Chapter 382: Your Excellency the Pope, There is a Traitor Among Us

The wind howled, thunderbolts thundered, and catastrophe befell the new divine realm.

Where boundless thunder and hurricanes met, two afterimages formed into a continuous piece. Every time they collided, an earth-shaking roar erupted. A violent energy vortex raged down, first from east to west, and then from south to north, destroying the divine realm and leaving it in ruins.

The earth was torn into pieces, and the mountains collapsed under the impact of this force, huge rocks rolled down, and smoke and dust rose up.

The ocean in the distance was filled with raging waves, and the mighty tsunami and hurricanes hit and swept away again and again...

At the edge of the battlefield, Wayne took a deep breath.

Salosiya had the fight to win and he had the profit to make. After the deal was done, the profits were split 70% to 30%. He took 70% while standing and Salosiya knelt down to sacrifice the remaining 30% to faith. Everyone had a bright future.

"What a boring battle, so barbaric, without any aesthetic appeal. They are worthy of being the original primitive gods. Their grasp of the laws is still at a primitive level." Idnis said, looking at her nails.

"I can't say that. The powerful brick flying has a kind of beauty of strength. At least the visual effect is spectacular."

Wayne proved for Salosia: "You see, she has the advantage in weapons and life essence. As long as she catches him by surprise, she will be able to defeat Set."

"What about Seth?"

"I can't see any weakness at the moment. He has been asleep for too long and his mind is confused. He won't last long."

Wayne narrowed his eyes slightly. As the battle escalated, he gradually saw through Seth's condition.

There is no reincarnation into a human body, but the elemental body of storm and thunder is shaped by thought. This deviates from Salosiya's previous investigation.

It is not ruled out that Set's strength has increased significantly, and the bodies of ordinary humans cannot keep up with his thinking, so he is abandoned.

The possibility is not high. He Xiunuo was reincarnated as Mona, and was bullied by Mona and Wayne. He never thought of leaving his body full of positive energy.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to, but she can’t. This is the body that suits her best. She is Mona, and Mona is her.

Only complete fusion can make them impossible to separate.

By the same token, Seth has no reason to abandon his reincarnated body unless his reincarnation is in another form - possession of another body.

Wayne thought of the Great Sage. Judging from the fighting power shown by Set, the Great Sage was obviously the one being used. Once Set returned strongly, the Great Sage would be forced to make room and give his body to Set.

Then, Set, through the identity of a great sage, pretended to spread the oracle of the god, occupied the Dark Church, turned it into the Wind and Thunder Hall, and snatched away the Dark Goddess's believers in the world.

The Dark Goddess sent Viz to stop it, but she was defeated by Set and killed instantly. She then observed secretly, waiting for the next Dark Knight to awaken.

The idea is right, but...

It doesn't fit the character of the Dark Goddess.

Wayne glanced at the pretentious Idenis beside him. The dean of studies was a complicated person and he had not figured out his specific personality yet. He only knew that the other person had a very contradictory personality.

Among all the goddesses, the Dark Goddess cares most about the safety of the Chosen Continent.

She asked Anastasia to convey the oracle and carry it out, and stationed a team of dark elves in the frozen continent. Before the Dark Knight awakened, Anastasia temporarily replaced him. It was not until the latter could no longer hold on that she urged Austin to mature as soon as possible.

Wayne has always felt that the Dark Goddess has such outstanding saints, popes, and disciples, and that the people below should follow their example and be influenced by their faith.

As a result, this woman is really a seductive creature.

The goddess is so dark, there is no reason for the people below to whitewash her. The most likely possibility is that the dark goddess has two sides.

The saint represents good, the knight represents evil, the good that brings light to believers, and the evil that brings destruction to pagans, only when the two are combined into one can they become God.

Wayne shook his head. These were statements recorded in church scriptures and were the imaginations of believers. One should not be misled by such erroneous knowledge.

The Dark Goddess is a bad woman. She did not bring light and goodness to her believers, but only provided them with training for fun.

The Dark Church is white because it strives for self-improvement and has gotten rid of vulgarity, and it has nothing to do with the Dark Goddess.

But then again, without the permission of the Dark Goddess, the church cannot do anything...

