As soon as the words were spoken, the room suddenly fell into a dead silence, and everyone looked at John in disbelief!

The disbelief of these cardinals was not due to the threat to Antonio in John's words, which were all too common for such a villainous conspirator.

What surprised them was the attitude of John in his words, especially the passage that 'my Lord will decide the affairs of heaven and the Pope of the earth'.

You must know that in the doctrine that these bishops believe in, the Lord is an omnipotent being, a god of everything, a being who governs everything in the world, whether it is heaven or earth, is the place of judgment of the Lord, and even these cardinals, like the mortal people, are the lambs of the Lord's shepherd, washing away the sins of the Lord.

Even the Pope, who is the head of the World Episcopal Conference, is only the representative of Christ in the doctrine of the Holy See, the shepherd of the universal Church in place of the Lord Jesus in this world! But now John's words have raised the Pope to a level almost equal to Christ, as if in his eyes, the Pope can be on an equal footing with Christ, one in charge of everything in heaven, and one in charge of everything that happens on earth, and become a true shepherd!

Such an attitude, in an era of extremely strict doctrinal enforcement, would almost have given John a charge of disrespect to Christ! But in the current situation, they can't help but ask them to think carefully!

Who is John, who is now an out-and-out favorite in front of the Pope, such a person, the words he utters, in a sense, are likely to represent the will of the Pope!

But the Pope would really make such an irrational decision, make such a decision that is contrary to the doctrine, and want to stand in opposition to Christ, one in heaven and one in the earth! Heaven is unpredictable, unpredictable, and it is impossible to know whether heaven exists unless man dies, but the earth is real, and the earth is the foundation of Christ's existence!

If the Pope really intends to do this, it will be tantamount to stripping Christ of his roots, replacing Christ with him!

At this moment, all the cardinals had a sense of absurdity in their hearts, and they did not dare to believe it, nor did they dare to think whether John's words represented the will of Pope Francis! If this was just John's own heart, then it would be fine, and if it was the will of the Pope, then he could definitely be called the greatest apostate in the history of the Holy See!

"What did you say?!" The other cardinals didn't dare to speak, but Antonio couldn't bear the anger in his heart at all, and directly raised his hand, grabbed John's collar tightly, and lifted him into the air, his eyes were like electricity, looking directly into his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Is this what you mean, or is this what the Pope means?" What are you going to do, do you want to take my lord instead? ”

Looking at Antonio's angry appearance, especially the anger of Su, the light in his eyes flashed, and he was like an angry lion, John knew for a while that he was speechless, and he didn't dare to attack, but he still threatened with lust: "Antonio, do you know what you're doing?" Don't think that because you're the leader of the Cardinals, you can do whatever you want! ”

"Say, whose will do you mean by this, is it your own or the Pope's?!" At this moment, under the burning anger in his heart, Antonio would not pay attention to John's threat, just grabbed his neck tightly, and said in a deep voice: "Take me to the Pope, I will ask him what he is going to do!" ”

"Don't push me to do it!" Antonio's hands clenched tighter and tighter, and John gradually began to breathe, and under the violent gasp, a cold light began to flash in his eyes, and he said to Antonio without threat.

It's just that what John didn't expect was that these days, because of what he did, the dissatisfaction with him within the Holy See had already reached the point of almost exploding, and now he was threatening Antonio, where could the cardinals who were originally watching from the sidelines still be patient, and immediately rushed towards the two, although they were ostensibly persuading, but in fact they were helping Antonio control John and prevent him from doing anything unfavorable to Antonio.

Under the excitement of the crowd, there were even those who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and even took advantage of the chaos and John's defenselessness to directly slap him a few times, adding a little bit of dividends to his originally white face!

"You are murder, you are apostasy, the Pope and Grandmaster Bertrand will punish you!" Feeling the burning pain on his cheeks, John struggled desperately and scolded endlessly!

