Chapter 309: Reunion
Esther walked boredly in St. Paul's Cathedral, looking at the hurried monks beside him. Most of them looked at them with doubt, but none of them came to inquire about it, for when the Son Martin brought Esther into St. Paul's Cathedral, he was personally received by the cardinal.
It has been three days since Esther came here, Pope San Antonio has been in retreat, and Esther can also feel that the rich force of light has been hovering in the depths of St. Paul's Cathedral, the breath that goes straight to heaven and earth is indeed daunting, even with East's current strength, he dare not underestimate it, he can only wait quietly.
Martin had disappeared since he had arranged for East, and according to the monks who took care of Easter's life, the Son was always elusive, and no one could fully grasp his whereabouts, except the Pope, of course.
East stood outside the main entrance of the cathedral, leaning against the massive white marble columns, his gaze looking down.
Suddenly, he turned his head sharply, and saw a decadent-looking Martin coming over with some distraction. His face was full of sloppy short beards, his hair was disheveled, and his monk's robes were crumpled as if he hadn't been washed in a long time. What puzzled East the most was that Martin's eyes were hollow, like a walking dead without a soul, and even East didn't respond even to calling him a few times.
East's face changed slightly, he blocked Martin's way, and then asked in a low voice, "What's wrong, how did you get like this?"
Martin looked up blankly, and there was a sudden glint in his empty eyes, and Ister looked at it. A faint touch of gold could be seen flashing under Martin's eyes, just as he wanted to take a closer look. An emaciated cardinal suddenly appeared in front of Easter, blocking his view of Martin.
"Dear guests. The Pope is invited!"
Esther glanced thoughtfully at the cardinal, then at Martin without a trace, and he suppressed the confusion in his heart and followed the cardinal towards the depths of St. Paul's Cathedral.
"I don't know what's wrong with the Holy Son, I see that he looks like he is not giving up. East asked with a smile.
"Maybe the Holy Son and the Pope have just discussed the secret method of light, and they can't extricate themselves for a while. The cardinal replied, "The secret method of light is all about enlightenment, so don't worry, three days at most." The Son will be restored to his original state. ”
Esther nodded, no more words, he clearly felt the agitated Force fluctuations in the cardinal's body, it was clear that this was not the answer Esther wanted.
Knocking softly on the door, the cardinal made a gesture of please and stood respectfully outside the door, and Esther thanked him and walked in.
The house is very simple, the wooden table and chairs in the center are very conspicuous, especially an old man with a serene demeanor sipping tea comfortably, so that Esther focused all his eyes on the old man as soon as he entered the door.
"How. Is there something dirty on my face, old man?" San Antonio asked with a smile as he looked at the somewhat stunned Easter.
"Hello, I'm Eastervan, and it's an honor to meet you!" Esther came back to his senses, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart. Then he sat down opposite the old man.
"I am San Antonio, the Pope of the Holy See of Light!"
San Antonio introduced himself, and he personally poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Easter: "Taste it." You can't drink such fragrant tea in ordinary places. ”
"Thank you!"
Esther picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Good tea." I just met the Son. He looked strange, as if he had been stimulated by something. Did you know about it?"
"Martin!"
The Pope stood up, and Easter's gaze suddenly froze, judging from the Pope's movements, he did not look at all like an old man who was about to die. Even if the strength is extraordinary, some of the actions and habits that accompany age cannot be completely changed. And the Pope's mere act of standing up made Esther feel the imperceptible vitality in his rickety body.
San Antonio stretched out his right hand, and the golden ripples spread out from his palm, and Esther looked closely, and could see that there were familiar pictures in the golden ripples, which were the images of the invasion of advanced civilizations. Esther thought to himself, sure enough, the Pope already knew this picture of the future.
"This is what the Dark Continent will look like in a few years. Pope San Antonio said helplessly, "The invasion of the higher civilizations, the Dark Continent has been destroyed, and all the strength of resistance has been wiped out. ”
"Yes, so we're going to ...... back"
Before Esther could finish speaking, San Antonio interrupted him and said, "So, we need to know the current affairs and know how to advance and retreat." Rather than be destroyed, it is better to take refuge earlier, and only in this way can you exchange for a glimmer of life for all the creatures in the Dark Continent. ”
"What?"
Easter's face changed, and he stood up suddenly: "Lord Pope, do you know what you're talking about? You want to surrender? Become a slave of a foreign race? As the Pope of the Holy See of Light, do you want to watch the humans on the Dark Continent being enslaved and killed? This is the method you came up with?"
San Antonio was not angry at Easter's angry questioning, he sat down slowly, took a sip of tea, then looked at Easter and asked, "So, what do you think?"
