Virtue is abundant

Chapter 114: Stealing the Rod!

Wu Xiaode narrowed his eyes and looked around.

The red scepter lay in the arms of the Pope.

The congregation murmured words of prayer.

Here are all believers, no one would think that someone would dare to snatch the scepter.

——In fact, I can go up and grab it now.

But the Pope is the agent of the Cyclops in the prison, and the Cyclops guards the way of death.

Could it be that the Pope just left a mess and left?

Either way, he's bound to make arrangements.

Just as Wu Xiaode was thinking like this, the Book of the Undead suddenly fell down, and a line of small ice crystal characters quickly appeared:
"The current scepter is under the seal of the curse and cannot be used."

Wu Xiaode scratched his head.

Hell, this scepter was really sealed.

Are you afraid of being stolen?

It seems that there is another way to do it.

Besides--

And a white scepter?
He turned his gaze and swept across the crowd in the church.

Now is the last moment of destruction.

The rest of the entire holy religion is crowded here.

If the white scepter hadn't been lost—

It should be here too.

Wu Xiaode's eyes searched for a while, and then settled in a certain corner.

The white scepter of this parallel world was leaning against a corner, and beside it was only a bishop with a dejected expression.

"Bai, destroy that scepter in a while." Wu Xiaode whispered.

"Okay." Baihu replied.

"Would you like to eat something first?" the white-robed bishop asked.

"What?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Some human meat, pickled - we haven't obtained other food for a long time." The white robe said.

"Where did the human flesh come from? Is there enough to eat?" Wu Xiaode asked with concern.

"All non-believers in the city were killed, and those who were not pure believers were also made into bacon, which can last for a long time." The white-robed bishop grinned.

Wu Xiaode's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a low voice: "They deserve it, this is the fate of not believing in religion."

"That's right, they can only be eaten." The white-robed master said.

"By the way, I do have a question - how to create a new pope?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"God will choose a new pope."

"How to tell?"

"He's the strongest among us."

"is it?"

"Yes, the competition will be entered next, and the strongest person must be blessed by God to be eligible for the Pope's authority."

At this time, the chanting of the believers has ended.

A bishop said loudly: "A country cannot be without a master for a day, and the gods cannot be without servants to guard them."

"Come on, if you think you are the strongest, please stand in the center of the church and accept the challenge."

The voice fell.

Wu Xiaode flipped lightly and landed on the table in the middle of the church.

"I am the one chosen by God, and I will lead you all to follow God's steps and walk God's way on the earth!"

he said loudly.

Everyone was silent.

A tall priest came out of the crowd, and said with a serious expression: "Stop making trouble, I am the one chosen by the gods."

"Come and defeat me." Wu Xiaode said.

"Stubborn!" The priest walked towards him step by step.

An inexplicable power appeared on the priest.

Wu Xiaode had already fought the Cyclops countless times, and as soon as this kind of power appeared, he immediately understood.

Yes.

This priest was indeed the chosen one of the Cyclops.

But can you back down?

He drew out the national sword at his waist——

"Broken." The priest spit out.

Whoa whoa whoa!

The long knife instantly shattered into iron filings all over the ground.

This is the sword of the Fuxi Empire!
It just shattered...

"He has divine power, he is the one chosen by God!" Someone exclaimed excitedly.

Wu Xiaode's eyes froze.

No.

The Pope is still digging a hole in the real world to wait for himself.

Anyway, we must get the red scepter today!
In what way?
Sword intent?

I don't have a sword, and I haven't controlled the sword intent, and it doesn't belong to the holy religion's fighting style, so it's not easy to be recognized...

A thought appeared in Wu Xiaode's mind.

Yes.

In fact, it can be like this...

"You must think that you have won the move of God, and you are the designated candidate." Wu Xiaode said.

"Otherwise?" the priest Shi Shiran said.

"Actually, I also got the power of the gods." Wu Xiaode said.

The priest was startled, his face darkened.

"This is impossible... Forget it, I wanted you to die directly, but now you are still blocking me, I want to sacrifice your soul to God!" He said.

"Bai." Wu Xiaode said silently.

"I'm here." The white tiger came quietly.

Wu Xiaode said: "When I said the resurrection of the dead——"

Baihu said: "I will release the ghost."

That's it!

"Don't be angry, we are all God's servants."

Wu Xiaode looked at the priest on the opposite side, and said sincerely: "You can shatter weapons and have strong fighting power, but in the current situation, you are not yet the pope, but you are actually the next pope."

"Next? Are you serious?" the priest sneered.

"Yes, because I want to become the pope first, to do the will of the gods, and to resurrect my companions." Wu Xiaode said.

All noise disappears.

The entire church was so silent that a needle could be heard dropped.

Everyone was staring at Wu Xiaode.

