Episode 7: The Heavens Turned Upside Down Chapter 2: The Descent of the God’s Favorite
In the ninth floor of the Temple of Light.
Linley’s entire person seemed to have been left behind as if he had been forgotten. Only the cold, purple-robed deacon of the Inquisition brought meals to Linley every day, and Linley, whose arm bones had been broken, could only move his body and bow his head to eat his meals.
In the dark and cold chamber, Linley spent day after day in such solitude.
Was it life, was it death.
Linley didn’t know, but Linley wouldn’t easily give up hope for life.
These days, Lin Lei has also been thinking about why this revenge will fail, this revenge process everything is in Lin Lei’s plan, and even Clyde has a magical beast Lin Lei calculated. But Linley hadn’t thought that there was even a holy realm level magic defense scroll!
Creating a magic scroll could be much more difficult than casting magic.
To create a holy realm level magic scroll, no matter the amount of magical power or mental power consumed, it was more than casting a holy realm level magic directly. Linley didn’t think that Clyde would have a holy realm level defense magic scroll on him.
Even Drinkwater had said, “Let alone Clyde, I’m afraid that even the Cardinal Archbishop wouldn’t have a holy domain level defense scroll on him.”
With Linley’s power as a ninth level warrior after his dragonization, coupled with Bebe’s power. It stood to reason that Clyde was bound to die. Although Linley’s revenge plan was slightly anxious, the probability of success was actually nearly ten percent. However, the appearance of the Guardian of Fate caused Linley’s plan to be ruined.
“Who would have thought that the king of a kingdom would have a holy magic scroll.”
Linley was resigned.
Really resigned The temperature in the dead of winter could be very low. The streets of Finlay City were sparsely populated, and a small black shadow mouse was standing in the corner nook of a street wall, looking at the Temple of Light that towered into the sky in the distance. The little shadow mouse just looked on, not moving a muscle.
The little shadow mouse, Bebe, stayed here from late at night until dawn, one at a time.
He didn’t dare to enter the Temple of Light, because Bebe knew very well that the Temple of Light was the one that the Holy Domain powerhouses didn’t dare to trespass. He would definitely not be able to escape if he went in as a magical beast rat. By the time it was caught, Linley would definitely be even more sad.
Dawn.
“Boss, I’ll definitely avenge you.”
Bebe looked at the Temple of Light for one last glance, and with a single movement of his body, he disappeared into the streets.
It had been nearly twenty days. Shadow Rat Bebe had been thinking about avenging Linley. But then he realized. Nowadays, Clyde was truly a bird of prey, not only causing magicians to set up magic arrays around him, but also causing Caesar to live next to him at the same time. Shadow Rat Bebe didn’t even have a chance to sneak up on him.
However, Bebe was very patient.
He would wait and wait. When the day came when Clyde slacked off, he would suddenly appear to directly bite Clyde into pieces, taking revenge for Linley.Late at night on December 28th.
“Clang!”
The door to the chamber where Linley was opened, and two white-clothed priests directly entered it, they weren’t as grim as the deacons of the Inquisition Lands, they also had a stretcher with them, placing Linley very carefully on the stretcher, instead, the two of them carried Linley together.
“What for?”
Linley coldly glanced at the two white-robed priests.
The two white-robed priests thought of Linley’s killings that day. There was some fear in their hearts towards Linley.
“Lord Linley, His Holiness the Pope is preparing to treat your injuries.”
One of the female white-robed priests said softly.
“Treating injuries?”
Linley’s heart stirred. “Could it be that that Pope really wants to give me a way out?”
Linley didn’t say much and remained silent. Allowing the two white-robed priests to carry him as they continued to advance towards the upper floors of the Temple of Light. Floor after floor ……
Finally. The two white-clothed priests carried Linley to the top floor of the Temple of Light. At the moment, the top floor of the Temple of Light was very empty. At the very center was a complex octagonal magical formation, eight cloaked, barefooted ascetics in sackcloth were sitting peacefully on the eight corners of the magical formation, and Pope Hastings, wearing a set of bright white ornate robes, was standing at the center of the magical formation.
