Eternal Night

Chapter 118 The First Pope
Wu Xianxiao frowned.

It feels too cumbersome.

It’s not that heavy, but it seems too big?

Wu Xianxiao looked behind him and saw a twisted ball of flesh with a human head, long arms and legs, a torso tied into a bow, and long arms and legs and a long neck, tied to a flesh ball with broken wings and beaten all over, but still alive. On the surface of the flesh ball, there was a human head looking at everything around with a confused look.

The entire meat ball has a diameter of about two and a half meters. Although it is not heavy, it does seem very cumbersome.

Wu Xianxiao put the entire meat ball down from his back, then looked it left and right, frowning and thinking.

Mary was about to say something but stopped herself. Charlotte said with a very annoyed expression: "Hero, please don't...torment them anymore. Give them a quick death!"

Wu Xianxiao said dissatisfiedly: "How can you talk like that? They are monsters. They don't have true intelligence. Even their wisdom is actually false. Moreover, they don't feel pain. In fact, they are just pieces of meat."

Charlotte and Mary looked at the bird-horse head that was silently crying, and the puppeteer's head that kept twitching, and they were speechless.

Suddenly, the human head with a bird's body and a horse's body screamed in pain, and saw Wu Xianxiao holding two bloody giant wings in his hands. It tore the two wings off with force, and then the two wings turned into ashes and disappeared.

"What a pity, I can't turn into meat..."

Wu Xianxiao said regretfully.

Charlotte and Mary shuddered.

Wu Xianxiao was still unaware and continued to mutter to himself, "This puppeteer has at least three hundred years of practice, and this human-headed bird-horse has probably also had two hundred years of practice... What a pity."

In Wu Xianxiao's battle experience, the puppeteer is actually just full of fancy tricks. In terms of real strength, he is not as good as the giant boar monster that has been navigating for more than 300 years, or at least slightly worse. And this human-headed bird-horse is much worse than the giant boar monster.

Charlotte suppressed the chill in her heart and said, "This is a vulture beast, a kind of mythical creature. After all, it is the leader of the corridor area..."

Then he was speechless and could only watch Wu Xianxiao tearing at Ma Jiu and tearing off all the "extra" things.

Although it is still a meatball, it does look a lot more "refreshing".

Wu Xianxiao continued to carry the meat ball on his back and then strode forward.

Charlotte and Mary wiped the cold sweat from their heads and bodies and continued to follow behind.

Nothing happened that day, I just scared away a few hundred monsters, killed two elite monsters in the living room, and found a room to return to...

“…The above are all the facts that I personally experienced.”

Charlotte stood solemnly with her hands behind her back.

In front of them were more than a dozen old men dressed in the robes of bishops and archbishops, and there were seven suspended balls of light standing in the air, each with snow-white wings emerging from the light.

Joint meeting of the Supreme Council of the Holy See.

Originally, Charlotte was not qualified to attend a meeting of this level, but when he returned to the human world through the Return Space this time, he actually received a direct notice from the top leaders of the Vatican, asking him to attend this meeting. All the questions asked at the meeting were about the information about the hero that he and Mary followed.

Yes, there were also Vatican personnel in Hao Cheng’s team. Some of them were from a similar era to him, or were contemporaries. They returned to the world first, so as soon as he returned, he was immediately questioned by the top leaders.

One of the archbishops stretched out his hand and pointed, and immediately a picture of light appeared in the air.

"Have you reached the reception room in Demon City? What's its exact location?" asked the archbishop.

Charlotte identified the location on the map, and then with a thought, a white light appeared in the living room.

The bishop and the archbishop watched silently. At this time, one of the light groups said in an ethereal voice: "Show the positions of the commanders."

As Charlotte looked on in surprise, more than ten black spots of light appeared on the map. Except for the two darkest and largest spots of light at the highest point of Demon City, the other spots of light gathered in the library area, sewer area, reception room area, and arena area, and were still moving towards the reception room area.

Seven balls of light simultaneously emitted a similar ethereal voice, saying: "The Giant of the End has arrived at the end of the Age of Gods. The gods are perishing one by one. We don't have much time..."

"But the Demon City is also unreliable. The process of Chaos transforming into the Demon City is difficult to understand. There are mysteries in it that we cannot understand. This is also a huge disaster."

"So in addition to obtaining the status of Demon Lord of Castlevania, we also need to have a backup plan!"

"Go, Charlotte, guide this alien who can erase chaos to the graveyard, take him to the forgotten hall of light, the most powerful pope of all time will merge with him and become the vessel of God..."

"Go!"

Charlotte opened her eyes with a heavy heart and a confused mind, and saw Wu Xianxiao and Mary standing in front of her.

He returned to the human world for six months, saw his wife and children, recuperated, and confirmed that his wife and children indeed had good land and received monthly offerings from the Church. He no longer had to worry and returned to Demon Castle.

Wu Xianxiao nodded to Charlotte, turned around and walked out of the Return Room. Charlotte and Mary followed him immediately. As they walked, Mary asked, "What happened to the present world? You look so heavy."

Charlotte shook her head and simply asked, "Do you know what...the Hall of Light is?"

