Invincible priest, out of the courtroom

Rorschach couldn't help asking.

Undertaker: Chapter 207 205. Arrival is Destruction

Karanna still couldn't speak, and remained silent, just a flash came to Rorschach, and then drifted deeper into the abandoned quarry.

Luo Xia could only shake his head helplessly, and followed her footsteps.

And his forehead was still beating non-stop, which was an inspiration reminding him that the crisis was not resolved, and hundreds of kilometers to the south, an evil god without authority was descending.

If he could fly by himself, he would definitely go back and work hard.

Although this is tantamount to shaking the tree by a gnat, with his current means, it can't stop anything.

And when this evil god named Edec Titan breaks out of its eggs, the entire city of oracle, and even the entire central plain, including the central mountain range and the southern countries, will all be destroyed in this catastrophe.

Those who look directly at him will fall into madness; those who listen to him will fall into monsters...

He didn't need to do anything, and he didn't need to use his authority. He could destroy everything just by coming.

In fact, in principle, gods cannot descend into this world. They can only exist in nothingness and chaos. The world that relies on order is as fragile as a bubble to them.

Weak enough to just fall is to destroy.

As for the Edec Titan, he was only the heir of the evil god 200 years ago, and his code name was "May the Wailing Turn into a Storm of Pain".

Through Randolph's betrayal, success came to the present world; and with the help of the knowledge accumulated by the hermits in "time", he hid himself in "time".

Therefore, He can disappear completely without a trace, and His whereabouts and existence cannot be recorded.

In this way, he escaped the gaze of the gods and the pursuit of the angels. In the near endless time, he absorbed strength and grew stronger until he was only the last authority away from the real god.

He waited patiently, waiting for the best time to seize power and become a god.

The entire Glory Sect exists to pave the way and prepare for that moment.

Not long ago, the righteous god Thanatus had just fallen, and the best time he had been waiting for had finally arrived.

And because of the previous foreshadowing and accumulation, he has become the most powerful contender for the lost power.

That's why the Glory Sect came out in full force, with the intention of establishing the Kingdom of God for Him and recruiting believers.

The existence of gods does not require believers, but it is necessary to maintain and compete for authority.

If the Kingdom of God that the Patriarch spoke of is really completed, then an extremely powerful evil god will really be born.

This was probably what the Patriarch wanted Rorschach to understand.

Rorschach, whose eyes turned golden, really understood.

Then he thwarted the enemy's plot without hesitation.

This was bound to draw the wrath of the Edectitan.

But as Rorschach has always insisted, justice cannot be compromised, even if it means destruction.

This is his insistence.

Also his madness.

"Okay, okay, I said earlier that the breakup was all because of my anger, and it was all my fault. I will solemnly apologize later, buy you a small gift, and then go on a date with you in the amusement park. Now I should send me back to church first. Bar?"

Rorschach followed Karanna for a while, but couldn't help apologizing, still using the scumbag skills he learned from love magazines.

He felt that it was really necessary to go back to church and pray now.

Although he also knew in his heart that even if other gods could do something right now, it would most likely be too late.

It takes a long time and complicated rituals for the righteous gods to project their power into the present world, send angels, or use their authority.

This is far slower than Edec Titan.

Even Avia, who is pure, true, good and beautiful, can only exert influence in the [Time Vortex] area.

So Luo Xia didn't want to sit still and pray silently, but wanted to try to see if he could use the artificial lake in the basement to do something.

In the end, he was forcibly dragged to such a ghostly place by Karanna...

But as he went deeper into this abandoned quarry, he gradually discovered something...

After entering the depths, he found more processed stone blocks, slabs, and stone pillars, and found some carved patterns on them, which were the ones he was very familiar with.

Although it has been severely weathered and blurred, Rorschach can still recognize that these are patterns related to the Holy See of the North and the goddess of war Orville.

Why are there traces of the Holy See in the Northland in a remote quarry hundreds of kilometers away from the Oracle City?

Luo Xia rubbed his chin, forced himself to calm down, and thought about it carefully.

Judging from the degree of abandonment here and the degree of weathering and fuzziness of these carved patterns, even if this place is not 1000 years old, at least a few hundred years...

That was probably when the Holy See of the Northland first preached to the City of Oracles?

