Throne of Radiance

What, what!

At this moment, Fina's mind went blank.

The dark blue eyes were fixed on her dazed face, and the other party's voice was low, but it seemed to have the power to seduce people's hearts.

"You know that? If you want to achieve your goal, under the current circumstances, becoming the empress is the best choice. You can unite all forces that are in line with your goal."

"Otherwise, what's the point of just killing some of the opposition?"

She immediately understood the meaning of the other party's words.

Even though the royal family of the Morningstar Empire was far less powerful than it was hundreds of years ago, the old emperor who had sat on the emperor's throne for so many years was obviously not that easy to deal with.

What's more, there are other diehards. Even if the Shadow Parliament wipes out all the diehards, their power will not disappear. Instead, they may seek refuge with the last diehard, the emperor himself, and make the old emperor himself stronger.

Even if they worked hard to settle the old emperor, how much would the empire itself lose in this internal struggle?Most importantly, how much time will this process delay?

Whether it is the loss of national strength or the wasted time, they are extremely precious and may affect the lives of tens of thousands of people in the future.

Therefore, the idea of ​​the Shadow Council is very clear——

Since political means are time-consuming and labor-intensive, it is better to use simpler and cruder means to directly solve the root of the problem.

—Let the throne be replaced by someone else.

But the emperor himself did not intend to abdicate. If other people were mobilized to make the emperor abdicate, not only would it be extremely difficult, but it would also take time and effort to achieve the goal, and it would be even more difficult than calming down the emperor so that he would no longer hinder them.Because the latter only took away his power temporarily, and the former even wanted to take away the throne.

This will undoubtedly make the old emperor desperate at all costs.

The Shadow Council obviously doesn't mean that, and it can't play such a high-end political operation, especially the killer in front of him, just think about the great achievements of the other party...

"As long as the emperor dies, you won't be able to defeat your brothers and sisters in the competition for heirs, right?"

No, of course not.

Fina answered in her heart.

She already has a group of like-minded collaborators, and now she has the support of Muller and others. She undoubtedly has a great advantage.At least in dealing with Guixu, their goals are the same.

But the premise of everything is the death of her father.

——Can she really make such a choice?

"So, are you going to be queen?"

K asked again.

In Fina's ears, it was directly translated as "Do you want me to kill your father?".

She was deeply afraid that the other party would act in the next second, and then tell her lightly: "Your father is gone."

Fina hurriedly said: "I want to try to convince my father."

"The Shadow Council must have known about the news of returning to the ruins, right? I'm going to tell him everything and convince him..."

If the final result is still not smooth...

If the other party must stand on the opposite side...

Fina didn't think about it any more, nor did she want to think about it.

"Many things are not until the last moment, and it is difficult to make a decision. Many things have not reached the last moment, but the heart has already made a decision. This is human nature!"

In the towering church, sunlight shines in through the colorful glass of the dome, shining on the face of the old man like a rainbow.

The huge emblem of the sun god bloomed on the wall, like a burning sun disc, filling his field of vision.

Anosi quietly looked up at the statue of the sun god.Since he was a child, he had stood under this god statue countless times, prayed to God, and offered his most devout beliefs, but he never got a response.

After returning from the nightmare world, he had been standing here for an hour.

"Anosi."

Someone entered the church and stopped beside him.That is his good friend since childhood, and now the Pope of the Temple of the Sun.

"I thought I would never have the chance to see you here again."

The Pope of the Sun Temple set his sights on this old friend.The other party was not wearing the bishop's robe of the Temple of the Sun: "Or should I call you—the founder and current Pope of the Candlelight, Samuel?"

"Anything is fine." Anosi did not deny it.

The Candlelight Society originally developed from the Holy Federation. In the beginning, it was the many cults he merged. With the control of the Holy Federation by the Temple of the Sun, it is impossible for the Pope to be ignorant and just let it go.

Today's Candlelight Festival can develop and grow. Although Anosi himself is extraordinary, he has to admit that he has some affection for this friend.

The other party acquiesced to his development and still retained his bishop status.He was even allowed to attend the joint meeting last time.There is a tacit understanding between them.

These two people, one is the former archbishop in red clothes of the Sun Temple, and the other is the current Pope. Who would have thought that they are the most indifferent people in the Sun Temple.

