Chapter 748 - 30: Heart Image
"..."
Chen Lusi stood there, stunned.
Although the memory was very blurred.
But without a doubt.
That was his mother, the mother who had been dead for nearly twenty years.
...
"Which Great Angel do you think will descend this time?"
Time rewinds slightly.
Goryeo Branch.
Roots.
After Red Cardinal Lamar Aihai finished the previous topic, he looked at Park Haoyu not far away, who still maintained one hand raised with the scepter and two fingers pointing to the sky, and asked again.
"Only His Holiness the Pope would know this, I’m afraid."
Holy Coffin Knight Arakel Tuck shook his head: "You should know, only His Holiness the Pope is qualified to communicate with God... But I think, once things settle here, His Holiness will visit, to let those cowardly and timid swine in North America understand whom they should choose."
Lamar Aihai smiled: "So we have to do our job well, not get carried away, and ensure everything goes smoothly. Is this what you wanted to say?"
Arakel Tuck nodded: "Yes, Bishop."
"Rest assured."
Lamar Aihai shook his head and again smiled: "I am not complacent, Tuck. The reason I discuss these things with you is because when I became a Cardinal, I met an Angel Leader before the Throne. If it’s Him..."
Before the words were finished.
Buzz—
Above Park Haoyu’s head, a silver line... suddenly broke through the swirling black mist, descended from the sky, and fell directly on the Cross-shaped Scepter raised in his right hand.
The sacred aura surrounded the silver scepter.
At the same time.
Park Haoyu slowly lowered his raised left hand and stiffly took a step forward.
Like a child adapting to its body.
Not far away.
Lamar Aihai and Arakel Tuck saw this scene, exchanged a glance, then paused in shock.
Because... the Great Angel descended too quickly.
However, obviously, now was not the time to think about this.
The two briefly exchanged glances, communicated with a look.
Then.
Almost at the same time, the two stepped forward and performed the most solemn Church ritual.
Park Haoyu... or rather the man with Park Haoyu’s appearance, did not look back.
He glanced in the direction of Chen Lusi and the others, then scanned the surroundings, revealing an expression of disgust, opened his mouth, and spewed words that were completely different from any existing language system, grand and solemn.
Lamar Aihai and Arakel Tuck just felt a buzzing in their heads and immediately understood what was said.
"...A repulsive place, an abominable heretic."
Upon hearing such words.
Lamar Aihai paused, hurriedly bowed humbly, and explained: "Commander of Angels, the purification is complete..."
But the ’Commander of Angels’ with Park Haoyu’s appearance didn’t bother to respond to him.
He slowly raised the Cross-shaped Scepter in his right hand, and with the sacred aura surrounding him, a pair of one black and one white, one holy and one rotten wings suddenly spread out from his back.
White light instantly spread in all directions!
And those swirling, seemingly omnipresent black mists, as if encountering something celestial, instantly retreated, driven away and pushed back.
Taking Him as the starting point.
The once desolate, black-cracked ground within two kilometers instantly healed, and even a tinge of green appeared.
However.
This situation did not last long.
Soon enough.
Those resilient flowers that broke through the ground and bloomed in the Yellow Springs quickly withered and wilted, as if they had encountered something unclean.
The purified land, fleeting in an instant.
And the half of the holy wings spread on Park Haoyu’s back also gradually became blackened, rotten.
The other half of his face became increasingly sinister, sharp black horns protruding from his flesh, slowly emerging.
If he was previously a blend of some holy and evil creature.
Then now.
He had completely tilted to the other side.
And in stark contrast to this was the scepter raised high above his head, with a continually enveloping sacred aura.
The descending white Holy Light was growing thicker.
In less than a minute, it had even evolved into a pillar of light shooting skyward.
The Holy Light continued to descend.
But at this moment, the being occupying Park Haoyu’s body continued to fall, becoming more corrupt, his expression more ferocious, and the rotting black wings grew larger, as if about to shroud the entire Yellow Springs.
