At his peak, he would transform the power of faith into his own, making himself and Qi Tian stepping stones for him, and he would become a true god, changing the entire Vatican, and even, through the Vatican, gradually changing other countries, and finally making the whole world believe in the old Pope.
Then...
Perhaps he would truly become the "Lord" in the mouths of believers and the "True God" in his own words.
When the use of the power of faith reaches a certain level, it is indeed possible to achieve this.
"Of course, there was a transaction. For example, you see, I can now devour the power of faith, which was initially exchanged by him, and he gave me this faith as food." The torso nodded as if it were natural. "Then, over time, I also discovered the special nature of this faith and learned how to use it."
The next second, all the faith in the statue was instantly absorbed into his body.
The speed of this devouring made Lin Xiao and Qi Tian's expressions change instantly. With such a concentration of faith, as long as the physical body could withstand it, the energy burst out would definitely exceed the Freedom Realm!
Not to mention the torso of this Dark Archmage.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just performing for you." The next second, the faith returned to the statues.
"You should also know that the Heavenly Gate is sealed, so even if I absorb the faith here, my strength will at most be a little stronger than you two." The torso shrugged. "If I can't connect to the Heavenly Realm, then this faith cannot truly receive the blessing of a god. As for me, my own body can be considered divine, so I can exert more power, but it's only a step further."
"Then you..."
Lin Xiao felt a little confused, both he and Qi Tian were confused.
Was this really a part of the Dark Archmage? He spoke so confidently, it was completely impossible to tell.
"I, I finally managed to appear in the world, so of course I want to travel around, go shopping, and play games properly." The torso looked at Lin Xiao and said, "Of course, I also want to see what this old fellow is up to. But he's too incompetent, and someone who doesn't even know what he wants for himself is not interesting."
"You... say that again?"
Lin Xiao wondered if he had misheard. What did this guy just say? Traveling, shopping, and playing games?! Could a part of the Dark Archmage say such things? Was he sure he wasn't messing with them?
"What, does it sound outrageous? Let me tell you, I was sealed until now before I was allowed out. Before that, I could only communicate with this old Pope in the seal, and through his soul and the power of faith, I could experience the current world. Let me tell you, I've been itching for a long time. His soul memories contain many novel things, but that guy didn't go to many places. I thought, when I have time, I must go and experience it myself."
Lin Xiao and Qi Tian exchanged a glance. Lin Xiao said, "Why do I feel like I see a bit of your shadow on him."
"I see yours too."
After saying these words, the torso waved his hand and opened a door on the ground. "This is the dungeon leading to those who were imprisoned. They are all still alive, but their mental state is not very good. You can take a look."
"So, you're going to leave?" Lin Xiao saw his posture, he was really about to slip away, so he hurriedly blocked the torso's path.
