Chapter 914 262: Who Exactly Is This Kael Guy? The Main Course of the Magic Festival? (10K)
The Dawn Lord Church, the conversation within the Heresy Tribunal is naturally unknown to Pope Agatha.
Due to inner agony, she is currently under considerable psychological pressure.
From her heart, she absolutely did not want to cast those two votes that should not have been cast at the Holy Hall Assessment, because she knows that once she does this, it will certainly influence the choices of a significant portion of the Church.
The Churches that will unconditionally follow the steps of the Earth Mother Goddess Church are numerous; her choice will directly determine the stance of these Churches.
As for the reputation of the Earth Mother Goddess Church, Agatha is well aware, even within the whole of the sacred Briania, in terms of potential influence among the people, no Church can rival the Earth Mother Goddess Church.
There are indeed gaps between Churches.
It's not solely a matter of differences in Church power; it includes the potential influence of the Church as well.
Undoubtedly, over the years, the Earth Mother Goddess Church has deeply rooted itself among the common people, devoted to allowing more living beings to lead a life of food and warmth. The potential prestige accumulated over such a long time even surpasses that of Losanda's Dawn Lord Church.
After all, within the Dawn Lord Church, there also exists a group with a mixed reputation due to its unique style of action - the Heresy Tribunal.
For many people, they might applaud seeing the Heresy Tribunal punish evil doers, but when it comes to associating themselves with the Tribunal, they are extremely reluctant.
Especially the harshly extreme Losanda Tribunal.
Who would willingly become the innocent soul under the Tribunal members?
Therefore, although almost every Church has something like the Heresy Tribunal, most of the time when people mention the Heresy Tribunal, they instantly associate the term with the Heresy Tribunal under the Dawn Lord Church.
There is really no choice; Losanda, with his powerful Divine Power, is renowned for his hatred of evil, and the divine authority he commands inherently includes concepts like justice, naturally making the Heresy Tribunal under him the least tolerant of evil.
Being too extreme easily results in bias.
The Heresy Tribunal's unwavering pursuit of belief sometimes attracts criticism.
In contrast, the subtle and understated doctrines like those of the Earth Mother Goddess Church often become increasingly ingrained in people's hearts over time.
And this ingraining leads more young people who admire such doctrines to join the ranks of Priests of Chalia.
Agatha, in her younger days, was similarly attracted to the Church of Chalia.
After so many years, Agatha can confidently say she is worthy of the Church, worthy of the believers, and even more worthy of herself; this straightforward life is just like that.
However, as she is about to step down from her role as Pope of the Earth Mother Goddess Church, she, who rarely received direct Divine Oracles from Chalia, received an unusually rare Divine Oracle from her God.
Especially in the Oracle, it was explicitly mentioned that among the future arrangements related to the Holy Briania Papal State, there is a special provision targeting the current Pope Mephiel.
Her revered deity instructed her that when facing Mephiel, she must do her utmost to support and win over this nominal Dawn Lord Church Pope.
Such a situation left her incredibly shocked.
You know, not discussing the right or wrong of the matter, to fully support Pope Mephiel, the implied meaning of this is not something one would dare to think deeply about.
Could it be that if Mephiel proposed to directly kill the popes of the other nine major Churches, she would have to agree to it?
This is obviously illogical.
Is it that Mephiel himself possesses such astonishing influence, or has he used some small trick that she has not yet seen through?
Agatha even suspects whether she has been deceived by someone.
After all, within the ancient records of the Holy Briania Papal State, professions exist that can mimic the aura of other deities to pass down Divine Oracles.
There are even professions that can somewhat mimic the power of other deities to disguise as priests of other deities and deceive believers, not entirely absent.
For example, the Abyss Power-derived "Desecration Ritual," or the "Son of Lies" under the influence of the Prince of Lies' power...
Similar professions developed to the extreme are not impossible to deceive Agatha.
Therefore, upon hearing this Oracle, Agatha's first reaction was if she had been fooled.
Except for the matter related to Chalia's people, after her Harvest Goddess had issued the Oracle, making clear the handling method for Chalia's people, she heard for the first time that her own Goddess would ignore the potential adverse consequences of other choices, demanding her direct support for Pope Mephiel's measures.
This is illogical, highly illogical.
But... because of some information she received from another trustworthy source, she vaguely had some speculation about this illogical phenomenon.
Ultimately, with a slightly panicked mindset, she chose to believe the words of the God.
Then, before long, a group of beings, goblins in her view, which had faded into the annals of history, thus regained life from Death.
