More than ten days ago.
Just before Myrobalan discovered that Oleg appeared on the unknown island in the endless ocean of the Eastern World, he had seen the back of Gregor entering the skyscraper in the CBD Financial Center of the Federation.
Myrobalan knows that betrayers target greedy people.
He didn't take it seriously and continued to follow his own steps, heading towards the endless ocean of the Eastern Earth, pulling Wei Ling into the world of source spirits, sealing the garrison, swallowing Oleg, and then fell into a long sleep.
That day, the old man with dark green eyes entered the luxurious office with a casual attitude.
In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, there was a short, fat and sturdy middle-aged man, overlooking the vast world below.
Under the heavy clouds, all the living beings in the glorious city are like busy worker bees in a hive, rushing towards their destined destiny.
This middle-aged man, named Nurbek, is the youngest and most legendary financier of the Holy Federation.
Nurbek rose from the bottom to the top of the financial world step by step.
He was one of the early gold hunters in the Xixuan Federation. He had a good talent as a Golden Spirit Mage, and his stable and ruthless mage skills allowed him to find his first pot of gold in the wasteland.
At that time, Nurbek did not change the hard-earned metals into golden gold coins like other wilderness hunters, and threw them into casinos and taverns, or threw them on the bellies of women.
The first major investment he made was to recruit a group of wilderness hunters and form a gang.
He purchased standard weapons, used force to plunder, and quickly expanded his strength. He gradually became the ultimate reaper of divine metals in the entire federal underground world, and finally took control of the federal metal exchange business.
Then through large-scale capital operations, they either annexed industries, cannibalized traditional industries, or used corporate means to destroy opponents, secretly controlling the financial market...
He used an extremely fierce method to build a huge business empire around himself, and his tentacles have touched many aspects of the Federation.
During the years of confrontation with the Empire, the Holy Federation issued a large amount of national debt to society, and Nurbek purchased a considerable proportion of the national debt.
Finally, due to the federal financial problems, these national debts were covered by the Federal Bank before the Iasi War, and Nurbek successfully became a shareholder of the Federal Bank.
Two years later, through various means, the Holy Federal Bank has become Nurbek's voice.
In the Federation, there is a secret rumor circulating in the financial circles that it is better to be bitten by ten thousand vipers. If you survive, you will have the opportunity to sell the snake venom and make a comeback.
However, if you are targeted by Nurbek, then everything you have now and everything in the future will be in his possession.
But these will soon be a thing of the past.
The old man looked at the pudgy middle-aged man with a smile and made a judgment for him.
Nurhak felt something unusual behind him and turned around.
Then he saw those dark green eyes and an inexplicable smile.
Years of professional sensitivity made Humpty Dumpty's heart tighten.
This old man who appeared silently looked familiar, as if he had seen him before somewhere. This was definitely not an ordinary occasion!
With his ability, he naturally immediately searched for information about the old man's approximate identity from his memory. Although it was just a guess, looking at his demeanor, it was probably correct.
Nurbek has not had direct contact with the Pope. There is a long distance between the secular financial industry giant and the noble Pope.
But Nurbek also understood that for such an unattainable person to suddenly appear in his office without contacting him in advance, it can only be said that it is absolutely unusual and would either involve huge risks or incomparable benefits.
"Dear Sir, I am flattered by your presence in person. If anything happens, your call is my ultimate mission!"
Nurbek immediately bowed and saluted.
"Haha, what we discuss next really involves your mission."
The old man didn't seem surprised that Humpty Dumpty could guess his identity. He was used to being noble.
He casually sat down on the large and soft sofa with a relaxed attitude.
"I swear on my life that my whole-hearted devotion to the Lord of God is the meaning of my existence!"
Nurbek immediately knelt on the floor in front of the old man.
Gregory looked a little strange:
"Nurbek, you are really a genius. You already know your ultimate mission before I explain my purpose..."
The short fat man didn't know what was going on and looked at the noble old man with some doubts.
For a long time, it was rare for Grigory to be so clear-headed. Suddenly he had some desire to talk:
"As a person in the financial industry, are you really as pious as you appear? How much do you know about the Almighty God?"
Nurbek shook his head blankly. For a guy who is busy making money all day long and whose vocation is in the financial industry, you are undoubtedly talking to him about theology.
He can be religious, but that is just a gesture and not a true thought.
Gregory was not surprised either:
"A few decades ago, in addition to the church's top leaders, every country in the federation had a large temple and a great priest. Occasionally, some of them would have the opportunity to hear the oracle.
But for so many years, not only the cardinals, but also the church’s senior officials, the diocesan minister, and even me as the pope have never had the opportunity to learn about the oracle. Isn’t it strange?
Has God abandoned his people? "
Nurbek was even more confused.
"Haha, it's normal that you don't know. Let me tell you, there is something very interesting happening here.
It is said that the Divine Lord, or the Divine Envoy, incarnated his divine power and soul into many people, spread throughout every corner of the Xixuan Federation, and practiced in this world for decades, but in the end, these people will return one by one, He will walk the earth again..."
Nurbek's eyes were a little out of focus.
He even had the idea that the respected Pope was crazy and talked about the division of gods to a stranger when they suddenly met!
This madman actually thinks that the supreme God is no longer there, or that the God is temporarily gone... This is a betrayal of faith and blasphemy!
He swallowed hard and replied with difficulty:
"I have great respect for you, sir. This is beyond my imagination. I have always believed that he and everything in this world exist eternally.
For example, if the sun is still rising in the east and setting in the west, then the glory of the God Lord will shine on the world...
