Different from the city where candles are wafting, inside Saint Naluo cathedral, the deeper the rays, the fewer rays of light. The candles placed have already been extinguished, leaving only the solidified wax oil coating the ground.

Anthony moved towards the dark depths. The wall full of angels and demons slowly opened. After the gate of paradise, the elevator took Anthony to the darkest depths.

That is the border between paradise and hell, in the deep darkness, rotting dust is rolling.

There is no defense in the Temple of Stasis, not even the Demon Hunter. Only the new pope stays here alone. Since a certain day, he has been sitting on his knees by the well of sublimation, cold iron No one knew what he was thinking.

Everything is slowly falling, probably because of the conversation with Samuel, the long past is still continuously repeating before my eyes.

Anthony recalled.

He has always thought that he was shrouded in the radiance of faith, as long as he completely dedicate everything he has, God will sweep away his powerful enemies.

The fact is also true. In that nightmare night, he was the only person who was not afraid. He held Lance and pierced and nailed the burning Demon Hunter.

Anthony did it, and God did it, but for some reason, Anthony’s faith has not been firm since then.

He began to doubt.

“What is faith…”

He whispered.

Even after so long, the face of Demon Hunter before his death still flashed in front of his eyes continuously. He didn’t have any last words. He probably didn’t bother to say anything, but Anthony read the last in his gloomy eyes. question.

[Why? ]

After that, Anthony often suffered from insomnia, and in the deepest part of the night, he seemed to have returned to that bad night.

For example, to measure beliefs, Anthony doesn’t think he can compare to the Demon Hunter people. They are God’s most loyal swordsman. They are the front line against the dark. Only the most pious belief can make them survive the difficult trial, but in the end Such a person died in his own hands.

Or… in the hands of God.

So, what exactly is faith?

Is it a real unknown? Or is it just a tool for manipulating people’s minds?

It wasn’t until that moment that Anthony realized that he never seemed to understand what faith really is.

Everyone is a lost lamb, waiting for the farmer to harvest the day, amidst blood and corpses, a new paradise is piled up.

Anthony couldn’t understand it. After so many years, he still didn’t understand it.

He once asked about the respected old cardinal, and pursued the most pious pastor. Even the Reverend of the God Academy, he visited, but Anthony still couldn’t find the answer until one day, he met him in the alley. To someone…

The sound of metal friction awakened Anthony, allowing him to recover from his absence. The elevator had arrived at the Temple of Stasis. He did not hesitate to abandon the messy thoughts and moved towards the front.

The sound of footsteps is especially clear in this empty great hall. It is obviously deep underground, but there is a breeze, as if there are countless dead souls wandering in it, venting breath to the living.

Anthony can see the end of his field of vision, the silhouette kneeling by the abyss. He doesn’t know how long he has kept this action. The white robe is covered with dust, like a sculpture that is still placed.

If he hadn’t heard the faint gasp, Anthony might have mistakenly thought that the new pope was dead.

After all, he is indeed not far from death.

“Your Excellency, how are you?”

Anthony looked at him like this, worriedly said.

He also didn’t know exactly when all these changes happened. In short, when he found the new pope, he had been down in blood for a long time, and most of the blood had dried up.

Violent erosion remained beside the well of sublimation, as if some kind of evil Demon crawled out of the well and inflicted heavy damage on him.

Fortunately, the new pope did not die, but this raging erosion undoubtedly aggravated the corruption of his will. This time, the new pope did not know how long he could sustain it.

“I’m okay… at least temporarily can’t die.”

The silhouette of the new pope is hoarse, and his eyes from under the iron face look directly at the dark well, never leaving.

Anthony stood beside him. From a high position, he could clearly see the armor worn by the new pope. They were very thin, so they were easily covered by the robe, and the craftsmanship was not fine. On the contrary It’s very rough, just like it’s barely built into a prototype and then put into use.

This is Holy Silver’s armor, which can help the new Pope insulate from erosion. Similarly, it also isolates himself from the outside world. It is both an umbrella and a corresponding cage.

“I was just reminiscing about the past, and when I remembered, I fell into it…”

The new pope may have sensed the end of fate. He has always been indifferent, and he rarely expressed a little emotion, but this weak emotion is still so cold, as if he lost his temperature a long time ago.

“They always say that when a person dies, he will look back on his life and relive all the memories, just like living again in a short moment.

This is the time God has given you. God will audit your good deeds, count your sins in detail, and make a final judgment on you in a new review. “

The words of the new pope were paused, thinking of the guy named Lorenzo Holmos, the vague face of 047 in his memory, he continued.

“Unfortunately, from his intelligence, there is no god in this world, and what we hold in the last ages is nothing but a white lie.”

“Your belief… collapsed?”

Anthony said tentatively that he knew the offense of his words, but he was still curious to hear the new pope talk about it.

“No, this thing collapsed as early as Night of Advent, you should know.”

The new pope hesitated, he was thinking about how to express it.

“I just feel a little regretful, my consciousness is no longer sharp, my memory has become blurred, and those familiar faces have been forgotten one by one… I didn’t care about these, after all, we will eventually meet again in the retrospect of a lifetime , But now I can’t see them.”

“So I’m trying to review all this. Since there is no God to judge me, then let me judge myself by myself.”

The new pope let out a hoarse laugh, then lifts the head, looking up at Anthony.

“I just remembered when I met you.”

Anthony’s expression was a little surprised, and then those memories appeared in his mind, “I remember it was a thunderstorm night.”

“Yes, on a thunderstorm night, I blocked you in a dark alley. According to my expectation, I will avenge everyone, and you are on the list.”

“Because I killed Michael?”

