In a cave in the middle of nowhere, the grizzled Pope sits on a rock, watching a group of men who look like lost dogs.

They managed to retreat back to the Holy Cult City, only to find that the Holy Cult City had now been crowned with that hateful eagle banner and had become a city under the rule of the Orchid Hill Empire!

The Pope counterattacked with thousands of Holy Cult troops, and the result was that a group of all-powerful god puppets were killed in the city, beating them to the point that they almost couldn't even recognize their own mothers.

The Pope, who had finally escaped, was hiding in such a sparsely populated place, and he was running out of grain.

Although he took advantage of the chaos to run, the approximate direction of escape was still clear at a glance. The puppet's search force is searching not far away, and will soon find this place.

It's just that this forest is not small, and the puppet is not very familiar with the terrain here, so it will take some time.

"Your Majesty! Why don't we take off our armor, disperse these last 100 soldiers, pretend to be mountain people, and get out!" Seeing that he was about to be blocked, an officer opened his mouth to suggest.

The Pope, who sat there, had a gloomy face, for he still had all kinds of images from the battlefield not long ago.

Just a few hours ago......

"Why do those people fly?" The Pope rode on his horse and exclaimed as he looked at the puppet troops on the left flank who were carrying long swords and slashing the Papal soldiers on their backs.

Previously, he had used his Celestial Sword to destroy hundreds of such golems with a single sword. But now, right in front of his eyes, less than a hundred puppets have crushed his left flank and thousands of troops.

"Your Majesty! If we don't use the Celestial Sword again, our left flank will collapse! A general tugged at the reins and pleaded with the sluggish pope.

In the midst of his cries, dozens more soldiers were hit by the magic fireball technique used by the god puppet, screaming and struggling in the flames, making the entire battlefield look even more tragic and bloody.

The Pope, whose face was full of shock, finally came back to his senses amid the anxious cries for help from his subordinates. He hurriedly tore off the Celestial Sword wrapped in sackcloth from behind him, once again urged the energy in his body, and aimed the Celestial Sword at the god puppet troops in the distance.

"Energy...... Undulation? A god puppet was slightly stunned for a moment, and then the computer in its body reacted first.

In the next second, a magical defense barrier was enveloped around his body, then the second and third layers.

Immediately after, a powerful energy directly collided with it, breaking through several layers of magical defense barriers at once.

It's a pity that this dazzling light did not break through the last magic defense barrier, but slowly drifted away in front of this barrier.

"Energy Shock?" The attacked god puppet asked in a hoarse voice.

Standing beside him, the other god puppet who helped him share the damage and also lost a lot of energy shook his head and opened his mouth to deny the conjecture of the first god puppet: "It's not an energy impact!" This power is much weaker than the energy shock. ”

After saying that, the two of them looked in the direction where the energy was coming and saw the Pope in a bright red robe.

"It seems! He is the magical 'Pope' that His Majesty is looking for!" The first puppet thickened the defensive barrier in front of him, and then rushed in the direction of the Holy See army with his long sword.

A squad of cavalry rushed from the flank, blocking the footsteps of the two god puppets, and they had to chop down the two knights and fly into the air again.

As a result, the two of them were hit by the second Celestial Sword attack. The tremendous force knocked them down, and although it didn't hurt them, it consumed a lot of energy.

The Pope used the Celestial Sword twice in a row, and he had exhausted his energy, and finally had to choose to flee the battlefield with his personal guards.

As expected, the whole battlefield collapsed like that. The Holy See Army ceased to exist, and the Holy See became history.

On the way back, there was already a lot of news that the Pope had heard that a gorgeously dressed army had captured the capital of the Empire, Flame City, and that a terrifying army had captured Flame City, the imperial capital of the Flame Empire......

Now that the Holy See has also been captured, there seems to be no reason why the Rock Empire will be spared.

The four empires have all fallen, completely fallen...... No matter how powerful the Pope is, he has no ability to return to heaven.

What's more, he is far from being powerful. Those god puppets killed from the Holy Cult City, any of them alone are not weaker than him—this is already the most polite way to say, because those god puppets are actually much stronger than the Pope.

Even if there is a Celestial Sword, against any of the god puppets, the Pope does not have much chance of winning. So he can only hide in the cave like a mouse, waiting for his sad end.

"Shut up!" Thinking of this, the Pope reprimanded the officer who had come up with the idea, and then got up from where he was sitting.

He slapped his dusty red robe, then straightened the armor lining the inside of the robe.

"Let's go! Let's go! The Pope said as he walked to the entrance of the cave: "As Pope, I give you the blessings of God...... With God's blessing, get out of here! ”

————

"Since God has given us such a heavy test, we should face it honestly!" The Pope said: "Now you can find your faith for yourselves!" And I'm ...... Prepare to pursue my own God! ”

At this point, he closed his eyes and tore open with his hand the Celestial Sword wrapped in sackcloth - it was only then that the sword was truly fully exposed.

It is indeed a sword, a sword that looks very unique! In fact, if Chris can see this sword, he will definitely be very familiar with this sword, because he often sees this sword in TV series and on the Internet!

Yes, this is an ancient Chinese long sword, a very standard ancient sword. The sword body is carved with beautiful seal inscriptions, and after such a long time, the blade of the sword still flashes with a dazzling cold light.

"Let's go! Let's go! He carried the sword, which was completely out of step with his armor, and walked towards the hole of light.

There, he seemed to see the kingdom of God, as if he saw a new hope! And all the soldiers and officers of the Holy See Army around looked at His Majesty the Pope who was walking towards the entrance of the cave with frightened eyes.

For, they saw, the Pope was aging at an alarming rate, and with every step he took, he became more and more thin and shriveled, and the strange sword in his hand was visibly sucking a puff of white smoke from the Pope's body......
