For the second time, Gregory IV tasted complete defeat.

There are no reasons or excuses, no justifications and no refutations, and even the screams and wails are powerless—such a complete defeat.

In fact, as early as when the Holy Capital collapsed under the rainbow light of the "Third Impact", he should have recognized that he and even human beings could not be enemies of the kind of monsters that could even determine the existence of physical forms and natural laws. Raising the flag against the natural disasters of the earthquake and tsunami cannot even be called unconspiracy, and it would be bleak to say that it is suicide.

There are many reasons why the Pope and his cadres and many believers have been able to get to where they are now, rather than breaking down or committing suicide out of despair, such as misjudging the situation, such as the inertial rigidity of thinking that has been passed down from generation to generation, such as the mentality of having to fight to the death after being cornered, and the excess self-confidence brought about by the untimely success of the priesthood...... But if we were to say the biggest reason for their failure, I am afraid that the "church has never failed" is to blame.

Whether it is a game of nations, political power disputes, or even sectarian disputes, in the final analysis, it is a game of power. In a game where your life is at stake, defeat means death. Able to eliminate many competitors, sit all the way to the throne of religious leaders, and lead the church to navigate the chaotic times. Until the encounter with Li Lin, the Pope and the Church had never tasted defeat in the true sense of the word.

They don't really do anything special, they just keep avoiding the losing option when faced with choices along the way.

Of course, saying "not special" is only relative, after all, there are only a very small number of people who can always avoid failure. There are very few people who can quickly change their thinking in the face of emergencies and find a way to survive in desperate situations.

"Not to lose" does not necessarily mean "to win". In the game of power and intrigue on the chessboard of life, defeat cannot be determined as long as you do not die, that is, even if you are forced into a predicament where defeat is very likely, as long as you use the next means, everything will not end there.

Once you decide that you have lost, your defeat is certain.

So...... The defeat of the Spear of Longinus, and the subsequent ravages of the "Legion", the helplessness of humanity made the Pope feel at a loss for a very short time.

The most important thing right now is to get out as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, His Majesty immediately entered the underground secret passage prepared in advance, surrounded by his henchmen.

As long as you are alive, there will always be a chance, and there will always be a "next time to usher in a turnaround". They must now race against time to get out of this hell full of undead and dead bodies. Fortunately, the influence of the church is still there, as long as the pointy ears do something superfluous, gather loyal followers as soon as possible, and hide the core backbone of the church underground. Over time, the Church will accumulate more power than it is now, and at that time, the Church will succeed and the "world dominated by man" will be realized.

"What's missing, what's missing......"

Walking briskly in the dark and narrow corridors, barely suppressing the panic and anger of the brain, quickly taking stock of the strategy, the candidate for the cadre, the slightly trembling lips muttered quietly.

"Yes, first of all, ......"

"Where do you want to go? ”

A cold, contemptuous sneer intercepted the old man's self-talk.

"No, no. It's not good to drill the horns of the bull, you should almost learn to die. The dignified pope became the remnant of the Church, and the rotten old man became the last person left after the collapse of the organization. It's not funny, I can't even find a laugh. ”

The curvaceous curved silhouette emerges from the darkness, hidden in the darkness, as glamorous as a poppy, and the poisonous poppy-like smile says:

"What's missing? What's missing? Even if I give you another thousand years, I won't be able to find the answer. It's obviously impossible, and no matter how hard you try, there will be no results. Repeated and continuous funny performances will only show a funny appearance in the end. Now that the farce is over, it's time for the burlesque clown to leave. ”

"You ......"

I have seen many big people, and there are countless vicious people who have walked in front of me, and they have not changed their color in the face of various crises.

At this moment, the decayed body wrapped in a gorgeous cloak trembled.

It is as if the mind and body already know who is coming before the intellectual analysis determines the identity of the other person, and they are deeply afraid of it.

In the dim lighting, the approaching figure gathered his long hair, and his bewitching smile seemed to be enjoying the murky air underground.

Then, the faces that had been hidden in the shadows lifted up to the frightened and nervous men.

There was a gasp in the tunnel.

Most of the people here make a living by fighting and killing, and there is no good man or woman who does not eat the fireworks of the world, as long as they believe that they are the target in front of them, even if they have a newborn baby, they will still not hesitate to raise their knives and fall.

At this moment, these bloodless and tearless killing machines held their breath like humans.

Even the Pope, who is in his late teens, is no exception.

In the face of the beauty of the ancient sage kings who had to worship him, and who did not hesitate to fall to the point where he offered the head of the prophet with his own hands, and longed to watch his dance, it was abnormal to be able to remain normal.

There is disobedience and blasphemy in the slightly moving lips, and the beauty of something important is robbed at a glance.

"You, are you ......?"

"This war, your long-cherished wishes, the ambitions of the crown prince, the delusions of Charlemagne's army department...... It's all a farce that will be released only today and one day only. Everyone was assigned his rightful role and played their part to the best of their ability. You guys worked really hard and you performed really well. Since you've done a great job from start to finish, if you leave the show at the end, it will not only lower the standard of the whole performance, but also cause trouble for the audience, so let me help you. ”

The willowy brow furrowed in embarrassment, but the lip line split like an unknown monster, a hazy and cruel breath overflowed the lips, and the blood-red pupils reflected the pale faces of the men.

As if she felt ridiculous at the bottom of her heart at the behavior of people raising knives against each other, the witch shook her shoulders.

That is, the action of pressing too much on the heart.

With a flowing expression and a lazily holding up a finger, the enchantress knows how to make people feel frightened without being paralyzed or collapsed by fear.

No, even if there is no intention in her demeanor, the presence of the demon girl is still huge.

Every move will steal the attention of the person who sees it.

Every word and word will wear down the listener's sanity.

Then, the enchantress shot her cold gaze to the other side, her nails covering her scarlet lips, and a muffled voice filled the night with the smell of blood.

"Thou hast waited for thousands of years of toil, and thou hast betrayed five hundred years, and now you are rewarded in the here and now. ”

Say to the voice that negates everything from the other party:

"In the name of the Mother Goddess, grant you an equal and eternal death. ”

It was a mockery that declared that no one could survive Hell.
