"Bang!" As Pope San Francesco clapped his palms together a few times, a group of white bishops walked out of several side doors of the chapel and took their seats behind the envoys.

In the clerical structure of the Church of Light, the Pope, who adheres to the will of God, oversees all the affairs of the entire Church and serves as the king of the Church of Light. There are three cardinal archbishops under the papal throne, who are responsible for internal affairs, extra-religious affairs, and inquisition. Below them are 36 white bishops, who are responsible for specific religious affairs in the major dioceses of the entire Church of Light.

They were all promoted by the most convicted and skilled priests in the church, the Knights of Light. Many of the internal affairs of the Church of Light can only be carried out after most of these white-clad bishops have gone through the pain, and it can even be said that these white-clad bishops are the backbone of the entire church. Even the coronation of the pope must be unanimously approved by all the bishops.

This is why Pope San Francesco has to deal with Cardinal Owen who has repeatedly made mistakes, and why he wants to suppress Cardinal Abraham with bad intentions, he must win the support of the majority of white bishops in order to successfully elect his son St. Paul to the pope.

"Now, in the presence of the envoys of the countries of the continent, before the priests of the great temples, and before all the white bishops, I declare that I, Pope San Francisco, will no longer be the Pope of the Church of Light, and will henceforth devote the rest of my life to the God of Light. ”

Pope San Francisco slowly placed the scepter representing the authority of the pope in his hand on the pulpit, raised his hands and gently held up the papal crown above his head, and placed it on the pulpit with the same care. Thirty-six white-clad bishops collectively stood and bowed to the former pope.

At the same time, the bell at the top of the Light Cathedral on the Holy Mountain rang for a long time, and the melodious bells continued to echo inside and outside the Holy City, and all the Light believers who heard the bell put down their work in their hands and knelt down to the Holy Mountain to make a big salute.

The Dark Speaker, hidden in an unknown dark location, laughed sharply: "That old immortal has finally abdicated, and now that all the bishops are concentrated in the Cathedral of Light, start our plan immediately!"

A faint and imperceptible wave of magic spread rapidly, and as the signal was issued, many black-robed mages or dark warriors in black armor poured out from every corner of the Holy City of Light, killing the light believers who were kneeling down on the pilgrimage to the Holy Mountain.

These men of the Council of Darkness killed people on sight in the Holy City, and did their best to disturb the Holy City. The screams of the Light Believers resounded throughout the Holy City, staining the holy and majestic city with a bleak color.

"Hmph! As His Majesty the Pope expected, these rats in the gutter can't wait to jump out and make trouble!" Larry Harold, who was wearing full white armor, smiled slightly, turned to the assembled knights of light behind him, and ordered in a loud voice: "Now I order, all the knights of light will be dispatched at once, and according to the original plan, quickly exterminate all the evil heretics in the Holy City!

With the order of Captain Larry Harold, tens of thousands of Knights of Light, under the leadership of their respective knights, were divided into dozens of teams and dispersed to designated areas throughout the Holy City, making every effort to exterminate the dark believers there.

The Knight of Light and the Dark Samurai, the Priest of Light and the Mage of Darkness, both of them are fateful opponents who have been entangled and fought for many years, and they are very familiar with each other's tricks and routines. In normal times, when faced with knights and priests of light, dark mages will unconsciously retreat and preserve their strength as much as possible. But today, the days that the entire Dark Council has been planning for a long time, in order to defeat the opponent who has suppressed the Dark Council for hundreds of years, the dark mages and dark warriors are fighting to the death with all their might.

Although this is the Holy City of Light, the Knights of Light have an innate geographical advantage and a numerical advantage, but their opponents are precisely because of this, they don't need to worry about accidental injuries at all, and even many cunning dark mages deliberately throw magic into those innocent believers, causing a large number of casualties among believers, and also making the Knights of Light jealous, often afraid and difficult to perform.

Seeing this situation, the Papal Cardinal Secretary Edward, who was in charge of supervising the combat mission, pursed his thin lips vigorously, and ordered Larry Harold in a cold but firm tone: "Order! All the Knights of Light go all out, without worrying about casualties, and it is the honor of every believer to dedicate themselves to the God of Light and the Church of Light!"

Hearing Pastor Edward's words, Larry Harold had a stunned look on his face, as if he did not expect him to give such an order. However, he reacted immediately, and without hesitation, he passed on this order through special means. The Reverend Edward was notoriously ruthless, and he was so in tune with St. Paul that Larry Harold did not hesitate for fear of being perceived by him as unwavering in his faith.

After announcing his abdication and the removal of all papal tokens, the former Pope of San Francisco took up the scepter, a symbol of the majesty of the Pope, and continued: "Now, by the will of the God of Light, I declare that St. Paul will succeed to the throne of the Pope of the Church of Light!"

Under the loud announcement of San Francisco, St. Paul, dressed in a papal robe with a dark black background and a pure white cross pattern, ascended the pulpit from the side, bowed to San Francisco, and prepared to receive the papal scepter he handed over.

"I'm against it!" a resolute voice of dissent rang out from the side of the chapel and echoed through the vast chapel hall.

As soon as the brush was struck, the envoys of various countries and the priests of the temples who were watching the ceremony were all in high spirits, and they all turned their heads to look at the place where the sound came from, and secretly said in their hearts: The main drama has finally begun! Even the thirty-six white-clothed bishops in the back have some of them staring at the past with uncontrollable attention, and some of them are secretly clenching their fists and preparing to deal with it.

Hearing this objection, the former Pope of San Francisco and the Pope of San Paolo both turned cold, and a fierce cold light flashed in their eyes at the same time. Without hesitation, St. Paul grasped the papal scepter handed over by St. Francisco, and Huo Ran turned around and looked coldly at Cardinal Abraham standing under the pulpit.
