Chapter 42
The Master of the Divine Age, Better Safe Than Sorry

【Ding dong! Congratulations, host, on obtaining the position of the Pope of the Catholic Church!】

【Congratulations, host, on uncovering the truth of the world!】

【Main mission completed. A new main mission has been generated.】

【Please choose your faction development direction, host.】

【1. Become the King of the Singularity, completely excise this era, and make it a self-contained world that will never be invaded by other forces. However, there is a limit on its growth.】

【2. Become the Lord of the Age of Gods, rule the spirits of various periods, use this world as your foundation, conquer other worlds, and thereby swallow Alaya and Gaia.】

Looking at John XII, who had fainted without saying a word.

Ning Cuo felt no fluctuation in his heart.

He had to admit that this woman was indeed quite capable.

She was able to develop Catholicism into the most powerful of the three major Christian factions during a period when her subordinates disobeyed her and she was under pressure from Nero.

She wouldn't be able to achieve that without some real strength.

However, Ning Cuo was prepared, and he had step by step forced her into a dead end.

Whether it was using the papal staff to ask Nero for help, or going all out to upgrade to a Demon Giant Force Warrior.

John XII, whose eyes were blinded by the times, had no way of resisting.

He always liked to have two plans in place.

This was Ning Cuo's habit.

If the Demon Giant Force Warrior failed, then Nero would be his final insurance.

He had made so many plans, and now the time for harvest had finally arrived.

Option one was simple.

With the continuous development of the system, Ning Cuo could do whatever he wanted in this world.

Although it sounded very enjoyable, in a way it would also trap him in this world and take away other possibilities.

Option two was much more difficult than he imagined.

Not to mention how Alaya and Gaia would resist.

Just the other worlds and spirits of the Age of Gods would be very difficult to subdue, let alone rule.

Just take the three most representative figures, Gilgamesh, Artoria, and Iskandar, for example.

Would they submit to anyone?

But the more dangerous the task, the greater the reward.

Ning Cuo liked to gamble, and he liked to win!

“I choose two!”

【The Mount & Blade system has upgraded and successfully evolved into the Dimensional Mount & Blade System. The troop tree has been fully unlocked. For each world you conquer, your faction will receive a full upgrade with no limit.】

【Dominator Points can be upgraded to Conqueror Points, which can be used to directly recruit god-type troop types, including but not limited to angels, elves, demons, giants, dragons, and other races.】

【Repute Points acquisition method unlocked. Every world will provide 40,000 Repute Points per day. At the same time, the Repute Points Store has been upgraded. As long as you have enough points, you can exchange for anything from any dimension in all heavens and realms, including but not limited to Noble Phantasms, mounts, bloodlines, etc.】

【System Panel updated】

【Host: Ning Cuo】

【Identity: Pope of the Eastern Orthodox Church/Lord of the Age of Gods】

【Papal Skill·God Says: Your skill release speed is controlled by your mouth. The faster you speak, the faster it releases.】

【Papal Skill·Divine Punishment: You can use this skill to launch a large-scale attack on cities once a day, ignoring distance, targets, and armor. It can be negated with 【God Says】.】

【Papal Skill·Divine Radiance: As long as there is light, no attack can target you.】

【Papal Skill·Undying: Life and death, reincarnation never ends. I will live for you, and you will die for me. As long as your soldiers are not dead, no matter what damage you take, you can instantly recover to peak condition.】

【Lord of the Age of Gods Authority】

【1. I Am the World: Your upper limit growth is synchronized with the growth of the world. For every spirit that exists in the world, the Lord of the Age of Gods will simultaneously draw any one of their Noble Phantasm skills each day. You can specify the skill. There is no upper limit to the number of skills, and no upper limit to the level.】

【2. World Devouring: You can incorporate any world you conquer. The land, sky, and sea will expand simultaneously, with no upper limit.】

【3. World Authority: The Lord of the Age of Gods can distribute authority to subordinates, who will be in charge of gathering spiritual foundations and reaching the peak of the Crown Rank.】

Hiss!

Ning Cuo had expected that his strength would become very strong after he ascended to the throne of the Pope, but he never imagined it would be this strong.

Looking at his drastically changed panel, he couldn't help but gasp.

Each skill doesn't seem very strong, but when combined, they are incredibly powerful.

The first two skills instantly allow Ning Cuo to become a perpetual city-destroying machine.

The last two skills give Ning Cuo any form of error tolerance, with no possibility of being killed.

The Lord of the Age of Gods' abilities were even more exaggerated.

As long as he could incorporate more worlds, Ning Cuo's strength could grow without limit, and he could freely draw any skill from spirits.

This means that one day.

Ning Cuo could use 【Gae Bolg/Purgatory】 in his 【World of Isolation】, use 【Unlimited Blade Works】, and use 【King's Treasure】.

......

Ning Cuo really didn't expect.

That just getting the title of Pope could grant him such powerful abilities.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

Although he now possessed terrifying strength beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

But the dangers he would face in the future also surpassed everyone's imagination.

Let alone the other worlds and spirits.

Would Alaya and Gaia just stand there and let him devour them?

These two root forces would definitely use all their might to stop him.

Combined with the current mess.

Ning Cuo suddenly muttered.

“Holy crap, I feel like I suddenly got hyped up!”

“Isn't this much more fun than farming and developing?!”

Ning Cuo felt that either he was being blinded by power, or he was a madman to begin with.

In the past, faced with such a mess.

He would force himself to calm down and think.

But now his heart was not afraid at all, instead it was filled with fighting spirit and enthusiasm.

He was about to speak.

But then, Toller suddenly rushed over.

He knelt down on the ground.

His tone was very urgent.

“Lord Ning Cuo, things have changed.”

“Joan of Arc sent us a message from Rome.”

“The Eastern Orthodox Church's Saint Peter has completely betrayed us. She has actually joined forces with the barbarians and Germans to invade Rome.”

“His Majesty Nero has been held back outside, and her situation is unknown.”

“But Rome is now under the attack of millions of enemies, it is a matter of life and death!”

A series of news left everyone present stunned.

Even the surviving bishops had no strength left to flee.

The events of the past day simply went beyond the imagination of most people.

First, the Summer Palace was attacked by demons and was in danger.

Ning Cuo united with these bishops to force John XII to abdicate and become the Pope.

They thought things would be peaceful from then on.

But it turned out this was just the beginning.

The Eastern Orthodox Church's Saint Peter was actually able to fight Nero to a standstill.

That's fine.

But the messenger of God actually colluded with foreigners to try to destroy Rome.

What was she thinking?!

This goes against the teachings of the Eastern Orthodox Church!