Had these stones and pillars been fresh, they would have been quite fine and stately, and would certainly have been magnificent for a cathedral.

So here, there is a high probability that it was left when the Holy See of the Northland first preached.

They want to prepare the materials needed for the construction of the cathedral here.

It's just that the development of civilization in the whole world was not as advanced as it is today, and many aspects were quite backward. There was also a lack of building materials such as concrete that integrated alchemy, and the extremely primitive method of digging natural stone was still used.

As a result, the materials were not ready, the cathedral was not built, and the first mission of the Holy See in the Northland failed...

Only this quarry, which is so remote that no one cares about it, remains, which proves that they also worked hard back then.

And after Luo Xia calmed down and observed carefully, he gradually discovered that the distribution and arrangement of the stone pillars standing deep here are neat and orderly, and there is a vague sense of a church. Prototype?

It looks like a quarry for preparing raw materials, and an abandoned Northland church.

Just at this time, Karanna stopped suddenly, and then flashed back behind Rorschach, revealing several huge unfinished sculptures in front of her.

Each of these sculptures has the scale and momentum of the statue of Anastasia of the nuns. If it is finally completed, it will definitely be more gorgeous.

It's a pity that none of them have been completed, and the fastest progress is only at the chest position, and the head is still in the form of unprocessed rough stone.

They are being placed together, 100 meters apart, forming a faint circle.

In the middle of the circle, there is a bare, completely undug huge stone pillar, which is taller and more magnificent than the surrounding ones.

Rorschach thought for a while, and carefully observed the details of those sculptures.

"These sculptures don't seem to be interpreting the image of Orville. The one planned to be carved into the statue of Orville should be the largest one in the middle..."

"Then who do these sculptures symbolize?"

Undertaker: Chapter 208 206. Carve your name

Luo Xia walked towards these huge sculptures, the closer he got, the more he felt quite small in front of them, and he couldn't help but imagine that the towering unprocessed stone pillar in the middle, if it could be completed, would it be How magnificent is it?

There are eight such sculptures, surrounding the stone pillar in the middle like stars holding the moon. If they can be completed as a whole, and then arranged in a wide and grand square, what a magnificent scene will it be?

Perhaps the people who were busy here at the beginning had such expectations and longings and relied on pious and firm beliefs to persevere in such remote mountains with harsh conditions?

It's a pity that with the failure of the four missions of the Holy See in the North, this place has been abandoned for too long. I am afraid that no one still remembers this huge project buried in the mountains and years...

With a touch of regret, Luo Xia walked to the sculpture with the highest degree of completion, stretched out his hand to wipe off the dust accumulated on the base, and revealed a name that had been blurred for a long time:

"Redemption"

He raised his head again and looked at the statue carefully. Although the part above the chest has not been processed yet, it should depict an elegant, ethereal, holy and beautiful girl.

If it can be completed in the end, maybe it will be similar to Karanna, right?

Rorschach continued to walk towards the remaining seven statues in the distance, and looked at the names engraved on their bases:

War, Judgment, Commandment, Sanctuary, Civilization, and previously Redemption

Of the remaining two statues, the name of one of them was so blurred that it was completely impossible to read, but Luo Xia felt that it should be called "Healing"

And the last one is also the least complete. The base has just been cut, and there is no time to leave the name on it.

It may be that the image has not been designed, or it may be that the name has not been thought of?

Rorschach thought for a while, picked up the scepter in his hand, scratched it on the base, and carved the name for it:

"hope"

Finally, Luo Xia returned to the towering stone pillar that had not been polished at all in the middle, and looked up.

At this time, he realized what he should do in this moment of despair and destruction.

So he took off the holy flame mask on his face, knelt down in front of the stone pillar, closed his eyes, stroked his heart with his right hand, and began to pray in a low voice.

Obviously he didn't perform magic, but a dull hair on the top of his head naturally stood up, and a "rustling" electric blind sound began to come from his ears.

Rorschach didn't stop praying because of this little abnormality, and continued to pray in an extremely devout posture, motionless, as if he had become a member of the surrounding sculptures.

Karanna floated silently beside him, watched silently, and waited quietly.

........................

With the fall of the Patriarch and the imminent destruction, the situation in the city of the Oracle is also taking a turn for the worse.

