On the other side, Diogakas got a set of Templar equipment from somewhere and put it on, hiding among the Templars.

This guy was wearing the equipment of the Temple Army, but he didn't look out of place at all.

After Klansha finished talking to the deputy leader, she took Lin Yi towards the inner hall of the Vatican.

Although there are only a few members of the Holy See left, the defense of the inner hall is still strict and heavily guarded.

If it weren't for Kransha's guidance, Lin Yi and Diogakas would have encountered great obstacles if they wanted to force their way in.

Klansha stood in front of a strangely shaped elevator, which was shaped like an iron cage and was completely different from the common elevators.

This elevator is not powered by electricity, but by manpower.

"Open the door. I want to see His Majesty the Holy King."

Two Templar soldiers opened the elevator door for Krantha.

At the bottom of the cathedral, thousands of slaves toiled underground, their existence being to power this huge church.

Whenever someone needed to use the elevator, these slaves would begin their arduous task of manually moving the elevator up and down.

"Where are we going?" Lin Yi asked puzzledly.

"To solve some potential problems." Kransha explained, "If there is a conflict with the Holy King later, the Holy Temple Army will definitely become an obstacle for us."

After hearing what Klansa said, Lin Yi said nothing more. He just stood behind her silently, playing the role of a loser.

After the elevator slowly descended two floors, Krantha pressed the stop button, pushed open the door and stepped out first.

Lin Yi followed closely and walked into a dim corridor.

"Kransha, come here."

A bishop was quite puzzled when he saw Klansa, but before he could finish his question, Klansa pierced his heart with a sword.

The bishop stared at Kransha with eyes wide open in disbelief.

"Let's go. Not many people come to this floor on weekdays."

Lin Yi had put the hemp rope on his body into his personal space. He sensed the surroundings and found that this floor was very empty. In the distance, there was only a person who kept wailing.

Walking along the bright red carpet, Lin Yi and Klansha came to a room full of enclosed spaces.

In the center of the room there is a huge red ceiling, and under the ceiling is a huge bed.

On the bed, a nun was bound tightly with heavy chains, her arms raised above her head in an extremely twisted posture.

Compared to her thin body, the chains seemed particularly large and heavy.

The nun's skin was covered with dense holy marks, which intertwined and entangled in her flesh like the veins of another life.

The long-term torture caused the nun's body to be severely distorted.

Her face had become hideous and terrifying due to long-term suffering, and her once clear eyes now only held endless despair and resentment.

Lin Yi noticed that the original color of the bed in front of him should be white, and he could vaguely see some of the original color from the sheets at the foot of the bed.

Due to the blood stain, the bed has turned completely red.

"Socorro, here I come."

Hearing Kransha's voice, the monster in front of him, whose body was twisted by the torture of the painful miracle, slowly raised his head.

Although her body is no longer what it used to be, her eyes still reveal the shadow of her past.

She looked at Krantha with pleading eyes, begging Krantha to kill her.

The moment Socorro looked at Kransha, several holy seals on her body suddenly shone with light.

The next moment, Socorro's body was covered with injuries of varying degrees. Some of the wounds were so deep that the bones were visible, and some were bleeding profusely.

As the wound appeared, a miraculous power suddenly descended upon Socorro.

This power repaired her wounds at an astonishing speed. No matter how serious the injury was, it was healed in the blink of an eye.

Although this healing ability is miraculous, it cannot conceal the pain that Socorro has endured.

A large amount of blood gushed out of Socorro's body, dyeing the bed bright red again.

In Lin Yi's perception, Socorro's life source has been contaminated by the power of miracles, and the two are closely intertwined and difficult to separate.

Faced with this situation, even Lin Yi felt helpless.

Looking at the dying Socorro, Lin Yi stood in front of Socorro.

As if sensing something, Socorro raised his head with a weak breath, and the light in his eyes was extremely clear: kill her.

"I hope you won't come to this damn world again in your next life." Lin Yi said softly.

