Chapter 356

The 'Holy' Legion was a rather special existence in the Church because its members were not human, but Holy Spirit angels, and the legion commander was a 'Holy' angel.

Of course, many people believed this was a fictional existence, actually being an avatar of some deity. Seraphim Luna also confirmed this statement: "Correct, it is fictional. We three Supreme Holy Spirits take turns whenever we have time."

If the Supreme Holy Spirits were not free, the deputy commander of the Holy Legion was a fourth-tier four-winged angel. Of course, that was under normal circumstances; the current situation was not normal...

Thus, the one leading the team now was a third-tier four-winged angel, plus thirty second-tier two-winged angels. Such a lineup was considered very luxurious for the current Church, showing how much Guli'anni valued Dai Sen.

Thirty-one angels of second-tier or higher, plus those he had planted around Dai Sen, made arresting an archbishop who had betrayed the light an easy task.

Bimansen thought so too. He was the holy knight guiding this Holy Legion. His strength was not high, but he was deeply trusted by Guli'anni, and he positioned himself as the staff officer, or even the true commander, of the Holy Legion.

It was well known that low-tier Holy Spirit angels did not have very flexible minds and could not go on missions alone unless there was truly no other way. If one let them go on missions alone, one had to be prepared for them not to return.

Didn't you see that when Anthony sent one Holy Spirit out, he had to send two Black Knights to follow it and collect its corpse?

Bimansen was a character responsible for guiding the Holy Spirits not to do stupid things. He had no command authority over the Holy Spirits, but he could guide them through indirect means.

This role required a deep understanding of the Holy Scripture and Divine Law, as well as an understanding of the habits of angels. One had to get familiar with them and explain the meaning of orders to them along the way.

For example, to arrest so-and-so, one could not give such an order: Go to such-and-such place, grab such-and-such's hands and feet, and bring him back whole and alive...

If one did not give such detailed orders, what if they ran to another place, grabbed another guy named such-and-such, and brought him back in pieces, with blood and intestines flowing all the way? What then?

It was not excessive worry; they had truly done such things before, so a character who could interpret orders for them was needed.

For Bimansen, this was equivalent to mastering the final right of interpretation. As long as it was within this framework, he could fool these silly Holy Spirits at will.

Therefore, theoretically, he felt that he was the true commander of the Holy Legion.

He went straight to Dai Sen's camp via the teleportation array, flashing the Pope's warrant all the way, and broke into the conference room under the escort of thirty-one Holy Spirit angels.

A knight stood out to block them: "The Archbishop is in a meeting. Please wait a moment; I will go report."

"Hmph, your Archbishop has committed a crime. We are here to arrest him. Move aside!" Bimansen shouted sternly.

After speaking, he turned to the third-tier four-winged angel and said: "Lord Sainuo, if they block us, you may kill."

The third-tier angel named Sainuo immediately drew his sword and slashed down at the head.

The knight panicked and raised his hand shield to block. With a 'clang,' Sainuo's sword struck his hand shield.

The knight felt a joy in his heart: Blocked it? The thought had just arisen when a holy flame erupted from the ground, completely swallowing him.

Others panicked; some drew their swords, some were blocked by companions, and some ran quickly inside.

Dai Sen had operated in the Land of Sinkholes for so long that there were still loyal people. Unfortunately, they were facing Holy Spirit angels.

In the hearts of many pious people, this kind of thing represented justice. The more pious a person was, the less they dared to take action against them.

Back then, Anthony had suppressed the Holy Blade Knights with twelve first-tier angels. Now there were thirty-one here, and one of them was four-winged.

It was difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the tier of an angel by their aura; they could only do so by the number of wings.

First-tier and second-tier both had two wings, so there was no difference to them, but four wings were different—at least third or fourth tier.

Secondly, Guli'anni had planted quite a few people under Dai Sen. These people usually obeyed Dai Sen's orders, but at critical moments, they would not. Not only would they not, but they also stopped others.

Actually, Anthony's subordinates had also had quite a few people planted among them. Now these people were either in the mud of the lotus pond or in the mass grave.

Thirdly, the combat power of thirty-one Holy Spirit angels was very strong, and the loyal ones simply could not block them.

Sainuo took the lead and knocked open the door of the conference room, and a pile of Holy Spirits surged in.

Bimansen was squeezed in the middle of the angels and could not see the situation in the conference room for a moment. He only busied himself with reading the warrant: "Dai Sen, you have committed a crime. You have betrayed the light, your faith is not firm, you have engaged in corruption and bribery, and you have molested women. Now, by the Pope's decree, I have come to arrest you and bring you to justice to accept divine punishment..."

