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

Chapter 866 254: Kael's Awakening, Twin Mage Tower, and the New Slime (10K)

Archbishop Robert's expression was extremely anxious.

He had lived for many years, so much so that he could even say he was older than the person currently sitting on the papal throne.

The passage of time had worn many things away from him, but his benevolent heart as a follower of Losanda remained intact.

A trace of melancholy flashed in Archbishop Sanos's eyes, and he finally sighed softly, saying, "My friend, prepare yourself to welcome the coming of war!"

The determination in Sanos's eyes grew stronger, and he looked up at Archbishop Robert, saying in all seriousness:

"Robert, I need your help."

"Help?" Archbishop Robert was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, saying, "You want to initiate a Holy Hall Assessment?"

"Yes! Robert, we need more support, to unite. If the pope can no longer lead the Holy Briania towards a future of order and benevolence, then...

let me try to see if I can set everything back on the right track."

The Holy Hall Assessment is the core control institution of today's Holy Briania, established as a relevant system to prevent any single church from dominating among the major churches.

The person initiating the assessment must be a related member as an archbishop or above in the major churches, in order to initiate the Holy Hall Assessment.

It is worth mentioning that the candidates for the Holy Hall Assessment are not limited to the Nine Great Gods' churches and the twenty-four smaller affiliated churches.

This also includes... all churches identified as the True God churches by the mainstream nations of the continent.

Each holder of real power in the True God churches has a voting right.

However, there are also many restrictions among them.

As the core of the Holy Hall's power, each real power holding bishop of the Nine Great Gods' churches has one vote counted as five votes.

In the twenty-four affiliated churches, each real power holding bishop has one vote counted as two votes.

All other True God churches outside the Holy Briania, each real power holding bishop's one vote is counted as one vote.

Then there are the leaders of each church.

The leaders' one vote is called the "final voting power," which only enters the leaders' final voting stage after all the real power holding bishops' voting ends.

Likewise, the leaders of the Nine Great Gods' churches have their final voting power counted as three votes, the leaders of the twenty-four affiliated churches have theirs counted as two votes, and the leaders of the other True God churches have theirs counted as one vote.

It is worth noting that due to the high ratio of the representative votes of the Nine Great Gods' archbishops in the archbishop voting stage,

it is not unreasonable to say that at the archbishop level, the real power holding archbishops of the Nine Great Gods' churches, as long as they unite, can basically control the main discourse power.

The implication is that in most cases, once the Holy Hall begins its assessment, the usual day-to-day affairs of Holy Briania are actually still in the hands of the Nine Great Gods' churches.

As for the twenty-four affiliated churches below... since they are called affiliated churches, the deities they believe in are basically under the main deities of the Nine Churches, and under circumstances where interests are mostly aligned, most archbishops vote with their feet.

However, once an issue escalates to threaten the future of all True God churches, or to put it more directly, harms the interests of all True Gods and deities, then even if the Nine Great Gods' churches want to say no, they have to consider whether the other churches agree.

Due to vote point calculation differences, the practical situation is that when the Nine Great Gods' churches in the Holy Hall unite, they still have a certain chance to suppress the votes of other archbishops.

But if, under such an advantageous situation, they are still unanimously rejected in their proposal for the Holy Mountain, it can basically be judged that there is a significant problem with the strategy of the Holy Mountain, having been rejected by the vast majority of the archbishops.

Having passed this most troublesome stage, Archbishop Robert knows that the scales of victory will gradually shift from the Holy Mountain side to all the True God churches.

Because compared to the archbishop's voting rights, the gap in the leaders' voting rights is smaller, which means that in the actual voting process, the decision-making control of the Nine Great churches over the Holy Mountain is far lower than at the archbishop level.

As a result, many times in history, during a Holy Hall Assessment, once the archbishop assessment stage is over and the final voting stage is entered, the decision made more aligns with the interests of all the continent's True God churches.

This is why, despite the Holy Hall's Nine Great Gods' churches being far fewer in number than all the other continent's True God churches combined, they are still unanimously accepted by all churches as representatives of all True God churches.

It is because the related system of the Holy Hall Assessment can be artificially influenced and is generally able to accommodate what most True God churches recognize.

Clearly, the archbishop from the church of the God of Love and Change has already planned to conduct a new assessment of the incident regarding Holy Briania's surprise attack on the Yibel Federation.

The goal is quite clear, which is to curb the overly aggressive behavior of Pope Mephiel.

In principle, as the leader of the Dawn Lord Church, Mephiel should be able to control many of Losanda's archbishops.
