Lord of the Witches

Chapter 830: Brotherly War (25)

No. 5 Tang Qi gradually changed from a "handsome young man" to an old man. His body was old and weak, and he didn't have the slightest fighting spirit on his body, but his eyes seemed to be able to see the world clearly, shining with the light of wisdom.

When he was born, he exchanged a glance with his main body, showed a gentle and bright smile, and immediately stepped onto the ship of fools step by step.

The moment "No. 5 Tang Qi" boarded the boat, a mark suddenly lit up on the back of Tang Qi's hand.

That's a cute little blue octopus!

This imprint broke away from the back of Tang Qi's body in the light, and slowly landed on the back of "No. 5 Tang Qi".

Tang Qi, dressed as a wise man, watched the imprint of the monarch octopus branded on it.

Reaching out, he took off the boat lamp, tapped the wooden stick lightly, and the swaying Fool's Ship immediately tilted its bow and crashed into the void. Before disappearing, Tang Qi heard the voice of the old version of himself, which made people feel as gentle as a spring breeze.

"I'll bring back as many of those little ones as I can, they look so cute."

On the Backfast chair, Tang Qi, who was comforted by his avatar, smiled, but quickly retracted it.

In the next second, a fetish appeared in front of him.

Thorns of truth!

Originating from the fetish of Raphael, the ruler of thorns, as long as Tang Qi is willing, he can communicate directly with Raphael at the first thought.

With the friendship between the two, as long as he asks for help, Raphael will definitely lend a helping hand.

But in the end, Tang Qi did not move.

The thorns slowly disappeared, and his eyes fell on the "Fable of True Love" again through the phantom.

His reading progress is still stuck at "The Paradise of Desire: The Bloody Wedding". On the page presented, the most critical moment when the god of fertility, Ispatellani, marries a certain lord... Fu, who has come a long time ago but never appeared Lola, at the moment when Ispatellani was about to "take the oath", appeared to question, triggering a war that swept across the gods.

Suddenly, Tang Qi's expression froze slightly, he understood something.

"Pinning my two clones is just a trivial temptation."

"The time when the so-called 'Secret Web' is really launched will be..."

"January 10th, the official beginning of the extraordinary new era."

...

January 9th of the new calendar, Federal City of Carthage, Central Cathedral.

Across the gorgeous and majestic halls of the auditorium, in the deepest part of the church, there is a narrow and simple room, but at the moment it is full of holy light.

This is the "Holy Hall", the first room used for prayer when the headquarters of the New World Church was established.

There have been many holy miracles here, the light and the thorns have descended, the warm light of the mother has also shed, the oracle of salvation has been promulgated here, and the holy words of order have sounded here... In addition to these miracles, there are many extraordinary The source of the gossip legends in the world is also here.

For example, Holy Confessor Martin Sims and Holy Nun Teresa often "date" to quarrel here, and even fight under the watchful eyes of the gods of the light camp.

Of course, none of these gossip churches will admit it.

Especially after the two brothers, Bright and Thorn, separated and turned against each other, it was strictly forbidden to discuss the relationship between Thorn and Thorn within the church.

At this moment, for the first time, there was a vacant seat on the "long dining table" placed in the holy hall.

The long table was made of the first white oak tree felled by the first missionary who set foot in the New World. Although it was rough and primitive, as the years passed and it was bathed in the holy light for a long time, it has become a holy object.

It originally had six seats, corresponding to the Lord of Light, Lord of Thorns, Mother of Light, Goddess of Order, Son of Salvation and "Gods under the Holy Light".

The so-called gods under the holy light refer to Atilus, the god of weather, Gadot, the god of fertility, Minanado, the god of plague and death...these are all weak gods who voluntarily belong to the camp of light. Most of the realms of the gods are very fragile, and the authority of the gods they possess cannot be compared with the righteous gods.

Among the "all spirits" above the mystery, such weak gods are the majority.

The last seat is shared by all the gods.

Today, the seat belonging to Raphael is vacant.

At this moment, each of them was sitting in their seats, and the "figures" shrouded in holy light controlled themselves not to look at that position.

Chuck Mario Chrisworth, wearing a golden cassock and a bright crown, sat in the center of the long table. He was bathed in a warm and holy light. He issued an oracle from the "Master" in a vast and majestic voice:

"Everyone, before the dawn comes, please gather all warriors... We are going to a foreign land, we will fight the 'betrayer' in that cold ancient battlefield, under the watchful eye of the Lord, this is a holy war that does not allow failure , even in death, never retreat."

The new pope spit out this oracle, and the lights and shadows sitting on the other seats trembled.

In the light and shadow, there is an old nun, an old knight wearing bright armor, a lady in black robe exuding justice, and a priest with a complex expression.

