Chapter 565 Why is it always you, not the Light of Creation?
St. Isaac's Cathedral in Ursus.
A priest, accompanied by soft sacred music, entered the main hall of the church, knelt on one knee before the figure gazing at the cross, and said, "Your Holiness, news has come from Dongxia—half an hour ago, Bai Ze applied for missile launch authorization from the old base in the ancient Vatican."
"Shortly afterward, a massive explosion occurred on the Ganges Plain, the ancient land of India. According to the investigation, a missile had flown through the nearby sky beforehand."
"That must have been launched from the East China Sea, most likely from the Steel Continent," the figure in the white coat said calmly, his previously leisurely expression turning into a frown.
Why is it you again?
Koschke felt like he was having a run of bad luck.
They finally found an opportunity to plunge Ursus into internal strife, only to discover that Bai Ze had reappeared.
Bai Ze felt that Kosh'e's shadow was everywhere, and considered him a troublemaker, but wasn't Kosh'e just as much?
At first, it was Koche who was causing trouble for Bai Ze, trying to get some feedback from this "student" who obtained "The Theory of Immortal Evolution". Later, the roles were gradually reversed.
In the primeval forest incident, it was Bai Ze who ruined things; otherwise, Cheng Peng would have certainly died, and the other Tianguan warriors who came to the rescue would have also fallen into Hualetian.
Then it was Bai Ze who disrupted the Third God's control over the StarNet Central.
If the Third Divine Enemy succeeds, the entire Federation will surely be thrown into chaos. Kosh'e could take the opportunity to absorb a large amount of malice, increase its own strength, and pave the way for the future.
Now, it's Bai Ze again.
This Bai Ze is simply a persistent ghost.
Even with Koshena and Chunyang Daoxin's equal state of mind, he felt extremely unlucky at this moment.
"His direct use of missiles is likely aimed at those remnants of the Tantric sect, but if he finds out that Joseph is about to return through the passage from the ancient land of India, he will probably intervene as well... Koche has never doubted Bai Ze's courage."
While others might not dare to interfere in Ursus's internal affairs, Bai Ze certainly would.
Looking at Bai Ze's actions, although he is very cautious, he can be bolder than anyone else if necessary.
The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish; no one understands the meaning of this saying better than Bai Ze.
In other words, I'll be facing Bai Ze again this time.
Thinking of this, Kosh said, "Send the message to the royal family in Yanjing, and then keep a close eye on the situation in the former lands of India."
""
Interfering in other countries' internal affairs is the most taboo thing to do.
In particular, this country is now an ally of the Eastern Xia Federation.
Koche did not intend to take action himself, nor did he intend to send anyone to intervene. Instead, he wanted to rely on the strength of others to block Bai Ze.
Now that Bai Ze has just become a director of the Martial Arts Association, it is a time of great prosperity and also a time when he is most feared.
His enemies were just looking for a suitable reason to curb Bai Ze's momentum.
"Joseph must return to Ursus!" Kosh'e said with an air of certainty.
If Joseph doesn't return to Ursus, what will Kosh'e eat?
Koshke was waiting for Ursus to descend into chaos so he could take the opportunity to eliminate any potential threats.
The ancient land of India and India.
In the dense forest, Georgie was running hurriedly.
.....
.....
He had only recently left Diroba's place when he witnessed a magnificent fireworks display. The deafening roar could be clearly heard even from dozens of miles away.
Georgie instinctively concealed himself, then changed out of his priest's robes, took secluded paths, and eventually turned into the nearby forest.
This is one of the largest forests in India, covering an area of 800 square kilometers, and it is summer, when the trees are lush and verdant.
Georgie abandoned flying, concealed himself, and raced through the forest toward the nearest Ursus base.
He bears the mission of the Holy See and absolutely cannot allow any mistakes to occur in the process.
However, sometimes, the more you try to avoid something going wrong, the more likely you are to encounter unexpected problems.
As Georgieg approached his destination, a loud hymn suddenly rang out.
"Behold, she will come down on the clouds, and all eyes will see her, even those who pierced her; and all nations on earth will mourn because of her."
"She will be magnified and holy, and will appear in the sight of many nations, and they will know that she is the new Lord."
Layer upon layer of praise, endless and continuous, a radiant figure descended from the sky, the forest parted at her feet, yielding a piece of land as her kingdom.
