I suppressed the weirdness in the shelter

Chapter 246 Ascension
The fake Gray was completely devoured by the white flames, leaving only a ball of ember burning on the steps, and eventually nothing would be left.

Wyatt continued to move forward, and it seemed that nothing could stop him.

After seeing this scene, the Pope closed his eyes and sighed resignedly.

The fake Grey was his device to control Wyatt, and after he refused the coronation ceremony, the Pope began to prepare for it.

He knew everything about the demigod Chaos's plan, and he understood that the other party's goal was to become a god.

As for why the Pope knew that the demigod was preparing to ascend in Shenhui City, it was ultimately because the Pope himself was also a demigod.

After more than five hundred years of exploration, the Pope understood a truth.

From the moment the Church prepared to step onto the world stage, the gaze of holiness upon them was bound to weaken.

There is no giant that does not have a dark side. If there is a dark side, it must be contrary to the doctrine of "holiness".

Over the past hundreds of years, the Pope has thought about portraying himself as a perfect person and using his personal power to attract the attention of "holiness".

But this method is no different from covering one's ears and stealing a bell. How could "holiness" not be able to see whether a person is perfect? ​​The dark side of anyone is unhidden in His eyes.

When the Pope realizes this, he has completely strayed from the teachings of "holiness" and can no longer gain His attention.

Even the apostolic personality is gradually weakening, as if "holiness" is warning himself that if the throne of the Pope is not fully inherited, the apostolic personality will completely disappear.

This was definitely not the scene the Pope wanted to see, so he began to look for other solutions.

A bold idea was born.

Since the church will inevitably step onto the world stage and the gaze of "holiness" will inevitably dim, the church still needs the attention of a god.

So why not try to become a god yourself?
As long as he becomes a god and chooses a title with a similar meaning to "holiness", even if the church changes its beliefs, the impact will be minimal.

And I will focus all my attention on the church, but from a long-term perspective, the impact of a few decades will be insignificant.

So the Pope began to work on his ascension.

He first used his identity as a "holy" apostle and successfully found a way to steal divine power, becoming a demigod.

After that, he was also actively planning the Road to the Gods, but unfortunately the progress was slow. He originally thought that it would take at least another five hundred years before the Road to the Gods could be prepared and completed.

Until recently, a demigod suddenly appeared in his sight.

The demigod of "Chaos" brought the complete path to deification as soon as she appeared. She only needed the last step to complete the ascension.

The Pope realized that his opportunity had come, so he began to attract the other party's attention.

He asked the Elf King's Court for Grey's residual soul, because he knew that the pollution attached to Grey's residual soul came from the starry sky. As the last step on the road to becoming a god and a means of locating the realm of gods, no building material could be more suitable than this.

He then released the news of his abdication, so that everyone would turn their attention to Shenhui City. This way, even if he released the news of Gray's remaining soul, it would not seem abrupt.

This step of the plan was very successful, and the demigod was indeed attracted.

At the same time, he also invited Wyatt, because the ultimate goal is to seize the road to deification, so the Pope believes that he must have the power to compete with demigods.

Unfortunately, he underestimated Wyatt and didn't expect Wyatt to refuse the crown.

Now it seems that he probably knows the purpose of the coronation ceremony.

This is not surprising. After all, "holiness" focuses much more on him than on the entire church.

So the Pope gave up the usurpation and chose to dominate, and was ready to play the emotional card, hoping to use Grey's image to complete the domination. But it ended in failure.

"Gray again..."

The Pope was also so angry that he laughed.

If one were to ask who is giving the church the most headaches, the Pope’s answer would not be a heretic or an evil god, but Gray.

The first time was after Gray's death. For many reasons, he was ready to sentence her to depravity, but this behavior caused a sharp weakening of his "holy" gaze.

The second time was after Wyatt was expelled. More and more "holy" attention was paid to him. The Pope realized that Wyatt had diverted a lot of attention, and the cause of all this was Grey.

The third time, that is, now, Grey's existence allows Wyatt to escape usurpation and domination, and the risks of the plan cannot be eliminated.

But it doesn’t matter. I have already seized the initiative, and because I have been a demigod long enough, the divine power I have collected is very strong.

Now, the Pope can conclude that he has gone the furthest on the road to becoming a god, completely leaving Wyatt and the demigod behind.

By the time they catch up with me, I will probably have already begun preparing to establish my throne in the divine realm.

Although the Pope wanted them to recognize the gap, in order to ensure that no further complications arose, he decided to close the road to deification after they entered the realm of gods.

Thinking of this, the Pope began to quicken his pace.

The last hundred steps leading to the entrance to the divine realm are the most polluted.

The stairs had been dyed with a strange color, extremely complex, and it was not a color that the human eye could process.

Just by looking at it, you can feel the terrible pollution stinging your eyes.

The Pope had to expend more divine power to resist pollution, but the pollution contained in each step was beyond his imagination.

When the Pope reached the 50th step, the divine power in his body was almost exhausted, and he could only rely on his willpower to resist the pollution.

Thinking of this, the Pope couldn't help but laugh triumphantly.

Facing the last section of the journey, he felt his life was threatened. Wyatt and the demigod, whose power was not even half of his, had to complete the journey to godhood.

Wyatt, in particular, is so ignorant that he dares to embark on the path to deification without even the status of a demigod. So what if "holiness" favors him?
The favor of God is not a talisman. If you become proud and complacent because of it, it will become a death warrant.

Clearly, Wyatt fits that description.

And that demigod, although no one knows where she came from, but judging from the information I got from contact with her, her divine power is far inferior to mine.

It is obvious that they will all die on the road to becoming a god.

And he will enter the realm of gods, establish his throne, and become the eleventh great being in the sky.

By then, the church that believes in itself will be the most powerful force in the human world, and there will be only one voice in this world, and that is the voice of the church!

The Pope gritted his teeth and came to the entrance. He looked at the deep entrance, his eyes full of tenderness that only lovers could have.

He then looked behind him. He knew that the two people were still alive, so he prepared to give them a little surprise.

A strong holy light lit up in front of the entrance, which was the Pope's way of informing everyone who knew about it.

Steinbeck Faladoux, has ascended!
