From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 470 The Era of the Great Expedition!
The reactions of the people present varied, which allowed Bai Yang to gain a lot of wish power, which could be considered an unexpected gain.

Seeing the excited or thoughtful expressions on everyone's faces, Mario smiled and waited for them to recover before speaking.

"In the world where Rasinger and his people live, demons are squeezing out the living space of believers, so when we go to that world, we will also fight against the demons!"

“Every bishop, priest, pastor, or monk, monk, or nun has a mission to fight! Our opponents are hell, the demons! The highest-ranking demons are naturally dealt with by heaven, but the lower-ranking demons and their followers require our people to fight them!”

"We bear the mission of saving that world!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression turned solemn. This matter was even more terrifying than they had imagined. Angus even asked, "Your Majesty, shall we travel through time in our true forms?"

"It's not a physical journey, but a soul journey! Lasinger will hold a special ceremony there, and all those chosen will go to that world, but their bodies will remain!"

Mario's words were clear and calm, carrying a special tranquility that made everyone listen quietly: "And your souls will receive protection from heaven in that world, have new bodies, and go to help the people there!"

"If you die over there, you will return to this world, but you will never have the chance to go back!"

Mario, seeing their varied expressions, knew what they were thinking and said with a smile, "Yes, for the Vatican, this can be considered a training exercise. After all, those who came before were on the front lines, truly facing death and fear, confronting demons and cultists. That was a world many times more terrifying than America now!"

Most of America is safe; the unsafe areas are mainly the big cities. This is a trait of Puritan countries: freedom and indulgence are in the big cities, while in small villages, tradition and conservatism still prevail.

Therefore, the safety of most areas makes many dangerous places seem less dangerous.

The world of Kolasinger is completely different. In that world, the demons have even formed complete teams and armies, and have occupied more than half of the world's land. That kind of pollution and that terrifying army can bring even more terrible dangers.

It was so dangerous that Lasinger actively sought him out for help!
“What we need are people with truly devout faith, not just ordinary people with seniority, because everyone is crucial!” Mario’s words immediately made everyone understand.

This could be an opportunity, but it is also a test from heaven or the Lord. Everyone who passes through this process will inevitably be examined by the angels and may even be watched over by them throughout.

At that point, it will no longer be a place to "gain seniority," but a complete cleansing of one's future prospects.

Within the Papacy system, there are virtually no personal relationships, at least not now. The only things that truly influence rank advancement are one's level of piety and one's divine status.

Therefore, everyone has made their own decision.

Mario speaks very little, but everyone can understand the meaning behind his words.

This was an aid mission to another world, but thanks to Bishop Lasinger, all the crises were minimized. So, in a practical sense, this was a tremendous opportunity!

Every person in the past fought against demons. Does that mean they gained supernatural powers, combat experience, or even the opportunity to communicate with extraordinary beings, angels, or saints?

They will be guided by saints and by the light of the Lord. The benefits they gain from this guidance are simply unimaginable!
It could even be said that everyone chosen to go through the past is a future extraordinary individual.

Angus, however, sensed something else. He looked at Mario with some concern, "Your Majesty, you have only just recovered. Would you like to rest a little longer? I can go to that world in your place!"

He had no selfish motives. For him and Mario, it didn't matter whether they went to each other's world or not, because they were already at the pinnacle of their worlds.

The future will likely involve the elevation of papal or cardinal precepts, but that is a gift from heaven, not the acquisition of such experience.

Therefore, when they go to that world, they are there specifically to save believers. In this sense, they are the true selfless devotees!
Mario shook his head. "No, I think this is a great opportunity, a great opportunity to hand over the power of this world to you... Father Angus Bennett, when I saw your deeds, I had already decided who would be the next pope, and you have not disappointed me!"

"I don't have much longer to live. This body is already broken and decaying. I'm happy to be able to go to the new world to help others!"

Mario's body was indeed failing; the ailments he suffered in the Caribbean, the forced increase in power, and the damage from wearing the Crown of Thorns had already left this eighty-year-old man on the verge of death. The reason he could still stand here so calmly was not only due to the immense superhuman power within him, but also, and perhaps more importantly, his incredibly resilient heart and will!

The liberating theology leader, a man who fought guerrilla warfare in the South American jungle for the liberation of the people of the entire region, possessed a tenacious spirit that is hard for ordinary people to imagine.

Despite his physical pain, an excruciating agony, he addressed the people before him with numerous tasks:
“Angus, give me your hand…”

Mario took out the Crown of Thorns from Angus's hand and placed it carefully in his hand, saying, "I entrust this world, the Church, the believers here, and the glory of the Lord to you!"

“I will come back here, and I hope that time will be when you proudly tell me that you can become the Pope!”

With a heartfelt and very serious expression, Angus replied, “Rest assured, my life and everything I have will be dedicated to the Lord. I will spread light throughout the world so that every believer will receive the best reward!”

The Crown of Thorns changed hands, and Angus treasured it dearly, keeping it close to his heart.

This time, he is still not the Pope, but he is already the highest fighting force of the Papacy in this world!

No one doubts this, because the earth-shattering battle in the Caribbean Sea has already proven it!
Mario smiled and continued, "In everything I set an example for you, so that you may know how to labor in this way to help the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"

"Alright, go and tell the shepherds this: we need many, many shepherds to go to that world, to fulfill their promise to the Lord, and to save those believers!"

Everyone went down, and of course they didn't need to go back to their own countries to do that; they simply informed their people of the matter.

Within minutes, the news was known in every Christian country in the world.

They knew of this tremendous opportunity. Those under the Catholic Church were actually in a better position because they had endured a "purification" and were still able to bear it.

But the Orthodox and Protestant people couldn't hold back at all!

"To go to other worlds, to receive teachings from saints or even angels, and to confront cultists, heretics, and demons?"

"To receive baptism from heaven? To become a bishop, priest, or deacon in another world? And to gain the power to command an army?"

"We can go too? Every devout person can?"

This announcement rekindled hope for believers who wanted to convert.

They were already quite dejected and discouraged, thinking that the Lord's gaze could only be fixed on Catholicism, and many parishes even lost many believers.

Now, a message from the Vatican tells them that the Lord has never abandoned any believer, and that as long as one is devout enough, everyone has the opportunity to gain the Lord's favor!

More importantly, it restored the confidence of many people, who knew they were not abandoned and that they could still go to heaven after death.

This increased faith has led people in many areas to return to churches, not for selection, but simply for worship.

The impact of this notice was enormous and far-reaching!
This caused turmoil in the remaining billion parishes outside of Catholicism, and also caused the world's willpower to surge once again at this moment!

"This is an unexpected delight!" Bai Yang exclaimed. "The Great Expedition Era begins with the Papacy!"
