He is the Holy Son of the Holy See, but a master of black magic.

Accidents do happen.

Driven by the general trend, the Pope decided to humble himself and apologize to show humility.

But also under the influence of the general trend, his behavior is simply impossible.

The moment before departure, the old pope was sitting in the bright church, saying his last prayers before leaving the Holy See.

When he opened his eyes after praying, he saw a figure who looked exactly like himself and was also wearing a white papal robe, standing quietly in front of him.

He opened his eyes wide in shock.

Just as he was about to speak, a "familiar" voice quietly emerged from the bottom of his heart.

"As the Pope, after the light of judgment comes, you should think about why heaven, which has been closed for thousands of years, suddenly appears, instead of fearing being held accountable."

The voice was cold and reprimanding, as if an elder was looking at a younger generation.

"you are……"

The old pope's eyes opened even wider, and his expression was very astonished.

"Are you His Majesty Willard?!"

The contemporary pope is named Dorian Nolan, also known as Dorian III.

The previous pope before him was named Willard.

The Pope is elected for life and cannot be replaced unless he dies.

So of course the previous generation of popes were not living people.

But the dead previous pope has now reappeared in front of us. No one knows what this means better than Dorian!

Heaven attracts the souls of devout believers into it.

The existence of the Pope may not be pious, but he must have merit.

There is no problem in ascending to heaven after death and having the soul live forever.

But if the ascended soul wants to return to the lower realm, ordinary people cannot do it.

It can even be said that under normal circumstances, this would not happen!

But right now...

"The one who will carry out the judgment this time is Archangel Adaniel."

When Pope Dorian was shocked by this, the previous pope standing in front of him spoke again.

A long time ago, this person was actually the teacher and elder of the current Pope, so when he speaks now, he does not hide it.

"Can you still think that such a great being would care about the little things you do?"

Normally not.

Pope Dorian thought to himself as he quickly recovered.

But what if?

What if the archangel saw what he did?

Don't even show dissatisfaction, just leave a bad impression.

Perhaps the fact that he ascended to heaven after his death would become uncertain.

It's not that this powerful being would deliberately target him.

Rather, this existence itself is the pillar of the Kingdom of Heaven and is closely connected with the Kingdom of Heaven.

One thought might fill in a filter for the rules of ascension to the kingdom of heaven, filtering out him as the pope.

This also means that he will not be able to live forever and will die completely.

They may even be reduced to hell, endure hardships, and then be twisted into devils or even evil beings like devils...

Therefore, no matter how small the risk is, we should do our best to avoid it.

But this kind of worry is obviously unreasonable in the eyes of others, especially the successful person in front of him who has already stepped through the gate of heaven.

Pope Dorian didn't bother to explain any more. He stood up, bowed slightly to the other party, and replied humbly: "Please teach me, teacher."

The other party was obviously very satisfied with his appearance.

So after hearing this, he said directly: "This is a game."

"Game?"

"The Demon King of Arrogance is dead, and its two major powers have become ownerless."

The former pope said: "All the beings in hell, even the other six demon kings, are coveting these two powers."

"But how to defeat competitors and successfully use power for your own use is a big problem."

Big question...

Pope Dorian was stunned when he heard this, and then reacted suddenly.

If you want to become a demon king, or in other words, if you want to absorb power, you cannot just rely on force to snatch it.

Even if you can use force to crush other competitors and seize power.

If a challenger who better meets the authority requirements appears later, even if the challenger's force value is low, he can immediately defeat the authority holder with a high force value and seize the authority!

These are the rules for ascending to the throne of hell.

After the death of the one and only king, it became like this.

Therefore, it is simply not advisable to fight by force.

Only competing with rules that meet the requirements of authority and recognition is the best policy.

Now, what are the rules of competition?

Arrogance, lies!

Anyone who is interested in fighting for authority must make decisions in these two areas.

But how can I prove that I am more arrogant and better at telling lies than others?

Past achievements are one aspect.

What we are doing now has a higher weight!

So the current situation is easy to understand.

Being "in a den" in hell cannot reflect how powerful one is in the two major fields.

It would be more convincing to launch some kind of conspiracy in the human world.

And if we say that the archangel who has not appeared for a thousand years but suddenly appears at this moment, blasphemes the sacred, acts arrogantly, and spreads lies under the nose of the archangel...

