Light can destroy darkness, or it can conceal it.
The radiance of the Sicily Island sanctuary made everything appear bright and holy. This holy, almost dazzling light engulfed the three figures, just as light swallowed darkness, and darkness devoured light.
Those who remained outside the sanctuary stood quietly on either side of the steps, some with expressions of surprise. Clearly, things shouldn't have turned out this way. As the newly crowned Pope, Alexander should have been bathed in the cheers and received the worship of all the clergy and the congratulations from powerful figures across the continent.
As Sun Fei stepped into the sanctuary, he felt a blur before his eyes, and a sensation of traveling through time washed over him.
What came into view was not the grand hall with its stone pillars and banners adorned with crosses that I had imagined, but a pristine white space. The walls seemed to be carved from the most beautiful and flawless jade, emanating a pure white mist. Apart from that, the surroundings were extremely empty and blank!
Is this the interior of the cathedral?
Sun Fei was a little curious.
"My child, I see an eager yearning for power and a burning ambition in your eyes. Do you really think you are capable of becoming the Pope?"
Stábile turned around and looked at Sun Fei with a strange gaze.
"Really? Why do I feel that you, Stábile, are the one with ambition and a lust for power?" Sun Fei said casually as he curiously looked around the interior of the sanctuary.
"It seems you've already noticed something." Stábile and walked towards the interior of the sanctuary.
Sun Fei followed unhurriedly, nodding and saying, "Of course. You might find it hard to believe, but I recently went to a very beautiful place, only to be surprised to find that it was under attack by the [ Defiler ]. This has left me quite confused. According to your account and evidence, weren't the [ Defiler ] supposed to have been jointly destroyed by the Lord of the God Clan and the Lord of the Demon Clan? Why are they still appearing!"
"Oh, so you're the mysterious guy who ruined the [ Mother Empress's ] plan and wiped out the Scorpio Galaxy's tribal forces. I was wondering who else could kill an entire medium-sized God Clan tribe in one fell swoop."
Stábile with a hint of surprise.
" God Clan tribe?" Sun Fei asked in surprise.
"Yes, the Insect Race like this word, so they use it to refer to themselves." Stábile back and smiled at Sun Fei.
The conversation between the two seemed like a friendly chat between old friends, with smiles on their faces as they spoke. However, in reality, these few words had brought about a dramatic change in their relationship, a truly shocking event. If any of the powerful figures and divine masters waiting outside were present and heard this conversation, they would surely be terrified and faint.
There's just too much information revealed.
That's terrifying!
The most fatal flaw is that Stábile transformed herself.
No longer the frail Old Man who seemed like a gust of wind could blow him over, he now seemed to regain a bit of vitality with each step he took. After walking several dozen steps, his hunched body began to straighten up.
"Calling themselves God Clan? That's hilarious! Are there any God Clan who are this ugly?" Sun Fei laughed heartily.
He wore a crown, held a scepter, and was draped in a royal robe. He laughed loudly, his laughter echoing throughout the sanctuary, filled with disdain and contempt.
Stábile, whose blood was beginning to surge, stopped and turned around, coldly snorting, "Strength is the most beautiful thing in this world. Only weak and pitiful races would measure the level of civilization of a race by its appearance."
"Is that so? And you? Are you Human Clan, or an insect in human skin?" Sun Fei's gaze suddenly turned icy.
"Of course I'm not a pitiful Human Clan." Stábile heartily.
His gaze suddenly turned pale gold, cold and indifferent. His pupils dilated, pupils that were definitely not those of a human being. Thin, dense, red, needle-like Bone Spike pierced through the surface of his skin and stood upright, his fingertips becoming sharp as long knives.
Sun Fei sighed and said, "So, the real Stábile is already dead?"
' Stábile ' nodded. "Do you think it's really that easy to get out of the Earth's Core Prison? Four hundred years ago, after I figured out everything I needed to know, I killed him, took his skin, made it into the best disguise, and became another him!"
"So, his disappearance back then must have been caused by your wickedness. Come, introduce yourself to me, Insect, what's your name!" Sun Fei laughed.
" Di Canio. One of the seventy-two great tribal chiefs of the God Clan, Gera Di Canio."
Sun Fei nodded, then asked curiously, "I see. I'm puzzled. More than a month ago, those red scrolls you took out were clearly filled with the aura of ancient Magic Power, so they shouldn't be fakes. But why did they show the insects being wiped out?"
Di Canio laughed loudly, "Because what you saw was incomplete. Fine, today I'll let you die knowing why."
As he spoke, he took out the red scroll from his pocket, unfurled it, and a red mist shimmered within, revealing a clear image in the empty space.
Sun Fei suddenly realized.
No wonder there was an extremely blurry and discontinuous section in the middle when I watched this footage that day. I originally thought it was due to its age, but now it seems that a section of the footage was deliberately cut out.
The cut scene looked like this--
The white-clad leader of the God Clan gazed up at the disappearing azure wormhole, watching the [ Defiler ] flee in panic from it. He had no strength left to pursue them. He gripped the hand of the Demon Clan lord tightly, looking down upon the vast land of the Azeroth Continent, his eyes filled with longing. He sighed, "Our selfless battle was to buy the continent a thousand-year respite. The [ Mother Empress ] of the Insect Race is severely wounded and may fall into a deep slumber, but she will not die. Our mission is over. The thousand-year stalemate between gods and demons has begun. A thousand years from now, the [ Defiler ] will return with a vengeance, and at the same time, new heroes will be born on the continent to save all living beings!"
Then, what followed was the final admonition from these two greatest beings in the world to the Human Clan in the last moments of their lives!
After reading it, Sun Fei nodded. "I understand. Good tactic. Cutting out this scene misled the entire continent."
Di Canio said, "All I need is time. You are too strong, and I don't have a sure chance of winning, so I can only use this method to delay for a while."
Sun Fei Earth Inquiry, "Time? What do you need time for?"
It's almost over, so updates will be slower as I carefully address any issues that arose before.