At the same time, his sword had already pierced Socorro's chest.

As the power of the abyss eroded him, Socorro felt that the miraculous power in his body was gradually dissipating.

The process of being eroded by the power of the abyss is extremely painful, but after experiencing countless tortures, Socorro has become numb to the pain.

The holy seals on her body disappeared one by one, and the fire of life was about to go out.

At this moment, a smile of relief appeared on Socorro's face.

"Thank you." She said these two words with her last bit of strength, and then her body began to drift away like a handful of yellow sand.

Socorro's life source is closely connected with the power of miracles. When the power of miracles disappears, her life also comes to an end.

[Kill Sister of Pain Socorro, obtain 5.2% of the Source of the World, and now obtain 82% of the Source of the World]

[Obtained the golden treasure chest, the kind one. ]

At the moment of Socorro's death, the Templars who were fighting in other parts of the continent realized that something was wrong and the holy seals on their bodies had become ineffective.

The reason why the Temple Army was able to suppress the rebels was largely due to the extraordinary powers granted by these holy seals.

On the battlefield, no matter what kind of damage they suffered, they could recover quickly in a short time, which made the Temple Army an almost invincible army.

But without the Holy Seal, the Temple Army is just a group of old soldiers.

Although the Temple Army was better equipped, the other rebel forces were not completely defenseless.

After all, the number of Temple troops is limited, and the Temple troops responsible for carrying out missions in the outside world usually carry out missions in small teams.

The cause of the battle was quite simple. The raging plague caused the civilians to suffer in dire straits.

The Church of Sorrow should be a place where ordinary people can seek hope and salvation, but at this moment it is closed.

What’s even more infuriating is that the price of holy water continues to rise.

This is not an official decision of the Vatican, but a choice made privately by some priests in an attempt to make a fortune from the plague.

As the pressure of life continued to increase and dissatisfaction accumulated, the desperate civilians finally launched a riot.

The place where the riot took place was the city that Lin Yi had visited before.

With the help of the Church of the Licker, some civilians were able to recover and escape from the clutches of death.

After experiencing life and death, they began to reflect deeply: Why should they risk their lives to serve those suffering members of the Vatican who were usually idle and turned a blind eye to the suffering of the people?

Driven by this sentiment and instigated by certain ambitious people, a large-scale rebellion eventually broke out in the city.

The City Lord's Mansion, as a symbol of power, was the first to be attacked.

After learning of the outbreak of the plague, the city lord hurriedly fled to the summer resort with his servants and thirteen concubines. Therefore, the defense of the city lord's mansion was extremely weak and was soon captured by the rebels.

However, the armory in the city lord's mansion became the rebels' spoils.

With these sophisticated weapons, the rebels' strength increased rapidly. They advanced rapidly all the way and soon reached the temple of the See of Pain.

At this moment, the Temple Army in the temple was fighting fiercely with the rebels.

The wound on Socorro's body just now was caused by this battle.

Faced with the well-equipped and highly motivated rebels, the Templars, although they possessed extraordinary capabilities, were gradually losing ground in terms of numbers and weapons and equipment.

If it weren't for the Holy Seal, they would have died countless times.

But unfortunately, because Lin Yi severed Socorro's connection with miracles, the painkillers and recovery potions that the Temple Army relied on instantly became ineffective.

The holy seal that originally granted them immortality has now lost its effectiveness and become worthless.

These holy seals could not transfer injuries out of thin air, nor could they provide them with a continuous supply of vitality.

Failing to notice the changes in the Holy Seal, an arrogant Templar soldier launched a desperate charge towards the rebel force, only to be chopped into meat paste by the rebels the next second.

The rebels looked at the fallen Temple soldiers and could hardly believe their eyes.

Just now, these Templars seemed to be assisted by God, and no matter how they attacked, it seemed difficult to cause fatal damage to him. However, at this moment, just by being stabbed through the heart, the Templar suddenly died.

