Chapter 62: There Was Never Salvation

Adam, who had finished his day's study, lay on his bed and looked at the familiar rooftop.

It is undeniable that although Anthony's words are similar to some chicken soup in his previous life, there is such a thing as chicken soup that needs to be said separately.

Charisma makes it easier for the words to reach people's hearts.

Anthony's charisma has undoubtedly reached its peak, and his charisma gives him an affinity to touch everyone he comes into contact with.

This is something that Adam can't do, and although his affinity is terrifying, some people can still see through Adam's essence without being affected by it.

Of course, Adam was not discouraged by this, and people have to grow.

It's just that now, on the road of growth, because of Anthony's words, he has a little bit of confusion.

It is undeniable that he is not completely calculating in Roa these days, and in the Boku family, Aris and Maggie, who are worried about him, Lina who clings to him, and Char, the chief monk, hopes that he will be redeemed, and Anthony not only teaches him, but also always wants to add more sunshine to Adam's life.

Adam can think calmly about the pros and cons of things, but he can't make completely calm trade-offs.

"I'm not really Adam after all. Nether ruffled her hair and touched the scar on her face with her hand.

It was heavy, but he wasn't going to give up his life for it.

"Maybe I'm naturally emotionally weak. Nether sat up, he had greater ambitions and desires, life in Roya was indeed good, but he was not going to stop there.

"After all, there is never salvation for xenos. Adam knew this very well, even the Church of God's Tears, which was the most accepting of xenos on the surface of the world, was essentially nothing more than torturing xenos with holy power and faith, and in the end, a few xenos were cleared of xenomorph bloodlines and had the so-called qualifications to return to the arms of God.

Some of the xenomorphs in that church were voluntary, but most of them were forced to accept those pains under pressure.

To Adam, this was far from salvation.

At the same time, Purdo stood on a tall building and watched the sun slowly set.

Growing up as a dean of the seminary, he had only some free time before dinner in the evening, where he could watch the sun go down and then the endless darkness.

At that time, he really wanted to chase the sun and keep it from going down.

He took out a piece of preserved fruit from his pocket, and the sweet taste calmed down Purdo a lot.

Perhaps it was the reason why his body had returned to his youth, and the change in one of the three elements had attracted the other yuan, and he had recently become a little sentimental.

After all, the old body's sense of taste is a little dull, even if the piece of preserved fruit is so sweet, he feels like that.

"Huh?" said Puldo grinning suddenly, his finger lightly pointing at the guardrail on the roof.

"Bang~"

"Bang~"

"Bang~"

The soft sound followed the guardrail, as if it resounded throughout the building in an instant.

In the next moment, countless rays of light flowed from the railing, and the entire building instantly became a huge prison.

Inside the building, some of the monks and soldiers were restrained by the sonic power and could not move at all.

"Your generation of monks is too simple to control their own existence. Purdo said with a smile.

Just like other professions, there are five stages of maintenance, overflow, refinement, return, and ascension, and monks can actually skip this stage of refining because they cultivate faith from the beginning, and faith is the ritual of their connection with the gods.

Once the monks practice, they already have a sadhana, and through faith, they are able to directly channel the power of the gods, the holy power, into their own bodies, and then gradually use the holy power to maintain all the consumption of their lives.

The monks still needed to eat at first, but as their faith grew stronger and the consumption of life that could be replaced by the Holy Power increased, they gradually stopped eating.

In order to achieve this earlier, some monks choose to practice penance, cutting back on what is necessary, and at the same time tempering themselves with suffering and forcing themselves to use their holy powers.

Although this can be extremely damaging to one's body, for the ascetics, everything they do is to get closer to God.

Their spirits were transformed by the influence of faith, and they gradually established a connection with the incarnation of the gods, and the life force became an unimportant thing, but a shell of their short life.

Therefore, they are able to train their bodies into the sharpest blades at the expense of pain and sequelae, and even if they do not enter a state of being with God, ascetics can have strong combat effectiveness.

Of course, there is still a difference between ordinary monks and ascetics, although they are also pregnant with holy power, but they have no intention of giving up their bodies for the time being, they need to better manage the world for God.

Because the spirit is linked to the holy power along with the faith, and because of the disconnection between the holy power and the life force, the body of most monks is similar to that of ordinary people.

If you don't enter the state of being with the gods, although you can also use your holy power, you will often be dragged down by ordinary bodies, and it will be difficult for the divine magic released with your holy power to hit those enemies with high perception.

It can be said that with the development of time, monks and ascetics have gradually divided into two professions, although they are also centered on faith and used holy power as their strength.

Ordinary monks are closer to missionary work than to combat classes, although the presence of the presence of gods allows them to burst out with stronger combat abilities than ordinary combat classes when necessary.

With the reform of the seminary, this division of professions became more pronounced, because most of the students enrolled were the children of the aristocracy and the wealthy, who let people enter the seminary to gain power, not to die early.

However, during the time of Puerdo's enrollment, the distinction between monks and ascetics was not so clear, and although they did not have to torture themselves like ascetics, they did not need much training.

So it was only natural for Purdo to say to those who were going to round him up, you are the Beat Generation.

As a monk who had reneged on his faith, the strength of the Purdo profession was inevitably affected, and he was no longer able to enter a state of being with God, because the faith that was supposed to be a ritual had collapsed.

However, this did not mean that Purdo had lost his power, on the contrary, his strength had been greatly enhanced.

Monks can work part-time, the most successful of which is the paladin, after all, the knight profession was first developed by the church, and it can also be a part-time magician, but under normal circumstances, because the spiritual power of the monk is affected by faith, the magician who works part-time by the monk will face the problem of insufficient mental power, even if it is enough, it is still not as good as divine magic.

The presence of faith allows the monk to grow extremely quickly, and it can also provide a state of self-improvement in the presence of God, but it is also a limitation in some ways.

With the collapse of faith, the spiritual power is no longer limited, and Puerdo's spiritual power is comparable to that of senior sorcerers at the same stage, although it can no longer directly obtain holy power from the incarnation of the god through faith, but it can rely on the interpretation of the incarnation of the god in the past, and now carries out the transportation of the holy power through means similar to that of the sorcerer.

It's no wonder that most monks think that sorcerers are thieves.

It can be said that the sorcerer and the monk are two very similar professions, except that one uses spiritual power to attract almost all the forces of nature, while the other uses spiritual power to obtain the power of a god incarnate through faith.

Purdo was a great monk before, and he was somewhat similar to Char, and the holy power in his body was very large, so he couldn't use it too often.

And now he is no longer in danger of being assimilated by the incarnation of the gods, and his body is young again.

"Although I didn't succeed in creating my own ritual, my strength is far beyond the refining stage!" said Purdo with a smile, he had long planned to rebel against the church, and although he had not deliberately become a part-time sorcerer over the years, he was still very familiar with sorcerers.

At this moment, except that he has no ritual, there is no difference between him and a sorcerer who has returned to the stage.

"Although you found me quickly, you underestimated me too much!" Purdo snapped his fingers, and those lingering holy powers lit up, as if they were about to explode.

But in the next moment, as if water droplets were dripping into the lake, a majestic holy force, in a caressing way, turned into a wave to collide and then neutralize all the holy power in the building.

Char's old body stood not far away, tapping the ground with his cane, and all the turmoil seemed to calm down.

He stared at Purdo on the roof with a somewhat cloudy gaze, and there were no more words.