The old nun who represented the "Mother of Light" had a look of sorrow and pity on her face. She hesitated for a moment, but still said:

"Your Highness, after dawn is a special day."

"The origin star will officially enter the extraordinary era. At that time, there will inevitably be chaos, organizations of the evil camp, or some dark evil gods will come out to cause trouble."

"If all the warriors of light leave Origin Star at this time, then..."

The old nun didn't finish her sentence, but all the representatives present understood the following words in an instant.

January tenth!

This is not only the time planned by the Condor Federation to disclose the existence of the mysterious side to hundreds of millions of people, the countries of the origin star will also do similar things on this day.

After tomorrow's dawn, TV speeches, newspaper headlines, publicity, and data declassification... The weird and terrifying, but infinitely wonderful extraordinary world will be fully displayed in front of billions of people on Origin Star.

There is no doubt that this day will become a time node similar to "Hanukkah", "Dark Day", and "End of Obscurity", and will be recorded in history, epics, and even myths.

No need to guess, the chaotic evil guys will not miss the opportunity to cause trouble on this day.

In fact, the major countries have already arranged plans to deal with it.

In the Condor Federation's plan, the Church of Light is an indispensable part.

But now, Chuck Mario Chrisworth, the new pope, said that he would transfer all the soldiers and go to a foreign land to fight a war.

Not only the old nun, who represented the Mother of Light, objected, but the rest of the representatives also expressed difficulty.

In addition to being embarrassed by the special date of "January 10", what made them even more helpless was the "foreign war" that the Pope called.

He didn't say it clearly, but everyone in the holy hall knew it.

That war refers to the battle between the camp of light and the camp of thorns that has been revived.

This is... a battle of brothers.

In fact, almost all extraordinary people in the extraordinary world know that there is bound to be a battle between the "ruling brothers" of light and thorns.

It can be inferred from the ending of the "Big Thorn Incident" that didn't end too long, that there were some unknown disputes between the Lord of Light and the Lord of Thorns in the cataclysm.

Raphael, the lord of thorns, broke away from the camp of light and revived his comrades who died in battle and lost control in the past. Now he has become independent as the "camp of thorns of truth", a new force born among all spirits.

Light once said: He will wait for the thorns to go up the holy mountain again, and pray for His forgiveness on the top of the mountain.

Conventional understanding, this sentence means that light will not initiate a war against thorns.

But now, Guangming seems to... repent?

With Charles I as the "Holy Spirit behind", Chuck Mario Chrisworth, who is already the god of the world, clearly felt the doubts in everyone's hearts and the resistance of the old nun.

This is normal, the old nun represents the Mother of Light.

The kind and benevolent "Mother Goddess of Light" is naturally unwilling to watch her two children go to war.

Chuck tilted his head slightly, watching the old nun in the Holy Light with solemn eyes, and a calm but majestic voice sounded:

"The Lord said, I once sprinkled the holy blood on the thorns, which contained my courage, strength, and wisdom... I allowed my brother to leave, but only when I took back my holy blood, can my brother wake up, and he will eventually go on. Holy Mountain, ask for my forgiveness."

Having said that, Chuck paused.

When everyone in the holy hall fell into deep thought, he said again: "This is not a cruel war, this is a benevolent war that washes blood with blood."

"The glory of the Lord is above all else. The many sufferings in the future are tests and trials. Only a devout lamb can bathe in the holy and stalwart light."

After the last sentence was finished, the people on the holy table fell silent.

The Pope has made it very clear that this is not a war of breaking promises.

The Lord of Light has no intention of targeting the Lord of Thorns, he just wants to take back the "holy blood" that he bestowed on Thorns in the ancient era.

As reasonable as it sounds, some breakup couples like to do the same thing, taking back gifts they once gave each other.

As for the people who may encounter bad luck on January 10, the sentence "the test of the Lord" has the final interpretation, and no one can refute it.

Facing this "oracle", even the old nun who represented the mother goddess could not object.

After being silent for a few seconds, she had to let out a sigh from the bottom of her heart, then lowered her head slightly, and said in a voice full of pity: "As you wish, Your Majesty the Pope."

"As you wish, Your Holiness the Pope."

The rest of the representatives spoke at the same time.

In the next second, their figures of holy light faded away.

Almost at the same time, the "Church of Light" shrouded in darkness suddenly began to operate, which was different from any time in the past.

To conquer foreign lands, even the church needs to mobilize almost all forces. Except for the army dominated by light, followers and warriors of dozens of gods who have remained silent in the past several major events, including the Mother of Light, the Son of Salvation, the Goddess of Order, and the Gods of Light Simultaneously start gathering.

A "Bright Army" that once ravaged hundreds of millions of countries in the Dark Era and killed an unknown number of evil gods is about to set off.
