From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 78 Professor Thomas's startling conjecture (310)

Three hours later, in the New York City government conference room.

Here, everyone sat calmly, watching the blond man at the head of the table and his staff, as well as the most powerful people in the country—almost all of them were there!
Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff, National Security Advisor, Secretary of State, Vice President, Speaker of the House...

Compared to them, perhaps only the governor of New York State and the mayor of New York City have a bit more confidence, after all, they are local rulers.

Stephen sat in the corner, trying his best to hide his presence, and then looked at the person sitting across the conference table.

That is, Leon, George, and Jeff.

Of all the people in this, Jeff was the one who was truly flattered.

Although he is a big streamer, he has clearly never sat with such high-level people before. It was only because of the successive appearances of angels, demons, and saints that he gradually became more apprehensive and managed to keep himself from losing his composure now.

Of course, the questioning of them has not yet begun; the governor is now asking questions about the “losses.”

"This disaster resulted in a death toll of 941 people in the entire prison!" Stephen said slowly. "Of them, more than 700 died from the intense heat of the lava, and another 200 died from mutual killings and from the bridge built by Mr. Leon!"

Upon hearing this, many people turned to face Lyon, the "Holy Knight," who had killed so many people.
“Those who disrespect the Lord shall not cross the bridge! Those who slander shall be burned at the stake!” Leon said briefly, seemingly not intending to elaborate.

If anyone else were here, they'd probably get electroshock therapy from the police, but Stephen, facing Leon, had no other intentions and continued speaking.

"The exact losses are estimated to be between $50 billion and $100 billion. The East River is completely blocked, and shipping throughout the Manhattan area will also be affected..."

Hearing this, the golden retriever waved his hand, "You can tell him these things yourself later, it's my turn to ask him next!"

He didn't care about the damage here; it was irrelevant to him. What the golden retriever wanted to know were some more important questions!
Stephen shut up, listening to the blond man speak, "I just saw those things that rose into the sky with St. George, what were they?"

Everyone looked at Lyon and George, who shook their heads blankly. They were both self-taught and didn't know more than the people present.

“That is the soul!” Professor Thomas Franklin, who was still present, said slowly.

The theology professor had just been organizing materials from this period and observing recent events.

As a priest, bishop, and professor of theology, Thomas's long-held faith has come to fruition, making him exceptionally active.

“Archangel Andre, one of the seven archangels, is also the angel of death!” Professor Thomas said slowly. “Therefore, His Holiness Saint George, as His servant, should also have the ability to collect souls and offer them to the Kingdom of Heaven!”

"If nothing unexpected happens, those souls are the ones he discovered after death and took with him to the Seventh Heaven!"

Upon hearing this, Vice President Chien quickly asked, "Can only such a small number of souls enter Heaven?"

Stephen just said that hundreds died, but the souls that followed St. George were at most a few dozen, less than a hundred.

Is the odds really that low, one in nine?
Hearing this, Thomas gave him a strange look. "He's leading the dead of the entire area, not just this prison! In fact, he's leading the souls of all of Manhattan!"

"The Book of Revelation states that only those whose names are written in the Book of Life will enter the Kingdom of Heaven!"

"Of all the people who died in New York during those seven days, only these are the ones who were able to accompany him!"

Seven days is a number permitted by Christianity, and also the number used by God in creating things.

Upon hearing this, the mayor suddenly asked Stephen, "What was the death toll in New York in those seven days?"

Stephen quickly gave the answer, "The normal death toll is around 6000! But this does not include accidental deaths. If we include accidental deaths, there will be about 10,000 deaths in these seven days!" Upon hearing this data, apart from the three "ordinary people," the high-ranking officials present did not really react.

With a population of 30 million in New York City and countless influxes, a death toll of only 10,000 in seven days is already quite low.

There's a joke that Gotham City, the darkest city in DC Comics, actually has a much lower death rate and crime rate than several major cities in America.

Coincidentally, New York is the most famous of these major cities.

Upon hearing this, all the senior executives fell silent.

They thought less than one-ninth was already a small number, but the reality is that this proportion will actually increase to one percent.

Only one in a hundred people has the chance to go to heaven.

What a tragic ending! Will they even be able to get in?
"Where did the rest go?" Jeff asked curiously. "To hell?"

Professor Thomas nodded slowly. "Yes, the guilty and the unbelievers will all go down to hell and become part of it!"

Upon hearing this, all the high-ranking officials broke out in a cold sweat. The one who broke out in the coldest sweat was, of course, the Golden Retriever. He was not a devout believer, but now he had made a vow to believe in God again.

They all know how many wrong things they've done in their lives, how many sins they've committed, and perhaps today they should go and buy some indulgences or something.

Seeing their reactions, Professor Thomas roughly understood what was going on. He smiled slightly and looked at the three people beside him. "Sir Lyon, Your Excellency Saint George, based on His Majesty Saint George's words and what you just said about His Excellency Michael, I have some guesses. You can listen to them and see if I am right?"

All that information was compiled in front of them, which led Thomas to this conjecture. As the information gathered, his conjecture became more and more complete, and he himself became increasingly excited.
"A long time ago, I think it was during the middle or late Middle Ages, Heaven and Hell left our world, and we never received any more news about the Lord's messengers or any specific information about demons!"

"Angels cannot descend to earth, and demons cannot come in their true forms. Only the Papacy and those witches and cultists remain to fight against it, until at some point, the Papacy's power also weakens to its limit!"

"This is what's been coming from California, the period during which the Aztec gods slept, and all the mystical powers weakened during that time."

"Therefore, the Knights Templar were disbanded, and all of the Papacy's reserve forces went into hiding. Even the popes of past generations may only know this rumor, without knowing the specific details."

"But now, as our world is restored and awakened, the Lord's messengers have once again found this place and chosen His new generation of successors. Father Angus and Sister Caroline in California are examples of this, as are Knight Lyon and Mr. George..."

"What followed was the resurgence of the demons. Demons and demon gods, those beings who had fought against the angels, gradually awoke and set their sights on this world!"

"The demon god Ramer, Satan Lucifer, and the great demon Baphomet should all be beings of this kind that have been resurrected... Therefore, we humans are once again exposed to the eyes of these terrifying demon gods, just like thousands of years ago, right?"

"His Holiness St. George probably means that we should reactivate our former power and rebuild that vast papal system to fight against these demons that are about to descend upon the world?"

Upon hearing these words, everyone was shocked. Had this priest and professor actually figured out all of this?
And it sounds quite reasonable, doesn't it?

In particular, Lyon had memories of the Templar Order, which he had never told anyone.

But the most terrifying thing is that Professor Thomas could guess it pretty accurately!
Everyone listened to his conjecture, and seeing the professor's almost frantic appearance, they actually began to believe him to some extent.

That makes sense. If it weren't for this reason, why haven't they found any information in this world after all these years?
Someone must have hidden these things, and could this "someone" be the Vatican?

When logic is consistent and thinking is reasonable, the power of will gradually arises.
