"For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him. Their thinking became vain, and their foolish hearts were darkened."
"Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man, and birds, beasts, and reptiles."
"They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature instead of the Creator. Blessed be the Lord forever."
"Therefore God gave them up to shameful lusts. Their women changed natural uses to perverse uses."
......
Emmanuel was chanting the contents of the "Bible", which appeared from the "New Testament Romans" to describe the city of Rome in the eyes of a Christian, but in fact it was more of an accusation against today's Rome.
"Since they deliberately did not know God, God allowed them to do those unreasonable things with their crooked hearts."
Doctor Roman has a headache, he has already guessed about Emmanuel's identity, if it is really him... then Zeus will not regard him as a combat power at all.
The advent of Zeus essentially exists to contain Emmanuel.
"Doctor, what did Emmanuel say?"
Fujimaru Tachika is not a Christian, so she doesn't understand where these words come from, but she can also feel that Emmanuel is pointing.
This kind of riddle guy is really annoying.
"The content in the Bible is Emmanuel's answer to what Rome looks like today."
Doctor Roman understands that when Jesus came and went to Rome, the essential purpose was to save the human beings in Rome at that time and bring the salvation of all mankind as a starting point.
After all, Rome at that time was the pinnacle of the world, one of the two strongest countries at that time.
"The extravagance of Rome did not start with Nero, but Nero inherited and developed it on this basis."
Regardless of the standpoint, no one can deny the light of civilization that Rome emitted when it existed, but this light of civilization did not reach the people at the bottom.
At this time, Nero was extremely shaken, and Emmanuel's words were obviously quite effective, and the balance of victory seemed to be tilted towards Emmanuel.
"Believe with all your heart that what God has promised will be done."
Zeus gave a response, but this time he did not use his own words but a passage from Chapter 4No.20 of "New Testament Romans".
Attack the Shield of the Son with the Spear of the Son.
Today's leave note
RT, in short, is asking for leave~
These days my schedule has completely exploded. In fact, I can see some clues from the update time. I feel that my whole body is not well.
In order to prevent me from dying violently on the keyboard, I still ask for leave today and sleep well.
When I resurrect with full blood tomorrow, I will update it when it should be updated.
Chapter 280 IX I'm Resurrected With Full Blood (referring to the author himself)
"Taken out of context."
Immanuel naturally understood which chapter of the Bible Zeus said, but he also understood that the original meaning of this sentence was not the same.
"Everyone is qualified to interpret the Bible."
This is the core concept of the later religious reformation, which is to break the church’s monopoly on the interpretation of the Bible, but it can be used by Zeus here, but it has another meaning.
This is the core difference between the concepts of Emmanuel and Zeus.
They all believe that human beings need redemption, but one thinks that human beings need others to bring about redemption, while the other thinks that human beings can accomplish self-salvation.
"Then how about a bet?"
Zeus looked at the sea of flowers in front of him, and immediately thought of an interesting bet.
"Then you are a losing bet."
Emmanuel understood what Zeus wanted to say, the so-called bet was just to see if Chaldea and his party could find the Holy Lance Lungomeniad in this endless sea of flowers.
Today's era is not an opportunity for the Holy Lance to be born. Although Chaldea and his party are taking care of it with restraint, if they cannot be recognized by the Holy Lance, then they will not be able to find it.
"Let's give it a try."
Zeus naturally understood that he might fail. Although he had Altria, the owner of the Holy Lance, on the scene, it was only a matter of time before he found the Holy Lance, but the chance of getting the Holy Lance's approval was slim.
The Holy Lance Lungominiad has the duty of anchoring the world. In this era when the Age of Gods has just faded away, once it leaves its post, it may cause the Age of Gods to revive.
The answer is self-evident.
"Then I need to set a time. Before Caesar's army comes here, if they can't get the approval of the Holy Lance, then I win."
"Can."
Zeus agreed to this gamble without bets, but for them, even if there was no bet, winning or losing itself meant a huge price.
One of them is the avatar of the Greek god king, and the other is the body left by God. If the things here are spread, it will be a huge blow to the god system.
"Well, let's start now."
Immanuel called a snow-white dove, and immediately whispered something in its ear, and the dove was ordered to flap its wings and fly high before disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Although it is just an ordinary pigeon, it is no longer it when it is ordered by Emmanuel, but a messenger of God.
Nothing in this world can stop the messenger of God.
Even though this is the sea of stars that is completely different from the surface of the earth, it broke through all obstacles and came to the surface like a white lightning, and then locked on the ship that Caesar was on.
"Huh? News from Emmanuel."
As the dove flew over the heads of Caesar and Romulus, the news of Emmanuel entered their minds like a revelation.
They saw what Nero seemed to be looking for in a sea of flowers, and the road to that sea of flowers also appeared in their minds.
"Holy Lance Lungominiad? That thing is too cheating, if they get it, our army will become a burden instead."
Caesar had a headache.
The news of Immanuel naturally contains information about the Holy Lance. If everything is true, they will face an A++-level Anti-City Noble Phantasm. This is no joke.
No... If you count the original characteristics of the Holy Lance, it is even an unevaluable EX-rank Noble Phantasm.
"Absurd, if the Holy Lance really anchors the current era and isolates the ashes of the gods, then she will simply ignore the entire human race to get this thing."
Romulus is more angry at Nero's actions than facing an A++-level Anti-City Noble Phantasm, which may cause a repetition of the Age of Gods.
He has had close contact with the gods, and he understands that not all gods are fond of humans.
The key to the good relationship between the Greek gods and humans is that Zeus showed great "humanity" when he took them away, and then the gods followed suit, gradually creating a relatively equal communication environment.
In Romulus' future plan, the world only needs one Roman Empire, which means that he must annex other countries. If the gods of other countries are also revived, this will be a huge obstacle.
