Chapter 171: The Son Descends
"Your Excellency, news from the Holy See that His Holiness the Pope has died."
It's still the island, it's still the house, and in front of the middle-aged white man stood a sergeant, who said with a sad expression.
He is also a believer in the Holy See, and the Pope is God's spokesman in the minds of their believers, and the sudden death of the Pope makes his heart feel that the whole world is a little gloomy.
"What?"
The middle-aged white man stood up suddenly, his face full of shock, but he quickly realized that there was something wrong with his emotions, and quickly took a few deep breaths, suppressed the surging heart, looked at the sergeant with a solemn face, and asked with inexplicable emotions in his tone:
"Did the Pope say anything before he died?"
The sergeant shook his head and said, "His Holiness the Pope died in the Great Hall, and no one was there at the time, but it is said that His Holiness Pope's expression was a little desperate, and it seemed that it was not the end of his life, but that his sudden death was caused by some reason. ”
"You go down first, I know about this, but the war here must not be stopped, and the Pope's affairs will be handed over to the domestic investigation bureau for investigation."
The middle-aged white man, who had calmed down, said in a low tone.
"Yes, Your Excellency, I will send the news back."
The young sergeant saluted and said.
"Let's go down!"
The middle-aged white man waved his hand, and the young sergeant quickly turned around and left the house.
When the young sergeant left, the middle-aged white man looked at his leaving figure with a somewhat stunned expression, as if he was staring at something and thinking about something.
……
The country of American imperialism,
The sudden death of the Pope has dealt a serious blow to the faith of believers in the country, and it seems that there is a tendency to develop in an uncontrollable direction.
In order to stabilize the religious situation as soon as possible, the president of the American imperialist country convened the Council of Elders of the Holy See and directly asked them to elect the Holy Son to succeed the pope in order to stabilize the turmoil caused by war and industry in the country.
"Is Gabriel's injury healed?"
In the small courtyard of the Holy See Elders, the three elders sat on the main seat and asked the physician standing aside.
The body of elders of the Holy See, in the final analysis, is only three people, and when the Pope is here, the Holy See is his hall of words, and the three elders have no real power at all.
Now that the Pope has passed away and the power has fallen, these three elders who have no rights on weekdays naturally have different thoughts, and they all want to hold the power of the Pope in their hands.
In addition, they now have the support of the president behind them, which makes their ambitions even more inflated, although the intervention of the president is indispensable, but it is always better than the previous empty name and no power.
Therefore, Gabriel, who had been positioned by the Pope as the next Son before, but was lost in the sand of the Eastern Country, became their target, and a half-ruined person could be controlled.
"It's not good, he used the Divine Descent Technique, and it has already injured his foundation, even if his superficial injuries have healed, but there is no way to move forward in the future."
The Holy See physician sighed and said regretfully.
"Is that so? That's a bit of a pity, you call him over, we'll have something to talk to him about. ”
The three elders were overjoyed, but on the surface, they remained silent.
Soon, Gabriel, dressed in white and with a somewhat pale face, walked into the elder's courtyard.
It's just that his expression is indifferent, his steps are calm, and he is not worried about his injury to the foundation at all.
Anyway, he is not a person who has assimilated the world, as long as he returns to reality, these injuries will be gone, what he cares about is the experience of fighting with Mao Bingyu before, he didn't expect that the martial arts of this world, the country of the East, are so magical, he can mobilize the essence in the body with his mind, and play such a terrifying boxing technique.
"Gabriel, I guess you know about the Pope."
The Great Elder Benny said in a deep voice, with a slight sad expression on his face, people are old and fine, these three elders, nothing else, acting is first-class and good.
"I know."
Gabriel nodded, he naturally knew about this cheap father, after all, he had opened a small stove for himself a few times before.
"Although we are very sad after the death of His Holiness the Pope, as the saying goes, a family cannot be left without an owner for a day, and a country cannot be without a king for a day, we must also clean up our mood as soon as possible, elect the next Pope, stabilize the situation in our Holy See, and not let the Pope's efforts over the years be in vain." Benny said.
Gabriel knew that this pope made the greatest contribution to the Holy See, so to speak, the reason why the Holy See can become the largest religion in the country of American imperialism is inseparable from the recent death of the Pope.
"What the three elders want to do, Gabriel will definitely do his best to cooperate."
Although I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of these three old guys, this does not prevent Gabriel from saying a few more good words in his mouth, and he doesn't have to pay any price anyway.
"Gabriel, you are the next candidate for the Holy Son predetermined by His Holiness the Pope, and the three of us agree that you are the most qualified to sit on the throne of the Pope." Benny said.
“……”
Gabriel was confused, these guys didn't become the pope themselves, but pushed him up, what is the situation? Did they have a brain pump?
"I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate, Gabriel is just preparing the Son."
Gabriel hesitated a little and said, he is an awakened person, and he has not stayed in this assimilation world all his life, it is not so important to be a pope or not, and besides, there are these three old guys below, he has just taken office, I am afraid that he has no rights at all, not only for example, but may also delay his cultivation time.
"The Preparatory Holy Son is also the Holy Son, the three of us belong to the Council of Elders, and we have no right to run for the Pope's throne, the entire Holy See, as far as you are the most qualified, you should not refuse."
The three elders hurriedly persuaded.
"Well, well."
Gabriel smiled bitterly, this is forcing him to push up, but with his current identity, he can't refuse.
The next day, the Senate directly announced that the Holy Son Gabriel would succeed to the Pope and take office on the same day.
Suddenly, the entire Holy See was boiling, and the originally chaotic situation was also calmed down by this news, after all, the Pope's succession ceremony is the most important thing.
That night, Gabriel, dressed in red and white uniform, was alone in the papal auditorium, praying in front of the pure white statue of the Lord.
The statue of the Lord, carved from a huge piece of pure white stone, is the image of an old man with a white beard, holding a sacred book in one hand and a sun in the other, and his head is slightly tilted downward, as if looking down on all living beings.
His surface was polished to a very smooth and delicate finish, reflecting a glowing white light in the bright candlelight around him, and a smell of holy mercy filled the entire auditorium.
Gabriel lowered his head, a little absent-minded, and seemed to wonder why the three elders gave him the papal position, although they said that they belonged to the Council of Elders and could not succeed to the papal position, but Gabriel knew very well in his heart that the Holy See did not have this rule at all.
Suddenly, a feeling of being watched came to his heart, and the feeling that his whole mind was plunged into chaos as if he was being watched by an incomparably terrifying existence directly overwhelmed his heart.
And the direction of that gaze came from the huge statue of the Lord, and at this moment, Gabriel completely figured out why the three elders were unwilling to succeed to the Pope.
"Gan Linniang, this broken statue will still take away ......"
Gabriel had just had this thought in his heart, and the whole person was shrouded in darkness, and his soul had been kicked out of this assimilated world.