"Your Highness, Catherine!"
Georgie swallowed hard, his voice low and filled with hidden anxiety.
He desperately wanted to escape into the mountains and forests, but unfortunately, the sacred words that surrounded him blocked his escape route.
Georgie could only stand there and watch helplessly as Catherine descended.
Black military boots stepped out with brilliance, and the holy light receded like water.
Catherine emerged from the light, her voice both elegant and powerful, "Monk, why are you here?"
With each word, an invisible pressure surged forth like a tide, revealing the unmistakable oppression of those in power over those in lower positions within the belief system.
"Your Highness"
Georgie resisted the urge to yield and said, "You have no right to question the Holy See's messenger. I am carrying out the Holy See's command; I represent the Holy See."
"Patriarch Joseph has betrayed his mentor and is unworthy to be the leader of the Orthodox Church."
Catherine's eyes flashed with golden light as she declared, "Now, I will assume the role of Patriarch of the Orthodox Church."
The oppressive force, as if it were a tangible force, intensified further, causing Degeorgi to unleash a holy light of steel-colored light in resistance.
Ekaterina's words shook him to his core.
"You have no right to depose the First Holy See."
These words left his mouth unconsciously, but before he could finish speaking, Georgie suddenly realized Catherine's purpose.
"Damn it! She's trying to usurp the throne!"
Catherine had no right to depose the Patriarch of the Orthodox Church, but any power is only effective if someone obeys it.
When the rules of power are broken, all that's left is force.
Thinking of this, Georgie decisively activated his Holy Light, and the color of the steel turned into a brilliant gold.
A Saintly Image's Fighting Spirit - Golden Radiance Law.
As the orthodox teachings were activated, Georgie extended his hands, gathering golden light, as if transforming into golden hands, and crushed the invisible pressure.
His innate divine power... or, in Ursus's words, his innate divine ability: Victory's Grip.
Georgie's ability to face Diroba, a warrior of the Heavenly Gate, was certainly not solely due to his courage.
No matter how brave a martial artist below the eighth star is, they have no room to speak when facing a Heavenly Gate martial artist who transcends the level of life.
Elephants won't listen to ants, and a Heavenly Gate Warrior can completely silence any warrior below the Eighth Star simply by using their aura.
Georgie is an eight-star, and one of the best among eight-stars, at least in Ursus.
"The Grip of Victory" can break through external forces that are unfavorable to oneself, including invisible pressure. With a flick of his wrists, a spear and a sword flew out from his sleeves, which he grasped with his golden hands.
The silver spear, engraved with sacred runes, fired hundreds of beams of light, while golden sharpness slashed out from the short sword, breaking through the invisible pressure and attempting to carve a path.
George did not intend to defeat Catherine. The Orthodox Christian faith system is clearly hierarchical, and the probability of a lower-ranking person defeating a higher-ranking person is almost zero.
However, escaping is not impossible.
Even though Ekaterina is a saintess, she has only recently broken through to the eighth star level, and should not be able to compare with me, who has been a veteran for more than ten years.
However-
Faced with the onslaught of light projectiles, Ekaterina remained motionless, merely parting her thin lips slightly.
"You cannot resist, for this is the light of the uncreated, which is a created being."
Boundless light emanated from Catherine, spreading outwards.
The sheer scale of the event, even with the words "overwhelming" or "crowding the sky," seemed utterly inadequate.
The endless radiance carried both an overwhelming domineering power and an all-encompassing gentleness; its brilliance was like the sea, surging endlessly.
The moment the hundreds of light projectiles touched the ocean of light, they vanished as if they had sunk into the sea. In an instant, the pure radiance captured Georgie's figure, its aura cleansing and suppressing his mind.
In orthodox scriptures, all things in the world are created by God, with the only exception being the Son.
The Son is one with the Lord, and is an uncreated being; his radiance is the light of the uncreated.
This legend is, of course, fictional, but within the Orthodox Christian system, priests like George are indeed considered to be in a created position.
All the power of the orthodox religions has a common source.
In the past, the source was Vladimir; now, it is Catherine.
All the holy light was controlled by Catherine. Even though Georgy had followed Joseph and broken away from the faith system to establish his own faction, he was powerless against Catherine.
