Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Chapter 1090 290: No Need for Further Discussion with You, Earthshaking Change at the Holy Mountain Council

Some higher-ups in the church looked on with admiration and recognition, typically those from the Church of the God of Love and Change, the Death God, and the Frost God.

There were also those whose expressions were extremely complicated, such as some members from the Dawn Lord Church and the Earth Mother God Sect, looking at this Pope who once enjoyed the trust of many, with expressions that could no longer be simply described as complicated.

The atmosphere was solemn.

The Pope, after all, was elected by many church members as a leader. Now, Mephiel is not only a member of the Holy Hall but also the nominal head of the nine major churches. His identity and status are undeniably above many popes.

Even in the current internal turmoil, he still maintains his position, demonstrating that Mephiel still has the trust of most of the church.

"The time we have is short; let us officially begin."

Mephiel said calmly.

As he said this, everyone took their seats, waiting for the meeting to commence.

Mephiel glanced in the direction of the Dawn Lord Church.

At this time, Archbishop Robert sat among several bishops, his expression indifferent as if he cared about nothing.

"Greetings, Robert, long time no see."

"If possible, I hope we don't meet." Robert said coldly, "But some matters indeed need handling, so I came."

Mephiel nodded, not annoyed, and then began following the usual protocols, allowing the major churches to finalize the selection of the Pope for the next ten years and to determine the positions of various archbishops in different countries and regions in advance to prevent any anomalies in future coordination with the Holy Mountain.

Soon, as the council meeting approached its conclusion, Robert suddenly raised his hand to signal to the crowd, "Gentlemen, I have a proposal."

Mephiel looked at Robert and said with a slight smile, "What does Archbishop Robert propose?"

Feeling Mephiel's gaze on him, Archbishop Robert felt immense pressure and instinctively clenched his fist, wanting to divert his gaze, but the heavy burden in his heart made him choose to continue looking at Mephiel.

His eyes flickered slightly, but he eventually made up his mind, took a deep breath, and said:

"I request to reopen the internal review of the Pope within the Dawn Lord Church."

"Reason? Without a reason, making such a proposal can be somewhat insulting." Mephiel's expression was very calm, and he continued, "You should well understand the process required for reselecting the Pope within the Dawn Lord Church."

Indeed, the Dawn Lord Church requires a significant cost for temporarily replacing the Pope.

If the Pope could be replaced at will, the first to descend into chaos would not be the Holy Mountain, but the major churches under its command.

Some had revealing expressions on their faces, some seemed unperturbed as if they had anticipated this, and others appeared to have vague suspicions but couldn't confirm specific situations, causing an array of people to emerge on the scene.

Of course, everyone knew that since Archbishop Robert stood up directly at this moment, he must have been well prepared.

Before Archbishop Robert had a chance to explain, a dull voice resounded.

"It was I who initiated the request."

A priest pushed open the church door and walked in slowly.

Everyone's pupils instinctively flickered as they looked at him.

The visitor was Mistro, and although such a name might not be easy to remember, his identity was quite memorable.

Judge of the Contemporary Inquisition of the Dawn Lord Church.

"According to the pre-established process of the Dawn Lord Church, once the Inquisition discovers that the Pope has deviated from the faith of our Lord, it has the right to initiate a qualification trial for the current Pope."

"Once the qualification trial concludes, if the judgment for the position of the Pope is that you, Mr. Pope, haven't passed, it should be naturally assumed that the current Pope cannot fulfill the basic requirements for this position…

Then a replacement is necessary, and a new election for a Pope must be held; there shouldn't be any issue regarding this, right?"

Mephiel spread his hands and said, "Certainly, no issue, as long as you, Mr. Mistro, have thought it through."

"Very well, then…"

Judge Mistro stared at him intently and said: "In the name of the Judgment Chief, I initiate a trial against the current Pope of the Dawn Lord, Mr. Mephiel."

"That certainly sounds unpleasant. Rare as it is for you all to be so united, well... let's put on a grand show on this special day."

Mephiel said unhurriedly.

As the words fell, one after another, the bishops and archbishops of the Dawn Lord Church, who were usually seen often or had seldom appeared before the public, appeared on the scene.

Mephiel's expression shifted slightly, but that trace of emotion was quickly suppressed.

At this point, some members from more peripheral churches finally realized that internal strife seemed to have erupted within the Dawn Lord Church?

The atmosphere on-site plummeted; neither side had any senior figures speaking, and the myriad bishops below found it hard even to open their mouths.
