"That's natural."
Emmanuel is naturally unwilling to be reconciled to his failure. Although the two parties have no actual bets, neither of them likes the feeling of losing.
"Or do you want to leave after winning?"
"No, I was just thinking, if it was that person, he wouldn't lose to me."
"You mean that Jesus is stronger than me? But as the Son of God, his power is still limited, and he will not be much stronger than me."
Emmanuel understood that the supreme "Lord" is omniscient and omnipotent only when the Trinity is completed.
Jesus who descended on the earth was nothing more than a son of God, with the blessing of the Holy Spirit at most, and the two-thirds "omniscient and omnipotent" was not much stronger than Emmanuel.
"No, I just don't think there will be a bet between him and me, because we both will bet on Fujimaru Tatsuka's success."
When two people are betting on one place, then the bet will not be established, and there will be no winning or losing if the game is not completed.
"At the end of the Sabbath, on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene, and Mary Magdalene, came to see the tomb, just before dawn."
"Suddenly there was a great earthquake. Because an angel of the Lord came down from heaven, rolled away the stone, and sat on it."
"His face was like lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow."
"The guards trembled because of him, even as dead."
"The angel said to the women, don't be afraid, I know you are looking for the crucified Jesus."
......
Zeus read the last chapter of the New Testament Matthew, which tells the story of the resurrection of Jesus after his death.
Emmanuel was puzzled, no one understood better than him what the so-called resurrection was all about.
"Emmanuel, where is the man mentioned in the scriptures? Mary Magdalene."
"Mary Magdalene?"
Emmanuel was taken aback for a moment, he had completely forgotten about this person.
Chapter 290 The Star of Bethlehem
Mary Magdalene?
These days Emmanuel has been thinking about who this person is, and he also asked Judas, but he got the answer "I can't get it".
"There are not many things on this planet that I don't know, but Mary Magdalene, as a character in the Bible, I shouldn't be ignorant."
Emmanuel did not understand that there is no trace of the woman who witnessed Jesus' "resurrection" in the Bible.
Zeus threw this question to him in order to delay him for a short time. Emmanuel is naturally aware of such an overt conspiracy, but this will not change that he himself is very curious about this question.
While Immanuel was stumped by this question, Zeus had the opportunity to see the situation of Fujimaru Tachika.
"Looks very energetic."
Although Zeus has confidence in his golden apple, he also understands that to use the Holy Lance not only requires magic power, but also requires enough spirit and perseverance.
Although the golden apple can restore Fujimaru Tachika's body, it can't help with mental power, but I didn't expect this guy to be so energetic.
"That's all I have left."
Fujimaru Tachika disregarded Mash's obstruction, and was still exercising. This vigorous energy is indeed worthy of admiration.
"Zeus, you asked us to get the Holy Lance, the purpose is not to use the Holy Lance to defeat the Roman army?"
"Guess it?"
"Too obvious."
At first, Fujimaru Tachika really believed that Zeus' purpose was to use the Holy Lance to deter the Roman army, and then bridge the military strength and strategic disadvantage of both sides, but with the appearance of Artoria, this idea changed.
Even though this famous person is not as good as Caesar in leading troops, her personal strength is enough to make up for this disadvantage. Afterwards, Matthew and Nero can also contain Romulus, but the Holy Lance is obviously not so good. necessary.
"Besides, if you really want to use the Holy Lance, wouldn't it be good to just let the spear-rank King Arthur come down? Not only can you use the Holy Lance freely, but you don't have to worry about the possibility of the return of the Age of Gods."
When Fujimaru Tachika remembered the scene of using the Holy Spear before, the feeling of burning all the nerves in her whole body almost drove her crazy, but she still did it.
"I won't be able to use the Holy Lance again until the three command spells are recovered. The recovery time for the command spells is three days. You can't take such a big risk for a weapon that can only be used once in three days. What are you waiting for?"
"Wait for a Demon God Pillar."
Although Chaldea and his party were hunted down by Romulus again, there was still a hidden Emmanuel beside them, which made Chaldea forget their biggest difficulty - the burning of humanity.
