I suppressed the weirdness in the shelter

Chapter 197: Stepping Stone on the Road to Deification
On the altar, Wyatt and the Pope stood side by side in front of a stained glass window, dancing with a huge statue of the goddess.

The two seem to be harmonious, but in fact they have already gone in opposite directions.

Apart from some old events, the biggest rift between the two now is how to deal with Grey's remaining soul.

The Pope still planned to bury the remaining souls, which Wyatt could not understand.

As an eyewitness, Wyatt knew very well what was contained in Grey's remaining soul.

That is by no means a friendly "pure" transcendental being, but rather an alien pollution of unknown origin and dangerous location.

Whether it was Wyatt or the Pope, the pollution contained in the residual souls was the most terrible pollution they had ever seen.

The Anqueduct frequently sneaks into the Requiem Cemetery to steal the remaining souls. It is hard to say whether they are looking for Gray's remaining soul.

For heretics, the temptation of pollution is extremely great. A polluted residual soul leaked from outer space has extremely high value.

If they are really looking for this remnant soul, then there are so many things they can do.

For both public and private reasons, Wyatt would not let them succeed.

Therefore, the best way to deal with it now is to take Gray's remaining soul from the church.

"Give me Gray's remaining soul."

"You can take it without asking for my opinion."

"Are you blackmailing me?"

"Haha, so this is how you understand it."

The remaining soul of Grey was handed over to the church by the Elf King's Court. As for the ownership, as the saint of the church, even if Grey has fallen, her remaining soul should belong to the church.

It was church property, so Wyatt knew exactly what the pope meant.

The Pope has the power to mobilize everything belonging to the church. If you want to obtain all the items of the church, the best way at the moment is to succeed the Pope.

Wyatt was ashamed of this threat.

Aren’t you really afraid, old man, that after I succeed the Pope, I will directly hold a party with the Music Aid Society?

Wyatt sighed helplessly.

It is definitely impossible to succeed the Pope. Trying to do so by force would be tantamount to breaking off relations with the Church.

If he was alone, it wouldn't matter, but Wyatt had a lot to think about right now.

As of now, Grey's soul is not in the Requiem Cemetery, the burial ceremony has not yet begun, and the coronation of the new Pope is about to begin.

In the short term, Gray's remaining soul will not be brought to the surface, so temporarily preserving it in the church is a possible solution.

It won’t be too late to steal the remaining soul from the church after the coronation ceremony is over.

Now let's talk about other things.

"Is it possible that the pagans desire Gray's remaining soul?"

"They are just craving for Gray's remaining soul."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Have you heard of the Road to Deification?"

Wyatt naturally knew what the Road to Deification was. In fact, he was quite knowledgeable about it.

In a time so far away that even historical records do not exist, a sage from ancient times miraculously met the "Creator". He was the so-called First God-Seeker.

His audience was understated, and no one knew what he received from the "Creator", but he left behind a treasure called "The Road to Deification" for future generations.

This is a way to have the chance to become a god without relying on the "Creator".

By stealing divine power, life forms are upgraded to so-called demigods, and then the door to the divine world is opened with the help of this status.

As long as one can establish his own throne in the divine world, he can become a true god.

Although it sounds simple, in practice, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven. There are many ways to steal divine power, but they are often accompanied by madness, just like dancing with death.

The safest way is to become an apostle first.

However, it is not easy to be an apostle. Even if you become one, you still have to be wary of your own kind, and stealing divine power is even more difficult.

Therefore, the Road to Deification was once considered a fantasy.

On the one hand, it is too difficult to operate, and on the other hand, this method is not complete.

Because the First God Seeker did not say anything about how to establish the throne in the God Realm.

However, this does not prevent some hopeless people from rushing towards this path. In fact, some people are already just one step away from reaching the realm of gods.

Wyatt looked at the old man next to him with a look of disgust in his eyes.

He hates two kinds of people: one is the person who squeezes the toothpaste when talking, and the other is the person who doesn't let himself squeeze the toothpaste when talking.

The Pope belongs to the former.

"So what does Gray's residual soul have to do with the road to becoming a god?"

"Becoming a god is like crossing a river. The water is fast-flowing and bottomless. Therefore, no one can reach the other side of becoming a god."

“The road to becoming a god is like throwing stepping stones into a river. Although it is dangerous, it also gives people the possibility to cross the river.”

"If you want to successfully reach the other side, it is very important that the stepping stone is reliable. Gray's residual soul is the most solid stepping stone for the pagans who want to become gods."

With that said, Wyatt probably understood.

Among the pagans there is a demigod who wants to complete the journey to godhood, so he needs more divine power to support him.

The pollution within Gray's residual soul came from outer space. Its origin was unknown, but its status was extremely high.

If one could establish a connection with something outside the universe through Gray's remaining soul, it would be equivalent to gaining an endless supply of divine power.

Ideally, you can even be sent to the divine realm.

Of course, this method is quite dangerous and crazy.

But pagans don't care about these things. Don't expect those who believe in evil gods to have any normal thoughts.

"The pagans always come up with something that makes people's eyes go dark."

"I heard that you arrested a group of Anmian people a few days ago. Don't let your guard down. Shenhui City is more dangerous than you think."

"The wise and powerful Pope Faladucs V is truly humble. He spoke so freely about the dire situation of the Divine Glory City under his rule."

Wyatt ignored Pope's advice and fired back with taunts.

Without him having to say much, Wyatt certainly knew that there were other pagans in the City of Divine Glory, and even the Sleeping People had only suffered a temporary defeat.

What can be confirmed now is that there is a heretic demigod lurking in Shenhui City, which is a major event that cannot be ignored.

The martial virtues of demigods should not be underestimated. If judged from the perspective of the Path to Deification, demigods are even superior life forms to apostles.

All in all, regardless of whether this demigod poses a threat, it is always better to be cautious, as no one wants to be stabbed suddenly.

Wyatt turned around and prepared to leave the altar, but when he was near the stairs, the Pope suddenly called him.

"What are your plans for Gray's remaining soul?"

"I am not going to succeed the Pope, nor do I intend to give up her remaining soul. After the new Pope is crowned, I will come to take her remaining soul myself."

"Before that, you have to face the heretics lurking throughout the entire Shenhui City."

"It doesn't matter. It's better to say that it's what I want. Anyone who has any intentions towards her soul should die."

Wyatt glanced back at the Pope, and although it was clearly a question, it felt dangerous.

"And what do you expect of her soul?"
