"Since you are already here, why don't you have the courage to come in?"
The voice of an irritating man abruptly resounded in the air around us. He sounded courteous, but the arrogance and mockery in his bones were sent twenty meters away.
Pandora took out the nuclear bomb on the spot.
"You sure are calm."
I confiscated Pandora's nuclear bomb and pushed the door in front of me. However, it seemed that my first attempt was a failure. I don't know how many layers of reinforcement magic was applied on this door, but it was unexpectedly as sturdy as the armor of a starship. It was obvious that the person inside wasn't sincere.
"What a boring trick."
I shrugged my shoulders and lightly tapped the center of the door with my finger. In the next second, a violent explosion sounded and the entire ice door shattered into pieces.
Using an armor that contained energy to fight against a Master of Evoking, this was the most brainless action in the world.
What appeared in front of us was a huge room that was filled with oddities.
Just like the other cabins, this room was completely formed from ice-like crystals. However, the four walls and the floor beneath our feet were covered with complex patterns that looked like equilateral triangles. However, in terms of shape, it was impossible for such a pattern to form the room that we were in. Without a doubt, the power of magic filled this place, making the impossible possible in topology. Another strange aspect of this room was the ceiling that was so high that we couldn't see the top. This height had obviously exceeded the maximum volume of the Adriatic Queen, but there weren't any traces of spatial energy fluctuations. The microscopic laws of the world had been subtly deceived here, resulting in such a miraculous scene in front of us.
In the middle of the room was a huge ice ball, but I didn't see Sylvia's figure on it. A few men stood in front of the ice ball, quietly looking in the direction of the door. In the corner of the room, there were a few figures in black robes standing quietly. These people were the enemies of the core of the warship.
"Your strength isn't bad." After we entered, the golden-haired man standing at the very front opened his arms wide. "No wonder you were able to cause such a large area of chaos in the warship. It seems that even a monkey can be of some use when he goes crazy."
This guy was really arrogant.
The person who spoke was a tall and thin man who looked to be in his forties. He was dressed in a rather gorgeous priest's robe, and the exquisite lace all over his body could be used to arm a Liu Jinlong desk and two high-back glazed armchairs. He was ostentatious, and a large number of crosses hung around his neck. These crosses were fixed to several chains, forming many layers around his chest like growth rings. He had an aquiline nose, narrowed eyes, and a hint of arrogance and disdain at the corner of his mouth. It was clear that this was another Roman Orthodox fanatic who thought that the glory of the Lord was above everything else and that all pagans should die.
"Roman Orthodox guy, Bishop Diageo, right?"
I stood alone in the middle of the gate. Beside me were two violent people, one big and one small, who had committed murder and robbery.
The middle-aged bishop, who was covered in crosses, raised his eyebrows and said in a slightly surprised tone, "Oh? You know my name? Although the way you rushed in is quite idiotic, it seems that you aren't a complete fool who only has courage but no brains … Hmph, but since you are a pagan monkey who doesn't believe in the Lord, your little tricks are completely useless! "
"Lord, Lord, Lord, why do you Romans seem to have your brains fried by the Bible? Other than the glory of Jehovah, do you have no other interest in life?" I waved my hand in disgust. The Roman Orthodox Church was indeed much more detestable than the English Puritans. Although they were both believers of the Cross, at least the Roman Orthodox Church still had some rationality to speak of. There were also quite a few cute fellows in the Roman Orthodox Church. However, why were all the Roman Orthodox Church members so mentally unstable?
Hearing my words, the golden-haired priest in front of me actually didn't fly into a rage. Even though his face was already filled with anger, he still wore a cold smile and calmly said, "Only a foolish non-believer would say such foolish words. How could you heretical monkeys understand the glory of the Lord? But don't worry. Soon, I will mercifully show you the mercy and glory of the Lord. Then, I will grant you the most glorious purification! "
The middle-aged priest in a luxurious robe had a fanatical expression on his face. He spread his hands as if he was preaching. His words were dignified, but the sarcasm and disdain in his words were even more obvious. He even seemed to have the feeling that it was already the greatest honor for you pagans to be able to talk to you. Perhaps in his eyes, no matter how powerful the other party was, as long as they weren't believers of the Roman Orthodox Church, they would always be inferior existences.
However, I didn't think that this guy was an arrogant idiot who underestimated his enemies. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been given the important position of commanding the entire Queen's fleet.
Seeing that we were standing there without any reaction, Biagio frowned in disgust. Then, he waved his hand and said, "Purify these pagans. Our sacred mission has just begun."
As soon as he said that, a few figures in high priest robes standing in the corner of the large room suddenly moved and walked towards us in an orderly manner.