"Now, we should unite all the forces that can be united and be ready to meet the enemy together. Since there is a higher civilization, there will definitely be an organization like the Holy See Inquisition in the vast universe, and the weak races should be protected, and all we have to do is to hold on until they come. Esther said categorically.
"Hey, Inquisition?"
San Antonio sneered: "I believe that in the vast universe, the law of the jungle still exists, and it is even more cruel. And the Dark Continent is just one of the most inconspicuous dimensional planets, I will not pin my life and death on the assumption that there is no future, I want to seize the real opportunity in front of me. ”
"In that case, then we don't have much to talk about. Esther turned around angrily. He wanted to get out of the room, but when he walked to the door. A golden ripple suddenly appeared out of thin air, and Esther snorted coldly. The right fist has been blasted out.
"Boom!"
A loud cannon roared through the room, and Esther stared in amazement at his bloody right fist and the intact golden ripples. He turned away, stared at San Antonio and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"You are the heir of the true God, not only do you have divine blood, but more importantly, your physical body has been transformed to perfection. You have the most perfect genes, but you are a good material. San Antonio's smile grew brighter and brighter, "Good material that can help me reincarnate." ”
He finished. The big dry hand grabbed it violently, and a huge golden palm appeared in the narrow room, and then it slammed towards Easter.
"Get out!"
Easter's arms burst out at the same time, and his fists were already glittering with Force light, and then both fists slammed into the golden palm. For a moment, the Force overflowed, and burst out with terrifying power. The house was overwhelmed and collapsed. And Easter's calf was smashed by the golden palm and sunk deep into the ground.
The cardinal, who had been standing outside the door, had already flashed aside, and he suddenly opened his hands, and a milky white light curtain sprinkled down, enveloping the entire battlefield.
"Let's get caught. Otherwise. I can't guarantee that your parents' lives won't be in danger. San Antonio smiled and waved his big hand, and the huge golden palms in the void smashed down fiercely.
East sneered, "Just because you want to catch them too?"
"Hahaha, keep your eyes open and give me a closer look. San Antonio said with a wave of his hand, and the golden ripples reappeared.
Easter's pupils contracted suddenly. He only felt the blood boiling all over his body, and the scarlet blood began to flow on his body. In the picture are Raven and Angel Welter, who are firmly nailed to a large cross. The blood-colored chain that pierced their chests was like a blunt knife, slicing through Easter's torso. Even in his heart, the feeling of pain made Esther's anger uncontrollable.
"Die!"
A terrible roar. Visible ripples of air blasted into San Antonio like cannonballs. Esther then summoned the bipolar and grasped the hilt of the greatsword with both hands. In one step, he rushed to the Pope's approach, and the giant sword was raised high and fell fiercely.
"You really want them to die!"
The Pope did not dodge, but the prophecy had already been used in this sentence, and Esther felt a heavy hammer hit him in the chest, smashing him backwards and flying out. A mouthful of blood spurted out!
Esther fell to his knees on one knee, and the bipolar had been forcibly canceled from the summons under the massive impact. East stared at San Antonio viciously, and finally he spoke, "What the hell do you want?"
"It's easy, I want you to be a family of three!" San Antonio smiled and flashed behind Easter, and then four golden spikes appeared in his hand at some point, and the next moment he stabbed Easter's wrists and ankles.
Esther screamed, and four spikes floated into the air, causing Easter's body to float as well.
The golden portal reappeared, and San Antonio stepped in excitedly!
"Now, you can have a good chat. San Antonio looked at the three people side by side and said, "When I drain the divine blood, I will be reborn with your young and energetic body, and at that time, even if the entire Dark Continent falls, I will have the ability to protect myself." Haha......" San Antonio laughed insolently, and his figure faded away.
Angelina looked at her child with teary eyes: "East, my child, haven't you received the divine message we have buried in the divine blood? This old fellow has absorbed so much of our divine blood, it is impossible to cover up all the divine texts. ”
Esther looked at his parents, whom he had always dreamed of seeing, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer, and as soon as he exercised a little, the pain in his heart at the wound made him gasp.
"Of course I saw it, so I'm here!" Esther barely managed to squeeze out a smile, "I'm here to get you out!"
"Silly boy!" Raven looked at his son with regret, "The old guy's abilities are very strange, and the golden spikes he refined actually possess the power of imprisoned laws. Don't talk about you, it's just that none of us can break free. You...... You're so confused. ”
"Don't worry, I won't take the risk easily without complete preparation. Esther said with a deep breath. "The guys from the tech union have finally done something that looks in the past. ”
Angelina just wanted to say something. But his eyes widened suddenly, because he found that Easter's body actually began to swell, the skin on the surface seemed to be detached from the body, and it began to swell outward, and East's face showed a trace of pain, and then, the speed of expansion became faster and faster, Raven could no longer calm down, he had no idea what was wrong with Easter's body. If this continues, Esther is likely to explode and die.
