427: Chapter 426 Superpower Awakening!

Professor Disser bowed respectfully, his humble posture as if he wanted to embed his body into the earth.

"Ascetic Professor Disser, greets the Bishop."

Professor Disser's voice trembled with endless piety and awe.

"May the Lord's glory shine upon you and me."

Under the shade of the trees, Nakamura Inao nodded slightly. His gaze was calm and profound, completely ignoring the mottled mud and filth on Professor Disser.

He stepped forward composedly, his movements gentle and solemn, as if treating the most precious treasure in the world, and gently stroked Professor Disser's forehead.

"Professor Disser."

Nakamura Inao's voice slowly sounded under this tranquil tree shade.

Carrying an ethereal and sacred charm.

"The Lord has issued a holy decree."

"As a pious pilgrim of Saint City, you have practiced asceticism for 6723 kilometers, experienced 42 life-and-death dangers... under the guidance of the Lord, you finally arrived at the Holy Land with difficulty."

Upon hearing this, scenes of those difficult days and nights flashed through Professor Disser's mind, and his heart felt a bit bitter.

"I announce that you have passed the Lord's first test."

Nakamura Inao's words continued to come.

Like the sound of nature.

"Next, I will act as your guide to formally lead you in holding the Saint Ritual."

This sentence hit Professor Disser's heart like a heavy hammer.

Making him, who had experienced thousands of hardships.

Unable to help but shed two lines of hot tears.

The tears slid down his weather-beaten cheeks.

Dripping onto the ground beneath his feet.

"Professor Disser."

Nakamura Inao's gaze became even more solemn.

"Only the most pious pilgrims have the opportunity to pass the test of the Saint Ritual."

"If there are still distracting thoughts of worldly desires in your heart during the Saint Ritual, that will be the greatest defilement to the Lord."

"At that time, the Lord will descend the most severe divine punishment, and even your soul will be doomed forever."

"Do you have confidence?"

"If you feel that your faith in the Lord is not sincere enough, you can also refuse to participate in the Saint Ritual."

Professor Disser's expression tightened slightly, and his thoughts quickly fell into chaos.

Those past sufferings.

Everything paid for the sake of faith.

Flashed through his mind like a carousel.

After pondering for a moment.

The conviction in his heart became increasingly firm.

Not long after.

Professor Disser said resolutely.

"My faith in the Lord is as fiery as a raging fire!"

"I have also used my piety to win the Lord's protection and blessing."

"Bishop, please hold the Saint Ritual for me."

Professor Disser's voice was firm and powerful.

Echoing in the air.

Nakamura Inao bowed his head and kissed Professor Disser's forehead.

"God bless you."

"Follow me."

...

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled spots of light.

As if paving a sacred path for them.

Nakamura Inao led Professor Disser through this quiet and mysterious forest.

A breeze blew gently, and the leaves rustled.

The two turned left and right.

Professor Disser's footsteps were slightly staggering.

But he always followed closely behind Nakamura Inao's figure.

Soon.

The two came to the foot of a mountain.

With their arrival, a passage appeared abruptly on the mountain wall.

As the passage opened wide, gusts of cold wind blew out from inside.

The cold wind carried a damp and stale smell, making the ragged Professor Disser shiver.

Looking at the dark and chilly mountain passage in front of him.

Professor Disser suddenly started to mutter in his heart.

This... is the Holy Land?

Before this, he imagined what the Holy Land looked like every day.

It must be magnificent, filled with holy sounds everywhere, and shrouded in holy light everywhere.

Who would have thought...

The entrance to this Holy Land is actually such a gloomy and cold passage?

However, just at this moment.

Nakamura Inao on the side spoke up.

"Professor Disser."

"Seeing is not necessarily believing. If the heart is sincere, the belief will never waver."

Nakamura Inao's voice sounded exceptionally clear.

As if carrying a power that penetrates the human heart.

Nakamura Inao's words were like a heavy bell.

Making Professor Disser's heart shake violently.

"Thump!"

Professor Disser knelt straight on the ground.

The stones on the ground made his knees ache, but he didn't notice it at all.

Professor Disser kept kowtowing towards the passage.

His forehead collided with the ground, making a "thudding" sound.

He was chanting words in his mouth.

"Lord! I have sinned! I repent! ..."

Every repentance came from the bottom of his heart.

Carrying deep self-reproach and guilt.

Watching this scene.

Nakamura Inao did not make a sound.

Just waiting silently.

His eyes revealed a trace of approval and compassion.

A full ten minutes passed.

Professor Disser slowly stood up.

Ignoring the blood on his forehead, the blood flowed down his cheeks like red tear stains.

"Bishop."

"The Lord has forgiven my sins."

"Please continue to lead the way."

Professor Disser's voice was weak.

But full of firmness.

Nakamura Inao reached out.

After wiping the blood off for Professor Disser with his white cuffs.

He led Professor Disser into the passage.

In the darkness, it seemed as if countless eyes were peeping at them.

The two walked slowly in the long and narrow passage.

Walking about a few hundred meters.

Finally arriving at an internal space in the belly of the mountain.

What was surprising was that there were several elevators here.

The metal doors of the elevators reflected a faint light.

Forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding mountain walls.

However, Professor Disser's face was very calm.

Having brainwashed himself with repentance and prayer, at this moment, no matter what incongruous things he encountered, there wouldn't be any other thoughts in his heart.

His gaze was firm and focused.

As if everything in the world could not shake his belief.

The two took the elevator straight down.

The slight shaking of the elevator made Professor Disser's heartbeat accelerate slightly.

"Thirteenth floor..."

Through the light from the elevator door crack.

Professor Disser counted the floors silently.

The elevator door opened, and various precision instruments came into Professor Disser's eyes.

Many staff members were busy inside, their figures weaving between the instruments, their expressions focused and serious.

At first glance, it was exactly like a large laboratory.

If it weren't for these people wearing gold and white religious robes.

Professor Disser almost thought he had broken into some research institute.

Just at this moment.

Seeing the two enter, everyone immediately stopped the tasks in their hands.

Saying in unison to the two.

"May the Lord's glory be with you and me!"

Professor Disser followed Nakamura Inao in a panic, returning the salute to everyone present.

"May the Lord's glory be with you and me!"

There was a hint of tension and excitement in Professor Disser's voice, as if he had found his organization.

After greeting,

Everyone continued to be busy with their work.

Nakamura Inao led Professor Disser.

Walking towards the inside of the "Holy Land".

"Professor Disser."

Arriving at a room door.

Nakamura Inao's voice broke the short silence.

"Half an hour later, I will formally hold the Saint Ritual for you."

"Remember what I told you before, you still have a last chance to regret it now."

"Bishop, no need to say more."

Professor Disser's gaze was as firm as iron.

"Good."

"Go and cleanse yourself and wait."

...

Nakamura Inao returned to the crowd.

A person stepped forward.

"Dr. Nakamura..."

Nakamura's eyes interrupted sternly.

"Call me what?!"

That person corrected hurriedly in a panic.

"Bishop... Bishop!"

Nakamura Inao scolded angrily.

"If you call it wrong one more time, participate in the Superpower Awakening experiment immediately!"

That person broke out in a cold sweat.

"Sorry Bishop, I know I was wrong..."

Nakamura Inao's expression softened slightly.

"And, remember."

"According to the Lord's holy decree, from now on, the Superpower Awakening experiment must be called the Saint Ritual."

"Do you understand?"

Everyone replied in unison.

"Follow the Lord's holy decree!"