I waved my hand casually and said to Biagio, who was about to turn around, "Monkey, I'm talking to you!"
An intense energy resonance spread out, and a few Roman believers who were brimming with powerful magic waves were suddenly engulfed in intense blue flames as they walked towards us. In the blink of an eye, they turned into ashes that filled the sky.
The entire process was as easy as blowing out a candle.
This was the legendary Mana Combustion. Unfortunately, I hadn't figured out how to transform into a demon yet …
Biagio's calm expression froze for a moment. The scene just now was too strange. He didn't even have time to see the process of the Roman believers turning into ashes. Although they weren't as powerful as bishops, they were still relatively powerful magicians of the Roman Orthodox Church. Yet, they were burned to ashes with a wave of their hands as if they were flies. Even Biagio couldn't ignore such a strange power.
"… A metahuman from Campus City?"
Biagio couldn't feel the turbulence of magic power, so he naturally came to this conclusion. The person who would jump out to stop him at this time was most likely the power of Campus City.
"Whatever you say," I said, waggling my finger at the Romans who were already advancing beside Diageo, "deflagration."
"Back off!"
Biagio immediately shouted. The Roman believers who had just witnessed the tragic death of their colleagues suddenly looked flustered. In the end, nothing happened.
"I'm just messing with you, fool."
I shrugged my shoulders with an innocent expression.
"All of you, back off."
There was no anger on Biagio's face, but a solemn expression. He quickly cast a lot of defensive spells on himself and suddenly raised a cross.
"The cross represents the rejection of evil!"
The small golden cross flew into the air and suddenly expanded in a way that defied common sense of physics. It turned into several behemoths that were several meters long and wide and smashed towards us. Then, they suddenly stopped in midair.
Shallow Shallow gently extended a finger and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
"The Sands of Time represents the rejection of existence."
Even the darkened Qian Qian loved to play with it. As her voice trailed off, the cross in the air decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye, rusted, and shattered into pieces.
"This power …" Biagio's expression changed slightly. He knew what the original form of the cross was. The meaning of the crucifixion of Jesus was attached to it, allowing it to imitate the "essence" of the Son of God's execution. Its existence was stronger than any substance in the world. It could even be said that no physical attack in the world could destroy the illusory crosses. But the moment they turned into ashes, Biagio clearly felt something that could destroy everything attacking him.
"The Sands of Time vanish with the wind."
Shallow Shallow pointed her finger in Biagio's direction again. The middle-aged priest immediately jumped to the side and quickly pointed the cross in our direction. "The cross represents the rejection of evil …"
Biagio couldn't finish his sentence because the large pile of crosses hanging on his body had already turned into floating rust and iron slag. It was copper plating on iron! This guy is too much of a scammer.
That powerful spiritual equipment and Biagio's own magic power had resisted the Sands of Time in Shallow Shallow's hands and saved the priest's life. But unexpectedly, even at this point, the guy in front of me still didn't look hopeless. He slowly straightened his body and calmly tidied up his messy priest robe. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Pagan monkeys, it seems that I have indeed underestimated you. The power of the school city is indeed strong, but … do you think you have the upper hand now? Do you think you've succeeded just because you've invaded this place?! "
"See!"
Biagio laughed loudly and suddenly waved his hand. A few Roman believers who had retreated earlier immediately came forward and slowly pushed the huge ice ball in the middle of the room away.
Sylvia — she seemed to be unconscious, and she had been hidden behind the puck.
"Great and holy angel …"
Biagio bowed to Sylvia from afar with a hint of crazy reverence in his tone, which puzzled me.
"Your behavior doesn't seem to be respectful to an angel, does it? Using her as a tool and a sacrifice to achieve your ambitions, is this how you Roman Orthodox Church express your piety? "
"Don't you dare question my faith!" Biagio immediately pointed at me angrily. "The existence of angels is naturally to praise the glory of the Lord, but this angel has been polluted by you scientific people! She has forgotten her mission and even refused to contribute her power to the greatness of the Lord. What we are doing now is to restore the angel to her former glory. Only then can the glory of the Lord fill the entire world!! "
At this point, Biagio revealed an intoxicated expression and spread his hands. "That's right, we are right. We represent the will of the great Lord, and this angel will return to her glorious position with our help. You pagan monkeys will soon be the first to be purified!!"
Damn it, this guy really dares to do anything. He doesn't even see his behavior as disrespectful to an angel. The religious fanaticism in this guy's mind has made him mark all his actions as holy!
Shallow Shallow, who was ready to launch a second attack, could only hold back her ability. Sylvia was in the enemy's hands. Although she could control time, according to Lin Xue's prophecy, she couldn't see Shallow Shallow, so it was unknown how much her time control could affect Sylvia. If that silver-haired, slow-witted woman was an exaggerated all-around fantasy killer, then Sylvia wouldn't be able to be saved.
