Three days went by in a flash.

During this time, the previous Blue Flame Priest came to the dungeon again.

To his great disappointment, Neillucius was still reluctant to reveal any information about the "snake", and even remained silent as if resigned to his fate.

Chen Lun took advantage of this conversation to learn the name of this Lan Yan priest, Willis, from a bishop who was traveling with the other party.

Before Father Willis left, he crouched down in front of Neil with a candle in his voice, and his tone was cold:

"Actually, even if you don't say it, the church has found some clues based on the nature of your 'holy fire'...... The ability to 'tame beasts', 'divination' and 'flickering' is very similar to a way called 'fate' outside the realm. ”

“……”

Neil kept his head down and didn't respond.

Willis took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"If you are unwilling to speak the serpent' message, then tell the Church what you know about 'fate' and other means, and I will assure you in the name of the Holy Land Klein that your wife Lavra and your children will live in peace and happiness, and no one will dare to disturb them."

At the mention of his family, Neil's body trembled slightly.

But he still didn't speak.

Father Willis waited for several minutes, then finally sighed heavily, stood up and gestured.

"Take him to the Place of Splendour, Your Majesty and the Pope have been waiting for a long time."

"Yes, Lord Willis."

Two Church of the Redemption priests unchained the walls, but Neil's hands and feet were still shackled, and they carried him out of his cell.

The chains dragged on the ground, rubbing and clattering.

Along the dimly lit aisles lit by torches, Neil was taken to the surface by the clergy, and made his way to the middle of a plaza amid the curses and onlookers of countless residents of the royal city.

The two Redemption Priests let go of their hands, and Neil fell to his knees.

He looked up at the blinding light, and saw a large group of people sitting on the high platform in the distance.

Members of the royal family in sumptuous costumes and the magnates of the empire exchanged glances of curiosity but indifference at him.

His Majesty the Brilliant Emperor Schroeder is at the forefront.

At her side sat Queen Tori.

They had their backs to the light, and they couldn't see their expressions, but Neil could guess that it was definitely a look of disgust and indifference.

On the other side of the high platform, on the seats parallel to the royal family, there was a group of clergy of the Church of the Redemption in blue robes, and dozens of bishopric-level figures alone were present, among which the Pope of the Imperial Church, Dominguez, slowly stood up.

This is an old man, with a wrinkled face, those deep eyes looking down, opening his mouth and saying:

"Despicable demonic servant, Nillucius, for twenty-six years you have murdered the Church, persecuted the people of the Empire, lurked in the Church to steal the glory of our Lord, and blasphemed the gods...... At this moment, can there be a sense of repentance and atonement? ”

Neil, covered in bruises, fell to his knees, staring at Him.

The expression is indescribably weird.

It was an almost pleasant calm, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised, and a mocking grin erupted.

Old Pope Dominguez frowned slightly, and the bishops and Father Lan Yan had gloomy expressions, and even His Majesty Schroeder couldn't help but look ugly after seeing Neil's ridicule.

"Repentance? Expiation? ”

Neil gradually felt his body begin to recover rapidly under that familiar force.

The wound heals and the body is full of energy.

He said lightly, and got up from the ground.

Seeing this, the two redeeming priests behind him who were in charge of guarding Neil changed slightly, and they were about to knock him down again, but suddenly found that their hands were covered with pale crystals at some point.

"Snake ......"

As soon as the Father of Redemption could utter a single word, he completely turned into a crystalline statue and lost its breath of life.

"You are the one to repent! His Majesty! ”

Neil shouted loudly.

He immediately used his extraordinary strength, and the shackles on his hands and feet were suddenly incinerated into molten iron by a ball of flames, and they fell down with a drip.

"It is the glorious empire that will atone for its sins! It's His Majesty Schroeder and the Church of Redemption! It's the Blue Pope of the Holy Land Klein and the Blue Flame Priests! You guys! Angered the great Serpent, now! Right away! Get on your knees for me!! ”

Neil's roar resounded throughout the square.

At the end, the word "kneel" suddenly changed its voice, and it came from a low, magnetic voice, which did not look like Neil's voice at all.

"Ridiculous!"

His Majesty Schroeder angrily smashed the teacup in his hand.

Queen Torrey, the prince and princess and other members of the royal family and magnates have changed their colors, they have never seen such an arrogant death row prisoner.

The audience was in an uproar.

Countless onlookers of the royal city residents were arguing, curses mixed with excited roars, resounding all around.

On the high platform, seven or eight Lan Yan priests stood up together, and all the bishops and priests also stood up angrily and glared angrily at Neil in the center of the square.

"Blasphemy against Your Majesty, blasphemy against the Church, blasphemy against the gods......"

Pope Dominguez folded his hands behind his back and said.

"In the name of the goddess of the candelabra, 'Styko', I condemn you to hell!"

"Don't you understand?"

Neil's voice completely disintegrated into that of another strange man.

He raised his hand suddenly, and the shadowy palm pulled down.

"Get down on your knees!!"

Buzz –

A terrifying gravitational force instantly enveloped the audience.

There was a loud bang.

The high platform seemed to be slapped by an invisible hand, and it suddenly collapsed, and the ground was shaken.

Countless exclamations.

The top brass of the Church of the Redemption emerged from the smoke and dust, and with the exception of Pope Dominguez and the seven Fathers of Blue Flame, who remained standing, the rest of the bishops and clergy all knelt or fell to their knees, their faces furious.

"Ahh Damn it!! ”

"The gods of fire are above! I will not give in! ”

"Demons! What exactly did you do?! ”

There was a roar of rage, but "Neil" was not affected in any way.

