Chapter 1091 290: No Need for Further Discussion with You, Earthshaking Upheaval at the Holy Mountain Council
Looking at the current situation, I fear this group had already made the necessary preparations before beginning their offense.
At the scene, some people were oppressed by the relentless pressure of the situation, and their palms began sweating momentarily, nervously observing the rare gathering of Archbishop Losanda and the priests.
In an instant, the crowd divided into two distinct factions.
One faction stood on one side, facing off against the other faction.
"Mistro, you've truly gone too far with some of your actions."
A bishop standing on Mephiel's side immediately launched an attack, angrily saying, "This matter was discussed in advance within the church, so why are you bringing it up now?"
"Discussed? It was your own discussion, what does it have to do with us? Ur, I gave you a chance, but you forced me to take this action."
Mistro replied coolly.
Archbishop Ur squinted slightly, a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.
It wasn't hard to guess Mistro's purpose, merely trying to make this matter a fait accompli in front of everyone.
In this way, even afterward, Mephiel could not use his considerable strength to forcibly intervene in the members of the Dawn Lord Church, causing them to switch allegiance and regain his papacy.
Mistro's strategy was based on a swift, unexpected move, without providing Mephiel a chance to counter.
Archbishop Ur squinted again, despite his dissatisfaction, his judgment of the current situation remained unaffected.
As a Judgment Chief, Mistro might relax his vigilance in other matters, but for the judgment of such unusual situations, he was always 120% cautious.
In other words, this guy confirmed he could win with absolute certainty, which is why he arranged such a large show, intending to force Mephiel's hand.
But at least for now, most archbishops still supported Mephiel, which normally wouldn't cause any issues.
Unless... Unless there was internal strife within the faction supporting Mephiel.
Who could it be?
A look of hesitation appeared on Ur's face.
Thinking about it, Ur's expression became even more anxious.
Foolish Mistro, didn't you notice there's no change in Mephiel's expression upon hearing your account from that side?
If such an event succeeded, everything would be fine.
If it failed...
The final outcome would inevitably accelerate Mephiel's plans, leading to more unpredictable changes, potentially causing harm to many.
Considering this, his gaze involuntarily turned back to Mephiel, noting the unwavering indifferent smile on the Pope's face.
This time, he was fully convinced the situation had spiraled out of control.
"Mistro, you'll regret this!" Ur said unwillingly.
"Ur, I am the Judgment Chief!" Mistro replied coldly, "Since this farce has already begun, please sit down and quietly await the outcome. May the light of justice and order prevail."
Mephiel spoke as if he wasn't aware of the large group targeting him, "Now, the ceremony for electing the next Pope of the Dawn Lord Church begins."
As soon as his words fell, Archbishop Robert was the first to stand up and speak: "Everyone, I propose stripping Mephiel of the papacy. Someone who can no longer represent fairness and justice is not qualified to guide the future of the Dawn Lord Church!"
The resounding voice proclaimed to everyone that from this moment, the internal transformation and struggle within the Dawn Lord Church had officially commenced.
The scene stirred countless mid- to high-level Priests, some already sensing the events ahead; their expressions subtly shifted whether aware or not.
The Dawn Lord's top officials truly have courage!
Regardless of other aspects, purely in terms of combat strength, Mephiel's power is already exceedingly high, like a black hole from the start, out of which no one could discern the scenery within its unfathomable depths.
The one making the suggestion happened to be Archbishop Robert, who was active across the continent since the era of the Holy Mountain catastrophe — indeed representing the thoughts and ideals of the older generation from the Holy Mountain.
For him to initiate such a proposal undoubtedly meant those old figures were trying to influence many young people's judgment through their maneuvers.
The crowd's eyes instinctively fell back on Mephiel, noticing his much calmer demeanor than anticipated.
"Then, please state the reasons behind your judgment."
"Allow me to explain this aspect."
Judgment Chief Mistro stepped forward, a sharp look in his eyes, his voice slightly hoarse yet still threw his arms up to proclaim:
"Everyone, since the Holy Mountain catastrophe, the sacred Briania has become vastly different from that of 700 years ago. We've moved from ignorance to backwardness, and from backwardness to enlightenment, with numerous instances of church internal restructuring throughout these long years.
