The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.

"Such a strong sacred aura, is it possible that someone in the empire has integrated the Tears of Asha?"

Although it was a question, Kerrigan did not expect anyone to give him an answer, but instead instructed his men:

“Go and investigate what happened. If it was really the Empire that unearthed the Tears of Asha, I need to know the exact location.

Judging from the intuition, it should be the border between the Northern Empire and the Western Empire. There should be a grassland there, with few resources. Why would the Tears of Asha be erected in this place?"

The Abyss Lord in front of him, who looked like a giant beast, answered cautiously:

"It should be the grassland, right? Most of the humans controlled by the succubi are currently active in the Northern Empire and the Imperial Capital. Do you need me to mobilize some of them to go to the grassland to check it out?"

Kerrigan, who was lying on the bed, snorted and said, "Go, mobilize the spies from the Northern Empire. Those in the Imperial Capital should not act rashly."

The Abyss Lord thought for a moment and said, "By the way, the human who killed Prince Serlon that you asked me to investigate is also on the grassland. Do you want to take this opportunity to kill them all together?"

Kerrigan suddenly sat up straight, stroked the broken horn on his head and said, "No, just keep an eye on him.

We finally managed to seriously injure that old guy. Once our strength recovers, I will first destroy his lair.

Otherwise, when that old guy recovers and performs another divine descent, I’m afraid we’ll all be thrown back into the abyss.”

The Abyss Lord below also said with a look of fear:
"The divine art of summoning should not be able to exert more than 10% of the fighting power of the gods, but he easily deprived us of our abyssal origin. I have only recovered about 20% so far."

Kerrigan's true form was also a god-like existence in the abyss. He snorted coldly and said:

"Humph, at this stage, strength doesn't matter. He has reached the stage of playing with the rules.

However, he is just relying on his home turf. Do you think he dares to go to the abyss?"

The Lord of the Abyss was dejected. The God of War indeed did not dare to descend into the abyss.

But what is the abyss? Even the rulers of the abyss like them want to escape from it. What’s the use of having many advantages there?

Of course, he didn't dare say this to Kerrigan.

As the Pope's special focus, Kerrigan suffered far more injuries than any of them.

This can be seen from the fact that the Lord of the Abyss can still move and carry out tasks, while the strongest man in hell can only lie in bed and recuperate.

However, humans must be having a hard time too. Even the only Pope of Level 9, even the old monster who has lived for who knows how many years and relies on the fountain of life to survive, cannot withstand the power of the gods.

As a 9th-level Pope's ultimate move, the Divine Descent Technique has the deterrent power of a nuclear bomb.

This kind of deterrence is most effective only when it is triggered without being triggered. Didn't you see that before this, Kerrigan was unwilling to even get close to the imperial capital?

However, once this powerful force is used and fails to kill the opponent in one go, the deterrent effect will no longer exist.

Kerrigan lay in bed, thinking about how to take revenge on the person who had hurt him so much.

On Xu Lai's side, after comforting the residents, he received a teleportation request in the middle of the night.

After confirming that the initiator of the request came from Lionheart City, Xu Lai did not hesitate and made an exception to agree to the teleportation request in the evening.

Sure enough, those who walked out of the teleportation array were the temple priests from Holy Angel City.

Xu Lai was very familiar with the leading priest, he was the Crimson Bishop Durr.

Xu Lai personally went to meet this Crimson Bishop who had given Xu Lai a lot of help.

However, Bishop Dur, who had not been seen for a long time, did not greet Xu Lai immediately. Instead, he looked at the tall golden statue from a distance and saluted it first.

Xu Lai knew that among all the priests, except Anna, probably all of them would attach more importance to the statue of the God of War.

Of course, Xu Lai had nothing to mind, and there was no need to compete with a statue.

After the group of pastors finished praying, Xu Lai took the initiative to greet Durr and others.

The two sides did not chat much in public. They just exchanged a few casual greetings and, under the guidance of Elena, went to the Holy Church located in the core area of ​​Qingfeng City.

Although Xu Lai had been to this church several times, he had never been deep into it.

This time was the same. No one stopped and went straight into the soundproof secret room.

Even the pastor brought by Durr, the pastor who was originally stationed in the church, and Xu Lai's guards were unable to enter.

Roland was guarding the door outside himself, and only Elvy, the leader of the angels, was serving as a guard inside the secret room.

