Chapter 156: A Break in Balance
The celebration was completed in a warm and exciting atmosphere, and afterwards, Link found those who did not show up one by one, and commended them individually.
These people did not go to the celebration banquet not to play big names, but they had no interest in fame and fortune, and they were not very accustomed to the eager atmosphere, and they were still very happy and excited about Link's praise, because it meant that their actions were recognized.
However, not everyone is the same, at least, the mercury lamp did not have much joy for Link's praise, some were just ashamed and self-blame, and their eyes were full of tears.
"I'm sorry, Father, I wanted to defeat the intruder, but in the end I almost lost my life, and if it weren't for Miss Ashmida's timely arrival, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen you anymore - Father, am I useless?"
Link would say yes? Hurry up and comfort this good girl, he has already learned about the mercury lamp blocking the enemy alone, after knowing that the mercury lamp actually fought with Billy at the peak of the seventh order for a while, he was very surprised, and he also had palpitations, fortunately the mercury lamp didn't have an accident, otherwise how should he explain to the 'child and her mother'? That 'child and her mother' is not something he can provoke.
Moreover, Link himself also likes mercury lamps and doesn't want anything to happen to them, so when he first learned about this, he was still a little angry, but when he saw mercury lamps with a pitiful look of self-blame, he couldn't be angry.
Who would be to blame such a good boy? You know, the reason why the mercury lamp would run to stop the enemy in a hurry was just to get his praise and make him happy.
After some comfort and persuasion, Link finally calmed down the mercury lamp, but although the mercury lamp was cute, she was a stubborn child like Arya, although she was appeased, she also said that she would work hard to cultivate in the future. After the same incident, Link will definitely not be disappointed again.
Although the mercury lamp is a puppet, she also has a way of cultivating, and before coming to the human realm, Alice told her the method of cultivation, as long as she practices diligently, she can slowly improve her strength. Therefore, Link was not surprised by the fact that the mercury lamp wanted to improve his strength, and he didn't have any good ideas, but he just told the mercury lamp not to be reluctant, when encountering the enemy. If you find that the enemy is stronger than you, then don't be strong, evacuate first or join forces with others, in short, it doesn't matter if you can't beat it, you can't fight it, you can't hold it out.
The good boy Mercury Lamp memorized all of Link's words, and it was considered that she knew how to save her life because of her lack of common sense.
Speaking of combat effectiveness, the record of the two Golden Saint Seiyas really surprised him, originally Link thought that the two Golden Saint Seiyas would have to unite with other masters in the sect to defeat the Billy Brothers, but he didn't want them to kill the Billy Brothers one by one. And none of them were hurt.
You must know that although the Golden Saint Seiya is powerful, the two of them are still far from the peak, and they can only just have a little heat, and Saga has just comprehended the seventh sense. His cultivation was still in the early stage of the seventh order, but with the blessing of the golden holy clothes, the power of his golden combat skills was close to the eighth order, and he even had the special effect of shattering the stars. made it difficult for the bald head to resist Libby's full force, and he was finally beaten into scum.
Not to mention Ashmida's cultivation, she has not yet comprehended the seventh sense. She only touched the doorway of her seventh sense, but her natural blindness made her other senses more acute, and coupled with the relationship of holding the Elemental Holy Body, her sixth sense was much stronger than that of ordinary Saint Seiya. However, this is not the biggest reason why she killed Billy in seconds, the real reason is that the special effects brought by the Virgo Holy Clothes can allow her to continue to accumulate a small universe in zazen meditation, and then burst out in one breath in battle, making her small universe briefly expand to the strength of the seventh sense.
The small universe at the level of the seventh sense, plus the golden combat technique 'Six Paths of Reincarnation', which directly hits the spirit, is the reason why Ashmida killed Billy in seconds, and she was also quite tired after the outbreak, so she didn't say much and returned to meditation to continue sitting meditation.
Therefore, if you want to talk about cultivation, Ashmida is actually weaker than the current Sachar, but the particularity of Virgo makes Ashmida's momentum and mystery even more so.
Of course, if it comes to growth and potential, Ashmida and Sachar are actually similar, there is no difference between strength and weakness in the golden holy clothes produced by the system, the twelve golden holy clothes are all of the same level, and after the system has transformed their bodies with divine power, the potential of the two has been adjusted to the maximum, and no one has an advantage at all, what will happen in the end, it still depends on the acquired efforts of the two.
In this way, after the praise was over, Link also began his intense and busy post-war work, although the war was over, Link's work continued unabated, and all kinds of problems made him anxious, eager to split himself in half to use.
Even with everyone's efforts, Link still felt that there was a shortage of manpower, and he now finally understood why the entrepreneurs on the planet used their female employees as men, male employees as dogs, and themselves as robots, which really made people not even have time to rest.
