From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 256 The Vatican: Touch my people? (Bonus Chapter 48 for Monthly Tickets)

Maung Dan Min's prayers were not loud, but they still reached the ears of some people, such as Angus, who was sitting quietly in the church.

Angus has always been a very mysterious figure, whether in the world, in the Vatican, or in the eyes of Bai Yang.

Because he was the first truly extraordinary person in the world, and not just any extraordinary person who received energy or divine power, but one who relied on faith and figured out how to use it himself.

That is why, even though he has received the precepts of a bishop, he is different from most of the extraordinary beings in the Papacy. He can see things that many people cannot by relying on the cross on his chest.

"Lord! Do you see? I am willing to offer my life as a sacrifice so that this land may once again shine in glory..."

At that moment, a whisper from the Far East reached Angus's ears, causing him to pause in his prayers!
The next second, the cross that sprang up on his chest displayed a complete scene in front of him.

The image shows a Southeast Asian man whispering in a low, damp, and bloody prison.

"Lord!" Angus made the sign of the cross, let out a horrified sigh, and then began to think about where this had happened!
A man who can appear before you during a prayer must be among the most devout, without needing to be questioned.

"Get me into the governor's office!" After thinking for a moment, Angus decided to ask someone directly. He had just returned to Los Angeles to rest and think about his next move, but he encountered this situation, so he was naturally furious!

Who are these people from, daring to arrest such a devout believer? Do they really think the Vatican is too weak to wield a sword?
The people from the governor's office arrived quickly, or rather, they weren't from this area, but rather an ordinary-looking man who would be instantly indistinguishable from a stranger in a crowd.

He shook hands with Angus very warmly. "Cardinal Angus, I am a retired CIA officer, a director mainly involved in foreign affairs. Your Excellency the Secretary of State thinks I might be able to help with your questions!"

"Hmm! Welcome!" Angus could smell the blood on the man and the gloomy aura he disliked, but he was no longer the small-town priest, but a cardinal and regional governor of the Catholic Church in America. He nodded slightly and drew a circle of light in front of the man.

Within the aperture was the scene he saw, and the people kneeling within it!
Upon seeing the prison, the man froze. "Your Excellency, who is this person...?"

“A believer praying to the Lord, and I received this message!” Angus didn’t think it was a message from the Lord; instead, he felt it was a special kind of telepathy, and he was helping the Lord share this burden!
This should be the Pope's task!

Thinking about this, Angus felt he would have to make a phone call to His Majesty Mario later!
However, the man's change in expression was clearly visible to him, which made Angus curiously turn his gaze towards him. "Looks like you recognize this place?"

“Hmm!” Facing Angus, whom even the President had to treat with caution and the Governor had to appease, the man did not have the sense of superiority of an “overseas emperor” and quickly said, “If I’m not mistaken, this should be a dungeon in northern Myanmar. Many prisons are of this type. If you need to determine what place it is, I may need to ask some people!”

Angus didn't hesitate at all. "What's happening here is also related to you, right?"

"Over the past few decades, many organizations around the world have been associated with the CIA, but our President has reclaimed a lot of power, so this place can only be considered a place where we used to work!"

The man's words made Angus relax slightly. It was good that they hadn't intervened so early; they would be able to obtain more information.

If this group of people were still running this kind of place, then they would have a lot more people to clean up this time!

Yes, of course he's going to purge people. Anything he can get me to know is definitely big, and might even be related to certain interest groups!
However, Angus wasn't afraid. If he were truly afraid, he wouldn't have chosen to clean up churches across America. During this time, the various attacks he suffered almost never stopped!

This is America, a country of capitalism. As long as there's enough money, they wouldn't hesitate to fire a shot at even God to test his worth!
But those who fired the shots and those behind the scenes have now become his achievements. There are even rumors that when Angus ascends to the throne one day, he will become the new "Iron-Blooded Pope" and begin his era of iron-fisted rule.

"Cardinal, I will have someone investigate thoroughly, and we should have all the information by today at the latest!"

Before leaving, the man patted his chest and made a promise to Angus.

Angus immediately called Pope Mario:

“I heard that prayer too, Cardinal Bennett, don’t be too nervous!” Mario chuckled, comforting him. “Since the Lord’s will allows you to hear it, it means you were meant to hear it, that’s all!”

“Yes, I understand, Your Holiness!” Angus said softly. “Then this time, let George go! He wields the saint’s sword and should do what a saint should do!”

“Very good!” Mario nodded. “You take charge of this matter. He goes to the front lines to do what he’s supposed to do, and we’ll investigate this matter thoroughly!”

"If there are other people involved..."

Angus immediately shouted, "Holy War, holy! No one can blaspheme the faith of the Lord, and no one can arbitrarily decide the life or death of sheep, not even the other sheep!" "If those who lead this disaster are shepherds..." Mario's words followed directly, "then let the judgment of the Inquisition be the last note before their destruction!"

This pope's words carried much more weight. The expansion of the Vatican, the establishment of the Knights Templar, and the growth of their power all contributed to the Papacy's confidence.

So he gave Angus his final command, which was a special prayer:

Not for the blood-stained flag to fly, not for the crown to shine,

It is for the captives to be released, and for the blind to see the morning star;
To find the father's home for the orphans, and to clothe the city of weeping with the oil of joy;

Charge! Towards that fallen tower, towards that abyss that devours souls—

Until the ends of the earth kneel in worship, and every knee confesses, "Jesus is Lord!"

“Angus, let those who disobey obey; let the lawless be obeyed; let the disobedient be punished; let the rebellious be reformed; and let the blasphemer die by the sword of the angels!”

“Your Majesty, that is certainly the case!” Angus replied, hung up the phone, and then dialed George Stasi, who was far away in Washington.

“George, this is Angus, the Lord needs you!”

“I am always ready to be called by the Lord, anytime, anywhere!” George’s voice was full of energy. “Where do you need me to spread the Lord’s glory?”

"Northern Myanmar, Kachin!"

……

"Excellent, excellent! Our substantial investment in them has not been in vain!" Bai Yang nodded in satisfaction at the Vatican's swift response.

It must be said that people who have seen a lot are different; Angus and Mario's handling of the situation and their political acumen are truly outstanding.

This was also a test for Bai Yang, namely, that he would no longer achieve his goal through his own miracles, but would instead operate through the mechanisms of the Papacy itself.

If the Vatican's approach is successful this time, it may be able to continue implementing this model in the future.

After all, we can't just wait for him to manifest himself forever; these sects need to establish their own mechanisms for maintaining order.

If the two don't handle things well, Bai Yang might replace them. Now, he's starting to look forward to seeing what special performance George, the man wielding the Sword of St. George, will deliver in that land of sin.

At the same time, Alvin also brought him new information about Buddhism:

"Your Majesty, the Buddhists in this country are quite remarkable!"

"How so?" Bai Yang asked curiously.

"The Buddhist tradition in this country is incredibly devout. Over 89% of the population are Buddhists, and they have a powerful faith that even extends to the military, forming the aristocratic class of this nation..."

"The aristocratic class? That's quite shocking... I wonder what kind of expression Buddha or Siddhartha would have had if they heard that?"

"This is a Buddhist kingdom in disguise... Buddhism is not a belief, but a tool for rule!"

Bai Yang made his judgment!

P.S.: I'm done writing, time to go to sleep. See you guys tomorrow!