As he read to this point, Bimansen bumped his head into the back of the angel in front. These angels had stopped for some reason.

"Go arrest the person? Why are you stopping?" Bimansen squeezed and squeezed, squeezed out of the pile of angels, and poked his head out to look.

The conference room, which was not very large, was packed full at this moment, all with Holy Spirit angels of second-tier or higher. They were divided into two groups, confronting each other.

Directly opposite Sainuo were two four-winged angels. One of them, who was smaller, was carrying a Great Angel Staff and was puffing up, wanting to rush up, but its collar was being steadily held by a 'human.'

How bold, daring to hold a four-winged angel by the collar? Bimansen's gaze shifted over, saw Ang's face clearly, and his heart was suddenly startled: Ascetic An?

He shifted his gaze to the person smiling at him beside Ang, and his heart was startled again: Anthony?

Bimansen absolutely could not have imagined that Anthony would be here. How dangerous this was! A dignified archbishop going to territory that did not belong to him—how much must he trust Dai Sen?

Was he not afraid this was a trap? That Dai Sen was actually acting with Guli'anni and would blow up the teleportation array the moment he teleported over?

Of course he wasn't worried, because 'Dai Sen' had been swapped.

No matter how much trust there was, a dignified archbishop putting himself in danger was very incredible.

Thinking of this, Bimansen was overjoyed. A good opportunity! If he could kill Anthony here, wouldn't he have performed a super great service?

As long as he did this and that, it could be achieved.

"By the Pope's decree, arrest Dai Sen. I ask all angels to assist." Bimansen held up the warrant and showed it to the two four-winged angels in the front row.

The two four-winged angels turned their heads. One of them looked at him blankly, while the other rolled its eyes and continued to struggle: "Ao!"

Bimansen furrowed his brows. The Pope's warrant could not command these angels?

No fear, no fear. The Pope's warrant could not command these angels, but it could still command the soldiers outside. Once those people planted by His Majesty organized the men, surrounded this place, and then arrested them all in the name of the Pope.

If Ascetic An, Anthony, and Dai Sen were all arrested, the Church's internal troubles would be completely resolved. With his great merit, wouldn't it be no problem to change into an archbishop position?

Just as Bimansen was dreaming, Ang slapped the Little Angel on the head: "Ao!"

"Ao~" The Little Angel stopped struggling and obediently held the Great Angel Staff above its head, handing it to Ang.

Ang grasped the Great Angel Staff, and his palm flickered with holy light.

This flickering frequency was very fast, but there was very little overflow, and there were no light effects. Except for the two who knew the ropes, the others did not realize what Ang was doing.

Anthony and Dai Sen were naturally the ones who knew the ropes. Watching the flickering in Ang's hand, their hearts were shaken so much they were about to jump out.

A flickering frequency of more than a dozen times per second, with control that had absolutely no overflow—all power was poured into the Great Angel Staff, without a bit of waste.

Most light divine arts pursued holiness and radiance, but in fact, they wasted a lot of power. After all, emitting light was also a transformation of energy.

This resulted in at least one-third of a divine art being wasted.

Of course, holy radiance had a stronger infectious power on believers and was more effective at harvesting faith. This was also the main reason why the gods preferred to waste power to make things 'look good.'

Having great strength is not as good as looking good. Gailade's beauty was famous throughout the plane; who still remembered she was a dragon hunter? The kind that could solo a dragon.

Ang's method of directly reducing the 'light' of the holy light demonstrated Ang's powerful control and his ability to define holy light.

As Ang's soul warrior, Anthony was even clearer about the meaning represented by this change. In the past, Ang had always relied on others to define holy light.

The Purification Art was defined by Lisa, the Blemish Removal Art was defined by Lady Katie, and the Rebirth Art was defined by the castrato singer Sanglide. Ang had never defined a new light divine art before.

But now, in Ang's hands, the light divine art could not even emit light.

Ang's divine art could not emit light, but the Great Angel Staff lit up. At the head of the staff, a dazzling radiance illuminated the entire room.

The Little Angel excitedly took it, swung the Great Angel Staff, and spread its four wings behind it...

No, not four wings. When the radiance on the Little Angel and the radiance of the Great Angel Staff merged into one, the fifth and sixth light wings slowly condensed and appeared.

A six-winged Great Angel, a Supreme Holy Spirit!

