Chapter 113-03: A Shabby Meeting (Part )
The first anti-demon joint meeting was held in a somewhat shabby manner in the Abbey of St. Michel.

Bai Shihang didn’t know whether history would remember this moment, but it could be seen that the Pope had a strong desire not to be interfered with by certain major powers.

The attendees included: the Pope of the Holy See, the Protestant Bishop (Anglican), Brande's Chosen Paladin and Priest, Jennifer Battle Sister, and Supreme Saint Miki Inagaki.
And Bai Shihang, who used the identity of Owen and was the young representative of the Paladin lineage, let's see how they plan to deal with the "devil."

Although he could hear it without being there in person, watching them discuss these things seriously was also a nice pastime.

Overall, such a lineup looks more like an academic discussion, after all, half of them are old white men.

"Welcome everyone to attend this meeting." The Pope's gaze lingered for a few seconds on Bai Shihang, who was sitting next to Jennifer. "As part of human civilization, we are naturally hostile to the demons who only know how to kill. In the first stage of the meeting, I hope everyone can reach a consensus that 'there is no negotiation with the demons under any conditions.'"

The people present had basically no objection to this consensus. As it stands now, the demons will not take hostages to negotiate with humans. They will basically just take a bite when they get their hands on them. Even if they are picky eaters, they will still take a couple of bites to taste it.

It's quite difficult to negotiate.

"Then I will first disclose the demon information held by the Holy See."

The Holy See has archived records and conducted detailed analysis of most of the demons that have appeared.

When it was Jennifer's turn, she glanced at Bai Shihang, coughed lightly, and began to organize the description based on the more relevant knowledge she had learned from Bai Shihang in the past two days.

"Based on the Paladins' years of experience fighting demons, we have also classified the threats of demons accordingly. The highest threat level is Lucifer level, and the last New York incident was Satan level. The next level is Ancient Serpent level, and the black dragon that was the incarnation of the Pseudo-One belongs to this level."

After hearing the beginning, the two religious leaders almost couldn't help but interrupt.

But after looking at each other, they decided to continue listening.

After all, there is no definite statement in the classics that "Lucifer is Satan", there are only implicit references.

After listening to Jennifer's classification of the demons' combat power, the Correction Bishop took the opportunity to ask the question he had long wanted to clarify.

"Excuse me, what is a Paladin?" He knew that Jennifer was a supernatural being, but the Pope kept avoiding the question, so he had to ask the nun.

"More than a thousand years ago, nine knights received inspiration from God and gained extraordinary powers. They then founded the Poor Knights Templar and vowed to fight for God and fight against the devil together with the Holy See. After countless wars, the power of the devil declined, but the Holy See was afraid of the power of the Paladins and found an opportunity to try to remove them."

"The Paladins were betrayed and suffered heavy casualties. The current Pope also officially announced the disbandment of the Knights Templar. The remaining Paladins swore that unless God appeared again, they would have no connection with the Holy See and would completely cut ties with it."

Jennifer told this secret "history" with an unhappy look on her face and a bad look that made the Pope's scalp itch.

What does it have to do with me! I am innocent!
The bishop coughed twice awkwardly, then glanced at the Pope, asking why he didn't tell them such important news.

I can't come!

The Pope was only guessing at first, and in order not to provoke the other party, he tried his best to avoid talking about this aspect. Besides, the timing of the Knights Templar did not quite match, so he always had a glimmer of fantasy.

But let’s be frank. What does what happened in the past have to do with me?
"However, right after the New York incident, we sensed the birth of a new Chosen Paladin, which also means that a new crisis is coming. In order to face this great crisis, we must work together sincerely."

Jennifer looked at Reverend Brand.

"That's right. The revelation I once received said that a terrible catastrophe is about to befall the world. We must unite to overcome the difficulties together." Pastor Brand nodded with worry on his brow. He couldn't help but think of the horrifying picture that appeared in his mind when he accepted the angel's severed arm. That hideous demon hand was big enough to cover the sky with one palm.

The scene suddenly became very silent, as if even the air had become sticky, making breathing increasingly difficult.

Only Miki Inagaki seemed unaffected. Without William's accurate translation, she could only rely on the translation headphones to understand their conversation, but the deviation was not too great.

She had no idea about the possible major crisis they were talking about, but she believed that the Supreme had already arranged everything, and all that was left was to face it calmly.

Well, in some ways, she is the one closest to the truth.

Seeing that no one spoke, Miki Inagaki talked about her views on demons. She believed that demons had already been lurking in the evil thoughts of countless people, and that she could force out the demons in the hopeless bodies of humans in advance and destroy them.

But this plan was too likely to cause panic, so the others just made a note and said that if necessary, they would ask her to eliminate the hidden demon in advance.

The meeting lasted only about four or five hours, and everyone basically reached a consensus not to cooperate with the demons. They also exchanged a lot of insights and information about the demons, and reached an offensive and defensive alliance when facing the demons.

After the meeting, the Pope found Bai Shihang and wanted to learn more about the original extraordinary heritage of the Holy See.

"After the decline of the demons, it has become increasingly difficult to awaken supernatural powers. The Truth Priest is a supernatural inheritance that requires the most talent. It may be cut off not long after we part ways with the Holy See."

"The Inquisition is more about loyalty to faith, and one of its main tasks is to capture other extraordinary people. Back then, we Paladins were mainly besieged and killed by the sickles of the Inquisition."

"The Rose Cross Mage is considered a branch of the Truth Priests, but why has it not been passed down? There is no record of this in our family history."

"Before Jennifer told me, we even thought that the Pastor of Truth had only become a single-line inheritance, and the other extraordinary people were just hiding in the secular world. Unexpectedly, they had already disappeared."

Bai Shihang is talking nonsense.

Looking at Bai Shihang, who was full of mysterious and noble aura, with an expressionless face, and calmly telling these secrets, the Pope felt a chill in his heart and at the same time felt a great pain.

It turns out that the Holy See was so glorious in the past, and possessed more than one extraordinary power!

Did my predecessors eat shit?! You guys have lost all the great country! At least leave me a supernatural inheritance of the Inquisition.

No, I can't breathe.

This feeling is like a relay race. The first and second runners obviously ran very well, like the wind, leaving the others behind by who knows how many meters. But when the baton was passed to the third person, it was discovered that he was an old man in a wheelchair!

This wheelchair is rusty!
The Pope could only stand there, watching his opponents surpass him one after another, waiting for the old man to slowly move over.

In desperation, the old man finally came to him, raised his thumb, and said with a proud smile: I'll be there soon!
“Thank you for letting us know, may God bless us.”

The Pope looked so lonely as he left.