Wayne was stuck in a logical contradiction, unable to justify himself, and suddenly woke up. Oh no, he became curious about the Dark Goddess.

He shook his head to dispel all his fantasies, locked his mind on Salosia, descended into her body, stuffed the copied information laws into her, and added a new buff to her.

No matter what the Dark Goddess's purpose is, the Dark Church must be stable, and the laws of storm and thunder must belong to Salosiya.

This battle has gone on too long, it's time to end it.

"Salosia, feel this power. You have already surpassed Set. He is no match for you."

When Salosia heard Wayne's voice, an indescribable strange power surged into her body. Her body froze and she was knocked down from the air by Set's hunting blade, which created a big hole when she fell to the ground.

White foam flew everywhere, and Salosia lay on his back at the bottom of the pit with his limbs twisted, unable to stand up for a long time.

"Salosia, you are as vulnerable as you were back then." Seth looked down at her and said a few contemptuous words.

At this moment, Salosiya's body floated up, and its twisted body returned to normal. A vertical line was torn on its faceless face, and an eyeball opened.

Buzz buzz————

Endless whispers suddenly emerged, entangled and confusing, causing Set's mind to become rigid.

"Void..."

"Heaven……"

A large amount of incomprehensible information filled Seth's mind, causing his thinking to stagnate. He was unable to move and could only watch Salosiya approach with a gun.

The tip of the lightning spear pierced through Set's body, and lightning burst out, offering him the most outstanding tribute.

Seth's body made of steel turned into fragile porcelain, storms and thunder gushed out from his wounds, and his whole body continued to shrink like a balloon.

The divine realm roared and shook, the wind howled, and pillars of lightning struck down, as if offering a dirge for Set.

Seth's mind was in a daze, everything in front of his eyes was white, he could not see anything, could not sense anything, he just stood there in the air, allowing Salosiya to swing his spear in and out seven times, and his broken body shrank rapidly.

Salosiya shrank his body synchronously, and used his spear to weave a lightning grid, which blasted Set into pieces, erasing his thoughts bit by bit in the simplest and crudest way.

Boom! !

High in the sky, a bolt of lightning struck from the vortex of dark clouds.

Different from other thunders, this flash was as black as ink, condensing the purest darkness.

The lightning swept back Salosiya, wrapped Set in it, and knocked him heavily to the ground, causing his mind to merge into the divine realm and resonate with all the obelisks to become a whole.

Salosia was greatly surprised. Just as his old enemy was about to die, this happened suddenly.

When you are in doubt, ask Wayne, faith, faith, has it been tested on the strength?

Wayne nodded. Salosiya was getting by smoothly, which led to his arrogance and extravagance. Wayne couldn't stand it, so he used his axe to increase the difficulty of the test.

"It is true. I was a little too proud and indulgent just now."

Salosia nodded secretly, leaned forward and rushed to the ground, knocked down the nearest obelisk, searched for Set's hidden thoughts, caught them and killed them one by one.

This is an extremely large and tedious project that will take at least three to five months to complete.

Salosiya knew the purpose of the test. Her faith was honing her patience. Only when she had gone through the hardships and finally tasted the hard-earned victory, would the test be truly over.

Touching.JPG
Thinking of this, Salosiya became full of energy.

Wayne was also very angry when he saw what Salosiya was thinking. The sky goddess was too honest, and he felt guilty every time he fooled her.

If it was the bad woman Idenis, Wayne would not only not feel guilty, but would even increase his intensity.

He raised his hands to cover his face and said to the person beside him: "What's going on? Where does the darkness come from?"

Idenis blinked and looked at Anastasia beside Wayne: "I'm asking you, where does the darkness come from? Speak!"

Anastasia: "..."

Dark Goddess, do you want to listen to what you are saying?
"I'm asking you, where does darkness come from?"

Wayne stood in front of Bai Yueguang, not wanting to see her suffer any injustice: "Seth is definitely not the mastermind. Like Salosia, he is just an old god with a rigid mindset. From his awakening to the gathering of the obelisks, everything was guided by darkness."

Wayne glared at Idenis. He was very careful when he stood up and kicked, fearing that he would not know how to control himself when he was being unreasonable. He couldn't bear it himself, so how could he allow Idenis to bully Anastasia?

"Just pamper her, you're so biased!"

