Chapter 96: The Pope, above the peak? British Empire, London Church In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed since the death of the two cardinals. Seven days was enough time for the information to spread to every corner of the empire. Two cardinals who were regarded as gods by the people of the British Empire died. One of them is even known as the strongest red-clothed man in the empire! No matter which piece of information it is, it is enough to cause panic throughout the country. As a result, the entire British Empire was in chaos for a while, and many people packed up their belongings overnight and bought tickets to flee the empire. Once the order was disrupted, the crime rate in the already unstable British Empire soared in just a few days. However, what is jaw-dropping is that. Such a major event occurred, but the Holy See, which is responsible for managing the empire, did not take any action.
Instead of making any statement, they turned a blind eye to the crimes that were happening everywhere. The reason for this phenomenon is that the top leaders of the Vatican are also in a state of panic at the time. More importantly, their people are shouting for freedom every day. Isn’t the current situation the best symbol of a country’s “freedom”? Compared to the panic of the crowd, the remaining few people in the Twelve Red Clothes truly understood the seriousness of this matter... Vatican Headquarters At this time, in a tall meeting hall, ten figures wearing two-colored robes, nine in red and one in white, entered one after another from the door. In the center of the hall, there is an extremely huge oval mahogany table. At the head and sides of the table, thirteen thrones were placed in sequence. A figure dressed in a white robe and holding a golden scepter slowly walked to the main seat and sat down first. Immediately afterwards, nine figures in red robes sat down in their seats in order. After everyone was seated, three empty seats were left on both sides of the mahogany round table. The three vacant positions represent the first, ninth, and eleventh ranked cardinals. Yes, during these seven days, Klein and Kalina were not idle. After a search, they also captured the eleventh red-clothed man who was acting as a local tyrant. As for the nine cardinals who are still sitting here, it is not because they are lucky. Instead, they were all terrified. Before the news even reached the next state, several people had already started to run for their lives in unison. As a result, everyone didn't know where to escape to, and finally they all gathered at the headquarters of the Vatican. Therefore, when everyone was seated, the scene became eerily quiet. No one dared to speak first, because they all felt guilty and were afraid of being criticized by the person sitting in the first seat. In the Vatican's status system, there is only one person who is qualified to wear the white and gold robe.
pope! It would be fine if their Pope was just an ordinary man. They are all supernatural beings above SSS level. A mere ordinary person would not be enough to make everyone so afraid. Obviously, since he has the ability to make this group of top powerhouses so obedient. This seemingly old Pope is certainly no ordinary person. In fact, this old man has served as Pope of the Vatican for nearly two hundred years. That's right! It is a seemingly incredible two hundred years, far exceeding the limit of human lifespan! In the past two hundred years, under this Pope, even powerful cardinals have been replaced by eight generations. And only this Pope remains strong! You know, even for a top SSS-level psychic, the longest maximum lifespan is just over a hundred years! Although no one had ever seen this pope in action, this alone was enough to scare countless people away. If there was anyone in the world who knew the pope's true colors, the only one who knew the god of war who had ended the alien beast war single-handedly was him. Because before the final battle, the last person the God of War saw was the white-haired old man in front of him. No one knows what happened between the two of them that day, but since that day. The old man in front of him, who used to value power more than anything else, now only has the empty title of Pope. Not only has he never appeared in the public eye again, even the Vatican, which regarded him as his life's work, has never intervened. It was also from that day that the Holy See, which had always been hailed as the world's largest organization, gradually declined. "Boom!!!" Suddenly, a sharp and crisp sound echoed throughout the enclosed hall. A group of cardinals quickly put aside their other thoughts and looked up at the long table. The figure sitting in the first seat raised his head slightly, revealing a face with white hair and beard under the platinum hood. How to describe that face? In short, use all the words you can think of to describe old age. In addition, there was a wisp of duskiness visible to the naked eye in the empty pupils. If the body wasn't still moving, anyone would have thought it was just a corpse. "Today... you all gather here... what are you doing..." The extremely old voice was filled with weakness, and his intermittent breathing made people extremely worried that the Pope might suddenly die. But even so, the nine people present were still as quiet as quails, without any intention of looking down on others. When asked, everyone looked at each other, and no one wanted to speak first and lose face.
"If you have nothing to do... and disturb my sweet dreams... you know the consequences..." As soon as these words were spoken, the originally solemn hall was filled with an invisible sense of pressure that made people nervous. Everyone shuddered. Due to the absence of the first main seat, the second red-dressed person sitting in the second seat had to bite the bullet and speak. "Your Holiness, we don't want to disturb you unless we have no alternative." "Is such that……" "Some time ago, the First and Ninth Red Dressed Men died mysteriously almost at the same time." "According to our investigation, the people who killed them were actually two supernatural beings with SSS-level cultivation." "If that's all, it's fine. The rest of us can still handle it together." "But after restoration, during that battle, there appeared a being that we cannot explain!" "The one who attacked the two of them turned out to be a giant!" "A giant at least a hundred meters tall!" "This was also confirmed by the eyewitnesses who witnessed the attack on the eleventh red-clothed man!" "Not only that, someone has also recognized those two top SSS-level psychics." "After comparison, those two people were only..." a week ago. “A-level peak!!!” After the second person in red finished speaking, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva. On the other hand, the Pope sitting at the top seat still looked calm on the surface. But no one noticed that in those pupils covered by the hood... Trembling with excitement! (End of this chapter)
