The Pope's action not only drove back the mysterious strong man behind the portal, but also represented the attitude of the Holy See and acted as a powerful deterrent. Therefore, during the next trip of Huang Shang and others, they did not No more trouble.
Even Poseidon, whom they were most worried about, didn't show up. They didn't know whether it was out of fear of the Pope or because he was busy with other things and couldn't get away.
In the process of approaching and arriving at the Vatican, Huang Shang and others also discovered one thing, that is, the closer they got to the Vatican, the more gathering places they saw along the way, and the more people there were. The zombies and ghosts that were once everywhere became less and less.
Even when they were only two or three hundred kilometers away from the Vatican, they felt as if they had entered a pure land. There was almost no trace of zombies or other types of monsters along the way. Even those The buildings destroyed in the apocalyptic disasters all have obvious signs of repair and reconstruction, as if someone is rebuilding and repairing these ruins.
It is a pity that the end of the world will destroy human civilization much faster than it can be rebuilt. In the face of the flames brought by the sixth heavenly change, those buildings, monuments and even monuments that have just been rebuilt or are even being rebuilt are Cities were once again burned by flames and turned into ruins.
However, although these rebuilt buildings and even monuments were burned down, most of these increasingly common survivor bases within two to three hundred kilometers close to the Vatican survived.
These cities seemed to be protected by some special power, and they were all shrouded in holy light. The power of these holy lights is extremely powerful. Even the blazing Golden Crow Fire can't break through the defense of this holy light, let alone harm the people in the city.
What's even more surprising to Huang Shang is that the survivors in these cities seem to be people who have practiced cultivation. Even if they are not superpowers, these people are surrounded by pure light power, and their strength seems to be very strong. Not too weak.
"The people living in these cities are devout believers."
Seeing Huang Shang's surprised look, St. Augustine smiled slightly and said: "Some of them live here originally, while others gathered from all directions after the end of the world to beg for the Lord's grace and protection."
"Although the Holy City has limited space and cannot accommodate all believers, His Majesty the Pope still sent people to help these people establish these bases near the Holy City."
"In addition, His Majesty the Pope also asked people to teach these believers how to practice. In addition, the light magic arrays arranged when establishing these gathering places, as well as the priests who stayed in the gathering places to teach light magic and protect everyone, Therefore, these gathering places also have good defense capabilities, which are enough to deal with most dangers."
"More importantly, His Majesty the Pope will also send the Holy Knights to regularly clean up monsters in the area to ensure the safety of believers as much as possible."
Having said this, St. Augustine sighed again and said: "It is a pity that the current situation is too difficult and dangerous. Even if His Majesty the Pope has the heart to protect all believers, he is unable to do so. He can only reluctantly expand the safe area to the Holy Land." Within a range of three hundred kilometers around the city, as for letters from further afield...hey."
"This is quite an impressive feat!"
No matter what the purpose of the Pope was to protect these survivors, even Huang Shang knew in his heart that it was most likely for the power of faith, but in terms of the result, the Pope and the Holy See did a great good deed after all. How many survivors were saved.
But at the same time, Huang Shang also had a better understanding of the power of the Holy See!
Being able to turn a 300-kilometer radius of the Holy City into a pure land, coupled with the size of the Vatican itself, the power of the Holy See is definitely more powerful than he imagined. What's more important is that the survivors in these gathering places are protected, taught and brainwashed by the Holy See. The large number of believers they shelter can not only provide them with powerful faith, but also form an extremely powerful fighting force. Legion!
This is much scarier than the petty quarrels between the major ancient capitals and other sect forces!
No wonder even the forces outside the Vatican are so afraid of the Holy See!
Thinking of this, Huang Shang felt curious again.
The power of the Holy See is indeed more powerful than he imagined, but as the top ancient forces and even more powerful than the Holy See, don't the Taoist and Buddhist sects have any corresponding preparations?
impossible?
So if so, what are the preparations for Taoism and Buddhism?
On the Buddhist side, Living Buddha Jigong told Bi Xia to go to him after returning to China. There must be corresponding explanations.
The previous appointment between Lu Dongbin and himself might also be the same.
The problem is that although there are many followers of Taoism and Buddhism, the degree of brainwashing is not as good as that of the Holy See. Moreover, there is no holy city like the Vatican. Even if it can have great influence in Buddhist countries such as Tianzhu, it may not be as influential as the Holy See. Build up a huge army of monks.
Or are Taoism and Buddhism taking other paths?
"Um?!"
However, when Huang Shang's thoughts were racing, he seemed to suddenly feel something. His whole body trembled slightly, and then he suddenly raised his head and looked towards the far distance.
At this moment, even though he was still nearly a hundred kilometers away from the Vatican, he could still clearly feel the vast aura coming from a hundred kilometers away!
It was a terrifying aura that he had never felt before!
Even if all the powerful men he had ever encountered combined, they would definitely not be as terrifying as this aura!
This feeling was like a true god descending from the sky standing in front of them, and like a blazing rising sun hanging, that kind of indescribably powerful, vast, and bright aura, even with his current cultivation. Because, even from such a long distance, I felt a terrible pressure, and an urge that seemed to want to kneel on the ground and worship!
The Vatican, this holy city that has stood in the world for thousands of years and accumulated the power of faith of countless believers, is finally about to appear in front of him!
And he will also face the biggest challenge since the end of the world!
If he can get through this, he can use the power of the Vatican to soar into the sky and gain countless benefits.
But if you can't survive it...
Then he is afraid that he will be completely brainwashed by the power of the Vatican, lose himself, and become a "devout" believer in the Vatican!
