"Amen."

Whatever choice he had to make, York didn't forget to do his daily tasks.

After all, the accumulation of 0.5 points is also a very considerable amount.

As the saying goes, he can become a god by doing daily tasks every day for decades.

Coupled with the appearance of doing some tasks, the pace of becoming a god is even faster.

"It's a pity that the world seems to be going to explode, I don't know if it's an illusion......

Yorks sat alone in the sacred St. Peter's Basilica, and while his mind was storming, he added the 0.5 attribute points he had just received to the health of 200.

Health is necessarily related to life-saving.

So he's also looking forward to what changes he will bring to himself after his health breaks through two hundred.

[Success]

[HP 191.5 to 192]

"It's only eight o'clock." Yorkes subconsciously glanced at his personal panel, and his heart was quite satisfied.

However, this somewhat satisfying state of mind did not last long.

The main thing is that the world doesn't seem to give him a chance to develop slowly.

"Well, the old man really said something, like the end of the world......" York's gaze retracted from his personal panel, subconsciously looked at the image of Jesus, and got up in disappointment and walked to the wide central aisle.

"If you come, you will be safe, first listen to why this person is me, and then it's not too late to think about the next step."

York's inner voice fell, and he disappeared into St. Peter's Basilica.

………………………………………………

There are only two days left before the inauguration, and if you are more realistic, it should be two days and one night.

These two and a half days are fast for some, but they have become very slow for others.

Especially for York.

This time passes very slowly, very slowly.

On the first day, he didn't do anything, he just cooperated with other people's work.

If you wear a bishop's robe that has been custom-made, it is not appropriate.

The bishop's robe is still a little different after all, compared to the robe worn by the priest, the material is completely upgraded, and some details have become more detailed.

Symbolizing the color of the bishop, the purple edge itself is made of a special material, with some special effects, which is equivalent to a protection outside, similar to a hundred poisons, which can avoid being invaded by evil spirits.

This is the difference between upper and lower classes.

So much so that Yorkes didn't feel anything when he wore it, and the material of this robe was so good that he felt that it was not bad to be a bishop for the first time.

After confirming the robes, including some accessories, Yorks began to rehearse for the inauguration ceremony under the guidance of others.

Yes, he still had to rehearse how to move, after all, it was his first time.

This is already okay, and the things that need to be done later are even more troublesome.

For example, prior to the inauguration, Yorkes had to attend a priesthood promotion ceremony, which was presided over by Bishop Gabriel, who took his place.

That is, he was to be baptized and baptized by Gabriel.

As for the process of baptism, it is relatively simple, and generally speaking, baptism is generally carried out in conjunction with the ritual of baptism.

The so-called baptism is one of the most basic sacraments of the Church, and the practice is no different from that of previous lives, and in general it only represents a symbolic meaning.

It symbolizes the cleansing of sin and the rebirth of believers with Christ......

St. Peter's Basilica, a huge place, was filled with relevant clergy, bishops, priests, including Irene.

And he sat in the presence of Gabriel and was baptized by Gabriel.

"In the name of your Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, I baptize you according to the rules of the Holy Church."

Gabriel looked at the man in front of him, with a hint of relief on his face, sprinkled the holy water in his hand on him, and smiled.

"He who believes and is baptized will be saved, but he who does not believe will be condemned......

York bowed his head slightly, silently accepting in the presence of everyone.

……

After doing this, Gabriel looked at the man, and then proceeded to the final step of the oil ceremony.

The so-called oil is also one of the more important sacraments, which means that the baptized person has received the gift of the Lord.

The clergyman next to him held a basin in front of Gabriel, and Gabriel reached out and dipped a little of the holy oil in the basin and smeared it on York's forehead.

"I have blessed you with the Holy Spirit of Christ, and have anointed you with the holy oil of our Savior, Jesus Christ."

The bishop, who had retired, looked at his successor and smiled and blessed him, in the presence of many clergy.

"May the Lord Jesus Christ, our King and God, with His Holy Spirit, grant you the grace of the Holy Spirit, that from the day of this anointing you may have eternal life and eternal eternity."