"We are murder, we are apostasy?!" When Antonio heard this, he opened his mouth angrily, and the strength of his hand holding John's neck suddenly increased a little, and he said hatefully: "If we are apostasy, then what are you, you are a national demon!" ”

For a while, the entrance of the originally sacred church became as noisy as a vegetable market, and the bishops who were fighting in one place were as shameless as shrews who made a fuss because of a piece of eight cents. With such a move and such a character, where is there any so-called doctrine in my heart, and where is there any glory?!

The church is resplendent in gold, and the statues of saints on both sides of the entrance to the church are silent, and the godless and empty eyes are staring directly at a farce, as if they are watching the various forms of beings in the world.

And this scene, if it falls into the eyes of others, it can be called a laughing stock, and it shows the chaos in the Holy See to the point of no return! Only when the heavens and the earth are about to fall will there be such farce and chaos, and this is to explain to the world what kind of dark situation the Holy See has fallen into today!

"Calm me down!" And just when the scene outside the church had reached the point of inextricability, the door of the church suddenly opened, and then along the door, suddenly a voice like spring thunder suddenly sounded!

It sounded as if countless rolling thunders had suddenly exploded in everyone's ears! Under this terrifying voice, the cardinals, who were already fighting, finally stopped what they were doing!

But now they have lost their former holy appearance, and Antonio's clothes have been crumpled by John's kicking and tearing, like a rotten rag, covered with mud and dirt!

But John's appearance was even more unbearable, his clothes were now torn into strips of cloth, and Antonio pinched several bruises and purple marks between his throat, and the originally white cheeks were covered with red fingerprints, which looked like a reservoir dog, indescribably desolate.

"Lord Arnold V, they are going to murder me, they are going to apostatize, please inform the Grand Master and give them a verdict!" Seeing the comer, John suddenly leaned over like a dog in the water and said urgently.

"Your Excellency?" When Antonio heard this, he immediately sneered, his eyes swept towards the person who spoke out with disdain, and said in a cold voice: "See clearly who is standing in front of you, he is just a knight of the Knights Templar, and you are the cardinal of my Holy See, do you have any shame for him, do you feel ashamed?" ”

"The ones who can save my Holy See and my water and fire are these knights of the Templar Order, what's wrong with me calling them adults?" When John heard this, he sneered, and then looked at Arnold V with a blank eye, and said with pity: "Lord Arnold V, you have also heard his words, he is disrespectful to you, that is, disrespectful to the Grand Master, disrespectful to the Pope, disrespectful to my Holy See, such an apostate, please give him a divine ruling in the name of the Lord!" ”

"Stupid and ignorant fellow!" When Antonio heard this, he couldn't stop laughing, and his laughter was full of sadness and helplessness!

"Shut up!" Without waiting for John to retort again, Arnold V was already indifferent, his eyes slowly swept over John, and then stayed on Antonio's face, and after looking at him for a moment, he did not salute the cardinal leader, but said indifferently: "The Pope is waiting for you at the altar, come with me!" ”

After saying that, he didn't pay attention to the reaction of Antonio and the others at all, and Arnold V just turned around and left!

Seeing this lukewarm attitude, Antonio's heart was full of anger, and after stamping his feet inexplicably, he was helpless, gritted his teeth, and had to follow Arnold V, like a teacher asking for guilt, and rushed towards the church.

To everyone's surprise, the originally brightly lit church now had no light, not even the candles lit in the past, not a single flicker, and everywhere was swallowed up by quiet darkness, leaving only the Templars standing quietly in the corner, the holy light emitted from their bodies was faintly bright, like ghost fire.

And in the center of the altar, on the throne of St. Peter, which represents the dignity and heritage of the Holy See and symbolizes the papal throne, there is a dark figure sitting upright, hiding all his countenance in the darkness where he does not see his fingers, so that people cannot distinguish his face and see any thoughts in his heart.

"Your Excellency, please tell me, under your leadership, where should our Holy See go, and what means should we use to defend the glory of our Lord?!" Looking at the person sitting on the throne, Antonio, although his heart was full of anger and resentment, leaned down, slowly bowed to him, and asked in a deep voice.

"Cardinal, you admit your mistake!" As the words fell, a chuckle came from the throne, "I'm not the Pope, I'm Bertran!" ”
