Chapter 566: The Pope's Election

Lucy was taken aback: "New Pope!?"

In the history of the dispute between the Holy See of Light and the Holy See of Darkness, there is a great secret that no one knows. At that time, the Dark Holy See had not been completely eradicated, the Dark Pope Alexander XV, who was also one of the ten strongest people recognized by the Astral Boundary, knew that he and others who were under siege were unable to get out, and united all the surviving bishops, and used his own body as a medium to launch a secret technique to open a time and space channel, and sent the contemporary Dark Celestial Maiden out.

Because the Dark Celestial Maiden is the most important person to continue the thoughts and inheritance of the Dark Sect, as long as she is still there and leaves the power of the inheritance, the Dark Sect will have a chance to make a comeback.

Alexander XV's desperate struggle brought a glimmer of hope, and the Dark Celestial Maiden was sent away through the space-time channel, but what he didn't expect was that the attacks of the Bright Sect and the powerhouses of the Grand Alliance who were besieging at that time intervened in the space-time passage, making it extremely unstable, the teleportation was wrong, and the Dark Celestial Maiden was nowhere to be found, and it never appeared again, and the Dark Celestial See was silent because of this.

Many of those involved in the battle believe that the Dark Maiden died in the spatial passage during that not very successful teleportation.

It wasn't until more than a thousand years later that a person discovered the remains and inheritance power of the Dark Celestial Maiden in the Ancient God Domain, as well as the secret books and treasures of the Dark Curia she had taken away, and established the Dark Curia again, and that person became another Pope of the Dark Curia - Alexander XVI.

Alexander XVI was a very mysterious man, and no one, including the high-ranking senators of the Dark See, knew his real name and identity, no one had ever seen his face, so he always wore a mask, and he did not know his age, and everything about him was mysterious. However, what is certain is that he is an unborn ghost, with an extremely intelligent brain, decisive and wise decision-making, a vigorous and resolute wrist, and the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, before he found the treasure of the Dark Sect, he was already a shocking super powerhouse, you must know that at that time, the body of the Dark Heavenly Maiden was transported to a rather sinister place in the Ancient God Domain, and even the chaos-level powerhouses did not dare to set foot easily.

This legendary pope, it only took a few years to cultivate the backbone of the dark papal see, the eight archbishops of the papal see, all brought out by him, and the grand plan he set also made the papacy begin to embark on the road of revival, however, just when Alexander XVI's prestige was at its peak, and all the high-level leaders were convinced that under the leadership of this ghostly pope, the dark papacy would definitely be able to restore its former glory, he was missing.

Like his incredible appearance, Alexander XVI's departure is a mystery that the Holy See will never understand, and he abandons the dark Curia that he has worked so hard to build, giving no reason to anyone, leaving only one sentence - the Chosen One will one day come, and he will replace himself as the new Pope of the Dark See, until then, the papacy will remain vacant indefinitely.

Alexander XVI was the absolute leader at that time, and the eight archbishops never doubted his words, although they did not know the meaning of those words, but they waited for it.

However, this is a long decades, and the backbones brought out by Alexander back then have also changed from high-spirited teenagers to today's respected archbishops, and the previous dark goddess has passed away, and Lucy has accepted a new inheritance, and the chosen son has never appeared.

The Dark Curia, under the guidance of the Pope, had reached a certain size, and was strong enough to dare to appear openly in the world again, but some people were skeptical of the words left by Alexander XVI.

But Lucy has no doubts, she has never seen Alexander XVI, however, she has accepted the inheritance, and she has been most deeply influenced by the previous generation of dark goddesses, the previous generation of dark goddesses Rowling was personally selected by Alexander XVI, she has always been loyal to the pope, attracted by the charm of Alexander XVI, Rowling's heart is full of admiration, even admiration, but her admiration can only be deeply buried, because the dark goddess represents a holy image, must be a virgin, and can not be emotional to anyoneใ€‚

However, that kind of fanatical worship and affection also caused Lucy to be infected after receiving the inheritance, and like Rowling, she followed the words left by Alexander XVI as the most important oracle, waiting for the arrival of the Chosen Son, and she was the only one who could discover the Chosen One.