“How is it possible, how can you kill him? Michael is so powerful, and you were just an ordinary mortal at the time,” the new pope sneered, then sighed, “He was just too tired, before he fell completely. , I was stabbed by you… But people’s anger always needs a catharsis, doesn’t it?”

Anthony did not respond.

Yes, according to the trajectory of fate, he should have died in that thunderstorm night, but like a tease of fate, everything moved towards another direction.

“You should have died there, but you survived,” the new pope remembered something and asked, “I never seemed to ask you, why did you say that at the time?” [19459002 ]

It’s strange to say that one is the sudden rise of the god secret sect emperor, and the other is the temple Knight who suddenly betrayed all the old cardinals. They are the real group. It stands to reason that they should know each other well, but sometimes they It seems that he has never known the other party, but has been adhering to the tacit understanding that some people can’t understand, all the way to now.

Anthony did not answer, but crash-bang rain rang in his ears.

In the night where cold rain and thunder were intertwined, Anthony looked at the man standing under the heavy rain, his eyes were rolling with rays of light similar to thunder.

At that moment, without saying more, Anthony knew who the other party was and what he was going to do, but before his death was approaching, he questioned the surviving Raphael.

“What exactly is faith?”

Anthony stood in the rain like a lost lamb.

Raphael had already mobilized secret blood. As long as he wanted, he could make Anthony struggle to die in the most desperate hell, allowing him to enjoy the same but more painful suffering of all Demon Hunter people before death. .

But when I heard Anthony’s words, for some reason, Raphael didn’t do anything.

Everyone, Demon Hunter, used to be a pastor, this is the only way in their career, Raphael is the same.

Looking at Anthony, he suddenly felt that he was not a madman who came for revenge, but a guide for lamb.

“We were united at that time. As for my reason, why did I say those words, in fact, it is just like what I said to you. I just want to know what faith is. Before I figure this out , I don’t want to die yet.”

Anthony replied and continued preaching along the vein of memory.

“Since the Night of Advent, I have been thinking about who is truly pious, the old cardinals who survived, or the Demon Hunter who died in battle?

Are they a group of mortals who pray every day, or are they monsters who have gone through battles and trials and guarded the gates of hell? “

He shook the head.

“I once stood on the side of the old cardinal, but they failed to give me the answer, so I want to stand on the side of the Demon Hunter this time, maybe you can give me the answer.”

Anthony stared into the abyss below. In order to figure out the answer, he also implanted secret blood and became a member of the Demon Hunter. It stands to reason that he should be closer to the answer, but it It seems to be still hidden inside the mist, hard to see.

“I think you may never find it again. God is false, and faith has never existed.” The new pope laughed, and a sharp whistle came from his throat.

Anthony was expressionless, he shook the head and rejected the words of the new pope.

“No, I think it is real, but we haven’t found it from the beginning to the end, I think…I will see it soon.”

“Oh? It sounds really good.”

The new pope wore an iron face, and no one could see his expression. After a while, he slowly said.

“In fact, I think you are never lost. You know exactly what you want, but now the lost person should be replaced by me.”

The new pope is telling the truth. After so much, his mentality has long become unpredictable, and everything he does is for the most extreme purpose, just like Michael’s incomprehension before his death.

[Why? ]

During the not-so-long reign of the new pope, all he did was to pursue the truth of the past. For this reason, he used power and poison to join forces with Anthony to kill one enemy after another, threatening the old cardinal, Chasing the exile.

He put on the crown of the pope, formed a new Order, and imprisoned the old pope in the well of sublimation until all the truth was dug out from his mind.

This is like a starting point. Since then, countless monsters have jumped onto the stage.

Ed Ren did not kill him. It may be that he is the Pope and Demon Hunter. It may also be that he needs someone to take care of the Well of Ascension, at least not to let it stay here without protection.

The new pope survived by fluke, and in the information sent to Lorenzo in the mouth of Ed Lun, all the truth was perfectly constructed.

He knew the original face of the world, and understood the reason for the Night of Advent.

It can be said that the obsession that has been supporting the new pope is relieved. He knows the “why” of all this, but after that, he is deeply confused.

The new pope finally reached the end, but after that, where should he go?

“Has he left?”

Anthony looked towards all around, the cold weird feeling disappeared a lot, and it seemed that Ed Lun had already left.

For this original watchman, Anthony’s mood is also very strange. He was once the Pope and Reverend, the leader of the first eastern campaign, integrating glory and merit in the existence of one body, but his final ending It has become such an Undying and Inextinguishable monster, wandering alone in this world, as if all of this comes from the curse of secret blood.

“Well, it seems that he was moved by Holmes, at least very interested. I think he is now in Old Turin, waiting for the target to appear.” The new pope said.

“You look a lot older.” Anthony shifted his gaze to the new pope.

“I’m wearing Holy Silver, even if Ed Lun wants to see me clearly, he needs to break my armor…”

“No, it’s breath, it can also be said that you have a demeanor and temperament. You now feel like a flame swaying in the wind. The power that has been supporting you to move forward has disappeared, and maybe you will go out in the next second.

Like a dark destiny. “

Anthony said sadly, in fact, he should be happy for the new pope, after all, he has completed all his obsessions, but he feels sad again, it seems that the ending is too bleak.

The new pope listened to him. During the time he was watching here, he also thought about these things. It seemed to end here, and it was not too bad, but there was still a trace of unwillingness in his heart, as if all this It shouldn’t be this ending.

“Destiny… I hate the term destiny, just as some people say that secret blood is a destined curse, and some people always blame some mistakes on these inexplicable words, as if it can justify mistakes.” [ 19459002]

He groaned and clenched fists repeatedly, as if feeling the power remaining in his body.

“If you lose a goal, set up a new goal,” the new pope said solemnly, “isn’t people supported by one goal after another?”

The nearly extinguished candlelight flickers and rises.
