Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Lilith's Mansion.

Lilith finished her shower, with crystal water droplets on the ends of her hair. She leaned lazily in front of the radio, holding a glass full of red wine in her hand.

On the radio, the Whisperer deliberately lowered his voice and reported, "The temple is in complete chaos."

"At that time! The entire inner city... everyone, civilians and guards alike, fell into a coma, as if some force had instantly drained their consciousness." The whisperer's voice trembled. "Afterwards, the temple immediately blocked the news, but some information still leaked out, including that the Holy See's ascension ceremony had failed, affecting everyone in the temple, including the Pope."

Lilith's pupils suddenly contracted.

A few days ago, the association inquired about Wu Heng's movements, and since he dared to attack the Holy Hall, it goes without saying that this person is Wu Heng.

During the days he was missing, everything was normal in the Island Master's Mansion, which also meant that Wu Heng was not in danger.

But I never expected that he would do such a horrific thing.

The temple was attacked.

Everyone in the inner city fell into a coma, the ceremony of the Holy See was disrupted, and the Pope was also affected.

To describe it with the words often used by the Vatican, this is divine punishment.

"Leader?" A cautious call came from the other end of the radio, pulling her back from her thoughts.

Lilith took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. "Can you find out the specific damage to the temple?"

"There's no confirmed news yet," the Whisperer hesitated and said, "But strangely, the Temple's reaction this time wasn't as extreme as in previous times. It even seemed like they were trying to suppress it and keep a low profile."

Suppress this matter?

Low key?

Lilith frowned, but immediately reacted.

This is because they are afraid that Wu Heng will go there again.

"Keep watching," Lilith said softly. "Don't investigate any losses or what happened. Just keep an eye on their movements. If they make any moves, notify me immediately."

"Yes! Then I'll go back first." said the whisperer.

"Proceed with caution."

The radio's humming stopped abruptly, and silence returned to the room.

Lilith leaned back in her chair, tapping the armrest lightly with her fingertips, her eyes narrowed slightly, lost in thought.

Wu Heng's motives for his actions are not difficult to guess.

The main reason must be the Vatican's list of "blasphemers".

Lilith thought that he might be maneuvering secretly, that he might be negotiating and exerting pressure, and even that he might be planning a local counterattack...

But I didn't expect that they would directly charge into the temple!

Not only did he destroy the hero promotion ceremony, but he also eliminated the threat from the Holy See with an almost crushing attitude.

But what is even more shocking is the power displayed by Wu Heng.

The people in the entire city fell unconscious instantly...

This is beyond heroic.

No matter how powerful a hero is, it is only a leap in ability, and it is not really exaggerated enough to affect an entire city.

If he could easily break through the defenses of the temple, then where in this world could he not go?

The association's headquarters? The Elf King's Court?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt a chill down her spine. She couldn't help but spit out a low voice, "This guy...how many more cards does he have hidden?"

But on second thought, I felt a little relieved.

My vision is indeed good.

……

[Breakthrough of Faith]: Consume the power of faith and force qualified professionals to break through their own limits and enter a higher level.

[Human Form Wear and Tear]: When the user forcibly breaks through the realm, the soul and body gradually lose their human characteristics, emotions are lost, the body is alienated, or cognition is distorted.

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows as he looked at the detailed explanation of the effects and side effects of the strange item.

[Broken Mirror of Faith] must be the key to the Holy See's ability to continuously produce heroes.

Although breakthroughs need to meet specific conditions, for the Holy See, which has accumulated faith for thousands of years, the power of faith is not worth mentioning at all.

If the Holy See does not take this rare item, it will continue to produce heroes.

The side effect is called [Human Form Wear], where the soul and body gradually lose their humanity.

It can be understood that heroes who use faith to break through will be affected by strange objects, which may appear in emotions and cognition, or may cause physical changes.

But what is this price compared to the power gained?

Consider the Immortal Emperor of the Endless Desert.

In order to live as a hero, he turned himself into a zombie.

Moreover, the Holy See-created Holy Sees have not undergone any significant changes in appearance.

Stop talking about them.

Wu Heng's original plan was that if his life span came to an end and he did not become a hero, he would most likely become a corpse ghost.

"Uncle, is this the thing we are looking for?" Xiaoxiao flew around twice but didn't see anything special.

The other three ghosts also looked at him.

Wu Heng said, "Yes, it is this magical item that can allow clergy to break through to the heroic level. Of course, this requires consuming the power of faith of the Holy See."

After a pause, he added, "The side effect is... the target who is breached will gradually lose their humanity."

"What is human nature?" Xiaoxiao asked.

Wu Heng thought about the wording and then explained, "For example, they lose their human emotions, or their bodies begin to transform into non-human beings, or their cognition is different from that of humans."

"Oh!" Xiao Xiao seemed to understand, and then said, "It turned into a zombie."

