Chapter 533: Radiant Artifact
The year 1788 is a very important year in the history of Eulut, and in the eyes of later historians, it is a super treasure mine that is extremely rich. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
And in February 1788, the sacred calendar, known as the first year of the turbulent year, Infiniti, the Lord of the Remnant Sun, appeared on the continent of Orent as the heir of the Lord of Radiance, integrating the forces of most of the original Lord of Radiance, which was undoubtedly a very shocking event.
Many desperate people seemed to see light and hope again, and the great Lord of the Sun, Infiniti, appeared in St. Peter's Square in front of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican in the Holy City, which is the largest square in the entire Orrent world, which can accommodate 500,000 people.
The construction of this square lasted for a full eleven years, and the entire square was surrounded by stone columns, on which carved saints, sanctuaries and legendary powerhouses of the Church of the Lord of Radiance for 2,000 years, a total of 140.
In the center of the square, an obelisk carved from a super-pillar transported from the distant continent of Epheric, and at the top of it is a bust of the Lord of the Radiance of the Holy Father.
Worshippers of the Lord of Light, who are not qualified to enter St. Peter's Basilica, often come to St. Peter's Basilica during regular Mass to hold mass prayers.
Here, Infiniti, the Lord of the Remnant Sun, gave a speech that showed the sacredness, causing more than 300,000 followers of the Lord of the Original Radiance to kneel and pray and entrust their faith to him, becoming followers of the Lord of the Remnant Sun.
The power organs and main institutions of the original Church of the Lord of Radiance have been transformed one after another, and they have peacefully evolved into the institutions of the Church of the Lord of the Remnant Sun, except for a very few big people who have disappeared, other cardinals, high-ranking paladins and other big figures have reappeared in front of everyone, all with ruddy faces and smiles, and they seem to be full of confidence in the future.
The appearance of Infiniti, the Lord of the Remnant Sun, was tantamount to a super shockwave, instantly shaking the major forces of the entire Oronte world, and the next stage of the strategy battle that was already about to be launched in the Bones Land and the Endless Abyss was suspended and died down.
You must know that the influence of the Lord of Radiance on the entire world of Orrente is too far-reaching, if many people regard Nicholas, the Lord of Secret Blood, as a joke, but no one dares to take Infiniti, the Lord of the Remnant Sun, lightly.
If the other great powers are still in a wait-and-see state, then Nicholas, the Lord of the Secret Blood, and the vampires under his command are like ants on the stove, and they are in a hurry.
After giving a speech in St. Peter's Square, Infiniti gave an order, and the three major institutions of the Bishopric, the Knights of the Sun, and the Inquisition simultaneously dispatched elites from the holy city of Vatini to Milan, the capital of the Kingdom of Itanli under the rule of Nicholas!
In the newly established Supreme Temple of the Secret Blood Church in Milan City, Nicholas, the Lord of the Secret Blood, faced an unfathomable pool of red blood in front of him, with an irritated and anxious expression.
In the pool of red blood, two different images gradually emerged, one was lifeless and majestic, and the other was charming, enchanting, noble and cold, it was the immortal king Bardes and the queen of pain, Mesti.
"The Church of the Lord of Radiance has always been the greatest enemy of our Dark Council for two thousand years, and now, a church called the Lord of the Remnant Sun has stood up on the corpse of giants, and Pope Benton XVIII has been promoted to a demigod, and he has the support of almost all the high-ups!" Nicholas said with a grim face: " We must unite at this important moment and destroy the Church of the Lord of the Remnant Sun as soon as possible, otherwise if he is allowed to harvest his faith and become the first god in the future, then everything we have gained will be lost again, and I am afraid we will never have such a good opportunity again!"
"The Lord of the Remnant Sun, Pope Benton XVIII, he was just a legend before, he will never be the first to become a god! Nicholas, relax, although the Holy See has several holy domains, but without the divine power of the Lord of Radiance, they will no longer be holy domains! I don't believe that Infiniti can provide enough divine power for these powerhouses of the Holy Domain!" As an old enemy of the Church of the Radiant Lord, the Immortal King Bardes has been fighting against the Church of the Radiant Lord for almost most of his life, and has suffered three defeats but risen three times, and his understanding of the Church of the Radiant Lord is even higher than that of many popes.
