Arriving at the underground office of Archbishop with ease, Angel looked around and found that the high-backed chair previously placed in the corner had been replaced by a comfortable single sofa, so he sat on it without hesitation.
Anthony Stevenson, wearing a soft hat and deep eyes, returned to the back of his long desk and sat on a chair.
Without seeing any movement from him, the light in the entire office became dim. The light emitted by the candles on the surrounding walls was limited to a very small area, like a few fireflies, while more areas were plunged into darkness, making people feel calm.
In the darkness, Anthony said in a soft voice:
"Your Highness, Goddess has issued an order to Divine Revelation, requiring you to attend a later meeting to discuss important matters."
Meeting? Right here?
Angel nodded in understanding, guessing that all the senior church members of Backlund Diocese might be summoned next. However, Anthony's eyes turned dark, and the gaze he looked at her had a deep, dark power, which made her senses dull and fell into confusion.
"Please be assured that this is a necessary step for the meeting."
Archbishop's words reached Angel's ears, making her who was a little wary and ready to take the initiative to get rid of the power of "Nightmare" relax, and simply adjusted her posture to lean on the sofa comfortably.
Immediately, she found that her hands, feet, and body were disappearing bit by bit as if they were erased by an eraser, and the same was true for Anthony sitting behind her desk.
This... is not only "Nightmare", but also a "hidden" power? What can easily affect me, Angel, is probably not the power of Sequence 3 and Anthony, but some kind of large-scale ceremony... As her thoughts turned, the candlelight, tables, chairs and bookshelves in the surrounding office slowly sank into darkness, replaced by a huge stone palace, a large round table and wooden high-backed chairs surrounding the table.
"We are here, Your Highness Goddess Shadow, this is the venue of 'Meeting Before God'."
Next to Angel, Anthony in a robe suddenly appeared and introduced her. His eyes paused on her face for a moment, then he quickly lowered his head and looked away.
Only then did she notice that the disguise she had put on before going to Saint Samuel Cathedral had all disappeared, and she appeared in this palace with her most authentic face.
This should be some kind of dream ritual... Meeting Before God, meaning a meeting held under the watchful eyes of Evernight Goddess like Tarot Club?
Angel looked around with enlightenment and found that in the door openings on the walls around the ancient palace, different figures were outlined one after another. There was "Servant of Concealment" Arianna that she recognized., "Goddess's Sword" Cesimir, "Goddess Heart" Dunn, Daly Simone, but more of them were men and women she had never seen before.
Fortunately, Archbishop Anthony, who was beside her, took advantage of the opportunity before everyone sat down to introduce the other members to her in a low voice, so that she would not make a joke in the subsequent meeting.
The old man in a black robe dotted with stars, with white beard and hair, a slim face, and dark eyes is the current Pope, Saint Dabomachie. His eyes briefly stayed on Angel, and he nodded, as if he already knew her.
The woman with beautiful black hair and beautiful appearance who looks younger than Arianna is "Goddess Eye" Iliya, a "Horror Bishop" of Sequence 3. Her eyes like twinkling stars have stayed on Angel for a long time.
With the introduction of Anthony, the identities of the other two Angel and more than a dozen Saint quickly matched up with the content of the church Holy Bible in Angel's memory.
Including me, there are a total of eight Archbishop and eleven senior deacons. Except for those who did not become Demigod, almost all Saint and Angel who survived the war came to this dream palace and participated in "Meeting Before God"... Angel counted the numbers and thought secretly.
The reason why I say "almost" is because the Leonard Mitchell she knew was not present. Although he had become Sequence 4's "Nightwatcher", he was promoted on the front line during the war and had not been trained and assessed by Holy Cathedral, and was not allowed to participate.
Soon, everyone sat at the round table with a dark surface and wooden texture inside. Except for the few people Angel knew, almost everyone looked at her. On the one hand, they were attracted by her appearance, and on the other hand, they were confused by her appearance.
Pope Dabomachie, who presided over the meeting, spoke at the right time and introduced in a gentle and gentle voice:
"This favored one of Goddess, 'Goddess Shadow' Angel Granger, has been performing secret missions before. Now Sequence has officially returned to the church and participated in the meeting as a senior deacon.
"He is also 'Calamity Angel' on Holy Bible."
Everyone's doubtful eyes immediately turned to respect, even those of the same or opposite sex like Sequence 4 or Sequence 3 who couldn't completely resist the charm of Angel.
Because he didn't know how to deal with this situation, Angel was silent for a moment, stretched out his hand and tapped four times on his chest to draw stars, and said in Gentle Beauty's voice:
"Praise Goddess."
It seemed that they did not expect that the self-introduction of the new church Grounded Angel was so simple. Everyone was stunned for a moment before praising Evernight Goddess.
Then, to Angel's surprise, Meeting Before God went directly to the topic without any polite words or praise for Goddess's power and authority.
"Goddess has issued the latest Divine Revelation," Dabomachie's words became serious, completely different from when he introduced Angel, "Each diocese will immediately launch a campaign to suppress the evil sect. Once there is clear evidence, there is no need to capture him alive, and he cannot listen to his fallacies, just Execution!"
"Including 'Aurora Order'?"
asked Archbishop of Constant City.
"The methods for dealing with covert organizations such as Aurora Order, Demoness Sect, Psychology Alchemists are the same as before. There is no need to deliberately attack them. The focus will be on 'Rose School', 'Truth Sect' and the following organizations that have recently emerged..."
