Chapter 115 Extra - "The Bloody Pope"

#Boycott "The Bloody Pope"! !#
#This is the slander of the Holy See of Light!!! #

#The Elemental Church is the only orthodox one! #
Ever since the release of "Bloody Pope", a drama about the life of the second Pope of the Elemental Church, Pope Lilith II, the internet has exploded, with countless people supporting, criticizing, or expressing anger, sparking almost nationwide discussion.

Even other continents got involved. After all, with the rise of the Internet and the increasing power of intelligent translation software, there is no longer any barrier between continents.

Of course, what we are referring to here is the barriers in cultural exchanges. Barriers in other areas still exist.

"I thought it was a historical drama, but it turned out to be a mythological drama. And why is it classified as a serious drama? How come it starts with a group of witches taking advantage of the God of Light's slumber, poisoning and cursing them to destroy the entire Church of Light and establish the Church of the Elements.

Are the dramas in your Western Continent so wild?"

——IP East Continent. Country C. City F

This is slander, a slander by the Church of Light. Our Elemental Church's sacred texts clearly state that the God of Light has long since fallen, and along with him, the six archangels of the Kingdom of Light have also degenerated into man-eating demons. Our Elemental Church upholds justice, destroying the fallen Church of Light and restoring peace to the world.

[It was clearly those evil witches from your Elemental Church who took advantage of the slumber of our Light Church's God of Light to launch a sneak attack, deceiving the people and destroying the Light Church.]

You're right not to understand. Over a thousand years ago, the Church of Light was destroyed by the Church of Elements. After that, the Church of Light disappeared from the entire Western Continent for nearly eight hundred years. Until over two hundred years ago, a major upheaval within the Church of Elements shook its ruling position. The surviving Church of Light then allied itself with the nobles and the king.

Returning to the Western Continent, and competing with the Elemental Church, the Elemental Church now basically represents the interests of the common people and the working class, while the Light Church represents the interests of the aristocratic and bureaucratic class.

【Oh, then I stand with the Elemental Church. 】

This isn't a myth. This is exactly what's recorded in our history books. The Elemental Church was founded by the First Witch. The original core of the Elemental Church was also composed entirely of witches, and this power was passed down from generation to generation. However, during the reign of Pope 43, a great chaos arose within the Elemental Church. After the death of the current Pope, no one knew how the witches became witches.

Only the Pope knows how to become a real witch.

This secret is also passed down from generation to generation by the Pope.

Pope Elemental 43 died unexpectedly, leaving no legacy to his successor, or rather, being unable to do so. Furthermore, all popes never married or had children, much less passed on their legacy to future generations, so the secrets of witches vanished. Sixty years later, the youngest witch also died, and there were no more witches in the world, and that remains the case today.

Don't believe "The Bloody Pope." This is the Holy See of Light collaborating with those nobles to smear our Elemental Church. If you want to understand this history, read the book "Holy Pope Lilith." It's true.

[Oh, as a historian, I can guarantee that this drama is really fake. Although Her Highness Lilith, the Second Pope of the Elements, did have a reputation as a bloody witch among the people before she ascended the throne, and was indeed privately called the Bloody Pope by many people after she ascended the throne, that was all because she treated and killed many nobles fairly.

During her reign, nearly ten thousand noble families, large and small, were destroyed or declined because of her.

So no noble said anything good about her.

But from today's civilian historical perspective.

Lilith is truly a very good Pope!!]

[Alas, this explanation is terrible. To put it in terms that the Eastern Continent can understand, Pope Lilith is a Pope who has offended the vast majority of the aristocracy and bureaucracy.]

Historians generally believe that Pope Lilith was the core figure in the rise of the new nobility. If she hadn't destroyed so many of the old nobility, there wouldn't have been room for the new nobility to rise. Now, she's being banded together by all the nobility to slander her. It's truly chilling.

"No, isn't it really funny? What era is it now? There are still people who believe that witches are real?"

——IP East Continent. J Country. D County

"It's real. A witch community that's existed for over 800 years, how could it be fake? Most elemental churches still have elemental orbs enshrined in them, kind of like relics, leftover from cremation."

[This should be true, because even the Holy See of Light admits that witches do exist, and the Holy See of Light once massacred millions of witches.

It doesn't exist. Is the Holy See of Light going crazy?】

[Witches do exist, but the people of the Church of Light didn't kill witches at all. They killed ordinary civilian women. It is clearly recorded in the scriptures of our Church of Elements. They slandered ordinary women as witches and killed them, and then offered their souls to the Archangel.

The original witch received revelation and became a real witch.

