A retired reincarnation of a certain American film.

Luke looked at the expression on Hill's face and already had the answer in his heart.

"What day?"

"On the day you made the deal with Mephisto."

Hill's tone was neither high nor low, and he spoke very calmly, and then looked at the expression on Luke's face: "There is news from the Vatican. Although the connection between the Holy See and heaven has been severed since the fifteenth century, The blessings of heaven are still there, and the power of faith is still there.”

But after that day.

Stop talking about faith.

The blessings are gone.

Now why has the Pope of the Holy See not appeared in public for three full months?
It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.

because……

"The Pope is dying."

"……what?"

"Reliable news."

Hill said so.

As a professional S.H.I.E.L.D. that acts as a firewall between the extraordinary world and the ordinary world, it is natural that it also has its own intelligence source in the Vatican.

According to reliable information, since the Holy See completely severed contact with the heaven dimension four months ago, although he was already over 70 years old, he looked young but was only 40 years old, with a strong body and even secretly able to control the Japanese. The little boy's pope, in just three months, has been aging rapidly, both in terms of physical function and appearance.

The latest news coming yesterday showed.

The Pope may want to G.

All this can be traced back to the fact that one day four months ago, the Holy See lost all contact with heaven.

And that day happened to be the day Luke made the deal with Mephisto.

"The light of heaven no longer shines."

"That's why."

Hill's eyes flickered: "It's almost impossible for the Paladins and monks to go to Texas this time."

In the past, the scene of the Holy See facing the devil, roaring "Holy light shines on me", and then rushing forward to fight the devil with its body glowing with milky white light can no longer appear.

This time in the battlefield between Texas and the devil, both the paladin and the monk were very stingy. They would never use the holy light that they had retained for many years of cultivation if they could use holy water.

And the Holy Light...

Hill couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth as he recalled the latest information.

“The reservoirs behind every church in Texas have been almost drained.”

"And it won't work without draining it."

"Because not only has the Holy Light in Heaven disappeared, but even the Holy Light cannot be produced again."

This is actually quite normal.

After all, whether it is holy light or holy water, they appear based on the connection between heaven and hell.

But Luke took away the power of life and death left on the earth in the heaven dimension, which was almost equivalent to taking away the passage between heaven and earth.

This is not.

The holy light is gone, and naturally, the holy water is gone too.

When Hill said this, he hesitated to speak.

"Can you..."

"I heard it."

"..."

Hill, who was interrupted, said nothing and looked at Luke.

Luke looked at Hill with a strange expression.

He finally understood.

Luke raised his eyebrows, touched his chin, and looked at Hill with a strange expression: "So, you came to me today because of this. Do you want me to return the authority of the heaven dimension that I snatched away at that time?"

Hill quickly shook his head and waved his hands: "No, no, no, I mean, can you take it out first and borrow it..."

Borrow some shit.

Luke interrupted on the spot and refused directly.

Just kidding.

As a senior reincarnator, I have always been forced to borrow things from others without repaying them. How can I lend things to others?

Moreover, what is lent is nothing but authority.

Luke wanted to laugh a little.

"Hill, do you know what you're talking about?"

"Ever heard of a saying?"

"Only power cannot be transferred to human hands."

What is authority.

It's the law.

It's fundamental.

is everything.

Hill looked at Luke who flatly refused and the expression on Luke's face, opened his mouth and sighed.

"Didn't I come here to discuss it with you?"

"Everything else is fine. This matter is non-negotiable."

If he now has enough power of life and death on the earth, then all the power of life and death on the earth is in his hands.

to be frank.

Based on his current relationship with Hill, if the latter really wants to borrow it, he will borrow it.

but now?
No.

He also hopes to plunder the power of life and death in the heaven dimension, thereby leveraging the rest of the power of life and death, and finally wrap it up.

Not to mention, it was actually not Hill who asked him to borrow authority, but the Holy See.

Hill glanced at Luke.

"There's really no negotiation?"

"No."

"Then the Holy See really has no need to exist."

"Haha." A sarcastic expression appeared at the corner of Luke's mouth. He also glanced at Hill, picked up his bourbon glass, and took a sip: "There is no need to exist, so just disappear. I don't believe it anyway. The Holy See, and the Holy See is rotten.”

One by one, they stopped playing devils and started playing little boys instead.

This Holy See...

It’s okay not to.

Hill lowered his eyes, looked at the cross necklace hanging around his neck, shook his head and said, "The Holy See is not rotten, it's just that some people are rotten."

When Lu Ke heard this, he shrugged and remained silent.

Is it the Holy See that is rotten, or some people that are rotten?