"Solomon's 72 demon gods, they actually forgot about them."
Fujimaru Tachika also realized that whether it was the Fuyuki Singularity or the French Singularity, there were interventions from the Demon God Pillars, but this time they were silent.
She was aware of such a strange situation at the first time, but the successive battles distracted her attention, and she even forgot the most conspicuous enemy.
"The singularity this time, whether it is Romulus or Emmanuel, is not something that the Demon God Pillar can intervene, but they still gave Romulus the Holy Grail, and hid a slave that is strong enough to turn defeat into victory." By."
"Who?"
"The whip of God, Attila."
Attila, the Whip of God, the legendary king of the Huns, the one who destroyed Western Rome by himself. His powerful strength was considered unmatched by the Europeans at that time. His existence itself was a divine punishment from God. .
But for some people with EX-level clairvoyance, Attila is not an ordinary human being, but the clone projected on the ground by the star soldiers back then.
In this world line that is different from Zeus's original world, only one star soldier arrives on the earth, but is restricted by the moon spirit crystal, and can only arrange one clone to perform missions on the earth, and then... the earth is destroyed It's dry.
That's right, at that time all the gods on the earth were dotted by the avatar of the star soldier, and it can be said that they were subdued. If it weren't for the first holy sword envoy who passed the general, the earth at this time would have been suppressed Bar.
Attila was the life born from the vanquished vanguard of the stars. She became the leader of the Huns, and then fought everywhere amidst her natural hostility to civilization.
Although Rome was divided at that time, it was still one of the most dazzling civilizations on earth, which naturally became the target of Attila's attack.
"Although it's only Western Rome, it's still Rome anyway. Will Romulus really cooperate with Attila?"
Even Fujimaru Tachika knows that there are a bunch of messy Romes in the later generations, but the East and West Romes are different, they are all split from the Roman Empire, it can be said that the roots are red.
Romulus originally wanted to establish a Roman Empire that lasted forever, and it is logically impossible to join forces with her.
"It's impossible for everything to be as you wish in this world. It's not that Romulus didn't want it to happen."
Zeus gathered the Holy Sword and Holy Spear in one place for the sake of safety this time, but this does not guarantee 100% that the desired result will be obtained.
......
"This is troublesome. Even if Zeus is not counted as combat power, our advantage seems to be eliminated."
Caesar evaluated the current situation. Although they still have an advantage in terms of military strength, the Holy Lance can be used again after these days of rectification.
"I reject."
"I haven't said anything yet."
"But I know what you are going to say, so I refuse in advance."
"tsk"
Caesar looked at Romulus helplessly, obviously he looked very nervous, but his mind was not bad at all.
"I know that as a strategist, you will use all conditions to strengthen yourself, but in order to keep Rome going, I can't use that person."
Thinking of the girl called Attila, even Romulus could feel the strength of the other party. It can only be said that against such an enemy, the defeat of Western Rome was not wronged.
Now Attila is still sleeping in the Holy Grail, once it is released, it will be really easy to ask God and give it away.
"Can't you who own the Holy Grail control her? As a 'gift' from the Demon God Pillar, if you can make good use of it..."
"It is precisely because it cannot be used that I will never use it. The function of the Holy Grail is only a seal."
Romulus sensed the danger of Attila, a force completely opposed to civilization.
Once Attila is activated, it will inevitably make her unable to coexist with the Roman Empire, which is absolutely not what Romulus wants to see.
"Retreat."
"Retreat? What an oddity."
Caesar did not expect that Romulus would take the initiative to retreat. It seems that this Roman godfather is not really a fool without a plan.
"Retreating is just for better attacking. You can only punch stronger if you retract your fist. I don't need others to teach me this."
Romulus is inferior to Caesar in strategy and tactics, but he is only inferior to Caesar.
Looking at the current map, this strait can become Nero's natural moat, can't it become their natural moat?
"Call the magicians and arrange forts in the strait. If they want to force a landing, if they don't pay a huge price, then they can only use the holy gun."
