While the entire human world was shocked by the news about the "Holy Son", the "Holy Son" did not enter the Holy Mountain as everyone expected. Instead, he secretly "recuperated" in the Palace of Light of a small country, the Merlot Kingdom.
There were several reasons for this "recuperation". The first was the "Holy Light Magic Robe".
Although he had the title of "Holy Son" on this trip to the Holy Mountain, his ultimate goal was to take Tiffany away and understand the Source of Creation. It was very likely that he would have to face the powerful forces of the 3 Angels of Light again. No matter how clever the plan was, it was impossible to resist the absolute suppression of the enemy's strength. Therefore, Chen Rui had to seize the time to master and strengthen his own combat power, which was equivalent to an extra chance of survival.
It took Chen Rui less than ten minutes to "subdue" the Crown of Thorns. At that time, the main reason was that Glalin overdrafted his life to activate the Crown of Thorns. However, because his body could not bear the power of the Crown of Thorns, the Crown of Thorns automatically chose him, who had the Body of Glorious Light. In other words, he had stolen the "fruits of labor" of Glalin.
In the Rayo Empire, after obtaining the Holy Grail, it took him three days to successfully analyze it. However, this Holy Light Magic Robe took him seven days.
The abilities of the Crown of Thorns were "Divine Healing" and "Divine Blessing", while the abilities of the Holy Grail were "Holy Protection" and "Holy Soul".
The Holy Light Magic Robe also had two abilities.
1. "Absolute Barrier" — create a protective force field with a diameter of five meters. Can defend against any form or strength of attack when immobile. Lasts for ten seconds. Can be used once every 24 hours.
2. "Split Light Holy Shadow" — 1. Split Light: create two doppelgangers. Lasts for five seconds. Can be used once every 24 hours. 2. Holy Shadow: accumulate enough light attribute energy to create a Projection Pearl. After using it, summon a projection to fight. The projection has half of the combat power of the original body. Lasts for up to one hour. If the projection fails or disappears, the light attribute energy must be gathered again to create it.
"Crown of Thorns" was equivalent to a logistical skill, healing, dispelling, and altering physique (of course, it also had a certain dispelling effect); "Holy Grail" was more of a combat support; "Holy Light Robe" was a true combat attribute.
"Absolute Barrier" could defend against any strength attack. This meant that even a Fake God couldn't break this barrier. It was the strongest defense. Although ten seconds seemed short, for a battle at Chen Rui's level, one second could change a lot and even reverse the entire situation.
"Diffraction" was a powerful attack skill. It was equivalent to splitting into three. Although the doppelgangers only had half of the main body's combat power, the power of some ultimate skills was not as simple as doubling or tripling. The specific example was Shura's "Supernova Starburst". Chen Rui tried the [Light Splitting] technique in the Super System's training ground and found that he could perform various moves at the same time, including killer moves such as [Scorching Dragon Roar] and [Red Extinction]. It was worth mentioning that the power of "Split Light" was not infinite. It was equivalent to overdrawing his own strength in advance. After using it, he would fall into a period of weakness. The stronger the move, the weaker it was.
But in any case, the advantages of this move outweighed the disadvantages. Especially when Chen Rui's current attack power had reached a bottleneck, this skill increased his attack power to a terrifying extent. As long as he used it at the right time, this "Split Light" was enough to kill a strong enemy in one blow.
As for the effect of "Holy Shadow", Chen Rui wanted to try it. He immediately lied that he had already understood half of the power of the holy object. Next, he needed a lot of light energy to be truly recognized by the holy robe.
Together with Chen Rui, Cardinal Glalin and the current Gemünden of the Cang Lei Temple accompanied Chen Rui to train in the Light Temple. Initially, they stayed in the Merlot Kingdom because of Chen Rui's special request to "comprehend the holy robe". When they heard that Chen Rui was about to be recognized by the holy object, they were overjoyed. They immediately transferred a large number of light type consumable treasures from all over the world.
