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

Chapter 1095 291: Holy Mountain Upheaval · The Fall of Mistro, Total War, Anderson's Yearning for Redemption (10K)_2

Now seeing the internal voting within the Dawn Lord Church, Mephiel couldn't even keep his basic position intact, all the previous confidence turned into a joke.

This absurd and unruly scene even made them doubt whether they had overestimated Mephiel. This guy who has sat in the Pope position for so many years was no longer the untouchable figure he used to be.

"What a truly splendid performance!"

Mephiel gently clapped his hands, wearing a genuine smile of pleasure, stood up, and walked to Bishop Robert, patting his shoulder and saying:

"Now, you will be the next Pope."

Then he raised his head to look at Mistro, saying: "According to the relevant regulations of the Dawn Lord Church, since the next Pope has been confirmed, let's send the name of trust in the Pope to the divine realm of my Lord!"

He acted as if he was indifferent to being stripped of the Papal position, sat in the main seat, and began to invoke the Holy Light Power within him, sketching divine texts that floated in the void.

The divine texts glowed faintly, and Mephiel nonchalantly said: "After the divine texts are sent and receive my Lord's approval, you must do your best to carry on!"

As he spoke, his fingers didn't pause, writing all the floating divine texts in mid-air, then he looked at Judge Mistro, saying with meaningful intent:

"Are there any more questions now?"

Even Mistro, who was always picky, did not expect Mephiel to concede so easily. Although there seemed to be something subtle, seeing Mephiel willingly finish writing the divine texts for the Papal succession, he sighed with relief inside.

Although he didn't know what else Mephiel might have in store, at least the Papal position had been regained for now.

"No problem,"

Mephiel nodded and touched the divine texts, which transformed into a stream of light and merged towards the Dawn Lord Cathedral atop the holy Briania mountain.

At this point, those present finally felt the atmosphere becoming lively again, not daring to breathe a word earlier.

At this moment, something seemed to change in the distance of the Holy Mountain. A stream of light leapt from the horizon to the scene, crashing into the glass of the Holy Hall Council in a blaze of flames.

A faint pressure made everyone's hearts tremble. Is this...the power of the Lord of Dawn?

In fact, before they could react, the middle and upper ranks of the Dawn Lord Church had already risen to show their welcome, slightly bowing and saying:

"My Lord!"

From the blazing flames came a faint hum of response, followed by a paper written again with divine texts, falling onto the table from mid-air.

Without a doubt, this was an oracle.

As followers of the Lord of Dawn, they could feel the power remaining on the paper, identical to the power of the god they worshipped.

People began to move forward to examine it, and almost all the Archbishops who read the content turned pale.

Shifting glances looked towards Archbishop Robert and Judge Mistro.

Some showed sarcastic expressions, some sighed in secret, and some even showed expressions of gods forsaken.

Mistro's heart skipped a beat and he immediately stepped forward to read the oracle's content.

With just a glance, he uttered a sound of surprise and anger, but quickly suppressed it, his face turning extremely ugly.

Some senior members of other churches saw this and quietly inquired about the situation.

Before he could obtain information from other top members of the Dawn Lord Church, Mistro gritted his teeth and said:

"Following my Lord's oracle, Mephiel will continue to serve as the Pope of the Dawn Lord Church, until he chooses to retire from the Papal position, after which Archbishop Robert will become the next Pope."

Upon hearing Judge Mistro's gritted phrase, everyone instinctively shivered, knowing this matter would likely become a major laugh.

Indeed, in terms of papal appointment and dismissal, in actuality most churches have the authority to appoint or dismiss the Pope from within. Simply put, who assumes the Papal position is directly concluded by the Church itself.

Of course, for the Dawn Lord Church, the deity would actively respond to the followers' teachings. Theoretically, a new Pope must gain approval from their deity to possess the legitimate power to rule the Church.

But the problem is that for thousands of years, the Lord of Dawn has never actively intervened in Papal selection, even when choices were filled with doubts, and the ultimate victor did not harbor deep faith in the deity, there has been no interference by the Lord of Dawn in papal selection.

Thus, from the beginning, no one expected that after choosing the ultimate victor, they would find the victor unable to obtain the deity's endorsement, even that the deity actively issued an oracle, vetoing the proposed plan by the Church.

This unexpected situation, truly left everyone astonished.

And the impact on Mistro, coming back to his senses, was even greater, as he always believed he was on the absolutely correct path guided by the deity, even actively coming forward to end Mephiel's control over the Dawn Lord Church was due to believing Mephiel was no longer suitable.
