The moment a bright light appeared on the high platform, Tang Jiumin closed his eyes slightly, and then his expression returned to calm, with no emotion on his face.
But his heart was not at peace, because since the ceremony officially started, the speed of energy invasion has been much faster.
The previous speed was only 0.01% per second, but now it reaches 0.12% per second
The current energy invasion is 8%. At this rate, I only have 7 minutes.
Can it be done?
Compared to the more than 30 minutes left in the trial, he couldn't say he was absolutely sure in these short few minutes...
The light illuminates the entire sanctuary.
Everything is bathed in the light of God, and shadows have nowhere to hide. Enemies who violate the doctrine will eventually be punished by God. The humans on that high platform will definitely be obliterated by the god of Ser with his great and unblasphemable power.
The protoss warriors who closed their eyes and started the verification ceremony all had similar thoughts.
When the stone slab faded away and the verification was over, they immediately opened their eyes and looked towards the high platform.
Then, their eyes were about to burst with disbelief.
I expected to see the death of the ignorant and fearless man after being wiped out by their gods, but I found that he was standing on the high platform, intact under the high-intensity divine power, and seemed not to be affected at all.
No, it still has an impact, it seems... the smile is even more arrogant.
Completely different from everything expected.
Ever since this human appeared, everything was beyond their knowledge.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. He is a human being and our enemy. How can he be recognized by the divine canon."
After being unbelievable, I just don’t want to believe it.
"Enemies? When did your faith regard human beings as enemies?" Tang Jiumin was waiting for this moment. He accurately captured these words and immediately counterattacked.
"It was you who ignored the peace agreement and took the lead in breaking it and making humans your enemies. You are a group of treacherous guys!"
"Of course, this has nothing to do with your teachings or your beliefs, because your beliefs have never regarded human beings as enemies. It is you guys who have abandoned your faith who have become the enemies of human beings!"
Quiet.
Too quiet, no more whispers.
Each of these protoss warriors was speechless and stood dumbly below, completely suppressed by Tang Jiumin.
Tang Jiu Min's eyebrows were filled with sarcasm, and he scanned the faces of the protoss warriors one after another, knowing that the heat was coming.
He raised his head, looked at the trial seats one after another around him, took a deep breath, and roared loudly:
"I, under the witness of the sacred ceremony, want to seek a fair trial. This is my right. No one can deny it, and no one can stop it, unless... you choose to betray your beliefs."
He said, raising his hand and pointing to himself: "I have passed the verification of my faith. I am qualified to conduct a fair trial. No one can deny my qualifications."
The protoss warriors below had never seen this scene before. They looked flustered and couldn't hide their shock. They were in chaos throughout the hall, not knowing what to do.
On the high platform, Tang Jiumin looked at the protoss warrior who was suppressed by his words. He was about to say something more, but the next second, a slightly angry shout came from above his head.
"quiet!"
After this angry shout was heard, Tang Jiumin noticed that the God Clan warriors below all showed expressions of surprise and looked towards the second floor expectantly.
Hey, are those guys willing to give up?
Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked towards the second floor.
At some point, four Ser protoss walked out of the five trial seats.
They are different from the protoss warriors below. They do not have helmets and armor. Instead, they wear dark blue cloaks with an inverted triangular alloy decoration on their foreheads, which just covers the protoss runes on their foreheads.
Their weapons are also different. Each of them holds a scepter and looks like a scholar.
Regardless of their clothes or the reactions of the protoss warriors below, these four Ser protoss are obviously more mysterious and have a higher status.
"I've met the priest."
The protoss warriors below saluted and said hello to the four priests above.
It turned out to be a priest from the Ser Protoss.
Just now, he was condescending to those fanatics, and it seemed that now he was going to do the opposite.
Tang Jiumin raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the four condescending priests in turn, without any stage fright.
Soon, he saw the first judgment seat on the right. The priest stepped forward and scanned the entire first floor with sharp eyes, his face displeased.
"A human being, hum! Today's ceremony is really a stain on this temple."
