in the name of the queen.

Is Sophia really dead?

Roland still couldn't believe it.

The moment he left the Land of Death, he saw Sophia burning herself to activate the Absolute Domain so that the Queen of the Underworld and the area on the right side of the Styx would be buried with her.

He will never forget this scene.

But is Sophia really dead?
He still refused to believe it.

After returning to the real world, he rushed to the Summer Palace without having time to reunite with Sif after a long separation.

As he entered the Summer Palace, he heard Angelina's desperate sobbing, and his heart sank.

It’s over.

He came to the Summer Palace to confirm Sophia's life or death. After all, there were several high-level magic equipment bound to her soul stored here.

If she really died, these equipment would be freed from the soul binding state and become ownerless.

Perhaps Angelina sensed something, which is why she came to the Summer Palace to find the answer.

Obviously, this answer made her despair.

Roland quickly rushed into the back hall of the Summer Palace and saw Angelina crying in a daze, and her equipment scattered on the ground.

Seeing Roland, Angelina jumped up suddenly as if she had grasped the last straw.

"Roland, you've come just in time, Your Majesty."

Roland glanced at the magic equipment on the ground and sighed in his heart. His last hope was shattered.

He wanted to comfort Angelina, but he didn't know what to say.

He could only sigh, find a chair to sit down, and said softly: "Sophia dragged the Queen of the Underworld to destruction together."

"No!" Angelina let out a heart-wrenching wail.

Her eyes went dark and she passed out.

Roland sighed inwardly, caught Angelina, and placed her on the bench next to him.

His hands were shaking as he picked up the magic equipment that fell on the ground.

Sophia has a special meaning in Angelina's heart.

Her life was changed because of the Queen. Without the Queen's training and promotion, she would have rotted away in a village in a remote frontier.

Humans are not grass and trees, so how can they be ruthless?

Roland was also very sad, but he had to hold on.

Sophia is gone, but her wishes remain.

The three deserters must die. Roland cannot rest in peace unless they die.

After waiting for a long time, Angelina finally woke up from her coma.

She stared blankly at the magic equipment on the ground, listening to Roland's story about his experience in the Land of Death, tears already blurring her vision.

After hearing Sophia's last words, her spirits finally lifted a little.

"Last wish? Your Majesty's last wish?!"

She stood up suddenly, grabbed Roland's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Here is the handwritten letter left by His Majesty before he left. Come with me."

Roland was dragged out of the Summer Palace and headed to Angelina's bedroom.

The handwritten letter was locked in the safe. Angelina tremblingly fumbled for the key and opened the safe.

Sophia's handwritten letter was indeed a suicide note.

She spent a long time recalling Angelina's growth history. She was pleased with her progress but also regretful that she could not reach the top.

But in the end, Sophia asked Angelina to support Roland as the new emperor of the empire.

"Only Roland can lead us through the final stage. Trust him and support him!"

Angelina's expression was a little complicated.

She didn't expect the Queen to let Roland inherit the throne as Emperor of the Empire, but the order had to be carried out. She took a few deep breaths and tried to adjust her emotions.

"Roland, this is His Majesty's last wish. You..."

"I respect her wishes, and I vow to fight alongside the Empire until final victory."

"I will fully support you, and I will prepare for the coronation ceremony."

Angelina knelt on one knee, held Roland's hand, and whispered softly: "Your Majesty, you will avenge the late emperor, right?"

"On my life and soul, yes."

Roland extended his right hand, accepted Angelina's loyalty, and swore a solemn oath to Sophia and the empire.

It sounds ridiculous, but it is indeed the best arrangement.

If it is just about relationship, Sofia would certainly like Angelina to inherit, but she can't do that.

Roland has long served as the Cardinal Minister, the most powerful minister in the empire, and the hope of the entire plane to survive the final day of return.

If the Ruriks want to have a place in the new era, they must cling to Roland's thighs.

If Sophia were alive, she wouldn't have to worry about this at all, but she is dead after all.

She even thought of this ending when she went to the Land of the Dead.

If Angelina becomes the emperor, Roland will certainly take care of her for Sophia's sake, but it will only be a care. Her priority will be lower than Sussex, Golden Kite and even the New Magic Empire.

Sophia's personality would never accept a ranking other than championship.

She hoped that the Vladimir Empire would be the most important in Roland's heart, or at least one of the most important.

So she used her last favor to hand over the entire empire to Roland.

This is not a calculation, but an open card.

Roland accepted Sophia's arrangement without any hesitation.

