In the City of Light, the Cathedral of Light, an ancient blood ritual is underway. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Pope Auston bathes and changes clothes, dressed in full costume, and stands on the large altar in the center of the church.

In front of him were nine women dressed in white clothes.

All of them have perfect faces, impeccable, pure eyes that shimmer with piety, a small waist gauze that is not in a hand, and a graceful figure is faintly visible under the cover of a long robe.

At the feet of these women is a magic circle drawn by Mithril. This ancient array exudes an aura of mystery.

Under the effect of the surrounding circle of high-quality magic crystals, bursts of light pierced out, and strings of obscure characters floated out and dissipated above the high hall.

Auston holds an ornate staff in his hand. Energy flows through the large crystals at the tip of the staff.

The entire surrounding air was filled with a huge and rich aura of energy.

Alston bowed down and said something in his mouth:

"Great God of Light, our Father in heaven, may all men honor your name as God. Thy kingdom come, to save the sufferings of the world, and to deliver us from evil. For all is yours for the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever!"

"The Limec Continent, accept the shroud of your national light, and the believers are peaceful. Today, demons are raging and the world is wreaking havoc, and believers are in dire straits. ”

"Today, your most devout believer, Auston, offers you the most pious and pure holy woman, to serve you, to pray to you, that you may come down and deliver us from evil. ”

"Today, your most devout believers, in need of your salvation, the greatest God of Light, our heavenly Father, send down miracles to punish those terrible demons!"

With the sound of this vicissitudes of prayer, the whole hall reverberated with a peaceful music, which made people's hearts more pious.

The nine holy women bowed down with Pope Auston with pious expressions on their faces, and their mouths were also the most pious prayers.

And the mysterious magic array, in the bursts of silver light flashed, "poof!", a spark appeared, enveloping the entire altar in a sea of fire.

As a ninth-level peak archmage, coupled with the protection of the Pope's crown and the staff in his hand, Auston Pope's body instantly formed a light yellow energy shield, separating those flames.

As for the nine holy women, they did not use any magic power, let the flames reach their bodies, the light veils on their bodies burned instantly, and not only did they not have the slightest painful expression on their faces, but their faces were full of fanaticism, as if heaven was beckoning to them.

The Holy Maiden has an extremely high status in the Holy See. They are chosen from birth.

Normally, tens of thousands of baby girls will be selected from all the followers of the Illuminati to become candidates for the Holy Maiden.

Whoever chooses a baby girl as a candidate for sainthood is an extremely grand honor for the family, and will be cared for by the Holy See.

However, for these baby girls, it is not a blessing.

Because, from the moment they were chosen, whether they could become saints or not, they were destined to be only people of the gods of light for the rest of their lives - which means that they could not marry in this life, and could only live the life of nuns with few desires.

Therefore, since the last few hundred years, very few children of nobles have been elected as saints.

As long as he is a person with a little power, he can't bear to let his child end up in such a tragic end.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the fact that miracles do not come.

It is said that in the past the number of saints was much higher. After each selection, a miracle will come and take these saints away.

Moreover, there are often angels who come down, and these angels are the saints who were previously consecrated.

Under all these miracles, the nobles also rushed to pay tribute to their daughters.

Times have changed. There have been no miracles for a long time, and people's piety has decreased.

...... Besides, the 10,000 people selected have been cultivated since childhood.

When they are nine years old, the archbishops of the Holy See examine the little girls in terms of appearance, conduct, and perception of the gods, and select the best nine of them.

Then, there was a grand ceremony, and the Pope himself crowned them at the altar, and the nine men became saints.

The saints and the saints are all brainwashed from an early age.

In their opinion, the heavens and the earth are big, and only the God of Light is the greatest.

And they are all handmaidens who serve the God of Light.

Being able to burn one's body at the ritual and walk to the place of the god of light is the most ideal destination for the saint's life.

Therefore, no one forced them, even if the flames were added, they did not feel the slightest pain, but were more religious.

Only Auston knew that the madness of these women was directly related to the "holy water" they drank before going to the altar.

Otherwise, no matter how religious people are, they will not be able to stop the flames.

With the breath of flames, the light of the magic array became more and more hot and dazzling.

Pope Auston's face flashed a sickly flush, and streams of life-rich energy frantically poured into the staff in his hand.

With the blessing of the staff, the light of the magic array reached its peak in an instant.

