After evolving from an eagle-man into an angel, I annihilated the gods.

In the courtyard.

Ponte Reinhardt stood before the high priest, his face filled with reverence and fanaticism.

"High Priest, the Church of Light—the meaning is profound yet simple. In this world, only light is eternal. The holy light dispels all darkness, and the whole world is enveloped in the glory of our Lord. Isn't that wonderful?"

“Ponte, your idea is indeed good, but this kind of matter still needs to be reported to my God for His judgment!”

The high priest answered.

at this time.

A gentle yet authoritative voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

"The Vatican's idea is good, I agree."

The high priest and Ponte Reinhardt immediately turned to look.

Outside the courtyard, a handsome and dignified young human man strolled in with his hands behind his back.

Behind him followed a beautiful blonde woman, equally dignified.

Such appearance and figure, such majesty and demeanor, are simply unlike those of an ordinary person.

In addition, there were the words Jiang You said at the beginning.

"You are...."

They were filled with doubt and uncertainty.

Jiang You smiled slightly, and a phantom of a platinum moon appeared behind him.

The bright, shining light bathed the entire courtyard in a golden hue!

A profound and expansive feeling, like the vastness of the sky, struck their hearts.

The two human priests exchanged a glance, were immediately shocked and trembled, and knelt down at lightning speed, shouting excitedly.

"The humble human believer Mulik (Ponte) worships the great Lord. How fortunate we are to be able to see the true face of God on earth!"

Jiang You looked at the High Priest of the Platinum Temple and Ponte Reinhardt kneeling on the ground and smiled gently.

"Get up."

When they stood up in fear and trepidation, they bowed their heads respectfully and stood at attention.

His gaze drifted leisurely into the distance as he spoke softly.

"I was told about the church's role long before the Church of Dawn appeared in Arodas."

The church is better positioned to reap the benefits of faith.

Unlike churches, temples do not regularly organize people to worship gods.

“But I am different from them.”

He doesn't need the power of faith.

But now that the threat of the Abyss Demons has emerged, the Church or even the Papacy, with its superior organizational capabilities, is the right choice.

At different times, the choices required are different, and the things that need to be done are also different.

"But now, things are different."

"I permit you to establish the Papacy."

At this point, Jiang You looked at Ponte Reinhardt and smiled.

“The name of the Papacy that Ponte mentioned is quite nice.”

"However, we need to add two more words in front of it, let's call it 'Holy Light Church'!"

I heard the title "Holy Light Church".

A flicker of confusion crossed Pont Reinhardt's face, but he quickly masked it.

But he was hesitant.

"In that prophecy, I remember it was called the Church of Light."

"How could that be? It has an extra 'sacred' compared to the prophecy."

at this time.

Jiang You's voice suddenly echoed throughout the courtyard.

"Is it different from the prophecy?"

Upon hearing this, Ponte Reinhardt raised his head, not daring to look directly into Jiang You's majestic purple eyes, wanting to speak but not daring to utter a word.

But then Jiang You smiled softly and said to him.

“Ponte, you see, just from the name of the Papacy this time, we can see that prophecies cannot be completely believed or relied upon.”

"You should make good use of it."

Ponte Reinhardt responded quickly after hearing this.

"Yes, my God! Ponte Reinhardt will remember your teachings!"

The personal admonition from the great Lord of Judgment filled him with awe, and he dared not rely on prophecy excessively again.

sunny.

A gentle breeze rustled the grass and trees in the courtyard, and a cool sensation touched the skin.

Jiang You looked at the two people standing before him and continued speaking.

"A demonic calamity is coming. Perhaps, there are already traces of demonic activity in the world today."

“I need you to start now to establish the Papacy, and at the same time select some people of firm faith from among believers in various places to become the Papacy’s workers.”

"You can name these positions yourselves; the overall goal is to expand the Vatican's organizational capacity."

"If necessary, you can organize some armed forces belonging to the Holy See to assist you in clearing out those who have been bewitched by demons. But you must use this force with caution."

"I obey your will!"

The two knelt down again.

Jiang You nodded, then thought of the priest of the Lord of Dawn.

The priests, blessed with divine magic from the Lord God, are also a powerful fighting force.

However, Jiang You does not follow the system of gods and does not use the power of faith.

But these beliefs will not disappear.

He has some ideas and wants to make use of this power of faith, but for now, he hasn't found a way.

After all, he did not have a divine status, which is the core that connects believers and gods.

But from this moment on, he had to start thinking about it.

"Also, Ponte, even if you establish the Papacy, you cannot neglect your professional training."

Jiang You gave him another reminder.

If the prophetic system is neglected because of this, his two daughters will blame him.

"Yes!"

"Do your best, I am watching over you from heaven."

After saying this, Jiang You revealed his true form, and a radiant light shone forth. Eight holy wings instantly illuminated the entire world before he ascended into the sky.

Lucifer followed closely behind, revealing a pair of pure white wings, and flew up into the sky behind Jiang You.

"Farewell, God!"

"Farewell, God!"

Faced with the miracles that Jiang You deliberately displayed, the two of them, along with countless human believers in New Pollek City, all knelt down.