"Resurrection? You mean, you have gained the ability to resurrect believers?" the priest asked unexpectedly.

"Yes, our dead companions will follow God's will and return to us." Wu Xiaode said.

The priest said: "You are driving—"

"The dead are resurrected!" Wu Xiaode read directly.

In an instant, a person emerged from the void and stood in front of everyone.

He was wearing a long crimson robe with a holy emblem hanging on his chest, with a serious expression and power waves all over his body.

—The cardinal!
Everyone was startled.

The priest also opened his mouth, and was speechless for a while.

"I have been sleeping in the kingdom of death, but God said - you need me." Cardinal said with a smile.

In silence, he bowed to everyone and stood beside Wu Xiaode.

"One is not enough, we need more helpers." Wu Xiaode said.

Before the words were finished, another person appeared in front of everyone in a flash of space.

archbishop!
Everyone is uproarious.

The archbishop walked up to the priest, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Both the gods and believers need you, but at this moment, it's not time for you to be Pope."

Wu Xiaode was a little surprised.

From this point of view, this is still an old acquaintance.

This is very good, there are acquaintances, easy to talk to, it is best to be able to persuade this priest directly, so as not to do anything later.

After all, he has the power bestowed by the Cyclops. If he dies, if the Cyclops goes mad, it will be difficult to accept.

The priest stared at the archbishop carefully for a while, and suddenly said, "Seven years ago, what did you tell me the day I was enshrined?"

"I said that from now on, I will take care of you and let you learn everything about the holy religion. The holy religion is your home." The archbishop said.

The priest sighed and said, "It's really you."

"Of course it's me, and it's not just me." The archbishop said.

He turned around and walked, standing behind Wu Xiaode.

The eyes of the priest and Wu Xiaode met.

"I want to become the pope, gain more power, and help more dead people come back to life." Wu Xiaode said sincerely.

"But according to the oracle, only the strongest among us is eligible to become Pope." The priest said unwillingly.

The crowd suddenly became noisy.

Many people knelt down, faced Wu Xiaode, and chanted the classics loudly.

More and more people have joined the ranks.

The dead are resurrected!
If everyone can come back to life after death, then what is there to be afraid of?

Just go up and do it with monsters!
The priest looked at the crowd around him and couldn't help but secretly sighed.

What's the point of being pope if no one supports you?
"As I said before, when I complete the resurrection of the dead, I will abdicate immediately. At that time, the position of pope will naturally be yours, and I will assist you." Wu Xiaode said.

"Really? You have to understand that everyone is listening to your promise." The priest said.

Wu Xiaode opened his arms and said to everyone: "I hereby promise that once the resurrection of the dead is completed, the Pope will be passed on to him! Because he is the strongest!"

All cheered.

In this case, there will be no more contradictions in the Holy Cult!
We can finally unite!
The priest smiled too.

Since this is the case, there is nothing to argue about.

"You have such an important mission, then, I also hope you will complete it." The priest said.

Wu Xiaode nodded.

"Everyone, the current situation is very dangerous. I suggest that the Pope's enthronement ceremony can start immediately." A bishop said.

"Yes, the inheritance spell requires nine most devout believers to chant before the ceremony will be activated." Another believer said.

"It's not just nine people, we all chant." The priest said proactively.

At this moment, after confirming his future status, it is not easy to do anything else, but it is the moment to show his demeanor.

He walked up to the pope's body and joined the incantation procession.

Accompanied by everyone's chanting, the red scepter gradually separated from the Pope's body.

It floated up gently, emitting rounds of light with a fixed rhythm.

Lines of small ice crystal characters immediately appeared on the Book of the Dead:

"With the pious blessings of all believers, untie the vicious curse wrapped around the scepter, so that the power of the scepter can be revived."

"Yet it has another curse."

"This heavy curse is wrapped around the scepter, and it will only take effect in an extremely special situation, so don't worry."

"Now you can get it."

And the curse?

But since it is extremely special, don't worry about it.

I am not special at all.

Wu Xiaode stepped forward and grabbed the scepter.

at the same time.

The white tiger lightly pressed its paw on the ground.

……

On the battlefield outside the city walls.

A dead monster suddenly opened its eyes.

It was confused for a while, and gradually understood something.

The monster got up from the ground, ran towards the distant mountains, and rushed to the top of the mountain in a short while.

In this mountain, there is a group of powerful monsters who are resting.

There is also a giant snake hundreds of meters long in the col.

"Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

cried the monster.

The resting giant snake slowly opened its eyes.

"Hiss?" the giant snake asked, spitting out a letter.

"Aw!" the monster yelled excitedly.

The giant snake thought for a while, and began to swim away.

It crawled out of the mountain stream, and flew towards the city below the foot of the mountain.

The speed of the other monsters was not as fast, but they also started to move.