Fortunately, it only took a month for the Temple of the Father to destroy the Temple of Madness, which made the other churches feel frightened and jealous, but no one rushed out to find fault, which saved Link a lot of trouble, and soon after the news of the Golden Saint Seiya spread, no one dared to provoke the Father God Sect, after all, in the Red Moon Province, the church with seventh-order powerhouses on the surface definitely belongs to the power at the top of the pyramid.
Speaking of which, the behavior of several big churches has been a bit strange recently, after they learned that the Temple of Mad God was destroyed and the God of War Cult joined the Church of the Father, they did not put themselves in danger and openly and secretly condemn the bloody acts of the Father God Cult like those small and medium-sized churches, but remained silent, as if they were observing something.
A wise person can see at a glance that several large churches are waiting for the reaction of the Count of Lothar, and when such a big thing happens, the Count of Lothar should not do nothing, even if he is a believer in God the Father.
However, after waiting for a while, the Count of Lothar did not actually take action except for verbally 'blaming' the actions of the Fathers, and he did not even stop secretly sending support to the Fathers—although the Count of Lothar's support for the Fathers was very hidden, it was still discovered by some people.
In the face of this situation, several big churches can't sit still, since the official ignores the domineering behavior of the Father's Religion, then the so-called rules will be declared invalid, even if they follow the Father's Religion and take action, the official has no reason to take care of it, because the culprit of the Father's Religion is still alive and well, and if you want to deal with them, you have to solve the Father's Religion before it is reasonable. Therefore, the major churches launched their actions one after another, and began to annex some surrounding churches by both soft and hard means, and the religious chaos in Hongyue Province officially began.
For a time, the religious circles of the Red Moon Province were full of blood, and there was no official restraint. The religious circles of peace for many years have also torn their faces, and began to eliminate hostile churches and annex surrounding churches under the banner of revenge and purification of heresy, etc., the small churches are all in danger, and they may be swallowed up by the jackals and hungry tigers around them the next day, while the large churches are attacking and slandering each other, trying to annex each other, and the five major churches began to crush other churches with absolute strength, and some of the forces hidden by them have also appeared, the most typical of which is that the five major churches, like the Father's God Cult, have taken out at least one seventh-order powerhouse as the power on the surface。
This made countless people in an uproar, and many people who realized it later understood that the fact that the previous major churches said that they only had sixth-order or even fifth-order powerhouses was used to fool people, or to fool the officials, so that the officials could rest assured, with their deeper background than the Star Kingdom, how could they have this little power? It's just that I didn't expect that the original seventh-order powerhouses were actually among them, and it can be seen that although the seventh-order powerhouses are rare, they are not as capable of sweeping the Red Moon Province by themselves as they imagined.
Several major churches have exerted their strength, making the small and medium-sized churches in the Red Moon Province frightened, and many forces don't even have much will to resist, they are not like the Father's God Sect with seventh-order powerhouses in charge, in the face of several major churches with seventh-order powerhouses, who are their opponents? What's more, after annexing the Mad God Temple and the God of War Cult, the Father's God Sect's power is second only to the five churches with a pope, and it is not surprising when Link proclaimed himself Pope.
In fact, Link is very eager for the title of Pope, because it is not only an honor, but also a sign that the Church of God the Father has truly become a big church, and can attract more talents who are still waiting to join. And the Count of Lothar also hinted that if he wanted to become pope, he could do so at any time.
It's just that now although the Father's Church is huge, it is not stable enough, like a castle in the air, and several churches with a pope are still waiting, if he proclaims himself the pope now, it is very likely that several major religions will be angry, and they will be besieged, even if the Father's Church is full of masters, it is difficult to resist the siege of several major churches.
Therefore, Link will have to wait, at most half a year, and after digesting and stabilizing the existing forces, he will proclaim himself the Pope, and at that time, even if several major churches join forces, he will not have to be afraid.
The religious dispute in the Red Moon Province was like a fuse, and began to spread to other provinces, and in just one month, the churches in many provinces began to annex each other, although some local governments also took measures, but they could not stop the general trend, in the case of the official situation was weak, and the kingdom was too busy to take care of itself, it became the general trend for the religious circles to break the balance rules and start a new round of expansion, and no one could stop it, except for some provinces and the central government with strong lords, the religious circles in other places were caught in a bloody storm.
As the initiator of the storm, after more than a month of hard work, the Church of God of the Father has gradually digested the newly captured forces, more than seventy percent of the churches and monasteries have been stationed, the training of a new batch of paladins and knights of the apocalypse has been completed, the nursing homes and orphanages have accommodated a large number of people, and the recruitment of students from the first academy of divine favor has also been completed, and the first batch of 600 students is about to enter the hall of shaping talents.
