Ark, they don't revolve around you

But Zhuang Ning had no intention of changing Sakota back to his original state, but instead went to the Pope.

He smiled and sighed, "In a sense, this is the first time we meet, Your Holiness."

"That's right." The Pope said coldly.

"There's no need to be so hostile. I've exchanged letters with you before, and we had a good relationship." Zhuang Ning expressed his sincerity to his prisoner: "Why did you have to wait until today?"

"That's because I don't know your identity." The Pope looked at him coldly.

"What am I?"

Evangelista XI paused and sighed, "You are an evil spirit that should be dead, but you are floating on the earth."

"...It seems that the law should tell you the truth about me." Zhuang Ning put aside his humility and said, "You still haven't answered my question."

"Are you asking me why I'm targeting you like this?"

"You should know that after I obtained the crown and the Originium, I had many possibilities and would not necessarily choose Lateran as the target of conquest." Zhuang Ning's confusion came from the heart.

With the support of the law, and Evangelista XI being no fool, how could he not know how powerful the Demon King is.

But instead of trying to please Zhuang Ning by saying that those who follow the will of heaven will prosper, while those who go against it will perish, he became even more hostile towards Zhuang Ning.

It’s like the ant knows that the elephant is going to pass by, but instead of retreating, it chooses to show hostility.

The Pope's actions were particularly excessive, and he would rather sacrifice the Sakota clan than eliminate Zhuang Ning.

does it worth?

Evangelista XI was silent for a long time, silently raised the corners of his mouth, and spread out his white beard.

A hoarse whisper came out of his mouth, containing melancholy, depression and anger: "You won't understand. You who think you are superior to us won't understand."

"Your civilization is gone, but our home is still there. I regard Terra as above everything else that is above my own race. I can give up my own race for the continuation of Terra!"

After hearing this, Zhuang Ning was stunned for more than ten seconds before he finally understood the meaning of these words.

I am Terra's enemy. Perhaps if they obey me, they may survive or even grow stronger, but the result will be that Terra's current civilization will be enslaved... Zhuang Ning thought and couldn't help laughing.

This Pope, who often lives with his own gods, may have lost his mind after being in contact with the law for too long, and actually came up with the idea of ​​a civilized community.

I really didn't expect to get this answer... The expression on Zhuang Ning's face faded little by little.

It is destined that no one will accept the Pope's kindness. On the contrary, future generations will inevitably denounce this Holy See and belittle him as worthless.

But this no longer mattered to Evangelista XI. He kept himself away from the world, looking indifferent, showing the pride of a martyr.

Zhuang Ning felt a slight pain.

How wonderful, noble man, that even death is not a punishment, but a relief.

So, how could Zhuang Ning be willing to allow the Pope to die?

The more he wanted to be martyred, to become a guiding star for future generations, and to be part of the resistance against the devil's tyranny, the more Zhuang Ning could not tolerate it.

"Your civilization is gone, but my home is still standing." Zhuang Ning applauded him, "Evangelista XI, I praise your selflessness and your greatness."

"I have decided not to execute you, and I have also decided not to destroy Lateran. I want you to see with your own eyes that the city of Lateran is growing stronger!"

The devil's words could not give Evangelista XI confidence, and a terrible guess emerged in the old man's mind.

This demon, could it be...

"Evil men do not understand righteousness, but those who seek the law understand it all."

"He who covers his sins will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will have mercy."

The scriptures of the Holy Scripture were spoken word by word, and what came out of Zhuang Ning's mouth was the most standard Lateran language.

He looked compassionate, like a priest about to preach, but the darkness in his eyes grew deeper. "So, Laterans, Sakotas, I allow you to confess your sins."

"I allow you to revive and take a good look at this world and the heaven you live in!"

In an instant, a huge emotion descended upon those countless machines.

Evangelista XI forgot one thing. He forgot what the continuation of civilization meant. He forgot what kind of miracles this demon king could evoke by holding the original source stone!

"Evangelista XI, you killed millions of these Sakotas in order to destroy me."

"You stripped away their souls and connected their thoughts to form the current situation."

"But don't you know what kind of miracle the Demon King is best at? It's resurrecting the dead!"

"If I awaken the spirits of those Sakota from the darkness, and they see that they have been transformed into machines, and understand how their Lord, the Pope they trust, sees them..."

"By then, how devastated they will be. Don't you think this is interesting, Your Holiness?"

Yes.

Of course Zhuang Ning can help them get rid of this mechanical mode.

