Chapter 192 Return
"Relax, Priest Carol, you have said everything you need to say, and you can return to the arms of the Lord."

Carol was brought into the cathedral. The sun had already set and the believers had finished their sunset prayers. The church was now empty again, with only one person waiting with a smile for Carol to officiate.

However, High Priest Carol was unable to answer now. He had completely lost his human form and it was even difficult for him to open his mouth.

"High Priest Talos, when will you change your habits?"

The figure looked at the high priest who escorted Carol in.

The high priest simply shrugged and looked at the figure in front of him.

"Your Holiness, you know that I have always been very sensible. His injuries will not affect the interrogation at all."

The high priest had no intention of continuing the Pope's words, and under his control, the chains loosened.

"Hate does not bring you closer to God."

The archbishop obviously did not take the Pope's words seriously.

"You know, we don't expect to have the opportunity to get close to God. Our mission is to protect humans under the power of God. And it seems that He is very satisfied with our current work. Otherwise, I would not be able to borrow so much power from Him."

The light of divine power lit up in the hands of the high priest, and the Pope could feel the powerful divine aura in this dim yellow light.

"Forget it, prepare yourself well. Once he opens his mouth, you will have a lot of work to do."

"That would be great."

The high priest had a pleasant smile on his face and seemed to be happy from the bottom of his heart about the Pope's words.

This means that he will be able to start a killing spree soon.

"By the way, I heard that two candidate priests escaped during this operation?"

The high priest's face darkened.

This was not a matter central to the mission, and he did not mention it in his report, but the Pope seemed to be aware of it.

The high priest was not dissatisfied with the Pope for planting spies in his team. For a team like theirs, planting spies was necessary and he could fully understand it. What made him dissatisfied and unhappy was that the survivors were let go, and his men had not caught the last two survivors until now.

"Yes, I left a small team to chase them. Although we haven't found them yet, at least it seems that they have no time to pass on information to the outside world."

The latest news from the pursuit team is that the two survivors have completely disappeared without a trace. Although they are still searching, it will probably be difficult to rediscover the target when they have completely lost track of them.

In a recent report, they requested that the mission be terminated.

"I have already sent another team to assist in the search, and we will definitely eliminate all the troubles."

Of course, the high priest did not accept the pursuit team's request.

"No need. Withdraw the pursuing team. They will have more important tasks."

The high priest struggled for a moment, but finally bowed his head and accepted the Pope's order.

"Yes, I will take them back."

The church fell into a brief silence. The Pope raised his hand and the light of divine power flashed in his hand. Then, the warm sunlight enveloped Carol, and the wounds on his body began to heal under the power of divine power.

The high priest was indeed quite "sensible". High Priest Carol only had some superficial injuries on his body, and the reason for his weakness was simply excessive blood loss. He would be able to recover a little with simple treatment.

At least recover to the extent that it will not affect the subsequent interrogation.

"Okay, you can go back now." The Pope had already issued an order to expel the guests. The high priest took a last look at the statue behind the Pope, which still shone with a divine aura. Then, he lowered his head and left the church.

"You should be able to talk now."

Seeing the high priest leave, the Pope turned his attention back to Archpriest Carol.

"Silence won't buy your men any time. Those who wanted to take action after losing contact with you have been discovered and arrested by surveillance personnel."

The Pope walked toward Carol and crouched down so that he was eye level with him.

"It's just that you did a really good job of keeping secrets. These people don't know anything except that their superior is you."

Carol still didn't speak, and the Pope could only sigh in the end.

"I don't actually want to use a rough approach. After all, we believe in the same god, and we should be brothers and sisters..."

The Pope's speech was interrupted.

"You are not worthy of being brothers with true believers, you..."

A powerful pressure interrupted Carol, making it difficult for him to squeeze out the remaining few words in his throat.

The Pope stood up, and warm sunlight emanated from his body. For any ordinary person, this kind of light would only make them feel warm and comfortable, but when these rays fell on Carol, it seemed as if they had concrete mass, pressing him hard to the ground.

"Open your heart and feel the breath of God."

Carol remembered this sentence. Every believer would, under the guidance of this sentence, truly feel the existence of God for the first time, and release the first divine spell under the guidance of the official clergy.

Carol hadn't heard these words for a long time. After he became the chief priest, he no longer guided new believers to become clergy. He never thought that he would hear these words again in this situation.

However, this time the words were not as mild as before.

The aura of divinity spread throughout the entire church, filling the entire space. Carol felt as if she was not in a church but in the kingdom of God.

And in front of me is a sun.

"Open your heart and give all your worship to the sun."

A divinity-filled voice echoed in his mind. It was the god he believed in, asking him to give up everything he had.

"Yes, great Lord."

Carol was unable to muster the slightest thought of resistance. A divine power entered his mind. Carol felt that his past was gradually drifting away from him. Soon, he knew nothing.

The divine aura gradually dissipated, and the night once again invaded the church through the windows.

There is no God here, no sun, only the Pope quietly looking at the body of Priest Carol, which has completely lost all life.

“May you find peace in His presence.”

The Pope bowed silently to the lifeless body, then walked to the lectern and pressed the button on it.

After a long while, several servants walked into the church. Seeing the lifeless Priest Carol in front of them, they did not show any surprise and silently lifted him up.

"In the cemetery behind the church."

The next day, a new tombstone appeared in the cemetery behind the church where the chief priest was buried.
