I Created a Sanctuary in Marvel

Chapter 68 United Nations Conference

Over the course of three days, high-ranking officials from around the world unanimously adjusted their schedules, either handling their most urgent matters ahead of time or temporarily postponing them, before setting off for the United Nations headquarters.

At this time, the area surrounding the United Nations was under complete martial law, with security levels raised to their highest level in history. The gathering of world leaders and key decision-makers at the United Nations in such a concentrated manner was an extremely rare sight.

In the past, UN meetings were mostly attended by diplomatic missions from various countries, but this time was completely different.

The demon invasion had far-reaching consequences, and given that the invitation was extended by the renowned new Pope Ye Feng, no one dared to take it lightly.

Both for their own sake and for public reasons, they all wanted to see this legendary figure in person.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the United Nations headquarters witnessed an unprecedented spectacle. Heads of state's planes landed at the airport almost every hour, and motorcades entered the headquarters area under heavy guard, creating a solemn and tense atmosphere.

"Has His Holiness the Pope arrived yet?" The person in charge of receiving the guests asked his subordinates anxiously, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

"We've arrived. We got to the conference center half an hour ago and are currently in the private lounge."

The subordinate quickly reported back.

At this time, there was still more than an hour before the scheduled start of the meeting. Ye Feng traveled light, with only Clarice and Logan accompanying him, in addition to a few necessary cardinals.

Johnny and Anna stayed behind at the Sanctuary to prevent any unforeseen events.

Clarice was brought along so that the portal could be opened immediately in case of an emergency.

"Your Holiness, the meeting is about to begin."

Outside the lounge, a staff member's respectful voice could be heard reminding them.

"Let's go."

The United Nations conference hall, which can accommodate thousands of people, was packed to capacity. High-level representatives from around the world were already seated, and all eyes were focused on the entrance, quietly awaiting the key figures of this meeting.

"Eeya~"

The heavy doors of the council hall were slowly pushed open.

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to the doorway.

When Ye Feng appeared in everyone's sight, many people couldn't help but think: the rumors were true.

The young pope was handsome and had an extraordinary air about him.

He looked very young, but his deep eyes and steady gait exuded a composure and majesty beyond his years, like an unshakeable mountain that inexplicably made people feel at ease.

"It seems everyone is quite concerned about the events surrounding Hell and the demon invasion."

"Then let's get straight to the point. I will be chairing this meeting, and the main topics are: Gods, Hell, and Humanity, and whether we need to promote the development of superhuman armed forces on a global scale."

Ye Feng walked straight to the stage in the center of the hall, his voice clearly transmitted through the microphone to every corner.

The huge circular screen behind him lit up, displaying a presentation carefully prepared by the Vatican.

"As you all probably know, not long ago, a demonic invasion occurred in Texas, the United States."

As Ye Feng spoke, he manipulated the screen to play the on-site video footage collected by the Vatican.

The people present were already familiar with these scenes, and their respective intelligence departments had even analyzed them repeatedly.

In the video, humanity's most advanced firearms appeared powerless in the face of the demons, and those shocking scenes still haunt them to this day.

"The leader of this demon is called the Witchheart Demon. His three followers are elemental demons who control the three basic elements of water, earth, and wind."

"In terms of individual strength, they can only be considered high-ranking demons in Hell, not even comparable to the demon god Valak from the last invasion. But this Witchheart Demon has a very special identity."

Ye Feng zoomed in on the image of Wu Xinmo. The contorted face on the screen was that of the demon that had been the most powerful that day.

"He is one of the current lords of Hell, the son of Mephisto."

"His purpose in coming to Earth this time is to seize the thousands of fallen holy souls sealed in the San Venganza Pact, thereby enhancing his own power, and attempting to use the source of the Hell dimension that he stole to forcibly open up a new Hell territory, thus ascending to become a true demon god."

At this point, Ye Feng noticed that some representatives in the audience had raised their hands. He nodded slightly, signaling them to speak.

"Your Holiness, according to you, hell—can be created? Does this mean that hell is not the only existence in our traditional understanding?"

The representative raised his question.

"That's an excellent question," Ye Feng nodded approvingly.

"Here, I can give you a basic introduction. The Hell Dimension itself is an extremely special existence. Its area is almost infinite, and its dimensional energy is so vast that it is immeasurable."

"This is why a situation of fragmentation and division has arisen within the Hell Dimension. However, not all of these powerful beings reside in the same dimensional space."

He paused, looked around the room, and continued to explain, "These hells should be familiar to everyone."

"For example, Hela, the goddess of death in Norse mythology, rules Helheim, which is also known as the underworld; and Hades, the god of the underworld in Greek mythology, created the realm of the dead."

