The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

The ever-silent Lady suddenly spoke, "Is there no limit on the number of uses?"

Wu Heng shook his head, "Not sure, it seems there's no limit."

"If that's the case, why does the Holy Court only maintain the Four Holy Seats?" The Lady was somewhat puzzled.

Glenda replied, "It seems to be a tradition of the Holy Court, maintaining the setup of the Four Holy Seats."

"If that's true, it is indeed somewhat pedantic," the Lady concluded.

Bella chimed in, "Now there's only the Pope left as a Hero, and that list of blasphemers probably won't be sent out either!"

"Even if it's not nullified, it won't stir up any waves," Glenda chuckled, "The Skeleton Guard around Wen Mansha and Brittany is enough to ensure their safety."

Wu Heng also agreed, "Yes, our main issue has been resolved."

Without a Hero to carry out missions, the threat from the Holy Court is nothing but an empty letter.

Whether it's Wen Mansha, Brittany, or the elders of the Wood Elves, they all have the capability to thwart the actions of ordinary professionals.

The Pope himself probably doesn't dare to leave the Holy Hall.

Glenda looked at Wu Heng and said, "Things are good as they are now. The Holy Court loses its ability to mass-produce Heroes, and we can take this opportunity to develop our faith."

"Yes, I thought so too," Wu Heng nodded.

Then, Wu Heng took out a lavish crown and a scepter embedded with a Holy Crystal from the Space Ring.

"Wow! There's more treasure?" Xiao Xiao's eyes sparkled.

Wu Heng cleared his throat and explained, "I saw it lying on the ground, so I picked it up."

Xiao Xiao cheered, "The Holy Hall is truly a wonderful place!"

The three Ghosts looked speechlessly at the mismatched pair.

Isn't this obviously the Pope's stuff!

"This hat is really pretty. Auntie, did you have such a nice hat when you were the Big Fox Woman?"

"Flashy but impractical."

...

Wu Heng's gaze fell on the first special item, the crown.

[Edict of Holy Authority (Special Item)]

[Effect: Divine decree enforcement, eternal continuity.]

[Side effects: Faith Fuel, Judgment of the Unbeliever.]

(Description: When light penetrates the crown, shadows of thorns and scepters are cast on the ground, silently proclaiming 'Divine Gift Authority.')

[Divine decree enforcement]: The wearer's words are infused with divine authority, compelling followers to instinctively obey, even against their own will.

[Eternal continuity]: Death is not the end; the wearer's soul is preserved within the crown for seven days, immune to all forms of annihilation during this period.

[Faith Fuel]: If the faith of the Holy Court collapses, the crown will consume the wearer as the final 'fuel for faith.'

[Judgment of the Unbeliever]: Non-devout wearers who use the crown will be engulfed by Holy Flame erupting from their pores, reducing the blasphemer to ash called 'dust of contrition.'

Wu Heng hesitated to pick it up, seeing that non-devout wearers would be burned by Holy Flame erupting from their pores.

He recalled previously having a Holy Court emblem that could summon flames to burn him; he'd never taken it out.

And now, another one!

[Divine decree enforcement] is probably the most terrifying tool for ruling, able to make followers instinctively obey commands, terrifying indeed.

The [Eternal continuity] is more like a life-saving ability, allowing the wearer's soul to be protected by the crown for seven days after death.

Looking at it this way, the Holy Court isn't that hostile to souls, at least the effects of the special item protect the Pope's soul.

Why didn't the previous two Popes wear this crown in battle with me?

No, wearing it would be useless; in my hands, after seven days they still perish.

There are two side effects.

[Faith Fuel] is somewhat unique; when the Holy Court's faith collapses, the wearer becomes the final fuel.

This is to burn oneself.

He once played a dark game, collecting the souls of kings as fuel to keep the fire going.

It feels somewhat similar.

The final [Judgment of the Unbeliever] means that anyone not of the faith who uses the crown will be burned to death.

In other words, if you're not of the Holy Court, you're not allowed to use it.

...

After examining the first item, he continued to look at the second, the scepter.

[Holy Judgment (Special Item)]

[Effect: Holy Judgment, Miracle Manifestation.]

[Side effects: Sincere Confession.]

(Description: Do you think you're holding judgment? You're merely a prisoner wielding God's whip.)

[Holy Judgment]: Conducts a 'Soul Judgment' on a target, compelling them to confess their sins or suffer divine punishment corresponding to their sins.

[Miracle Manifestation]: The scepter grants high-tier abilities like 'Wound Healing,' 'Purifying Poison,' and 'Limb Regeneration.'

[Sincere Confession]: Every use of an 'Effect' necessitates seven sincere confessions, or the next casting will result in equal repercussion.

Finished examining the attributes.

Wu Heng's eyes gleamed.

This seems usable by me.

Ignoring the four Ghosts who were still discussing the hat, Wu Heng picked up the scepter and pointed toward an empty spot beside him.

A brilliant Holy Light descended, then vanished in an instant.

The Holy Court's [Holy Word Technique].

The originally chirping four Ghosts immediately froze.

Xiao Xiao exclaimed, "Wow! A golden legend."

Glenda frowned, "The Holy Court's ability."

The Lady asked, "Have you betrayed us?"

Bella said, "Could you have been possessed by something filthy?"

"Just testing a weapon," Wu Heng rolled his eyes and then said, "Hold on, the weapon has side effects too."

He then performed the act of confession from the Holy Court, "I'm guilty! I was wrong…"

The air suddenly fell silent.

Wu Heng quickly recited it seven times, then stood up, "Done! We can use this one too, quite useful."

Glenda said irritably, "Do you have any backbone? At least now you're the Pope of the Spirit Awakening Sect, and you're confessing to the Holy Court."