York took a deep breath and closed his eyes to accept the blessing of the man in front of him.

The tranquil cathedral, the scene of the baptist and the baptized is reflected in the eyes of all.

The inheritance of the church was completed at this moment, and Yorkes formally accepted the authority and responsibility of bishop.

Only the inauguration remains.

………………………………………………

The next day.

Yorkie became a true freeman, and he began to take Erin around like an invisible man, gossiping with other acquaintances everywhere, without any nervousness or excitement.

But York, after all, found that more and more believers came to the Vatican to attend the inauguration of the new bishop.

This can be seen from St. Peter's Square alone.

The space that can fill tens of thousands of people is already showing signs of crowding.

This made York, who was standing on the second floor of the side building next to him, watching in a trance, saw a scene from his past life.

That's what the major stations look like during the Spring Festival.

In one sentence, it is that the past is full of dense human heads.

"It seems that they are also curious about who the new bishop really is."

Voices appear in your ears.

It was Gabriel's exclamation: "It reminds me of the past, when I was promoted to bishop, there were so many people. ”

Yorks glanced at the old man, who was dressed in a very simple pitch-black robe, with his hands behind his back, and his face was relaxed.

Obviously, retirement has made this old man's state of mind more comfortable.

"You're retired, who's going to take your place?"

As soon as these words came out, Erin, who had been following beside her, subconsciously looked over.

"Cecil, he's been idle lately anyway." Gabriel looked unconcerned, noticed the gaze, glanced at Erin, and after seeing her eyes dodge, he smiled and continued.

"Someone will deal with it anyway, you don't have to worry about it."

"So can you tell me, what is your reason for choosing me?" York sighed.

"Why just me? Gabriel. ”

"Huh."

Gabriel then looked at the believers in the square and smiled, "York, you'll find out tomorrow." ”

As he spoke, the old man subconsciously narrowed his eyes, remembering those photos and speculations.

Thinking of this, Gabriel looked at York, and out of the corner of his twitching eye, with a mysterious smile on the armrest behind his back, slowly left the place.

Idiot...... It's so different from other clergy, I still can't figure it out.

As the old man walked, he left his heart in his heart, leaving a word before leaving farther and farther.

"York, you are special, think more about the difference between you and others, and you will understand why it is only you."

The voice fell, and Yorks stared at Gabriel's back as he strolled away, subconsciously squinting his eyes.

"What's different from everyone else?"

At this moment, York suddenly figured it all out.

If so, find out what makes him different from other clergy.

Presumably, the power of the clergy always needs to be bound to the church, such as God, in order to exert supernatural power.

And he ...... It is the power that starts from itself, after all, he can appreciate the essential changes that these forces bring to him.

The difference between the two is that the other clergy rely on the power of God, which is his own power and is not limited at all.

Even if he quits the church and is not religious, he can still use it, and even if he is no longer a clergyman, he can still choose any church to sit and pray, and he can still get the reward of a fixed task.

"Is that so?"

Yorkes couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, knowing that the traces of those battles were destined to be hidden from the church.

"It doesn't matter, there's only one last step left."

Yorks thought to himself and walked in the opposite direction to Gabriel.

"Let's go, Irene."

"Okay."

Erin followed and glanced back behind her.

The old man's back had been farther and farther away until it was gone.

She seemed to know what the bishop meant, and now in her eyes, the priest in front of her was surrounded by a layer of white and flawless holy light.

………………………………………………

Day 3.

With all eyes on it, the inauguration began.

When the first rays of morning light shine through the huge stained glass windows of St. Peter's Basilica and reflect on the marble floor, like the hand of God gently brushing over this holy church,

Believers, including passers-by who had come to watch the ceremony, journalists, acquaintances who knew York, and so on, had already gathered in the square, inside and outside the church, bustling to look at the screen set up in the center of the square.

At this time, everything in St. Peter's Basilica is being broadcast live on the screen.

Painted murals, sculptures and resplendent decorations shimmer in the morning light.

The rows of benches inside were already filled with high-ranking clergy and some dignitaries.

As the camera zoomed in, Gregory, as the Pope, was already standing on the altar, wearing a white papal robe with a calm face.

