C404 The Trip to the Church(6)
Atlas felt that his analysis was very reasonable and was prepared to turn against the Pope. At most, we will just split up. With my current strength, I am not afraid of a mere Light Vatican. However, the God of Light behind him is not something I can touch.
But would that old man come out so easily? What was a God? If he wanted to become a qualified Divine Clan, he had to have a sense of mystery. By making the believers worship and occasionally revealing some "miracles," everyone would believe that this god existed. If a trivial matter required a Sovereign to personally appear, then what kind of mysteriousness would there be?
Moreover, the other party had already bullied him. Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, he could not easily let him go. Atlas believed that as long as it wasn't the Radiant God himself, he would have the strength to fight anyone, no matter who it was.
But unexpectedly, the Pope did not get angry. After hearing Atlas's words, he fell into deep thought.
"What's going on? Why isn't this old man reacting at all? Even I, Young Master, have said so. I even doubt his faith. Why does he have to think for so long?" As he thought about it, Qingtian didn't say anything else. He continued to observe the other party's every move.
After a long time, the Pope finally raised his head and looked deeply at Atlas.
"What are you looking at? My sexual orientation is very normal. Furthermore, you're just an old man, what are you thinking about!" Qingtian couldn't hold it in anymore and said to him, "I know that my words might hurt your heart, but I've said it before. This is just a theory based on the current situation. Now, all the blame is on Light Divine Clan. I think that the God of Light wouldn't be bothered to do such a thing. But who can guarantee that there are no scum among his subordinates? "
The Pope's answer was beyond Atlas's expectations. Surprisingly, the old man did not oppose his words. "I think your guess is most likely correct!"
"What!" Atlas could not believe his ears. He stared at the other party with widened eyes. These words did not seem to come from the mouth of a Pope.
"That, Your Majesty, I want to know, why do you say that? Could it be that you also saw through the observation? " I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it! These words actually came out from the Pope's mouth!
"Yes! When I received the oracle, even I didn't dare to believe it. Although I know that the great God of Light is omnipotent and omniscient, everything on the continent is now calm. There are no major conflicts, and there are no powers that can pose a threat to the Light Vatican. Why did he summon saintess back this time?
This was the first time since I took the position of Pope that I received such a clear oracle. Furthermore, I know that... The previous Pope has never spoken directly to the God of Light in his entire life, and although I have not done anything harmful to the Church in all these years, however, I have not been arrogant enough to feel that I have made a great contribution to receive the oracle of the God of Light. Furthermore, this time it is about saintess, who should not have been in power. "
After the description of the old man, Qingtian roughly knew what had happened. One day, the Pope was praying under the huge statue of the God of Light. Suddenly, he felt that he had been targeted by something.
The feeling of the Divine Level expert could not be wrong, but would anyone in the Light Vatican have the courage to spy on him?
Just as the Pope was looking up, he suddenly realized that the stone statue had come alive! To be precise, a pair of eyes had come alive and were staring at him.
The Pope, who thought that he was seeing things, immediately rubbed his eyes. It was absolutely true, the eyes on the stone statue would blink and move!
Then, something even stranger happened. A solemn business "Child..." The Pope was extremely excited. This was definitely not a dream. The God of Light had truly appeared in front of him!
Hence, there was something after that. The stone statue did not say anything and only told the Pope to summon Sophie back as soon as possible. There was an important ceremony that required her to be present.
The Pope who was extremely excited at that time naturally did as he was told and immediately wrote a letter to Atlas. He also sent five hundred Knight of Light to escort her. But since then, the oracle never appeared again. The Pope who had calmed down also felt that there was something strange about the matter. In addition to Atlas's reminder today, the old man also felt that something was not right.
"Looks like this old fellow isn't too pedantic. He can still calm down after encountering such a thing. Looks like there's hope for this matter. " As he thought about it, Qingtian finally revealed a smile. Things were getting closer!
"I am extremely grateful for your trust, Your Highness. I think you should know this as well. What you saw shouldn't be the God of Light. Why would the real Master God secretly communicate with you through that stone statue while you were praying? And what he asked for was completely unreasonable. He simply wanted you to find saintess. But he did not tell you why. Isn't this a bit different? I suspect that someone pretended to be the God of Light and deliberately lied to you for the sake of being summoned by you. Bring saintess here.
Since he could communicate with you through the statue of the God of Light, then infiltrating the Church would be as easy as flipping his hand. At that time, as long as Sophie returns, the other party will definitely have a way to capture it." Atlas sorted out the thoughts of the matter and the final result seemed to be getting more and more obvious.
"Is that really the case? Bastard! This is blasphemy from the God of Light, I will never forgive him. " The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. The Pope slammed his hand on the table beside him. The table, which could not bear the heavy burden, suddenly fell apart.
Seeing that the other party was so angry, of course, Qingtian had to dissuade him. "Alright, don't be angry. Didn't we see through his trick? As the saying goes, when soldiers come, they will block. When water comes, earth will block. As long as we are sufficiently prepared, we have already grasped the initiative in the battle. We will wait for him to appear then. "
Although the Pope was devout, he was not a fool. That fellow who passed down the fake Imperial Decree was full of loopholes. However, to be able to attach himself to the God of Light and converse with him, it was obvious that he had some ability.
" What should we do now? " The Pope seemed to be truly enraged. This was the first time he had encountered an oracle. He didn't expect it to be fake. Perhaps he was too excited at that time and didn't carefully observe the other party's words and feelings. After that, he hurriedly went to carry out the task given to him by the 'God of Light'.
"What should I do? Everything will go according to plan. Don't worry, with me around, no one will get any good results. Didn't that God of Light want to see Sophie? Then let her see this so-called God. Of course, the prerequisite is that I am by your side. " Tian Qingtian crossed his legs and sat down on the chair. The discussion just now had been somewhat contradictory. If it wasn't for the fact that this old man had a more flexible mind, he was afraid that there would be a fight today.
Their conversation only ended at midnight. The first person to come out was Qingtian, who seemed very relaxed. He went straight back to his room. The six Holy Level were not around. They nervously guarded Sophie's side. They were really afraid that the other side would launch a sneak attack at them at this time. Each and every one of them was facing a formidable enemy.
The Pope, who had followed behind Qingtian, had a tired look on his face. Moreover, he seemed to have aged a lot and completely lost his former elegance. After coming out of the house, he arrived in front of the huge statue...
"Great God of Light, ever since I entered your embrace, I have been working hard with my firm belief. Until I became the Pope, the one who can represent you on this continent, I don't know if you have heard me now, but this is the first time I have questioned you in so many years.
I have to say, that child's words indeed have some basis. I have never doubted your greatness, but by your side, are there some people with insufficient faith? I hope you can point me in the right direction..."
But this time, the statue did not have any reaction. It still stood there coldly.
Everyone was making preparations. Soon, an important day arrived. On this day designated by the 'God', Sophie should have gone to accept the instructions of the 'God' alone. But this time, there was an outsider by her side.
But just before this, something unexpected happened. It was also this matter that disrupted everyone's previous preparations.