The news that Durr brought to Xu Lai must be kept cautious and confidential.

Even Elena benefited from Xu Lai's help. If it weren't for Xu Lai's relationship, who was in charge of all the priests in Qingfeng City and the grassland area, she would not be qualified to attend the lecture even if she had been promoted to archbishop.

Since Durr is so cautious, Xu Lai must also treat it with caution.

I temporarily put aside all the thoughts in my mind and listened attentively to the news brought by Dur.

"So, you're saying that you want to move the entire seminary here?"

Dur shook his head and said, “Not the entire Priest Academy, but the devout believers of His Majesty the God of War, the future priests.

They are not too young to go to the battlefield now.

They are just in the learning stage and have no combat experience, and we don’t even have enough teachers to train them.

Most of the teachers and main pastors will still remain in the Holy City.

His Holiness the Pope concluded that Kerrigan would inevitably launch an attack on the Holy City.

It is too dangerous to leave these little guys who have not yet grown up in the Holy City. If something happens, we will be blamed for it. "

Xu Lai smiled bitterly and said, "Indeed, they are the future of the temple, but the key is that you sent them to me, isn't it more dangerous?

Bishop Neil said before that I only had half a year. Now that I have erected the statue of the God of War, I am afraid I don’t even have half a year left.

If Kerrigan had led his men to attack us in the next two months, I would have no confidence in holding out."

Although Xu Lai had newly acquired god-level offensive skills, on the one hand, the gap in military strength between him and the enemy was too great, especially in terms of high-level soldiers.

Another reason is that the depth of the space is too small, and the only city he has recaptured is Conaston Castle.

Although Jimmy, who has been preparing for more than a month, has set out with the new army, no good news has been received yet.

But no news is good news. If he had really failed, Jimmy would have asked him for help long ago.

However, at the current rate, it would take at least half a year or even a year just to unify the grassland.

This is also the reason why Xu Lai is eager to complete the dungeon even at the cost of giving up his own interests.

His goal was to evacuate Reina and the Qingfeng Army as quickly as possible. He could have also put the Qingfeng Army in to unify the grassland as soon as possible.

But after erecting the statue of the God of War, he no longer dared to send out the Qingfeng Legion at will, for fear of any accidents in his hometown.

"Things are different now. I won't hide it from you. There is a serious problem with the health of His Holiness the Pope.

With such a good opportunity, there is a high probability that Kerrigan will directly launch an attack on Lionheart City.

Moreover, even if he wanted to capture Qingfeng City, he couldn't do it in a short period of time.

Although His Majesty the Pope took action to protect us, even Kerrigan did not expect it before His Majesty took action.

His Holiness the Pope, who has performed the art of divine descent, has become an existence that transcends the rules of this world.

This time, His Holiness the Pope launched a sneak attack, and Kerrigan's body was almost crushed into powder.

It's a pity that the energy consumption of the God's Descent Technique is too great, otherwise he would have almost sent all the main forces of the Hell Legion back to Hell."

"The magic of divine descent?" Xu Lai asked in surprise.

He really didn't understand what was happening in the Western Empire.

Bishop Dur sighed and said, “That’s right, the Divine Advent Technique, as the name implies, is a top-level divine technique that invites the God of War to possess you.

In order to perform this magic, two conditions must be met.

The first condition is that you must be a favored person of the God of War. Only the favored people of the gods have the least repulsion with the gods and can accommodate the greatest amount of divine power. "

Bishop Dur glanced at Xu Lai and said, "God's favored ones are not born, they need to be cultivated later.

The bodies of those favored by the gods must be permeated with divine power for a long time. When the gods cannot descend directly into the main material world, they can only use objects to baptize those favored by the gods. "

Xu Lai was not unfamiliar with the title of "The One Favored by God". When he was underground, the dragon lich he met said that he was the One Favored by God.

And because of his consistent good luck, Xu Lai also felt that he seemed to be a person favored by God.

Especially when he went to the City of Holy Angels, the Pope inexplicably gave him the obelisk map of the Hand of the God of War.

Xu Lai thought that after he obtained the Foot of the God of War, he seemed to have gradually been favored by the temple and received various kinds of help.

"You look at me like this, don't you think that I am also a person favored by God?"

Xu Lai asked cautiously. He was actually very sure in his heart, but he inexplicably didn't want to take on this identity.