Even if what you say is true, what does this have to do with me? what can I do? "
Gregor's smile was somewhat mysterious, and he packaged up the conflicts, analyses, speculations and current situation between him and Myrobalan and threw them to Nurbek.
Among the information, there is naturally the special technique he accidentally understood, the detailed process of fighting Mr. Harile, the pain of losing control and disintegration, and the embarrassment and purgatory-like suffering of turning into a monster...
At the end of these messages are those carriers who have not yet been swallowed up and included. Among them are the insidious, despicable, arrogant, cruel, prejudiced, greedy, compassionate, persistent... and so on.
After throwing out the information, Gregory felt a sense of mischievous anticipation.
He hoped to see how helpless and desperate the greedy man in front of him would be, and how contrasting and ironic it would be with his previous so-called dedication of body and soul.
With Nurbek's wisdom and common sense of survival, after receiving this information, he immediately knew that the esteemed Pope would not come and joke with a secular figure like himself.
Yes, Grigory guessed correctly, Nurbek instantly fell into fear, helplessness and despair.
However, after such an extremely short period of fear, despair and sadness, Nurbek's professionalism allowed him to immediately rationally sort out the pros and cons, and also discover the opportunities.
He almost immediately concluded that he was also one of the carriers, and he was most likely the greedy one.
Sometimes in the middle of the night, when no one is disturbing him, he reflects on his actions and feels that he is greedy and there is absolutely no need to rob the other party of the last copper and leave a bad reputation.
However, he just couldn't do it, and more importantly, he didn't even feel a trace of regret.
Greed may be his own nature.
But there is also an opportunity now. If what the Pope said is true, he, like many bearers, everyone has the opportunity to become the only Him. Then, the tolerant can, the betrayer can, but why can't the greedy?
Grigory was shocked to see that after a short period of fear and despair, the short fat man in front of him had a greedy light in his eyes. He looked at him as if he were staring at a very tempting delicacy.
"Sir! This is an excellent opportunity for us to change our identities! I am willing to cooperate fully. We may become Him!
Oh...this is more desirable than any other identity!
I have thought countless times about how I will take my wealth with me when I die, but I have never thought of a way. That is my biggest failure and my greatest sorrow...
I never imagined that if I could live forever, all my worries would cease to exist.
All these worldly things are negligible compared to becoming Him! "
Faced with such a blazing gaze, Gregory couldn't help but squeeze his body into the sofa.
Nurbek was already too close, exceeding the normal social distance between two people meeting for the first time, and his eyes were a little scary.
The short fat man didn't realize this. He moved forward a little further and half-kneeled on one leg:
"Dear Sir, I can completely understand you. As the most respected Pope in the world, you will still choose to betray... If it were me, I would betray you too! Without any hesitation!
Together we will become the supreme gods and we will live forever!
Worldly praise and criticism are meaningless to us, hell will be used to judge our opponents, and heaven will be the abode of our followers...
Oh my god, God who represents the light and future, I would like to thank you with the most pious attitude and the most humble attitude! This is your greatest gift and reward to me! "
The dark green eyes were full of surprise, even a little frightened.
He still underestimated the greedy nature of greedy people.
"It's time to start, my dear sir! Don't hesitate. If Nahorile returns, we will still compete for the remaining carriers. We can't fall behind in timing! Let alone fall behind in strength!"
Nurbek's eyes were intense.
"Okay, as you wish!"
In the large and luxurious office, the black light curtain gradually rose!
There was no expected resistance, nor the familiar wails and screams.
The greedy person withstood the pain of body collapse and melting, soul peeling off and torn apart with tenacity and tenacity beyond human expectation.
He seemed to pervertly enjoy this purgatory-like ordeal, rejoicing and proactively integrating into Grigorius and other carriers.
In just a short moment after integrating, Greedy used the greatest enthusiasm and the hottest joy to help Gregor suppress various other spiritual conflicts and personality splits.
Greed and betrayal seem to be a natural match!
More than ten minutes later, Gregor was still standing where he was, and his figure did not even collapse!
He felt in an instant that other personalities that had previously conflicted with his three views were suppressed in an instant. Greed and betrayal had been perfectly integrated into one!
His eyes were no longer so dark green, and became slightly lighter in color. The expressions on his face became very rich, and there were more desires rising in his heart:
"We must rule this world well, devour everything from the Tolerant, and fuse the remaining carriers to become the supreme existence!"
"The best thing to do now is to appear in the most sacred posture during the New Year's Day Qi worship!"
"Having the bishop in your hands is the most basic control over the people!
Slowly remove those ungodly people from the hands of the secular government and maintain the loyalty of the political community! "
Occasionally, Gregory would have a moment of clarity and ask a question that touched his soul:
Is it the betrayer who dominates this fusion, or the greedy one?
…
On the third day after the New Year, the respected Pope issued the latest oracle to the secular President of the Federation and the Speaker of the Federation:
“The God Lord oracle has decreed that we should increase the plunder of resources from the Eastern World!
Future wars will be dominated by mages. In terms of traditional force, the Xixuan world has fallen behind!
Strengthen our mage army, expand the mage army that jointly performs large-scale spells, put the results of the 'Fire Thief' plan into mass production, and participate in the battle for the endless ocean of the Eastern Land!
At the very least, all the wealth of the Dongri Kingdom must be transported to the City of Glory! "
No one dared to question the oracle coming from His Holiness the Pope.
Isn't the oracle conveyed by the devout and fanatical Majesty not the will of the God?
That is impossible.
