The Lance of Longinus

"Go have some fun, it's a token of our appreciation," Ling Yuan said with a smile.

He was also eager to see the legendary underwater city of Atlantis.

Moreover, the god Poseidon he killed seems to be a god of Atlantis, right?

Just consider it a visit to what used to be "home".

"Yay!" Xiao Shi cheered.

"How could David even get into Atlantis? What was he thinking?" Xi Zhiyuan frowned.

Atlantis is the Eden in the Bible.

It can be considered a sacred site of the Vatican.

They actually allowed outsiders in?

Chapter 256 The Spear of Longinus

After confirming the details, the group arrived at the Vatican's teleportation plaza.

That is, St. Peter's Square.

Here, there is something that resembles an altar, with crescent-shaped outlines on both sides, Finality at a flat surface like ripples on water.

Apart from two paladins guarding the area, there were no other security forces around.

After exchanging glances with the others, Ling Yuan slowly walked towards the Teleportation Array.

Using Teleportation Array requires a teleportation ticket, which is issued by the government and contains pre-set coordinates. Simply carry the ticket into the Teleportation Array to be teleported to the designated location.

After Ling Yuan and the others presented their teleportation tickets, the guarding paladins allowed them to pass.

Buzz~

Suddenly

A blue light fell from the sky.

"This is?!"

The paladin who had been allowed to pass earlier suddenly narrowed his eyes.

The light disappeared after about five seconds.

Stay where you are

The group disappeared from the spot where the people stood, stunned.

"That teleportation ticket..." one paladin looked at another paladin.

The other paladin regained his composure. "Don't say anything more, just do your job."

Atlantis

It is a legendary ancient civilization.

It is said to have been destroyed by a prehistoric flood around 10,000 BC.

However, as the spiritual energy awakens, the once-dormant ocean palace is also restored.

According to legend, this was a city ruled by Poseidon, the god of the sea, and the successor to the Garden of Eden.

However, when the Greek gods mentioned Atlantis, Poseidon himself did not appear or take over the city.

Instead, it became a restricted area under the Vatican's control.

10,000 meters below the sea

A beautiful ocean city stands quietly there.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly

A blue light fell from the sky.

The garrison troops stationed there all showed signs of vigilance.

When the light faded, eight figures were revealed.

Ranran took out the cross from her hand.

Upon seeing the transparent cross, the guards immediately showed respect, then lined up neatly and made way for them.

How did you know it was this cross?

"Because this is the only thing Uncle David gave me, I suppose it's also a pass," Xia Ranran said with a playful smile.

"My Ranran is so smart." Ling Yuan smiled and rubbed Ranran's head.

Wang Ming: "..."

"Um, Miss tide."

"Um?"

"Um, are you tired? Do you want me to carry you?"

Xi Zhiyuan: "..."

After a moment of silence, Xi Zhiyuan gave an awkward but polite smile, "Thank you, but I'm not tired yet."

After saying that, he took a few steps forward and moved closer to Xiao Shi.

I had some reservations in my heart.

How could she possibly be tired when she, a dignified Heavenly Emperor, could run ten times around the Earth without even breaking a sweat?

Upon first Atlantis, one is struck by a sense of sacredness.

But mostly it was cold and damp, like the air from the seabed.

The surrounding walls were ancient and simple, almost identical to the Atlantis described in my previous life. (Go search for pictures yourself.)

Suddenly

The transparent cross in Xia Ranran's hand began to glow.

Ranran was taken aback, let go of her hand, and the cross slowly floated up.

Finally, it transformed into a streak of light and flew swiftly towards the palace at the top.

The others exchanged glances.

Ling Yuan picked up Sakuya, Xiao Shi picked up Kallen.

The group leaped forward and followed.

At the same time

The guards who had been stationed at the entrance exchanged glances.

The entire Atlantis emitted a blue light.

Blue light illuminated the dark sea.

Blue crystals appeared around Atlantis, eventually forming a huge semi-circular shield that enveloped the entire Atlantis.

At this point, Atlantis was locked down!

And here

Following the guidance of the cross, Ling Yuan and his companions arrived at the Ocean Temple at the very top.

Before anyone could react, the cross was affixed directly to the heavy door.

A blue streak of light, like ripples, flashed by.

Squeak~

The heavy sound of the door opening rang out.

The massive stone gate opened, revealing the azure interior of the palace.

"What exactly does Uncle David want to do?"

Looking at everything around her, Xia Ranran murmured.

Xi Zhiyuan paused upon entering the temple, looking around and frowning.

"What's wrong?"

Noticing the anomaly, Wang Ming asked.

"This place is very strange."

"Indeed, if it's a forbidden area, why are there only a few guards?" Ling Yuan asked.

In his perception, the total number of people in Atlantis was no more than one hundred. Although this was a forbidden area of Vatican, Atlantis was not small, and the number of guards required should not be so small.

"Brother, look at that!"

At this moment, Sakuya, who was in Ling Yuan's arms, spoke.

Following the direction Sakuya pointed, everyone's pupils constricted.

There, an ancient silver spear lay silently in the ground, radiating a pure white light.

"The Spear of Longinus ..." Xi Zhiyuan's pupils contracted, and she subconsciously called out the name of the spear.

"The Spear of Longinus?" Wang Ming was taken aback, then frowned. "If I remember correctly, this spear was used by a man Longinus to pierce Jesus, right? But how could a soldier's spear look like this?"

It's entirely silver-white, made of silver and gold—how could it possibly be a weapon that soldiers could carry?

"It's been reforged."

"After the arrival of the Holy Lance in Heaven, Pope Constantine gave it to the angels in the name of returning it."

"However, after Jesus saw the spear stained with his holy blood, he forged it again and returned it to the Church. Since then, the spear has been carried by Pope Constantin to suppress the demons of the West," Xi Zhiyuan explained slowly.

"However, after Pope Constantin died after the first invasion of the Demon Realm, this gun never appeared again."

"I always thought this gun perished along with the Domain Demon, but I never expected it to be stored in Atlantis."

"Domain Demon, Tian Feng Mountain...?" Ling Yuan murmured softly.

He had been to Tian Feng Mountain before, but only from the outside.

The world's six top combat forces are all internally restraining that so-called Primal God, and it's unclear how things are going.

I am David, David G. Sleiner.

Eighteen years ago, I was just an ordinary student at Ethiopia University.

Because of my excellent academic performance, I went to Flame Nation, one of the world's top powers, for further studies during my freshman year of college.

At that time, I was just an ordinary believer, receiving the protection of the Seraphim for the first time.

They can use simple divine spells.

It was a test, but it also led me to meet two of the most important friends in my life...

David stopped and stared blankly at the door in front of him.

Squeak~

The door opened, revealing a white light.

When the door is fully open

A group of elderly men dressed in white robes watched him quietly.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have already surrendered under such pressure.

"David Catholicism, before that, I need you to explain why we should allow people from Flame Nation to enter Atlantis."

An elderly man took a step forward.

The moment he spoke, an extremely terrifying pressure enveloped David.

Under this oppressive force powerful enough to crush an ordinary person into mincemeat, David's lips curled into a disdainful smirk. "Heh."

"Because... I'm willing!"
