From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 330 The Battle for the Saintess

At that moment, the entire world's intelligence systems knew about this news.

“Your Majesty, I heard this is a thought shared by you and Cardinal Angus? This… I don’t quite understand…” Andrea, standing beside Mario, couldn’t help but say, “I want to request permission to protect the Saintess…”

As a Roman, Andrea certainly understood what a "saint" meant.

Although he is a member of an exorcist family with family traditions, he is not required to observe any precepts.

However, he had recently encountered quite a few monastics in the Vatican and had communicated with them, clearly understanding the importance of this saint within the Catholic Church.

It could even be said that she was infinitely important, and no one in the Vatican could compare to her.

Because as long as she lives, even if the losses are heavy, the Holy See has an infinite future. The fact that this precept creates extraordinary beings without any side effects is terrifying!

“Because Caroline is a human being, an agent of God, not a tool to bear the commandments!” Mario said calmly. “She should go and see the world. She is the eye of God, the eye of Heaven. We cannot restrict her freedom!”

"The Lord is merciful and treats everyone equally; only in this way can she achieve the best growth!"

Hearing this, Andrea understood. "The Saintess hasn't grown up yet? She can still grow?"

“Yes, the Commandments of the Saintess are still lacking in many ways. There are no cardinals, no ascetics, no other two orders of knights, and no messengers of light…” Mario said. “The Vatican’s records describe the meaning of each commandment in detail, and the person who recorded these commandments was Joan of Arc!”

Upon hearing this, Andrea realized, "No wonder Joan of Arc was able to raise a devout army even under such terrible circumstances; perhaps she too has such a blessing!"

Then he started cursing, "Damn Englishmen, what have they done!"

This is obviously a criticism of Joan of Arc being burned at the stake by those heretics. It just goes to show that the seven-hundred-year friendship between England and France is not just for show.

“English?” Mario said casually, “The very beginning of Protestantism is about to end!”

He wasn't talking nonsense; looking at the letters in his hand from some of the largest Protestant churches in England, he realized that in an era where extraordinary forces were emerging worldwide and the Vatican was at the forefront, these Protestants couldn't possibly remain silent.

“The Protestants of the past were accepted by the Lord… but now, they have lost even their self-realization, so how can they expect believers to have faith?”

Andrea said that Protestantism was good at first, but when these people were no longer under the supervision of their superiors, they became worse because their desires and power were limitless.

"The Lord has descended, and His holy light will shine upon every land shrouded in shadow. What we need to do is to shepherd this chosen land for the Lord!" Mario said. "Let's go, Andrea, let's go to France and find the remains of Joan of Arc..."

……

The Vatican's almost nonexistent reaction prompted countries around the world to begin considering their options.

For example, in Buckingham Palace, the elderly King Charles looked at the MI6 director before him and angrily asked, "You mean, the supernatural power we found in Japan can't be sent to England?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The director's bald head was covered in cold sweat. He had just reported to the Prime Minister and now he had to explain to the King. Life was really tough for him.

"Their extraordinary powers are either related to local mythology or certain spirits and deities; one even needs to join their ranks to receive these extraordinary gifts... These things become weaker once they leave that land..."

Charlie was furious. "Isn't there any supernatural power that can take it away?"

“Yes, there is…” the bald bureau chief said, “It’s the power of Buddhism. Some monks who received Buddhist lineage returned to Japan from Calcutta and began to spread Mahayana Buddhism. They were able to take their power with them!”

Charlie stared at him. "I didn't know about this? Huh? Then why didn't you mention the extent of the suffering involved?"

Who doesn't know that Buddhism has power and can pass on its traditions? There's a Bodhisattva there!
Moreover, this power requires devout Buddhist followers, so how could such Buddhist followers be driven by them?

Furthermore, the rules of Mahayana Buddhism are far more stringent than those of other supernatural religions; compared to Mahayana Buddhism, even the rules of Catholicism can be considered mild.