"Kid, what are you doing, stop!" Angelina screamed.
Suddenly, there was a piercing cracking sound, and a crack suddenly opened on the top of Esther's head, and then the gap grew larger and larger, spreading from the top of his head to his forehead, face, neck, and chest.
After a while, the swollen skin quickly dried and flattened. And Easter's body turned out to be like a poisonous snake with a layer of skin. What was even more incomprehensible to Revan and Angelina was that the wounds on Easter's limbs had healed, and although the four golden spikes were still nailed to the cross, they were nailed to a human skin that had lost its vitality.
Esther fell to the ground. This is a new ability that appears in the final stage of the transformation of one's own body in the Eternal Night Cemetery.
"Metamorphosis!"
This ability was obtained by depriving a native creature of the eternal night. Metamorphosis can only be used once in a lifetime, and it allows the user to remove the skin. And transfer all the injuries to the epidermis. It can be called the most perfect means of escape, but after the metamorphosis is successful. Esther will have a period of weakness of nearly half an hour. He could only sit quietly on the floor.
"Child, don't be in a daze. Hurry up and open the life pod, and we will infuse you with all the divine blood!" Raven said suddenly, "Rather than cheapen that old bastard, we would prefer to hand over the inheritance of power to you." ”
East stood up, looked at his parents and asked, "Will this hurt you?"
"Injuries are inevitable, but we're tired of living on top for a long time. After the loss of divine blood, we will lose all power, and we are just an ordinary couple, so don't worry. ”
Easter shook his head and said, "If anything happens to you, I will never be left alone in the world." Easter's words were categorical, and Raven and Angelina couldn't help but be stunned, and then could only reply with a wry smile.
"Well, we'll leave a drop of divine blood to keep us alive. Now cut off this abominable chain. ”
Ista nodded, and although his body was weak, his ability to manipulate the Force was still there. Esther floated into the air, first coming to Raven's approach, and the Celestial Eye Divine Might was activated, and it could be seen that the chains were densely covered with miniature Force arrays. East frowned slightly, he tried to stretch out a trace of Force power to drill into a Force array, but unexpectedly, a thick blood-colored flame suddenly erupted from the chain, and Raven couldn't help but snort, obviously not feeling good.
"That old bastard is really a talent. ”
Esther said hatefully, he floated between his parents, and then reached out of his hands and shook them in the void, only to see two large hands made of the Force appear out of thin air, firmly gripping the chains.
"It might hurt a little, Mom, Dad, hold on!"
Raven and Angel Wella, who called Easter "Daddy, Mom", cried with joy, and the two nodded vigorously, Esther suddenly exerted force, and the surrounding Force quickly condensed on the Force's big hand, and the Force was pervasive, and it instantly drilled into all the Force arrays. Destroy it completely.
The blood-colored flames burned wildly, and Raven and Angel Weina frowned, but they didn't say a word. I carried it hard.
"Click!"
The two chains snapped, and the chains that remained in Raven's bodies turned into black blood after losing the support of the Force array. Esther threw the chains to the ground as he turned, and the Force's big hand split in two, pulling out the eight golden spikes.
Catching the crumbling two, Angel Wina was already excited to hold East tightly in her arms, and Raven also patted her son's shoulder hard.
"Without further ado, the first task now is to fuse our son with divine blood!" Raven said as she pulled away Angelina.
"Dad, since you're all right, why don't you ......"
"That old stray hair has planted some unknown toxin in our body, and our body has shown rejection of the Force, so the divine blood has no effect on us. Quick, get into the life pod!"
East was still uneasy and said, "What if he comes back?"
"Silly son, do you think it's easy to build such a plane palace, every time you enter and exit, it costs a huge amount of energy, even if he is a pope, he can't afford it, not to mention that he has entered it twice in a row in the past few days, so he will definitely not come in a short time. Hurry up, time is precious!I even suspect that Lao Zamao has already come into contact with a higher civilization, and that unknown toxin is definitely not something that can be developed by the technology of the Dark Continent. ”
Esther didn't hesitate when he heard this, opened the life pod and got inside.
"Anqi, just leave a drop of divine blood to sustain life energy, and give the rest to our son!"
"Yes, I understand!"
After the two finished speaking, they suddenly pressed their hands on the life cabin, and then golden blood overflowed from their palms!
"Thanks to this thing, the user can directly absorb the divine blood, leaving us with a lot of trouble. Raven couldn't help but laugh.
"If Lao Zamao knew that there would be such a day, would he have cried to death? Angelina giggled, clearly in a good mood.
"I don't know if I cry to death or not, but Mom and Dad, I'll beat him to death!" Esther's voice came out of the life pod. (To be continued......)
