"Why? Do you know what you're doing?"
Archbishop Sanos stood up and slamd his hand heavily on the table: "You clearly know this is an unjust act, yet you still make such a choice.
Are you truly standing from your position, empathetically planning the future developnt for all true god churches?"
The angry voice of Archbishop Sanos echoed throughout the council eting, so people lowered their heads, their eyes downcast, finally speaking coldly:
"Mr. Sanos, this question should be asked by to you; what view are you holding to choose to ignore the doctrine of Holy Briania and stand with the Yibel people on the opposite side of righteousness?"
Archbishop Sanos looked bewildered.
At this mont, soone among the crowd sneered and said:
"Mr. Sanos, now the facts are laid bare, although Lord phiel's actions are a bit extre, for us, to so extent, it's as if Lord phiel is equally angry...
I cannot understand why anyone would openly shelter the descendants of the lunatics who once instigated the Holy Mountain chaos...
Clearly everyone knows how excruciatingly painful the damage of that upheaval was to Holy Briania.
We once didn't want to think about it, didn't dare to think about it, because just looking back, all we saw were countless ancestral spirits wailing on the burning Holy Mountain.
Sanos, what are you thinking, to approve a nation that permits the descendants of the Abyss, that Succubus Queen, to openly operate on their land?
Give a reason… You must understand, Viscount Helois, who has basically been appointed as the next Duke of the Duchy of Engilans, is unequivocally our enemy.
Sinful blood flows through his veins!"
These words montarily silenced everyone.
Archbishop Robert's expression subtly changed, and even so mbers from the Earth Mother Goddess Church sighed softly.
"If there's nothing else to say, then..."
Pope phiel blinked and looked at everyone below, saying: "Should I help everyone declare the result?"
…
Ultimately, phiel did not state the result.
The result was already determined, no one could stop it.
The Holy Hall Assessnt, ultimately decided by innurable true god churches, set the strategy that Holy Briania would persist in for a long ti—
pressuring the Yibel Federation to provide a satisfactory explanation… or Holy Briania would use force to compel the Federation to give a rational explanation.
…
At the end of the Holy Hall Assessnt, Archbishop Sanos stood amid the gradually departing evaluation council mbers, the confusion in his eyes almost seeping out.
He didn't understand why the situation escalated so sharply in such a short ti.
He always felt sothing wasn't right, but couldn't identify the problem imdiately.
It wasn't until his old friend Archbishop Robert patted his shoulder that he ca to his senses, bitterly smiling and saying:
"Old friend, was I wrong?"
"No, my friend, you did nothing wrong."
Archbishop Robert scoffed and said: "After so many years, they start bringing up the already outdated Original Sin theory again, it's quite remarkable..."
After speaking, Robert added another sentence, saying: "Don't be too sad, it's certain that this incident is even more complex than we imagined...
The proposal by phiel afterward is the real trump card.
We've been manipulated..."
"Manipulated?"
"Old friend, the reason this Holy Hall Assessnt gathered people so quickly is mainly because you and I wanted to dismiss phiel's obviously inhumane thods.
But we never considered the other issue, which is that over the years, Holy Briania has faced various predicants, with a considerable number of true god churches gradually disconnecting from the core of Holy Mountain due to long-term settlent in other nations..."
"It's the Abyss… the Abyss invasions over many years have forced many true god churches to fixate their main forces in praising lands to continuously suppress those monsters from the Abyss...
No one wants those monsters from the Abyss to return to the mortal world, even if so don't care about the havoc, they still need to consider whether they would be the ones 'havoced'.
For all church mbers, countering the Abyss is our very duty.
And the Holy Mountain… Under the Holy Mountain lies the largest Abyss Gate on the entire divine continent, and countless demons pour out from the Abyss Gate daily, necessitating that nurous forces on the Holy Mountain devote their main energies to suppressing the demons.
This, for the Holy Mountain, is righteousness."
Archbishop Sanos understood that he had inadvertently fallen into a deep pit.
At the bottom of this pit was the inevitable wounds and pains known to all church mbers.