On the edge of this top floor hall, there were three cardinal archbishops, as well as the two deputy magistrates of the Inquisition who were of honorable status, and six extraordinarily ranked deacons. Each of these people was a rank nine powerhouse. With so many rank nine powerhouses, one could imagine how powerful the Illuminati was.
“Put it down, you guys can leave now.”
Gilmer spoke out.
“Yes.”
The two white-clothed priests didn’t dare to take a breath, right now in this hall, it was either the ascetic with amazing strength, or the most mysterious special deacon of the Inquisition, as well as the three cardinal archbishops and the two deputy magistrates.
These were all big shots.
Putting down Linley, these two white-clothed priests hurriedly and respectfully left, and this gate closed once again.
Lying on the stretcher, Linley swept his gaze across this large circle of people, with Linley’s eyesight it was easy to tell that any of the people in this top floor hall were all incredibly powerful, I’m afraid that none of them were weaker than that ninth level powerhouse Caesar. “Your Holiness, what are you doing?”
Linley’s voice was low and hoarse.
Hastings glanced at Linley and said with a faint smile, “Linley, although this time you have made a not-so-small mistake, however, after deliberating within our sect, we have decided to give you another chance. And now, we are prepared to work in unison to cast magic to restore you to your best state.”
If Linley had some knowledge of Light magic, it would have been easy to spot the loophole in Hastings’ words.
“Grandpa Delin, the Temple of Light seems to be making a big move this time.”
Linley soul-communicated with Delinquent.
“What’s the situation outside?”
Derin Corvette was so cautious that he didn’t dare to release even a trace of his soulforce.
Because Hastings was a peak Saint realm powerhouse, once Derinkovort left the Ring of Coiled Dragons, then the Pope of Light would surely find out.
“There are twenty people outside, and it’s estimated that the weakest of them are all ninth level powerhouses, and eight of them, the ascetics and the Pope of Light, are in the middle of a magical formation diagram.”
Linley said.
Delinquent Corvette’s insights were much broader than Linley’s, “Linley, to make you fully recover, all we need to do is to have a Brightness Saint Realm powerhouse, casting the Light of Life, make you fully recover. There’s no need for such a loud noise at all. The way I see it, they’re most likely summoning the energies of a Light System Lord God, otherwise, there’s no need for such a big show.”
There could be more than one Light System Lord God.
However, the Lord of Light was the most powerful one.
“Summoning the energies of a Lord God?”
Linley was astonished. “They’re dealing with me. And summoning the energies of a Lord God, what are they up to?”
“I’m not sure.”
In Derinkovort’s time, both the Illuminati and the Dark Church were still relatively weak, just two religions in the Puong Empire. There were also very few experts in the Illuminati at that time, and it was impossible to get so many experts out at once like today.
“Your Majesty. Time is up.”
Gilmer said respectfully.
Hastings tilted his head to look above and nodded slightly.
“Begin.”
Hastings said blandly.
A milky white light immediately surfaced on the body surface of the eight ascetics sitting cross-legged, and the thick light magic power immediately poured into the magic formation diagram, and the entire magic formation immediately began to light up, while a golden bible suddenly appeared in front of Hastings, and Hastings’ own body gradually radiated golden light.
Hastings flipped open a page in the Bible.
“Lord, it is you who has given us everything.”
Hastings said softly, but his voice resounded like thunder in the hearts of everyone on the field. At the same time, the golden light on the surface of the Bible flourished, and at that moment, the holy white light in the magic formation diagram also flourished.
When the two rays of light touched – “Thumbs up…”
A straight ray of light shot directly toward directly above. It entered the spire of the Temple of Light’s ground. And then it broke through the tip of the tower and shot towards the boundless dark night sky above. The entire Finlay City. could all clearly see that one holy white, gold-colored entangled ray of light that shot straight up into the sky.
In the hall on the top floor of the Temple of Light.
