章 473: 472. Secrets Uncovered, Yet Mystery Intensifies

"The first Pope?!" exclaimed Sylvester, his voice echoing through the temple. "Your soul is trapped here?"

The ghostly figure stopped in front of Sylvester, gazing silently at him as if considering something. No words were spoken for a long while.

"An ambitious killer, a deceiver—alas, I believe that is what it takes to achieve what I could not. Sylvester Maximilian, you have been chosen by the heavens, fate, and destiny to inherit my will and knowledge!" declared the ghost of the first Pope.

Sylvester was smart enough to deduce that already, given that he had crossed the Tribulation Path. However, what he didn't understand was why the Pope's ghost was present. Moreover, he recalled the various strange clues that the First Pope had left behind in various places, such as the carvings on the Soul Tree in the Holy Land and the underground castle beneath Sphinx Town.
