"Our Lord has blessed us!"
"Praise the God of Light!"
"The great God of Light agrees to make His Highness the Holy Son the new pope!"
"His Highness Nicholas is going to become the new pope..."
Whether it was the Holy Father of Light, the higher-ups of the Curia, the representatives of the major forces, or the believers in the audience, they all looked at the blood-colored crystal falling from the sky.
Everyone knew that the great God of Light had blessed them, which meant that he agreed to crown His Highness Nicholas as emperor.
"Praise you, the great God of Light!"
Nicholas himself was even more excited. The great God of Light had agreed. As long as he assimilated the Divine Spark, he would officially become the 127th pope of the Curia and the Empire of Light.
By then, he would become the supreme ruler of the empire.
Moreover, once he assimilated the Divine Spark, his strength would skyrocket.
He would advance from an ordinary Sanctuary to the pinnacle of the Sanctuary and become one of the most powerful people in Auguland.
"After assimilating the Divine Spark, His Highness Nicholas will advance by leaps and bounds in the next few years and soon reach the pinnacle of the Sanctuary. By then, there will be very few people in the entire Auguland who can defeat him."
"Yes! After assimilating the Divine Spark, whether it is the improvement of the physical body or the breakthrough of the laws of heaven and earth, it will be as easy as drinking water. With His Highness Nicholas's talent, he may be able to reach the pinnacle of the Sanctuary in less than a year or two. "
"You two, it's time to change the way you address him."
"Ugh... Yes, yes! It's time to change the way you address him. "
People looked at the scene and could not hide their envy.
The Divine Spark!
It could be said to be one of the most precious and rare treasures in Auguland.
It could allow people to advance by leaps and bounds in a very short time and reach a terrifying height.
Unfortunately, this thing was too rare. Except for the God of Light and a few other Prime Gods, even the high and mighty True Gods did not have it.
Therefore, there was no place to do it.
"Hurry up! Come into my body! "
Nicholas stared at the slowly descending blood-colored crystal, unable to hide the desire and anticipation in his heart. It was getting closer and closer...
Swoosh!
However, just as the blood-colored crystal was about to land on Nicholas, a figure quietly appeared, reached out, and grabbed the Divine Spark.
(⊙ o ⊙)...
O ((⊙ ﹏ ⊙)) o...
At this moment, everyone was stunned.
The huge Light Square seemed to have paused as everyone stared at the figure who had suddenly appeared and forgot to react.
This was an important moment!
At such a crucial moment!
Someone had interfered!
What was going on?
"Boom!"
After a brief daze, the crowd burst into an uproar as they looked at Ling Jiu, who had suddenly appeared.
"Who is he?"
"What does he want?"
"How dare you!"
"Bastard!"
"Impudent!"
The high-ranking officials of the Light Curia were furious. Their aura swept out like a stormy wave toward Ling Jiu in the air.
The Holy Father of Light shouted, "Who are you? How dare you act so presumptuously here? You are simply looking down on the Light Curia!"
"Radiant Church?"
Ling Jiu chuckled and glanced at the Holy Father of Light. "Who do you think the Light Curia is? Why should I care?"
"Whoosh —"
The audience was in an uproar!
People looked at Ling Jiu as if they were looking at a monster. How dare he look down on the Light Curia?
Most importantly, this was the headquarters of the Light Church — the Holy Mountain of Light. The Brilliance Shrine was right in front of them, and all the higher-ups of the Light Church were here!
How dare he say such a thing?
Was his brain caught in Sister Feng's steel door, or was it kicked by a donkey?
"Impudent!"
The Holy Father of Light was enraged. His aura surged as he was about to take Ling Jiu down. But someone was faster.
Nicholas the Holy Son suddenly rose into the air and appeared in front of Ling Jiu. His face was indifferent, his eyes cold, and his voice as cold as ice.
"Heretic, you are guilty!
"First, trespassing on the Holy Mountain of Light!
"Second, interrupting the coronation ceremony without authorization!
"Third, insulting the Light Curia!
"Fourth, disrespecting the Great God of Light!
"These four major sins are heinous and unforgivable!"
Nicholas' body shone with holy light like the sun, exuding a holy aura. He was like an angel descending to the mortal world to judge evil.
"I punish you on behalf of the God of Light!"
Nicholas drew the long sword from his waist and raised it over his head. "Go to hell, you sinful heretic!"
"Shut up!"
Ling Jiu was annoyed and reached out to grab it.
"Boom!"
An invisible hand appeared out of thin air and grabbed Nicholas in an instant. Nicholas suddenly felt an irresistible force acting on him as it dragged him toward Ling Jiu.
"Open!"
"Open!"
Nicholas' expression changed dramatically. His body was engulfed in holy light as his Combat Aura of Light burst out like boiling water, frantically attacking the invisible hand on him.
But sadly, he found that he could not shake the invisible hand at all.
"Damn it! How is this possible? "
Nicholas roared wildly. With his early-stage Sanctuary-level cultivation, even someone at the peak of Sanctuary-level could not capture him so easily.
Ling Jiu!
This nameless person who popped out of nowhere actually did it?
"You are good at posturing, but that's all you're capable of."
Ling Jiu glanced at Nicholas and grabbed with his right hand. With a crack, Nicholas was instantly crushed into a cloud of blood mist.
Ling Jiu let go. Blood mixed with internal organs splattered down and fell on the square made of white Divine Stones of Light. It was a dazzling sight.
At this moment, there was dead silence in front of the Temple of Light.
No one thought that Ling Jiu would kill the Holy Son Nicholas. No, to be precise, it was Pope Nicholas.
The moment the God of Light gave his blessing, he became the new Pope.
"How … how dare you!"
The Holy Father of Light was trembling with anger, and the top echelons of the Light Curia were even more furious.
Killing the new Pope on the Holy Mountain of Light in front of so many people was not an act of disrespect to the Light Curia.
This was clearly a humiliation and provocation to the Light Curia. He did not take the Light Curia seriously at all.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A dozen streams of light rose into the sky and surrounded Ling Jiu.
All of them were wearing Armor of Light.
All of them were wearing Helmets of Light.
All of them were wearing Holy Swords of Light.
They were the 18 Knights Templar who had just protected Nicholas.
The Knights Templar were the highest-ranking, strongest, and most respected guardian knights of the Light Curia.
Some were responsible for protecting the Pope, some for guarding the Temple, and some for protecting the Holy Son.
These 18 Knights Templar were Nicholas' lifelong guardian knights.
When Nicholas was the Holy Son, they protected the Holy Son.
When Nicholas became the Holy Son, they protected the Holy Son.
But now, Nicholas was a dead man. What should they protect?
This was their dereliction of duty.
It was their disgrace.
They wanted to wash away this disgrace with Ling Jiu's blood.
"How many more are not afraid of death?"
