I impersonated God in America

Page 138

A picture of Axe-Leban was projected onto the center of the conference room.

Golden rain fell from the clouds, and countless people who had collapsed to the ground were gradually regaining their mobility in the rain.

The Secretary of State, Cardinal, held the report in his hand, his gaze fixed on the screen.

"Could even a portion of Apollo's divinity create such power?"

"Compared to that, don't you think Greece has a lot more cards to play right now?"

"First came the sacred fire of Hestia, and then the silver bow of Delphi."

"If a disaster were to truly befall Greece, I do not believe that Poseidon would not intervene."

"To be honest, if Poseidon hadn't caused trouble, Greece wouldn't have experienced a single disaster."

"How dare you! You question Lord Sea God?!"

"Poseidon, hidden behind the scenes, and Medusa... the Greek gods seem to be more generous than we imagined."

It is currently impossible to determine how many deities have secretly resurrected in Greece, but even so, it is enough to make Greece the most dangerous supernatural country in Europe.

"Greece has surpassed the Church."

A bishop said in a low voice.

After he said that, no one in the meeting room objected.

The Church can currently confirm only two high-ranking figures: Archbishop Giovanni and Archbishop Paul. Tarasque is considered half a figure due to regional limitations.

As for the Healing Ointment, although its effects are amazing, it is a limited consumable.

"Moreover, the fact that the Greek gods were all related is quite frightening."

"This time, there is every reason to believe that the goddess Hestia accelerated the awakening of the chief god Apollo."

"It's normal. After all, no matter how much infighting there is, the Greek mythology system is still one family. It's normal for an aunt to help her nephew, isn't it?"

"It feels like their pantheon might be the first to complete its return if things continue like this."

"The only saving grace is that Greece seems to be on the side of peace. If it were some ambitious people..."

【war】

The Secretary of State, Cardinal, stared at the screen without uttering the word, but everyone else already guessed it.

"This is also why we must continue to maintain peace."

"Currently, small-scale conflicts around the world have been significantly reduced after the church intervened through the power of the United States."

"Actually, it's because the United States has caused less trouble that half of the world is stable."

"Not that little."

"In any case, after the United States and the church cooperated, at least they did a lot of work on the stage."

The Secretary of State, the Cardinal, nodded.

"According to the prophet Sybil's speculation, as long as the local conflict does not escalate into a large-scale war, the War Knights should not respond so easily."

"We must buy time to confine the war to a manageable level."

"Until the myth is fully revived."

"By then, there will be enough gods and saints in the world."

"Everything will be alright as long as angels appear."

Then, as if struck by a thought, the Secretary of State Cardinal turned his gaze back to the screen, watching Giovanni standing in the golden rain, looking exhausted, yet still holding Durandal's hand, protecting the wounded and guarding against the wyvern's sneak attack.

"Is he sure he'll attend the Paris Peace Forum in a while?"

"According to Bishop Giovanni himself, he will definitely attend unless he is unable to move."

His eyes became somewhat blurred as he thought about the recent events concerning the vampires.

"I hope I'm overthinking it."

--------

An underground conference room in America.

The waiter slowly closed the heavy door, leaving the room for everyone present.

The Archbishop of Philadelphia, the Archbishop of Chicago, and several diocesan bishops sat around a long table.

"The publicity work is really well done."

The Archbishop of Philadelphia flipped through the newspaper in his hand.

He looked at Giovanni and Paul, who occupied a large portion of the page.

Although the event was ultimately resolved by divine intervention, it still couldn't overshadow the two's outstanding performance.

"Let everyone in the publicity department contribute more; the greater Giovanni's influence, the better for us."

"Although the Tarascon incident failed, it at least revealed Giovanni's limits."

"Will this involve us?"

"will not."

The Archbishop of Boston's expression was somewhat mild at this moment. He not only remained unmoved by the outside investigation, but even seemed to want to laugh.

"The outside investigation is focused on vampires."

"But in reality, the deeper they investigate, the further they get from the truth."

"To be honest, if it were me, I wouldn't believe that the true origin of vampires comes from the power of the Church either; it's too deceptive."

"Especially considering that the church has recently saved so many people in France."

Although the ability to manipulate blood is very similar to that of vampires, their transmission characteristics are also very similar.

None of the people present considered themselves to be vampires.

The Golden Cup represents the heritage of the Church, and its power naturally originates from the biblical system!

Is it reasonable? It is very reasonable.

"How are the arrangements in Paris?"

The moment Archbishop Ducalen asked his question, a bishop slowly unfolded a map, which was marked with a large number of red dots centered on Paris.

“A large number of people have been sent to Paris. The local churches have been basically infiltrated by us.”

"Although most of them are second or third generation ability users."

"But our numerical advantage is enough to support our next move."

Some time ago, when they were setting up their operations in France, the Golden Cup appeared and informed them that they had sensed the presence of the Philosopher's Stone near Paris.

The legendary Philosopher's Stone can refine gold, prolong life, and even touch the boundary between soul and matter.

It is a genuine top-tier sacred object.

This is also a major reason why they keep a large number of people tied up in Paris.

"But remember, finding the Philosopher's Stone is just a bonus; our primary objective has never changed."

"According to sources within the Papal States, Giovanni is confirmed to attend the peace forum."

Will Bishop Paul accompany us?

"Nothing is confirmed at the moment."

"Whether he goes or not, Paris must be prepared."

"For a greater purpose, let Paris be his cross."

Chapter 158 Utopia

A forest somewhere in Italy.

Xu Ge sat cross-legged on the rock, with a tablet computer he had taken from someone else in front of him.

Although his current life is somewhat like that of an ascetic, he has not completely lost contact with the outside world.

Even if the authorities discover him, they might not bother him.

Since he intervened in the Siren incident at Mount Vesuvius, his relationship with the authorities has become quite delicate.

There's a sense of mutual non-interference.

The screen is showing a report on the aftermath of the disaster in Aix-les-Bains, France.

Golden rain, Apollo's swans, the sacred fire of Hestia...

It's getting more and more lively.

"Some scholars believe that the awakening of more and more deities may mean..."

Are former gods returning to the stage and changing the world's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing overall structure, overall structure, and overall character)?

I'm getting more and more easily alarmed. Isn't it the same here?

Xu Ge turned his gaze to the outside of the cave. At this moment, the owl was catching up on sleep, seemingly aware of what was happening.

Fluttering.

The owl shook its wings and perked up.

It tilted its head and glanced at Xu Ge.

Are you looking at me?

Xu Ge stared at it expressionlessly.

"Is it really Apollo who appeared this time?"

"Oh, I don't know."

"..."

"Does it really matter to you whether it is or not?" the owl tilted its head.

"Instead of that, you now need to go to the vicinity of Sicily to participate in the goddess's trial."

[Is this guy upset because I disturbed his sleep?]

Xu Ge's expression was somewhat subtle: "Have all the missions become so vague now? And if it's a trial, are you really that confident that I can pass?"

"Your words should be fine, apart from that."

As he spoke, the owl pulled a yellowed parchment from under his wing.

then.

Clang.

A heavy shield was pulled out from somewhere and thrown to the ground.

"You did a good job on the last mission. The goddess has upgraded your weapon."

Xu Ge looked down at the golden round shield beside him.

Now, the shield features a ferocious face, unlike before.

Snake-like hair coiled around its head, fangs exposed.

Even though it's just a relief, it still gives off an unsettling vibe.

A golden round shield and Medusa's head...

Xu Ge held it in his hand and felt it for a moment.