Behind.
Lamar Aihai and Arakel Tuck seeing this scene couldn’t help but gulp.
This didn’t look like an ordinary Angel Leader... Forcing descent without complete purification of the Yellow Springs, using His divinity, channeling the power of God, transforming the Yellow Springs...
Could it be...
The two exchanged another glance, then excitement appeared in their eyes.
Although this was entirely unexpected for them, it was not a bad thing.
It is foreseeable.
If this duo achieves great success this time, they will undoubtedly become the leaders in the Asia-Pacific region, with the only difference being one at headquarters and the other in East Asia.
For the Roman Catholic Church, the biggest problem in East Asia and Southeast Asia lies in the fact that, at a higher level, it lacks the power to suppress the divine systems of the surrounding many nations, given that this ghostly place indeed has a long history.
Various chaotic divine systems can effectively suppress the clerics of the Roman Catholic Church.
Hecate painstakingly tempted the horse-faced man of the Self and went through great lengths to blend into the Kunlun Pantheon because she dared not force her way in, as the suppression was too strong.
But if.
In the Asia-Pacific region, the Roman Catholic Church gains control over the Yellow Springs and then develops its own divine system.
Then the situation for the Roman Catholic Church here would be different...
Moreover, East Asia here is no smaller than North America, especially the country where the Celestial Strategy Mansion is located.
If they... can replicate what the apostles did in Rome.
Then the whole Asia-Pacific... might become another Rome.
And even bigger, more vast, and more powerful Rome!
They will also become the pioneers... becoming new apostles, forever praised, standing before the divine throne.
Just the thought of it is exhilarating.
Especially, seeing the Angel Leader occupying Park Haoyu’s body in the distance, with wings constantly expanding, almost fully transforming into a demon, the two were even more thrilled.
"...Mouse."
But.
Quickly.
They were interrupted.
Because the Angel Leader in the midst of transformation suddenly raised another hand, pointing in the direction of Chen Lusi and others, once again making an announcement.
But this time.
His voice was no longer solemn and majestic but rather mocking, filled with chaos.
As his words fell, the Holy Light on the scepter split in two, instantly flying toward the direction where Chen Lusi and the others were.
Lamar Aihai and Arakel Tuck paused, then realized something, and couldn’t help but laugh.
"...Someone mixed in? That’s really unfortunate."
...
At the same time.
Chen Lusi stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar middle-aged woman, stunned on the spot.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.
Until.
His right hand was firmly grasped.
He came back to his senses and turned his head.
Chen Lusi turned back, looking at Lin Ying’s worried and captivating face.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Lin Ying raised her other hand, also holding his hand, and softly asked.
As the person who knows Chen Lusi best.
She clearly understood what it meant for Chen Lusi to show this expression.
Others also looked at Chen Lusi.
Chen Lusi opened his mouth, after a long time, he softly said, "I think I saw my mother."
"..."
Lin Ying was slightly stunned, unable to speak.
The others were a bit confused.
On the other side.
Zhuoli was the quickest to react and immediately said, "That’s the Heart Image..."
But.
Before he could finish his words.
A beam of Holy Light came instantly above everyone’s heads, then... suddenly washed down.
Even though Chen Lusi was in a state of distraction, he reacted very quickly, immediately waving the Tai’e in his hand above his head the moment the Holy Light fell.
Golden sparks burst out like sparks from iron forging, exploding instantly.
The Holy Light had not yet descended above everyone’s heads before being split in two.
But Chen Lusi... after all, was in a state of distraction.
He broke the Holy Light above his head, but couldn’t break the Holy Light that fell on the middle-aged woman standing far away.
Quickly.
The Holy Light enveloped the middle-aged woman.
Finally... she seemed to smile at Chen Lusi.
Then.
She completely disappeared.
Chen Lusi looked at this scene, standing frozen on the spot.
And the next second.
The mocking voice sounded again.
"...Mouse."
"..."
Chen Lusi regained his senses and slowly turned his head.
