From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 387 Remember, the Lord has not abandoned you!

Paris, France.

Even though Macaron was overwhelmed by the government's dissolution, he was still keeping an eye on the situation here.

“Mr. President, our people have withdrawn from the Caribbean and are approaching the nearest port!” Macaron’s aide said slowly.

"What about our priest? What will happen to him?" Macaron could also see the situation on the scene. The numerous cameras on the ship provided crystal-clear images of the scene.

He could see the priest who had come from Paris leading a group of monks, blocking the way for those crystal-like monsters.

"No..." Macaron was heartbroken. This was the only one among the hundreds of bishops chosen by France to successfully obtain the power of "Commandment," and now he was going to his death...

“Your Excellency, this is something he has to do!” Just then, the man next to Macaron spoke up. He was also a bishop from the Nordic region and was now Macaron’s supernatural assistant.

Hearing the elderly bishop say this, Macaron was somewhat indignant. "This is clearly a problem caused by those ambitious people. Why should our people solve it? Even at the cost of their lives?"

That's what they're unhappy about. From beginning to end, wasn't this all caused by those people who wanted to gain supernatural powers?
America, in particular, is practically the originator of all trouble; most crises are related to her, which he finds unacceptable.

"Yes, this crisis still stems from human desires, just like countless crises many years ago... But that's just human nature!"

The old bishop said calmly, "Aren't we humans just a bunch of contradictory creatures? But it's precisely under these circumstances that human growth has occurred!"

Hearing this, Macaron looked at the group of believers on the screen who were risking their lives to buy time and asked softly, "So, the crisis caused by humanity is to be resolved by the Vatican?"

“If it were just a minor crisis, the Vatican would certainly not mind teaching them a lesson—but this time, it is a crisis that could endanger the entire human world. His Holiness the Pope has already issued his orders, and we must carry them out!”

The old bishop said very firmly, "The Lord has left this world to us, and when crisis strikes, we should protect everything in this world!"

"Even at a heavy price?" Macaron asked.

“Even if it costs us everything! That is the price we should pay. It is our duty to atone for the sins of the lamb!” The old bishop’s words were resolute. “They will be reunited in heaven. You don’t need to worry about their safety. The Lord will not abandon any believer!”

This almost obsessive faith left everyone present speechless. Only now did they truly realize what kind of changes had taken place within the Vatican!
This change reminds many people of Eastern Europe a hundred years ago, of that behemoth that lived in the world by faith!

In their eyes, the bishops and monks on the ship were fading away, disappearing from the world little by little.

This group of people have driven themselves to their doom, all for the sake of buying themselves a pitiful little bit of time!

"Is this the Vatican now?" Macaron couldn't believe it. He couldn't imagine how the greedy, inefficient Catholic Church, which only knew how to make money, had suddenly become what it is now.
They possess extraordinary power, they have a vast faith base, and now they even have a group of believers willing to die for them!

This kind of Vatican is simply terrifying!

……

"They sacrificed everything just to buy a little more time... Lord, please forgive them, it's all my fault..." Mario's voice slowly rang out. He had also seen this scene, and he even knew the reason for these people's deaths.

The priests, who had only recently received the precepts, were sent out by him not long ago, but were actually just there to "probe" and gain experience.

According to the plan, these people will return to France after this operation, where Catholicism is prevalent, to complete their identity transformation and turn this land back into a true place of faith.

But now, with Mario's order, they did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives, just to buy a little more time!
"Hurry! Hurry!" Nikki, standing beside Mario, was getting excited. He looked at the map; it would still be at least an hour before they arrived, and their last remaining defender was the nun!
The nun's face was deathly pale. She knew she was about to disappear as well. Looking at the "monsters" before her, she made her final declaration: "The Lord will block your way, the Lord will punish your intrusion. This is our promised land, not a place you can enter at will!"

Then she disappeared, turning into white light and rising into the sky.

The golden barrier slowly dissipated as the last defender vanished. Only then did Kuchamama's voice rang out, "Foolish fanatics, what better purpose do your actions serve than to waste your pitiful lives?"

"That hypocritical Yahweh won't even leave you a corpse..."

Just when everyone thought the obstruction was over, people from a helicopter in the distance were already flying towards them!
The sacrifice of one bishop and dozens of priests was not in vain! They bought time for the world!

Everyone knew what terrible consequences it would be if this group of people left, but no one took action except the Vatican, only the Vatican, which chose to step forward!

"Don't even think about leaving this sea, you blasphemer from another land!" A loud and powerful voice rang out from the newcomer, accompanied by gasps of surprise from the audience.

They recognized the man. The one who had come to this sea area was none other than the "saint" of the Papacy, the man known to people all over the world—George Stasi.
This man actually charged ahead?

Many conspiracy theories held by those with darker minds, who believed that the Vatican was merely trying to exploit believers in other countries, have been disproven.

After all, even if the Vatican wanted to deplete the superhumans of other countries, it would never target George, because George himself is irreplaceable!
He was practically the Vatican's only calling card on the entire East Coast. His presence led many to renew their faith in the Lord, and his impartiality and self-discipline made many people rediscover the "Vatican," this newly established denomination.

But now, this man, who is almost one of the top three in the American Vatican, has come to this sea alone, and is standing on the sea, gazing at the enemy in front of him.

What's the difference between this and placing the Vatican's assets in front of a dragon?
This is the most central figure in the Papacy, yet he has now arrived at the forefront of the battle, and with his arrival comes an even more deafening voice.

“Your Holiness Mario will be here soon!” George said. He knew that the most important thing now was not to demonstrate his power, but to boost the morale of these people. “The Holy See will protect this world, even if only one person remains!”

"It's as if the true perpetrators of the Black Death never escaped the Vatican's seal; it's as if the great demons of the past never left Jerusalem; it's as if the legendary demons never left the Middle East..."

"To guide believers and prevent disasters from happening—that is the mission of the Vatican!"

"Enough people have died in the Great Flood. The Vatican does not want the world to fall into an irreparable crisis, which would lead to the Lord sending down another world-destroying flood!"

“We will help you bear this sin until the Lord grants forgiveness!”

Upon hearing these words, many world leaders paused, feeling somewhat embarrassed that the troubles they had caused on their path to transcendence still required the Vatican to resolve.

Of course, many people don't really care, but they all know that they owe this favor in the first place.

But many people's eyes lit up. If the Vatican could hold off these monsters, they could also send a team to provide some assistance.

At least, they can get a share of the profits in this special crisis that has spread to the internet!

George had already looked at these "people" in front of him. They no longer had human appearances, but only humanoid crystalline shells and the wailing souls inside that the superhumans could see.

These people who dream of "extraordinary" status are trapped in the cage of desire and become Kuchamama's henchmen. Their painful cries, on the contrary, become an even more powerful force that is transferred to these monsters!
But George, on the contrary, felt that this was a great opportunity.

As the group surrounded him, trying to turn him into crystalline fragments like Karl had before, the words of the "Saint"—bright and majestic—slowly rang out!
"Don't despair, don't scream, calm down! You are the masters of your own bodies!"

"Remember, the Lord has not abandoned you! Do not let external desires influence your actions!"

Guided by his words, which emanated a holy white light, the monsters, who were originally filled with immense killing intent, actually slowed their pace...

Many onlookers were mesmerized; was this the power of the saints?
P.S.: Watching the game made me so angry I couldn't write anything... but I've calmed down now.
