The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

The bishop was speechless for a moment, unsure how to respond.

"Perhaps, Regulus has only been a God-Sent One for a short time and has not yet reached his full potential, so he cannot unleash the full power of a God-Sent One!"

The bishop became more and more excited as he spoke, feeling that what he was saying was the truth.

The Pope was extremely disappointed, and the thought that this was the team he had led made his heart pound.

"Fool! Regulus has only been a God-Sent One for a short time, but the power of a god cannot be compensated for by time alone! And look at that person, he doesn't meet the requirements to become a God-Sent One at all!"

The bishop was reprimanded and could only cower in the shadows, completely bearing the brunt of the Pope's criticism.

Regulus was quite astonished. As a divine being, although he had only been one for a short time, he already possessed power from the gods.

This power is extremely strong. He once experimented with magical beasts, and no matter what level of magical beast it was, it could be easily defeated once it was entangled with it.

Not even a single magical beast could stop him from unleashing the life force within him. It could be said that as long as he wasn't facing a divine being with the same divine power, he was invincible!

Even when the divine descendant is off guard, he can still unleash his life force.

This ability is actually one of the top secrets of life interaction, known only to successive popes and divine beings.

After figuring out the situation, Regulus exclaimed, "This person also possesses divine power; he is very likely a divine being!"

Pusi chuckled, "What God Descendant? You're a sneaky guy, using a skill that looks like a buff but is actually damaging against me!"

"If I'm not mistaken, you must have developed this skill to deal with other churches, right?"

The Pope sneered, "Now that you all know, there's no way you can let them live. Regulus, show no mercy, send them all to hell!"

Regulus nodded calmly: "I understand."

The Pope didn't care at all how the Holy Church had brought about the birth of a divine being so quickly, because there were simply too many methods. Their Church of Life had also used one of them to make Regulus a divine being ahead of schedule.

The current pope just wants these troublesome individuals to disappear immediately to prevent them from affecting the Church of Life's monopolistic path of faith.

Pusi struck a pose and said nonchalantly, "Then let's go! None of you will leave here today!"

"Possessed by the spirits of heroes!"

With a roar, a humanoid soul appeared in front of him, then floated toward Pusi until the two merged into one.

Pusi's aura suddenly surged, like that of a war god.

"The skills of the Church of War?"

Some bishops exclaimed in surprise, as if they had figured out the origin of Pusi's skill.

The Pope warned, "Be careful, this person is likely a remnant of the Church of War. Don't rush to settle things with him."

Regulus nodded, and then, glowing green, he and Psy began to fight.

Dinan, holding a pistol, spread his hands helplessly: "Do we even need to fight?"

The Pope looked at the gun in his hand, still feeling a bit wary.

After all, at the very beginning, Dinant used this gun to break the arm of a bishop.

If he hits you on the head, it will most likely be fatal.

Although their Church of Life possesses powerful healing abilities, if someone's head is directly smashed open, they won't even have a chance for a final treatment; they'll be out of commission immediately.

The Pope said coldly, "Since you don't want to fight, then wait and see how they decide the winner."

Realizing they were about to miss their chance, the bishop spoke up directly, saying, "Your Holiness, if we go to help Regulus..."

The Pope refused domineeringly: "Just watch quietly, don't disrupt Regulus's rhythm."

Seeing Regulus falling behind in the battle, the bishop hesitated and said, "But..."

"No buts! I'm the one in charge of the church now, and everyone follows my orders!"

Faced with the Pope's firm stance, the bishop had no choice but to comply.

He could only watch the battlefield silently. With the enhancement of his skills, Pusi's abilities had reached a terrifying level. In the battle, he could use unbelievable moves to beat Regulus like a grandson.

Even with its powerful healing abilities, it was quickly beaten until it looked like a pig's head.

While attacking, Pusi also launched a verbal assault: "You so-called divine beings aren't as powerful as the rumors say. You can't even fight back?"

Regulus was helpless against physical attacks, but he could still retaliate against verbal attacks.

"Your enhancement magic must have a time limit, right? If you can't defeat me now, our roles will have to be switched later!"

Regulus said this to urge Pusi to speed up his offensive, thereby accelerating the rate at which Pusi loses his stamina.

The War Church's reckless unification has a clear weakness: they are prone to losing their rationality when fighting.

Regulus's verbal provocation was intended to provoke Pusi into intensifying his attack, thereby revealing a weakness.

Although Nord in the audience had reached an agreement with the Pope not to make a move, he kept his pistol tightly in his hand, ready to aim and fire at the first sign of trouble.

At this moment, he still felt a little regretful. If these people had arrived later, he and Thor would have had time to produce more flintlock muskets or develop more advanced weapons.

That way, there's absolutely no need to be afraid of the group of people in front of you.

As for that bullshit agreement, let them talk to the bullets.

Dinan was extremely anxious. Although his physical abilities had improved day by day since joining the Holy Church, the improvement was still too small to make him able to fight.

After all, according to the teachings of the Holy Church, improving one's strength requires a lot of time, and one cannot slack off in the process of growth.

Generally speaking, it takes about thirty years for a follower of the Holy Church to grow into a powerful individual capable of standing on their own. However, the Holy Church has been established for less than a year, so naturally there are no powerful individuals who can emerge from nothing.

Although Pusi was very strong, his strength did not come entirely from the Holy Church; most of it was a legacy of the Church of War.

This is also why the Pope of Life misjudged his origins.

Watching the battle between Pusi and Regulus, Thor couldn't help but say, "If this battle isn't going to end anytime soon, we'll have to consider running away."

Dinan wholeheartedly agreed: "Yes, although I have great faith in Pusi's strength, that guy on the other side is just too resilient. Pusi can keep him injured for now, but once he's exhausted, the situation will completely reverse!"

The bishop of the Church of Life clearly realized the situation, and he couldn't wait to mock, "Hehehe, your strongest will soon be defeated. He will die, and you won't escape either!"
