I really only stop

From Yuxia's messy expression, I probably understood the dream she had last night.The words uttered by the being who claimed to be "Holy Light"—that is, "in order to defeat disaster, give up everything in the holy scriptures and turn to power"—completely negated her "correct" side.

Because I was vaguely aware of this yesterday, Yuxia, who lost half of her support, subconsciously came to my side, seeking and relying on the half that has not collapsed.

... Thank you for her hard work.

Rubbing Miss Saintess' soft long hair, before she completely calmed down, Lu Xi didn't say a word, only giving her the company she needed most.

For a moment, the living room fell into a brief but steady calm.

----------

"...well, I'm probably fine."

Rubbing her reddened eye sockets, Miss Saintess sighed faintly:

"It would be great if I could use holy magic to get rid of eye swelling. When Celica and the others come back and see me like this, how should I explain it to them?"

"Based on your physical fitness, it is estimated that the swelling will subside in a few minutes."

Now I still remember how the saint who had lost her holy light easily pushed him down on the sofa just now. Even though the girl was temporarily unable to use holy spells, Lu Xi didn't mean to underestimate her:

"His Royal Highness, now that the relationship problem has been resolved, can we talk about the doubts from last night?"

"Nonsense! Who has emotional problems!"

She glared at Lu Xi shyly and angrily, and Yuxia, who had completely recovered her normal state, nodded:

"I have told you everything that happened to me last night, did you find anything wrong?"

"some."

Lucy opened the system notepad, and glanced at the notes that he just jotted down while he was busy:

"First question, did the so-called [Holy Light] tell you about me being a cadre of the Demon King's Army?"

"That's right, she said it herself."

Yuxia nodded affirmatively:

"At that time, I was still wondering, 'Is this the other party's way of separating us', but what I didn't expect was that she immediately explained, 'The Demon King Army is not my real enemy, [Calamity] is' .”

"Um……"

Lucy rubbed her chin thoughtfully.

For the enemy, the fact of [Yusia doesn't know that I am a cadre] is a sharper blade than any weapon. If the other party has evidence to prove this, she can use it to make Yusia fall into great chaos ——This is also the routine used by the villains in various works.

Many TV dramas do the same thing—the male protagonist who went undercover to the enemy’s interior accidentally fell in love with the female protagonist. After a burst of affection, the villain suddenly jumped out to expose the identity of the male protagonist and provoke the relationship between the male protagonist and the male protagonist. After experiencing many difficulties, the male protagonist Finally persuaded the heroine with true love and mouth escape, and finally the two integrated their respective forces and worked together to get rid of the real villain gorgeously.

The problem is that [Holy Light] did not do this.

She just exposed my identity very simply, and even explained it to me immediately afterwards, and pointed out Yuxia's real enemy [disaster], thus preventing her from falling into [love] and half collapsed. Troublesome situation, by the way, relieved my worries about [hatchet ending] and so on-from this point of view, she really helped me a lot.

However, is the existence that claims to be the Holy Light an enemy or a friend?Judgment about her position becomes extremely difficult.

"—Based on the information we have so far, it is better to treat her as a non-friend and non-enemy existence."

After serious consideration, Lu Xi came to this conclusion:

"You can't blindly trust her just because she didn't show hostility towards us. Speaking of which, Yuxia, are you really sure that what appeared in your dream was the [Holy Light] you believed in, and not other names pretending to be Holy Light? life form?"

"Before I woke up, I was 90.00% sure. Because the holy light surrounding her was far beyond human imagination, when I heard her speak, I had exactly the same feeling as when I received [Apocalypse]—and After waking up, I can be [-]% [-]% sure that it was the main body of [Holy Light] that appeared in my dream last night.”

Seriously recalling the feeling when facing the Holy Light, Yuxia opened her hands to Lu Xi:

"The fact that I can't use the Holy Art now is the best proof. I can clearly feel that it wasn't a curse or poison that stripped the Holy Light from my body, but an unimaginable will. To easily take back the grace of the Holy Light, except for the party that gave the grace, I can't think of anyone else who can do this."

[Your Excellency Commander, the observation data synchronization is complete, and now I will play the video recorded at midnight last night for you. 】

Coincidentally, Nova's report sounded at this moment.With a flash of light, the grand scene of the holy light leaping up last night appeared in front of Lu Xi.

