From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 111 The Fake Li Kui Beats the Real Li Gui

"I understand. Take your things and go to the place. I'll go with you!" The voice on the phone revealed the man's true face.

Auxiliary Archbishop Eugene Fraser of the Archdiocese of Miami was the mastermind behind the Miami "indulgence" incident.

The cardinals of the entire archdiocese went to the Vatican some time ago and have not yet returned, which has given him the opportunity to seize power.

The other auxiliary archbishops were all incompetent and none of them could match him. Therefore, Eugene was very confident this time. He had already made arrangements with those big families and various financial groups to profit from selling indulgences.

These families and corporations would act as the initial leaders and guides, purchasing large quantities of indulgences and promoting his theories.

Then those unsuspecting people will follow suit and buy in, and in the end, of course, the big boss's money will be returned in full, while the people's money will be split 20/80!

They had done these things many times before, so they were very skilled at it and there were no problems. They were almost ready to collect the money.

Then they were given a real lesson by the "Solomon Church" from the slums.

This sect, whose origins are unknown, transformed itself from an obscure local cult into a massive crisis right before their eyes in just three days.

This sect is powerful, acts recklessly, and is extremely ruthless, carrying many dangerous elements.

Some people used three "atonement coins" to buy the life of a district deacon, while others used only two "atonement coins" to buy the head of a well-known tycoon.

These things were not secret at all; they were spread everywhere on the streets of the slums, which made Eugene feel a special sense of crisis.

He could not tolerate his "vote bank" being taken away by a random little sect, nor could he tolerate the other party acting with impunity in the city!
The Catholic Church is inherently less influential than Protestantism in this country. If it weren't for the fact that they are a single denomination, while there are more than three thousand Protestant denominations in this country, they would have been squeezed out long ago.

Of course, the most important thing is to make their "business" even more prosperous!
Eugene decided to take the initiative and eliminate this so-called "Solomonism." He wanted to see who dared to use the "Lord's" name to steal his business in Rome!
So Eugene, accompanied by a few of the church's trusted men, some bribed thugs, and some believers who completely trusted him, arrived at this little-known church.

"Your Excellency, this is the place!"

The thug in the overcoat handed two "atonement coins" to Eugene and said softly, "I've heard that only when you present these atonement coins will that mysterious Archbishop of Solomon appear. What do you think..."

Eugene sneered, "What's so interesting about me? Go see him! I want to see what kind of person is this who's stealing my business!"

The crowd swarmed around them, all armed with guns, some even carrying grenades and grenade launchers. In Miami, there was nothing they couldn't handle!

……

"You've arrived!" Inside the church, José, who had been keeping his eyes slightly closed, slowly opened them.

He was in good condition, full of energy and determined, but he also knew that it was just an illusion.

He is currently in a state of mental exhaustion and in extremely poor condition!
Over the course of those three days, he gradually forgot his ability to speak English and Spanish. Instead, a kind of obscure, ancient, and mysterious language frequently came out of his mouth.

José knew that this was the price of contact with the mystical; in the time that followed, he would completely forget these modern languages, leaving only the ability to communicate using ancient cuneiform script.

Near his temple, there was a tattoo-like mark, which was the contract he made with a demon named "Gabo".

However, he had no recollection of what Gabo had said, which was one of the costs of the contract.

Just like his hair has turned a little whiter now, the price of gaining extraordinary power is far greater and more terrifying than he imagined.

But José had no regrets. As a low-level con artist, he had experienced the feeling of having great power, the intoxication, the haze, and the exhilaration that could make anyone lose their way.

He was no exception; he no longer wanted to exchange "atonement coins" for money. Having seen fragments of the future, he had even greater ideals.

According to the "contract," he can gain more knowledge as long as he completes his tasks.

The task was simple: kill God's followers.

This task is far too easy. Jose goes out for a walk and kills a hundred people, and at least eighty-five of them are believers! This is America, the nation founded by the Puritans, a true land of believers!