Idnes complained like she was jealous, "How would I know where the darkness came from? I'm not the real goddess of darkness. I'm just your follower. In my opinion, this is the Roshi Federation, and it's clearly the Dark Church that's causing trouble."

"Goddess, the Dark Church does not have this ability." Anastasia hurriedly explained.

"What do you, a saint, know about the Dark Church? I am the Dark Goddess!" said Idness.

"Now you are the Dark Goddess again. You are so flexible in your bottom line."

Wayne complained, and seeing that Anastasia wanted to explain, he shook his head slightly: "The goddess said that there is something wrong with the church. There must be something wrong with the church. Be good, tell me about the great sage. How much do you know about him?"

"The Great Sage Cain's loyalty to the darkness is even greater than that to me and the Pope. He cannot be a traitor..."

Anastasia said with certainty that if Kane was only involved in the case of manipulating Set's rebirth, it would not matter, but if it involved the death of the former Dark Knight Vichy, the crime would be serious.

"Don't be so decisive. Do you dare to make a bet with me?" Idenis suggested.

Anastasia didn't say anything. Apart from Wayne, she had never seen Idenis suffer a defeat at the hands of anyone else. The lesson of Salosiya was still in her mind, and she began to think about the possibility that Kane was the mastermind behind the scenes.

Judging from the facts, the possibility is very slim. It's not that Anastasia looks down on Kane. From a realistic point of view, Kane has no ability to control Seth.

The legendary wizard controls the demigod...

Kane is not Wayne, he doesn’t have the ability to know.

"Let's go to the Dark Church. We'll know if it's him if we slap him."

Wayne patted his butt and sent a telepathic message to Salosia, asking the latter to take the exam well and he would check the progress bar later.

Just in case, he gave Salosiya a buff before leaving.

Dark Church Headquarters, Meeting Hall.

The church headquarters is very busy today.

First, a delegation from the Church of Nature arrived. As a fellow high priest of the oracle, Wayne defeated Anton in seconds, leaving the latter with no chance of resistance. The higher-ups of the Dark Church were ashamed and kept criticizing Anton for his incompetence.

Anton felt very aggrieved. The pretty boy was a real talent and anyone who went on would lose. He couldn't bear the blame alone.

Just when a group of people were arguing, the Great Sage Kane, who had been getting moldy in the Hall of Sages, arrived and invited everyone to go to the meeting room. He also found Pope Ivan and told him about a new oracle that there was a traitor in the church's high-ranking officials.

Kane didn't say what oracle it was and waited until everyone was gathered before speaking.

There are three major leaders in the Dark Church headquarters: the Pope who is in charge of internal affairs, the saint who conveys the oracles of the goddess, and the great sage who translates the oracles of the gods.

The three of them were of equal status, but Saint Anastasia was too outstanding, and with her reputation within the church, she was slightly superior to the Pope and the Great Sage.

Pope Ivan didn't care. Anastasia was his daughter and he was very happy.

The position of the Great Sage was rather awkward. Facing the father and daughter who were so powerful, he had to stand opposite them. As they faced each other, his relationship with Ivan became strained.

"Kane, what important matter must we discuss now?"

Ivan arrived at the meeting room, still annoyed that Wayne had borrowed the Philosopher's Stone and not returned it. After sitting down, he looked around the room in confusion and frowned.

"Your Holiness, there is a traitor among us, in this conference room." Kane stood up and said.

"..."xN
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then they whispered to each other.

The possibility of a traitor is small, as they are all family members and have lived together for many years, so they still have some trust in each other. I suspect that the great sage is being oppressed by the Pope and is using the oracle as an excuse to get back some face.

"Kane, who is the traitor, you..."

Ivan was halfway through his words when he saw Kane staring at him with burning eyes. He couldn't help but ask happily: "What, you translated the oracle, and I am the traitor?"

"That's right." Kane said loudly.

A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and there was an uproar in the conference room. Everyone denounced Kane and told him to stop talking nonsense.

"We have seen the contributions of the Pope to the Church. He cannot be a traitor..."

"The Pope has trained the most outstanding saint..."

"That's right. Just by looking at Her Excellency the Saint, you can tell that he is not a traitor!"