This can simply be said to be the key to victory or defeat!

The greatest arrogance in the world is to fool God.

The archangel is God’s confidant.

If I could really fool her...

"The appearance of Archangel Adaniel was seen by the hell side as an opportunity to perform."

Pope Dorian, who had some understanding, expressed his guess.

"And if I really leave the Holy See, it will be the best opportunity to turn opportunities into gains..."

Fooling the archangels, but not making decisions about the archangels themselves, will only lead to defeat.

So besides him, the pope who is at the pinnacle of human divine power, is there any other candidate who better meets the requirements?

If, as the Pope, he was tortured, killed, or even replaced in the sight of an archangel...

How blasphemous is this?

"But, Lady Adaniel, why do you want to give Hell side this chance?"

He was a little surprised, but once he thought about it, he quickly understood.

"The Demon King of Arrogance sneaked into our world through some method."

The old pope suddenly said: "Lord Adaniel suspects that this infiltration method is not limited to the Arrogant Demon King."

"That's why I used this opportunity to lure them to the bait!"

The higher the level of hell life, the more difficult it is to enter the human world.

But at the level of Demon King, it can be said that it is basically impossible to enter.

But the impossible happened not long ago.

This is tantamount to a huge hidden danger.

And now, the archangel who has not appeared for thousands of years has arrived.

Coupled with this power struggle, it has become an extremely rare opportunity, enough to make some beings in hell tempted——

If you want to fool the archangel, it is impossible to possess a human apostle alone. Only by manifesting yourself can you have a chance of success!

"It's impossible for Hell to fail to guess this."

The former pope nodded in agreement with Dorian's guess, "That's why I said, this is a game."

Pope Dorian did not respond when he heard this, but stood there and thought deeply.

He understood it all now.

Why did the Kingdom of Heaven, which had been sealed in dust for thousands of years, no longer choose to hide, but appeared so suddenly?

Why would an existence at the level of an archangel pay attention to it?

The root of everything lies in what happened in York.

It’s about the death of the Demon King of Arrogance!

In the face of such a major event, the Pope's action against Andy is simply a trivial matter not worth mentioning!

even……

Looking at the former pope who looked exactly the same as himself, Dorian had more guesses.

Of course, the appearance of the previous pope and his current pope cannot be the same.

Therefore, the appearance of the former pope is not his true appearance at all.

The reason for such a disguise is, of course, to go to St. Marian College to apologize for him, the current pope!

This is tantamount to transferring the risk and preventing him, the pope, from becoming a medium to fool the archangel to the greatest extent.

But is the meaning of this behavior really that simple?

The appearance of Archangel Adaniel will be viewed by hell as an opportunity.

Isn’t this an opportunity for the former pope in front of him?

Risks and opportunities often coexist.

If you can cooperate with the archangel to win this "game" and win the favor of the archangel, how much honor and credit will it be?

Dorian was even sure that the person in front of him was just a chess piece.

Because this person alone is not qualified to leave the kingdom of heaven and come to him.

The Pope is the pinnacle of divine power in the human world.

But after ascending to the Kingdom of Heaven, the "official position" you are given will not be very high.

The exact location, Pope Dorian has never been able to determine.

He only had a general understanding that every pope would enter an organization called the Council of the Stars when they ascended to heaven after death.

But he didn't know what the organization did and what power it had.

What he can know is that in front of the Archangel who is the core of the Kingdom of Heaven, the Star Council is just a small role.

Therefore, the person who wants to pursue this credit and the favor of the archangel will not be the former pope himself.

It's the organization behind him.

But even though he has seen the truth clearly, the old pope named Dorian has no intention of "stealing" this opportunity that belongs to him.

Instead, he listened respectfully to the former pope's plan.

Not everyone is qualified to fight for this level of opportunity.

The Star Council where the former pope belonged has this qualification, but as the current pope, he must be self-aware.

There is a saying in the Far East that the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.

Go beyond your immediate boss and curry favor with your boss’s boss’s boss…

Isn't this looking for sin?

Unless he can use this opportunity to let the legendary archangel pay attention to him, support him, and even treat him as a confidant.

But how is this possible?

He is too old to daydream like this!
