Chapter 663 The Fall of Ikaros

In the Pope's eyes -

Several erratic figures holding crescent-shaped weapons appeared like ghosts above the pure white corpse beast, and on all sides of it, the "violent knights" holding heavy swords and giant axes also surrounded it.

A large number of outstanding figures emerged in the church during the last twenty years. These talented warriors are the guarantee of the church's long-term prosperity.

But after these heroes appear, they will gradually perish.

Either they sacrificed themselves in battle, or died in internal strife, or... were "taken to heaven" by the god they believed in.

As the second Pope, the old man who looks weak and keeps coughing has the power to retain part of the "souls" of these strong men.

This is the Pope's own talent and a gift from God.

The people he summons will automatically transform into the state of their prime, and except for a small number of their abilities being unusable, they are no different from when they were alive.

With so many powerful phantoms, as long as you know the strategy, you can always slowly eliminate the enemy.

The Pope was hoping for this in his heart, but the enemies were scattered like snowflakes under the siege of the phantoms.

The next moment, a pure white figure took shape in front of him.

With a "bang", the Pope's head exploded like a watermelon under his claws, and red and white brain matter splattered on the dungeon wall behind him.

One of the phantoms trembled and solidified into the appearance of the Pope again.

——In addition to summoning phantoms, the Pope can also transfer consciousness and body between phantoms.

In addition to summoning these elite church members, he also stored a large number of ordinary White Knight phantoms... As long as he was given the opportunity to summon phantoms, he would have to be killed at least hundreds of thousands of times before he could really die.

You Huan retracted his claws and turned to look at the Pope who had once again hid in the corner.

In his opinion, the best strategy to kill the Pope is to seize the opportunity when the Pope is unable to react and instantly eliminate all enemies on the battlefield.

The Pope will not have time to release new phantoms, and all the old phantoms will be annihilated, so he will naturally die.

But this opportunity cannot be too early... because Xiao Pu and You Qingqing, who have already explored deeper into the Ikaros Church, sent a message that strange changes are taking place under the church.

If the enemy is dealt with too early, he will go down very early, and the "thing" that is changing may stop changing out of fear and retreat back into the depths of the world.

It will be difficult to find it then.

It would be best for him to wait until its changes reached an irreversible stage before going down.

While he was thinking, the phantoms surrounded You Huan again...

The Pope stood in the shadow of the dungeon, staring closely at the pure white monster that was constantly attacked by phantoms.

He coughed lightly from time to time - the ability to summon phantoms was a heavy burden on his body, and he wouldn't live much longer.

That's why he wanted to seize power in his own hands... He wanted to go to the place where the gods lived, and use the power in his hands to exchange for more miracles from the gods, or even...

To achieve his goal, he must first defeat the enemy in front of him—the enemy who has destroyed the Black Tablet and the Sisters, and now wants to overthrow God!

"Blasphemer..." he muttered, not knowing what he meant by "blasphemy".

After what seemed like an extremely long war of attrition, he finally saw hope of achieving his goal through precise deployment of combatants and strategies.

The phantom silently swung the greatsword and attacked the enemy.

Although the enemies turned into snowflakes and scattered, a few crystal blood drops could still be seen splashing.

The enemy's reactions and movements are slowing down, and the war of attrition is approaching success!

Upon seeing this, the Pope involuntarily clenched his staff.

He continued to carefully control the actions of the phantoms, not seeking to defeat the enemy quickly, but only to slowly wear down the enemy's physical strength.

Because there were many powerful people in the phantom who were carefully selected by him and could restrain the enemy, the temperature drop of the environment was not obvious during the long battle.

But after a while, the temperature dropped to a terrifying level.

Some of the phantoms moved slowly in this environment and were destroyed by the enemy.

The Pope no longer cared about these things at this moment. He opened his eyes wide involuntarily and his heart was pounding.

Under his control, the battle came to a moment——

The knights who were good at restricting and restraining the enemy blocked the pure white corpse beast's route of movement.

A sturdy knight with a body five times the size of an ordinary man leaped up with a bang, his arms suddenly split into four, igniting a fierce red light, and hammered down heavily on the enemy!

His long snow-white hair fluttered in an instant.

The enemy's figure was buried under four huge fists.

Success...

The Pope stared at the scene on the field, but heard a slight noise coming from the side.

As he looked over, he saw the black wolf lying on the ground peacefully for a long time, and it twitched suddenly!

Holy Beast No. 1 is not dead? !

No, not number one, but...

The wolf's eyes suddenly opened, and the ice-blue pupils were instantly pierced by a large number of icicles, protruding from the eye sockets.

The scarlet ice thorn formed by blood and flesh bloomed from its body like an ice flower.

And these dense ice crystals fell to the ground like a group of snakes, winding forward.

