Chapter 645: Everyone kneel down
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
During this period, the previous Father Lanyan came to the dungeon again.
To his great disappointment, Neil Lucius still refused to disclose any information about the "snake", and even remained silent as if he had resigned himself to his fate.
Chen Lun took advantage of this conversation to learn the name of Father Lanyan, Willis, from a bishop who was traveling with him.
Before Father Willis left, he squatted in front of Neil with a candle and said in a cold tone:
"Actually, even if you don't say it, the church has found some clues based on your 'holy fire' characteristics...the abilities of 'beast taming', 'divination' and 'flickering', and a way outside the world called 'destiny' Very similar.”
"..."
Neil kept his head down and didn't respond.
Willis took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"If you are unwilling to tell the information about 'Snake', then tell the church about 'Destiny' and other knowledge you have, and I will assure you in the name of Holy Land Klein, your wife Lafla, The children will all live a peaceful and happy life, and no one will dare to disturb them.”
When the other party mentioned his family, Neil's body trembled slightly.
But he still didn't speak.
Father Willis waited for several minutes, then sighed heavily, stood up and made a gesture.
"Take him to Glory Square. Your Majesty and the Pope have been waiting for a long time."
"Yes, Lord Willis."
Two Redemption Church priests unlocked the shackles on the wall, but Neil's hands and feet were still shackled and they carried him out of the cell.
The chains dragged on the ground, making a squeaking sound.
Along the dim corridor illuminated by torches, Neil was brought to the surface by the clergy, and arrived at the center of a square amidst the curses and onlookers of countless residents of the royal city.
The two redemption priests let go of their hands, and Neil fell to his knees on the ground.
Facing the dazzling light, he raised his head and saw a large group of people sitting on a high platform in the distance.
Members of the royal family and dignitaries of the empire, dressed in luxurious costumes, were whispering to each other in twos and threes, casting curious but indifferent glances at him.
His Majesty the Brilliant Emperor Schroeder is at the front.
Sitting next to her was Queen Tori.
With their backs illuminated, their expressions couldn't be seen clearly, but Neil could also guess that it was definitely an expression of hatred and indifference.
On the other side of the high platform, sitting parallel to the royal family, were a group of clergymen from the Redemption Church wearing blue robes. There were dozens of bishop-level figures present, including the Pope of the Imperial Church, Dominguez slowly. Stand up.
This is an old man, with a pair of deep eyes looking down on his wrinkled face, and he opened his mouth and said:
"Despicable demon servant, Neil Lucius, for twenty-six years, you killed church members, persecuted the people of the empire, lurked in the church to steal the glory of our Lord, and blasphemed the gods... At this moment, do you have the intention to repent and atone for your sins?"
Neil, who was covered in bruises, knelt on the ground and stared at Him.
His expression was indescribably weird.
It was an almost comfortable calm, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised into a mocking smile.
Old Pope Domingos frowned slightly, the bishops and Lanyan priests had gloomy expressions, and even His Majesty Schroeder couldn't help but look ugly after seeing Neil's ridicule.
"Repent? Atonement?"
Neil gradually felt that his body began to recover rapidly under that familiar power.
Wounds are healed and physical strength is abundant.
He said calmly and actually stood up from the ground.
When the two redemption priests behind him who were responsible for guarding Neil saw this, their expressions changed slightly. They were about to push him down again, but suddenly found that their hands were covered with pale crystals.
"Snake..."
As soon as the Redemption Father had time to say a word, he completely turned into a crystal statue and lost the breath of life.
"You are the one who wants to repent! Your Majesty the Pope!"
Neil shouted loudly.
He immediately used his extraordinary power, and the shackles on his hands and feet were instantly burned into molten iron by a ball of flames, and fell down.
"It is the Brilliant Empire who wants to atone! It is His Majesty Schroeder and the Redemption Church! It is the Blue Pope and the blue flame priests of the Holy Land of Klein! You! You have offended the great Lord Snake, now! Immediately! Kneel down! ! ”
Neil's roar echoed throughout the square.
At the end of the word "kneel down", the voice suddenly changed and was uttered by a deep and magnetic voice, which did not sound like Neil's voice at all.
"Absurd!"
His Majesty Schroeder angrily smashed the tea cup in his hand.
Queen Tori, the prince and princess and other royal family members and dignitaries all changed their expressions. They had never seen such an arrogant death row prisoner.
The whole place was in an uproar.
Countless residents of the royal city who were watching were making a fuss, and curses mixed with excited roars rang out all around.
In the seats of the Redemption Church on the high platform, seven or eight Lanyan priests stood up in unison, and a group of bishops and priests also stood up angrily and glared at Neil in the center of the square.
"blaspheme your majesty, blaspheme the church, blaspheme the gods..."
Pope Domingos put his hands behind his back and said solemnly.
"In the name of the candlestick goddess 'Sticca', I sentence you to hell!"
"Can't you understand?"
Neil's voice completely transformed into that of another strange man.
He quickly raised his hand and pulled his shadowed palm down.
"Everyone kneel down!!"
Buzz——
An extremely terrifying gravitational force enveloped the entire place instantly.
There was a loud bang.
The high platform seemed to be slapped hard by an invisible big hand, and suddenly collapsed, shaking the ground.
Amidst countless exclamations.
The senior leaders of the Redemption Church emerged from the smoke in disgrace. Except for Pope Domingos and the seven Lan Yan priests who remained standing, the rest of the bishops and clergy all knelt or fell down, with shocked and angry expressions on their faces.
"Ah! Damn it!!"
"Gods of fire! I will not surrender!"
"Devil! What have you done?!"
The roars did not affect "Neal" in any way.