Although they were once enemies and he had been forced to work for Sophia for many years, it was impossible for him to have no resentment at all, but all of this was in the past.

He owed Sophia a lot.

He had to do two things.

Win the final return day war, kill all three goddesses, and let the energy they took away return to the Theia plane.

The second thing is to reawaken after the plane restarts and find a way to get Sophia back.

She was indeed dead, but there was still a chance to come back.

Roland was not sad, he had to prepare for battle.

Is Sophia really dead?
The one who couldn't accept the news even more than Angelina was Tia.

In the past few years, although Tia did not receive the favor of the Lord of Light, she unexpectedly became the favorite of the Lord of Nothingness, and her status in the Divine Realm is much higher than before.

Although it was impossible for the Lord of Nothingness to marry a lower-level god, he acquiesced to her existence.

The Lord visited her several times, but the angels and servants of God had completely different attitudes toward her.

The Lord of Nothingness usually likes to stay at home in the palace and does not like gossip. This shocking news was brought by the Lord of Light.

Tia stood there in a daze, even asking a stupid question that she absolutely shouldn't have asked.

"Is the news true?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly knelt on one knee to apologize to the Lord of Light.

The Overlords are the most powerful beings in the Divine Realm. They possess eternal life, great strength, and endless power.

They have all-powerful hands and eyes, and can do anything.

It is indeed absurd to question the accuracy of the dominant intelligence.

Given the character of the Lord of Light, he would certainly severely punish such an offense.

Thinking of this, Tia's body trembled slightly and she was extremely scared.

However, she did not wait for the long whip of light like a storm, but instead waited for a smiling response.

"Don't doubt it, this is the news brought by Hades."

"That Sophia is indeed quite capable. She actually made the Queen of the Underworld and millions of underworld warriors be buried with her."

The Lord of Light had a complicated expression.

Sophia is one of the chosen ones of the Theia plane. She has the strongest strength and potential, and is the youngest, with unlimited future.

The first chosen one that the Lord of Light chose was Sophia. The qualifications of the chosen ones in the material plane are different, and their uses are also different in the eyes of the Lords.

People like Tia, who came to the bottom of the divine realm, are just slaves to the master. It’s okay to try them when he’s craving for something new, but he’ll just throw them aside when he gets tired of them.

Except for this guy, the Lord of Nothingness, who has no idea what's going on in his mind, no one else would pick up his used goods. It's okay to play with them, but who would really be tempted?

In short, for someone like Tia who barely reaches the threshold of being chosen by God, it is just a piece of cake to enter the divine realm.

God's chosen ones of the level of Poseidon and Demon King can enter the divine realm and serve as middle or lower-level servants of God, serving the master, or even command an army of angels.

They are excellent servants and the talents that the masters hope to recruit.

Sophia is different. Her strength is almost invincible in the same level. Once she reaches the realm of gods, she will soon become a real fighting force under the training of the master.

Most of them will be transformed into holy war angels and go to various material planes to perform special missions.

The material plane is far away from the divine realm, and there are always some local tyrants who take advantage of their distance from the divine realm to disrespect the gods.

Such people must be suppressed.

The lowest level of combat power to suppress the material plane is the God's Punishment Legion, slightly higher is the God's Servants, and the highest is the Holy War Angels.

Ordinary angels come out of divine pools of various attributes. Their strengths vary, but they are all soul slaves of the master.

As long as the master wants, he can destroy them with just a thought.

Although God's servants are also servants, they are no longer soul slaves and have certain room for advancement and potential.

The holy war angels are different. They did not come out of the God's Pool, but were outstanding geniuses who were guided from the material plane to the God's realm.

Most material planes cannot produce a Crusader Angel even after a complete reincarnation era.

There are holy war angels in every era, but it is hard to say whether they can grow up.

Sophia's value is more than a hundred times higher than Tia's.

The first chosen one by the Lord of Light was Sophia. He even thought of using the matter and energy of the entire material plane to create a holy war body for Sophia.

However, Sophia was eliminated in the political review.

The process was not that complicated. The Lord of Light directly projected his consciousness into Sophia's sea of ​​consciousness and read her mind through analysis.

Sophia has no faith. She believes that she can ascend to the divine realm with her own abilities and become a being on par with the master.

She didn't want to be anyone's servant or subordinate at all. She wanted to be the boss, the boss of God's Realm.

Others have rebellious tendencies in their heads, but Sophia is rebellious all over.

The Lord of Light was stunned, but unwilling to accept it.

