I Created a Sanctuary in Marvel

Chapter 69 The Idea of the Two Zodiac Signs

Chapter 69 The Concept of the Zodiac

Watching the whispering leaders from various countries below the stage, Ye Feng calmly sat in the main seat, offering no further comment. Inside the United Nations General Assembly Hall, the dazzling crystal chandelier cast a soft glow on the dark mahogany conference table, illuminating the diverse expressions on the faces of the attendees.

The air was thick with a mixture of tension and anticipation, as if every tiny sound was witnessing a historic moment.

Although the meeting lasted only about three hours, it has already caused a huge stir around the world.

Even after Ye Feng announced the adjournment, discussions among the leaders of various countries continued unabated for a long time.

Ye Feng tilted his head slightly, listening intently to the discussions and keenly capturing every key piece of information.

His gaze slowly swept across the room, noticing that many national leaders, especially those from smaller, weaker countries, wore obvious expressions of worry.

As they whispered among themselves, their eyes frequently darted towards Ye Feng, their words filled with concern that the superhuman might seize power.

In contrast, representatives of some major powers appeared more composed, with their discussions clearly focusing on establishing extraordinary response mechanisms under their own control.

Just as Ye Feng had predicted, no sovereign nation would be willing to entrust all extraordinary events to the Holy Domain.

This demonic invasion occurred in a remote area of Texas, so the Sanctuary's intervention is still acceptable; but what if the next supernatural event occurs in the White House or the Kremlin? Would those confidential documents concerning the lifeline of the nation be exposed to the Sanctuary's sight?

This is a risk that no national leader can tolerate.

"Your Holiness the Pope."

"We have some important matters we would like to discuss with you. After the meeting, would you have time to speak with us?"

The leader of a small country stood up and bowed respectfully to Ye Feng.

"Okay." Ye Feng nodded steadily, his slender fingers tapping lightly on the table.

He had already guessed the other party's intentions, but for the Holy See and the Sanctuary, this was an excellent opportunity to enhance their international status and influence.

His gaze swept across the room again, keenly noticing that some countries had begun to form small groups, clearly preparing for the coming extraordinary era.

Ye Feng did not intend to interfere too much in this matter. He had already made suggestions; how to implement them was up to the leaders of each country to consider.

Seeing that the time had come, Ye Feng gently tapped the wooden mallet in front of him, the crisp sound echoing throughout the venue.

This meeting is now adjourned.

He announced, his voice steady and powerful.

As the delegates left one by one, Ye Feng gestured to the UN staff to arrange a small meeting room for him.

While waiting, he stood by the window, gazing at the United Nations skyline, his thoughts already drifting to faraway places.

Soon after, in an elegantly decorated side meeting room, Ye Feng faced twelve leaders of small countries.

"Is everyone here?" Ye Feng walked into the conference room, his gaze quickly sweeping over each leader present.

"They have all arrived, Your Holiness the Pope," the leader chosen as the representative replied respectfully.

These countries are in a similar situation to the Vatican in the past. Although they have seats in the United Nations, they have almost no say and at most only have the right to participate.

Ye Feng gracefully gestured for him to proceed.

"Please have a seat, everyone. Feel free to share your thoughts."

"Here's the thing, Your Holiness."

"Our countries have limited national strength. We lack the resources to independently research courses on human evolution, and we are also worried that hastily establishing a supernatural organization might cause internal strife."

"As you know, mutants have caused a lot of trouble in the past... Therefore, we have decided not to form our own supernatural response team."

The representative took a deep breath and organized his thoughts.

He paused, exchanged a glance with the other leaders, and continued, "We hope to hire the Holy See to provide supernatural protection and assist in handling any supernatural events that may occur within the country."

"In return, we are willing to contribute corresponding resources, which may be funds or other forms of compensation."

The other leaders nodded in agreement.

This was the best solution they came up with after careful consideration. Against the backdrop of major powers seeking independence and middle-sized countries uniting to protect themselves, these small countries could only rely on the Holy Land as their backing.

Pope Ye Feng, as the strongest person on Earth in public, has dealt with the seventy-two demon gods Valak, Magneto, and the recent demon invasion, demonstrating strength that can be described as unbeatable.

Furthermore, since the Holy Land is a religiously neutral country and has no interest in the internal affairs of other countries, it is undoubtedly the best choice.

"Oh?"

"I will discuss this matter in detail with the Cardinals after I return to the Sanctuary. As you know, the Vatican has only recently restarted its armed forces, and its manpower is very limited."

Ye Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression.

He deliberately left room for maneuver; things that are too easily obtained will only arouse suspicion.

This was an important lesson he learned after several lifetimes of reincarnation.

"Of course, we await your news."

