From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 218 If you see evil, then let your anger descend.

Of course, Lasinger could not know all of this. All he knew was how shocking the tragic scenes he had witnessed along the way were!

In the Middle Ages, starvation was rampant, and human bones littered the ground.

His church is in northern France, but his goal is Avignon in southeastern France.

The story of Avignon is clearly recorded in the history documented by the Papacy, as well as in the secret document he found with Pope Mario.

That was Clement VI's farewell, and also the beginning of a complete decline in the faith of the Papacy.

In that story, the Black Death was not the key; the key was the rebellion, the demonic crisis, and the dark counter-offensive that accompanied the Black Death!
This resonated with Lasinger, so he wanted to take this opportunity to go to Avignon to see if there were any similar traces, and he also looked forward to meeting the Pope of this world, Clement VI.

If there are no demons in this world, then will the decline of the Papacy really be due to the Black Death?

If given the chance, he could go and save the Vatican headquarters and perhaps save the world.

Unfortunately, this idea was destroyed during his journey.

Just by walking on this land, Lasinger understood why Jesus and Moses had such compassion for those who suffered from disaster!

Lasinger is not the kind of man who sits in a church and judges situations based on imagination; he is a "liberation theology" missionary who can go into the jungle with Mario.

He lived through the most chaotic years in South America, the great crises in Bolivia and Colombia, and the era of war and turmoil!
Even compared to that apocalyptic era, the scene before him was enough to fill this veteran combatant with fear and terror!
Because before him lay the terrible reality of a massive plague of death!
Walking on the street, you see no pedestrians, only the skeletal remains of fallen bodies and swarms of rats everywhere; walking in the city, you see no cityscape, only stinking streets, hurried crowds, and corpses being carried out from time to time…

People walk down the street, coughing, facing the horrified faces of others, and then suddenly collapse, becoming corpses in the street, while cows that were once considered treasures can roam freely in the streets...

In many parts of the city, there was no sign of human beings, only the lingering stench and the occasional stench of corpses. This terrifying scene made Lasinger feel as if he had arrived at some kind of special apocalypse!

The scene outside was even more shocking!
Farmland lay fallow and desolate, leading to famine; factories shut down, commerce stagnated, and the once bustling markets fell silent; in shops, items that were usually snapped up were now ignored…

Everyone was running around haphazardly, afraid to stop, lest they be unable to walk anymore and become corpses on the ground.

In this situation, Lasinger, walking on the road, became an anomaly.

Because he was healthy, upright and clean, with no foul odor on his body, only a fair complexion and near-perfect features!

This is something rarely seen and difficult to accept in Europe, where people don't bathe.

Those crazy people even directly targeted him, calling him an "apostle of the devil." They argued that only people who bathe regularly could be so clean, and that his cleanliness meant uncleanliness, perhaps even the plague he brought!

The compassionate bishop, slandered by this group of ignorant people, became "a vessel for witches".

This is a trial of Lasinger by crazed "trialists" on the streets of Paris, and their reason for doing so is simply because Lasinger is explaining to some survivors in the city how to isolate the virus.

The church's influence in this era is still astonishing. The clothes he wears and the cross on his chest have become a source of hope for ordinary people, but also a thorn in the side of some thugs.

They took Lacinella to the streets of Paris and put him on trial on charges of "witch possession."

Soon, the ignorant people joined the accuser in declaring him guilty, and the crowd prepared to tie him up and burn him at the stake!
This made Lasinger feel a pang of sorrow... People in this world won't drink a sip of hot water or take a hot bath, yet they use this firewood to harm innocent people!
There are no supernatural powers in this world, so there can be no demons or witches. Therefore, Rasinger knew very well that these people's actions were for their own selfish purposes!
Lasinger suddenly understood why Jesus had such an attitude on the cross; he was compassionate, not angry.

Lasinger was the same; he understood the true meaning of his coming into this world, his connection with the Lord had not disappeared, his faith endured, and therefore the commandments of a "bishop" still remained with him.

So all the rioters, spectators, and street participants—fearing infection yet still eager to kill the so-called "source of the virus"—roared with fanaticism upon seeing the middle-aged priest from the north. Lasinger wasn't angry; he only felt sorrow, sorrow that these people, who should have been devout believers, were dying in the Black Death crisis because of ignorance and being fooled!
The Black Death was no joke; it was a terrible crisis that swept across Europe and caused the deaths of 2500 million people!
Lasinger felt only pity, only regret, only a little disappointment.

So, under everyone's watchful eyes, he broke free from the arms of the two men who had captured him, but instead of running away, he took his cane, sat down in front of everyone, opened the Bible in his hand, and softly said:
“He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities…The Lord laid on him the iniquity of us all.”

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."

He recited these words and deeds of Jesus from the Old and New Testaments, feeling as if he had truly touched upon Him, truly come into contact with His thoughts and beliefs.

But he was not Jesus Christ; he was Lasinger, a cardinal who had just become a saint, so his choice seemed all the more radical!
He was reciting words from the Bible, but to the bewilderment of the crowd, he suddenly looked up and began reciting something new:
"Eternal Father, Lord of the thrones of the heavens!"

Your holy name is awesome, Your righteousness is established in heaven.

Now, evil festers like a festering sore:
The blood of the believers seeped into the stone slab.

The golden crown of lies defiles the sanctuary.

The treacherous laugh of the one who broke the covenant pierces the heart of the lamb!

This kind of prayer did not attract many listeners, because people in all the churches had prayed countless times to fight the Black Death, but to no avail!

But this time, they encountered true messengers of God, saints, bishops, and missionaries!

Lasinger wasn't going to joke around with them; he immediately channeled his power, summoning the light to descend!

And so, amidst everyone's astonished gazes, the bishop, surrounded by everyone, was about to experience his true moment of glory!

"Holy! Holy! Holy!"
Please pull the sword of judgment from the flames of the cherubim:

Cut through the fat of falsehood,
Shatter the blasphemer's gums.

Cleanse the stinking ditches with the fire of sulfur!

The cane in his hand, illuminated by this light, transformed into a longsword that seemed to be burning with holy fire. The white flames scorched in his hand and flickered in the eyes of every believer!

Those "villains" who were shouting the loudest are now the ones with the weakest legs!
After all, they were just using the name of "the Lord" to carry out their plans of killing and plundering. But now, the Lord's messenger has really come and has become the "sinner" they have slandered. What will be the outcome for them?

No one knew, and no one cared, because the fervor of those present almost devoured everything!

A light flashed in their eyes, and a special feeling arose in their hearts. They seemed to have finally found the salvation they had been waiting for!

Some people even knelt on the ground, crying and shouting, "You've finally come! You've finally come! Lord, you haven't forgotten your believers after all!"

These people went from being the biggest accomplices to the most devout believers, while Rasinger stood up with his sword and stood before those villains who took pleasure in killing and torturing people and profited from it!
"Suffering is God's megaphone, used to awaken a slumbering world, but repentance is redemption amidst punishment, a hope for the morning dew of turning back!"

He said, “If anyone repents, lilies will sprout from the ground; but if anyone does not repent, they will need the baptism of fire to be cleansed!”

"If you see good, make a promise; if you see evil, be angry!"

He swung his longsword down at these thugs!
