Chapter 116: First Pope

Wu Pifu frowned.

It felt too cumbersome.

It wasn't heavy, but the size seemed too big?

Wu Pifu looked behind him at a twisted ball of flesh, with a human head, long arms and legs, a torso, tied into a bow, and long arms and legs plus a long neck, binding a meatball that had its wings broken, was beaten all over, but was still alive. On the surface of the meatball, a human head was looking at everything around with a confused gaze.

The entire meatball was about two and a half meters in diameter. Although not heavy, it was indeed very cumbersome.

Wu Pifu put the whole meatball down from his back, then looked at it left and right, frowning and thinking.

Mary wanted to speak but stopped. Xia Luote said with an extremely pained expression: "Hero, really don't... torment them anymore. Give them a swift end!"

Wu Pifu said dissatisfiedly: "What are you talking about? They are monsters, they don't have true sentience, and even this wisdom is actually fake. And they don't know pain; they are actually just lumps of meat."

Xia Luote and Mary looked at the bird-bodied, horse-bodied, human-headed monster silently shedding tears, and the constantly twitching Puppeteer head, and they couldn't speak.

Suddenly, the human head on the bird-bodied horse body screamed in pain. Wu Pifu was holding two bloody giant wings in his hand, and he tore these two wings off alive. Immediately after, these two wings turned into flying ash and disappeared.

"What a pity, can't turn into meat..."

Wu Pifu said regretfully.

Xia Luote and Mary trembled.

Wu Pifu was unaware, still muttering to himself: "This Puppeteer has at least 300 years of cultivation, and this human-headed bird-horse probably has 200 years of cultivation... What a pity."

In Wu Pifu's combat sense, the Puppeteer was actually just full of fancy tricks. In terms of real strength, it was actually not as good as the 300-year-old wild boar giant demon, at least slightly worse. And this human-headed bird-horse was much worse than the wild boar giant demon.

Xia Luote suppressed the chill in his heart and said: "This is a Hippogriff, a kind of mythological life. It's also a commander of the Corridor District..."

Then he couldn't speak, only able to watch Wu Pifu tear at the Hippogriff, tearing off all its "excess" things.

Although it was still a meatball, it did look much "fresher."

Wu Pifu carried this meatball on his back again and strode forward.

Xia Luote and Mary wiped the cold sweat from their heads and bodies and continued to follow behind.

Nothing happened that day, except for scaring away hundreds of monsters, killing two elite monsters in the Reception Hall, and finding a Return Room...

"...The above is all the facts I personally experienced."

Xia Luote stood solemnly with his hands behind his back.

In front of him were more than a dozen old men wearing bishop and archbishop robes, and seven light clusters floating in mid-air, each with snow-white wings emerging from the light.

Holy See Supreme Hall Joint Meeting.

Xia Luote was not qualified to attend a meeting of this level, but this time when he returned to the real world through the Return Room, he actually received a notice from the Holy See's high-level officials, allowing him to attend this meeting. And everything asked at the meeting was about the hero he and Mary were following.

Yes, there were Holy See personnel in Hao Cheng's team, and some of them had eras close to his, or were personnel from the same era. They returned to the real world first, so as soon as he returned, he was immediately questioned by the high-level officials.

One of the archbishops reached out and pointed, and a light map immediately appeared in mid-air.

"You have already gone to the Demon Castle Reception Hall? What is the specific location?" the archbishop asked.

Xia Luote identified the map orientation, then with a thought, a white light spot appeared at the Reception Hall.

The bishops and archbishops watched silently. At this time, one of the light clusters said in an ethereal voice: "Display the locations of all commanders."

In Xia Luote's surprised gaze, more than a dozen black light spots appeared on the map. Except for the two darkest and largest light spots at the top of the Demon Castle, the other light spots actually gathered at the Library District, Sewer District, Reception Hall District, and Arena District, and were moving toward the Reception Hall District.

The seven light clusters made similar ethereal sounds simultaneously: "The Giant of the End has ascended to the end of the Age of Gods, and the gods are falling one by one. We don't have much time..."

"But the Demon Castle is also unreliable. The process of Chaos turning into the Demon Castle is difficult to understand, and there are mysteries we cannot understand in it. This is also a huge disaster."

"So besides obtaining the Demon King status of the Demon Castle, we also need a backup plan!"

"Go, Xia Luote, guide this alien who can erase Chaos to the Graveyard District. Take him to the Forgotten Hall of Light. The strongest Pope of all generations will merge with him and become the Container of God..."

"Go!"

Xia Luote opened his eyes with a heavy heart and a confused mind, seeing Wu Pifu and Mary standing in front.

He had returned to the real world for six months, seen his wife and children, rested his body and mind, confirmed that his wife and children indeed had fertile fields and the monthly tribute from the Holy See, and now had no worries, so he returned to the Demon Castle.

Wu Pifu nodded to Xia Luote and turned to walk out of the Return Room. Xia Luote and Mary followed immediately. Mary asked as she walked: "What happened in the real world? Your face is so heavy."

Xia Luote shook his head and just asked: "Do you know... what the Hall of Light is?"