His eyes were completely covered by crystals, and a shadow of a rusty crown appeared above his head. He was wearing a pale cloak and holding an ivory white scepter in his hand, standing alone in the center of the square.
"Kneel down!"
"Neal" pointed his scepter in his hand.
Dominguez's old face changed. As the Holy Fire Demigod [Fire Gate], he could not resist the invisible gravity, and his legs creaked.
He snorted coldly, and his whole body burst into blue flames.
raging! !
Flames burst out from the bodies of the seven blue flame priests behind them, and the pillars of fire spiraled up and reached the sky.
"Neil" raised his left hand and waved it downwards towards the royal family.
boom! !
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
"Protect Your Majesty!"
Amid the exclamations of many guards, the king, who was just an ordinary person, fell together with the queen and royal dignitaries, and was buried by countless gravel and dust.
Screams came from the crowd of onlookers.
The originally grand and solemn "Devil Trial Ceremony" turned into a chaotic farce. The royal family and the church were unable to withstand the terrifying demon.
"Devil! After many years, you are finally willing to show up!"
Pope Domingos spreads his arms.
"Go to hell!!"
The flames behind him suddenly surged and turned into a sea of blue fire.
A giant with thunder and lightning all over his body and sparks of disease spewing out from his mouth and nose gradually walked out carrying a huge door.
"Neil" looked up and suddenly understood.
‘The power of [Ocean Giant] and [Reverse Life]…’
The door on the giant's back slowly opened, and bursts of noisy singing came from it. It seemed like countless people were singing inside the door, but it was completely out of rhythm and tone, giving people a strange and disharmonious feeling. .
And if you listen carefully to the song, it sounds more like a vicious curse.
The voice immediately made "Neal" freeze.
‘Huh? This is not the power of the disease or the deep sea pathway, but a brand new and unfamiliar pathway...Did the old guy absorb the pathway of heaven or the wasteland? interesting! ’
By virtue of his extremely high position, he was directly exempted from the influence of singing.
Immediately, the figure became taller and taller.
In the astonished eyes of the Redemption Church and countless people present, the giant white-scaled python clinging to the arm in the "Cang King's Stance" was revealed.
This was the limit of what Neil could bear.
But it is completely enough to deal with these people now.
Boom——
The dozens of meters long giant python flicked its tail and instantly slapped the flame giant and the door.
Terrible high-temperature sparks splashed around.
Countless onlookers were touched by the sparks and turned into human-shaped torches on the spot, burning into ashes in just a few seconds.
The entire square was engulfed in flames.
Panic spread and screams broke out.
The contaminated radiation from the high-level power unknowingly affected tens of thousands of people present.
"I am guilty!"
Pope Domingos couldn't help but close his eyes in pain as he watched the residents of the royal capital die tragically in the aftermath.
It was the church's carelessness that killed these people.
It was His underestimation of Neil Lucius that led to this disaster.
boom! !
The old pope reveals his mythical creature form.
A tornado-like pillar of blue fire was twisting in the square, as if mourning the tragic dead, and dancing towards the flame gods.
The Lan Yan priests followed closely behind and also revealed their mythical creature forms.
They are all pillars of fire, spinning and twisting.
Their bodies are more than ten meters high. Although they are not as high as the Pope's tens of meters of fire pillars, they are still daunting enough.
The giant white-scaled python wreaked havoc in the square, charging through the sea of fire.
He opened his bloody mouth, and a huge ivory-white carved cross sword ejected from it. He immediately swept across and cut off seven or eight pillars of fire!
A bright square crystal fell in a blind corner where no one was paying attention.
With a bang, a gorgeous dust mist bloomed.
The pale lichen began to spread around, extinguishing the flames and swallowing the earth, until it covered the entire square and even beyond...

The battle did not last long.
Less than twenty minutes.
The residents who had fled the square for a long distance suddenly found that the earth-shattering momentum had suddenly stopped.
People gradually stopped and looked back.
I saw billowing black smoke coming from the direction of the square.
Some bold people, driven by curiosity, turned back.
What caught the eye was a dazzling and shining crystal lichen covering the ruins of the square.
In the empty space, there was a group of charred black figures kneeling down.
Judging from the vaguely visible wreckage all around, those figures are all clergy of the Redemption Church!
The sound of wailing and pain suddenly sounded in the distance.
Unfortunately, Queen Tori was killed by a falling rock in the aftermath.
The Crown Prince, members of the royal family and dignitaries suffered numerous casualties. Although His Majesty Schroeder survived, he was also seriously injured.
The servants were in a hurry, scurrying around like headless flies.
Countless knights and troops quickly blocked the scene, but no one dared to step into the square again, because at the edge, countless human-shaped crystal statues stood, warning latecomers that this would be the consequences of touching the pale lichen. !
Panic and chaos are rapidly brewing.
As for the culprit of this disaster, Neil Lucius...
But there was no trace!
This news was like a catalyst, causing the original atmosphere of panic and confusion to quickly reach its highest point.
But no one knew that "Neil" had already arrived at the underground chamber of the Cathedral of Salvation and stopped in front of a huge shrine in the deepest part.
Behind him were church members who fell in various directions.
In the shrine in front of him, a blue flame burned blazingly.
Chen Lun controlled Neil's body and slowly stepped forward.
The rather cold blue firelight shone on the extremely surprised face.
'This is? ! ’
In the firelight, a picture was faintly revealed, no, to be more precise, it was a projection.
It was a huge and strange "machine", with countless thick black ring-shaped wires connected to the sockets of the "machine", and hundreds of luminous mirrors, either hanging or attached to the surface, revealing densely packed text.
