However, in fact, even now both the Federation and the Empire are still hesitating and waiting to see at the same time.

The contemporary Pope Francis XIV, who once confirmed the coming of the frenzy, once again ascended to the altar of the sacred oracle in the eyes of everyone's astonishment.

Although, as Francis XIV himself, he apparently understood that what he said was a lie, and from the beginning he would not believe what he said next.

But whether it is the prestige accumulated over thousands of years in the Papal States, or the willpower of the Creator Cult in the name of faith, or even the legendary history of generations of popes.

Each of the above undoubtedly has undoubted magic.

So when Francis XIV came to the oracle platform again, while the messages about the abyss exploration group were scattered, he waited for the top of the oracle platform with such fanfare.

The eyes of the inhabitants of the entire Great Holy Capital were apparently drawn to the Pope himself, who seemed to be about to utter a new prophecy.

But even at this moment, as religious believers in the Papal States who believe in the faith, they are still waiting for the Pope himself to come forward to put an end to those rumors.

After all, since the Pope himself did not choose to stop the exploration of the deep abyss, in the eyes of the devout believers, there would certainly be no unexpected situation.

And if that happens, I am afraid that it will not only be the Pope's own prestige that has been lost.

Even the whole world will be in even greater panic.

However, there is no doubt that this hope of the believers has no chance of being realized.

Because Francis XIV, who came to the oracle at this moment, did not come to appease people's hearts at all, but to create turmoil.

So the lie that had been brewing for a long time was also gently uttered by Pope Francis XIV, who was standing on the oracle platform, in a sad and depressed tone:

"My most pious child, the incarnation of the great creator god 'Mu' in this world, the 364th Virgin Maggie of the Papal States...... She has dedicated her soul to the Most High God forever. ”

"She is the most precious treasure of the gods, the hero of this continent, and the pioneer of the entire human race...... May her persistent and brilliant soul live forever in the temple of the gods!"

......

When Pope Francis XIV's words fell, the pope seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and all that remained was the sorrow and depression of an old man.

And then, Francis XIV didn't explain more than half a sentence of what he said, and he left the oracle Taichung in a depressed manner.

However, just as the Pope once revealed the certainty that the frenzy was about to be temporary, when he said the news of the soul of the Holy Maggie to the gods, so sadly and softly, no one could refute it, let alone dare to refute it.

Then a new information storm swept the entire continent again.

If Su Mu knew about Pope Francis XIV's actions at this time, and from the position of already knowing the conspiracy of the Papal States, Su Mu obviously had to praise the wisdom of the other party.

Although what the Papal States really wanted to express was that the entire Abyss Mission had been killed.

But if the news itself is really confirmed by the Pope himself, no one else will doubt it...... Why was the Papal States so eager to make such an announcement?

Just announcing Maggie's death alone would make sense.

As the Holy Maiden of the Papal States, Maggie is undoubtedly the most theoretically divine member of the Papal States other than the Pope himself, so her life and death naturally have the qualifications to be confirmed by the Pope himself.

Therefore, even if Francis XIV announced her death himself, it was just as natural and unquestionable.

As for whether others will think of more information after the news of Maggie's death is confirmed, it has nothing to do with the Papal States itself, it is just everyone's own delusion.

After all, until now, the modern pope has not really confirmed it...... About the Abyss Tide, about the Abyss Exploration Group, any kind of tangible news!

......

As the Confederation and the Imperial military feared most, the fact that the Abyss Mission had lost contact was now spreading even more frantically throughout the continent with the news of the death of the Papal States' Virgin Maggie.

Even in the Federation, where the people's sense of participation in politics is stronger, several small demonstrations have erupted in order to force the Speaker's Office to give a definitive answer as soon as possible.

On the Empire's side, the populace would not have acted so radically.

However, outside the Imperial City, a large number of residents gather every day, and they are praying for the blessings of the Abyss Exploration Group in an extremely silent and depressing form, while waiting for the exact reply of the Imperial Officials.

With the news of Maggie's death confirmed by the current Pope Francis XIV, the eyes of the entire continent are now undoubtedly turned to the still silent Federation and the Empire.

If even the Holy Lady Maggie of the Papal States is facing such a bleak end after all. As the empire and the federation that are also involved in the exploration of the abyss, will the series of names in the mission that were once extremely dazzling at the academy conference continue their respective legends?

At least at this moment, no one dares to be sure at all.

"I heard...... In fact, the Abyss Mission had completely lost contact with the three kingdoms a few days ago. Even the news of the death of the Holy Maiden of the Papal States was confirmed by the magic imprints left in advance. ”

Rumors are such a thing, but if there is the slightest clue to rely on, it will be like an ant with wings, and it can no longer be limited by gravity.

And among all the rumors now, the most worrying and troublesome thing is naturally the news about the complete disappearance of the Abyss Mission.

After all, the news itself is actually the exact fact.

Whatever the cause of this phenomenon, at least the Empire and the Federation are indeed unable to obtain the slightest receipt of information from the abyss at this time.

Even under the various abnormalities deliberately caused by Su Mu and Yang Zimu, the upper decision-makers of the Federation and the Empire already had great doubts about each other in this matter.

But no one can easily deny the facts in front of them.

Therefore, from the standpoint of the Federation and the Empire, it seems that the two sides can only reorganize their armaments and fully mobilize their respective military forces.

Dealing with the next ...... I don't know where the attack will come from!