"You can't understand it that way. The heroes we defeated didn't look much different from the outside. This kind of 'loss of humanity' shouldn't be serious." Wu Heng said.

Xiaoxiao nodded, "It seems that nothing has changed."

The empress, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke up, "Is there no requirement for the number of times it can be used?"

Wu Heng shook his head, "I don't know, it seems there is no requirement."

"If there isn't one, why does the Holy See only maintain four Holy Sees?" The Queen was a little confused.

Granda replied, "It seems to be the tradition of the Holy See to maintain the configuration of the Four Holy Sees."

"If that's the case, it's a bit pedantic indeed," the Empress concluded.

Beni also said, "Now the only hero left is the Pope. I guess the list of blasphemers won't be issued!"

"Even if it's not abolished, it won't cause any trouble." Glenda chuckled. "The skeleton guards around Wenmantha and Brittany are enough to protect their safety."

Wu Heng agreed and said, "Yes, our main problem has been solved."

Without heroes to carry out the mission, the threats from the Holy See are nothing but empty words.

Whether it is Wenmantha, Brittany, or the elders of the wood elves, they all have the ability to stop the actions of ordinary professionals.

The Pope probably wouldn't dare to leave the church alone.

Grenda looked at Wu Heng and said, "This is good now. The Church has lost the ability to mass-produce heroes, so we can take this opportunity to develop our faith."

"Yeah, I think so too." Wu Heng nodded.

Then, Wu Heng took out a gorgeous crown and a scepter inlaid with holy crystal from the space ring.

"Wow! There's another treasure?" His little eyes lit up.

Wu Heng coughed lightly and explained, "I saw no one wanted it on the ground, so I picked it up."

A small cheer: "The sanctuary is such a wonderful place!"

The other three ghosts looked at the big and the small one in silence.

This is obviously the Pope's stuff!

"This hat is so pretty. When you were a fox girl, did you have such a pretty hat?"

"Fancy."

……

Wu Heng set his eyes on the first rare item, the crown.

[Oracle of the Holy Power (Rare Item)]

[Effect: Oracle acts on your behalf, eternal continuation.]

[Side Effect: Faith is fuel, while those without faith are judged.]

(Description: When light shines through the crown, the ground is cast with the shadows of thorns and scepters, as if silently proclaiming the 'divine right'.)

[Oracle]: The wearer's words will be endowed with divine authority, and believers will instinctively obey their instructions, even against their own will.

【Eternal Continuation】: Death is not the end. The wearer's soul will be sealed in the crown for seven days, during which time they will be immune to all forms of annihilation.

[Firewood of Faith]: If the faith of the Church collapses, the crown will devour the wearer as the last 'firewood of faith'.

[Judgment of the Unbelievers]: When non-believers wear and use the crown, holy flames will burst out from their pores and burn the blasphemer into gray "dust of repentance".

When Wu Heng saw that the holy flame would burst out from the pores when non-believers wore and used the crown, he stopped wanting to pick it up.

I used to have a Vatican emblem that could also cause fire to burn, but I haven't taken it out for a long time.

Now here comes another one!

[Oracle] is arguably the most terrifying tool of rule, capable of making believers instinctively obey orders. It's truly terrifying.

[Eternal Continuation] is more like a life-saving ability. After death, the soul will be protected by the crown for 7 days.

From this perspective, the Holy See is not so hostile to the soul. At least the effect of the magic object protects the Pope's soul.

Why didn’t the previous two popes wear this crown to fight against me?

No, it's useless even if you wear it. If it falls into your hands, you will still die after seven days.

There are two side effects.

[Firewood of Faith] is a bit special. When the faith of the Holy See collapses, the wearer becomes the last firewood.

This is going to burn yourself.

I used to play a dark game, collecting the souls of kings as fuel to keep the flame going.

It feels somewhat similar.

The final [Judgment of the Unbelievers] means that anyone without faith who uses the crown will be burned to death.

In other words, if you are not a member of the Vatican, you are not allowed to use it.

……

After looking at the first one, continue looking at the second scepter.

[Divine Judgment (Strange Item)]

【Effect: Divine judgment, miracles appear.】

【Side effect: Sincere repentance.】

(Description: You think you are in charge of judgment? You are just a prisoner whipping the gods.)

[Divine Judgment]: Conduct a "soul trial" on the target, forcing them to confess their crimes or bear the divine punishment corresponding to their sins.

[Miracle Manifestation]: The scepter has advanced abilities such as "Wound Healing", "Toxin Purification", and "Limb Regeneration".

[Sincere Repentance]: Each time you use the 'effect', you need to sincerely repent seven times, otherwise you will suffer the same effect backfire the next time you cast the spell.

Read the properties.

Wu Heng's eyes moved.

This one looks like it could be used.

Ignoring the four ghosts who were still discussing the hat, Wu Heng picked up the scepter and pointed it at the empty space beside him.

A brilliant holy light fell and disappeared in an instant.

The Holy See's [Holy Word].

