At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

"Your history, which did not receive divine revelation, is truly unscrupulous in fabricating absurd myths. The dogmas you have created to consolidate your power and rule the world are utterly disgusting, corrupt, and degenerate."

Pope Matthew was sweating profusely. "The Bible is fabricated? I don't know that." He did know about dogma, though. The original dogma consisted of only twelve articles written by the Son of God; the numerous later dogmas were written by successive popes and cardinals.

He found some of these doctrines to be anti-human, so he abolished several, but even so, there was great resistance.

“Compared to Francis, you still need to improve,” Los Saint said, looking at Pope Matthew.

Pope Matthew is indeed a genuinely kind person, but he has a great prejudice against Academy City, believing that the world has become unstable because Academy City has been expanding its technological reach to countries around the world without any scruples.

However, he is very supportive of civilian technology.

He even cracked down on corruption within the Orthodox Church, allocating funds for monasteries to adopt abandoned children from around the world; even if he wasn't the Pope, he was still the world's number one philanthropist.

“Yes, my Lord,” Pope Matthew said, his voice choked with emotion. He knew, of course, that Pope Francis was the Pope of God in another beautiful world that was no different from heaven.

That pope was the true 'spokesperson,' spreading God's love to countless galaxies, countless parallel worlds, and even countless other worlds.

He is not even worth a hair on Pope Francis's leg, so it is only natural that he is criticized by God.

Science is also the power of God.

Omniscient and omnipotent, whether existing or not, visible or invisible, all are born of divine power. Ah... I, as the Pope, am far too pedantic.

“Of course, World War III will continue,” Los Saint continued.

"This is also humanity's last war, a war to let the good people take power and let the flames of war burn away all the evil in the world."

"The world I live in is the eternal earthly paradise."

Chapter 372 Aleister: I hereby announce my abdication.

“That’s right, the world you are in is the earthly paradise!” Right Flame said devoutly. His spirit had traveled to so many worlds in the multiverse, and any place illuminated by the glory of God was undoubtedly the paradise.

Every extraordinary person is equivalent to an 'angel'. To be precise, extraordinary people are angel candidates. After dying on earth, they are free to choose whether to be reincarnated or go to the real heaven to become an angel.

This is exactly the beautiful world he longs for.

Ultimately, he started the war simply to make this world, where the four elements are out of balance, a better place.

Now that God's glory has shone upon this world, it will soon become like the worlds He has seen.

“It’s good that you understand,” Luo Sheng said. “You know what to do next.”

At this point, Los Saint stretched out his hand, and a spherical blueprint composed of seven-colored light appeared in his palm. The blueprint contained a Kabbalah Tree of Life, within which ten source points radiated divine light.

[Cosmology: Kabbalah Original Texts - Ten Sources Creation Star Chart]

“Matthew, as my representative in this world, I temporarily bestow this miracle upon you during the Third World War.” Los Saint presented his cosmology to Pope Matthew.

Pope Matthew could not possibly use the cosmology; he had neither the 'prophetic personhood' nor the 'son of God'. He was merely given this thing; in reality, it was Los Saint himself who activated the cosmology.

The monotheistic worldview can only be used by the Son of God, the Prophet, and special saints. There is no doubt that there is only one Son of God. Calling him the Son of God is actually a projection of God's will.

As for prophets, they are the founders of monotheistic religious sects that influenced the entire human civilization, such as Moses and Muhammad.

Other exceptional saints are those who have accomplished great feats in shaping civilization, such as Adam and Noah.

"This is..." Right Fire and the Pope looked shocked.

Having traveled through the multiverse for a year, they knew everything they needed to know.

For example, the ladder to God is actually another form of Kabbalah's path to God, and the end of the path to God is one's worldview.

Demons are also magicians who have reached the end of the path to godhood, but they cheated and took a shortcut, which means that although they have a worldview, they cannot fully control it.

In short, a demon god with a cosmic perspective is a true god, while a demon god without a cosmic perspective is merely a more powerful magician.

This is the true nature of a demon god.

'This is the Christian worldview!' The fire on the right was deeply shocked; it was something that belonged only to God.

"Use it when it's absolutely necessary," Luo Sheng said, and then his figure disappeared.

"Yes, my Lord!" The Pope's eyes showed no ecstasy, only boundless piety. He reached out and caught the Cosmic View, which transformed into a palm-sized cross inlaid with ten sacred gems the instant it landed in his hands.

"At least he's starting to look like a pope now." Right Fire said, looking at the pope. Only a pope recognized by God is a true pope; a pope not recognized by God is merely a representative of the priestly families of the church.

"This year's spiritual journey has also made you mature quite a bit," the Pope said, looking at the Right Flame whose eyes had changed.

"Hmph, I am just me. I have only seen the world I want to see and want the world to become like that. This is what we believers of the Cross should do." Right Fire sneered.

"Then let the war continue, in the will of God, let the flames of war burn away the dust of the old world for the coming new world."

"Hmm..." The Pope nodded, holding the sacred cross. God would never allow ordinary people and good people to be buried in the old world. God's will meant that they would not be harmed but would instead become heroes.

……

United Kingdom.

St. Paul's Cathedral.

At this time, the entire cathedral was closed to the public, and even tourists were not allowed to take photos outside. They would be politely asked to leave by the nuns because a secret meeting was taking place inside the cathedral.

A woman with long, golden hair spread out on the ground like a carpet sat on a small stool, wearing a somewhat 'unprincipled' pink nun's robe, and was combing her hair with a comb in her hand.

In front of her was one of the oldest television sets from the last century.

"It's really troublesome to talk to you, Chairman Aleister." The blonde woman's expression was slightly coquettish, and her tone was full of complaint.

"Your scientific creations are so difficult to use; it took people a full six hours to get through."

