I Created a Sanctuary in Marvel

Chapter 31 Do mythical creatures really exist?

"Leave the rest to us old folks."

"You should get some rest."

The Pope gave Ye Feng a deep look, his gaze a mixture of indescribable relief and solemnity.

At this moment, he was more certain than ever that the deal he made with Ye Feng was the best decision he had ever made in his long career.

Based on the power the opponent has shown so far...

Even without the help of the Vatican, any other religious sect would be able to stir up trouble.

If that's the case, the Vatican will be the one in a passive position.

The cardinal stood to one side, clutching the memory card extracted from Savis's camera, his eyes burning with fervor.

This is more than just a video.

This is the key for the Vatican to return to the top of the world.

The group walked silently out of the Papal Palace training ground, their footsteps echoing rhythmically in the empty corridors.

The Pope responded to high-ranking officials and major financial groups from various countries, his voice calm and authoritative:

"The Vatican will issue a unified response to this incident in three days."

Three days! That's enough time for the news to spread and for everyone to prepare themselves mentally.

"Savis, did you and His Majesty really encounter a demon during this mission?"

Clarice leaned closer to Savis, her bright green eyes wide open, her low voice barely concealing her excitement.

Although Savis wasn't of much help, the experience sounded much more exciting than the vampire missions she had previously undertaken.

That's a demon! Valak, the 62nd of the 72 demons of Solomon in mythology, the Serpent Count.

Under the premise of ensuring safety, wouldn't she like to see it with her own eyes?

"It's true."

"But I wasn't of much help."

Savis smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"At least you have the power of mutants, which can be useful in crucial moments."

"Wright and I... don't know when we'll reach the standard to comprehend the cosmos."

Estelle said softly, a hint of longing in her eyes.

Wright, who was standing to the side, didn't say anything, but his lips were pressed together until they turned white.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The Vatican's internal video conference was conducted without any cover-up, with all those connected being high-ranking officials from various countries and representatives of world-class conglomerates.

Before the meeting had even officially started, someone tentatively spoke up:

"Your Holiness, is the conflict between the Vatican and the Rockefeller family... truly irreconcilable?"

"Rockefeller is willing to pay the corresponding price."

The Rockefeller family were the funders behind that mutant laboratory and the masterminds behind the repeated attempts to kill Ye Feng.

After news of Ye Feng's battle with the Demon God spread, they panicked completely.

They tried to disassociate themselves... claiming it was merely the patriarch's personal action and had nothing to do with the entire clan.

"Their funding of mutant labs is a clear violation of their alliance with Charles."

"Not to mention, Ye Feng was a victim who escaped from that laboratory and was repeatedly hunted down."

"If it were you, would you have just let it go?"

The Pope's voice was calm and resolute.

This is not only Ye Feng's intention, but also his attitude.

Since Ye Feng was unwilling to reconcile, he naturally stood on his side without hesitation.

"Ye Feng's demands are very clear!"

"Alternatively, the Rockefeller Foundation should be renamed the Sanctuary Foundation, and from now on, it should be directly managed by the Holy See."

"Or, the Rockefeller family... will be wiped out."

The other person wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the Pope raising his hand:

"I suggest that everyone listen to the full report on this incident before deciding whether to get involved."

As personnel joined the system, faces that held sway over the world appeared on the screen.

The meeting officially began.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today the Vatican is issuing its formal response to the previous unusual energy fluctuations and inquiries from various parties."

"Before we begin, please allow me to ask a question..."

Do you believe that mythical creatures... truly exist?

The Pope raised his eyes and slowly scanned each screen.

"Mythical creature?"

"What exactly are you referring to?" a national leader asked, frowning.

"Demons, gods, and even mythical beasts from myths and legends," the Pope added calmly.

"Could this incident... be related to such beings?"

Everyone present was shrewd and reacted almost instantly.

What followed was an undeniable tension and unease.

If mythical creatures truly exist, and gods truly exist...

Will the existing world order be completely overturned?

The dark memories of the theocratic era, even if not personally experienced, are still imprinted in history.

"That's right, Ye Feng is facing a mythical creature this time."

The Pope unfurled the images taken by Savas. Strange runes and distorted patterns were projected onto the screens of each attendee.

"This is an ancient sacrificial ritual intended to summon demons from hell."

"The one who has descended to earth this time is the sixty-second of the seventy-two demons of Solomon... Count Valak the Serpent."

"This demon summoned its avatar on Earth through a sacrifice."

"And Ye Feng broke into battle with him while on a mission."

Before he could finish speaking, the cardinal behind him had already pressed the play button.

Recording begins...

A golden barrier enveloped the battlefield, its light flowing like a sacred bulwark.

Within the barrier, roars and crashes echoed continuously, the earth trembled, and the air buzzed, clearly indicating that two beings far beyond the realm of reason were engaged in a fierce battle.

All attendees held their breath, their eyes glued to the screen.

If they hadn't already received verified reports, on-site photos, and energy readings from intelligence personnel, they would never have believed that this was a real battle.

This looks like a movie scene created with top-notch special effects.

But the earth was truly torn apart, and all life within the barrier was extinguished—a fact they had confirmed time and again.

"Mythical creatures... they actually exist."

"Anyone made of flesh and blood will inevitably fear firearms!"

"Is human technology insufficient to combat mythology?"

"Does the definition of mutant need to be re-evaluated? Advanced mutants like Magneto and Professor X might have a fighting chance..."

"Individual strength is ultimately limited; we must rely on the collective and on technology!"

"But if even someone like Ye Feng has fought this hard..."

The video conference was filled with debate, and the emotions of the representatives from all sides became increasingly intense.

The Pope listened in silence, a barely perceptible smile flickering in his eyes.

Ye Feng achieved his goal.

That was also his purpose.

While it cannot reverse the entire mutant population's situation overnight, it also cannot instantly restore the Vatican to the top of the world.

However, the fact that "demons exist" has cast a heavy shadow over all of humanity.

Fear of the unknown is often the biggest driver of change.

Ye Feng stood outside the door and did not go in.

But he could hear the argument inside very clearly.

The existence of controversy means there is still room for negotiation.

Mutants and humans are not destined to be enemies.

At least, Ye Feng might be able to help with the problem of mutant abilities going out of control, which is what humanity fears most.

For example, teach them to cultivate their inner universe.