Too much.

As far as Osiris can observe, there are many holy beams like stars jumping high from the quiet ground, turning into retrograde meteors, and rushing straight to the unknown sky beyond.

"If I'm not mistaken, each holy beam represents a priest."

The voice lowered a little at some point, and Miss Saintess looked at her hands with a sense of loss:

"As she announced last night, Holy Light has withdrawn all her favors. Only by following her footsteps in resisting the disaster can we use Holy Light again."

On the surface, Shengguang did not lie.

In order to survive the battle against the catastrophe that destroyed the world, she withdrew all her favors. Only those who are willing to accept more power and believe in her wholeheartedly can continue to become priests. Those who do not want to follow her, she naturally There is no need to provide them with power anymore.

A little heartless, but realistic enough to be understandable.

It's just that there seems to be a fatal problem hidden in it——

His gaze subconsciously turned to [Blessing of Holy Light] in his skill list, Lu Xi frowned.

[Holy Light], is it really an existence similar to [God]?

Chapter 817 Miracles Come

"When I first arrived in the Sanctuary, I heard from the Pope that the founder of the Holy Light system was the first saint, Ms. Hiyera...Your Excellency."

Accidentally remembered the appearance of the first saint again, Lu Xi changed his words instantly:

"I always thought that holy light, like water and fire, is just a type of energy. Is it really conscious?"

Since traveling to this world full of problems, Lu Xi has met demons, elves, werewolves, sea people... Among the many fantasy lives, he has never seen the existence of [God].

Even in the sanctuary, the headquarters of the church, there is only a statue of Miss Hiyera in the most central and most critical position, and there is no trace of the existence of the [God] in fantasy novels at all.

Now there suddenly appeared something that was almost equal to the God of Light. Even though her authenticity was certified by the Holy Maiden, Lu Xi subconsciously doubted it.

"...Actually, there has never been a record of the Holy Light being conscious in the classics, let alone appearing directly in front of the clergyman like yesterday."

Miss Saint shook her head. In fact, she was also surprised by this:

"It's just that it is an indisputable fact that she took back the holy light of all the priests by her own will. She can only be the holy light to achieve such a great deed."

This is a conclusion based on facts.When there is a certain existence that can raise its hand to explode the stars and annihilate the universe with a single thought, even if its real body is just a slime, all the remaining beings will call it a god.

With just one sentence, the sacred power of everyone including the natural saint Yuxia was withdrawn. No matter what the truth is, the essence of being able to do this kind of thing is no different from the real [Holy Light]——

——No, no, wait a minute.

Suddenly remembered something, Lu Xi's eyes suddenly fell back to his skill list.

Due to the effect of [Abandonment of Holy Light], all the skills of the Holy Art department were banned, and the Holy Light element was completely stripped from the environment - this is a fact confirmed in the morning.

however.

Locking firmly on a certain skill that he swiped just now, Lu Xi frowned subconsciously.

Why is [Holy Light's Blessing] in my skill list still... [on]?

------------

[All the clergy have lost their ability] - According to well-informed traveling merchants, this is not just a problem of the Rhine City family. All the churches in the world have submitted the same report.And this news undoubtedly exacerbated the uneasiness in people's hearts.

Compared to usual, the current Rhine City is noisier.Not only the adventurers who are always wandering outside, but also the shop owners and equipment craftsmen who have been setting up stalls at fixed locations have taken to the streets, watching what happened in front of them anxiously and apprehensively.

Among the bustling crowd, a tall puppet in a top hat moved away the passers-by in a polite manner, and two petite and lovely girls followed closely behind him, so as not to be caught by the restless crowd. Roll loose.

"...it's a mess."

Turning her head to look at the panicked expressions on the faces of passers-by, Nana grabbed Celica's arm uneasily:

"It seems that Yuxia is not the only one who can't use the holy art. Because of the powerlessness of the clergy, everyone fell into a state of bewilderment."

"Damn, what is this feeling of getting more and more anxious in my heart?"

He clenched his fists tightly, unlike the usual Chinese-two style of [Goo!my eyes!My eyes hurt so much! 】Different, Celica frowned tightly:

"Suddenly, I really want to release the black flames that will destroy the world here... No, no, hold back, you must hold back. This is just a conspiracy by the great demon Babbage, and I will never give in to the mere desire to destroy! "

If in normal times, seeing a petite child like Zelika running around the street yelling nonsense, the Rhine City Cavaliers, who are in charge of public security in the city, would have come up and asked, 'Where is your lord?'.

