"What's going on?" Austin was confused, "Why didn't anyone come?"
"I don't know, this place is really unfamiliar." Mariano replied, "I haven't been to Doveira for a long time."
"The Church of Poseidon in Dofrela has declined, and has been severely suppressed by the Church of the Harvest Goddess. It basically has no decent power. Even the Inquisition has become a tool of the nobles. That's why Trang put my body on here."
"Is it convenient to guard and steal?" Austin suddenly wondered.
"Well, it is precisely because of the decline of Poseidon that many Poseidon bishops in the Kingdom of Dofrela are eager for Poseidon to walk on the world again, and have tried many different methods for this purpose." Sophia explained, "Your Kingdom of Meletni will Dofrela's Poseidon Church is called the 'Reformist', or the 'New Poseidon Church', and there may be a fierce conflict between the two parties one day in the future."
"If the reformists are all guys like Trang, then they are quite dangerous." Austin recalled what happened on Bahar Island and sighed.
A few people were chatting and eating, and the sound of slow and empty footsteps came from around the corner.
Feeney hobbled into the corridor, leaning on a cane.
"Trang, are you there?" The old and hoarse voice echoed in the corridor, although it was hoarse but very loud.
"They pushed out this old thing like me again and said you were missing. Let me come and take a look." Feeney murmured as he moved forward slowly, "I'm too old and I'm just a helpless chicken." It’s just an old thing with powerful power, if it involves the supernatural, I can’t solve it.”
"At that time, you said that you had found the goddess Poseidon and wanted to use her to make Poseidon walk in the world again. I tried to persuade you at that time, but you were really stubborn."
As he spoke, he had already walked to the cell where Sophia was held.
"Look, you got yourself involved in the end, right?" Feini sighed, "The Poseidon Church in the Kingdom of Dofrela has already declined, and now that you are missing, how will we revive it in the future?"
Feeney paused for a moment, narrowed his eyes and looked at Sophia, who was lying motionless on the bed.
"Tran, I know what you did to awaken the Poseidon. You have changed, become paranoid and crazy. I tried to stop you last time, but failed. This time you finally reaped the consequences."
"However." Feeney stretched out his hands in his robe, holding an exquisite flintlock gun in his right hand. "In order to prevent future generations from making the same mistakes, I must eliminate this heresy and perform the final act of the presiding judge of the Inquisition. responsibility."
Taking a deep breath, Feeney pulled the trigger.
A bright white light was fired from the muzzle of the gun, and a bullet burning with flames shot into Sophia's chest.
Finny's eyes widened.
There was no bleeding, not a drop of blood, red or green.
Through the holes in the clothes, you can see that there seems to be no wounds on the fair skin.
"This?" Feeney subconsciously glanced at the flintlock gun in his hand.
This was used by the Inquisition when it executed heretics. The bullets were made of high-purity magical crystals and could cause great harm to cultists and heretics.
But why did it fail this time? Obviously this guy is also a heretic.
The habit developed over many years of theological study made Feeney unconsciously fall into thinking.
Then a goldfish wrapped in a ball of water appeared before his eyes.
Feeney was startled, looking around and found that he was already in a pure white world at some point. There was only himself and the goldfish in the water in the whole world.
"So, do you already have the power to open the divine realm?" Feeney's eyes widened and he stretched out his hand to try to touch the water.
As soon as the dead tree-like palm came into contact, it became as smooth as a young man, and slowly developed fine scales. Feeney's eyes widened and he lost his voice: "Is this the power you have?"
"What the hell are you?"
The goldfish in the water ball opened its eyes, and Sophia's voice rang directly in Feeney's mind: "I am the hurricane raging over the sea, I am the turbulent undercurrent in the dark abyss, I am the unparalleled waves on the sea, I It is Him, He is me, I am Poseidon, Miles. Blessed by the waves, may I be the lighthouse in your heart, clearing away the fog and illuminating your confusion."
Along with Sophia's words, countless pictures appeared in Feeney's mind, from the birth of the first life under water, to the first time creatures climbed onto land, to humans once again turning their attention to the ocean. Tens of thousands of years of past turned into blue-white light and poured into Finny's brain, and blue light flashed rapidly in his wide eyes.
"I have awakened. In the foreseeable future, I will once again walk in the world and guide my people to reach the top of the world again."
The prayers of countless Poseidon believers rang in Feeney's ears, ranging from whispers to shouts, from cautious to hoarse. At the same time, there are also the memories, emotions and desires of countless believers. The chaotic and majestic light flow almost breaks away Feini's consciousness.
At this time, Feeney was already in tears, raising his hands in the air and chanting strange syllables.
"Before that, you will become my eyes, my ears, my nose, become my prophet, and control everything in the world for me; you will become my hands, my feet, my mouth, become my Messenger, act on my behalf and send down oracles, gifts and punishments for me.”
The torrent composed of countless consciousnesses is constantly washing away Finny's consciousness. He is like a lonely boat in the storm, being washed away by wind, rain and waves, and may capsize at any time.
"If you can pass my trial, then take my favor and sing praises for my awakening, my prophet, my messenger, my - favored one."
The whole space seemed to be quiet for a moment. Feeney opened his arms, and his eyes with flashing blue light slowly closed. When he opened them again, they had returned to normal.
"The Poseidon is above, and the waves are blessing me." He knelt down and saluted Sophia, who had already stood up. His tone became cold and serious, "I will go through fire and water for you."
After that, he took the initiative to open the cell door and welcomed Sophia out.
The dungeon had been cleared, with no guards or prisoners. Feeney escorted Sophia all the way to the tunnel entrance that Austin had dug previously.
"You stay in Dofrela, and there will be an order given to you later." Sophia's voice sounded directly in Feini's heart.
Feeney's shoulders shook slightly, and he quickly knelt down and bowed deeply to Sophia. He didn't mind at all that the god he believed in left from a hole in the ground.
"No, what did you do to him? This is nonsense." Austin couldn't help but ask. From his perspective, Feeney just stood for a moment, raised his hands, and then made a series of incomprehensible actions.
"There is no mystery. She just poured the extra debris and garbage in her soul into the old man." Mariano explained casually, "She is a fragment of Poseidon's humanity. Even a little scrap is not something a mortal can bear. Yes, if Lao Deng survives, he is lucky, but he will have to give up all his willpower."
"Then he is still alive?" Austin asked suspiciously, "I feel like he has changed before and after."
"It's so annoying, I feel like he's already in the shape of Sophia." Mariano joked.
