"How did Gensokyo manage to capture the captured prisoners?"
The Pope held the intelligence report passed on by his subordinates, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.
From his perspective, with the strength of Hoshijou Mari, even if the task is exposed and surrounded by individuals with abilities from the Garden of Education, she can at least escape unscathed.
The capturee disappearing was something he never expected.
The Academy City is indeed a formidable force, having developed so many powerful espers with the Ruby as its foundation.
However, in reality, he did not particularly care about it.
On the surface, it seems that the major churches in the magical world and the Academy City in the scientific world are evenly matched, but in reality there is still a significant gap between them.
The reason for the evenly matched situation is that the major churches in the magical world are fundamentally not united, and there is both open and hidden conflict, with each one seeking to incorporate the world into its church territory.
At least, the Popes of the major churches think so.
"It only shows that the group of espers in Academy City have not made any progress."
At this moment, a man in a red suit, hands in his pockets, emerged from the shadows.
The Pope saw the man's face change slightly:
"Right Side of Fire, what are you doing in secret? What do you want to achieve?"
"What am I doing? Of course, it's to bring about world peace and make everyone happy."
"My first plan is to conquer the United Kingdom. Practically, all of Europe except the United Kingdom has fallen into our hands."
"Make an announcement to all countries and cut the bottom out from under the United Kingdom."
Right Side of Fire flipped a strand of his red hair, speaking with an air of arrogance.
The Pope frowned slightly:
"You seem to be doing this without any real impact on the Academy City, don't you?"
"Academy City? I've never taken those superpowered individuals into account. My real purpose is to start the third world war."
Right Side of Fire replied without hesitation.
The Pope's eyes contracted upon hearing this.
"Are you out of your mind? Are you still a member of the Cross Church?"
"How about you, old man?"
Right Side of Fire smiled, revealing his cards to the Pope without any hesitation.
"Because after today, the authority of the Roman Catholic Church will fully fall into his hands."
Next, he will join the Russian Orthodox Church to launch the third World War, seize the royal family's control of the Automatic Record Keeping Spirit Deck in Britain, and use it to control Indigo Persephone in order to obtain 10,300 Magus Books.
After that, he can initiate the Bethlehem Plan, fully unleash the power of the Holy Right, and achieve his ideals.
"I'll be damned, do you think I'll let you act as you please?"
The Pope roared angrily, pulling off the top-level Spirit Deck cross necklace around his neck, and began casting spells.
As the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, he can channel the power of two billion Roman believers over two millennia to his own use, casting magical seals that transcend the ordinary to bind his enemies.
"Tell the apostles, one to twelve, faith in the Lord is boundless. What should be filled with power, I am the one who understands its meaning, and I hope to use this power to defeat our enemies."
With the Pope's incantation, the colossal power of faith turned into a golden light that directly sealed Right Side of Fire in front of him in the flow of time.
"From now on, you will spend forty years in the whirlpool of time, take good care to reflect upon your solitude!"
"The one who needs to reflect is you!"
Right Side of Fire, sealed in time by the golden light, sneered coldly and suddenly a huge claw, spewing fire like a demon, appeared on his back.
With a casual swipe of the huge claw, the seal formed by the Pope's faith instantly shattered.
"Damn old man, go to hell!"
The red giant claw raised, and a sword phantom with a length of nearly forty kilometers stretched out from the center, swinging down forcefully towards the Pope.
The Pope is extremely powerful; even with the power of the Holy Right, it would be difficult to win against him.
However, his sword strike is not only towards the Pope, but also towards the entire Vatican.
If the Pope dodges, he will certainly be able to avoid it, but the outcome will be that Vatican City will be split in half by his sword and countless believers will die under his blade.
But based on his understanding of the Pope, even if the Pope were to die, he would likely not allow Vatican City to suffer any harm.
So, the Pope will definitely block it.
And if he blocks it, even if he doesn't die, he will be severely injured, and will no longer pose a threat to him.
"Boom!"
The orange sword was blocked by the cross, and the Pope coughed blood and knelt on the ground. The remaining aftershocks caused the entire cathedral to collapse.
"That's for sure."
After the dust settled, Right Side of Fire sheathed the third hand, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
"You really are kind, old man."
"True peace comes at a price, one you are unwilling to pay. How can you lead the church with that attitude? You should step down."
He didn't deliver the final blow. With the Pope's current injuries, once he recovers, his plan will have already been accomplished.
The Pope is a obstacle in his plan, but he is a decent person, and he wouldn't really kill him unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Alright, my plan can finally begin officially!"
"It looks like your plan won't get started."
Seeing the end of the two people's battle, George, who had been watching in secret, finally landed down.
His current hiding magic is no longer as easily detectable as it used to be.
Combining the Disapparition spell from the Harry Potter world, Jack the Ripper's assassination magic, and various Taoist arts of concealing one's breath.
His current invisibility spell is such that only someone with far greater strength than him can detect it.
So Right Side of Fire and the Pope never noticed George observing the battle from above.
"Who are you?"
Right Side of Fire sees George falling from the sky and raises his eyebrows slightly.
"Who am I?"
George turned his eyes and smiled.
"Believe me, I am God."
At this moment, his appearance was not that of Tenko Mido, but rather that of the Marvel origin form, created by using transformation magic.
Why change appearance?
It's not that he was afraid of Roman Catholic Church retaliation after the battle, since they had already attacked their headquarters.
It was mainly to consider the main character Tenko Mido.
In this world, his body is a clone of Tenko Mido, and they look exactly the same.
If Roman Catholic Church members and followers mistake the attack on their headquarters for the super-powered Tenko Mido, it will not be good if they seek revenge on her.
"I see you're looking for a fight!"
Right Side of Fire stretched out his hand, and a violent flame directly rushed towards George.
George's mouth opened, and he instantly swallowed all the flames.
"You can't just rely on angelic power; it won't block my strike. Take out that braised chicken claw of yours again."
"That thing should be able to hold out for a bit longer."
"Apparently, you came prepared. Who sent you? The British Puritans?"
Right Side of Fire's expression grew serious, and the third hand on his back extended out again.
The current situation goes beyond his expectations, and the person seems to have some knowledge of his information.
And since the person can still come out even after Right Side of Fire just defeated the Pope, it seems that they have some confidence in their own strength.
"I told you, I am God. Don't you believe me?"
George lifted his hand, and a massive white magical array rose above his head.
"I say, let there be light!"
A column of light, drawing on the power of the sun, moon, and stars, descended from the heavens and crashed down onto Right Side of Fire.
He was now casting the super-annihilation spell, Elven Radiance.