Bimansen's eyes were about to burst. Strengthening a four-winged angel into a six-winged Great Angel? It could be done like this? How could this be? What is this Ascetic An? A god?

This could not be allowed. Once a Great Angel appeared, the soldiers outside would never dare to surround this place. It could not be allowed to show its face.

Thinking of this, Bimansen shouted sternly: "She is impersonating a Supreme Holy Spirit! Sainuo! Kill her! Kill her!"

There were only three Supreme Holy Spirits: the Cherub, the Seraph, and the Power Angel. The one before him was strengthened and was fake.

Sainuo spread his wings with a 'swish.'

Bimansen sighed in relief. He had been worried that Sainuo would not dare to take action against a six-winged Great Angel. Thank goodness, thank goodness...

Just as he thought this, he suddenly felt a void in front of him. Led by Sainuo, all the Holy Spirit angels he brought knelt on one knee, respectfully lowering their heads, highlighting him as the only one still standing.

Bimansen cursed wildly in his heart: You spread your wings not to take action, but to kneel? Ku Ba Da, you should have said so earlier! Everyone kneel together!

Bimansen's legs went soft, and he fell to his knees with a 'thump,' cold sweat pouring down.

The Little Angel swung the staff and was just about to knock it down when it saw this scene and was also stunned.

"Ao?" It looked back at Ang in confusion.

"Ao," Ang responded.

The Little Angel scratched its head blankly and hugged the Great Angel Staff back to its chest. Enemies were easy to handle; a blast of holy light would do. But what about this kind?

Anthony hurriedly stood out: "Just let them kneel. Keep them kneeling and don't move."

"Ao!" The Little Angel immediately roared at Sainuo and the others.

Then Anthony walked over, pulled Bimansen out, tied him up, and gagged him. Then he had the Little Angel command Sainuo alone, telling it to walk over.

Then, Anthony began to mutter into Sainuo's ear.

Naigelis and Du Luo Ken, who were projected onto Ang, could hardly hold back from jumping out: "What is the situation? What is going on? How is this? Why did the four-winged angel on the other side kneel?"

"It seems to be tier suppression. A fifth-tier Supreme Holy Spirit has tier suppression over these ordinary Holy Spirits," Du Luo Ken said.

"Ku Ba Da, then call Seraphim Luna over. Wouldn't those Holy Spirit angels of the Church be useless? Seraphim Luna has also seen the Little Angel; why didn't she see it suppressing the Little Angel?"

"Ku Ba Da, this Little Angel of yours is almost suppressing Ang himself, and you talk about tier suppression!!!" Du Luo Ken roared.

"That's true. No wonder Ang didn't give it buffs before. It turns out the buffs of the Great Angel Staff can strengthen its tier. A six-winged Great Angel—this is the fourth six-winged Great Angel, right?" Naigelis said.

Du Luo Ken's tone was strange: "Can this six-winged Great Angel be considered raised by Ang? Did he also do the work of the light gods?"

"Can't he? He has the Ring of the Scales," Naigelis said righteously.

Although he did not have the divine personality of the God of the Scales, the Ring of the Scales was already enough to bluff people. Showing it could bluff quite a few people.

Over here, Anthony's muttering to Sainuo was also coming to an end. One of Anthony's hands was pressed on Sainuo's temple, while the other hand covered it, his mouth pressed to his ear, looking just like he was whispering.

If not for the fact that the fingers on the temple were glowing with holy light, but were covered by the other hand...

Sainuo's eyes became blank, then confused, then struggling, and finally regained clarity.

Anthony finally whispered: "Guli'anni has defected to an evil god and sent you to attack the Supreme Holy Spirit and the Ascetic. It is a heinous crime. He deceived you. Follow the Supreme Holy Spirit and go arrest Guli'anni."

"Yes!" Sainuo responded.

Done. Anthony had done the work of brainwashing silly Holy Spirit angels countless times; it was not a difficult task. Under the Little Angel's tier suppression, Sainuo did not have much resistance.

The noise outside was becoming increasingly chaotic, and one could faintly feel the ground vibrating—that was the movement caused by the mobilization of a large army.

A cry came from afar: "Archbishop, Podosha and Keli are actually the Pope's men. They took out the Pope's warrant to take over the army, and now they are surrounding this place with magic crystal cannons. Bishop, run quickly."

"What are you panicking about!" Dai Sen scolded calmly and walked out first. Just as he stepped out of the room, he remembered something, turned back, and said with a bow and scrape: "My lord, please."
