Creed of the heavens

Rodrigo also screamed and was sent flying by the shock force, hitting heavily on the walls of the church with exquisite murals.

With the experience from last time, Lu Xiao reserved a small amount of magic power this time to ensure that she would not fall into a state of magic power overdraft.

Rodrigo, who hit his head against the wall, fainted unsurprisingly, and the Pope's staff also fell from his hand.

Walking to Rodrigo and picking up the staff, Lu Xiao embedded the golden apple into the round hole at the top of the staff, and the two were perfectly combined.

Strange energy poured into Lu Xiao's body, which seemed to have inspired his Isu blood to some extent.

"Ezio, Federico, let's go in together."

Beckoning to Brother Auditore, who was poking his head out of the church door, Lu Xiao used the eagle eye technique to find and activate the mechanism, and then took the lead to enter the secret chamber under the Sistine Chapel.

"Let's end all this as soon as possible, and let us witness with our own eyes what treasure is in the secret room."

Chapter 70

Coming to the secret room full of futuristic technology below, Lu Xiao ignored the amazed expressions of Ezio and Federico looking around, went straight to the center of the field, and inserted the pope's staff combined with the golden apple into the keyhole on the ground Inside.

A soft golden light curtain shot out from the head of the staff, shining on a seemingly impenetrable metal wall.

"Boom!"

Amidst the sound of the machine running bang, the wall slowly sank, revealing a dark passage without lighting behind it.

Just this secret room, which is regarded as a holy place by the Catholic Church, is enough to amaze Ezio and Federico. They have never seen such a room made of metal materials.

The secret passage that suddenly appeared in front of them made them even more dumbfounded. Lu Xiao patted their shoulders and encouraged them: "Come with me, the secret that the two organizations have been pursuing for a long time is inside."

Thanks to the energy provided by the golden apple and the pope's staff, the walls with unknown characters engraved on both sides emit strange light intermittently.

Ezio and Federico moved cautiously, and their expressions looked pious and terrified. They seemed to think that the God believed by Catholics was hidden in this secret room.

Lu Xiao rolled her eyes behind the two of them, and pushed them behind with both hands.

"Go in, there is no lord here, or the lord deliberately forged by Catholicism was false from the beginning."

The Isu people, who are recognized as gods by humans, were active around 78000 to 75000 BC, and Jesus Christ, who was shaped by Catholicism, was born in 4 BC. The time is obviously not right.

Lu Xiao dare not pat her chest and say with certainty that Jesus is 100% a man-made fictional god, but he certainly does not have the powerful ability of the pure Isu.

Most of the special abilities he showed to the believers were with the help of Eden artifacts, such as the shroud wrapped around Lu Xiao's right upper arm.

In the deepest part of the secret passage stood four quadrangular metal pillars. When the three of them entered the last real secret room, an ethereal female voice sounded at the right time.

"Welcome, Prophet, you are finally here."

A holographic image similar to Aletheia appeared in front of the three of Lu Xiao. It was a young woman wearing a metal helmet and an ancient Greek-style shawl robe. She was above average in appearance and over 2 meters tall.

The majestic voice with a soft meaning intertwined with the intellectual temperament makes her seem more contactable than Aletheia, who was quite aloof when I first met.

Of course, after being with Aletheia for a long time, Lu Xiao also realized her true nature, at least not as serious and indifferent as she appeared on the outside.

"Come on, let's not waste time."

The woman with energy body stretched out her left hand and looked at the Golden Apple of Eden that Lu Xiao was holding in her hand.

"Father above!"

Ezio took a step back in disbelief: "Are you a god?"

Stretching out her hand to activate the golden apple in Lu Xiao's hand, the eyes of the Isu woman who looked a little dull before became much more active.

"Interesting, the future you experience is roughly consistent with the situation I calculated, but it happens that some slight deviations have occurred in this era."

The woman turned her head to look at Ezio, smiled and answered the question he subconsciously exclaimed before: "I am not a god, we are just the forerunners who came to this world earlier than you. understanding exists."

"My name is Minerva. I was once called the Goddess of Wisdom by you humans. Now what stands in front of you is just a piece of intelligent image I calculated with my eyes and left behind. The real me has long since died."

Minerva's meaningful gaze stayed on Lu Xiao for a moment, and then turned to look at the empty space.

Next, Minerva manipulated the holographic imaging device in the secret room, and intuitively told Ezio and Federico the reason why she left this video, which Lu Xiao had already heard from Aletheia.

The origin of mankind, the war with the Isu, the Toba catastrophe that destroyed the Isumin, and the second coronal ejection that will come sooner or later in the future.

"The message has been delivered."

Minerva's hidden figure reappeared, and her gaze was still looking at the empty space: "We Isu will leave this world soon, and the rest will depend on you, Desmond .”

"what?"

Unlike Lu Xiao who looked calm, Ezio and Federico looked at Minerva who was gradually disappearing in confusion.

"Wait! Who is Desmond? And who is the prophet you speak of, hey! Don't rush away!"

Ezio's call did not receive a response from Minerva, and she gave Lu Xiao one last look before her energy body dissipated, with confusion and expectation in her eyes.

Minerva, who is just an intelligent image, can't be as intelligent and close to the monster as she is, and can't understand how much Lu Xiao's existence and changes in established history will have an impact on the future she calculated before her death.

After Minerva's image disappeared, the secret room returned to calm, leaving only Ezio and Federico with question marks on their heads, and Lu Xiao who bowed his head in thought.

Desmond looking here?From whose perspective?Who is the prophet Minerva speaks of, Ezio?Or me?

I am afraid that even Minerva's intelligent image cannot give definite answers to these questions. Before Lu Xiao witnesses the modern plot with his own eyes, what changes will happen in the future is destined to become an unsolved mystery.

"Come on, we should leave."

Lu Xiao, who came back to his senses, greeted Ezio who was aggrieved and swearing. He couldn't believe that all he had worked so hard to get was just an inexplicable message.

Before leaving the secret room, Lu Xiao tried to recover the pope's staff and golden apples that were the keys to the secret room.

But the mechanism that was automatically triggered suddenly made him only have time to kick the golden apple from the sinking staff, and the entire Pope's staff was buried under the ground and could no longer be touched.

There was another rush of whistles outside the secret room, which meant that the enemy's attack was intensified, and the defense line was going to be unable to hold on.

"Go! Evacuate the Sistine Chapel as soon as possible, and return to the stronghold in Rome separately as planned!"

Lu Xiao ignored Rodrigo who was still unconscious on the ground, and said to the two Auditore brothers who were behind: "I will leave this guy to you, and you can do whatever you want with it!"

When they came to the outside of the church, a large number of paladins from the Holy See were attacking the defense line set up by the elite assassins.

"call out"

As the commander, Lu Xiao whistled, all the assassins threw the lime smoke bombs made by Da Vinci at the enemy at the same time, covered their eyes, mouth and nose and quickly evacuated.

Taking advantage of the smoke in front of the church, Lu Xiao and the other assassins split up and escaped the pursuit of the Holy See soldiers, and came to a tower high in the city of Rome.

Looking out of the city of Rome, the coalition forces led by Lorenzo and others have received the news and began to retreat slowly.
