive Vivien? ”

"Maybe they're trying to embarrass us?"

Gray remained firm behind Vivien, staring at the angels.

Belinda, wearing a mask, was silent.

......

"I'm not alone. The voice said, "But I won't tell you how many there are." We all know that there is a problem with the Holy See, and it is not small. In the past, we felt that it was a problem at the grassroots level of the Holy See, and no matter how much effort it takes, it is impossible to expose human beings who live for less than a hundred years to the true Divine Faith. It is even more unlikely that there will be enough people who have come into contact with the Divine Faith to disperse to all corners of the continent to guard our front. But this time the incident made it clear to us that not only the grassroots of the Holy See have problems, but also the high-level problems, and even the Pope, our paladins, the guardian angels of the paladins, have problems. ”

All the Holy Spirit is quietly listening.

The voice continued, "It's a difficult decision. We are too indulgent and too doting on the Holy See, and even distort our faith for them. At this point, we feel that the entire Holy See should be overturned, and every angel should examine himself. And not just tinkering. I know that it will take a lot of time, and that the faith of the entire continent will be crumbling in this turmoil, and we will suffer from it. But time is the least meaningful thing to us for eternity, isn't it? If we don't, we'll always be where we are, and we'll never be able to go any further. ”

"Whether the Lich Paladin's trial will ultimately succeed, we don't know. But at least for now, there has been a gain. It makes us lose our illusions. This harvest is more meaningful than a brief expansion of faith. He will be used to test ourselves. ”

"You're splitting!" someone rebuked.

"Yes. But there is never a single understanding of the sacred, otherwise why would we have rules of procedure?" the voice replied: "Such a resolution to overthrow the Holy See, if it is proposed here, will certainly not be passed, and will meet with great resistance." There will be countless quarrels, and it is a process that cannot be completed in any way. That's why we've been so hesitant. In that case, why don't we let the devil do it for us, and in the process, they are willing to nurture a saint with a pure faith. It couldn't have been more perfect. The demon lord wants the Holy See on the continent to split into two, in fact, we also want to. The difference is that he wants the Holy See to be divided, and we hope that we will finally be able to come through a storm and become one again, rather than slowly rotting in the aftermath of the current situation. ”

"So what?" asked another voice.

"We will use the tickets we have and all the means at our disposal to push the results to what we want. And not just to express an attitude. The voice replied.

"'You' are going to be like the Lord who gives the Lich Paladin power, intervening directly in matters and not just adjudicating?"

"Yes. ”

"This will lead to confusion of faith!"

"Isn't it chaotic now?"

......

Belinda slowly opened her eyes and whispered, "Gray, you won." Vivien's guilt is still not pardoned, but as long as she's by your side, we'll permanently delay her pursuit due to the circumvention clause in the Heaven-Hell Pact. Fall back. ”

Flapping her wings, she retreated little by little, turned around, and flew into the sky.

One by one, the rest of the angels flapped their wings and followed. Some people are still hesitating, some people don't want to stay here for a moment. Only Abbed, who rushed back, was still watching from afar.

Soon, the mountains and forests returned to their original dark appearance.

Looking at the figures of the angels fading away, Vivien let out a long breath and sat down in prostration.

Turning her face sideways, she looked over to Gray, staring blankly.

"You...... Received the power of the Demon Lord?"

Gray stood quietly, his head down, staring blankly at his hands, watching the gray flame burning on the sword slowly extinguish and turn into a wisp of smoke and dust drifting into the distance.

The thunder subsided, the clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the blue moonlight swayed down again.

Gray looked silently at his sword, at the armor on his body. In the blue moonlight, the gray armor showed a strange luster.

Black Cat and Tenedas watched from the sidelines, dumbfounded.

"Well, although you have not fully grasped the power I have given you, you are now the most powerful person on this continent. Vivien is a gift for you. You can do whatever you want to do whatever you want. Any. I look forward to your performance in the abyss. ”