His eyes were completely covered in crystals, and a phantom of a rusty crown appeared above his head, and he stood alone in the middle of the square with a pale cloak and an ivory white scepter in his hand.

"Kneel!"

"Neil" pointed at the scepter in his hand.

Domingos's old face changed, and as a demigod of the Holy Flame [Fire Gate], he could not resist the invisible gravitational pull, and his legs creaked.

He snorted, and blue flames erupted from all over him.

Raging!!

Behind him, flames all erupted from the bodies of the seven Blue Flame Priests, and the pillars of fire formed spiraled upward, soaring into the sky.

Neil raised his left hand and waved it down at the royal family.

Rumble!!

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

"Protect Your Majesty!"

Among the exclamations of the guards, the king, who was just an ordinary person, fell with the queen and the royal dignitaries, and was buried by countless gravel and dust.

Screams rang out from the crowd of onlookers.

The originally grand and grand "Demon Trial Ceremony" has become a chaotic farce, and the royal family and the church are powerless to resist in the face of that terrible demon.

"Demons! After many years, you are finally willing to show up! ”

Pope Dominguez spreads his arms.

"Go to hell!!"

The flames behind him swelled and turned into a sea of blue fire.

A giant covered with thunder and lightning, with a mouth and nose spewing out of the plague Mars, carried a huge door and gradually walked out.

"Neil" looked up and suddenly realized.

'The power of the Sea Giants and the Rebels ......'

The door on the giant's back slowly opened, and from it came bursts of noisy singing, as if countless people were singing inside the door, but it was completely absent in the beat and tone, giving people a strange and dissonant feeling.

And when you listen to this song, it is more like a vicious curse.

The voice suddenly made Neil's movements froze.

'Huh? This is not the power of a plague or a deep-sea pathway, but a new and unfamiliar pathway...... Did the old fellow absorb the path of heaven or wasteland? Interesting! ’

With his extremely high position, he is directly exempt from the influence of singing.

Immediately, the figure became taller and taller.

In the stunned eyes of the Salvation Church and countless people present, the white-scaled python that clinged to the arm in the "Cangwang Posture" was revealed.

That's the limit of what Neil can bear.

But to deal with these people at the moment, it is completely enough.

Boom –

The giant python tens of meters long flicked its tail and instantly slapped on the flame giant and the door.

Horrible hot sparks, splashing in all directions.

Countless onlookers were touched by the spark and turned into humanoid torches on the spot, burning to ashes in just a few seconds.

The entire square was flooded with flames.

Panic spread, screaming everywhere.

The polluting radiation of the high-level forces unknowingly affected the tens of thousands of people present.

"I'm guilty!"

Pope Domingos closed his eyes in agony as he watched the inhabitants of the royal capital die in the aftermath.

It was the negligence of the church that killed these people.

It was His underestimation of Neil Lucius that led to this catastrophe.

Rumble!!

The old Pope revealed his mythical creature.

A tornado-like pillar of blue fire writhed across the square, as if mourning the tragic dead, and as if dancing towards the gods of flames.

The Blue Flame Priests followed suit, revealing their mythical creatures one after another.

They are all pillars of fire, spinning and twisting.

Their bodies are more than ten meters high, although they are not as high as the Pope's dozens of meters of fire, they are enough to be daunting.

The white-scaled python raged in the square, rampage in a sea of fire.

He opened his bloody mouth, and a huge ivory-white carved cross sword actually shot out of it, and in an instant, he swept away, cutting off seven or eight pillars of fire!

A brilliant square crystal fell in a blind spot that no one noticed.

With a bang, a brilliant dust mist bloomed.

The pale lichen began to spread in all directions, extinguishing the flames and engulfing the earth until it covered the entire square and beyond......

*

*

*

The battle did not last long.

In less than twenty minutes.

The residents, who had fled the square for a long distance, suddenly found that the earth-shattering noise had suddenly stopped.

People gradually stopped and looked back.

I saw that in the direction of the square, black smoke was billowing out.

Some bold people, driven by curiosity, turned back.

What catches your eye is a dazzling glitter of crystalline lichen that covers the ruins of the square.

In the empty space, there is a group of charred black figures who are kneeling down in unison.

Judging from the wreckage that can be seen around us, those figures are all clergy of the Church of the Redemption!

Wails and pains rang out farther away.

Queen Torrey was unfortunately killed by a falling rolling stone in the aftermath.

The crown prince, members of the royal family and powerful people were killed and wounded, and His Majesty Schröder, although he survived, was also seriously wounded.

The minions were scrambled like headless flies.

Countless knights and armies quickly cordoned off the scene, but no one dared to step into the square again, because at the edge, countless humanoid crystalline statues were standing to warn those who came after them that this was the fate of touching the pale lichen!

Panic and chaos are rapidly fermenting.

As for the culprit of this calamity, Neil Lucius ......

But he was gone!

This news, like a catalyst, quickly brought the original panic and chaos to its highest point.

But no one knew that "Neil" had already arrived in the underground chamber of the Cathedral of Redemption and stopped in front of a huge shrine in the deepest part.

Behind him were the fallen church staff.

Inside the shrine in front of him, a clear blue flame burned brightly.

Chen Lun manipulated Neil's body and slowly stepped forward.

The rather cold blue light shone on the face of the incomparably surprised.

'This is?! ’

In the firelight, a picture was faintly revealed, no, more accurately, a projection.

It was a huge strange "machine", with countless black ring-like thick lines, linking the sockets of the "machine", and hundreds of glowing mirrors, either hanging or pasted on the surface, revealing dense text.

'Supercomputer ...... of the Federal Research Center'
