Isabella stared at the map in silence for a long time. "But the crazed army isn't Scourge. Although the drug can affect their minds, it won't give them an invincible will. In the face of a truly terrifying enemy, they will still be afraid and even flee. A million-strong army is enough to crush us into powder. "
"Of course it won't be that easy. Most of the candidates for the crazed army should be low-level believers of the church, and the Judgement Army should be the backbone." Zero returned to the window. "And in order to obtain so many believers, unifying the Four Kingdoms is a must."
"What are the chances of success?"
"Thirty percent? Fifty percent? " She replied carelessly, "How can I know the chances of success when fighting against an enemy I've never met and all the information comes from ancient books from 400 years ago? Don't forget what I said before... if we're lucky enough. "
It was precisely because of this that it could be considered as moving. Placing the fate of the entire human race on this gambling table, using a few chips to stake everything on a single throw, using small gains to win big … A battle where the outcome of the battle was already decided would not make people feel uneasy or excited. An unexpected harvest was the sweetest.
Whether mankind could survive or not depended on the courage, wisdom, faith, and sacrifice they displayed in this gamble. She thought that this was probably what God wanted to see... the weak would not be able to receive his smile.
"I hope you're right." Isabella curled her lips. "I'm getting more and more curious now."
"Curious about what?"
"If the 4th Prince of Graycastle were here, what would he do?"
Zero frowned. "Why, do you really think he can defeat me?"
"Bishop Tayfun said that there has been no news from the pure witch he sent to Graycastle, as if she had disappeared for no reason. And it was you who assigned that person to be the outpost of the Western Region. In addition, we also lost King's City's Aphrodite, bishop candidate Mira, and Longsong Stronghold's cathedral … "Isabella paused here," Don't you think, ever since the Church started to attack the Four Kingdoms, it has never suffered so many losses? It seems that whenever we get involved with the Western Region, we always suffer losses, as if... God is protecting them. "
"Enough!" Zero pounded the table fiercely. "You know nothing about God!"
Isabella was slightly taken aback. "I was just joking … Since when do you think God is so important?"
She suppressed the anger in her heart. "He's just a mortal! Mortals can only rely on schemes and knowledge, and these will become a part of me. Even if he has a good way to fight against the demons, the Union can definitely do better! " Zero turned around and stared at Isabella. "When the army of the church enters the Western Region of Graycastle, you will naturally know who is God's favorite."
When Isabella left the library, she sighed softly. "You're becoming more and more like a … pope."
Zero sat at the table in silence, unable to calm down for a long time. This was a rare occurrence for her, who had lived for more than 200 years, if not for the fact that God was involved.
She knew what Isabella meant, but she could not explain it to Isabella. No matter who became the pope, no matter what their original thoughts were, as long as they entered the Prayer Room, they would experience an unimaginable change.
"God... really exists."
Seeing that her thoughts were disturbed, Zero simply closed the book and walked to the top floor of the library.
It was the highest point of the Pivotal Secret Temple, where the Prayer Room was located.
Zero pushed open a secret door made of bookshelves, climbed up a narrow stone staircase, and walked into a closed room without windows. The room was only a few square steps wide, not even enough for a person to lie down. The ceiling was conical, with a Magic Stone emitting a faint blue luster embedded in it. In the dim light, Zero could faintly see the four walls and the hard floor. Apart from that, there was nothing in the room. It was hard to believe that this cramped and isolated place was actually the position closest to God.
Zero closed her eyes to feel its call.
Gradually, the pitch-black world began to change. It was as if something had leaped into her mind and directly unfolded a scene in her consciousness. She knew that this was not her imagination. Even after devouring hundreds of souls, it was still far from being able to construct a scene that she had never seen before, or even imagined.
When the twisted lines calmed down, four giant paintings appeared in the empty and boundless world... One of them floated above her head, forming a huge ring, and the other three were arranged in a triangular arrangement, standing upright beside her in turn.
This was the revelation of God.
It was a very strange feeling to see something in her mind. Zero knew that once she opened her eyes, all the scenes would disappear in an instant. She could only use her consciousness to observe each scroll. When her attention was focused on the scroll, she would have the illusion that she was sucked into it.
The giant ring painting at the top was undoubtedly God himself.
It was also a boundless world of darkness, with a huge red hemisphere hanging in the center. The sphere was made of substantial magic power, and just by looking at it, one could feel the infinite and surging power. The other half of the sphere seemed to have been cut off by a knife, and it seemed to be hidden in the darkness, with only half of it showing.
The more she looked at it, the more Zero believed in her judgment.
Because it was really too magnificent.
She was not even worth mentioning in front of this magic power. She could not even find the right words to describe how huge it was. Even the vast world under her feet paled in comparison to the red hemisphere. The magic whirlpool on its surface was wider than the sea, and the flickering magic light was more dazzling than the sun. Apart from God, who else could have such vast power?
The so-called "Bloody Moon Descent" in the Holy Book probably referred to its side. The round hemisphere indeed looked like an incomplete crescent moon.
Zero had tried to pray to it, but she did not get any response. It just quietly floated in the darkness, as if waiting for the final result of the Battle of Divine Will.
Because of this, she was extremely angry at Isabella's words. It would not protect anyone... After seeing it with her own eyes, she could clearly feel that for God, human beings were insignificant.
After withdrawing her consciousness, Zero looked at the three scrolls below.
She believed that the reason why the war that occurred every 400 years was called the Battle of Divine Will was inextricably linked to the contents of these paintings.