The other party said this in an extremely calm tone, as if Tang Jiumin's series of actions were just a farce in his eyes and had no importance.
As these words fell, in the hall on the first floor, one protoss after another knelt down on one knee. They kept saying something, as if they were praying to the divine code for forgiveness.
However, on the high platform, Tang Jiumin was not in the mood to listen carefully, because after the veteran on the second floor finished his lecture, his eyes locked on him again.
"What a sweet-talking human being, but in the end he is a despicable guy. The sacred teachings of our race naturally include all things, but they do not include you humans. A cunning guy like you actually knows it very well."
The priest's unwavering gaze gave people the feeling that he had seen through everything.
At least that's what the group of protoss warriors below, who thought they were being tricked by Tang Jiumin, thought so.
Inside the enemy, there were enemies above, below, left and right. The words "Get down" sounded again all around, each sound becoming more powerful than the last, making Tang Jiu Min's ears feel hot.
A dark light flashed across the eyes of the priest who spoke. He raised his hand, and the crowd immediately became quiet.
"You humans are the enemies of our Ser Protoss. Although this has nothing to do with doctrine, a war broke out between humans and our clan, resulting in the death of tens of millions of believers in our clan."
"According to doctrine, executioners who kill believers will not be recognized by the church."
"You!" The priest pointed at Tang Jiumin: "You are not qualified to perform this ceremony."
Sitting on the judgment seat, the priest delivers his final judgment.
The aggrieved protoss warriors below boiled over and shouted fanatically.
"Thank you Priest!"
"Kill that human, he is not qualified!"
"Executioner, get down and die!"
But amid the fanatical and angry shouts, Tang Jiumin just calmly picked out his ears.
Hiss, this group of fanatical lunatics is really noisy, they can only shout and shout. There are so many protoss warriors below who are not as difficult as the priest above.
"Hey, hey, be quiet. You are using your home field advantage to compete with someone who has the loudest voice. You want to shout me to death with your voice, right?"
There was dissatisfaction from below, but the sound was quieter.
"According to the teachings, those who pass the verification are qualified." Tang Jiumin stretched out his hand and pointed to the ground.
"I have been verified and stood here, so I should be qualified. However, you who are rumored to abide by the teachings are disappointing."
"I really didn't expect that I worked so hard to meet the priest, but you only wanted to deprive me of my qualifications. I really don't know who stipulated this."
"Is it just you, or is it the consensus of the other priests?"
"Your so-called lack of qualifications is just a one-sided statement. The war between humans and gods did lead to the death of many believers, but so what? Does my race's participation in the war mean that I am disqualified?"
"There are members of your Protoss who have killed their compatriots and been judged. Will the entire Ser Protoss lose their qualifications because of this?"
Tang Jiu Min smiled half-heartedly, and faced the other party's increasingly cold gaze without any fear: "I remember that in the teachings, as long as they pass the test, even the worst offenders are allowed to plead their case."
"The doctrine encompasses all things. The church is so big that it cannot accommodate a human being like me to speak here?"
Three questions, very convincing.
After speaking, Tang Jiumin stared at the priest above, and the divine warriors below could not help but hold their breath, waiting for the latter to respond.
But on the trial bench, the priest who had spoken before was now twisting his forehead together.
This was no ordinary human being, he taught them too thoroughly and things got a little tricky.
When the priest thought of this, he subconsciously looked at the other priests with a slightly solemn expression.
At this moment, both Tang Jiumin and the divine warriors below were waiting for the priest's answer.
The priest's reaction undoubtedly showed that it was difficult to refute Tang Jiumin's words, but such a result was not what the divine warriors wanted to see.
They looked at each other, disappointment beginning to show on their faces.
But then, they followed the priest and looked at the other three expectantly.
As loyal believers, they do not want this human being who has defiled the church to continue to cause trouble, especially with their sacred teachings.
Tang Jiumin noticed the commotion below. He glanced down and then looked up at the high platform. The half-smile expression on his face did not disappear.
