Chapter 309 The curtain opens

"How is it possible...that's, that's..."

Feeling that his will, which was previously filled with the blessings of the Holy Spirit, was rapidly drying up like a deflated rubber ball, the sweat on Sigmund's forehead instantly flowed down.

Within the Church of the Holy Spirit, status is divided according to the distance between a person and the Holy Spirit, and each level of clergy has absolute suppression over lower-level believers, including but not limited to the ability to control the other party through laws and regulations.

Weaken, deflect, or even directly neutralize.

But the "living saint" is an exception. As an existence beyond the ranks, the living saint is above the ten artificially divided ranks and is the right-hand man used by the Holy Spirit to implement his "ideas".

Especially after he wears the ring of protection of the Holy Spirit, its power will never be affected by anything - even the Patriarch of the Second Order is here, and he cannot shake the gift Sigmund received.

No blessing at all.

According to common sense, this is how things should be...

However, something beyond common sense happened at this moment.

The ring on the hand of the magic chanter made Sigmund forget to breathe for a moment.

"Holy... Holy Spirit Guard Ring?"

This word is like a man trapped in a dry well, holding on to a flimsy lifeline and crawling out of Sigmund's throat.

When people see something that is absolutely impossible but actually happened, their tone of voice will be like this.

According to legend, the Holy Spirit Guardian Ring, which was sealed by William Kane in the "Eighth Holy Spirit Treasure" at the end of the world, was originally the supreme holy object of the Holy Spirit Church and was now worn on the finger of a magic chanter.

He couldn't believe the scene he saw, but at this moment, the blessing in his body had been greatly weakened, but it kept reminding him that this was the only possible explanation.

"Do you want to continue?"

The man asked himself calmly.

Sigmund swallowed and did not dare to answer immediately.

At this moment, his mind was frantically thinking about a series of questions.

Why did the Holy Spirit Guardian Ring, which disappeared along with William Kane in the long river of history, appear in the hands of this little-known frost magic caster from the divine realm?

And it would be such a coincidence that he would appear in front of himself, a living saint who had just been consecrated for his merits, as an absolute trump card to restrain himself?

It was such a coincidence that he would not believe it if it was not a trap specifically targeting him, or even specifically targeting the Second Order.

Could it be a trap specially laid by the Queen of Silence, together with the leaders of Ava, and other hostile forces?

More importantly, how did the other party obtain this ring?

Could it be that the person in front of me...

After looking at the man in front of him, Sigmund glanced back at the girl whose eyes were covered with white shadows.

Could it be that the person in front of me found a way to open the eighth Holy Spirit Treasury with the help of the remnant of the Blind Sisterhood?

Having made up his mind, he directly withdrew the phantom of the Holy Spirit behind him.

After the opponent took out the Holy Spirit Guard Ring, there was no point in continuing this battle... It was impossible for him to win the opponent.

Different from the fighting style of magic, which can be small and broad, the essence of the battle between divine enlighteners is who can get more blessings from the Holy Spirit. If there is an obvious difference in this aspect, then before the battle begins, the outcome will be

It has already been decided.

Although the opponent is not a divine enlightener, relying on the suppressive power of the ring, he can also weaken his own ability to less than 40% of the normal level. Previously, even if he fought against him with all his strength, he would only have a slight upper hand. If he were

The blessing status has been weakened to less than 40%, and I am afraid that even if I escape from here, I will be in danger.

Thinking of this, Sigmund gritted his molars.

Obviously...it's only a little bit closer.

It was certain that he could become a saint, become part of the "Mother", and achieve eternal immortality in a mortal body.

"Who are you to hold that ring?"

Sigmund asked.

"A collector out of interest...so it's time to give me what you've been holding."

William waved his hand as he spoke, and Sigmund's shadow instantly became distorted. Those shadows clung to his hands and feet as if they had gained life, and then turned into dim chains, binding him firmly.

stand up.

Something that the other party had been holding in his hand rolled to the ground, and William walked over slowly and bent down to pick it up.

It was an acorn that looked ordinary in appearance, with the Holy Emblem of the Mother of the Holy Spirit vaguely appearing on it.

William's memory is absolutely impossible to remember wrongly. This thing is the core of the World Tree.

"So that's it..."

Looking at the acorn lying quietly in his hand, William suddenly understood a lot of things.

The two timelines are intersecting. At this moment, he exists on both timelines at the same time. One side is the flesh and blood palace that he can observe, and the other side that he cannot observe is where the core of the World Tree is placed.

That secret room.

Limited by human cognition, even if two possibilities exist at the same time, he can only observe one result.

This logic is a bit like the famous thought experiment of locking a cat in a box.

"It turns out that Lady Hungry's Moon Source has already been in the game..."

There are a total of eight Moon Sources that William obtained through the console. Except for the "Seed of Hope", judging from their names and descriptions, the remaining seven should correspond to the seven original kings.

That is, the seven "firstborns".

Lady Hungry, as the "reborn" merging king, William does not know the name and nature of the source of the other moon.

Originally, William thought that the DLC that was cut off halfway was not going to bring those "reborn" kings to play. But now it seems that maybe their source of the moon has been placed in the real world like this acorn.

Already.

Looking at the Holy Emblem of "Mother" printed on the acorn, and then thinking about the other party's previous phantom of the Holy Spirit that he had just obtained, William seemed to understand where the other party's achievements that were enough to be upgraded to a "living saint" came from.

Yes.

After waving his hand to untie the shadow chain tied to the other person's mouth, William said sharply before the person spoke:

"Idiot, use the medium of the Moon Realm to collect aspects of the Holy Spirit. Aren't you afraid that the essence of the Second Holy Spirit will be contaminated by the Moon Realm?"

Sigmund, who originally planned to say something, was suddenly frightened by William's menacing tone, and it took him a long time to reply:

"What kind of lunar medium?"

Seeing that the other party didn't look like he was lying, William felt a little headache. He pressed his eyebrows and asked in a different way:

"The current situation is extremely urgent. If you don't want the thing held in the arms of the Second Holy Spirit statue enshrined in every household to change from swaddling clothes to a piece of rotten flesh. Please answer me clearly now. This time

Come to Ravenwood, has the Second Order cooperated with the King of Nothingness?"

When asking this question, his tone was serious and he also used the illusion of enhancing eloquence [Speech of Justice], which made the other party feel that what he said was the truth.

"That is the Whispering Queen fulfilling the ancient contract with the Church of the Holy Spirit, and she also took the initiative to supplement the oath that even the King of Nothingness can hardly violate... The Whispering Queen Belis must not interfere with the purity of this aspect of her mother."

Sigmund hesitated and replied.

William's heart sank when he heard this. Just because Bilis can't interfere doesn't mean that the other Void Kings can't interfere. Didn't they even think about this?

"The idiot who counts money for others after being sold..."

William whispered, then looked at the man and said:

"There is still a chance to make amends. Next, I need you to pass on a few words to me. The first thing is..."

Before William could finish speaking, a cold and majestic female voice suddenly came from mid-air.

That was Frollo's voice.

"Hello to all the forest elves, all citizens of Jade Province, and descendants of the conquerors of Ava."

"I am Flalo Kane. Today, in the name of the last queen of the ancient Holy Tree Kingdom, I will issue a reasonable order to all the forest people - I hereby ask everyone to quietly accept their own destined death...

…”

At the same time as this voice echoed, the dead baby named "Unborn Fetus" not far away from William suddenly turned and looked at William.

To be precise, he looked at the iron heart held in William's hand.
