Chapter 1262 Shadow Pope
Joan thought about it carefully. Sir Custis betrayed "Mother of Monsters" Ekadna and converted to "Queen of Karma" Demoss, which had already been foreshadowed.
When he was in Leiden Port, Joan often visited the White House Manor. Ser Custis's two daughters, Martha and Rebecca, were priests of Demos.
Miss Martha, the heir of the Custis family, and her two fiancés, Daniel Fairfax and George Vassar, are also paladins of Dimoss.
Joan used to think it was just a coincidence, but in retrospect, he was still too naive.
What does this mean, isn't it clear enough?
Both Alfheim and Midgard were the overseas colonies of the Holy Asan Empire. It stands to reason that the mainstream beliefs of the colonies should be consistent with those of the empire itself.
This is true in name, the Church of the Holy Light that respects Pelor is the official church of the New World, but anyone who has lived in the New World for a long time will admit the fact that there are certainly many people around him who worship the "Sun God" Pelor, But there are more people who worship the "Queen of Karma" Di Mosi.
Although the Dimos Church does not have an official aura, it is actually the largest private church.
Considering the huge influence of the Church of Demos in the New World, Joan has reason to believe that after Sir Custis betrayed the "Mother of Monsters" Ekadna and converted to Demos, the "Queen of Karma", he received a generous reward. Return, from a chosen of evil gods, to a chosen of powerful divine power.
It is precisely because of the background of the "Queen of Karma" that this sickly Lord was able to quickly gain a foothold after leaving his homeland and coming to Midgard, becoming the leader behind the scenes of the entire New World Dimoss Order, and by the way, he also controlled Midgard. De Garde University and the board of directors of the colonial company exerted invisible and huge influence in the religious, secular and even academic circles, becoming the veritable "pope" of the New World.
Sir Custis waved his hand lightly to drive away a dead leaf butterfly that landed on his lap, and continued the topic just now.
"Joan, let's continue talking about the Holy Seal. How much do you know about this thing?"
Joan resisted the urge to touch the eyeballs on the back of her neck, and answered after thinking: "My tutor, Professor Moriarty, once told me that there are two ways to obtain the Holy Seal, 'nature' and 'nurture'."
"The innate holy seal is probably like me, which is derived from the strange bloodline of the 'mother of monsters' Ekadna through inheritance. The holy seal is the concentrated manifestation of this innate bloodline power."
"Acquired Holy Seal refers to those creatures who are not born with the blood of Ekadna, and later joined the 'Brotherhood of Our Lady' and other religious organizations that worship the 'Mother of Monsters', made contributions, or performed very well. If you are devout, you will receive the blessing of its idol Ekadna, and a certain organ in your body will mutate and evolve into a holy seal."
"The instructor also told me that there is no difference in essence whether it is the congenital or the acquired holy seal. They can also be divided into ten categories and can also evolve."
"Instructor Moriarty only told me about the initial characteristics of the ten holy seals. As for how to evolve in the future and what form it will eventually evolve into, the instructor did not elaborate, and perhaps he himself does not know much about it."
After hearing Joan's answer, Sir Custis nodded thoughtfully.
"Joan, frankly speaking, your mentor's understanding of the Holy Seal is too superficial, let me make some additions."
"As you said, the Holy Seal can be inherited or implanted. Whether it is congenital or acquired, it is essentially the same. You can imagine the Holy Seal as a supernatural germ, or in a more vivid and disgusting way, A parasite."
"'Mother of Monsters' Ekadna has an extremely perverted ability called 'Aura of Pregnancy'. If a female creature happens to be pregnant and is within the influence of this supernatural aura, the fetus in the body will be It will be affected by Ekadna's divine power, and will have strange characteristics after birth, if I guess correctly, this is how your strange eye seal came about."
Joan nodded.
Just as Sir Custis guessed, in order to find out the true face of the "Holy Mother", my grandfather broke into the cult's sacrificial place with his son-in-law and pregnant daughter, and it is likely that he received the "pregnancy aura" The impact caused Qiao An to grow a strange eyeball on the back of his neck after he was born, which is also known as the "Different Eye Seal".
"My lord, I have a question." Joan frowned slightly, "'Aura of Pregnancy' can only explain the source of the innate seal, but it cannot explain the source of the acquired seal, such as your 'Different Hair Seal'. What did you get?"
"That's a good question, child. What I'm going to tell you next may make you feel unbelievable, even disgusting, but you have to remember that everything I say is true."
"The power and weirdness of Ekadna is beyond your imagination."
"In addition to the 'Aura of Pregnancy', Ekadna also has a more perverted ability, which can forcefully implant the strange fetus conceived in her body into the body of other organisms. You have to be forced to use the 'Mother of Monsters' as a pregnancy tool."
"The female surrogate can give birth to Ekadna's offspring normally. As for the male... because there is no organ dedicated to conceiving the fetus, it is a pity that the day the fetus matures, it will tear his belly and break free from the bloody abdominal cavity .”
"If Ekadna adds an extra 'mythical power' when she uses this abnormal ability, she doesn't need to touch the surrogate, just stare with her eyes, or use the 'advanced scrying technique' from the place she lives face, cast a glance at someone in the world, and that person can conceive her child."
"After listening to me say so much, you may feel baffled. Does Ekadna's bad taste have anything to do with the Holy Seal?"
"Son, I will tell you the truth now."
"The so-called Holy Seal is actually the 'embryo' implanted by the 'Mother of Monsters' Ekadna in other people's bodies. Whether you are born with the Holy Seal or someone like me who was implanted with the Holy Seal, of course It also includes those fanatics who worship Ekadna and regard the holy seal as a blessing from the goddess, they are essentially Ekadna's 'surrogate tools'."
Joan's hair stood on end when he heard it, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
He couldn't help touching the slightly hot, pulsating eyeball on the back of his neck, resisting nausea and fear, and asked Sir Custis for advice.
"You mean, the eyeball on the back of my neck and your hair are actually... developing 'fetus'?"
I wish you all a Happy New Year!