Such an action was too dazzling in the eyes of the four priests.
Seeing the commotion among the warriors of his own clan, showing extremely disappointed expressions, finally, another priest pounded his staff and took a step forward.
"What a eloquent human being. You do understand our clan's teachings very well, but you only know the surface because you violated the teachings before the ceremony."
"As the defenders of doctrines and beliefs, we have the right to defend doctrines from being invaded and destroyed, and you, as a human being, are our enemy."
"Instead of entering the temple through normal channels, we sneaked in secretly. This is an act of invasion and sabotage!"
"Now you are not qualified to even approach the church, let alone perform the ceremony."
"Your qualifications were lost when you entered the base in an invasion posture."
Come around? Did this old bird hear what I said before?
interesting.
"Lost? No, no, no, I have it, of course I have it." Tang Jiumin looked at the priest and suddenly showed a meaningful smile.
The priest stared at this human being, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
This strange uneasiness has been lingering in his heart ever since the other party said "you, or another priest" just now.
But for the time being, he didn't understand where his uneasiness came from.
At this time, humans began to refute again.
"As the initiator of the ceremony, I did sneak in secretly and did not enter the base in a normal way, but there is certainly enough reason for all this, and it is a reason allowed by the doctrine."
"Nonsense!"
There was another sound of the scepter hitting the ground, and with this sound, the third priest also stood up and rebuked coldly.
"A guy who sneaked into our clan's base and approached the temple with ulterior motives came out with such high-sounding words. What's your excuse?"
"Of course, because I want to use rituals to challenge injustice." Tang Jiumin immediately retorted.
The priest asked again: "Challenging injustice? So what?"
"No matter how unfair you think it is, there is no reason to approach the church in this way. There is no reason for you to do this."
"Is there no reason? Oh, don't speak too early." Tang Jiumin sneered in reply to the priest.
"The injustice I challenge is the person in charge of the entire Protoss base, the person in charge of the fleet, that is, your captain, Umils."
"According to the teachings, if I challenge authority and power, then facing his men, facing you, I have the right to take measures to avoid any eventuality."
"This is an effort in the interest of justice, and until the bell rings, I have the right to avoid potential obstructionists in a non-lethal manner."
"You are all members of the fleet, and you are all subordinates of the base controller. My invasion is to get closer to the temple and seek justice, and this kind of behavior..."
"Obviously protected by doctrine."
There was no sound in the church, and it was completely silent.
None of the four priests expected that the humans below would actually want to challenge the captain.
It's not a question of whether or not...
This is a crazy move, because as a powerful person, the captain will be pardoned unless it is a serious crime, and if such a challenge fails, he must die to apologize.
Well... of course... this human seems... to die if he doesn't do this.
The priest who questioned Tang Jiumin was stunned. He couldn't help but raise his head and look to the side, and found that the other three priests had the same reaction as him.
Yes, this human has taken advantage of another loophole.
The doctrine did mention this reason of humans, but they did not expect that with such a huge content of doctrine, humans would find loopholes one after another and use them to refute them.
If he really wants to challenge the commander, he does have a reason to avoid them and sneak into the temple secretly. In the final analysis, he just doesn't trust them, which is completely reasonable.
The four priests looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
The priest who just refuted Tang Jiumin turned around and opened his mouth in Tang Jiumin's direction, but he didn't know what to say.
Tang Jiumin looked at the awkward reactions of the four priests, with a flash of light in his eyes.
After about two or three seconds, the priests did not refute, but they also did not agree with the reasons given by Tang Jiumin. Instead, they unanimously looked at the fifth trial seat.
Unexpected reaction.
Tang Jiumin raised his eyebrows vaguely and followed their gazes. It was the judgment seat in the middle, but there was no priest on it.
No, maybe not the priest, it was him, he was there.
Umils, this name was mentioned in the information previously collected from the doctor, and he is the captain of this patrol fleet.
He is also the mastermind behind the secret study of the Great Priest Crystal.
However, he came with the spar, he... dared to show up?