The Church of Light was quite powerful. In a short time, Chen Rui had already obtained a large number of materials. However, the "appetite" of the holy robe was not small. It consumed half of the materials to complete the energy needed for "Holy Shadow".
After trying, Chen Rui experimented that this "Holy Shadow" had all his skills, including [Polar Transformation], but only half of his strength. Moreover, it was equivalent to the effect of a "battery". The more powerful the move or the greater the damage received, the faster the "battery" was consumed, and the shorter the duration of the clone.
In the experiment, he also discovered a very wonderful effect of the clone, which was the "connection" of the storage warehouse. The things obtained by the clone could be stored in the storage warehouse of the main body. This meant that the clone could go to some dangerous places to complete some special missions.
The second reason why Chen Rui did not go to the Holy Mountain immediately was Rolla and Isabella. As "guardians", the 2 women must go to the Holy Mountain together. If there was really danger, Chen Rui could keep them in the Super System in time or directly send them back to the Demon Realm.
However, these 2 "guardians" were problematic. Rolla was the guardian that should have been "dead". This was officially "canceled" by Chen Rui in front of Raphael. Although Isabella had the secret treasure "Evil Blue Tear" and the "Holy Scale" given by Dragon Emperor Palgoris, she was Demons after all. Palgoris's "Holy Scale" might be able to deceive ordinary super powerhouses, but it might not be able to deceive existences like the 3 supreme angels.
During his stay in the Merlot Kingdom, Ben Hong generously divided a bit of his soul power and taught the 2 women the secret technique "Breath Lock" that could disguise their appearance and breath. With the soul of a peak pseudo-god, coupled with this secret technique, the temperament of Isabella and Rolla changed considerably. Rolla was brimming with the breath of the emerald dragon, and her strength was shown to be at the early stage of the kingdom. On the other hand, Isabella looked like a real human.
This time, Ben Hong once again entered the six-star mark on Chen Rui's arm and went to the Holy Mountain together. Chen Rui and she were old rivals. Especially after he showed that he put Isabella and Rolla into "Space", Ben Hong had a new estimate of Chen Rui's strength and means. Both sides were well aware that they were using each other. At least before seeing the origin of creation, they would not fall out. It was meaningless to threaten Isabella and Rolla now.
After completing all the preparations, the "Holy Son" finally set off. Accompanied by Glalin and Gemünden, they entered the White Cliff through a teleportation array used by the church's higher-ups in the nearby kingdom.
As soon as they entered the White Cliff, they saw the Knights of Radiance lined up neatly on both sides of the passageway. They pulled out their longswords, held them in front of their chests, and knelt on one knee. Gemünden introduced them to Chen Rui. This was the highest etiquette of the Knights of Radiance.
Chen Rui nodded, quietly opened his collar, and glanced at the ring with the Ring of Blood hanging on it. Sure enough, it was emitting a rich luster. It seemed that Tiffany was still in the Holy Mountain of Light.
They rode all the way to the Holy Light City. Outside the city gate, Chen Rui was warmly welcomed. Behind the Knights of Light on both sides was a large group of believers, chanting the name "Arthur" loudly.
At the city gate was a guard of honor personally led by Pope Fandis.
The three heads of the Holy Mountain, Fendis, Pusmir, Eudora, Radiant Sword Saint Pasali, the two Cardinal Bishops, the Chief Inquisitor Theseus, all the archbishops … all the higher-ups of the Church had arrived.
Chen Rui had a strange feeling. This was his third time coming to the headquarters of the Church of Light. The first time was when he came here as Paul's follower to participate in the Selection of the Divine Knights. That time, he stole the Snow Tree. The second time was when he sneaked into the Sacred Mountain with Ben Hong in an attempt to obtain the Source of Creation. However, the moment he entered, his whereabouts were exposed, and he encountered the most terrifying enemy, Michael. In the end, he took the risk of taking the Windshadow Boots while the two False Gods were fighting. This time, it was obvious that he was up to no good as well. Yet, he was so brazen that even the Pope came to greet him personally. Leading a wolf into the house?