The silver-haired man on the television screen was hanging upside down in a nutrient tank. His face was expressionless, as if he had no emotional fluctuations.

[High Priestess Laura Stewart, this is already the most basic technological product, dating back to the early 50s, shortly after the end of World War II.]

“But it’s just too difficult to operate. Could you please ask Chairman Aleister to send a simpler communication device?” Laura Stewart suggested.

Sigh...maybe you should take a look at the user manual.

"This... I recognize each word individually... but putting them together..." Laura said awkwardly.

"Alright, let's stop with the small talk and get back to the main topic," Aleister said.

[A nation influenced by the Roman Catholic Church unilaterally declared war on its neighboring country and Academy City. What choices did Britain and the Puritan Church, allies of Academy City, make?]

I've heard that the French saint, along with the entire nation, simultaneously declared war on England, a feud that has existed for centuries.

[It must be said that the Roman Catholic Church is determined this time to instigate a world war and declare war on Academy City.]

“Yes, the Queen is already at her wits’ end, but those monkeys from France won’t be able to land anytime soon, after all, the whole of Britain is a national-level angelic entity,” Laura said calmly.

The entire territory of Britain, its citizens, mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas are all part of a national angelic ritual called the 'Holy Temple of the Angels'.

The entire territory of Britain is the temple itself. Within Britain, the Queen is equivalent to the Archangel, and the knights appointed are angel soldiers.

This is why Britain has stood on the European continent for so many years without ever being invaded on its own soil.

“However, the economy, diplomacy, and various sanctions have plunged the whole of Britain into a predicament, and I’m truly sorry that we are unable to fulfill our obligations as allies, Chairman Aleister,” Laura Stewart sighed.

"If you think it's appropriate, the Church of Necessary Evil under our church is willing to go to Academy City to provide magical advisory assistance."

"I will lead it myself, after all, it's such a critical moment."

"Is it led by the Supreme Archbishop himself?" Aleister asked. "What's this woman up to?"

It was Laura Stewart who drove him to the brink of death. He was saved at the last moment by Dr. Meito, a scientific doctor whose medical skills were comparable to those of the Grim Reaper, and came to Japan to establish Academy City.

It's impossible to connect him with 'Edward' just by looking at his appearance. Could it be that some clue has been found?

“Yes, that’s right. And while we’re at it, let’s also help the chairman get rid of the magicians who have infiltrated Academy City,” Laura Stewart said. “The chairman is probably aware of how troublesome some of these magicians can be.”

"Indeed... magic, which is completely different from our science, is really hard to understand," Aleister said.

"So? Do we need assistance in this regard?" Laura Stewart said. "Currently, magical societies and nations all over the world are eager to make their move."

"And we in Britain are also trapped on the coastline, which may be the only support Academy City can get."

Edward Alexander, I know you're not dead, after all, the contract binding me still exists.

Laura Stewart smiled, but in her heart she was thinking darkly, and the face of the Star Demon vaguely appeared in her long, flowing golden hair.

During the great battle between the leaders of the most powerful magical society, the Golden Dawn, Mathers summoned her before he was defeated and killed by Edward, and the contract stipulated that he would kill Edward.

For a great demon, a contract is absolutely inviolable; only by fulfilling the contract can she remain in reality without being bound.

They thought they had killed Edward, but they never expected him to be as tenacious as a cockroach, hiding somewhere in the world.

For decades, she searched the entire world but could not find any trace of Edward. There was only one place in the world that she had not searched.

She's going crazy trying to find Edward in Academy City, the science headquarters.

However, her current identity is Laura Stewart, and having integrated into the real world, she must act according to the rules of the real world. These are the original laws written by God for demons, even though she is the source demon in the 'Reverse Kabbalah Tree of Life,' representing the number 333, Kronzun.

"Well, alright. Academy City is indeed isolated and helpless right now. It's really a headache dealing with the infiltration of various magical societies that possess magic we can't understand," Aleister agreed.

Aleister didn't know Laura's true identity, but he knew that this archbishop who almost plotted to murder 'Edward' was no pushover.

“That’s wonderful, it’s a pleasure to cooperate with you, Chairman Aleister.” Laura Stewart beamed with joy.

Oh, and I also have something important to announce to my allies.

"Oh? Please go ahead."

"I plan to retire after this global crisis in Academy City, and hand over the position of Chairman to my successor." After Aleister finished speaking, the television screen changed to show a picture of a girl in school.

It was none other than Misaki Shokuhou.

[This is a Level 5 Level 5 esper in Academy City, soon to become a Level 6 Absolute Level 6 esper, named Misaki Shokuhou, who will succeed as the Chairperson.]

"What???" Laura Stewart looked completely bewildered.

"No, Chairman Aleister, according to you, you are able to maintain a lifespan of thousands of years in that machine, aren't you?"

Why did you suddenly decide to retire?

"Although I am the founder of Academy City and the leader of the science faction, I am still just a human being. I am tired of maintaining the balance between the two worlds for decades. It is time for young people to step onto the world stage." Aleister said in a deliberately weary voice.

"This is truly a major event, second only to the impending World War. This has caught me completely off guard. If you retire, what will become of our alliance treaty with Great Britain?" Laura Stewart's face darkened. Did this mean she was going to be swamped with work again?

Ever since the Queen saw that she could manage everything so well, more and more things were dumped on her. If this continued, she would be no longer a demon but a beast of burden.

"This will be handled by the second acting chairman. Rest assured, the successor I've chosen will certainly not be a foolish politician," Aleister said.

"Then we can only take it one step at a time..." Laura sighed.

[Well then, I'll hang up now. Please mark your travel schedule carefully before coming to Academy City so they can arrange your accommodation and transportation.]
