The headquarters of the Inquisition consists of a series of ancient buildings in the style of the Middle Ages, the Hall of the Holy Spirit of the castle with many minarets, Gothic churches and cemeteries, and a variety of pale-colored houses that hide countless criminal secrets and obscure histories of heretics.

In front of the entrance of the Hall of the Holy Spirit, there are a large number of religious statues that can be called masterpieces of art, and flowers and plants of different colors are planted under the sculptures, which together form a huge garden with a diameter of 700 meters.

Its name is the Court of Confession

In the center of the garden, there is a 100-meter-high angel sculpture, made of marble, with a beautiful archangel stretching its snow-white wings behind it, stretching its huge arms, looking up at the sky.

At this moment, on both sides of the [Court of Repentance], two different camps of church teams were facing each other, and the atmosphere was solemn and solemn to the extreme.

If you take a closer look at the lineup, you will undoubtedly find that most of the night watchmen on Diana's side are young people, who have grown up in fanatical belief in the Lord of Radiance.

And the night watchmen who chose Drakes' side were almost all the older generation of Red Gloves who had spent most of their lives in the Inquisition, and they had great trust and awe for Drakes.

Judging from the scene, the night watchmen loyal to the side of Grand Inquisitor Drex, have a clear advantage in numbers and the number of strong men, after all, Drexs has been running the Inquisition for more than half a century, and his influence is far from being comparable to that of Victor.

However, in terms of momentum, they were absolutely at a disadvantage, and their momentum was more than a step weaker than that of the murderous paladins and the young night watchmen loyal to Victor and Diana.

And the source of all this is the chestnut-haired woman with a sword in her hand and standing under the archangel sculpture with her eyes closed.

A pair of snow-white wings also stretched out from her back, but they were not sculptures made of stone, nor illusions, but real angel wings.

Lighter than a feather, brighter than a crescent moon, and releasing a divine aura that even the best illusionists can't simulate, it powerfully impacts the eyes of the world.

Looking at the angelic wings behind Diana, who unmistakably revealed the identity of the gods, many of the old inquisitors who belonged to Drakes' side couldn't help but have extremely shocked expressions on their faces, and their hearts also wavered, oscillating between faith and loyalty.

They are judges who have walked in darkness all their lives for the glorious cause, and they are well aware of the fact that for the glorious believers, the Divine Favor is the messenger of light who walks in the world, and the words and deeds of the Divine Favor represent the Lord's will in the mortal world.

It stands to reason that it is a great honor for the world for God to see His loved ones coming.

But today, the first divine servant in history to set foot in the Land of Judgment is going to personally judge its master on the territory of the Inquisition, which is dedicated to judging heresy.

Could it be that Lord Drex, has really chosen to fall and incur the abandonment of Radiance?

Feelings of trepidation, doubt, anxiety, and uneasiness spread in the minds of the judges.......

As if unaware of the slaughter around her and the mood of the Night's Watch, Diana remained serene beneath the angel sculpture, her sword pointed down between the cracks in the floor of the Court of Repentance, her hands pressed against the hilt, her eyes closed and her breathing freely.

She is no longer the girl in Quanshui Town whose face turns pale when she sees blood, and now she is a glorious apostle, the master of the temple who has presided over the lives and deaths of countless people, and the god who has experienced the bloody battle of the abyss.

Even if there are thousands of troops coming now, she can already be quiet.

The calmer she was, the more uneasy the older Nightwatchmen became

At the moment when these emotions were brewing to the extreme, the door of the Holy Spirit Hall Castle suddenly opened.

There was a squeak, and the door opened loud in the silent wind.

Diana Huo De opened her eyes, and her pale golden eyes swept over a distance of seven hundred meters, and stabbed straight at the old man in a simple robe who appeared behind the door of the Holy Spirit Hall.

It was the first time she had met Drakes.

She had long heard of Drex, a former classmate of her teacher, the most brilliant theological genius of Augustine Theological Seminary, the most powerful Grand Inquisitor in the history of the Church, and the most powerful candidate for the position of Pope.

For all the clergy of the Church today, this shabby-dressed old man is a figure to whom they should look up and worship for the rest of their lives.

But for Diana, there is only one identity for Drakes, which is to indirectly kill his mother and brother, kill the townspeople of Springwater Town, and create the culprit of the cruel "natural disaster".

For this so-called senior, she has incomparable disgust and anger in her heart.

But the anger in her heart grew, and she appeared calmer on the surface, and her clear and majestic voice spread throughout the sky, "Fallen Inquisitor, are you ready for the sanction of the Holy Fire?"

The gaze of the juniors in front of him was not angry, and there was a shuddering magma flowing under the calm appearance of the lake, which made Drakes, who was looking at the other party, involuntarily recall his former self.

Even so, the chief judge only sighed slightly in his heart, and still did not have the slightest excess emotion.

As the master of the darkest institution of the Church, you must always maintain extreme calmness and restraint, free from subjective feelings.

The old man stood with his hands in his hands, his face was indifferent, and he walked towards the center of the [Court of Repentance] under the gaze of countless people.

The frequency and spacing of each step are as precise as the moving hands on a clock, no more, no less than a point.

"I have never turned my back on the Lord, so how can I be depraved? Your Lord, you know by heart the books of the Church, and you should know that those fallen people in history coveted nothing more than power and power, and how can these things be compared with my faith in radiance?"

Drex's face was expressionless, "As early as fifty years ago, I personally gave up the opportunity to enter the Great Temple of Radiance, chose the Hall of the Holy Spirit, and gave up the Pope's scepter to your teacher. “

"Unfortunately, he seems to have forgotten what happened back then, and I'm disappointed about that. The old man said lightly.