"But after the Lord of Radiance left, the Holy See's Sanctuary powerhouses haven't made a move at all! they at least have the strength to fight!" Nicholas snorted coldly, "I can't be the opponent of a demigod and four sanctuary domains!"
"Great Lord of the Secret Blood, you have a Secret Blood Church? If it weren't for your eagerness to spread the faith, I'm afraid Benton XVIII, the old turtle, would continue to hold back, right? Speaking of which, your contribution is still very large. Misty, the queen of pain, sneered as she covered her mouth with one hand.
"I'm running out of time! The Holy See army is marching all the way to Milan! If you don't make a move, I will have to evacuate in a quarter of an hour at most!" Nicholas had a determined look on his face: "The Blood Clan will never be able to fight the Holy See on its own!"
After the undead king Bardes was silent for a moment, he held out a finger: "Once, Nicholas, as a member of the Dark Council, the Council will only help you unconditionally this time. After all, the kingdom of Itanli is your sphere of influence, and our enemies are very strong. ”
"One time is enough, as long as I can consume the remaining glorious divine power of those Holy See Sanctuary, I have no fear of confronting the so-called Lord Church of the Remnant Sun!" Prince Nicholas said with a proud face.
Infiniti, Lord of the Sun, hahaha, it's a joke.
Nicholas, as a senior Sanctuary newcomer demigod powerhouse, naturally has a much deeper understanding of the path of promotion than ordinary people, and the span from legend to demigod is almost heavenly, even if there is the grace left by the Lord of Radiance, Infiniti will never be promoted to demigod easily. This is evident from the fact that he has been cowering in St. Peter's Basilica for so long.
The pool of red blood began to slowly ripple, and a small vortex formed in it, then it grew bigger and brighter, and suddenly, a dark green crystal flew out of it.
"Nicholas, the next step is for you to establish a temporary plane channel, the energy of the channel will be paid by you, and there will be one or three demon lords in the Endless Abyss to support, depending on the size of your portal!" This green ** energy crystal was naturally teleported by the Queen of Pain, Mesti.
Nicholas looked in pain, knowing that the space leading from the Endless Abyss to the Continent of Orent was so far away, and the energy required to pass through a portal at the level of the Demon Lord was even more astronomical. Even in the history of Orrente, most demon summoning rituals were nothing more than summoning low-level demons such as destruction demons, hellhounds, succubi, etc., and legendary demons such as the Barlow Flame Demon were very rare, and the projection of the Demon Lord was even rarer.
But he had to pay the price, although he was initially forced by the tyrannical lord Razgata to choose the kingdom of Itanli as his sphere of influence.
Judging from the current situation, this decision cannot be regarded as completely wrong, except for the Kingdom of Itanli, the other southeastern principalities and city-states of Orent that have been divided by the rest of the dark forces have already become a hell on earth, plus the Western Expedition of the Orcs, it has completely become the most terrifying and tragic place, and it is impossible for the blood clan to obtain such a large territory with a large population and peace and stability.
"I will provide enough energy to summon the arrival of the three demon lords!" Nicholas gritted his teeth and said, "I hope that this decisive battle between the Dark Council and the Church of the Lord of the Remnant Sun can be won by a big victory!"
It's best to kill and wound a few enemy Sanctuary Domains, and then completely suppress Infiniti, the Lord of the Sun, so that you can rest easy!
Once the demon leaves the Endless Abyss, his strength will decline to a certain extent, and the seven demon lords can all be called demigod powerhouses in the Endless Abyss, but in the Oronte world, only the tyrannical lord Razgata has ever shown demigod-level power.
But even so, the three demon lords are at least three genuine powerhouses of the Holy Domain, plus the reinforcements of the Buried Bones and the strength of the blood clan itself, they have surpassed the Lord Church of the Remnant Sun, no matter how you look at it, this victory is very big.
Prince Nicholas finally gave up on his plans to escape, and began to gather the resources needed to open the dimensional portal, and faced the army of the Lord of the Suns outside Milan.
