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

Chapter 1094 291: The Holy Mountain's Upheaval · The Fall of Mistro, Total War, Anderson's Yearning for Redemption (10K)

However, at this moment, Mephiel revealed a somewhat strange smile.

Did it appear to be... mocking?

Mistro's heart skipped a beat, feeling as if he had made a mistake.

Before he could think further, Mephiel, still smiling, said, "Clever move, but it doesn't matter to me, as long as you're all happy."

Mephiel shrugged, as if letting go, shaking his head as he said, "I've agreed to change the position of the Dawn Lord's Papacy. Since the decision has been confirmed on-site, why not go a step further and complete the papal transition here?"

Seeing Mephiel so at ease, this time it was Mistro's turn to panic.

Even though he was immensely confident in his judgment, believing that Mephiel had strayed from the Lord of Dawn's tenets, the current scene showed that most of the Lord of Dawn's followers were supporting his side, and Mephiel's foundation in the Dawn Lord Church had been shaken.

The next step was to leverage his influence to quickly eradicate Mephiel's impact in the Dawn Lord Church after completing the power transition, thus trying to interrupt Mephiel's thriving status, and eventually find a way to suppress this unjust war and restore peace between the two countries.

He was striving with such expectations.

But why, why!

That guy Mephiel was still smiling!

As if mocking his own stupidity, but standing here now, shouldn't the winner be me?

His mind felt chaotic, feeling a bit stuck between actions.

It was then that Mephiel looked at the crowd, with a light-hearted tone, saying, "So, who do you plan to appoint to this papal position?"

Seeing Mephiel's crafty expression, Mistro hesitated for a moment but decided to proceed with the original plan.

He did not believe that, in such a desperate situation, Mephiel could still turn the tables!

He gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and said, "I believe Archbishop Robert, who has labored diligently for so many years in the mission district, is a trustworthy and capable veteran Archbishop of the Dawn Lord Church and is suitable to be the next Pope."

With Mistro speaking up, after a moment of hesitation, the surrounding Archbishops also began to speak of their candidates, and naturally, the two main figures driving this council in this direction, Robert and Mistro, became the primary candidates.

However, Mistro stated that he had no interest in becoming Pope, wanting only to focus on his work in the Inquisition. If there truly were any intentions, he would support Archbishop Robert.

With Mistro's strong support, the scales quickly started tipping toward Archbishop Robert, perhaps with some subtle intentions hidden in their hearts.

After all, truth be told, compared to Mistro, Archbishop Robert was the Godfather of the renowned Kael.D.Helois!

This special identity often plays a unique role in actual negotiations.

In fact, the insider group of the Dawn Lord Church hoped for a friendly discussion with the Bell Federation, but considering the increasingly tense situation between them, it felt as if there were no ending in sight, causing both countries to start separating insiders from outsiders actively.

It seemed like both parties at this moment were creating information islands to block each other from any peeking.

However, everyone knew it was impossible to completely isolate information. It was more about whether both sides were willing to have a discussion.

It was then they realized how crucial individuals like Robert, who could indirectly communicate and talk with the high-ups in the Bell Federation, had become.

Especially those with special status and position, like his godson Helois Monarch, because if they could smoothly dialogue with him, it could help the Dawn Lord Church have peaceful and friendly communications with the Federation.

After all, everyone knew that Helois Monarch's influence in the Bell Federation was growing.

Many times, the simplest way to end a war is to reach a mutual agreement and compromise from top to bottom.

It's not about being weak, merely feeling that this war should not have erupted.

This is why, during this papal re-election, many Archbishops and Bishops planned to replace Mephiel, firmly believing that absolute justice, although elusive, certainly exists, and by working a bit harder, they can get closer to the justice they pursue.

The mid to senior members from various churches on-site watched this scene in a daze. Before this, seeing Mephiel's confident demeanor, it felt like no one could stop his choice.

Such a resolute attitude gave them the illusion that Mephiel could win.