However, because of the huge anomaly that occurred this morning, the Cavaliers have no time to take care of such trivial matters. The impact of [all clergy lose their ability] is not just the disappearance of a convenient occupation, the activities of the entire adventurer industry, and the treatment and care of ordinary people will be seriously affected by this.

For people from other worlds who are used to [no matter what disease you have, as long as you are cured by the holy light], and have gradually eliminated traditional medicine since ten thousand years ago, the serious survival problems caused by this are the most concern with panic.

"——Please help my father! He has been suffering from a chronic illness, and his condition suddenly deteriorated early in the morning. I originally wanted to take him to the church in Rhine City for treatment, but the priests there have already..."

Weeping and telling the passers-by about his situation, the young man who drove his unconscious father to Rhine City with a cart fell powerlessly on the ground:

"The healing potions sold in the potion store are all for treating trauma or relieving abnormalities, why aren't there any potions that specifically deal with human diseases..."

Unable to intervene in the tragedy that happened in front of them, many onlookers felt sorry for what happened to the young people, but at the same time, they felt a bit of sadness.

In the chaotic situation brought about by the dissipation of the holy light, such a desperate guess is suppressed in everyone's heart:

Does it mean that we will be separated from the Holy Light forever——

【——】

——At this moment, an endless wave of holy light surged rapidly from the other side of the horizon.

In people's dull eyes, the majestic wave swept over the towering mountains and rolled across the vast grasslands with an unstoppable force. The tall and strong city walls of Rhine City were not even as big as the waves' feet in front of it.So easily, it swallowed everything within sight into its arms.

——Afterwards, it swept past so easily.

Like being swept across the face by a breeze, the endless wave of holy light did not bring any feeling to people.After leaving hallucinatory shocks, the intact people turned their heads in a daze, watching the waves continue to roll towards the other side at a fast speed.

what is this?Some kind of acrobatic show?

All of this happened so fast that before people had time to be afraid of the great and menacing wave, it quickly rolled out of people's sight.

Feeling carefully the momentary but eternal shock of being swept by the wave, there was no sound at all in the huge Laine city.

This is the impact and majesty brought by the transcendent power, even if nothing is left, it is enough to make a small existence speechless.

... No, it doesn't seem to be 【Nothing left】?

"Huh? Where am I?"

"—Father, father?! Are you okay?!"

The astonished conversation broke the tranquility of the entire city. People subconsciously followed the prestige, only to see that the old man who was unconscious just now sat up from the cart by himself, and his eyes were even brighter than the young man:

"All right? Of course I'm all right. Since I got sick, I haven't felt so well in my body!"

"???"

Not only the old man's son, but everyone who saw this scene froze in place.

Everyone saw the dying appearance of the old man just now. Why did he return to a healthy state in just a blink of an eye?

"Yes, it is [Holy Art]...!"

Responding belatedly, a certain cleric wandering on the street shouted as if awakened from a dream:

"That's right! The wave just now was [Holy Art Complete Healing]! But, the quality and effect...it's unimaginable!!"

No one knows their own sacred system better than the priests.But anyone who has learned a little bit of relevant knowledge can see what a [miracle] just appeared in front of their eyes.

Worldwide, there is no doubt that the wave just now is [worldwide sacred art]!

There is a certain existence who has applied a high-level [complete cure] to [all life forms] in the world with just one holy spell. There is no doubt that this is a miracle beyond imagination!

【——】

As if calculating the reaction time of the people, the moment the cleric spoke, the originally clear sky instantly became as dark as night.

Immediately afterwards, a majestic holy light like an aurora spread out in the sky, and just looking at it made people feel awe from the heart.

The next moment, a certain voice rang clearly in everyone's ears. It was obviously not loud, but it carried supreme majesty:

"All intellectual life forms, I am [Holy Light]."

——Just such a simple self-introduction instantly made everyone hold their breath.

Chapter 818 Spire of Light

"All intellectual life forms, I am [Holy Light]."

The voice that suddenly rang in my ears started with such a ridiculous-sounding self-introduction, but none of the people who heard it questioned it.