The activity strongholds prepared by the Glory Sect did not stop because of the death of the Patriarch, but directly tore off the superficial camouflage, and began to become more and more crazy and weird.

The priests and nuns who were in charge of the performance turned into monsters in full view of the crowd, brandishing their scimitar-shaped arms and attacking the nearby people.

The orchestra and choir in charge of the performance no longer played pretentious hymns, but uttered low ravings in unison, calling out the name of Edec Titan, expecting and praying for his coming.

This place is no longer a pure propaganda site, but has directly evolved into a cult ritual site.

Even though a few places were destroyed by Rorschach before, and many places were attacked by the secret religion later, there are still more than 100 places that have not been dealt with in time, and they are still arranged along the central axis of the city, like a stick inserted into the city. A vicious dagger in the center, splitting the city in half.

To make matters worse, in large venues with orchestras and choirs, along with their evil ravings and supplications, patches of abyss-like nothingness and chaos emerged on the ground, from which emerged large numbers of monsters from 'historical' .

Although they also belong to the category of time projection, they are not limited to the time barrier, but can move freely and can kill everywhere, constantly harvesting blood and life.

This is obviously much better than the time projection manipulated by the Patriarch.

Perhaps there is no need to wait for Edec Titan to come in person, the city of oracle will be destroyed in advance.

But in this despair, there is still some good news.

The whole city finally woke up from the relaxing dream woven by the Glory Sect. The city guards, police, supernatural beings, and priests all quickly launched a counterattack under the command of the secret sect.

And the time enchantment that lost the control and presidency of the patriarch has become relatively fragile, and the way to crack it has also been found. It is no longer necessary to go to the dangerous situation like Weier before, and then use complicated instruments and procedures to crack it. With the help of other esoteric scholars, other orthodox religions are getting out of trouble one after another.

The original belief, the supreme true god, and the light of justice, the three so-called three orthodox sects, have all escaped the blockade of the time barrier, and are preparing for the tenth-level magic while mobilizing their respective armed forces.

Most of their crusaders and guardian knights are usually stationed in the remote outer city, and now they are rushing to the city, making the city's counterattack more and more powerful.

The Esoteric Cult also demonstrated extraordinary coordination and dispatching capabilities throughout the process. Under their organization and deployment, these resistance forces of different affiliations have been well used, and they went to their respective areas to perform their own tasks. Slay monsters, evacuate the people, establish a safe zone, and clean up the ritual venue.

And successfully achieved certain results. In just one hour, several ceremonial places of the Glory Sect were destroyed.

Even the most powerless ordinary people, in the face of such a critical moment, have shown amazing literacy and surprise in responding to disasters. Without too much panic and confusion, they can well suppress the fear in their hearts and actively cooperate with evacuation and disaster relief. take refuge.

These are things that Luo Xia can't feel or imagine in normal times.

Perhaps only at this critical moment, this city that has stood for thousands of years and has experienced countless crises can reflect her strong side.

Of course, the real biggest good news is not these.

It's just that they haven't realized yet that what is about to descend is an evil god...

They just feel a sense of crisis and uneasiness floating from the direction of the old street, and they don't know the real seriousness of the problem...

Undertaker: Chapter 209 207. Things that must be retrieved

"We repelled the monster's attack again, but the ammunition supply is about to run out..."

"Hang on, the crusaders belonging to 'Pal's Wisdom' are on their way to support them. They are well-trained and have sufficient firepower..."

"Are there still active priests? Some people here need healing!"

"A new contact came from the 'Enterprise', and a large number of enemies began to gather in the north. Damn...they can't kill them all?"

"Let the 'Enterprise' adjust its direction and provide us with air support... Where is the 'Victory'? Aren't they carrying the latest cannons imported from the North? This is her best stage..."

The Marquis who was stationed on the Victory Day Square, still blindfolded, silently listened to the orders issued by his subordinates and organized a counterattack.

This place has been temporarily arranged as a frontline command post and a civilian refuge, which seems quite noisy and chaotic, but everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Judging from the sand table on the table, after recovering from the initial chaos and having reinforcements from the Orthodox Church, several safety zones and advance bases have been successfully established. It was obviously much stronger when it got up earlier.