The leaders expressed understanding of Ye Feng's response. This was consistent with their impression of the Vatican's consistently cautious approach.

"But please rest assured."

"The Sanctuary will never ignore a nation in need of protection. If a long-term employment relationship is to be established, the Sanctuary will definitely propose terms that satisfy both parties."

Ye Feng changed the subject, his tone gentle yet firm.

"Then we'll take our leave now, so as not to take up any more of your time."

The leaders rose to take their leave. They also needed to return home to further discuss this important decision with higher-ups, as it involved transferring some defense powers to external organizations.

After all the leaders had left, Logan, who had been standing quietly by the door, stepped forward, his deep voice filled with barely concealed excitement: "I never imagined that we would be able to step onto the world stage so openly and legitimately so soon."

Clarice, standing beside him, also had an unusual glint in her eyes. She gently clenched her hands, feeling the energy surging within her.

As a mutant who was once forced to hide her abilities, she understands the significance of this opportunity better than anyone else.

"What you once said is gradually becoming a reality," Logan said with deep emotion.

He still remembers that night, and the conversation the two had in the grove is now being realized by Ye Feng one by one.

"Let's go, it's time to return to the Vatican."

"There's still a lot to deal with."

Ye Feng smiled calmly and straightened his robe.

Indeed, there is still a long way to go before reaching the extraordinary society he envisions. But being able to integrate extraordinary powers into the human social system is already a huge step forward.

Although leaders of various countries remain wary of extraordinary individuals, the significance of this transformation cannot be denied.

Of course, the formation of extraordinary organizations is inevitably accompanied by the rise of civilian forces. There are quite a few hidden extraordinary organizations in this world, and it is foreseeable that the future social order will face challenges.

But this is an inevitable growing pain of change, and all Ye Feng can do is try to keep the impact to a minimum.

Back at the Holy Land Palace, Ye Feng stood before a huge world map, holding a red marker, and circled the locations of the twelve small countries seeking cooperation one by one.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the stained glass windows, casting dappled light and shadow on the map.

"From the perspective of national development, these geographical locations are indeed not advantageous."

"No wonder the economy and national strength have been struggling to improve."

He muttered to himself, the tip of his pen lightly tracing across the map, but the next second, his eyes sharpened, and a faint smile appeared on his lips: "But for my plan, this is an excellent opportunity."

During his battle with the Demonic Heart Witch, Ye Feng deeply realized the fragility of Earth. The battles between top-tier powerhouses inflict devastating damage on this planet.

One wrong move and this Earth could be shattered.

He had been thinking about how to enhance Earth's protection, and the best solution he came up with was to set up a barrier, imitating the land of gods from his previous life.

The distribution of these twelve small countries perfectly fulfilled his vision of establishing the twelve zodiac constellations. By activating the divine runes through the interconnected power of the microcosm, a super magic array covering the entire Earth could be constructed.

This will not only ensure the safety of the Earth to the greatest extent, but will also be continuously strengthened as Ye Feng's strength increases.

Although he is not yet strong enough to fully realize this idea, he can use the power of the Sanctuary to lay the groundwork. Even if he cannot completely restrict the top powerhouses for the time being, he can at least greatly reduce the damage caused to Earth by the battles of the supernatural.

Following the UN conference, the attitudes of countries around the world toward supernatural powers noticeably softened. Mutants, who had previously gone into hiding due to the mutant threat theory, also keenly sensed this change.

However, most people's attention remains focused on the Vatican.

At Xavier's Estate, far out in the New York suburbs, Professor Charles watched the news reports about the United Nations meeting on television and couldn't help but sigh, "What His Holiness the Pope has accomplished is something that Eric and I have never been able to achieve."

He turned his wheelchair and looked out at the sunset. He knew clearly that the establishment of the Extraordinary Armed Forces meant that mutants with stable abilities would become the targets of recruitment by various major powers.

Even if he cannot gain core power, at least his living environment will be fundamentally improved, which is the goal that he and Magneto have struggled for many years but have failed to achieve.

With the establishment of extraordinary armed organizations in various countries, many capable individuals have come to the forefront.

However, some people are still observing and are not in a hurry to reveal themselves.

"Pope Ye Feng—that demon, is he actually Mephisto's son?"

In a university, a young man looked at a United Nations report, his eyes gleaming.

The long-cherished wish that had remained unfulfilled for many years seemed to find hope in the other person.

"We'll have to wait and see."

However, he did not rush to draw a conclusion.

Having experienced hell firsthand, he knew its immense power.

In his view, even Mephisto's children were struggling so much.

He is not yet qualified to be his subordinate.

"Doom, what are you doing?"

"Aren't you going to the lab yet?"