This is the difference between Caesar and Romulus, Romulus is an idealist, he hopes to have an eternal and unique empire that will last for countless years.
Although Caesar didn't say anything, he didn't think such a country could survive. He hoped that Roman culture could replace the Roman Empire and annex other countries to join Rome. After all, there is already such an example in this world. existence, Caesar, as a realist, is naturally willing to pursue it.
It's just that no matter what principles the two of them uphold at this time, they can't let Chaldea and his party get the holy gun.
"But Lord Jupiter is really helping them. It stands to reason that Lord Jupiter is a supporter of the fading of the Age of Gods. There is no reason to use the holy spear at this time."
"Humph, it's just the self-confidence that belongs only to old things."
As the grandson of Zeus, Romulus naturally understands that his old things always have inexplicable confidence, and more importantly, the old things never seem to be deflated.
"The Holy Lance serves as the anchor point for reality and fantasy. Even if it leaves the place for a short time, it will not have much impact. Unless it is completely liberated, the balance between reality and fantasy will not collapse immediately."
Romulus also heard a little about the holy spear.
The age of the gods has not receded for too long in this era, and the anchor built by the Holy Lance is not yet firm enough, as long as the battle is resolved in a short time and the Holy Lance is put back.
If hundreds of years have passed, until the anchor point of the Holy Lance is stable, the Holy Lance needs to be completely released before the anchor can be loosened. For this reason, the fairies seem to plan to arrange thirteen seals on it with the same specifications as the Holy Sword. The purpose is to prevent the Holy Lance from being released casually.
As for the white dragon Vortigern stealing the Holy Lance 400 years later, and calling the seal contact back to the Age of Gods, that is another story.
"In a very short period of time, will we defeat the whole of Rome? Such a joke is not funny."
With Zeus being restrained by Emmanuel, Caesar didn't think that Chaldea and his party would become stronger with the Holy Lance.
Although King Arthur was also mentioned in Emmanuel's message, Romulus has the qualifications to be a candidate for the crown, so no matter how he thinks about his strength, he will not lose to King Arthur.
"See, the shores of Britain."
Romulus jumped onto the mast. From the highest point of the ship, he saw the coast of the British islands. From there, he went to the Sea of Stars, which could be reached in less than two days on a fast horse.
"In that case, kill Nero as soon as possible."
As long as it reaches the shore, the Roman infantry phalanx is invincible.
......
"Hey fake, you're not fooling Yu, are you?"
Nero fell directly into the sea of flowers. After several days of searching, they almost turned the sea of flowers inside out, but they still couldn't find the so-called anchor of the storm.
If it wasn't for Arturia to feel that it was in this sea of flowers, Nero would have gone to other places to search for it.
"I don't joke about things like this."
Arturia's personality doesn't like jokes, although she can use tricks to entrap the enemy, but she won't use such a good method on her partner, even if her partner is a Roman at this time.
"But where's that thing? There's neither an anchor nor a gun, so it's really not that tower?"
Nero looked at the tall tower suspended in mid-air in the distance. According to legend, it was the place where Merlin was imprisoned, but now it has been deserted and there is nothing left.
"Not really."
Arturia can only feel the approximate range of the Holy Lance at this time, but it is difficult to find out the exact location. She also understands that it is not that the Holy Lance has rejected her master, but that the Holy Lance cannot leave at this time. here.
The distinction between fantasy and reality is not yet firm, it must be in order to be stable.
"I can only hand over my expectations to her."
Arturia set her sights on Fujimaru Tachika. Although she is just an ordinary human being, her mental strength and perseverance are no less than that of a heroic spirit.
That kind of firm belief is the cornerstone of becoming a hero.
Let these dead people see how far the future human beings can go.
This is the answer that the heroic spirits want to see, and it is also the bet between Zeus and Emmanuel.
"Fujimaru, it's time for you to take a good rest, these days you only rest for three hours a day."
Doctor Roman has enough professional ethics, he understands that Tatsuka Fujimaru will definitely be exhausted if he continues like this.
"It doesn't matter, I also learned a lot of magic in Chaldea these days, and this search won't last long."
Fujimaru Tachika was obviously very tired, but she refused to take a rest. This was not the typical bravado of young people, but the best plan after consideration.
"Although the Star Inner Sea is a different world inside the planet, Caesar's people will find it soon, right?"
"..."
Doctor Roman remained silent. In fact, such a conjecture is not difficult to come to, but because of the existence of Emmanuel, he has always been hesitant and unwilling to speak out.
After Nero trusted Fujimaru Tachika, he briefly described the situation in Rome today. The originally distinct forces in the Presbyterian House were unified. If Caesar unified the Roman faith, then who is the Christian faith to appease?
With Emmanuel, the answer is self-evident.
"Although the appearance of Zeus has precedents, if..."
Matthew also couldn't help worrying. Immanuel is one of the many titles of Jesus. If you really want to be an enemy of this god, it would be too desperate.
"No, that's not who we thought it was, it's something else."
Dr. Roman expressed his own conclusions.
That body is undoubtedly the real thing, but the power of God is not attached to the body, but the noble "spirit". No matter how skilled magic is, it cannot create a fake like Immanuel.
What is going wrong here.
"I don't think Emmanuel is really that person, but Zeus has been confronting him in a vague way at this time, which means that there is a ticking time bomb around us that cannot be dealt with."
If Immanuel could handle it, Fujimaru Tatsuka believed that Zeus would definitely not be so troublesome to bring him by his side.
Since Zeus couldn't handle it, he didn't do such useless work.
It won't be too long before Xing Neihai is discovered, and they have to do it as soon as possible...
"Huh? What is this?"
Fujimaru Tachika suddenly felt as if he stepped on something, it was not a stone but something harder.
