Chapter 8: The Seizure of Power by the Church
Just when Angel Hiko was not going to answer the prayers of the Angel Church on the planet El, a new situation appeared on the Sky Blade Seven.
"Report to the Left Wing Guard, a message from the Treasury of Sacred Knowledge that signs of demonic existence have been found in the Golden Constellation, a civilization called Shurima!" Another angelic warrior reported.
"Oh? Shurima Civilization ...... Where are the coordinates? ”
"In ...... At a distance of about 50,000 light-years away from the El Star civilization just now, the specific coordinates have been imported into the star map system of the Sky Blade Seven. ”
"......" Angel Yan glanced at the coordinates in surprise and glanced at the young angel warrior.
So...... Coincidental?
Angel Yan shrugged his shoulders and said, "It seems that the civilization on the El Star is really lucky......
"In that case, let's take a trip, first deal with the demons of the Shurima civilization, and then help the civilization of the Elstar by the way."
"Okay, I'll carry out the order right away." The young angel warrior bowed.
"Sky Blade Seven, lock the coordinates, open the Big Worm Bridge Station, and prepare for the wormhole jump!"
"Yes!"
The angelic warriors under his command received their orders one after another, and each returned to his combat post.
In the next moment, the entire Heavenly Blade Seven broke away from the mooring place of the City of Angels, and then jumped into the worm gate and disappeared.
……
At the same time.
On the El Star.
The Pope of the Angelic Church, who had prayed on the altar of God for a day and a night, walked down the altar tremblingly with great disappointment, supported by Bishop Karenna.
"It seems that the angels have really abandoned us......" the Pope muttered.
"Is it because we have done something wrong to make the angels stop caring for their believers?" Karena was also worried.
"No, it's not us, it's the ignorant mortals!" The Pope gritted his teeth and said:
"It must be those ignorant people who always like to break with the world and faith and move towards the so-called new era, and their actions make the angels angry, and make the holy angels disgusted with this world, so that the angels will no longer favor us!"
"Yes, is that so......" Karena snapped.
Just when the two of them were in a low mood, the altar they had just stepped down suddenly shook, followed by an incomparably dazzling light rising from the center of the altar.
Those dazzling rays of light turned into a pair of winged runes with obvious symbolic meanings, as if they were transmitting some kind of signal.
And the Pope and Bishop Karenna, who saw such a scene, opened their eyes wide, opened their mouths, and were stunned for a long time.
"Hahaha......"
"Great, see? Karenna, the angel has answered us! ”
"Hahaha, the divine angels have once again looked at our world, and we are believers who are favored by angels!"
At this moment, as if some new strength had been injected into the Pope's old and shriveled body, he broke free from Bishop Karena's support, staggered to the altar, and fell to his knees in worship.
"O holy angel, redeem the lost lambs of this age, let them return to the pastures of righteous faith, and sow light ...... this world," the Pope began to recite the prayer handed down from time immemorial, his voice pious and powerful.
Bishop Karina, who was looking stupid on the side, also reacted when she saw this, chanting miracles while kneeling down and praying sincerely.
Soon, the anomaly here radiated like an earthquake to the entire El.
The miracle of the angels reappeared in the world, and the angelic church announced that all the evils in the world would be judged, and took this opportunity to send a declaration to the kingdom of Franco, which occupies the western continent, and the kingdom of Seris, which occupies the southern continent, to let them wait for the judgment of the angels.
After receiving the manifestation of the angel's miracle, the angelic church seemed to have infinite confidence all of a sudden, and the tone and attitude of its speech also hardened.
For a while, the situation on the star began to change.
……
A few days later, the Gray Gu Company, the headquarters building.
Lu Yuan was busy executing his "Global Giant Enterprise" plan, and a freshly baked engineering design was on his desk.
Suddenly, Eureka, the chief scientist of the Gray Gu Company, found him and said that there was an emergency to inform him.
As the company's chief scientist, Eureka's position in the company is equivalent to the third-in-command after Lu Yuan and Chief Engineer Victor.
The other party was looking for him in a hurry, and Lu Yuan naturally couldn't turn him away.
Professor Eureka was an old man with a gray beard, he was actually in his sixties, but he looked to be in his eighties.
"Boss, the Angel Church has sent a warning to the company, let's immediately hand over all the technology of the Gray Gu Wisdom Machine, and stop the production and sale of this product, otherwise they will sanction us."
"Angel Church?" Lu Yuan suspected that he had heard it wrong, and he was slightly puzzled.
Where did the Angel Church have the confidence to sanction the Gray Gu Company?
He didn't know about the manifestation of the angelic miracles, so he didn't understand how a small angelic church dared to be so tough on the Gray Gu Company all of a sudden.
Seeing this, Eureka hurriedly told Lu Yuan what had happened in the past few days.
It turned out that after the news of the miracle of the angels reappearing on the Western Continent spread, countless folk believers who believed in angels on the planet were greatly shocked, and even the official government of the Furangi Kingdom that occupied the Western Continent was implicated because of this.
Taking advantage of this momentum, the Angel Church dared to organize believers, under the slogan of "returning the government to God", to attack the government institutions of Franco, and the other party tried in vain to seize power.
Even they had a lot of success, and several cities on the Western Continent hung the banner of the Angel Church overnight, declaring their allegiance to the holy angels.
Within a few days, a wave of reactionary religious belief was set off across the Western continent.
The government of Frangi wants to suppress this wave, but finds itself constrained at every turn.
Because from the people at the bottom of their country, to the top officials, there is hardly anyone who does not believe in angels.
The policemen sent to suppress the riots joined the Pope, and the troops sent to suppress the rebellion were unwilling to turn their weapons on the churchers and believers, and the government officials sent to consult with the church also defected on the spot, holding high the banner of angels and obeying the church's arrangement.
People who believe in angels are everywhere in their country, and the moment the angelic miracle is unfolded, accompanied by the pope's shout, the entire western continent seems to return to the feudal era hundreds of years ago when the church held secular power.
The turmoil on the western continent soon attracted the attention of the superpowers that ruled the other continents.
Seeing that the country of Franji seemed unable to suppress the turmoil of the Angel Church, all the countries, including the country of Seris, also watched the show.
The countries have not forgotten the competitive relationship between them and the Francois country, which is now in a mess, and it is not that no one wants to fall into the ground.
But why didn't the Francos give them this opportunity at all, they directly compromised with the Angel Church, and the two sides discussed, and the official government and the Angel Church reached a consensus that the two sides would rule the Western Continent together.
A riot was quickly quelled, but at the cost of the Angelic Church once again entering the political arena of El, and the official authority of the Frangi Kingdom was curtailed.
Subsequently, the Angelic Church directly targeted the Ceris Kingdom located on the Southern Continent.
Or to be precise, the Angel Church is directly targeting the Gray Gu Company located in the country of Seris.