Nothing to do with him.

He will have no direct or indirect connection with the Holy See in the past, present, or even the future.

Even in depth.

The disappearance of the Holy See was a good thing for him.

He has already robbed the power of life and death left by the heaven dimension on the earth. He even used the Holy Spirit that he plundered at the moment of plundering the power of life and death to turn the soul-obsessed dimension into the angelic dimension, and also turned Heather into a new life. Angel Queen.

His very own angel queen.

but……

The battle of faith is never a simple matter.

Although nothing needs to be done in the current angel dimension, believers who believe in heaven also receive the Holy Spirit after death.

But in the final analysis, these holy spirits still believe in God, not the Queen of Angels.

and so!
The disappearance of the Holy See is not a bad thing.

Because right now, if Heather appears as the Queen of Angels, he doesn't have to think about it. Even if she is the Queen of Angels, the Holy See will not hesitate to put Heather into the heretic camp, and then call on believers around the world to boycott this person who may be pretended by the devil. Angel Queen.

This is normal and he understands it.

After all, who makes the Vatican eat only God’s rice bowl?

But still the same sentence.

Understanding is understanding, and this will not delay Lu Ke from killing him.

Just right.

The Holy See was defeated. Heather used the projection of the Queen of Angels and performed several miracles. Without the intervention of the Holy See, it was easy to completely take over the centuries-old store that the Holy See had managed to manage for centuries.

After taking over, there is no need for additional investment at all, and you will make money immediately after taking over.

why not.

When Luke thought about this, his heart moved, his eyes rolled, and then he looked at Hill, who looked a little melancholy, and sighed.

Hill raised his eyes and looked at Luke, feeling moved in his heart.

"Have you changed your mind?"

"No."

"..."

Hill's mouth twitched: "Then why are you sighing?"

I should be the one sighing.

You heretic!
Luke crossed his arms and placed them on the bar, looking at Hill with a smile: "You don't want the Holy See to disappear, maybe it's not because of your faith. At least, it's not largely because of this."

Hill raised his eyebrows: "What do you want to say."

indeed.

What she values ​​more than her faith is the extraordinary combat power of the Holy See.

no way.

Although Aegis is rich and has the support of the five overlords, it is still somewhat lacking in terms of foundation.

Moreover, what SHIELD is facing is not a group of extraordinary people, but a group of extraordinary people living on the earth. For this reason, we still don’t know how many there are.

Although over the years, Aegis has recruited some extraordinary combat forces that can provide help in dealing with extraordinary matters.

But those people mainly follow the tune but not the propaganda.

Not to mention Nick Fury, even Hill, after taking over Nick Fury's power, sometimes wanted to put X-gene suppression collars on the necks of those with extraordinary combat power.

When nothing happens, turn the restraint collar on, and then turn it on again when these people are needed.

Therefore, under such circumstances, a stable and extraordinary partner becomes extremely important.

Even if this extraordinary partner is seriously biased, even if this extraordinary partner still has some minor problems.

But from the overall perspective, this partner is competent.

The Holy See is such a partner.

Although the Holy See secretly likes to play with little boys, and its profession is biased toward purifying darkness, people are obedient.

Therefore, for such partners, what Aegis does is just beat them.

But what about Luke?

As soon as he came up, he directly pulled out the gas pipe of the Holy See, and directly plunged the already lonely Holy See into the abyss.

Once the Holy See loses its extraordinary power, it becomes an ordinary person. In this case, Aegis will naturally not cooperate with the Holy See.

As a result, the Holy See, which has lost its reputation for extraordinary combat power, to put it bluntly, it is a question whether the Vatican can still be saved.

After all, there are so many faiths on earth, why can the Vatican have its own country while other faiths don’t?

It’s not because you have the capital.

But now that the Vatican's capital for founding the country is gone, what kind of fate he will usher in is also not a guessing game.

Luke looked at Hill's somewhat melancholy expression and understood. He raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Without the Holy See, it will be gone. It's great. Let's find another partner."

Hill directly gave Luke a roll of his eyes: "To put it lightly, others don't know who to replace. I don't believe you don't know the situation of our SHIELD in the extraordinary world. Otherwise, if there is a Holy See to help now, it is estimated that the entire extraordinary world will be They won’t take us seriously.”

This is also true.

Extraordinary and different.

You can see that a certain extraordinary person treats ordinary people with the same attitude as he treats his own tribe, but you can't expect all extraordinary people to be like this.

What Aegis can do now is just to prevent extraordinary people from being too presumptuous in the ordinary world.

This……

It is still based on the help of the Holy See.