The four ghosts that were originally chattering froze instantly.

Xiao Xiao exclaimed, "Wow! Golden Legend."

Glenda frowned, "The power of the Holy See."

The queen said, "Have you rebelled?"

Beni said, "You are not, are you possessed by some evil thing?"

"Just testing the weapon." Wu Heng rolled his eyes and continued, "Wait a minute, the weapon has side effects."

After saying this, he made the gesture of confession in the Vatican, "I am guilty! I was wrong..."

The air was suddenly quiet.

Wu Heng recited it seven times quickly, then stood up. "End! We can use this one, too. It's pretty good."

Glenda said angrily, "Do you have any backbone? After all, you are the Pope of the Lingqi Church now, and you have to confess to the Holy See."

"As long as the magic item is useful, there's no need to think too much about it." Wu Heng explained.

"What effect? Tell me about it," said the Queen.

Wu Heng quickly explained the effects of the two strange objects.

Then he took out the Pope's space ring and placed all the items around him.

"Did you pick this up?" Xiaoxiao widened her eyes.

"I picked it up!" Wu Heng replied, and began to check with the four souls and divide the spoils.

After looking at them one by one for a while, there was a knock on the door.

"Master, dinner is ready." Minnie's voice also came.

"Okay, you guys pick! I'm going downstairs to eat." Wu Heng stood up and said.

Xiao Xiao immediately said, "Uncle, can I give this big gem to Sister Lilith?"

"Okay! Pick a nicer-looking package." Wu Heng looked back and nodded.

……

Went downstairs to the dining room with Minnie.

The table was already filled with a sumptuous dinner.

As soon as Wu Heng sat down at the main seat at the long table, he felt several gazes staring at him.

"Let's eat first and talk while we eat." Wu Heng smiled and took the lead in cutting a piece of steak and putting it on his plate.

The others followed suit and began to enjoy the sumptuous dinner.

The skeleton waiters moved silently and continued to serve the prepared delicacies.

It took about five minutes to work.

Shannara looked up and asked, "Is it resolved?"

Wu Heng nodded, "It's solved."

"The Presbyterian Church..."

"No need to notify them, so as not to worry." Wu Heng picked up the wine glass and took a sip. "There won't be any danger."

The wood elf sisters paused slightly and looked over curiously.

Although he didn't know what happened, Wu Heng went out to solve it personally, and since it involved the wood elves, it was definitely not a small matter.

The younger sister of the wood elves, Sylvain, immediately came forward and said, "Shannara, what's going on? It involves the Elder Council."

Shannara smiled and said mysteriously, "You don't need to know. Knowing it will only affect your daily practice."

"You are not even as high as me in level. If you are not afraid, why should I be afraid?" Sylvain said dissatisfiedly.

Shannella glanced at Wu Heng, and seeing that he didn't try to stop her, she said directly, "I can tell you, but you two must promise not to tell the wood elves."

"Yes! We promise." Sylvain nodded.

The elder sister among the wood elves also nodded.

Shannella said softly, "It's nothing serious. The Church wanted to purge all the elders of the Presbyterian Church."

The two sisters widened their eyes instantly and looked at her in horror.

Shannara smiled, "Look at the expressions on your faces. It's okay now. Wu Heng has dealt with it."

"I must have been tired lately and am hallucinating." Sylvain pinched his thigh.

On the other side, Wu Heng, Viola and Minnie also chatted for a while.

Wu Heng's phone rang. He looked over and saw it was a message from Lilith, "Come over tonight."

"good!"

Just after sending a message to Lilith, Xiaoxiao came back jumping from outside.

In her arms was a gift box that looked very gorgeous.

"Why are you back?" Wu Heng asked curiously.

"Sister Lilith said she has something to do tonight, so she asked me to go play with her tomorrow." Xiao Xiao said, then glanced at the dining table and asked, "Sister Philippa, do you want to play games later?"

Philippa thought for a moment and said, "Shall we go to the entertainment city? I heard there are some dance machine masters there. Let's show them how powerful our Island Master's Mansion is."

Xiao Xiao also agreed immediately, "Okay, okay!"

Wu Heng said to Shannara, "I have something to do tonight and need to deal with some follow-up matters."

Shannella nodded, "Okay!"

Had dinner.

Philippa, Robe and others went to the entertainment city, while the rest went to the training room for training.

Wu Heng thought about his words, then released the [Teleportation Spell] and disappeared.

……

The magic circle dissipated, and Wu Heng was already standing on the carpet in Lilith's bedroom.

The familiar cool fragrance hits you in the face, mixed with the cool air slowly delivered by the air conditioner.

In front of the dressing table, Lilith was wearing a silk nightgown, revealing her fair skin on her neck, arms, and thighs.

He was fiddling with his phone in his hand and looked over here.

"Miss me?" Wu Heng asked with a smile.

Lilith looked up at him and said seriously, "How did you do that?"

"What?"