Now that Terrance claims to reject the new pope, the deep-rooted loyalty brought by the previous generation of dark goddess Rowling in the inheritance made her almost subconsciously make a decision to oppose it, and she said excitedly: "No, this is impossible, have you all forgotten that the sixteenth generation of popes said that only that person can inherit the throne of the pope!"

"Your Highness, we have not forgotten, you must know that we are all brought out by sixteen generations of popes, and he is not only a great leader for us, but also the most respected teacher," Cardinal Terrence sighed and said: "However, we have been waiting for fifty-eight years, a full fifty-eight years, do you know how many days and nights it is, but that person has never appeared, and we are all old." Everybody here, including me, trusts sixteen generations of popes. However, no matter who it is, it is possible to make mistakes, maybe there is some accident in the Pope's clever calculation, and the new pope's candidate will never appear, otherwise, he should have come to the Dark Curia a long time ago, right?"

Lucy said coldly: "I'm sorry I can't agree with your words, I only know that the words of the sixteenth generation of popes must be reasonable, Bishop Josephine, what do you think?"

"This ......" The blue-clothed female lady looked embarrassed, hesitated and said: "Your Highness, it is indeed a difficult decision to disobey the words of the sixteenth generation of popes, but now the times are different, we are now facing a difficult situation, and we urgently need a courageous leader to stand up and lead us forward, no organization can lack a leader, and the papal position of the Holy See has been vacant for fifty-eight years, which will affect the faith of our believers a lot!" I think that even if the sixteenth Pope is still alive, he will agree, after all, this is also for the sake of the future and destiny of the Holy See. โ€

This sentence is very tactful, but the meaning is very clear, she supports Terrance's decision.

In fact, as the only woman in the archbishop, Josephine has an extremely close relationship with the previous dark goddess Rowling, although Rowling has been hiding her feelings for the sixteenth Pope, but she can see it carefully.

Now Lucy is blindly loyal to the Pope's directives, believing that she is influenced by Rowling in the legacy, but Josephine does not think this is a rational idea, so she sides with Terrance.

Even Josephine actually said this, Lucy's heart suddenly sank, she turned her head to Vieri, the most prestigious of the eight archbishops, and also the most respected person for the sixteenth generation of popes except for Rowling, took a deep breath and said: "Bishop Vieri, don't tell me, you agree with this too?"

As the archbishop, if Vieri objected, with his influence, he might be able to change it.

Vieri didn't answer, he chose to be silent, but Lucy was not stupid, she naturally understood Vieri's position, and he had acquiesced.

Lucy was furious, she laughed, her voice full of mockery: "Very good, it seems that I asked a little redundantly, hehe, I think if there is no accident, you will already be united before I come back, right?"

Josephine sighed and said: "Your Highness, don't be angry, we did discuss it in advance, but we all considered it from the perspective of fairness, and did not take sides, but we all felt that the Holy See should indeed make some changes, if nothing else, in three days, the other four archbishops will all return to the Holy See, and then we will hold a meeting to vote on whether the new pope should be elected." If more than three of the other four archbishops, together with you, do not agree, the matter is to be dismissed. โ€

The status of the Dark Celestial Maiden in the Holy See is very high, even beyond the Chief Bishop Vieri, for which she has the right to two votes in major decisions, due to the misfortune of Cardinal Egrus, the remaining seven bishops, plus Lucy, the actual number of votes is a total of nine, as long as there are three archbishops against, plus Lucy's two votes, it is enough to veto the election of the new pope.

Objectively speaking, this is fair, but Lucy is very angry, because of the emotional impact of Rowling in the inheritance, she feels that her most respected Alexander XVI has been betrayed, and betrayed by these backbones he has personally cultivated, which she cannot tolerate, but it can't be changed, because Vieri and others have made up their minds.

Shooting the case, Lucy left the council hall without looking back: "Since you have already arranged it, it is useless for me to say anything, then, let's see you in three days!"