Dabomachie replied, reading out more than a dozen emerging sects that have appeared in the past six months like a dish. Without exception, they all believe in the weird "Great Existence". They claim to be able to get Redemption at Apocalypse, and their behavior is even worse than "Aurora Order" at its craziest time.
This naturally includes the names of the "Sinner" organization, "All Things End Society" and "Gourmet School" that Angel saw in the cell of "Night Emperor" Underground Memorial Hall.
Of course, most of the senior deacons and Archbishop present are just Saint, and have not yet reached the stage where they can safely understand the knowledge of "Outer Deity". The Pope also blurred this point in his words, just telling them not to believe any words of the cultists, and to be cleared immediately once their identities are confirmed.
This may cause many accidental injuries, and it is equivalent to giving up those believers who have just come into contact with these evil gods and have not been truly contaminated. However, in order to protect the more important official Beyonder, we can only "use heavy scriptures in troubled times".
Members participating in the meeting quickly understood the determination contained in Divine Revelation conveyed by the Pope, and the focus of the discussion shifted to how to cooperate with major dioceses to make full use of the mobile power of Sealed Artifact and senior deacons with no fixed duty scope to eliminate cult believers.
Watching their discussion, Angel suddenly felt like returning to "Tarot Club", except that no Fool was hiding behind Gray Fog to peek...
Suddenly, Dabomachie looked over and asked:
"As for the current situation of the 'Sinner' organization, please introduce 'Goddess Shadow' Your Excellency."
Huh? Me?
Angel could hardly hold back her silly expression. Only then did she realize the real reason why she was pulled into the meeting this time just after praying to Goddess and "handing over" the information. In addition to introducing herself to other senior deacons and Archbishop and going public, the most important thing was to share information.
Maybe they will assign me a task later to attack Outer Deity believers... She muttered a few words, sat up straight, recalled the information dug out from the mouth of "Mendicant Monk" in the single cell, and said:
"This begins with a bankrupt businessman in the late war..."
Rhoside Islands, within "Wave Church" of Bayam.
Cardinal Bishop Alger Wilson walked out of his office, feeling a little buzzing in his head.
He had just received an order from Gade II, the crown prince of Pope, who was far away in Storm Abyss, to clear out all the "Rose School" strongholds in this city and surrounding islands. He also attached a long list of "evil sects", which were to be eliminated immediately once discovered, without the need for a complicated interrogation process.
Alger was a little surprised by this approach of preferring to kill the wrong person. Even the violent "Mandated Punishers" had never done this before, and they would still interrogate them to avoid killing good people by mistake.
Could it be that "Apocalypse" is approaching and something big is about to happen... He couldn't help but think of what Mr. "World" said on Tarot Club before.
But doubts were doubts, and he did not dare to delay the church's tasks. He quickly summoned Captain Mandated Punishers, who was in charge of this aspect, and assigned the tasks.
Although those Demigod of "Rose School" are elusive and know how to cover up their whereabouts, those Beyonder of Low Sequence, especially those at sea, often expose themselves due to indulgent behavior. Church of Storms has found many of their strongholds before, but most of them were just under surveillance and not dealt with immediately.
This is the right time to catch them all in one go.
Thinking of this, Alger was hesitating whether to let the team of "Shadow Guard" he had cultivated privately join in the siege of the cult. While accumulating combat experience, he could also get some of the loot. Suddenly, the familiar Gray Fog appeared in front of him, and the majestic voice of Mr. "Fool" also reached his ears.
"... On the premise of not endangering one's own safety, actively cooperate with the major churches in their actions against the evil sect."
Mr. "Fool" is going to take action against them too?
Alger was surprised at first, and then joy filled his heart.
He was worried that the immigration of "City of Silver" was about to end, and how he could accumulate contributions in exchange for the identity of "Sea God". A new mission appeared, and it was exactly the same as the mission of the church!
No longer hesitating, he wrote a simple letter and sent it out of the church with a gentle breeze.
Saint Samuel Cathedral Underground, Angel woke up from the dream.
She let out a long breath, looked at Archbishop Anthony who also opened her eyes, and sighed at the magic of "Meeting Before God".
She guessed that although Evernight Goddess did not actually attend the meeting, he must be paying attention to the exchanges between Archbishop and the senior deacons. Otherwise, even a certain Angel's power would not be able to allow members of the Loen Kingdom to enter Dream Invasion at the same time and go to the dream palace.
I don't know how I performed the first time... She mumbled, said goodbye to Anthony, and left Archbishop's office.
At the end of the meeting just now, she accepted the task assigned by Pope Saint Dabomachie and presided over the next operation to the Southern Continent to fight against "Rose School". This was not only because she belonged to One of the few Angels in the church who can move freely is also because in the process of dealing with the followers of the evil god, she was able to fully digest the last bit of "Catastrophe" Potion and prepare for promotion.
And because he knew that Apocalypse was approaching and "Outer Deity" might increase the power of the invasion at any time, Angel was a little more anxious to clear out these Outer Deity believers. Although they can only send one Angel to reality before the barrier breaks down, at the moment when the earth is strictly guarding it, it is almost equivalent to sending Beyonder Characteristic and information, but what if something unexpected happens...
With such thoughts in mind, Angel returned to the Great Prayer Hall and was about to leave the church when she suddenly found a familiar figure waiting for her by the door.
Dunn Smith!
It turns out that he was also participating in "Meeting Before God" underground in the church. I thought he hadn't come back from Holy Cathedral yet... Angel calmed down his chaotic thoughts and stepped forward. Just as he was about to say hello, Dunn pressed his hat a little awkwardly and whispered:
"I hope you and Klein can attend my wedding with Daly, which will be this Saturday."
