...

"Hehehehehehehe, what are you afraid of? As long as you do it according to my plan, it will only last one night at most."

The dark witch Judy smiled wickedly and bewitched, "His Highness Charles, don't worry, I will configure special potions for you, so that you can capture Monica's heart in one fell swoop!"

And, capturing Monica's heart in one fell swoop?

Charles' tears were almost coming out. He wanted to die so much, but now he wanted to die...

"Charles, when will you hesitate?" Judy saw that the other party was still swaying, so she retorted again, "You are one of the best believers of my Lord and the emperor of all mankind in the future. What is this little sacrifice now?"

"Think about the great and bright Lord, think about your own future!"

Judy's voice was passionate, but Charles's heart trembled.

But when he thought of his current situation and a bright future, Charles finally gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and nodded in a key point: "Okay! I'll go!"

"Haha, that's right." Judy clapped her hands happily, and the female thief Amanda also smiled like an aunt.

Especially the Holy Magister Andrew sat aside, he was really relieved.

His disciple is indeed excellent. Now that his disciples are taking action, he, as a mentor, naturally doesn't have to face the female prison officer Monica.

"Since that's the case, let me talk about the plan first!"

Judy was in high spirits and began to talk about the plans she was preparing for on the spot.

After a meeting was over, Charles sat in a daze as if he had lost his soul.

Anyway, no matter what the end of this plan is, Charles is finished.

...

The Inquisition located in the inner city of the imperial capital, his purpose is not only to investigate, judge, imprison, and punish all heretics and criminals, but also a deterrent.

It is like a vicious giant snake, raising its head high and looking down at the imperial capital and even all the people in the entire empire. It warns the world that anyone who interferes in and resists Protestant rights will be swallowed up mercilessly by it.

When you enter the Inquisition, you can immediately feel the cruel atmosphere of blood and depression inside.

As the floor goes down, the more prisoners imprisoned in the lower prison, the more serious the crimes they committed, and the punishments and tortures they receive become more cruel.

Especially when entering the custody area, the prisoners screamed one after another, cruel and bloody scenes could be seen everywhere, and the terrifying scenes seemed to have come to the purgatory on earth, which was creepy.

However, once you reach the bottom of the Inquisition, all the sounds disappear in an instant.

That's right, the bottom layer of the Inquisition is a small secondary space embedded here, and it is also the most mysterious and secret core prison in the Inquisition.

On this day, the Protestant Pope, who was recognized as the state religion by the imperial emperor Carlos, was slowly walking into it in a pure white robe and a metal mask.

The space of the core prison in the magistrate is not large, about 1,000 square meters, similar to a large prison. However, since it is a small sub-space, the place that should have been the wall of the prison has become a space barrier that emits bright light.

The space barrier seems light and nothing is actually invincible. No one can enter or exit except the only entrance and exit.

Apart from that, the rest of the places are not much different from the prisons outside. The stained floor, blood-stained torture instruments, red-burned soldering irons... and so on, everything is available.

Especially at the end of the prison, three huge crosses were erected, with three people nailed on them. The one in the middle was a tortured white-haired old man.

"Nassadr, when will you still fight back?"

The Pope, who stepped into the prison, walked straight to the front of the cross, and his eyes were filled with urgency and anger through the metal mask worn on his face.

It turned out that the old man who was nailed to the cross was the real Pope St. John Nassader, who was once the real Pope of the Holy See of Light.

But Nasadr looks like an ordinary old man now?

His upper body was naked, and his body was covered with scars that were connected by the old and new. His cheeks were sunken, and his aging skin was filled with deep gullies. The wounds of his hands, feet and shoulders had solidified. The spikes that penetrated his body seemed to have grown together with his body. Such a terrible state seemed to have been in existence for a long time.

On both sides of his left and right, two former archbishops were also nailed.

They are Archbishop James and Archbishop Edward.

Perhaps because his strength is one level worse than Pope Nassadel, James and Edward, who were tortured, were obviously weaker than Nassadel. At this time, they almost didn't even have the strength to speak, and were hanging with just one breath.

As for their companions who were detained here together, they had already transformed into rotten corpses and bones under their feet.

"Oh."

At this time, a weak laughter came out.

The old and weak Nassadr slowly raised his eyes. The old eyes were already turbid, but there was still a light that was afraid to look directly at, which was still flashing firmly, "Yignaz, in my name, you fool the empire and deceive the people, and you will be severely punished by our Lord!"

"My Lord's severe punishment? Haha, a joke!"

The fake pope Ignaz raised his head and sneered, then said fiercely, "The old dog of light has long been dead! You and I know this very well!"

"As early as two years ago, the moment God appeared, our last slight connection with Him was completely cut off, His last consciousness had completely melted, and there was no God in this world!"

Ignaz's expression became more and more excited as he spoke, "Maybe His final demise will be a contribution to this Pope!"

As early as more than a hundred years ago, rumors that the God of Light had disappeared began to spread. After decades, there was no miracle anymore, and the influence of the Church of Light began to weaken and a large number of people began to break away from their faith. On the contrary, other suppressed pagans and kingdom princes began to sprout like mushrooms after a rain, and rumors that the God of Light had disappeared were almost confirmed at this moment.

So, Ignaz, who had just become the archbishop of the Empire at that time, had a lot of ambitions.

He secretly planned and, together with his confidants, secretly attacked Pope Nassadr and secretly imprisoned him to the bottom of the Inquisition.