After all, at least he doesn't abstain from meat, unlike the other person who immediately mentions "Pigsy" (a character from Journey to the West). "Hmm, wait a minute, did we just hear that the saintess has set out?" King Charles suddenly looked up at Prince William beside him.

“Yes, Father!” William quickly replied. “You also think what I said makes sense? That’s right. We can also convert to Catholicism. We also have Christian faith, so returning is a very normal thing.”

Charlie looked at his incredibly enthusiastic eldest son and felt a headache coming on. Converting to a different faith isn't something that can be done with just a few words. It involves countless interest groups and political maneuvering. It's not as simple as the other party thinks.
Even if the king himself were to change course, he might die a violent death the very next day. The power of the millennium-old sect is terrifying!

“We’ll talk about that later. Let’s discuss this saint first!” Charlie said directly. “Do you remember the story that was circulating before about the saint’s blessing?”

"This is not a story, Your Majesty!" the director exclaimed. This was his chance to shine. "Our agents have seen firsthand the videos of those bishops, deacons, and monks becoming Vindicators in the Vatican!"

Charlie glanced at him. "You guys have the nerve to say that. A bunch of agents were working for someone's family, only to find out later that they were already known. They got to use your labor for free!"

Upon hearing this, the bald bureau chief's expression darkened; this truly was a stain on their work.

There was nothing they could do; their people had already been kicked out, and the Vatican even sent someone to thank them for their work. It was a real slap in the face!
However, King Charles only mentioned this casually and quickly moved on, then said, "Since the saint is not in the church but outside, does that mean we also have the opportunity to contact her?"

"Can our pastor also receive her blessing and this commandment?"

Hearing Charlie's words, everyone around him was surprised. It seemed that... it might work?
“It should be possible, Your Majesty!” the bald bureau chief said slowly, then shook his head again. “How to do it, however, may require further discussion.”

"Discuss it? It's your bunch of foolish politicians' deliberations that have brought Great Britain down from the top to where it is now!" Charlie roared. "It's because of your procrastination that our country has fallen from the top!"

"You still need to discuss it? By the time you've finished discussing it, won't everyone else have already received their declarations? Macaron is as familiar with Rome as if it were his home now, and he's even started publicly opposing Golden Retriever! And you're still discussing it?"

In fact, this was indeed the period when King Charles held the greatest power. Due to the recent turmoil and resignations of the English prime minister and the overall political situation, Charles regained a certain degree of royal authority, which led to today's questioning.

"I don't care what you all discuss, just send your men out. I need to know the results as soon as possible!"

Charlie's words sent a chill down the bald chief's spine. He wanted to say that they had no one left—the Swedish, Icelandic, Calcutta, Burmese, Japanese...

These various incidents forced the already incredibly corrupt British civil service system to operate under pressure, and also put many departments that were already drawing salaries without working under them under heavy workloads.

But he dared not speak, for the man before him was not the prime minister who had colluded with him, but the king!

"Yes..." he finally said, and decided to resign immediately upon returning. He said that whoever wanted to stay in this lousy job could stay, but he was not going to do it.

Watching the man's departing figure, Charlie sighed. "Did you see William? These are the British officials... Nobody thinks about Britain, only about themselves..."

William seemed somewhat bewildered. "Father, is this really the situation we're facing?"

“Yes, that’s exactly the situation!” Charlie said. “Let’s get our people moving. We can’t trust these politicians. Besides causing trouble for us, all they can do is deceive the people into believing we haven’t fallen yet…”

England got moving, and as they got moving, so did all the Christian countries in the world.

They firmly believed that devout believers would receive pronouncements and precepts from the saint, and that would be their time to rise up.

"We too can believe in God, we too can love Heaven! We too can obtain these precepts!"

And this is exactly what Mario and Angus hoped to see: "Once you receive the commandments, you will become the Lord's help, and the Lord's help is the help of Catholicism!"

"This is a poisoned candy, but they have no choice but to eat it!"