At this moment, when the people sitting on the row of benches to watch the ceremony moved, not only the believers in the Vatican, but also believers from other countries watched the live broadcast, and their hearts moved.

"It's coming!"

“……”

John Wick, Robert, and some of the old believers who couldn't bear the long journey in Pluto Church were all attentive, with a hint of invisible excitement on their faces.

"This guy ......"

Old Mike, who was in one room, had stopped studying day and night, staring at the screen without blinking.

Behind him, Todd and the others were standing.

……

"Hehe, I thought he would be out of place,"

The church of St. Luz, which has long been filled with many believers, the old priest Luz, who is on the verge of retirement in the deepest part, looked at the screen and smiled.

"It turned out to be a good fit......"

……

Thailand, a strictly guarded hospital.

"Mom, is Father York out?"

Saxon, who had just finished the examination, was limping into the ward with the support of the medical staff.

Inside, Ms. Camille and Emilia, who was still wearing some bandages, sat there, staring intently at the screen on the wall.

……

A gathering place for several small towns, a supermarket.

At this point, some people were looking at the screen hanging on it, their eyes wide open.

"Wait, isn't this the one?"

"How?"

The supermarket cashier who was about to settle the bill, including the boss who was standing next to help, subconsciously followed and looked over.

The result is also synchronized and stunned in place.

This made the nearby residents who were waiting for the settlement look confused.

"What's the matter with you guys?"

As he spoke, they also looked at the screen hanging above, and then froze in place as well.

They suddenly find that the lifesaver they have been looking for suddenly appears on TV.

Dressed in a long white robe with purple all along the edges, a tie (holy belt), a hand belt, a sacrificial shawl, a large round robe, mass stockings, shoes, gloves and so on, appear in the central aisle of the church.

Under the gaze of the whole world, his eyes were solemn and deep, and he walked slowly towards the altar in front of him.

This means that the ceremony has begun, with the screens including the live broadcast resounding with choral choral poetry and the solemn music of the organ.

Walking all the way to the old man with a calm face, and walking to the altar, York took a deep breath and slowly leaned over......

Gregory smiled, "It's finally come this far, York, it looks like you've made your choice." ”

Yorks pursed his lips and said nothing.

"I'm very happy......"

Gregory raised his hand, prayed silently for a moment, and then began the coronation ceremony for the promotion of the priesthood.

"In the name of God, we declare you bishop with the authority of the Church. May God's blessings come upon you and grant you wisdom, humility, and a shepherd's heart......"

As the voice fell, Gregory's face was brightly smiled, and with the assistance of the clergy beside him, he took out a splendid bishop's hat from a solemn box, decorated with gold trim, precious stones, and embroidered scriptures and placed it on the head of the man in front of him.

The old man's breathing became heavier and heavier at this moment, which made Yorks frown inaudibly.

But the expression on Gregory's face never changed, except for a stroke of the bishop's hat.

"May this bishop's hat remind you that you are a servant of God, commanded to proclaim the faith and guide the faith

Remember, always remember your responsibilities......"

As he spoke, the old man lifted a beautiful bishop's scepter engraved with a Bible story from the plate that the clergyman had brought to him next to him.

"With this cane you will guide your flock, care for them, and guide them in the right way, and may the inspiration of God always guide your shepherd's heart......"

Yorks stared up at the old man.

Gregory smiled and nodded slightly.

"Whew..."

Seeing this, Yorks could only stretch out his hands to take the bishop's scepter handed over by the old man's hands.

Grigory smiled, then took out a jewel-encrusted badge engraved with a statement of faith from beside him, leaned over and put it on York's chest, and said:

"This badge is a sign of your faith, and may you be guided by God's truth at all times......"

Yorks didn't say a word, silently accepting the old man's salute, he could obviously feel the old man's struggle, but the old man in front of him was meticulous in his movements to the last step.

Dip a little oil and continue to apply it to his forehead.

When he felt a chill on his forehead, York heard the last words.

"May the Holy Spirit of God come upon you and give you wisdom and courage to serve the glory of the church......"