Since then, he has controlled the religion of the entire empire as Pope Nassader. He has also joined forces with the imperial emperor Carlos to jointly promote the movement to ban the old Vatican and establish a new religion.

This persecution campaign that banned the old Holy See, sweeping the entire continent, has lasted for twenty years!

All the core members of the Old Vatican and their core believers were arrested and persecuted. The Imperial Protestantism was established in the Inquisitions everywhere, and it was once overcrowded.

Those members and believers of the Old Vatican who were weak by nature and did not have enough faith changed their flags and joined the Protestant camp.

Since then, the remaining faith of the old Holy See was completely destroyed by the hands of Ignaz and the imperial emperor Carlos!

Ignaz did this not only to destroy the old Holy See, but also to establish a self-centered Protestantism, but also to completely kill the suspected remaining God of Light!

As a core member of the old Holy See, he knew very well that the power of gods comes from people's faith. As long as you cut off the channels of these faiths, it is tantamount to cutting off the vitality of gods.

Ignaz did it boldly, and he was delighted to find that he finally succeeded!

He and the old Pope Nassader were once core members of the old Vatican and had clear faith connections with the old God of Light.

But just two years ago, he and the old Pope Nassader clearly felt that the divine consciousness, which had a faint connection with them, had completely cut off.

That day was undoubtedly the day when the gods truly fell.

Once the only consciousness left by the gods dissipates, it means that the gods truly die and completely annihilate and disappear from this world!

Without the gods, Ignaz no longer had any scruples. His overwhelming ambitions and decades of layout also reached the final stage.

"Still, bastard!" Nassader was stunned and his hatred was trembling. "Blasphemy, subvert the court, fool the people... You! Your sin is unforgivable!"

"Sin is unforgivable? Hahaha, why do you say that my sin is unforgivable? For the sake of the empire and the people of the world, this Pope must do this, otherwise how can we humans ensure that our overlord status is unwavering?"

The pseudo-pope Ignaz looked ferocious and laughed wildly, "Haha, let alone who can condemn me in this world? Do you expect that old dog of light that has long since disappeared?"

"Stop!" The old Pope Nassader scolded angrily, "Our Lord is not to be desecrated! Cough! Cough cough cough..."

A few words of scolding seemed to have used up all the strength of the old Pope Nassader, and his broken body had already been overdrawn, causing him to cough continuously, and the severe pain twisted his face.

"Hmph! Nassadr, in the opinion of you being my senior, I can give you another chance at the end."

The pseudo-pope Ignaz snorted coldly, his eyes passed through the metal mask and slung coldly on the old pope's face, "Take the artifact and help me become a god, I may be able to give you a way out!"

When the old Pope Nassader mentioned that artifact, his face suddenly changed.

The divine artifact, the Holy Light Scepter, is the sacred staff held in the hand that the God of Light once ignited the divine fire and transformed into a god.

After that, the God of Light opened up the kingdom of God and officially ascended to the realm of God. This magical scepter was left in the plane of Light by him as a symbol of his faith and was kept by the Pope for generations.

It is rumored that this magical scepter has supreme power and can greatly enhance the user's abilities.

Now the pseudo-pope Ignaz has reached the bottleneck of the level 9 demigod realm, and he is only one step away from truly igniting the divine fire and stepping into the divine realm. With the help of the divine staff, his chance of entering the level 10 divine realm will undoubtedly increase significantly.

Therefore, whether or not the help of the scepter is particularly critical for Ignaz, which is also the main reason why he retained the old pope and his two backbone archbishops to this day.

"I want a magic weapon? Oh, you dream!" The old pope Nassader lowered his face and snorted weakly, "You, you are a despicable person who is greedy and greedy for power and power. Even if I die, I will never let you succeed!"

"act recklessly!"

The pseudo-pope Ignaz bit his teeth with resentment, his eyes filled with anger as if they were about to spit out fire.

Faced with this old stubborn and firm belief, any means of torture and inducement will have no effect. Otherwise, he would have obtained the artifact for so many years.

After a while, Ignaz swallowed the anger. So he smiled sinisterly and looked at the old pope in front of him again, his tone was full of chills: "Nasadel, old thing, your bones are indeed hard enough, but I don't know if your tender and good granddaughter can stand the torture here as much as you!"

When the old pope, who had already been ready to die calmly, his eyes suddenly shrank.

If there is anything else in this world that he cannot let go, then only his granddaughter, Katherine, who was raised by him since childhood.

"Your good granddaughter has now become a pseudo-Holy Seeker who has been operating on the border recently. Tsk tsk, this really surprised the Pope."

Ignaz looked at him with a cunning look through the metal mask with interest. The old pope was full of nervous expression, "Old guy, you quietly ordered someone to send your granddaughter out of the border of the empire. Do you want to be able to survive one day? Haha, it's a pity that all this is just making wedding clothes for this pope."

"What do you mean? Catherine is innocent, she knows nothing!" The old pope's turbid old eyes were filled with worries.

When he realized something was wrong, nothing could be saved. In the chaos, he had to arrange his confidants to send his young granddaughter out of the border of the empire. At the same time, he did not hesitate to consume his life and used the great prophecy to help them leave safely.

As for his granddaughter, it was completely beyond his expectations that the demise of the Church of Light had been reestablished.

His original intention was just to hope that his baby granddaughter could grow up safely and live a peaceful life. But unexpectedly, the pseudo-pope Ignaz had noticed her, which meant that disaster had come!

"What does it mean? Haha, the pseudo-saint Catherine established a pseudo-cultivation, fooled the people, and fanned the riots, and the crime was unforgivable!"