"For I stand at the right hand of God, and I am one with God."
Endless radiance emanated from Catherine's right hand. With a gentle wave, she twisted space, freezing Georgie's holy light and even his body in place.
A look of horror froze on Georgie's face, and he was even left in mid-air with his feet off the ground, maintaining a flying posture.
Time seemed to stand still for him, and even his thoughts were frozen.
Catherine walked slowly to Georgie, and light surged forth like a tide, engulfing Georgie.
Endless radiance flooded his body, causing his seven orifices to shine brightly.
"Now, priest, tell me, why are you here?" Catherine asked again.
"Follow the Patriarch's orders and go to meet with Tilopa, the head of the Tantric Mantra Temple."
Georgie's eyes gleamed, sometimes clear, sometimes lost in thought, while his mouth mechanically rattled off Joseph's orders and recounted his previous experiences.
"Diropa agreed to the trade of Buddhist teachings, but he needs us to hold off the Jade Gate Gang for three days."
"Will Joseph agree?" Ekaterina asked again.
"Highly likely."
Georgie said, "The Patriarch's order is for us to do everything in our power to acquire Buddhist techniques and the 'Theory of Immortal Evolution' in preparation for his control of the faith. If Tirubaba is too greedy, we can settle accounts with him later."
Simply put, they want the goods, but they also want their money back.
Adding this sentence increases the credibility by more than 10%.
Joseph may be domineering, but he genuinely values the interests of Ursus. He may pay a heavy price temporarily, but he will definitely find a way to get it back later.
"It seems highly likely that Joseph will meet with Tirubba in person," Ekaterina said.
"And all that Diropa needs is these three days."

The air vibrated, and Bai Ze's voice rang out.
Above the ocean of light, the light distorted, transforming into the symbol of an eye.
Bai Ze uses this "eye" to look at Ekaterina and communicate with her from afar.
"Now that Dongxia and Ursus are allies, it's not appropriate for me to openly interfere in Ursus's affairs."
Bai Ze said, "But if it's to deal with the remnants of the Tantric sect, then it's understandable."
If Joseph and Tiruba were in the same place, then Bai Ze could use the pretext of hunting down the traitor to take action against Joseph and the others.
If all else fails, you can send a few more rockets as a reward, so that your friends in Ursus can also enjoy the warmth of the sun.
"It's alright, I have a way to deal with Joseph."
Ekaterina was not disappointed; she had never intended for Bai Ze to take action in the first place.
The Ursus issue should be left to Ursus' own people to handle.
As Ekaterina spoke, she extended her right hand.
Her fair, jade-like hands wielded the radiance, merging it into Georgie's body.
Georgie let out a painful groan, his expression changing drastically, first instinctively resisting, then becoming dazed, and finally transforming into fanatical faith and worship.
"Your Highness."
He knelt on one knee, showing his submission to Catherine.
"This art style is a bit off." Bai Ze's consciousness watched this scene and couldn't help but vibrate the air, making a comment.
It's one thing for him to be like an evil god, but how come even women seem like evil gods?
If this continues, my home might become a den of evil spirits.
Ekaterina, however, seemed unfazed. "The orthodox religious practices originated from Buddhism and the remains of evil gods. Georgie is an orthodox priest, so converting him is not difficult for me."
That makes sense.
The Ursus people operate on the principle of taking what is useful, and from the very beginning they have been making use of the remains of the evil god; it's only natural that they have this ability.
The main reason they didn't fall into depravity was because of Vladimir.
That Ursus god-enemy single-handedly created the current system and led Ursus onto a glorious path.
Catherine was not a saint like Vladimir. She was indeed very kind to her own people, but once they became enemies, she would show a ruthless side like the coldest winter.
If they dared to assassinate Joseph, then using such a simple method of redemption is to be expected.
"Then let's use this bait to find Joseph's whereabouts."
Inside the Kalachakra Palace, Bai Ze, with one eye closed, spoke to Catherine across time and space, saying, "I should also make some preparations."

The Steel Continent also has a number of Western Union high-tech weapons in reserve, including twenty high-yield nuclear warheads.
If all else fails, Bai Ze can personally demonstrate how to conjure a nuclear weapon by hand.
Everything is ready; all that's left is for Joseph to appear.