So he came up with a good idea: to offer "atonement coins" as a reward. In this way, he could continue to amass wealth while also increasing the mystique of his sect and making believers feel a stronger sense of belonging.

Of course, the contract can also be completed incidentally.

Now, with just two moves, he has already gained more than double the number of followers and a huge reputation throughout the lower rungs of Miami!

As for the people he killed, unsurprisingly, they were all "targets," allowing Jose to enjoy a pleasant upgrade and gain the opportunity to continue strengthening himself.

But today, he didn't continue to "take orders," but stayed here because he knew that someone would come to him.

The person who came to his door was none other than the "Auxiliary Archbishop" he knew very well, Eugene Fraser, who had guided him to come up with the idea of ​​"Indulgence Coins," which made José even happier!
This guy is the Auxiliary Archbishop of this Catholic Archdiocese, a true "servant of God." José couldn't even imagine what kind of promotion he would receive from the contract if he killed him!
For him, killing the other person wouldn't be difficult, but as a Floridaer, he didn't want to kill him so easily.

He foresaw things much further into the future, and this bishop before him was just the right bait!

Thinking of this, José waved his hand, and countless bricks flew up automatically, hiding him among them.

"Boom!" Just then, the door was kicked open by two priests. This group of people, who were even dressed in the robes of the clergy, pointed their guns at the entire space and searched every corner of the room.

“Your Excellency Archbishop, there’s no one here!” the priests’ voices rang out, much to Eugene’s disappointment as he walked behind.

"Nobody here? I came here with the indulgences to exchange them, and now you're telling me nobody's here?" Eugene walked into the church, looked at the dilapidated decorations around him, and raised his hand in disappointment. "Then smash this place to pieces. I don't want this place to become their meeting point!"

"Smash it?" The pastor was taken aback. "But... this is a church!"

“It’s an abandoned Protestant church, not even one of our Catholic churches, so we can’t attack it?” Eugene frowned. “I think we can attack it, so go ahead and attack!”

"If you won't fight, I will!" As a powerful bishop, Eugene was incredibly arrogant. He had never been a well-behaved person, otherwise he wouldn't be openly selling indulgences in this era.

The indulgences of Catholicism were abolished by Pius V long ago; his actions were truly defying the world's will!

The two priests had no choice but to exchange a glance and finally picked up their submachine guns and opened fire on the church!

The bullets shattered the image of the Virgin Mary beside the church, as well as the surrounding murals, glass, and some small crosses, the crisp sounds echoing throughout the church.

"Alright, let's leave here and find his location!" Eugene nodded in satisfaction as he watched this scene, and then headed out.

“Are you really Catholics? You’re even more ruthless than I am at destroying this church! Isn’t this blasphemy?” Jose’s voice came from beside the three of them.

Upon hearing the voices, Eugene immediately fired at the location, but only hit a brick wall.

The brick wall slowly slid away, revealing the white figure inside. José said with a smile, "Since you're here, don't be in such a hurry to leave!"

With a wave of his hand, countless stones flew up, forming a sturdy defensive line behind them, allowing them to see the astonished gazes of those outside before the stone wall was sealed off!
That was their way back, but now it's blocked by bricks and stones!

As the three fell silent, He Sai's voice rang out again, stiff and rigid: "Didn't you come to see me? What are you doing backing away?"

……

"A Vatican combat squad with guns fighting a demon's messenger, and a real dark wizard? What a misinterpretation!" This scene amused Bai Yang.

According to the original concept, or the most basic direction of a story, the Vatican should represent the "mysterious" and "extraordinary" side.

José, the ambitious figure chosen by the lower classes, gangsters, and all sorts of poor people, should be the one holding the gun.

However, in this peculiar environment, the positions of the two sides suddenly became misaligned.

The members of the Vatican, who preach about the crisis of the supernatural, fight with weapons. José, who is actually a lower-class person, possesses real supernatural power. Isn't this a case of "the fake fighting the real fake"?