The black wolf's body gradually melted, and a figure made of scarlet ice crystals quickly took shape.

A layer of long white hair grew from the surface of the ice crystals, fluttering in the wind.

The Pope looked at the enemy who had reappeared in the body of the black wolf, and the countless words he wanted to say were choked in his throat.

Feeling the calm gaze of the corpse beast, he was as desperate as a game player who had finally reached the final BOSS after going through many levels and defeating many enemies. He used up all his blood bottles and reduced the BOSS's health bar, only to find that he had entered a very bad CG.

After the CG, you can only watch as the boss's health bar is restored to full again and enters the second stage.

Where is God? God, please come and save your dear people!

The Pope roared in his heart, but the rest of his thoughts were completely unable to keep up with You Huan's speed.

After using the effect 3 of the title [God of Misfortune] to catch the enemy by surprise, You Huan saw that time was almost up and finally released his full strength.

In an instant, all the heat around him turned into a vortex and sank into his body.

All the phantoms, including the Pope, were frozen in place before they could react.

Then, the phantoms exploded one after another with a bang, and were completely annihilated!

The Pope did not have time to summon more phantoms, so he died naturally.

But You Huan's expression suddenly changed, and his red eyes suddenly locked onto a certain place in the air.

"How could I lose..."

Gradually, a vague human figure appeared in the air, but only the upper body.

A part of the Pope's soul actually wanted to escape, which was quite cunning.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

After discovering that the enemy's spiritual power was also very strong and that he had no hope at all, the Pope's soul looked pale and dull, and he muttered something and stopped talking.

You Huan used his mental power to lock the Pope tightly and held him beside him, then jumped up and stomped the ground heavily with his hind legs like a herbivore.

"Boom!"

The ground, which had become very dry due to the low temperature, immediately cracked, and even the wall above was shaking.

Amid the falling of a large amount of building debris, You Huan fell to a lower level.

As he fell, he checked the map of the Function Card Ikaros Church and compared it with his own location.

After some route adjustments, he successfully opened several secret doors in succession and entered the hidden area of ​​the Ikaros Church - Holy Lake Upper Level.

What appeared before him was the last heavy and tall stone door.

He finally stopped.

The sounds from the upper levels of the church were barely audible here.

Only dead silence and coldness echoed in the gray stone hall.

He looked up at the stone gate.

He knew that behind this stone door was the entrance to the so-called "Holy Lake".

In his guess, the Holy Lake is an area created by the world consciousness, that is, the world in the nightmares of the White Knights. It leads directly to the core of the world, so it is naturally related to the origin of the black dust, an immune factor.

Therefore, the church can obtain both pure black dust and the power of the gods.

After seeing the stone gate, the Pope's soul, which had been silent all the way, finally whispered.

"...Give up. Even if you can defeat the gatekeeper, the spirit in the lake will crush all your ambitions..."

You Huan didn't expect that even at this point, the Pope was still so confident.

He stretched out his claws and grabbed the Pope's soul with force, and the gloomy soul immediately fluttered.

He pointed the Pope's head at the stone door in front, or rather, at the figure sitting in the corner of the stone door.

"Whether I can defeat your god or not, you can first see the scene of your church collapsing."

"...What?!"

The Pope's soul body trembled and his eyes widened in shock.

Under his gaze, the gatekeeper slowly stood up and staggered a few steps towards him.

"I'm sorry, Your Holiness…" A hoarse voice came from the gatekeeper's body, "I really want to fight, but I… I can't…"

The sound suddenly distorted here.

"Galala—"

Suddenly, a sound of bones and organs being squeezed by some foreign object came from the gatekeeper's body.

A hard spiral branch stretched out from his eye socket for several meters, piercing his eyeball at the very end, staring at the Pope!

Then the second one, the third one...

One by one, the iron-grey branches pierced the gatekeeper's body from the inside out until no human form could be seen anymore.

"boom!"

The stone door behind him opened automatically, and a torrent of branches - no, a torrent of the "tentacles" of world consciousness, surged out from behind the door and poured into the gatekeeper's body!

"Boom boom -"

The Ikaros Cathedral began to shake violently, and too many tentacles broke out from the ground, completely destroying the foundation of the cathedral.

At the same time, points of light flew in from all directions. They were the souls of the surviving church members, and they were all immersed in the huge wriggling group of branches.

The legendary Icarus eventually lost himself in the process of chasing the sun, burned his wings and fell to the earth.

The church that attempted to touch the glory of God was completely destroyed by God himself at this moment!

"No——!"

The Pope cried out as he watched the church he had built up be destroyed by God himself and his power and ambition vanish into thin air.

Then his soul, along with the many spots of light around him, poured into the tentacles of the world and was devoured. (End of this chapter)