To be more precise, the Pope himself only regards the Temple of the Sun as a tool to govern the Holy Federation, and does not really believe in God.And Anosi used to be a fanatical believer in the sun god.

However, this faith was not gifted.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Anosi took off the mask on his face, revealing a face much younger than before under the growth of extraordinary power, only a little silver in the hair, revealing his age.

"I've often thought about it over the years..."

He quietly stared at the sun god statue he had seen countless times.

"Back when I proclaimed His blessings and blessings at the Sun God ceremony and sang His grace with all the beautiful words, how did my wife, daughter, and parents... struggle and howl in the sea of ​​fire, but were delayed? Can't wait for help..."

"Did they hate me at that time?"

"Resent me for throwing all my enthusiasm into the gods, attracting people from all over the city to participate in the festival, but leaving my sick daughter and those who take care of her at home, leaving them with nowhere to ask for help..."

"The gods I believe in didn't save them."

His breathing fluctuated violently, his originally straight waist hunched in pain, and finally he knelt down heavily on the ground, under his drooping head, the floor was wet with water.

"The sun god never existed."

The Pope of the Temple of the Sun uttered what could be called blasphemy.

"Your accusation against the sun god is just to vent your anger."

He knew the psychology of this friend all too well.

Regretting that I shouldn't be so fanatical in believing in the Sun God, regretting that I shouldn't have presided over the ceremony that day, if I stayed at home, would I have a chance to save everything... Day after day, these thoughts eventually turned into hatred and hatred towards myself. The hate of the gods.

——The omnipotent god of the sun, why didn't he bless them?Why can't a pious and fanatical believer be redeemed?

——It must be because the sun god is too incompetent!If he believed in a real god, he would definitely be able to obtain salvation!

Sure enough, the person kneeling on the ground said hoarsely: "It's okay, I have now found a true god worthy of belief..."

"He will definitely, definitely fulfill my wish!"

The pope let out a very soft sigh.As an insider, he naturally knew how crazy and persistent the other party was.

But the reality is just a joke...

He stared at the people on the ground. Although the other party had unimaginable power for ordinary people, they were like stray dogs wandering the streets.

"Why, why is there a Return to the Ruins!"

The people on the ground were almost huddled together, his fist hit the ground heavily, and the flowing blood mixed with the water.

The truth revealed by the nightmare world is too cruel.

The belief in the past has collapsed, and now the Flower Whisperer he believes in is impossible to give him an answer, even though he believes that the Flower Whisperer will realize his wish sooner or later, but there is not enough time...

"All my efforts so far have been aimed at bringing them back to the world, but the world is about to be destroyed. What's the point of all this? What's the point!"

He punched the ground heavily, punch after punch, venting his broken heart as if he had lost his sense of pain.

A hand suddenly pressed his shoulder.

The Pope of the Sun Temple leaned down and stared at his hysterical friend: "The meaning is that once the world is destroyed, they will not even have the possibility of resurrection."

"And to stop all of this, you can still keep this possibility."

The church fell into silence again.

After a long time, the people on the ground slowly stood up like puppets whose joints had not been moved for a long time. Anosi gently straightened the folds of his robe, as if the madness just now was just an illusion.

"You're right, Diego."

He smiled at his friend, the madness and persistence of never accepting fate burned in his pupils again.

"It's not time to despair yet. They will be disappointed in me if they know that I've just given up like this."

"...I want to preserve the possibility of the future for them."

I will do my best to make this possible.

"In that case, let's work together. The Holy Federation will never give up hope just because of this."

The Pope of the Sun Temple also smiled.

"From ancient times to the present, human beings have overcome so many disasters, and now is not the time to admit defeat."

"What's more, there is that mysterious White King, the god you believe in, who has extraordinary power like a god..."

Especially the mysterious "White King"...

It can draw so many people into the nightmare world, and according to the information exchanged by the detective department, the other party has been maintaining the order and rules of this world, and it is a god-like existence.Presumably, he wouldn't let this world be destroyed so easily, would he?

He would never allow the Holy Federation to be destroyed so easily—as the Pope of the Sun Temple, even if he had never believed in the Sun God, he had the responsibility to save the lives of every believer.

But the experience of the nightmare world told him that even if he struggled hard, he could not resist the power of Guixu. If he wanted to save the people of the Holy Federation, he had to pin his hope on a stronger existence.

"I've never believed in God. This time, I'm willing to believe for once."
