Chapter 114: The Pope's Curse!
Church.
Everyone surrounded Wu Xiaode.
Wu Xiaode held the red scepter in his hand and held it high.
"Let us test your piety, God's agent on earth."
Everyone said in unison.
Wisps of holy light flew out of them and landed on Wu Xiaode.
This is holy prayer.
If the other person is not a staunch believer, the holy man will turn into a sharp weapon to punish him; If the other person is a true believer, the saint will sense the power of the same origin and belong to that person.
Several patriarchs, bishops, and elders hid in the mist, silently reciting incantations in unison, and secretly launched the corresponding lifting technique.
And those saints found nothing.
They calmly stayed on the surface of Wu Xiaode's body, and were finally gently pulled away by the ghosts.
ββIt looks like it has been integrated into Wu Xiaode's body.
The crowd of onlookers immediately cheered.
There were no flaws in the whole process, and nothing went wrong.
Worthy of a fanatical adjudicator!
He is the new Pope who deserves it!
Wu Xiaode knew that he had passed another level, and there was a hint of majesty and solemnity on his face.
He said solemnly:
"Give me a quiet room, and I'll experience the power of the scepter."
"Please come over here."
A bishop led him towards the back of the church.
"Pope, can you resurrect others?" Someone shouted from behind.
Wu Xiaode pointed at his hand without looking back.
The void moved.
A patriarch appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Long time no see."
He smiled and walked into the crowd to talk to a few of his old acquaintances.
The crowd cheered.
"I haven't fully recovered yet, I need more strength to meet you, please wait for His Majesty's strength to recover, and then cast the spell again, and I can meet with you."
After the patriarch finished speaking, the vitality in his body suddenly disappeared.
He looked like a dead man.
- This is the White Tiger suppressing the art of ghosts, so that the Patriarch shows his original corpse appearance.
In the midst of the exclamations of the people, the patriarch disappeared into the void and disappeared.
The other side.
Wu Xiaode followed the bishop into the room.
"Get some rest."
The bishop saluted again, then withdrew, closing the door from the outside.
Wu Xiaode checked the room and found that this was indeed a secret room, so he took out the other two scepters.
In fact, the white and black scepters are already connected.
The white scepter transforms into a white lizard, and the black scepter takes the form of a black serpent, coiled together with each other.
The black snake was below, forming a black staff.
A white lizard is on top of it, turning into the scepter's scepter.
Now I got the Red Scepter again.
- What will happen?
Wu Xiaode looked at the scepter silently.
Suddenly, the three scepters seemed to sense each other, and together they let out a slight tremor.
I saw that the red scepter gradually moved, wrapped around the outer layers of the two scepters, and wandered back and forth, trying to find a place.
After searching for a long time, it found that the lizard and the snake were very closely connected, and had no place of its own.
As he was wandering, the lizard opened its mouth and bit the red scepter directly.
The Red Scepter struggled for a moment, but stopped moving.
It shrunk into a red gem and was bitten in the mouth by a lizard.
The lizard closes its eyes.
The entire scepter gradually turned into a black and white wooden staff, and the head of the scepter was inlaid with a blood-red gem.
As soon as the scepter took shape, the Book of the Dead suddenly flew down in front of Wu Xiaode.
Rows of small ice crystal characters emitting cold air then emerged:
"White represents the executor of the oracle, red represents God's unbreakable covenant with you, and black represents the pact of calling in prison."
"The three scepters have been fused into one, the Staff of Hell Summoning."
"You have obtained the Staff of Hell Summoning."
"Before the power of the scepter is activated, because you have fulfilled an extremely special situation, some kind of curse lurking on the scepter has been activated!"
Wu Xiaode's heart sank.
It can't be such a coincidence!
Why did I activate the curse as soon as I came!
He was feeling uncomfortable when he saw a whisper coming from the scepter:
"Calm down, Your Majesty the new Pope."
"The curse I cast is not directed at you, it will only be activated if you are supported by the people, have obtained three scepters, and are accompanied by the Patriarch, the Cardinal, the Archbishop, and the Elders of the Inquisition."
This is the voice of the Pope!
Wu Xiaode looked left and right-
Indeed, there were patriarchs, cardinals, archbishops, and magistrates.
But they're all ghosts.
