Chapter 611: The Pope’s Visit

In St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, the current Pope, Francis I, heard of the arrival of Sister Mirda and promptly put down his work to meet her.

"Sister Mirda, is there something that requires your personal presence here?" he inquired.

Inside the meeting room, Sister Mirda was clad in a simple nun's habit, devoid of makeup or any expensive jewelry. Despite her actual age being over eighty, the resurrection and blessing of ‘Christ’ had restored her youth, giving her the appearance of a woman in her twenties.

Anyone who saw her would never believe her to be of that age. Sister Mirda's benevolence was something that could not be found in a woman of her twenties, or any age, for that matter.

While she had been beautiful when she was young, her transformation after receiving the divine blessing of Christ made her truly exceptional. Her skin was flawless, almost as if it had no pores, resembling a precious gem. Coupled with her pure and holy demeanor and beauty, she was the embodiment of the image of a saint that people envisioned.

Naturally, Pope Francis I held no impure thoughts regarding Sister Mirda. She had already taken vows of celibacy, dedicating herself entirely to the service of God.

But Pope Francis I was somewhat puzzled. Most of the time, Sister Mirda was engaged in preaching or performing miracles at the Lateran Church. During her rest periods, she usually visited the church's orphanages to care for the children. She rarely made personal visits to the Vatican's inner chambers.

"Could it be that you've come due to the ongoing conflict with the heretical gods happening in the Antarctic continent?" Pope Francis I inquired with a furrowed brow.

While the whole world was focused on the events in the Antarctic continent, the Pope, as the leader of the Catholic Church, remained calm. He wasn't worried about the fate of humanity at all. His faith had grown even more robust.

The Pope believed that the Almighty Christ would not stand idly by as heretical gods threatened His lambs. He was confident that He would save His followers. Moreover, even if they perished, what did it matter? He was certain that he would ascend to Heaven to bask in the glory of the Lord.

This was the perspective of true believers and fanatics in a world where gods existed. For them, life was a preparation for the afterlife, where they would eventually reach Heaven. That's why, in life, they strictly adhered to religious doctrine.

If it weren't for the Christian doctrine forbidding suicide, some fanatics might have even considered ending their own lives to be with their Lord.

In fact, the doctrine of the gods in the world of San Soliel prohibited suicide as well, because living followers could provide more faith.

Sister Mirda simply smiled. At her age, she was well aware that the Pope, to some extent, was a politician. He needed to use the kind of rhetoric employed by politicians, so she didn't see his words as insincere.

"Nevertheless, in the East... Is it China or Japan?"

The first thought of the Pope was of these two countries because they were the only ones in the Eastern lands with connections to supernatural beings.

China had previously performed a ritual to worship Taiyi on Mount Tai, while Japan had called upon Amaterasu. Both countries had been on par with Sister Mirda and maintained amicable relations with them. In the current global political landscape, having such relationships was the envy of other nations.

The United States, for example, was continually seeking cooperation with supernaturals. However, due to the lack of its own cultural roots, it couldn't find its own ancestral spirits and even had conflicts with Native American gods.

England found itself in a similarly complicated situation. Historically, England and Ireland were the cradle of Celtic culture. However, at present, this land was ruled by the Anglo-Saxons, who held grudges against the Celts. When the Tuatha De Danan appeared earlier, he nearly annihilated Buckingham Palace.

Moreover, these countries all adhered to Christianity, which, to some extent, was influenced by the Vatican. This caused significant frustration for the leaders of these powerful nations.

Italy, on the other hand, was in a more favorable situation. The Vatican essentially constituted Italy's celestial empire. The Pope had a polite relationship with Italy's Prime Minister. Furthermore, the vast majority of Italians were devout Catholics, making the Pope's position akin to a fish in water. The Italian Prime Minister was similarly spirited, as this environment favored the Vatican's influence.

"The Lord's revelation only mentions 'the East,' but I don't know the exact location. That's why I've decided to visit these two countries," Sister Mirda explained her intentions.

"In the name of the Catholic Church?" the Pope inquired.

"Yes, in the name of the Catholic Church," Sister Mirda affirmed.

"In that case, I shall accompany you on this journey. It's also an opportunity for the Pope to visit China, which has never happened before," Pope Francis I declared. This was a way to pay respects and establish a dialogue with the supernatural beings in these Eastern regions. While the chances of furthering Catholicism in China were slim, it was still vital to explore a dialogue with supernatural beings in these lands.

Sister Mirda smiled, her aura both saintly and compassionate. This was her purpose. If possible, she also wanted to meet the supernaturals in China and Japan. The sinister presence of an evil god in the East was a cause for concern. After all, she was a kind-hearted nun, personally bestowed by the Lord as an angel!Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))