Although time control could be activated quickly, there was still about a second to activate the skill. Only God knew if Biagio had set up a spell on Sylvia that could be activated immediately. I wouldn't want Sylvia to take any risks.
"Hmph, monkeys are indeed monkeys." Biagio, of course, saw our scruples. He snorted disdainfully and turned his head away. "Soon, we will begin the first stage of preparation. I can magnanimously let you witness this sacred moment. Filthy science will soon disappear from this world!"
"Excuse me." I raised my hand with a harmless expression. "I have been talking for so long. Can you tell us what the Roman Orthodox Church's plan is? They plan to destroy the campus city? "
Biagio was slightly surprised, then he sneered. "Hmph, your guess is quite close. Anyway, there's no harm in telling you. If it was before, we could indeed use this spell to destroy the campus city and everything else. But now, with the angel's power, the Queen of the Adriatic Sea has become a powerful spell that can rival the power of God!"
There was an inexplicable radiance on the priest's face as he said loudly as if he was preaching, "The improved tactics can now not only lock onto a tangible city, it can also lock onto more intangible things, such as — all the scientific concepts in this world!"
"The Queen of the Adriatic Sea's attack will not only destroy the world's largest science center, but also all the scientific forces in the world! Everything that was created by science in this world would soon turn into ashes under the effects of tactics. The entire world would become a pure land without any scientific creations! Then, the new glorious era of the Roman Orthodox Church will come … "
Biagio's fanatical speech suddenly stopped, and the entire room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Shallow Shallow and I looked at each other. No one expected this guy's idea to be so crazy. No, it should be said that the Roman Orthodox Church's idea was so crazy. If they were to wipe out all the scientific and technological forces of mankind, then the entire civilization would be immersed in the power of religion forever. The Roman Orthodox Church would never allow a second technological renaissance!
If Via really had the power of an angel in her, it might really be possible to use magic to wipe out all scientific creations in the world!
After a short moment of silence, Shallow Shallow suddenly coughed, attracting everyone's attention.
"I have a few small questions." The girl with a smirk raised her hand. "Just treat it as killing time."
"I don't think you can play any tricks," Biagio said calmly. He seemed to be in a good mood.
"First question: The clothes you are wearing are made of cloth, right?"
Biagio was stunned. "Of course, even though it is enchanted with all kinds of magical powers."
"Then, I think even the pedantic Roman Orthodox Church wouldn't use cloth that is purely hand-woven. It should be something made by a loom. This should be a product of the power of science and technology, right?"
Biagio's expression instantly stiffened.
Then, Shallow Shallow happily came to a conclusion and clapped her hands. "In other words, the Roman Orthodox Church's real goal is to create an era where seven billion people in the world run around naked!"
I spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot. Can't this girl's way of thinking be more like a normal person's?
But according to this logic, Shallow Shallow's words are very likely. Heh …
"And there's a second point!"
Shallow Shallow's face glowed with excitement as if she had found a fun toy. "The food in the world now should also be produced with the help of scientific creations such as combine harvesters and fertilizers, right? Even the seeds. Could it be that the Roman Orthodox Church yearns for a world where all humans are naked, but also a world where people eat each other? "
Biagio's face quickly paled.
"And! And!" Shallow Shallow became more excited as she spoke. "What about cigarettes? Toilet paper? Medicine? At least 99% of the Roman Orthodox Church was born in the obstetrics and gynecology department, right? Did your mother take any fertility pills before you were born? If everything that was created by science is to be destroyed, does that include the humans that were born with the help of modern technology? It turns out that the Roman Orthodox Church is just looking for a heroic way to commit suicide … We have been guessing for so long … "
Girl … I love this girl with a strange way of thinking!
The expression on Biagio's face changed, and he finally broke down. "What kind of messed up logic is this?! What are you thinking?! "
Despite saying that, it was obvious that this unlucky priest was no longer as confident as he was at the beginning.
"The Sands of Time stare at the unknown future!"
At this moment, Shallow Shallow's voice suddenly rang through the hall. Biagio's reaction was fast. He knew that he had been tricked, so he immediately turned around and rushed in Sylvia's direction. The few believers around Sylvia also immediately activated the magic near the ice ball, but they were still a step too late because they were distracted. When they started to move, they were horrified to find that the magic in their bodies had begun to go out of control.
Just as the Roman believers were busy suppressing the magic in their bodies, Pandora, who had rushed out like lightning, had already cut through the bindings around Sylvia and snatched the unconscious silver-haired girl back.
