Doomsday Code

Chapter 880 Blasphemy

Not long after the three of them returned to the courtyard, Chen Cheng heard a commotion coming from the courtyard next door where the church elders lived.

Although he had only been here for less than a day, Chen Cheng noticed that the church members living next door were very secluded. Apart from the two morning and evening services, the only other thing they did was for the servants from Baiya Residence to bring them meals.

The sudden commotion today made Chen Cheng somewhat alert.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard where the church and others were staying, Sgart was wearing a suit of divine armor and had a sword at his waist. The aura he exuded was completely different from that of the little guard captain who used to follow Jamil.

As Jamil's chief knight, he was originally supposed to be punished along with Jamil, but Azkaban became a divine messenger and was exempted from punishment.

Sgarth was also discovered to have divinity by the Fazun who arrested Jamil at the time. So after Jamil's defection, he was not only not affected by Jamil, but also became a key talent cultivated by the church.

"Now that our master has appeared, we must follow in his footsteps and spread the light of God on this land."

Sgarter looked solemnly at one of the church elders who had come with him.

Elder Keqin glanced at Sigelt, then spoke:

"Sir Sir Scott, watch your words. Jamil is now the greatest heretic and traitor. He has no connection with the Church anymore, so he will no longer be your teacher."

Our purpose in seeking out the Divine Messenger is not to hinder his spread of divine teachings, but simply to find a way to track down the heretic Jamil.

After all, the divine messenger had taught him before, and they shared a divine power link.

The divine power link that Keqin mentioned is a constraint imposed on the church, which relies on the power of faith to enhance its strength.

Because they are members of the church, the faith they receive belongs to God, but God bestows it upon the Pope or His messengers through blessings and other means.

The Pope and his messengers would then link this power with their bishops or elders through a special pantheon of faith.

Then they were given power.

The power of the Church is passed down layer by layer, down to the lowest-ranking monks and nuns.

Jamil was previously Azkaban's student and subordinate, so he would naturally have a special divine power connection with Jamil.

Normally, the church would not allow a clergyman to reveal his divine connection, because this divine connection is not only a link of power, but also a channel for a servant of God to receive divine revelation or pray to God.

To attempt to access this special spiritual channel would be blasphemous within the church.

Therefore, even though Jamil had killed Elder Fazun and fled, the Church had never considered using this method.

However, the Pope has now received divine revelation and knows that the Church's greatest heretical enemy is Jamil, which is why he has sent his most trusted confidant to the North to find Azkaban.

After listening to Elder Keqin's words, Sigelt shook his head and said:

“I will not condone such blasphemous behavior. Don’t forget that Azkaban is now the messenger of the North, and his spirit is always with our god.”

When Schipper said this, everyone present fell silent.

Although the leader of the team, Keqin, is a permanent elder of the church's Presbyterian Council and a top figure of real power within the church.

But this real power is just a division within the church; the gods don't care about these things.

If it were just an ordinary elder or bishop, such blasphemous behavior, with the Pope's consent, might not have much consequence.

But to commit such blasphemous acts against a divine messenger who was on par with the Pope, no one knew if God would be angered. Then, a bolt of lightning struck the blasphemer and reduced him to ashes.

For them, death was not frightening; what was frightening was being abandoned by the god they believed in because of blasphemy.

While everyone was silent, Sgart looked at them, then sighed and said:

“I will ask my master personally, but I think Jamil has probably already severed ties with him, just like he did with me.”

After saying this, Schipper got up and went back to his room.

Keqin and the others watched his departing figure without uttering a word.

"Elder Keqin."

Keqin waved his hand and said:

“Let’s do as Sir Skarrt says. It is our business to investigate heresy, so why should we disturb our gods?”

It was clear that Keqin was also afraid.

After Keqin finished speaking, she also went back to her room.

Seeing this, the others breathed a sigh of relief, but also shook their heads and dispersed.

Chen Cheng, who had been eavesdropping by the wall, also withdrew his ears at this moment.

He never expected that this group of people came to the North to find that divine messenger, but actually to investigate Jamil's whereabouts.

Fortunately, that kid Scout hasn't forgotten his roots and still remembers Jamil's help to him back then.

Chen Cheng rubbed his chin, wondering if he could get involved and perhaps help Jamil bring his master, the Northern Divine Envoy, over.

Chen Cheng is no longer someone who knows nothing. The divine faith that Jamil mentioned before clearly shows that he truly believes in himself.

After all, he had completed a sequence of ascension to godhood. Although he didn't know what divine position he held, he was at least a god now.

Furthermore, recently, when Chen Cheng focused his mind on sleeping at night, he saw wisps of mist floating in the void where his consciousness resided, and then these wisps of mist were absorbed and transformed by his lower dantian golden core.

Although the amount was small, judging from the fact that it could enhance his strength, this might be the power of faith that Squidward was talking about.

Although Chen Cheng had no intention of developing any believers or faith, he didn't necessarily need any faith to enhance his strength.

But since it meant he could gain benefits without exposing himself and also annoy the church, he was still very willing to do it.

"What are you eavesdropping on? Why are you laughing so lewdly?"

Snow Maiden patted Chen Cheng on the back and asked.

Chen Cheng was startled by the pat from behind by the Snow Maiden, then glared at her and said:

"Don't you know you shouldn't disturb someone when they're thinking seriously? It's easy to scare them away."

The Snow Woman, not one to back down, glared back and said irritably:

"Seeing the lewd look on your face when you were laughing here just now, who knows what dirty things you were thinking? Besides, I'm the only virgin here, eh~"

The snow woman couldn't help but shudder at the thought.

Seeing her like this, Chen Cheng really wanted to crack open her head and see what kind of filthy thoughts she was having all day long.
