Chapter 6: I Want Them All (Ask for Follow-up)
"What kind of magic is this, Lord Saint?"
Doris looked at the crown suspended above Joshua's head at this time, and a powerful sense of oppression swept through her heart, as if the thing in front of her was so noble that Doris did not dare to look directly at it.
"I don't know, it's a magic that is not recorded in the Papal Palace."
As a qualified saintess, Lilith had read most of the texts in the Papal Palace, and there were no such magical records in them, but this was not surprising.
As the first group of gods among the gods, the goddess of light mastered the divine arts naturally cannot be completely understood by mortals.
At the same time, Lilith could also feel the restlessness of her Brilliant Holy Sword, which was enough to show that Joshua's divine skills were definitely not under the Brilliant Holy Sword.
With such a strong divine skill, I think he will soon be converted to the teachings of the goddess.
Lilith knew that the more powerful the magic, the more infected, and when Joshua fully mastered this power, he should be able to become a loyal servant of the goddess.
……
[The divine power of the goddess of light is activated, and Joshua feels that he has come to the top of a mountain, and the world seems to be trampled underfoot, but he understands that this is just an inferior phantom. 】
The voice of the text of fate brought Joshua's consciousness back to him, and he opened his eyes to find himself sitting on a throne at the top of the mountain, and he looked out to see the earthly kings prostrate themselves in worship to him, and beside him was the apparition of a woman.
"Choose."
The woman's voice came, and she raised her hand slightly, and saw six rays of light coiled around Joshua, and it was only when the light faded that Joshua could see the essence of the light.
It was six crowns of different shapes.
Choose? Do I have to choose between them?
Joshua didn't know what to choose, and looked at the tiaras, hoping that the text of fate would give him enough hints.
[It was the crown of arrogant white jade, which forgave the sins of others with words, and this ridiculous arrogance made the truly proud Joshua gag. 】
Joshua looked at the white jade crown and didn't understand the meaning of the forgiveness of sins, but he understood that there was a great power in it.
[That's a stupid glass crown, giving the fool a sacrament with flesh and blood, but I don't know that the fool is still just a fool who eats the flesh and blood of God. 】
This time it's the delicate and transparent crown, but the description given in the fate text is still obscure, making Joshua shout for the Riddler to get out.
Keeping his eyes on the few remaining crowns, Joshua could only perceive the key words, such as forgiveness, communion, and vague words like the book of Proverbs.
"Choose."
The apparition of the woman inquired again, and any of the authority she threw out was a gift from God, but the person in front of her was so hesitant, it was really disrespectful to God.
But bear with me for now.
The host of the text of fate, his position will change the course of the whole world, whether it is salvation or the abyss, which is a future that no god can observe, which is why the goddess of light did not decide for herself what magic to give to Joshua.
Even if it is impossible to observe Joshua's future, his choice will reveal a corner of fate that is enough for the gods to be in the woman's expectation...... Six crowns headed toward Joshua at the same time.
!
[The arrogance of the gods is always like this, taking things that are disgusting to dogs to send others, but this time the calculation is wrong, Joshua is not inferior to arrogance alone, he never chooses one but all of them. 】
"It would be nice if you could put it another way."
Although Joshua complained about the words of the Destiny Text, he and the Destiny Text came to a conclusion that the so-called "choice" is just a child's decision, and of course the adult "wants everything".
Joshua hadn't forgotten what had happened before, he should have activated his divine power with the help of Lilith, and the moment of choice was in front of him.
In Joshua's opinion, this was just the reward of the goddess of light for his prayers over the years, and everyone was an adult, so stop playing with those vain things.
The leader gives you everything you want, and everyone is paid to do things, so you don't have to say those polite words.
More crucially, Joshua felt like he could accommodate them.
This kind of unfounded self-confidence is probably arrogance.
Joshua thought, maybe the fate text wasn't entirely wrong, he did have an arrogant heart, and he thought he could carry six crowns alone.
Six crowns converged on Joshua's head, then exploded to pieces with a loud bang.
But that's not the end of it.
Some fragments of the crown were suspended in the air and began to combine, and as they continued to be spliced, a three-layered crown appeared in the air, white jade, glass, jade, agate, gold, amber, ...... They may seem scattered but beautiful.
On the base of the tiara, six gemstones of different colors are set on it, only one of these stones shines with obsidian brilliance.
"Sure enough, I can't see through it."
The woman said this, and then her body vanished in the sunlight like an early morning mist, and with her the surroundings of the place.
The mountains dissipate, the kings dissipate, the crowns dissipate, the heavens and the earth dissipate.
Joshua sat alone on the throne, crowned with thorns on his head, and the words echoed in his ears.
"We are waiting for you in the future."
Future? In what place?
Joshua opened his eyes, he was still in the church, and the look of surprise on Lilith's face had not yet dissipated, as if she had just seen something incredible.
[Feeling the incredulity in the eyes of these mortals, a strong sense of superiority occupied Joshua's mind, and this refreshing feeling was as refreshing as the morning of the New Year in new underwear.] 】
It's over, and the condition of this plug-in is getting more and more serious.
If the previous fate article was just a villain painting style, then the current fate text seems to have added some "comic" attributes.
What a weird metaphor for the new year's new panties?
"Mr. Joshua, you ......"
"Well, I already understand what kind of magic I've gained."
Of course, only part of it.
Joshua stroked the sigil on the back of his hand, the six divine spells he could only feel and use one of them with his ability at this time, but it was enough.
It is a power as deep as obsidian, and although it comes from light, it is essentially the power of darkness.
It's called ...... The power of forgiveness.
"Is that Father Joshua there? I have something on my side that I want to repent. ”
At this moment, the door of the church was pushed open, and it was a thin middle-aged man.
"I'm here."
Joshua opened the door of the confessional room on the side, which really means that Cao Cao Cao has arrived, and excellent materials have been delivered to the door.