Rise up in resistance and completely overthrow the Holy See of Light.】

"I took a look and I don't think there's anything wrong with what the Bloody Pope did. It's the filming that's problematic. The father embezzled disaster relief food, causing nearly a thousand people to starve to death. Then all the participants were hanged, and the daughter and others who were unaware were exiled along with him. Why is that? In this case, not wiping out the entire clan is a mercy!"

——IP East Continent. Country C. City N

[I think it's fine, but the nobles think it's a problem. It's probably because His Majesty the Bloody Pope didn't kill people ruthlessly enough, leaving too many noble remnants behind.]

[The daughter was unaware of the situation, so of course she should be innocent!]

[She may not have known about this, but this lack of knowledge doesn't affect the fact that she was spending the disaster relief funds her father had embezzled. Since she benefited from it, how can she claim to be innocent just because she didn't know about it? Of course, she must share the responsibility!]

If she were an illegitimate child, and her father abandoned her and her mother when she was born, or even before she was born, and she and her mother didn't receive a cent of child support, then if she was implicated and exiled, I would indeed feel innocent. But this person has enjoyed wealth and glory for over a decade, so how can she be innocent?

I really don't understand why so many people around me think the Bloody Pope is too cruel. It seems they are not the victims who starved to death.

[It should be His Holiness the Pope! ]

[It is said that during the reign of the Holy Pope, no guilty person could escape punishment, not even the king. In the past twenty years, three kings, fourteen princes, and two princesses were hanged. In addition, three archbishops of the Elemental Church and one cardinal were executed. Countless people were punished and exiled.

This is a fairness that cannot be compared with today!
Since her death, there have been people who have been constantly slandering her, and some have even fabricated rumors that the Holy Pope liked to drink human blood. It's really infuriating.

[Yes, there are now clear evidence of crimes committed by kings of several countries, including members of the royal family, but no one has arrested them, let alone tried them. Even the Elemental Church has become corrupt.

It's not as fair as it was back then.]

[I remember that since the establishment of the Church of Elements, there have been intermittent cases of kings or royal family members being hanged for crimes, but it has not happened again in the past hundred years. To be more precise, the Church of Elements no longer dared to do so after it lost the means to train witches.

So it is very likely that it is not the corruption of the Elemental Church.

But they no longer have the ability to do so.]

"Please, even if the Elemental Church really does have witches, so what? Can witches really stand up to rockets and cannons? Those kings and royal families who have been sidelined can't do anything bad. Most of the kings and royal families who haven't been sidelined have military power. Even if the Elemental Church really has witches, they can't be a match for them."

"I sincerely suggest that the Elemental Church quickly and at all costs, spend money to produce a TV series about Lilith that is even more exciting than 'The Bloody Pope'. Otherwise, as time goes by, the related memories will be deeply ingrained in people's minds, and everyone will really think that 'The Bloody Pope' is a real historical drama.

We in the East Continent are very experienced in this regard.

Many people now believe that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is official history, and that there really was a Hongjun Patriarch above the Three Pure Ones. This prehistoric novel is gradually becoming orthodox mythology!

——IP East Continent. Country C. City R

[Isn't Patriarch Hongjun the most powerful? ]

[The Taoist system has never acknowledged the existence of Hongjun Laozu. This is just a fabrication in the Investiture of the Gods.]

The most terrifying thing is when I talk about orthodox mythology. A large number of people will use things from prehistoric novels to say that I am wrong. It really makes me feel at a loss as to what to say!

Good news! The Elemental Church has already approved the project and is even planning to open the Temple of the First Witch for filming. Thank goodness, the Elemental Church is finally starting to refocus on film and television publicity. Lately, the Elemental Church has been a bit behind the times, practically being outclassed by the Church of Light. They're obsessed with the fact that witches are real, but these days, that's simply not important.

"I find it strange. How has the Elemental Church been able to control public opinion for the past eight hundred years? But how has it become so weak in recent years? Has it lost touch with the times?"

[They definitely haven't kept up with the times. What era is this? The Holy See of the Elements still has something like a cure-all in its scriptures. They're selling pills for strength. People used to be easy to fool, but not so easy to fool now!]

If it can cure cancer, who wouldn’t believe it?
But the key is that they can’t cure anything! 】

[It claims to cure all diseases, but the Elemental Church can't even produce a decent medical book.]

[It's so funny.]

Yes, the Elemental Church may have had some pretty good medical skills in the past, and compared to that era, they were pretty good. But medicine is so advanced now, even heart and liver transplants are no problem. Yet, they cling to past glory, refusing to make progress or even consider modifying their own canon.

It would be strange if they could gain any advantage in terms of public opinion.]