Diana's eyes were calm and did not waver in the slightest, "The teacher has never forgotten the love of the year, he has always left respect and guilt for you in his heart, and he can't bear to end you with his own hands, so the person who came here today to be in charge of the trial is me, not the teacher, this is the teacher's generosity and kindness to you." ”

"That's why I'm disappointed. ”

Drakes sighed, shook his head and said, "Actually, I personally don't mind having a break with Innocent at all, but he didn't take action personally, but sent you a little girl to die, he can't help but look down on his old friend too much, right?"

There is a strong sense of confidence in the words.

With these words, the audience fell silent.

Diana is now one of the most exalted figures in the entire Church and even the entire continent, she is the Imperial Family, the Holy Lady of the Holy See, the Lord of the Holy Church, the disciple of the Pope, and the glorious deity, any of which is enough to make countless people look up to it for a lifetime.

Even in terms of strength, Diana had already proven her extraordinary strength in the Imperial Scourge and the Templar Competition, and with her god-given wings, she possessed magic that rivaled the world's first-class powerhouses.

Who would dare to treat her like a little girl?

Who can treat her like a little girl?

But Drakes has this kind of confidence, and his tone is so natural and dismissive.

The young paladins loyal to Diana's side all looked surprised and angry, and clenched their weapons tightly.

It is unforgivable for this abominable great heresy to dare to use such contemptuous tones against their beloved Holy See.

The intense anger made the holy warriors want to rush forward now, crucify the old man in front of him with the holy spear in their hands, and burn it a hundred times with the holy flame to make up for his disrespect to the holy woman.

But in the next second, the scene of what happened made the paladins, including the night watchmen in both camps, speechless in shock.

Holy and transcendent magic erupted from Drex's plain and clean white robes, seemingly endlessly, endlessly, until it turned into a brilliant pillar of light and ascended into the deepest part of the heavenly vault.

As if to echo his power, the sky at the headquarters of the Inquisition also surged, and the milky white light rushed, like a vast sky light shooting from the long night of the polar continent, and in an instant, the lead-gray sky was dyed an endless snow-white.

The power of the powerful holy light stretched for thousands of meters, and even if you stood at the head of Sardinia City, you could see the snow-white holy light erupting in the distance, enveloping the sky of the entire Simonon Forest.

It's like a miracle.

In the face of the vast desert realm of light, mortal beings could not afford to resist at all, only endless awe of the Lord of Radiance.

Diana's face changed slightly.

"Oracle!"

The priesthood who were over fifty years old in the audience all let out exclamations of amazement, calling out in unison the existence of the highest level of this sacred magic system.

Those who can perform the [oracle technique] are already qualified to be ranked as saints.

Witnessing the overflowing glow in the sky, countless night watchmen wept, and a few old inquisitors even knelt on the ground in excitement to express their inner piety.

At the same time, their faith and loyalty to Drakes were strengthened in their hearts.

Drakes' body slowly floated up into the air, looking down indifferently and haughtily at the group of paladins below.

The surging coercion came like a tidal wave, and the members of the church who belonged to Diana's side let out a muffled grunt, and at the same time there was infinite fear in their hearts.

Is this the true strength of the master of the Inquisition?

Such a vast amount of divine power, they had only felt when they met the Pope, however, unlike the warm and pure holy power under the Pope's crown, the holy power released from the body of the old man in front of them was like cold iron and ice.

"Death to those who step into the Court of Judgment!" a voice of indifference descended from the clouds and echoed above the Inquisition, like the will of the gods.

In the sky, a magnificent cross formed by the condensation of holy light suddenly appeared.

From the cross, a magnificent pillar of light shot out, with a cold and silent sense of judgment, and fell to the people outside the court of confession.

Before the pillar of light arrived, a strong intent of death had already permeated the hearts of the holy warriors, making them unable to move, and they could only watch as the light symbolizing death enveloped their young bodies.

At this moment, a clear sword roar popped out of the floor of the Court of Confession, and the thin sword was drawn.

Behind Diana, the four god-given wings slowly opened, and her body turned into a golden meteor, rushing into the sky.

Soaring into the sky, the god-like figure stopped at the same time in front of the unbeatable light of judgment.

The thin sword slashed smoothly in the wind, dragging out a dazzling gold, and the pillar of judgment light, which conveyed the meaning of death, was actually split in two by the slender blade.

Diana grasped the sword in both hands and went forward, like a prophet opening the Red Sea, and forcibly cut the pillar of light in half.

Drex's eyebrows furrowed, and a second ray of judgment emanated from the Holy Cross without warning.

This time, the pillar of light came even more fiercely, and the terrifying magic tore all the clouds within a kilometer into wisps of cotton wool, and even blasted into the body of the divine saint with a huge power that seemed to collapse even the heavenly dome.

Chestnut hair fluttered in the wind, and Diana's blue eyes flashed with determination, and at the same time let out a clear sigh.

The gorgeous thin sword was wrapped in holy flames, and the metal sword body was vaporized in less than half a second, and a brilliant flame sword appeared in Diana's hand, swinging at high speed, and seven sword lights were completed in one go.

High in the sky, seven golden rays of light intertwined, like seven lightning bolts flying, weaving into a golden rainbow, colliding with the light of judgment.

According to the Divine Codex, pride, jealousy, lust, greed, gluttony, anger, and laziness are the seven original sins that living beings are born with.

Each sword represents a punishment for an original sin.

Divine Sword ---- [Judgment]

......

On a large tree in Simon's Forest.

Adam stood above the canopy, silently surveying the light that was tumbling in the sea of clouds in the distance.

Everything that happened there could not be hidden from his eyes.

"It is indeed not easy for this human being to be able to directly summon a ray of the Lord's light from nothingness. Adam thought silently.