Because to be honest, Xu believed that he had never taken advantage of the temple. At most, everyone helped each other. Even if it was an advantage, he only owed a favor for the map.

At the beginning, Dur had let him go to the grassland alone, hoping that Xu Lai could rely on his own strength to deal a heavy blow to the orc logistics troops in the stronghold.

Although he actually did it, the degree of danger at the time was far beyond what an opportunity to study at a military academy and a pair of knight gloves could make up for.

Dur laughed and said, "As far as I know, the only person in the world who has been personally bestowed with items by His Majesty the God of War is you, Brother Xu, besides His Majesty the Pope.

However, I don’t know whether you were the one favored by God half a year ago, but from today on, the identity of the one favored by God belongs to you.

Is there any other item in the world whose soaking effect can be compared to the War God Statue that has been fused with Asha's Tears?"

Xu Lai subconsciously touched the medal on his chest and asked, "Does that mean that after becoming a favored person, there is a possibility that His Majesty the God of War will possess me at any time?"

"Possessed? Haha, you think it's too simple.

First of all, the art of divine descent is not the art of possession. What is descended from the Temple of the God of War is only its own divine authority and power.

It is impossible for His Highness's original consciousness to descend, otherwise the main consciousness of the divine body will be wiped out instantly.

Secondly, communicating with the heavens, connecting with His Majesty the God of War, and using magic to break the barrier of the main material world, and also accommodating His Majesty the God of War's divine authority and power, is it something that ordinary magic can do?"

"Well, if you say so, then the Divine Descendant Spell is not an ordinary spell and cannot be performed casually?"

Dur shook his head and said, "Of course it cannot be performed casually. The power of the Divine Descent spell has already exceeded the limit of what this world can accommodate.

Therefore, this spell will not only be punished for casting a forbidden spell, but will also be squeezed by the will of the world.

The most important thing is that the divine authority and power of His Majesty the God of War are so powerful that even if he exists in this world for one second, it will be a horrific destruction to the body.

The Pope had to endure Kerrigan's desperate counterattack at the time, and he barely managed to hold on until returning to the Holy City, then immediately went into seclusion to recover.

However, under normal circumstances, when His Holiness the Pope uses the divine descent technique, he only needs to lose two or three years of his lifespan, and he will recover after being weak for about a year.

But this time, the Pope was seriously injured and his body was infected by the abyss. It is really hard to say when he will be able to recover.

Even if it can be recovered a little, it will definitely be far from the period of complete victory of His Holiness the Pope.

If Kerrigan gave up this great opportunity, he might be thrown back into the abyss by His Majesty at any time next time.

If it were you, knowing that an opponent who has the ability to kill you is extremely weak, would you first try to eliminate this only threat?"

Xu Lai said: "If I really only have this one enemy in this world, then I will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity."

Dur said in a deep voice: “In any case, you heroes sent from heaven have only been in this world for less than a year.

No matter how much Kerrigan cares about you, he will never think that you are comparable to His Holiness the Pope.

However, he is willing to believe in you, and he is willing to do his best to buy you more time, even if the price may be his life and the lives of the other bishops. "

Upon hearing this, Xu Lai was also filled with awe.

If Kerrigan really changes his goal, then the time Xu Lai gets will definitely be more than half a year.

"I understand. It just so happens that the outer wall of Qingfeng City is about to be completed, and most of the area is vacant. If you bring your followers and apprentices here, it will be a huge help to Qingfeng City.

I will ask Suya to come to you tomorrow. She will plan the houses and land for the believers of the temple on my behalf."

Dur waved his hand and said, "No, I don't have time to stay here. I came here just to check the statue of the God of War and say hello to you.

I will leave some priests to assist Elena. You should communicate with Elena on all matters.

Once the list of believers who need to be relocated is compiled, I will send it to her and we can make plans then."

Xu Lai nodded, and when he saw Dur was about to leave, he asked again:

"Oh, right, you just said that there are two necessary conditions for performing the Divine Descent Spell. One of them is to be a person favored by God. What about the other one?"

Dur glanced at Xu Lai and said with a smile, "The other condition is not difficult. Becoming the Pope of the Temple will qualify you to read and learn the art of divine descent.

Of course, becoming the Pope is not a necessary condition, but this spell has always been taught to the new Pope by the previous Pope." (End of this chapter)