But, that's not necessary!

When he has put the law to death, all will be his army and his property.

Machines must be more powerful than humans. Zhuang Ning is very satisfied with the transformation of Sakota by the Law.

After guessing this, wrinkles gradually gathered on the face of Evangelista XI, who had been defenseless just now.

His pupils were dilated and he stared straight ahead.

In this crazy dark night, he felt the most intense resentment, anger, fear and sadness.

The Originium that formed the core of the machines struggling in the pool of blood flickered wildly.

The Sakotas wrapped in armor woke up as if from a dream. They slowly opened their eyes, but they could no longer see the familiar figures.

When they woke up, they no longer had their bodies and turned into horrible monsters!

"Ah, why?!"

"Where is the Lord, where is the law... Who can tell me what is going on?!"

"Blood...so much blood. Today is clearly Christmas Eve...it hurts...so cold..."

"My Lord, where are you?"

"Lord, why do you allow us to become like this?!"

A machine prostrated itself, fell down devoutly, and wailed in a strange and slow voice: "Lord, why did you leave me?!"

This emotion quickly infected other companions and gradually permeated every Sakota.

Their sorrow seemed to flow like a river, filled with fear!

And high in the sky, Zhuang Ning looked down at the ugly appearance of the Sakota angel and listened to the endless complaints and curses.

He smiled, his mouth wide open, he had never felt so happy before.

Compared to killing someone, destroying their heart is always more pleasurable.

Just like now, he was in a river of negative emotions, but he repeatedly tasted fine wine and enjoyed its long aftertaste.

However, he had to suppress the smile on his face and make his face look solemn and majestic.

"Saktas, it is your Lord who caused everything."

"Your director was destroyed by the kingdom of heaven, leaving you to become like this!"

"It is your law that has betrayed you, along with your Pope, and made you what you are today!!!"

The sound struck the heart of every Sakota and was also reflected back to Evangelista XI.

The Pope, who was willing to be martyred, was able to withstand insults and abuse, but for the first time his expression was distorted.

But before he could even utter a word, pairs of crazy eyes turned towards the Pope, and the anger contained in those eyes was enough for them to tear him into pieces.

However, no angel did so, and Zhuang Ning still suppressed them.

Rather than death, he wanted the Pope to survive and see the Lateran's...rebirth!

There is nothing more pleasurable than this, right?

Zhuang Ning returned to the ground and came before the Pope with a smile.

Evangelista XI lowered his head and did not look at him.

Then I heard a deep voice flowing in the hot air: "Very good."

“The law is indeed salvation for you.”

"Even though I've just said this, there are still people who think deep down that this is my conspiracy."

With the help of the devil's power, Zhuang Ning can sense Sakota's mood.

They knew that perhaps only the law could do this, but they were unwilling to admit the collapse of their faith.

"In that case, we can only go one step further." He put his hand on the Pope's shoulder, smiled more humbly, took the guard gun from the Pope, threw it to the ground, and stomped on it to break it.

The flames grew larger and larger, burning brightly, reflecting the shadow of the tower.

Tower of Revelation. A thousand years ago, when Sakota abandoned the Sarkaz and wandered the earth, he came into contact with this tower in panic, and also came into contact with the laws beneath this tower.

Filled with joy, they knelt down devoutly and signed a contract with it. Over time, the Tower of Revelation became the place of salvation recorded in the Gospels.

The year before, the Pope had convened a summit of nations to discuss "disasters" that would affect all of Terra.

At that time, no one expected that Lateran would be overturned overnight. The girl born to Sakota and Sarkaz was permitted by the law. Everyone heard the ringing of the bells of the Tower of Revelation, and became more determined that their future would continue as before.

Now, Zhuang Ning looked at this ancient building next to the Pope's Hall and stroked its stone wall with his hand.

It's really ancient.

This is the pillar of the Sakota, in which their god is hidden.

The law has always been packaged as a god, and it is indeed time for everyone to witness the truth.

Crazy voices burst out, and in the city of Lateran, the Sakotas raised their heads and saw shadows gathering and hideously engulfing the Tower of Revelation.

As if announcing the collapse of the pillar leading to the gods, the stone tower that symbolizes salvation gradually disappeared.

Beneath the rubble and ruins, a huge cabinet appeared before everyone, with complex circuits and hubs forming its shape.

This...all the Sakotas felt shocked in their hearts.

You don't even have to think about it, you can just know intuitively that it is the law.

But is the law a machine? They were shocked mentally!