Facing the crowd's condemnation, Kane remained calm and said confidently, "Your Excellency the Saint is indeed excellent, and I do not deny Ivan's contribution to the church, but you are all legendary wizards, and you should understand that we have to make a choice at this point."

"Kane, how can you address the Pope by his name?"

"Shut up, you sycophants!"

Kane glanced at the crowd and raised his hand to his chest: "If I translated the oracle wrongly and wronged the reputation of the Pope, I am willing to be punished, but if not, can you afford the responsibility?"

Everyone was speechless and looked at Ivan, asking him to make a decision.

"Kane, you said I was a traitor. Where is the evidence? What did the oracle say?" Ivan went straight to the point.

"Ivan, you betrayed your faith in your future choice. You chose the goddess of nature. This is what the oracle said." Kane vowed, confirming it with certainty.

"evidence!"

Ivan was speechless and said, "Do you think I am a traitor because Anton lost to the messenger of the Church of Nature?"

"The proof is the Philosopher's Stone!"

Kane slapped his hands on the table and said in an imposing manner: "Where is the Philosopher's Stone in your control? Did you give it to the messenger of the Church of Nature? Take it out and prove your innocence."

"..."xN
Everyone looked at Ivan, and seeing that he neither expressed his opinion nor took out the Philosopher's Stone as evidence, their faces turned pale and they all had a bad premonition.

"Ivan, don't say that you don't have the stone with you. No one will believe you. Hand over the Philosopher's Stone to prove my innocence in framing you and that you are not a traitor." Kane shouted harshly. At this moment, he was a hero guarding justice.

"Your Holiness, please bring out the Philosopher's Stone immediately."

"Yeah, it's already this time..."

Everyone spoke up for Ivan, secretly speculating that the Philosopher's Stone might no longer be in Ivan's hands.

The answer was too horrifying for them to believe.

"The Philosopher's Stone is not in my hands. I obeyed the order of the Goddess and handed it over to Wayne, the oracle high priest of the Church of Nature." Ivan spoke stiffly, looking a little unnatural.

"Hahaha, what an order from the goddess. The portal of the church, the key to our life and death, has been handed over to the Church of Nature by the goddess' order. Ivan, can you use your brain and come up with an excuse?"

Kane said this was a sure thing, and slammed the table repeatedly: "Ask everyone, will they believe this kind of sophistry?"

Facing everyone's eyes seeking explanation, Ivan saw deep disappointment in their eyes. He felt like his heart was being cut by a knife. He really felt like a traitor and a betrayer of everyone's trust in him.

However, the truth was too outrageous. At best, his faith would collapse, and at worst, his life would be in danger. He could not tell it, otherwise it would hurt everyone.

"Ivan, say something!"

Kane, like a victorious general, pointed at the traitor and said, "Tell me, you gave the Philosopher's Stone to the Church of Nature because you chose the Goddess of Nature. You betrayed everyone, including yourself."

"I didn't. My loyalty to the goddess is unquestionable. This is truly the goddess's order!" Ivan said coldly.

"Where did you get the oracle? Did the saint say so?"

"..."

It really is!
Thinking of the scene of his precious daughter clinging to Wayne's arms, Ivan's eyes twitched, and at a certain moment, he looked ferocious.

Just for a moment, not much.

Kane caught this look and said with a mysterious smile: "So that's how it is. The Saint has also betrayed the church. You and your daughter..."

"Kane, this is a bit too much!"

"The character of Her Excellency the Saint is well known. Anyone could be a traitor except her."

"I have remained pure for hundreds of years. How can you frame me here?"

Facing the angry gazes of the crowd, Kane waved his hands repeatedly: "I am just speculating. If Her Excellency the Saint did not falsely convey the oracle, then Ivan must be talking nonsense. He did not receive the oracle at all. He is a complete traitor."

"That's pretty much it!"

"You're a smart kid!"

"..."

Kane's mouth twitched. He had a script for a positive character, but how come he ended up being an enemy to everyone he saw?

It’s all Ivan’s fault. He brainwashed everyone!

Kane glared at Ivan and said, "Where is the messenger of the Church of Nature? I'm giving you a chance to make amends. Hurry up and get the Philosopher's Stone back. I don't need to explain how important this stone is!"

When the Philosopher's Stone was mentioned, everyone was a little frightened and looked at Ivan eagerly, hoping that he would repent.