Misunderstanding, Pope.
They're not here to witness or anything, you can't just curse me!
"In addition, you must have at least seventy percent of the reverence of the congregation to be able to hear my voice." β
Seventy percent?
Wu Xiaode looked at the Book of the Dead.
I saw lines of small ice crystal characters appear on the Book of the Dead:
"In the previous battles, many Saint Cultists have witnessed your power with their own eyes."
"After you performed the miracle of the 'resurrection of the dead,' the reverence for you reached an unprecedented level."
"The reason why it didn't have a star-bursting effect is because your deeds are still circulating in the Holy See, and this book is waiting for the matter to ferment and make a final settlement of it."
I see.
- Then again, the conditions for this curse to awaken are indeed very high.
If there is such a person in the Holy Church, the Pope should bless it, but why is it a curse?
What exactly does the Pope want to do?
Wu Xiaode was a little curious at this time, and couldn't help but listen silently.
The Pope's voice kept ringing from the scepter:
"I finally knew that everything I was doing was meaningless......"
"I thought 'God' would help me resurrect my wife."
"But her soul was so good that the 'gods' ate her and deceived me for years."
"βI didn't know all this until the moment I was about to die."
"I'm certainly no match for God."
"But I won't be blind!"
"Let me tell you a little truth, successor."
"Over the years, the 'God' has turned the world of sinful hell into a 'crop' of souls, and has strengthened itself by devouring souls."
"They are actually most eager to get an extremely rare soul from it:"
"βThe human soul that has truly awakened the power of death."
Wu Xiaode: "......"
On the scepter, the Pope's voice continues:
"The 'gods' are afraid of true death, and they have created a kind of existence called the 'Grim Reaper' in an attempt to weave a 'dead world' corresponding to the 'crops'."
"But all of this requires the power of real death."
"The 'gods' are constantly planting crops in an attempt to harvest one such soul."
"Alright."
"I'm done."
"Maybe you have to ask, what's the use of me saying this."
"It didn't work."
"I can't defeat the Demon Gods, and I can't influence the fate of anyone in the Prison of Sin."
"Yes, I know the power of 'God' so much that the only thing I can do is ...... There is only one thing. β
A line of small, burning blood-colored letters popped up on the Book of the Dead:
"The curse has been set off once and for all."
"The current curse is starting to take its toll on the scepter."
Wu Xiaode was a little surprised.
This curse...... Not directed at me?
Turns out it's against the scepter?
I saw the scepter tremble, and it was transformed back into three items:
White lizards, black snakes, rubies.
The difference is that both the white lizard and the black snake appear to be a little languid.
Only the ruby shimmered in the ruby.
Wisps of light flew out of the lizards and black snakes, submerged into the rubies, and flowed out like water, forming a milky white glow in mid-air.
"Take it."
"This is the origin of the 'god' to exert the power of the divine system, its origin is unknown, but it can support the entire magic system of the Holy Sect."
"It's ridiculous, maybe this is the real divine power, our 'god' just stole its power."
"Now I'll steal it and give it to you."
"If you're a fool, you can give it to 'God' again, and if you're a little smart, you'll know what to do."
"That's all it takes."
"As the Pope, he wants to steal the key power of 'God' to enslave sentient beings at the last moment of his life, so as to resist the cruelty of 'God'."
"Am I ridiculous?"
At this point, the Pope's voice was cut off.
Wu Xiaode couldn't help but sigh.
The Pope killed too many people to be forgiven at all, but it was impossible to imagine that he would do so at the last moment of his life.
However, this thing ......
What's the use?
Wu Xiaode stretched out his hand.
The white light suddenly flew over and coiled around his hand.
The Book of the Dead suddenly opened, and lines of small ice crystal characters quickly appeared:
"You've got the Divine Origin Seed."
"It's an extremely rare thing, and when you advance your skills, you can blend them in and make your skills stronger!"
"Do you want to allow this book to be bookmarked?"
- What else does this say?
"Allowed." Wu Xiaode said.
I saw that the white holy light suddenly flew into the Book of the Dead, and stayed on the same page with the bone dragon pupil.
The next second.
The lizard, the snake, and the gem fused back together to become the scepter again.
The difference is.
Now it feels less mysterious and unfathomable.