He tried every possible way to make Sophia understand the greatness of the Lord.

"It is a great honor to be the master's dog. Others can't even ask for it."

The master wanted to engrave this thought imprint into Sophia's heart, but he woke Sophia up, and the thought imprint failed.

The Lord of Light could never get Sophia, and in disappointment, he deprived her of the chance to ascend to the divine realm, and gave the spot to the trio that was easiest to control.

Of course, the Lord of Light would not tell Tia about these little thoughts.

Some secrets are not worth hearing if you are not of a high enough level.

Tia’s level is obviously not enough.

Although Tia's status in the eyes of the Lord of Light is not as good as a street dog, he has to give face to the Lord of Nothingness.

The Lord of Nothingness is the most difficult person to deal with among the Lords.

No one likes him, but no one wants to offend him.

With the power he possesses, it is very easy for him to disgust people.

Since she is the woman that the Lord of Nothingness has taken a fancy to recently, then give her face.

"Tia, I will be attending a banquet soon, and I am afraid I will not be able to return for tens of thousands of years. Your hometown, Theia, will enter its final moments during the banquet. I will give it to you."

The Lord of Light thought of the treatment that the Lord of Nothingness had given to Tia, and said with some distress:

"I will give you three hundred angels of strength and wisdom, one hundred angels of thrones, and three angels of power and their corresponding armies."

"This team is enough to destroy the ordinary material plane. In addition, the Lord of Nothingness has prepared a larger army for you."

The Lord of Light smiled and said, "With such a powerful army, and your opponent Sophia is already dead, it will be easier to accomplish this task."

Tia was extremely surprised by the words of the Lord of Light.

She knelt down on one knee excitedly, and clearly felt the changes in the Lord of Light's body.

Without any hesitation, she knelt forward a few steps and raised her head slightly.

When clergymen kneel, it is not necessarily to pray, but may also be to serve.

The master gave her reassurance, and she would also eat up the master's worries and throbbing.

That's fair enough.

holy city.

Roland rode at full speed into the holy land of the Court of Light in the Theia plane.

It had been a long time since the last prayer, and Christine must have been waiting for a long time.

He didn't want to keep the Pope waiting.

Some things are better to be open and honest.

Roland walked into the cathedral and was somewhat surprised to see more hurried figures on both sides of the corridor.

He saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

Martin.

He was dressed in a cardinal's robe and looked majestic.

Roland suddenly remembered this guy.

He was the guy who was particularly good at reading people's expressions and respected him very much.

He is so slick that he doesn't look like a clergyman at all, but more like a businessman.

Seeing an old acquaintance, Roland smiled and took the initiative to greet him.

"Bishop Martin, long time no see."

"Disrespectful, please call me Cardinal Saint Martin."

The majestic voice was accompanied by a stern look. The cardinal turned around abruptly and was shocked to find that it was Roland, whom he had not seen for a long time. The majesty just now was instantly replaced by flattery.

"Your Highness Guangming, why are you here?"

Roland, the Knight of Light, was second only to the Pope in status, so his title became a problem.

Your Majesty is the exclusive title of the Pope, and no one else can usurp that title.

Although he knew that Christine had a special liking for Roland, there were some things that could not be done carelessly.

Using the honorific title to address the cardinal seems a bit disrespectful, comparing the great Roland with other cardinals.

The talented Bishop Martin was certainly not stumped and he found the most appropriate title.

Your Highness.

Slightly lower than His Majesty, but higher than other honorifics, it corresponds exactly to Roland's actual status within the Divine Court, second only to the Pope and higher than everyone else.

Roland thought this title was appropriate.

Except for the absurd misunderstanding that I became Christine's offspring, everything else was perfect.

After greeting Martin, Roland was about to enter the prayer room when Martin gritted his teeth and reminded him:

"Your Highness, His Holiness seems to be a little strange recently."

"How to say?"

"She's been very violent lately and has executed several disrespectful people."

Martin took a deep breath and lowered his voice: "I absolutely do not mean to slander His Holiness the Pope, but she has also been looking up books on whether saints can marry and have children."

"No one else knows about this, right?"

"No." Martin thought of a possibility and his body suddenly trembled.

Roland smiled and patted his shoulder, then said calmly, "Don't be nervous. I heard this from a few gossipy pastors."

Check the relevant books on whether saints can marry and have children?
Roland felt inexplicably uneasy. He was very worried about Christine. She was prone to extremes. Could something have happened to her? (End of this chapter)