Mary was different from Xia Luote. She was a direct disciple of the Holy See, while Xia Luote was actually considered a mercenary. She knew many secrets of the Holy See that Xia Luote didn't know.

Mary nodded and said: "Hmm, I know. It's a very ancient term. It was the cultivation hall of the first Pope when the AD era began. Because the light reached the sky and the earth, it was also called the Hall of Light. But from the second Pope onwards, it didn't have such great power, so it was changed to the Pope's Hall. Later, the Pope's Hall also existed as a department, no longer just a location."

Xia Luote recalled the instructions given to him by the archbishop and the seven angels before he returned to the Demon Castle. They told Xia Luote not to hide anything from Wu Pifu and to tell him the truth.

Xia Luote said to Wu Pifu in front: "Hero, this time returning to the real world, the Holy See gave me an order."

Wu Pifu had long discovered that Xia Luote was a bit absent-minded. He nodded as he walked to indicate he understood.

Xia Luote said: "Hero, the high-level officials of the Holy See asked me and Mary to accompany you into the Graveyard District, and then take you into the Forgotten Hall of Light, saying that the strongest Pope of all generations will be waiting for you there and will merge with you, becoming the Container of God."

Hearing this, Mary exclaimed "Ah."

Wu Pifu said without looking back: "Telling me so clearly? Proving this isn't some conspiracy?"

!

Xia Luote shook his head, looking confused: "I'm also very strange, but those old things in the Holy See told me to tell the truth and said this is definitely not a conspiracy."

Wu Pifu nodded and asked again: "What is the Container of God?"

Xia Luote didn't know either and could only look at Mary. Mary immediately said: "It is said that the first Pope possessed special great power and could attract the power of gods. He could erase Chaos and was the only person in the world who could completely erase Chaos. It is recorded in the Dark Canon that only gods can erase Chaos, and the first Pope was the Container of God, who could attract divine power."

"Container, heh."

Wu Pifu was noncommittal. He said as he walked: "Since it's not a conspiracy, I won't say much more. As for becoming a container or something, don't mention it again."

Xia Luote and Mary naturally stopped talking.

They also felt in their hearts that the high-level officials of the Holy See were idiots. It wasn't a conspiracy, yet they wanted to make someone a container... Just hearing the word "container," could it be anything good?

At this time, Xia Luote said again: "By the way, Hero, there is one more thing you need to pay attention to. This time returning to the real world, the Holy See has learned that all the commanders of the major areas in the Demon Castle are coming to the Reception Hall. Except for the Demon King, the Dark Archmage, and the Reaper, all other commanders have come. The Holy See suspects that their target is you!"

Wu Pifu frowned and asked in confusion: "No, is my title so attractive to hatred? Or is it because I won the battle against the Puppeteer and this Hippogriff?"

Xia Luote said: "No, there are also fights between the commanders of the Demon Castle. They are all monsters and only obey the Demon King. And the Demon King doesn't care about these at all. So the gathering of these commanders is very difficult to understand. The high-level officials of the Holy See suspect that this may have something to do with your essence. Like the first Pope, you can also erase Chaos."

"You mean this?"

Wu Pifu's heart moved, and the "Sleepless Spiritual Light" manifested from his sea of consciousness, and the light immediately sprinkled around.

Bathed in this light, Xia Luote and Mary felt relaxed, and bursts of black energy rose from their bodies, dissipating in the light. Both of them immediately felt as if their bodies and minds had been cleansed.

"This is!?"

"Light? Holy Light? No, the power of God!?"

Xia Luote and Mary were shocked. Mary closed her eyes to feel it, and after a moment, she said in disbelief: "Although this light is profound, its effect is only purification and suppression of negative energy. But why can it even eliminate pollution!? Incredible, truly incredible!"

Wu Pifu took back the Sleepless Spiritual Light and continued to walk forward without a word.

He probably knew why the Sleepless Spiritual Light could eliminate pollution.

This was not the effect of the Sleepless Spiritual Light itself, because in the Main Brain's description of the Sleepless Spiritual Light, it was indeed only for suppressing negative energy and absorbing his heart's negative energy as fuel, and did not describe the characteristic of eradicating and purifying pollution.

(It's the Main Brain's judgment that is taking effect!)

Wu Pifu had this realization.

The Sleepless Spiritual Light is a skill judged by the Main Brain, so when it shines on pollution, it can purify and eliminate pollution. This is actually not a characteristic of the Sleepless Spiritual Light itself, but the "judgment" of the Main Brain taking effect.

The Main Brain can completely eliminate pollution. He had known this for a long time. When the "Sound-Hearing Body" controlled by the Wusheng Old Mother entered Gaia, it was judged by the Main Brain and immediately turned into a mortal object, disconnecting the link with the Wusheng Old Mother.

Similarly, in this Demon Castle, Gaia maintenance workers like Hao Cheng established architectural shelters and became the only safe zones in the Demon Castle that could isolate Chaos pollution, and even made a fortune by speculating on land because of this. This is also the reason.

It is not that their cultivation methods or individuals are strange, but...

The Main Brain can purify and eliminate Chaos pollution!

"So... that first Pope, could it be..."
