Chapter 93: Two Churches with Many Conflicts

In New York City Hall, after mediation by the mayor, high-ranking priests from the Church of Dagon and the Brotherhood of the Yellow King gathered in a meeting room.

They were discussing the harmonious development of the two churches in New York, but as soon as they started talking, the atmosphere was full of tension, which made the mayor sweat.

"Master Ancient One, I am here today just to have a frank talk. The believers of your church seem to be going too far."

Casillas said this calmly, but he was actually very panicked.

Even though Ancient One didn't seem to have recovered his full strength in that battle, it was still not a problem to kill him.

Even though he had become much stronger during this period of time because of the great Cthulhu, he still felt unsure if he really had to fight with Ancient One.

When Master Ancient One heard this, she gently raised her hand, and a gentle but not negligible energy wave spread in the air, instantly calming the slightly heavy atmosphere in the room due to the tense atmosphere.

This scared Casillas. He thought that his words had angered Ancient One and that he was going to fight him.

"Archpriest Casillas, I understand your concerns, but please remember that strength is not the measure of everything. It must go hand in hand with wisdom, compassion, and self-control.

I have also heard of the ‘excessive’ you mentioned, but every soul has the freedom to choose, and as mentors, we should guide rather than force.”

Non-mandatory? Freedom of religion? Or do New Yorkers have to believe in the King in Yellow?
Casillas, who was originally afraid of Ancient One's strength, suddenly became furious. He could not tolerate the great Cthulhu's potential believers being snatched away by the Brotherhood of the Yellow King, not even one!

"Excuse me, but your people do not follow the rules and spread rumors to defame our Dagon Church. This is something we cannot tolerate."

There was unquestionable determination in Casillas' voice, and he looked directly at Master Ancient One, trying not to lose in momentum.

"Archpriest Casillas, I respect your position and understand your anger. But please allow me to clarify one thing. True faith should not be based on exclusivity or hatred. The Yellow King Brotherhood and the Church of Dagon, as well as all religious groups in the world, should seek coexistence and understanding rather than attacking each other."

Master Ancient One's voice was gentle but powerful. She continued, "Regarding the rumors and slander you mentioned, I deeply regret it. I promise to investigate the matter and ensure that any violation of doctrine and disruption of peace will be punished accordingly. But before that, I hope we can use dialogue and understanding as a bridge to resolve our differences together."

Seeing this, the mayor quickly interrupted and tried to ease the tense atmosphere: "Dear priests, our purpose today is to promote harmonious coexistence between the two churches, not to deepen the conflict. New York is a melting pot of multiculturalism, and every belief deserves respect.

I believe that through our joint efforts, we will be able to find a solution that is acceptable to everyone.”

You have said all the good and bad things about me, what else can I say?

Casillas noticed that the mayor was gradually showing signs of turning against the party. Perhaps what he said was not biased towards the other side and he was maintaining neutrality, but in Casillas's view, this was a shameful betrayal!

"In my opinion, we didn't do anything. We just increased the intensity of our missionary work. You didn't suffer any losses."

Mordo spoke at this moment, and his words immediately aroused hostility from the priests of the Church of Dagon.

"Master Mordo, how can you talk about our troubles so lightly? Those malicious rumors and attacks have seriously affected the reputation of our church and the peace of believers.

If you, the Brotherhood of the Yellow King, are really sincere, you should stop these actions immediately instead of just talking about reconciliation here!" Evans was furious when he heard this. He stood up suddenly, his finger almost touching the tip of Mordo's nose: "Master Mordo, your words are so irresponsible! Did you, the Brotherhood of the Yellow King, really not notice the source of those rumors?

Or do you deliberately condone or even participate in it? We, the members of the Dagon Church, are suffering from unprecedented slander and misunderstanding. How can you so lightly call it "missionary strength"? "

Master Mordo’s face darkened, but he did not back down. Instead, he responded more firmly: “Priest Evans, I reiterate that our Yellow King Brotherhood has never participated in or condoned any malicious acts against other religions.

As for those rumors, I am willing to work with you to conduct an in-depth investigation to find out the real culprit, but before that, please do not easily pin the blame on us."

The dispute between the two quickly escalated, and both sides were extremely excited. The atmosphere in the conference room became tense again. Seeing this, the mayor and Master Ancient One hurried forward to dissuade them, trying to calm down this unnecessary dispute.

"Enough! Priests, please calm down!"

The mayor raised his voice.

"We are here to solve problems, not create more conflicts. Please allow us to continue the dialogue and find a solution that is acceptable to both sides."

What the mayor said sounded nice, but none of the priests present listened to him.

How could the priests who possess divine power listen to the words of a mortal? Even if he is the mayor, he is just a leader.

"It seems that there is nothing left to discuss between us, Master Ancient One. I hope you can remember what we said today. Our Dagon Church will never sit idly by and watch our believers being harmed innocently. You will definitely regret it."

After a brief silence, Casillas said coldly, then he took his priests and left the meeting room without looking back, leaving the mayor with an embarrassed face.

"Mr. Mayor, thank you for your mediation. Although today's talks did not achieve any results, I believe that as long as we maintain an open and inclusive mindset, we will be able to find a way to coexist peacefully one day."

Master Ancient One said to the mayor.

"You are right, Master Ancient One. I have always thought so. I hope that your two churches can live in harmony."

The mayor forced a smile and used the standard jargon of politicians.

Master Ancient One was also in a bad mood to continue staying here to play house with a mortal, and she called on her priests to leave as well.

After the two groups of people left, the mayor, who had been smiling, immediately changed his expression.

He pulled a cell phone from his pocket and dialed a number.

"Mr. Mayor, are you going to cooperate with us?"