"They have lost the protection of the gods. As expected, the gods can no longer tolerate their perverse behavior! Everyone, follow me and kill them!" An ambitious man shouted with his arms raised, and his voice echoed over the battlefield.

For a long time, they have been angry but unable to speak out because of the actions of the Holy See, but now, they see hope of overthrowing the rule of the Holy See.

"Sure enough, even God can't stand it anymore?"

"Great, these guys should have died a long time ago."

Under the instigation of the ambitious man, the surrounding rebels were like being brainwashed, and the fear and concerns in their hearts disappeared without a trace.

They had always been dissatisfied with the Church of Pain, but they had never dared to express it before.

After the speech, the leader disappeared in the crowd, quietly went to a dark corner and took off the black veil on his face.

If Lin Yi could stand here, he would find that the leader was actually the vegetable stall owner that Lin Yi met.

The vegetable stall owner originally planned to go to the Church of Sorrow and exchange his hard-earned gold coins for holy water to treat his two seriously ill children.

But the priest caught him off guard by suddenly raising the price.

Looking at the child wailing on the bed, the vegetable stall owner secretly contacted some vendors to incite the patient's family.

Unexpectedly, the effect was so significant that no one even said much. They just said, "Do you want to grab the holy water?" and the families of these patients automatically joined their team.

With a common goal, these people are fearless and brave.

Even before they died, their only request was that people around them bring holy water to their families.

This is also the only goal of their action this time. For the survival and hope of their families, they threw themselves into this battle without hesitation.

Right now, the Temple Army near the temple was caught in a bitter fight.

The Templar Army in this city is composed of a total of thirty people in a squadron. After all, this city is an important source of funds for the Holy See, so more people are allocated.

But at this moment, the number of rebels had exceeded a thousand. After losing the effect of the Holy Seal, the thirty soldiers of the Temple Army could only fight and retreat. They were about to retreat to the temple, and the situation was extremely critical.

"Has the call for help been sent out?"

The captain of the Templar Army asked a soldier behind him while defending against the attack in front of him.

"The call for help has been sent, Captain!" A soldier behind him responded, with a hint of anxiety and helplessness in his voice.

Their squadron only had thirty people in total, but they had to face more than a thousand rebels. You can imagine the enormous pressure they were under.

"It seems that riots have broken out in every city now, and they can't spare any manpower." A soldier behind him was holding a crystal ball, which could connect to other crystal balls.

But at this moment, there were shouts and cries of killing coming from the crystal ball one after another, and it was obvious that the situation in other places was not much better.

"Damn it, what about the Vatican? Let them send out a large army to suppress it, otherwise the situation will be out of control." The captain of the Templar Army said anxiously, but before he could finish his words, a spear suddenly pierced his chest.

The sudden attack made him freeze instantly, and then several long knives stabbed into his body at the same time.

Under the frenzied attack of the crowd, the squadron leader was quickly chopped into pieces.

At this moment in the Vatican, the captain of the Templar Army who was in charge of liaison was immersed in enjoyment.

He was lying on a large velvet bed with two beauties in his arms, completely oblivious to what was happening outside.

The other captains also lived an equally extravagant life. They did not take the rebellion outside seriously at all and believed that those civilians could never be a match for the Templars.

The crystal ball used for communication had already been thrown into the warehouse and locked up so as not to disturb their lives.

At this moment, the crystal ball in the warehouse was glowing slightly red, flashing a signal of crisis.

Few people come to this warehouse on weekdays, so no one notices anything unusual here.

The corruption and indifference of the Holy See undoubtedly exacerbated the chaotic situation outside, and the entire continent fell into an unprecedented crisis.

In the basement of the Cathedral of Our Lady of All Mothers, Krantha knelt on the ground, her hands clasped together, her lips trembling slightly, and she was confessing for Socorro, hoping that she could go to Mount Heaven and find eternal rest.

From Kransha's narration, Lin Yi also learned about Socorro's past.