Hastings suddenly looked towards Linley. Linley’s entire person then felt a thick force cupping him, causing Linley’s entire person to slowly fly directly up. In the end, Linley’s entire person flew directly above the center of the magic formation diagram. That is, above Hastings’ head.
“Lord, have mercy on the world, and we, too, shall believe in the Lord.”
Hastings tilted his head, but an incomparable holy light emanated from that face.
“Buzzing the entire sky above the Temple of Light began to vibrate, a milky white ground halo began to appear above the Temple of Light, the range of this milky white halo was simply too large, and many of the people in the entire city of Finlay noticed it.
“Betray the Lord, and the Lord will deprive him of his endowment, while believe in the Lord, and the Lord will grant him favor.”
Hastings flipped through yet another page of the Bible ground. “Boom!”
The heavens and earth were in turmoil, and above the Temple of Light, it was originally a boundless black night, but now the milky white halo was extremely bright. In the center of the milky-white halo, space unexpectedly cracked open, and a white light shot down from the air at great speed.
“Swoosh!”
The white ray of light, with a touch of pressure that caused all hearts to tremble, fell down, directly passing through the top of the Temple of Light tower, and eventually landing on Linley’s body, who was suspended above the magical formation diagram.
In the hall on the top floor of the Temple of Light.
Hastings, eight ascetics, three cardinals, two deputy magistrates, and six special deacons all tilted their heads to look towards Linley, and the pressure contained in that white light was such that even Hastings’ heart naturally gave birth to reverence and faith.
Although it was only a ray of faith, it originated from the Lord of Light himself.
The white light ray shot completely into Linley’s body, and a faint white light immediately surfaced on the surface of Linley’s entire body, as Linley’s body simultaneously repaired itself at an astonishing speed. Almost in the blink of an eye, Linley’s broken bones and wounds were completely repaired. Linley’s body was in an unprecedentedly good state.
“Ahh Linley’s soul groaned, when that white light entered Linley’s body, repairing Linley’s injuries was only a subsidiary effect, the first target of this white light was Linley’s soul. This white light was clearly going to integrate into Linley’s soul.
Once the power of faith merged with Linley’s soul, then Linley would no longer be able to break free of the Lord of Light’s bondage, and would be forever loyal to him.
But right at this moment – a power that was terrifying to the extreme directly emanated from the Ring of the Coiled Dragon on Linley’s finger, rushing through Linley’s body and directly into Linley’s mind. That terrifying force directly wrapped up this power of faith, eventually devouring it and disappearing without a trace.
And then, this terrifying force once again passed through Linley’s body at great speed, returning back into the Ring of the Coiled Dragon.
“Grandpa Delin, what’s going on?”
Linley said eagerly.
“I don’t know, that was the power of the Ring of the Coiled Dragon itself, that power is too terrifying, too, too terrifying.”
Derinkovot was so nervous that he could only say the words too terrifying as well. Delinquent Corvette had possessed the Ring of the Coiled Dragon more than five thousand years ago.
However, Derinkelwalt had no idea that the Ring of the Coiled Dragon actually contained such a terrifyingly terrifying energy within it.
Derinkelvort was very certain that if this energy were to attack someone, it would be ten peak Saint Domain powerhouses that would be turned into flying dust in an instant.
“I don’t know what’s going on with this energy, but as the owner of the Ring of the Coiled Dragon, I can’t even sense it, let alone use it.”
Linley also understood in the bottom of his heart that this energy wasn’t that easy to use at all; in the past, when Derinkelwalt was alive, he had worn the Ring of the Discordant Dragon for nearly a thousand years, and hadn’t been able to use that energy.
And at this time – everyone in the top hall of the Temple of Light was shocked, Pope Hastings of Light, along with eight ascetics, three cardinals, two deputy magistrates, and six deacons all looked at this scene in disbelief. In their eyes, Linley hadn’t produced the aura of a divine Favorite at all, and there wasn’t even a Mark of Light on his forehead.
“How is it possible that it failed?”
Hastings looked at Linley in a daze.
