"Is the title of Pope too high? In the Church of the Snake God, the highest position I set is only the Archbishop." Thinking of what these people called him, Johnny said with some worry.
"Your Majesty the Pope, please do not be humble!"
"Yes, your Majesty the Pope, you represent the great God and spread His gospel. The church with so many incarnations of gods can only serve the people by being crowned Pope and ruling many civilizations."
"Yes, there are twenty civilizations here, but we have more compatriots in the Balance Star Territory. They have different cultures, and their churches and creeds also have their own characteristics. How can we unite without the Pope?"
"His Majesty the Pope, let's discuss the issue of the Mogors not completing the mission of the gods. I think they should be severely punished."
Among the voices of persuasion from many civilized representatives, only Masuk's speech was different.
Masuk's race is a giant bird called Yoda Eagle. The political system is liberal capitalism, domestic oligopoly, the gap between rich and poor is huge, and the national character is based on the social Darwinism of the weak and the strong.
Bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and robbing others are the foundation of their civilization.
But Masuk is a very capable and intelligent person, and he always exceeds the tasks assigned by Johnny. As for the price, look at the circles of precious claw rings on his paws. Naturally, he will not be the one to pay the price for his extravagant enjoyment.
Casting a sidelong glance at Masuk, Johnny said, "Bishop Masuk, do you have any opinions?"
These people are not only the leaders of civilization, but also the bishops of their respective churches. How they are called depends entirely on the situation.
Seeing that his words were echoed by Johnny, Masuk was so excited that he almost fluttered his wings, "His Majesty the Pope, this is how I see it. Failure to fulfill God's will is a grave sin. Excommunication seems a bit harsh, but removal from office is more appropriate."
Hearing the word "excommunication", the Mogol leader was so frightened that he knocked down his chair in a hurry, knelt on the ground, and kept begging for forgiveness.
Excommunication refers to the expulsion of the punished person from Swarm Network. Under the current system of the Snake God Church, being excommunicated is equivalent to being expelled. Death is a relief for the punished person.
"Removal... Let's do it next time. The church has been undergoing big moves recently, so it is difficult to replace someone. The Lord has defeated the enemy. Bishop Mogor, I will remember you. Do good things for God. Don't make any mistakes again. Pay tribute to your sins and make meritorious deeds."
Seeing Masuk's words had already had a knocking effect, so Johnny followed the trend and let the Mogor leader go.
With this example in front of them, all the civilized leaders in the meeting were frightened and lowered their heads in awe.
Only Masuk shrewdly shouted, "My Lord is incomparably powerful. Any enemy who opposes the Lord will surely fail. Endless glory belongs to my God, long live!"
Other civilization leaders reacted immediately, and the voices of praise were endless. In order not to be stolen by Masuk, they became more active and louder.
Johnny is very disgusted with these flattering guys. It is because of the existence of these people in many civilizations that they hinder the progress of civilization and reduce the possibility of civilization upgrading.
He slapped the table with the tip of his tail. Seeing the Pope's statement, everyone immediately stopped talking.
"I've called all the bishops here this time, not to let you sing praises, but because I have business." Johnny's oppressive gaze swept across the audience, and his momentum was so overwhelming that no one dared to raise their heads.
"First of all, it's an emergency. Our infiltration in the Balance Star Territory has been exposed..." Johnny's first words cast a haze over everyone's minds.
A screen was projected above the conference table, and on it was an Ivins person, wearing a beautiful floral dress, using the terminal on her hand to introduce the corpses of mimic insects killed at customs.
"We don't know yet how many of these lurking bugs there are, but its combat power is astonishing. It was discovered when it was trying to pass through customs disguised as an ordinary Ivans. It resisted and kept changing its shape as the customs guards pursued it."
Host Ivins explained while showing the footage captured by surveillance cameras.
"During this period, it transformed into at least four kinds of bugs and fought with the guards. Fortunately, there was a steel elf force stationed at the customs, and it was finally eliminated with heavy firepower."
"Relevant information is still under investigation. We are calling on the entire civilization of the Balance Star Territory to strengthen population screening and social supervision. The evil tentacles of the insects have penetrated deeply into our side."
Turning off the projection and not listening to the rest of the report, Johnny said seriously, "Just an hour ago, we lost the finger of a god..." (The mimic bug that spreads Infestor in a civilization is called the finger of god and has a high status.)
"The warnings from the Evans people are spreading rapidly on the Internet. It is meaningless to control public opinion now. It will only arouse more panic and suspicion among people."
"In the case of being exposed, do the bishops still have the confidence to control their own civilized order? And not only that, we may soon face attacks from other civilizations."
After finishing speaking, Johnny observed the civilized leaders present with his eyes and their emotions on the Internet.
"There is no problem. The Pope and the government are all members of the church. It is legitimate for us to spread the glory of God and it is conducive to the development of civilization. We make people healthier and live better. Only stupid people will betray God."
"We have not been exposed, and we will not be exposed. His Majesty the Pope, in order to better spread the glory of the Lord, we have made many plans. Our church has always led people to be hard-working, friendly, and united. No one will associate such a church with Consume or killing."
"I just did a check on the network, and every ascender evolved by Infestor is in a safe state."
"The same goes for me. All actions are normal. No one will associate the news just now with us and the church."
He nodded and was very satisfied with the answers of the bishops. These civilized governments have been transformed and are many times more efficient and clean than before. Will the people at the bottom doubt such a government and church?
After all, Swarm thinking never covets enjoyment, nor does it exploit similar people.
The exposure of my brother should be just an accident. This incident is a warning. You need to be more careful in future infiltrations.
"The Evans people are so ungrateful! They rejected the call of the gods and brutally killed a god's finger! We should punish them for the gods!" Masuk said excitedly, and he couldn't help but flap his wings twice.
His words were immediately echoed by all the bishops, and the slogans of jihad were shouted out.
Johnny felt a little strange. Indeed, the purpose of calling these civilization leaders was to see if he could launch an explicit attack. He still had a fleet of 100,000 Swarm, and the Overmind side had also temporarily entered the development stage.
This is a good opportunity for him to perform.
Through this meeting, he wanted to get rid of a few unsteady wavering elements and reorganize the Doomsday Church in the Fan Tianping Star Territory, but the enthusiasm of these civilization leaders exceeded his expectations.