Socorro was once a saint of the Church of Suffering, and she had a pure and kind heart.

However, that innocent kindness became the source of her pain under the strict rules of the Vatican.

When she witnessed the Templars torturing pagans and traitors in the Vatican, Socorro could not bear the cruel punishment and began to pray for those who were punished.

In accordance with the teachings of the Church of Passion, she prayed to the gods to relieve these people from their suffering, and was even willing to replace their punishment with her own suffering.

After praying day and night, a miracle finally happened.

Originally, Socorro had a pure wish, hoping to relieve the pain of those who were punished through his own prayers.

However, she never imagined that this starting point would trigger her personal nightmare.

After learning about the miracle that happened to Socorro, the Church of Pain became very interested in her abilities.

A bishop proposed that Socorro share the damage for the Templars, which not only provided a new "protection mechanism" for the Templars, but also happened to be in line with Socorro's deepest desire - to bear the pain for others.

This proposal was quickly unanimously agreed upon by all the bishops and the Holy King.

Socorro was then bound underground with iron chains, and her body was covered with dense holy seals, which became the bond between her and the Templars.

From then on, Socorro became the "painkillers" and "restoration potions" of the Templars.

Under her protection, the Templars gradually suppressed other forces on the continent and became invincible in every battle.

The only price was that Socorro would have to endure endless torture underground.

Whenever someone joins the Templar Army, the priest that Krantha just saw will carve a holy seal on Socorro's body.

The priest that Lin Yi had just met was the bishop who had originally proposed this idea.

Because of this proposal, he was nominated by everyone to be a cardinal.

His job was to keep an eye on Socorro to prevent him from getting into any accidents for other reasons.

However, Kransha's sword caught him off guard and he had no chance to send out any distress signal.

"Let's go, it's time to head to the Holy King Corridor."

After Klansa finished praying for Socorro, she stood up from the ground.

After witnessing the various evil deeds of the church, Krantha became more determined to overthrow the Vatican.

The two of them are currently located in the basement of the Cathedral of Our Lady of All Mothers. As long as they reach the second floor and walk through the corridor, they will be able to meet the Holy King.

Krantha pressed the elevator button again. As the elevator slowly rose, she held the cross sword tightly in her hand, ready for battle.

Of course, taking this opportunity, Lin Yi also summoned a few more soldiers from the Black Shadow Corps.

If any other situations arise, these soldiers of the Black Shadow Corps can cover the two of them and delay time.

"The ultimate halo."

"The chain of life."

"Divine blessing."

After Lin Yi added the buff to Kelansha, Kelansha felt as if she was reborn.

If her previous self were placed before her, the current Kransha was confident that she could defeat her previous self within three seconds.

The two took the elevator to the top floor, walked out of the elevator and stepped onto a long corridor.

The corridors are lined with paintings depicting the glorious past of the Papal Church, and each one tells the story of the glory and splendor of the Church.

Among these paintings, Lin Yi noticed the statues of the Mother of All Mothers and the Twisted Father carved on the stone pillars.

Blood kept dripping from the hands of the two stone statues and gathered in the pool below.

A strong smell of blood wafted into his nose, and Lin Yi immediately realized that all the blood was human blood.

Walking along the corridor, Lin Yi found that there was no one in the corridor. After all, this was the Holy King's Corridor, and ordinary members of the Holy See were not qualified to approach.

Only Klansha's special identity can directly meet the Holy King, otherwise Lin Yi can only get here by defeating the entire Holy See.

As the two continued walking along the stairs, a familiar voice suddenly rang in Lin Yi's ears: "Blasphemer, I wish you success."

He turned his head suddenly and was surprised to find that the nun he met before killing Tepidade appeared in his sight.

In just a moment, the nun disappeared from his sight again.

"Did you hear that?" Lin Yi asked Klansa subconsciously.

"What?" Klansha turned around in confusion, obviously not noticing the sound just now.

Lin Yi looked at Klansha, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to remain silent and did not tell her about the nun.