If it's just King Arthur's holy sword, then Romulus still has the means to deal with it. Coupled with the fortifications of the strait, he can guarantee that Nero will not be able to go ashore unless Zeus does not use the holy spear.
"Our original goal is to continue an eternal empire, but Chaldea can't delay time with us, that is to say, time is on our side."
Caesar carefully analyzed the combat power of both sides.
Although Britain still has remnants of the Age of Gods, resources are still scarce. Building a fortification with the resources of Rome is definitely not what Nero can handle in Britain, so Nero's choice is to use strength to defeat it.
"As long as they try to land, they have to use the holy gun. This is equivalent to taking the initiative to fight us. Their firepower advantage will be gone. Then we have one thing to worry about."
"Rome, right?"
In fact, Romulus is worried about Romulus planning to retreat. The battle that he thought could be resolved quickly may now enter a tug-of-war. Naturally, it is impossible to allow him to stay in Rome and run amok.
"What news did the spy bring back?"
"He is still preaching these days, and the effect is very good. More and more people have given up the Roman faith and started to convert to Christ."
If you just believe it, Romulus and Caesar can actually accept it. After all, one of their goals is the perpetuation of the empire, and the other is the perpetuation of culture. They don't care much about the invasion of Christianity, but... Does Emmanuel really have such a small purpose?
"It's too fast."
Romulus understands that in today's Rome, there is no future for the low-level people. Under such circumstances, conversions are indeed easy to happen, but Manelli is too fast.
"Originally the Roman faith and the Christian faith in the elders' house were evenly matched, but during the time I left, the Christian faith in the elders' house reached [-]%, and the proportion among the people will be even more exaggerated."
Still developing faith at a time like this?
Once Zeus wins, everything in this singularity will be corrected, and everything that Emmanuel has done will be in vain.
What is he going to do?
......
"Because they do not know the righteousness of God, and want to establish their own righteousness, they disobey the righteousness of God."
"If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."
"Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
In the city of Rome, the believers who are present at this time are even more exaggerated than the information Romulus received. Eighty percent of the elders have converted to Christianity, and ninety percent of the people have become Christians.
They will read the content of "New Testament Romans" before eating, they are longing for God's salvation, longing for those who are high to fall into hell, and those who are as humble as mud to ascend to heaven.
And with the city of Rome as the center, there are more and more areas where such beliefs radiate.
"Lord, your glory has already shone in Rome, and I think it will soon be possible to establish Bethlehem here."
In the House of Elders, most of the elders were kneeling beside Emmanuel at this time. Although Emmanuel never equated himself with Jesus, the present era is less than 20 years away from the death of Jesus. .
Most of these gray-haired old men had seen Jesus preaching in the city when they were young, and even saw him being killed by the gun of Longinus.
But now this person is still alive, this face is almost the same as that of the past, making the elders understand that resurrection seems to be possible.
Although the belief in Rome is deeply rooted, those legends are just things far away, and the case of Jesus' resurrection after death is right in front of us.
They are also getting older, and the fear of dying has made them convert, and the number of converts will only increase as time goes on.
"I'm not who you think."
Emmanuel has said this more than once, but these guys who have become monks, holding a "Bible" and starting to interpret it with their own ideas, finally came to many ridiculous conclusions.
This is why Emmanuel does not want the world to interpret the Bible in its own way.
"Bethlehem is going to be built fast, they won't give us much time."
Bethlehem, the legendary birthplace of Jesus, at this time, Emmanuel naturally does not want to move that place here, or build a one-to-one proportional "theme park", but to build a real God's arrival place.
"When the star shines above Bethlehem, the world will receive the redemption it deserves."
This was a prophecy that was supposed to be fulfilled, but with the death of Jesus, it became a fantasy. Now that Emmanuel wants to complete the redemption, the only way is to make this prophecy appear again.
"When Bethlehem appears on this world again, when the bright morning star hangs in the sky again, the Son of God will descend on the earth. He is the Lord of David and the King of kings."
Emmanuel muttered these mysterious words, while the elders knelt and listened.