It’s not too late to change it now.

"I don't know where Wayne went..."

Ivan was speechless. He wanted to speak but didn't dare to. He felt so aggrieved.

"Your Holiness, are you aggrieved? Did the bastards from the Church of Nature threaten you with force?"

"Shut up, you can't call him a bastard, she's a woman...you can't do that." Ivan spoke quickly. He could only think about it in his mind, and couldn't say anything carelessly.

"As expected, you succumbed to the Church of Nature and believed in the Goddess of Nature instead."

The evidence was irrefutable. Cain waved his hand and ordered everyone to arrest Ivan. "The Philosopher's Stone cannot be lost. First, lock up the traitor, disguise yourself as him and trick the Philosopher's Stone back. It won't be too late to turn against the Church of Nature later."

Everyone stood up and said helplessly: "Your Excellency the Pope, you must have your own grievances, but now that things have come to this, we can only let you suffer more grievances."

"When Her Excellency the Saint returns, I will definitely clear your grievances."

The high priests of the oracle did not use force. Ivan asked them to behave themselves. After all our years of friendship, he should not ask others to help him behave himself.

"No, you can't deal with him. This... this is also forbidden."

Ivan was almost suffocated. What could he say? The pretty boy did have special skills, but he was not the mistress of Pope Senna of the Church of Nature, but the mistress of the Goddess of Darkness?
No one believes it!

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.

"At this point, you are still protecting outsiders... Oh, to a traitor like you, we are outsiders." Kane sneered continuously, and he felt so happy when he saw Ivan's embarrassment.

"Stop arguing, let me say something fair!" Wayne interrupted from behind the crowd.

"You are a member of the Natural Church, what qualifications do you have to interfere..."

The meeting room fell silent for a moment. Everyone was sweating profusely as they looked at Wayne, who had come uninvited, fearing that he would suddenly use the Philosopher's Stone to sink the headquarters of the Dark Church.

What frightened everyone the most was that the white moonlight in their hearts, Saint Anastasia, stood next to Wayne.

"Your Excellency, you have betrayed me too...?"

"Impossible, Her Excellency the Saint must have been controlled!"

"Oh, yes, yes, I controlled the saint and tarnished her innocence, is that ok?"

Wayne snorted twice, and seeing everyone rushing forward, he quickly took out the Philosopher's Stone from his arms.

Everyone stepped back one after another, and the entire meeting room became a mess.

The atmosphere is really good, much more lively than the Nature Church!

Wayne made an assessment in his heart and looked at Kane in the crowd with a villain look on his face. It's you.

"Kane, right? I'm here at the order of the Dark Goddess to investigate the truth behind the death of the previous Dark Knight. You are the biggest suspect, so come with me."

"The Dark Knight..."

Kane's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a strong sense of uneasiness. After all, he had seen a lot of things, so he remained calm and said, "You are the oracle high priest of the Church of Nature. Why would the goddess look for you? This reason is too fake."

"Reality is so absurd. This is not a novel, so we have to consider logic."

Wayne patted the black-robed man beside him, Idenis, and pulled down his hood, revealing the face of the Dark Knight Weisz: "In order to prove that you are a murderer, I have brought the victim here as well!"

"what?!"

The meeting room was once again in chaos.

Although the Chosen Knights of God rarely show up in their respective churches, they do show up. Those present are all powerful people and know who Vichy is.

This is very scary. The Dark Knight Vichy has disappeared for many years, and the Dark Goddess has chosen another knight to replace her. It is not clear who that person is, but we only know that he appeared in London.

Now that we have a new knight, what happened to the old one?

"you you……"

Seeing this face, Kane's face turned pale. He raised his hand tremblingly and stammered, "Impossible, you... are not Lady Weisz."

"Who else could I be but Vichy, the noble and elegant goddess of darkness?" Idnes said with a smile.

"Nonsense! How dare you, blasphemer, pretend to be the Goddess? This is a capital crime!" Kane seized the opportunity to fight back and shouted loudly, wanting to chop the blasphemer who pretended to be the goddess into eight pieces.

"I'm very much looking forward to it." Idenis smiled.

"..."

Ivan: (;)
Please allow him to make a bold assumption, this person is, is... the goddess?