Mary is different from Charlotte. She is a direct disciple of the Vatican, while Charlotte is actually a mercenary. She knows many secrets of the Vatican that Charlotte does not know.

Mary nodded and said, "Yes, I know. It's a very old term. It was in the beginning of the Christian era when the Holy See was first established. The first Pope's training hall was also called the Hall of Light because of its radiance that penetrated the heavens and the earth. But starting from the second generation of Popes, it didn't have such great power, so it was later changed to the Pope's Hall. Later, the Pope's Hall also existed as a department and was no longer just a place."

Charlotte recalled the instructions given to him by the Archbishop and the seven angels before he returned to Demon Castle. They told Charlotte that she did not have to hide anything from Wu Xianxiao and could tell him the truth.

Charlotte said to Wu Xianxiao in front of her: "Hero, this time when I return to the world, the Church gave me an order."

Wu Xianxiao had already noticed that Charlotte was a little absent-minded, and he nodded as he walked to indicate that he understood.

Charlotte said, "Hero, the top leaders of the Church asked Mary and me to accompany you into the tomb area, and then take you to the Forgotten Hall of Light. They said that the strongest pope of all time will be waiting for you there, and will merge with you to become the vessel of God."

When Mary heard this, she exclaimed in surprise.

Wu Xianxiao said without even turning his head: "You told me so clearly? Prove that this is not some conspiracy?"

Charlotte shook her head and said with a puzzled look on her face: "I am also very confused, but the old guys in the Vatican told me to tell the truth and said that this is definitely not a conspiracy."

Wu Xianxiao nodded and asked again: "What is the container of God?"

Charlotte didn't know either, so she could only look at Mary. Mary immediately said, "It is said that the first generation of Pope possessed special power that could draw on the power of the gods. He could wipe out chaos, and he was the only person in the world who could completely wipe out chaos. It is recorded in the Dark Code that only gods can wipe out chaos, and the first generation of Pope was the vessel of God, who could draw on the power of God."

"Container, hehe."

Wu Xianxiao did not comment. He walked away and said, "Since it's not a conspiracy, I can't say much. As for turning into a container, let's not talk about it anymore."

Charlotte and Mary naturally stopped talking.

They also thought in their hearts that the top leaders of the Vatican were all idiots. It wasn’t a conspiracy, but they wanted to turn people into containers... Just hearing the word "container", could this be a good thing?
At this time, Charlotte said again: "By the way, hero, there is one more thing you need to pay attention to. This time when I returned to the world, the Church has learned that the commanders of various regions in Demon City are coming to the reception room. Except for the Demon King, the Dark Mage, and the God of Death, all other commanders are here. The Church suspects that their target is you!"

Wu Xianxiao frowned and asked in confusion: "No, why does my title attract so much hatred? Or is it because of the great victory over the puppet master and this vulture beast?"

Charlotte said, "No, there are also fights between the leaders of the Demon City. They are all monsters and only obey the orders of the Demon King. The Demon King doesn't care about these things at all, so it is very difficult to understand why these leaders gather together. The top leaders of the Church suspect that this may be related to your nature. You can also erase chaos like the first Pope."

"You mean this?"

Wu Xianxiao's heart moved, and the sleepless spiritual light emerged from his sea of ​​consciousness, and the light immediately spread around.

When illuminated by the light, Charlotte and Mary suddenly felt relaxed. Bursts of black air rose from their bodies and disappeared in the light. The two immediately felt as if their body and mind were cleansed.

"This is!?"

"Light? Holy light? No, God's power!?"

Both Charlotte and Mary were shocked. Mary immediately closed her eyes and felt it. After a moment, she said in disbelief, "Although this light is mysterious, its effect is only to purify and suppress negativity. But why can it even eliminate pollution? Incredible, really incredible!"

Wu Xianxiao withdrew his sleepless aura and continued walking forward without saying a word.

He probably knew why the sleepless night light could eliminate pollution.

This is not the effect of the Insomnia Aura itself, because in the main brain's description of the Insomnia Aura, the Insomnia Aura does indeed only have the effect of suppressing negativity and absorbing the negativity in his mind as fuel, and it does not describe the characteristics of eradicating and purifying pollution.

(It is the Mastermind’s judgment that is taking effect!)

Wu Xianxiao had this epiphany.

The Insomnia Light is a skill that has been judged by the main brain, so when it shines on pollution, it can purify and eliminate the pollution. This is not actually the characteristic of the Insomnia Light itself, but the effect of the main brain's "judgment".

He had long known that the main brain could completely eliminate pollution. When the voice-hearer body controlled by the Mother of No Birth entered Gaia, it was immediately transformed into a mortal creature after being judged by the main brain and its connection with the Mother of No Birth was severed.

Similarly, in this Demon City, Hao Cheng and other Gaia maintenance personnel built a building-type shelter, which then became the unique safe zone in the Demon City that could isolate itself from chaos pollution. They even made a fortune by speculating in real estate because of this.

It's not that their skills or personal abilities are extraordinary, but...

The Mastermind can purify and eliminate chaos pollution!

"So... the first Pope, could it be..."
