Su Yue watched helplessly as turmoil erupted in his territory, while Schwarz von Richter, dressed in red, stood by.

As if judging heretics, they marched towards the distant gathering place of the Devil Cult followers.

Countless refugees and farmers along the way began to convert to the Holy See.

The servants of the Canaanite territory immediately roared in anger:

"What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?"

"We want to see the lord," said José Serfini Irina.

Another priest said, "Holy Heaven has issued the Book of Angels, and they will purify all evil within the Canaanite lands..."

Looking at that scene, Su Yue thought to himself, "You can't even protect yourselves."

The heretics of the Eastern Expedition were about to overthrow your Pope, so why are you still waging a war of faith here?

"Guards, form ranks!"

A large number of troops emerged from the Canaanite territory.

The imperial soldiers were perfectly disciplined.

They surrounded and trapped thousands of refugees.

José Fernández de Irina was incredibly excited as Su Yue finally appeared.

“My lord, to be honest, we are members of the St. James Brothers of Lord Schwarz von Richter, a fief bishop of the Holy See; you have the potential to become a bishop's fief!”

"A bishopric fief?"

Su Yue was so angry she laughed.

These bastards, from the very beginning, wanted to divide their property and take away the 10 million gold coins brought by the followers of the Abraham Devil Cult; this in itself was an act that had already touched his sore spot.

Now, the result is that his own territory will become Schwarz von Richter's fief?

What does 'fief' mean?

To put it bluntly, it is the pastureland of the divinely ordained shepherd.

The world is divided into two major parts in the eyes of the Vatican.

One section is called 'Secular'; the other is called 'Theocracy'.

The rights of secular lords should be shared with and aligned with divine authority; in fact, some divine authority has fostered a large number of artisan workshop owners and merchant lords, while secular imperial authority has fostered nobles and feudal slave owners; large-scale conflicts can erupt between the two.

Just like the monarchical power and divine power in Su Yue were irreconcilable.

Not all denominations are like Abraham, willing to completely submit to his rule; nor are all people like the Cthulhu cult, sleeping for hundreds of millions or even billions of years. The Holy See is far too prone to causing trouble and creating problems.

Su Yue could see that Abraham was guiding and instigating things behind the scenes.

Even so, Su Yue had no intention of letting the Holy See go.

"Dispatch Europa's lord's exploration force to Gregory to support Gregory." This was the first order Su Yue gave before leaving. With the angel still around, dealing with these Holy See guys would cause quite a bit of trouble.

"It's also very persuasive."

"More than 1,000 refugees joined the rebellion, right under my nose..."

They lash out at the Brotherhood members, claiming that they are the Holy Spirit reincarnated from the Lord, and that if they are baptized, they will receive endless wealth and wisdom in the future.

Su Yue didn't know whether he had wealth and wisdom; all he knew was that anyone who stood in his way would die.

He had previously tolerated the existence of Schwarz von Richter and the Holy See.

It's because there haven't been any conflicts that have gone too far beyond his tolerance and bottom line.

Now they've betrayed us in the streets.

This action has completely crossed the bottom line of Su Yue, the supreme ruler, so killing and bloodshed are necessary.

You lash out at the Brotherhood, but doesn't the St. John's Brotherhood love bloodshed?

OK.

I'll make you bleed more.

Schwarz von Richter, dressed in red, said, “My lord, the heretical church has now plundered ‘evil wealth’ from who knows where. Once you obtain this wealth, you will face the punishment of the temple and the divine, and pay the devastating price of falling into the abyss.”

“The Book of Revelation says, ‘The evil beast, the harlot of Babylon, will destroy the stars and all the lands of mankind. Once you accept this wealth, the land of Canaan will be scorched and engulfed in war.’”

"You may also be afflicted by the curse of the god of death."

A crimson light appeared in his eyes, as if some kind of 'mantra' spell had been activated.

Su Yue naturally wouldn't listen to his rambling.

However, the Holy See's incantation spell cast by Schwarz von Richter on Su Yue had a different effect. It's important to know that magic includes spells that can charm, bewitch, and influence the mind.

Schwarz von Richter already knew that without this movement to change the order of divine authority...

The Devil Cult will forever oppress them.

The key lies with Su Yue.

Therefore, he decisively began to use magic on Su Yue, intending to influence his mind.

Logically speaking, a seventh-rank cardinal!

Even in the dioceses of the Holy See,

They all have a very strong voice.

But the person he encountered was none other than Su Yue.

"Schwarz von Richter has cast 'Divine Enchantment' on you. Your will is subject to a check..."

"The Yellow Seal of the Snail, the ancient bloodline of Cthulhu has protected you from the invasion of magic."

"Check failed. This spell cannot affect you."

Su Yue felt the burning yellow seal... That was the mark of the evil god Cthulhu. Even without the influence of the mark, Abraham was right beside him. How could he be easily bewitched by Schwarz von Richter in front of him?

"Your Excellency Cardinal... may I take this as a provocation?"

The Imperial army of nearly 1,500 men surrounded the chaotic Canaanite territory in a semicircle, and many Innsmouths were also watching the scene unfold.

Schwarz von Richter looked at Su Yue in astonishment.

He was completely unaffected?

He said, “Lord of Canaan, the Holy See can give you everything you want.”

"boom!"

A torrential downpour and thunder roared from the sky!

The sky over the Canaanite territory, which had just dispelled all the gloom and revealed sunlight and divine light, was suddenly shrouded in dark clouds and black fog.

"Dark clouds? Why is it suddenly raining?"

José Fernández looked up at the sky in astonishment and unease… Their sacred prayers and planned actions were definitely not simply a piece of advice and warning to Su Yue.

It is absolutely unwise to entrust your life and death to someone else!

Therefore, they gathered the faith of thousands of people.

The souls of these people.

Inspired by the Holy See!

They originally intended to summon the gates of Heaven, and then, through the descending angels, directly judge the sins of Su Yue, this evil lord, and even use Europa's betrayal of the angels to pray to Heaven!

But... but in their conspiracy.

There is absolutely no connection between this and the current weather phenomenon of torrential rain!

In their imagination, a colossal white cloud, rainbow, angels, and the Gates of Heaven should appear in the heavens to judge all evil; then José Fernández de la Irina and Lord Schwartz would take over the rights of the Canaanite lands, replacing everything with divine authority—and under the witness of the Gates of Heaven, complete the baptism and conversion ceremony of Su Yue!

But what's happening now?!

Why...why were all his rituals and Mass movements distorted and disrupted?

Lord's Log: "Schwarz von Richter intends to hold a sacred prayer ceremony within the walled city of the god Cthulhu to summon Heaven and judge all evil... The gates of Heaven have been blocked by the shrine of the gods and Cthulhu."

Holy crap!!!!!!!!!

Su Yue stared in shock at the scene before her.

He was almost completely overthrown.

More importantly, once the Gates of Heaven open, setting aside the fall of Europa, his numerous followers of the Devil Cult and other evil individuals will inevitably be exposed to the 'absolutely good' side of Heaven, inevitably leading to conflict with the top forces of light. Even if the news gets out of Heaven, he might lose his status as a baron in the Bathor Empire.

At that point, he would have no choice but to join the "heretic" camp of the Eastern Expedition.

Join them in rebelling against the empire...

"That was close!!"