At this time, Cardinal Cardinal Raphael, the head of the Knights of the Sun, Maldini, and the head of the Inquisition, Nietzsche, were listening to the teachings of Infiniti, the Lord of the Sun.
"My lord, since the Holy Father's light shines on the whole of Orrente, the Holy See has been the number one enemy of all the dark forces in the entire Orrente, and now that the darkness is raging, why do you want to change your original strategy and make a big fanfare?" Cardinal Cardinal Raphael is a white-haired old man, he is the eldest of all cardinal cardinals, and he is also the former powerhouse of the Sanctuary: "I'm afraid we will become the primary target of the Dark Council! ”
In fact, this question has always haunted the hearts of the high-level of the Holy See, but no one dares to speak directly to the current Lord of the Remnant Sun, after all, he is no longer the former Pope Benton XVIII, but the existence of the faith entrusted by everyone. Only Raphael is still a little bit dependent on the qualifications of the old to sell the old to provoke this doubt.
"It's not that I insist on doing this, but I have to!" The current Lord of the Remnant Sun, Infiniti, no longer had any scruples when facing these three former Sanctuary powerhouses of the Radiant Holy See. Because he not only surpassed these three people in rank, but also received their faith and became their Lord, he explained: "How many followers of the Lord of Light were there in the world of Orrente?"
"According to the census of December 1786 in the sacred calendar, it is about 180 million!" Raphael, although he was old, his mind was not confused at all, and he replied directly.
"Yes, there are less than 300 million people in the entire Oronte continent, and there are more than sixty percent of the believers of the Holy Father, which is not too young, remote, and not allowed to believe in the Holy Father. Infiniti elaborated: "I have become the Lord of the Remnant Sun, only to know that this faith is a double-edged sword, God grows because of faith, and the collapse of faith will also cause God to fall! The Holy Father left, and the faith of the entire Orrente human race quickly collapsed in just one or two months, and countless people fell into madness, self-doubt, and even questioned the existence of the Holy Father. If we continue to maintain the original strategy, I am afraid that when the situation on the continent of Orrent becomes clear, I will no longer receive any faith other than the Holy City and Franclon!"
You must know that the relationship between Infiniti, the Lord of the Remnant Sun, and the Lord of Radiance is too deep, and everything about him is created by the generosity of the Lord of Radiance, and now he naturally has to bear the consequences of the collapse of the faith of the Lord of Radiance.
If it is other demigods who want to become gods in the future, they can naturally preach and expand their faith after the collapse of the Lord of Radiance's faith, but it is impossible for Infiniti, the Lord of the Remnant Sun, if he doesn't want to fall doomedly, then he must harvest as much as possible before the collapse of the Lord of Radiance's belief and expand his faith.
With the ability of Eulicia, the Lord of the Dawn, it is not possible to cultivate and increase divine power from the faith of believers, and it is naturally even more impossible for Infiniti, the Lord of the Remnant Sun, to become a demigod overnight, but in his hands he holds two holy relics left by the Lord of Radiance: the Holy Cross and the Radiant Apocalypse!
The Radiant Apocalypse can transform the believer's faith into radiant power, and Infiniti can use the Holy Cross to transform the radiant power into his own remnant power.
Although the efficiency of the power of transforming faith in the "Radiant Apocalypse" is far lower than that of the former Lord of Radiance itself, this effect has far surpassed all epic and legendary-level magical artifacts, and is enough to be called a real artifact.
Although the transformation efficiency is extremely low, if half of the 180 million followers of the Lord of Radiance can be converted, no, even one-tenth of them to the Lord of the Remnant Sun, then Infiniti will be able to continuously obtain a large amount of Lord of Radiance divine power far away, not only can rely on these glorious divine powers to maintain the combat power of the entire Holy See, but also help themselves move faster towards the step of igniting the Divine Fire and believing in the gods!
So when the immortal king Bardes destroyed the Rhine Federation, Infiniti did not move, when the orc army marched westward and crushed one principality city-state after another, Infiniti remained silent, when the vampire attacked the kingdom of Itanli, King Benist XII came to the holy city of Vatini one after another, Infiniti just didn't see it, but when Prince Nicholas became Nicholas, the lord of the secret blood, Infiniti finally couldn't sit still! )
