Chapter 1182 (1/2)
Holy Cross Church, gloven cathedral.
This holy center, which has been handed down for hundreds of years and has a longer history than the dome of heaven and the capital of Golovin, is a place to save the world, ascend to heaven and purify the soul; At this moment, it has become the closest place in the world to ”hell”.
It is clearly a place to pray for the world and save the world, but it has become the only place in the imperial capital that does not have to worry about being broken by demons and turning into ruins; The strong parapet, the towering dome and the Golovin Hill 300 meters above the ground keep the cathedral safe from those terrible corpse demons and evil gods.
All this is out of the ambition and ”compassion” of an evil god.
Serene silence becomes silent irony;
Sacred solemnity, as if in constant ridicule.
The old bishop of innoson knelt down in front of the statue of the Holy Cross. The golden red Bishop's robe wrapped his already overburdened body like a velvet quilt. His trembling hands could not even hold the pendant tightly. His throat full of phlegm and mouth with no teeth could no longer recite hymns.
He just lay down under the huge sculpture and tried his last strength to keep himself alive.
Can't die, can't die.
I... innosen... Haven't completed his majesty Eckhart's mission, and I... haven't reached the time to set myself free.
Your majesty... The one who saved himself from the bottom, became an archbishop step by step, let himself run the Vatican, and even entrusted him with real power, and really penetrated into the future
Never... Live up to his expectations!
”Ha... Ha... Ha...”
The breathless innocent was dying.
”Bang --!”
With a loud noise, the temple door was smashed open from the outside.
Boom... Boom... Boom
The cold wind penetrating the temple was mixed with dull and continuous thunder.
The wind roared, and the dying Archbishop suddenly felt a shock, and his trembling palm pressed on his chest.
Like the actual force of emptiness, it is eroding his body with the penetrating wind.
”Ah... Ah...”
The trembling Archbishop Innocenti, with his desperately growing mouth, made a painful groan - the cold void force was raging in his body, like tearing up every bone and flesh
”Pa... Pa... Pa...”
Deep into the pain of bone marrow, the sound of clear footsteps sounded in his ears in a trance.
The old man with big eyes looked at his back as if he were looking at the most terrible thing in the world.
A familiar figure, dressed in ragged priest robes, walked barefoot to himself in the temple.
Francis... No.
It's the ”black cross” in a fascist bag, serliol.
Innocent knew it was caused by him - His Majesty Eckhart knew that serliol was likely to lurk in eboden city. Once eboden's nine pointed star Holy Grail appeared, it was likely to expose the black cross and let this terrible enemy enter the light from the dark, but the result
He not only hurt the young priest, but also created the ”prophecy” he desperately wanted to stop.
”Ah ah...”
The groans of pain are mixed with emotions beyond physical and mental pain - remorse and regret.
If it were not for his own initiative, his Majesty would have had more time to prepare and layout. How could it evolve into today's scene?!
If not myself... If... If not myself
”Interesting.”
At the moment when the cold voice sounded, the trembling Archbishop of innocent finally couldn't support it, convulsed and knelt to the ground, and the pus mixed with blood gushed out of his growing mouth.
The already decaying body has been tortured and distorted by the force of emptiness, and has already collapsed, leaving only the empty shell on the surface.
”Clearly claiming to be the humble servant of the Holy Cross, the words and deeds of the Holy Cross in the world represent the existence of the Holy Cross...”
As serliol approached step by step, a sarcastic sneer was spreading around his mouth:
”In fact, it's another human dog, hiding everyone and faithfully executing every command of him - it's so interesting. The 'inconsistency between the outside and the inside' of your material world is really so interesting.”
”No wonder... Asriel is so obsessed with you that he repeats his ridiculous and meaningless game of playing with people's hearts without boredom.”
”Even I can feel the irony - tell me, if those devout believers know that their religious leaders don't believe in the Holy Cross at all, but the emperor's most loyal servant, all they have done over the years is just confusing their illusion, in order to better serve the Emperor... What would they think?”
”Innocent... Archbishop?”
The voice of cold ridicule is like the whisper of the devil.
Innosen, lying on the ground, convulsed, desperately raised his eyes and stared at the figure walking towards him.
”The Holy Cross?”
He couldn't stop panting and said weakly, ”what is that - the Wizards of the Dragon kingdom are just shackles left to the Empire and the world, and deserve faith and worship?”
”An intruder who was born in the void for the purpose of enslaving the world and does not even belong to this world... The invader of another world is also qualified to... Become the belief of the Empire?!”
”No! It doesn't have the qualification, it... You... You! You invaders from another world, don't have the qualification, don't!”
Innosen, who tried his last breath of life, roared at the God who despised him.
”Only... Your majesty, your majesty Eckhart de sallion, who really understands and has insight into the world, has the power to bring the world to a better future.”
”He is the one who is truly qualified and capable of ruling the world, and is qualified to become the belief of all imperial people and even the whole world; he... Should be crowned God!”
”Not you... You damn invaders! Cough! Cough...”
He coughed violently and innoson was dying.
I can't die... I can't die
Until your Majesty's plan succeeds, i... innosen... Can't fall!
”Ah ah...!!”
Paralyzed on the ground, Archbishop innocent screamed, and pus mixed with blood gushed from his mouth.
Even so, the burning eyes still showed no sign of extinction; The dying body burst out amazing vitality, supporting him to continue to live. He turned his fragile body into an iron wall and stood in front of the black cross.
We must stop him, stop seryol... Before your Majesty's plan succeeds, we must stop seryol... From approaching the nine pointed star grail!
Never, let him get the nine pointed star Holy Grail!
”Stop me?”