"In the Japanese Takamagahara mythology system, the planet Amatsuono, who lives in the land of the dead, and in Egyptian mythology, the realm of the dead ruled by Osiris, are essentially different branches derived from the main dimension of Hell."

As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, the entire council hall erupted in uproar!

This news is incredibly shocking. If these legendary hells are real, does that mean that the corresponding deities also truly exist?

Only now did many people truly understand the astonishing amount of information contained in the topic Ye Feng raised at the beginning.

"Your Holiness the Pope!"

"Are you saying that gods also exist?"

Another representative couldn't help but stand up abruptly, his voice trembling slightly.

"That's right."

"Gods do exist. However, due to various reasons, such as the strengthening of dimensional barriers or changes in beliefs, the main forces of most major pantheons have now left Earth or are active in other dimensions."

Even if a few gods remain on Earth, most of them have fallen into a long slumber.

Ye Feng's answer was decisive and without the slightest hesitation.

"What concrete evidence supports your claims?"

Another representative asked a question, his tone carrying the caution and skepticism typical of the scientific age.

The vast majority of people sitting here are elites who have received modern higher education, uphold rational thinking, or even staunch atheists and materialists.

What Ye Feng said at this moment was violently impacting their worldview, which they had built up over decades.

"Evidence—I have a report here that might be called circumstantial evidence."

Ye Feng seemed to have anticipated this, and he skillfully turned to the next page of the PowerPoint presentation. The screen displayed the gene analysis report submitted by the Sanctuary Foundation's laboratory a few days prior.

"Send it back to China immediately so that the top team of biological geneticists can conduct simultaneous analysis!"

Below the stage, high-ranking officials from various countries whispered instructions to their accompanying technical officials.

This report is too technical; they need the support of a think tank to fully understand it.

"You can pay special attention to these descriptions in the report."

Ye Feng circled several key paragraphs with a laser pointer.

"Source of genetic sample—unknown. Collection location—Egypt, an ancient country with an exceptionally rich mythology."

"The report concludes that this gene sample is extremely old, far exceeding the history of human civilization, yet its cells still retain a slight degree of activity."

"Based on the basic model, the cell vitality and potential lifespan of the sample owner far exceed the biological limits of humans today."

"More importantly, its genetic structure is completely different from that of any known organism on Earth."

His voice suddenly rose, clear and powerful, echoing throughout the entire venue: "In other words, the source of this genetic sample does not belong to any known organism on Earth."

"We have every reason to believe that this is a drop of divine blood! It originates from a true deity!"

"Whoosh!"

The entire UN chamber erupted in chaos, as if a bomb had been dropped on it!

Gods? Demons? In the past, they would have scoffed at such nonsense. But now, with the demonic invasion having occurred just days ago, they had no choice but to believe!

"Everyone! Please keep quiet!"

Ye Feng's voice contained a peculiar calming power, gradually quieting the noisy venue.

"You've probably all seen the videos we played before many times, and may even have done some technical analysis on them."

"In this regard, I would like to emphasize one point: in the face of these gods and demons from different dimensions who possess extraordinary powers, humanity needs to unite as one."

"Modern firearms are extremely limited in their effectiveness against these forces. Should we seriously consider using extraordinary power to counter the extraordinary, and building a globally covering, rapidly responding extraordinary armed force?"

"After all, neither I nor the Sanctuary can provide timely support in every crisis. If it's just a single incident, that's manageable, but what if it's a multi-point outbreak, or even a global invasion?"

He then dropped an even more unsettling bombshell: "Moreover, to my knowledge, there are far more than one place on Earth where demons or other dangerous extradimensional beings are sealed away."

"I imagine none of you would want to entrust all matters of national survival to the Sanctuary's handling, would you?"

At this point, Ye Feng changed the subject, adopting a strategy of retreating to advance: "Of course, in return, the Holy See and the Holy Land are willing to provide some special equipment, holy water, and other supplies for demons and dark creatures."

"But ultimately, each country's own extraordinary armed forces must be in your own hands."

These words cleverly alleviated the concerns of political leaders from various countries about their power being undermined and the Papacy's influence being excessively expanded.

But ordinary people don't realize that once the curtain rises on the extraordinary era, the existing social structure will inevitably undergo subtle changes!

"In addition, it should be noted that the extraordinary weapons mentioned here are not limited to mutants."

"It can include accomplished martial artists, mages who study mysteries, and even special combatants who have been enhanced through something like a super soldier serum."

"The specific path to be adopted can be decided by each country through consultation based on its own culture and resource endowment."

Ye Feng broadened the concept at the opportune moment.

Looking at the representatives from various countries who were deep in thought below the stage, a subtle smile quietly appeared on Ye Feng's lips.