The tall roof of the church began to flash with lightning bolts, which became more and more intense.

With a click, a crack in the space slowly opened, and bursts of yellow light flowed out, covering the entire hall with a layer of gold, and at the same time, a peaceful music sounded.

Shrouded in golden light and set against the backdrop of peaceful music, even the least of those who believe in the gods can become religious.

Under the altar were hundreds of core disciples of the Bright Sect.

Even though they are core disciples, it is impossible for them to all be pious in their hearts without miracles descending for hundreds of years.

What's more, in a battle with the demons, the two angels were easily beheaded. And the demons, on the contrary, were killed by the puppets of the Machine Empire, and all of this had already collapsed the faith in their hearts.

But now, tears of remorse were left in the eyes of these people.

Any element of doubt in the heart has been completely extinguished, and the seeds of faith and piety have taken root and sprouted and flourished.

Immediately after, two beautiful angels stepped out of the spatial crack.

With a height of about ten meters, perfect to impeccable facial features and figures, and three pairs of white wings behind them symbolize their identity - Seraphim.

The strength of the angels is distributed from high to low according to the number of wings behind them. Seraphim, compared to the two two-winged angels on the banks of the Holy Light River, is two levels stronger.

When they appeared, a huge coercion suddenly came.

Everyone, including Pope Auston, fell to the ground and did not even dare to raise their heads.

As for the nine holy women, they had already burned to ashes the moment the angel appeared.

"Messenger of the Great God of Light, save your devout and suffering believers!" said Pope Auston in a trembling voice.

Seraphim stretched out his hand and put it on Auston's head, the yellow light flickered, and after a moment the sweet but emotionless voice rang out:

"All heretics should be exterminated. No matter how powerful a demon is, he will not be an opponent of a great god. Believers, go and fight with confidence, for the great gods will be with you!"

After saying these words, the figures of the two seraphim gradually disappeared, the holy yellow light and peaceful music gradually dissipated, and the spatial rift was closed, as if nothing had happened.

However, Auston, a powerful ninth-level peak magician, knew that everything just now was definitely not his fantasy.

The Pope's ancient testament, at the critical moment of the Holy See's life and death, can adopt this ancient blood sacrifice method to get in touch with the God of Light.

Pope Auston knew that only the Pope was qualified to preside over this blood sacrifice. And the price of the blood sacrifice, in addition to paying for the nine holy maidens, also burned the vitality of the host's two hundred years of life.

Therefore, even at the moment when the demons swept half the continent, Auston would rather organize a human alliance to fight than perform this blood sacrifice ritual - of course, it was also because he underestimated the strength of the demons and had the idea of performing the blood sacrifice ritual at the most critical moment.

Now, the Blood Sacrifice Ritual was over, and Auston could clearly feel that most of his life force had burned down.

This made him even crazier.

"Haha, finally an angel has arrived! This is a truly great angel! Machine Empire, you forced me to burn my life force for 200 years, so be prepared to perish! And the whole Holy See will remember me Auston, the great savior. ”

Auston's eyes were bloodshot, and there was no trace of the image of a kind old man?

...... Receiving the will of the angels, the Holy See of Light began to actively prepare for the war as if it had been beaten with chicken blood.

The Rose Knights have perished, and now the main force of the Holy See, along with the Knights of Light, the Imperial Wizard Column, and the most powerful Holy Cathar Knights, the Holy Cathar Knights, were hit hard by the demonized dragon monsters in the Demon War, losing nearly half of the strong.

Despite this, the Holy Cathar Knights are still the most powerful force in the Holy See of Light—not one of them.

Even the Knights of Light and the Imperial Wizard Column can only be relegated to the back.

Outside the City of Light, the Tophos Magic Teleportation Array ushered in its busiest day.

The elite armies of the major human empires are all gathered here, lined up in sequence, and are ready to start teleporting.

In this battle, victory or defeat is related to the vital interests of all royal families. If you win, you can recapture your own territory, and then divide the mechanical empire, and restore order on the continent, and if you lose, all human countries, including the Bright Empire and the Holy See of Light, will lose their spheres of influence, and in this case, it will also lose the meaning of retaining elite troops.

Therefore, no country plays tricks, it sends its most elite troops. Strive to deal a fatal blow to the Machine Empire, and strive to show their strength in the battle of Kaiseria, and then obtain greater benefits when carving up the Machine Empire.