Just when everyone got off the horses and walked forward, Chen Rui felt that Isabella, who was beside him, suddenly shook. There was a strong spiritual fluctuation. He couldn't help but look at her, only to see that she was staring at a person in front of her.
Chen Rui followed her gaze and saw an acquaintance. It was one of the three giants, the Saintess Eudora!
Isabella quickly realized that she had lost her composure. She immediately suppressed the abnormal spiritual fluctuation and returned to normal. Chen Rui didn't ask in detail because Pope Fandis had already come to greet him.
"Welcome, Your Holiness Arthur."
Strictly speaking, the identity of the "Holy Son" was only equivalent to a cardinal, which was inferior to the patriarch. The highest spiritual leader along the way, the Pope, was even more incomparable. Unless he was specially conferred as a patriarch like Eudora, it was impossible to receive such courtesy and address from the Pope.
However, Arthur, the "Holy Son", was extraordinary. In addition to the special identity of the mechanic grand master, the most important thing was that he was recognized by the Crown of Thorns. In the situation where the Snow Tree was stolen and he couldn't convert his physique into light element, it was equivalent to controlling the future of the church. In addition to the recognition of the Supreme Angel Raphael, it was already a certainty that he would become the next Pope. Even if Fandis wanted to object, he couldn't do so. In terms of actual status, this' Holy Child 'was already on par with the Patriarch. Even though there had not been an official canonization ceremony, Vadis had already made his stance clear by addressing him as' Your Holiness'.
"You flatter me!" Chen Rui quickly bowed, "Your Holiness Fandis, it's my honor to be guided by Your Holiness to embark on the path of light."
"I heard that you have been recognized by the Crown of Thorns, the Holy Grail, and the Robe of Holy Light?" Fandis asked, intentionally spreading his voice far away.
"Yes, please forgive my rudeness." Chen Rui understood what Fandis meant. With a flash of white light, a snow-white robe appeared, faintly emitting silver light. On his head was a crystal clear crown, and in his hand was a silver-white cup that was brimming with milky white light.
When these three holy objects appeared at the same time, Chen Rui suddenly felt a strange power surging into his heart. It seemed to have triggered some kind of resonance. The resonance did not only originate from the three holy objects. Before Chen Rui came to White Cliff, he had used all three holy objects at the same time, but there was no such phenomenon.
The resonance became stronger and stronger. It was a powerful and uncontrollable force. Even with Chen Rui's current strength, he felt trembling.
The Holy Mountain of Light!
The entire Holy Mountain of Light was emitting a strong and pure power, which resonated with the three holy objects that Chen Rui had.
Not only Chen Rui himself, but the three magnates, the three cardinals, and even the ordinary believers could feel it. The light of the Crown of Thorns, the Holy Grail, and the Robe of Holy Light converged into one, forming a dazzling light.
Within the light, a strong "holy" aura spread in all directions.
Wherever this aura went, some of the weak believers or those with hidden diseases felt their bodies relax, as if their hidden diseases had been healed. They could not help but be overjoyed.
"A miracle!"
"This is the will of the God of Light!"
"The Holy Son has been blessed by the God!"
"…"
No one knew who shouted it, but the believers all knelt on the ground. Even the Knights of Light knelt on one knee.
Fandis originally only wanted to let Arthur show off the three holy objects to further solidify the reputation of the "Holy Son", which was equivalent to expressing his goodwill to Raphael, who now controlled the Holy Mountain. He did not expect this to happen.
The three magnates quickly exchanged glances and bowed to Chen Rui. The rest of the members of the Church also knelt on the ground and worshipped.
No, this is not the power of the gods, Chen Rui thought to himself. He had already felt the true nature of this power. Creation!
This is the power of the origin of creation!
