Jimmy was also helpless, how did things come to this?
In the current situation, he could only follow what Father White said, he couldn't do much else. As mentioned earlier, he had no way to force his way out directly; refusing would bring more trouble. They belong to the Archdiocese of New York. Unless Jimmy decided to leave here and live in seclusion somewhere, he would always be found by those they could influence.
Jimmy unbuttoned his suit, took out two 1875 pistols from his holster and placed them on the altar, followed by the Glock on his right waist, the dagger given to him by Father Rodney on his belt, and a Mafia switchblade in his pants pocket. These were all the weapons he carried with him, and as for bullets, he didn't find it necessary to take all of them out.
Father White: "Alright, now you only need to recite the Lord's Prayer, and leave the rest to us."
Jimmy nodded, glanced at the Jesus statue above, then lowered his head and began to recite: "Our Father who art in heaven..."
The Lord's Prayer is one of the most commonly used prayers, and Jimmy had read the Bible specifically to memorize it to perform a little better. Now it was just perfect to use it.
Father White gestured to the surrounding priests, and six priests including Father Rodney gathered around, encircling Father White and Jimmy. They also began to recite the prayer, but only Father White was different; he opened the Bible in his hand, placed his right hand on it, and began to softly chant another prayer.
Jimmy quickly noticed something unusual. The feeling of being confined, similar to before, appeared again. A circle of energy began to surround his entire body, as if he had sunk into a pool. Of course, it wasn't as if he couldn't breathe like in water, but he could still feel the pressure change around his body.
At first, it was just a feeling of confinement, but soon he realized this power was starting to seep into and compress his body. He could clearly feel his body's autonomous resistance, as if competing for control. This was a capability he had never experienced before. Jimmy had never been able to actively trigger his body's resistance mechanism; he mostly only used his Heart Eye Ability, which only gave sensations to his brain and eyes.
When he initially merged with the Black Rainbow, the mental impact was so strong that he passed out, and he didn't actually remember how his body reacted at that time. The energy influx he felt now was his first experience, and his entire body was filled with a numb, compressed sensation, extremely uncomfortable and painful.
Jimmy's recitation of the Lord's Prayer began to tremble and shake, and if it weren't for his forcible control, he might not have been able to continue.
He attempted to mobilize the resisting force within his body, but with little success. After all, he had never done it before. Finally, something seemed to happen in his head, and soon a cool sensation emerged from top to bottom. Though it wasn't fast, it gradually covered his entire body. The energy that had been disorderly pressing against him suddenly began to pass smoothly through his body. The energy entered and then dispersed, his body's trembling gradually stopped, there was no more compressive feeling, and he even felt a very comfortable sensation.
The sense of confinement suddenly eased greatly. Jimmy's hands, which had been crossed and held in front of his chest, could now move. When he finished reciting the Lord's Prayer, he crossed himself with his right hand, then looked up and activated his Heart Eye Vision; his ability was fine. The environment around the church remained identifiable, and he could also see a dense energy surrounding himself. This energy appeared just like the one that emerged during Father Rodney's exorcism but was much denser.
He turned to look at the others, and each person had energy swirling around them. He could also see places on their bodies with abundant energy, and the place with the most concentrated energy was actually the Old Bible in Father White's hands. This Bible was certainly something extraordinary, far stronger than any equipment on the others.
He observed the shining objects of energy on the priests, most of which were equipment. Jimmy then looked at the ring on his right hand and was now certain that Father White had good intentions when he gave it to him. This ring was reacting with the surrounding energy, emitting a light similar to the one from the Bible in Father White's hands, although much fainter. Jimmy could even feel energy converging into the ring, though the amount was very small.
Taking the Cross Pendant given to him by Father Horton from his neck, it too was emitting a faint glow. It seemed these were of the same origin as the surrounding energy. How could he have so many great things?
The Cross Pendant given to him by Father Horton had not exhibited any anomalies until now. Father Rodney had once said that, if not for the Cross Pendant, he might have been tainted by something unclean. Later, Rodney even helped him process it again. Looking now, Father Rodney was right; the Cross Pendant might indeed have protected him without him realizing it.
Putting away the Cross Pendant, Jimmy looked again at the weapons on the altar. The Glock and Mafia switchblade showed no reaction, but the dagger from Father Rodney reacted with faint energy, similar to his ring. As for his two 1875 pistols, they were a bit different. They didn't seem to shine with energy, but upon careful observation, in this environment rich with energy, a lot of it seemed to flow into the 1875 pistols without any external manifestation. It was like a sponge placed in water — could these two guns be turning into Holy Relics?
