From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 86 The Papacy's Historical Revision
St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City.

Although he had already decided to go to the United States, in order not to embarrass himself during his conversation with the blond-haired man, Pope Mario decided to first check the vast archives of the Vatican to see if they had missed anything.

There was no way around it; the things the other party sent were just too oppressive, especially the images of people killed by natural disasters—the horrific scenes were enough to leave anyone in awe!
Not to mention the descent of angels and demons, as well as the records from the Civil War, all of which suggest that the Papacy must have been a powerful organization.

This made those in the Vatican even more suspicious!

America is not a promised land, nor a holy place, nor is it home to countless saints and traditions.

Frankly speaking, whether you're a Protestant, Catholic, or Orthodox Christian, you know that it's just a missionary site, and apart from the country being relatively powerful, it's not that important in the church system.

But why are so many things happening there? And why are they all things they don't know about?
As the Pope recognized by all believers in the world, Mario always felt that there might be some secrets they didn't know about.

Therefore, the Vatican, which had been inactive for a long time, began its first "great cleaning" in hundreds of years at the Pope's command to "find".

The last time this place was this chaotic was during the Austrian Civil War in 1865, when Pope Pius IX was in power.

Now, those special documents dating back more than 150 years are being retrieved bit by bit from the Vatican's vaults.

The records of popes, cardinals, and deacons of all ages are being examined little by little.

In order to achieve the effect of rapid reading, they even issued an order to churches throughout Europe, summoning many scholars and bishops to the Vatican to search for what they wanted in these vast amounts of materials!
In addition to their own materials, materials from surrounding countries were also sought out and reviewed—of course, this was limited to materials related to the Vatican.

Everyone got busy, including spies from various countries.

After all, people who care about things can always keep up with what happened to America recently. Although the executive order by the Golden Retriever has resulted in almost no coverage of this matter on the public internet around the world, this information is being sold everywhere for hundreds of thousands of dollars through secret channels and special channels!
This naturally includes some of the most powerful countries in Europe: England, France, and Prussia!

They were also gathering relevant information, and of course they found out about the meeting with the Vatican, so they sent people over directly.

Their spies were also mixed in with these clergy, poring over the almost endless documents, which Bai Yang found somewhat amusing.

They came here to investigate, but now they've all become the Vatican's laborers. I wonder what they're thinking.

He tapped on the documents in front of him, and some special power seemed to infuse them.

Not only these documents, but all the documents of the Vatican system were incorporated into it!

With the "central hub" in place, interpreting these materials and incorporating his own story is a piece of cake!

In the future, no matter what the circumstances, we should be able to find some corresponding evidence here.

"Alvin, I sensed the location of the second fragment, further north!" After doing this, Bai Yang said, "This time, let's finish what we absolutely must do first, and then go look for it!"

“Of course!” Alvin bowed and said, “Your will is the highest command!”

Bai Yang arrived in the Vatican by plane without incident, but upon arrival, he couldn't contain himself upon seeing so many spies.

CIA, MI6, GRU, the French 7th Bureau, Prussian Foreign Intelligence Service... Rather than a gathering of clergy, this place is more like a paradise for spies. They discuss the Pope's recent madness as if they were having a meeting.

"Lord, with so much information, how long will it take to read it all?!"

"Yes, my God! These documents must be moldy by now! What was the Vatican thinking, checking this stuff now?"

"Who knows? But our Pope has been quite active lately!"

They discussed among themselves, but their hands moved quickly, flipping through some ancient documents.

It must be said that these materials are quite comprehensive. The reason why Catholicism has been able to establish itself in the world is because it has a complete historical lineage and can find relevant materials, data, and even figures at every historical juncture.

Compared to the clergy, the agents had better eyesight, and soon someone noticed something was amiss!
In a document titled "The Vatican's 1866 Annual Report on North American Affairs," someone discovered that the paper thickness was incorrect. The annual report, which should have been one sheet of paper, was twice as thick as ordinary paper!
"What is this?" The agent who discovered the document was very curious, but he didn't have time to hide it and study it in private. The other sharp-eyed agents around him also gathered around!

Now, not only them, but even the cardinal in charge of the area noticed something was wrong, and the document was taken away from the agents.

Sometimes, being too good at your job isn't necessarily a good thing.

Soon, the annual report arrived before Pope Mario. He held the paper and looked at the records on it:
Progress of Vatican Charitable Work:
New Black schools: 17
Baptisms of converts: 1,203 (at Ellis Island Immigration Center, New York)
Note: Washington's withholding of Confederate military artifacts (including Robert E. Lee's sword) violates the War booty sharing treaty.

“Hmm… this matter…” Mario had some recollection of it. He remembered that it was related to Pius IX, the pope who had publicly called for a vision of “peace” in the American Civil War.

They even sent people there specifically for the sake of so-called 'world peace'.

Mario looked at the "discoverer" before him and asked curiously, "Priest, what's wrong with this piece of paper?"

The discoverer, originally an MI6 spy, has now become a true "devout" believer. He exclaimed, "Your Majesty, this paper is very thick; there might be something hidden inside. If you trust me, I can help you disassemble it!"

"Very well!" Pope Mario nodded. "I grant you this qualification!"

Before the highest echelons of the Vatican, the priest naturally had no other thoughts. He carefully took out a utility knife and slowly cut the paper open, allowing a thin silver sheet to fall out.

This thin sheet appeared before Mario along with the paper that had just been disassembled; they were in the same format, but contained completely different information:
Vatican Secret Files VII/66
Progress in the supernatural cleanup:
Purify the Mississippi River Blood Nest: ██ locations

Werewolf Converters in custody: 1,203 (transferred to a special monastery on Ellis Island, New York)
Question: Washington refuses to hand over Robert E. Lee's bloodstained sword, stating it will be kept in the Hall of Honor at West Point, and that the sword contains a special virus that the Vatican needs to monitor continuously.

"My God!" Mario crossed himself, feeling as if he had become a fake pope!
He stared at the cardinals before him and questioned them again, "Gentlemen, do you really know nothing? Or is it because of my background that you forbid me from knowing?"

The cardinals looked at each other, wishing it were true, but unfortunately, they knew no more than the pope before them. They seemed to have truly lost touch with the church of the past!
“I knew it. How could Pius IX have intervened in the American Civil War for no reason? This is not a civil war, it is a war between the Papacy and the Darkness!” Mario did not expect them to tell him anything. Instead, he took the document and handed it to the deacon beside him.

"Keep it safe, now we can go to America!"

They knew nothing about it before, so of course they couldn't brag about it in America.

Now that it's confirmed they were indeed involved in the Extraordinary, Mario seems even more confident, even if he knows nothing!
They still possess power and heritage; it's just that it hasn't been discovered yet. Don't worry... they still have time!
The upcoming discoveries will certainly give the Vatican more confidence!
