"I have left my trump card there."
The Pope remained calm, as though he had expected it. The Pope simply said, "Trump card, huh?
"It seems you haven't realized it yet." The Pope looked disappointed.
"Huh?" Rea frowned.
"Why do you think I chose them to handle you? They can handle unexpected situations more than anyone else in this world. That's why I sent them there. No matter what your trump card is, it will be useless. I trust them."
Rea felt chills down his spine. It didn't seem the Pope was bluffing. Besides, from everything he had shown so far, Rea knew the Pope was much smarter than he imagined.
There was no way he couldn't think of the possibility of his trump card. Yet, despite predicting what kind of trump card he had, the Pope still had the confidence to win.
It was as if he truly believed that Sera and the others were able to overco the challenge.
And what would happen if he managed to win? It would be disastrous for him.
He gritted his teeth, still believing he wouldn't lose to the Pope. He shouted, "Do you know what will happen if you execute ? The Holy Kingdom will be thrown into chaos. Besides, I have used a bit of my money for charity to improve my image. Without my money, there will be hundreds of thousands of people who will suffer because the Holy Kingdom will beco poor without ."
"Poor, huh? That's probably going to happen if we're not in this situation. The world is currently experiencing God's trial. However, all trials will turn into an unimaginable blessing that will lead to prosperity.
"The Holy Kingdom is poor? That's true if the world is normal. However, don't we have a gold mine out there? One that will probably not run out for hundreds, if not thousands, of years?" The Pope smiled.
"!!!" That was right. There was one thing he failed to consider. The mont the world was plunged into chaos by the ash cloud, the world had changed.
With the increase of aliens coming toward them, there would be more opportunity for them to make money. After all, they could simply sell many more cores. And that harvest was no less than ten tis the original harvest, which was more than enough for the national budget.
If this was any other kingdom, they couldn't do it. However, they were in the Holy Kingdom. The Holy Kingdom was the vanguard against the aliens.
The Pope had finally found the right ti. Without him, he could still make enough money from the aliens.
However, this strategy would definitely cost a lot of lives… or so it would have in the normal world. But Nathan had managed to create the magic weapon, which would reduce the casualty.
"You… You…" Rea couldn't believe that he had been outplayed completely by the Pope.
"For normal people… as well, as a normal human, I have nothing but praise for Nathan's achievent. But as a believer of God, God doesn't give you a challenge that you can't overco. Nathan's achievent is also his way of showing the path for to fix the Holy Kingdom, which is not contradictory.
"And to make my plan succeed for a more prosperous Holy Kingdom, you have to be removed. This will be my farewell, Bishop Rea. The ones who will accompany you to the execution ground won't be ."
Rea was trembling. He gritted his teeth before recklessly summoning his familiar. "Mammon!"
A big demon suddenly erged out of thin air, albeit several golden chains appeared right after and held him.
A six-winged angel manifested as the dark room brightened. The man had long golden hair and a mask that covered his eyes. In his right hand was a golden sword.
Next to him were two four-winged angels holding the chains.
"!!!" Mammon glanced back with sweat covering his body. "Michael…"
At the sa ti, the Pope had already reappeared in front of Rea as he grasped him by the neck, lifting up that overweight body a few centiters in the air.
"This is the end. Holy Decree, Evil, Disappear!"
A golden light erged from the Pope's body as nurous magic circles surrounded Rea. Rea gritted his teeth as he felt his strength gradually disappear. "You… Mammon!"
He called for his demon, but it was useless.
"Regret." Mammon glared at the masked archangel with his body split in two before disappearing.
"How dare you do this? If I manage to win today, I will definitely pay this humiliation back by tenfold. You can't kill , right? If you could kill , you would have visited a long ti ago and killed without showing any proof.
"This is why you, who have been following the path of light, are so slow. You are bound by the rules and not flexible at all."
The Pope smiled. "That is indeed true. However, this will be the end for you."
"No. This is not the end for . If you think Serafina can do anything to the orphanage, you're wrong. I have sent a man who is loved by a sin. You won't be able to defeat him!"
The Pope simply let him go and turned around as if he didn't care about it. "You can go now. A demon among one of the seven deadly sins, huh?"
The Pope was actually smiling slyly.
While it was true that Rea was good enough to dig up information about Serafina. There was one thing he wouldn't be able to find. It was Asmodeus.
Even though she was a corrupted saintess, having one of the deadly sins serving her would definitely harm her reputation. That was why he had been hiding this fact, even if he had to bury it under the earth.
And it was precisely at this mont.
This battle wouldn't be a fight between the light and dark. It was a battle between two of the sa sides.
The Pope muttered inwardly, 'Sotis, you have to deal poison with another poison.'
