Chapter 1297: They burned the Pope and the cardinals together.
However, the three of them knelt on one knee, their right hands on their chests, and the Pope called out in a trembling voice.
"Archangel, please tell me, which of us is Judas?"
The 'Archangel' sneered.
"Notre Dame Cathedral was a den of iniquity. Servants John, Teresa, and others, for their own selfish desires, kidnapped the princess's heir to Notre Dame with the intention of defiling her. Her prayers were heard by the Virgin Mary, who was furious."
Therefore, a messenger was sent to rescue her, and as punishment, lightning struck down and burned down this filthy place. The Holy Mother has already given you a decree.
But you three Judas betrayed the teachings of God and the Blessed Virgin Mary, and wanted to burn the Blessed Virgin Mary's disciples. God decided to send down thunder to bury all sinners.
"And you three Judas, as servants of the Lord, yet you use the Lord's name to commit evil and amass wealth—what is your punishment?"
The Pope and Robert and the other two were so frightened that their souls almost left their bodies. The Pope quickly put down his scepter, made the sign of the cross repeatedly with both hands, and shouted loudly.
"Injustice! Injustice! Your Honor! Princess Sophia herself confessed to her guilt. We only sentenced her to be burned at the stake based on the crimes she described."
The eyes behind the 'Archangel' mask glanced at them and said dismissively.
"Of course you should admit your sins. Before the Lord, who is without sin? Vanidir, are you without sin? After you confessed your sins to the Lord, did the Lord not forgive you?"
Then why didn't you choose to forgive Sofia when she confessed to you?
These words left the Pope speechless. Yes, according to the Lord's definition, all people are sinners. But sin is not to be feared. If you repent to the Lord, He can forgive you, and then everything will be alright.
Since Sophia came to you to repent, and you not only refuse to forgive her but also want to burn her alive, doesn't that violate the teachings of the Bible?
The Pope struggled for a long time before finally managing to utter a single sentence.
"My lord, it was Archbishop Robert and Chief of the Inquisition, Mousse, who listened to Princess Sophia's confession and decided not to forgive her, saying that the princess and her husband were heretics and that they should be burned like Bruno."
Upon hearing this, Robert and Mus jumped up in anger. This old man was inhuman! He was the one who came up with the idea and made the decision, and now he was blaming us. This was absolutely unacceptable.
Robert made the sign of the cross and addressed the 'archangel'.
"My lord, it was Vanidiel who accepted one million francs and a manor from the Duke of Orléans, which is why he decided to burn Princess Sofia alive..."
Upon hearing this, the nobles in the stands erupted in outrage. This was utterly despicable. While it was common for nobles to kill each other, even their parents, in the struggle for power, those acts were always done behind the scenes.
When such a thing was brought up in public, no one could hold back, and they all pointed at the Pope and his entourage and began to curse.
The Duke of Orléans was dumbfounded. He never expected that this trouble would involve him. He stood up, about to explain, when the 'Archangel' waved his hand.
The Knights Templar pounced like hungry wolves and dragged the Duke of Orléans out.
The 'Archangel' pointed his longsword and said coldly.
“Vanidir, what else do you have to say? You are the Lord’s servants, yet you have betrayed the Lord’s trust in you. The Lord is very disappointed in you. In the Lord’s eyes, you are heretics.”
"Don't you always think of using fire to purify the world? Then you must first purify yourselves."
The Pope and the archbishop were completely dumbfounded. They didn't know how to defend themselves, especially since they were unprepared for the archangel's arrival.
The 'archangel' floated down from the cross, and a black bear suddenly appeared on the ground. This black bear was over three meters tall, and it caught the archangel with its shoulder.
This drove the believers even more mad, and they pointed at the black bear and shouted frantically.
"Hek, it's Heke!"
It is important to know that in Eurasia, many countries and ethnic groups use the bear as a totem. They regard the bear as a medium for communicating with the gods. The male bear is called Hek, which is the highest title given to the fathers.
Now the Pope, the archbishop, and the chief of the Inquisition were all slumped to the ground, and there was no doubt that this must be Archangel Gabriel, because Gabriel's companion was the black bear.
The Pope wanted to make one last attempt, so he desperately shouted to the guards.
"Save me! You are my personal guards, protect me!"
The entire guard pushed up their visors, and the captain led the way, prostrating himself on the ground and loudly pledging allegiance to the archangel.
Robert was now in despair. With the archangel appearing, what did they, these so-called servants of the Lord, amount to? None of the believers present would stand on their side anymore.
The 'Archangel' sat on the black bear's shoulder and gestured for the Knights Templar to come over. The Knights Templar rushed over, knelt on one knee, and slammed their right fist into their left chest as a pledge of allegiance.
"Archangel" said lazily.
“Crucify these four Judas.”
The regimental commander was a stubborn, inflexible man, and he quickly said respectfully.
"Sir, this cross can only nail two people, what about the remaining two?"
"Archangel," the archangel said impatiently.
"That's easy, just nail one on each side."
The battalion commander's eyes lit up, and he slammed his right fist into his left palm. "That's right, the cross has two sides, one nailed to each side."
"Archangel," he said, pointing at the Pope and the cardinals.
“Strip them of their clothes and scepters; such traitors are not worthy to wear the clothes the Lord has given them.”
When the Pope and his men were nailed to the cross, they were left with only loincloths. Mousse and Robert kept begging for mercy until the Templars mercilessly broke their teeth, at which point they shut their beaks.
"Archangel," he said, pointing to the priests who were deacons.
"Ronaldo, come here."
Ronaldo was stunned, and he pointed to his own nose.
"Sir, are you calling me?"
His foolish look infuriated Rice, who was standing next to him, so she kicked him hard and cursed under her breath.
"What are you doing? What about the respectful way to address an adult? How can you be so rude?"
A few low laughs came from inside the 'Archangel's' visor, and he beckoned.
"Come on over too."
Leslie was dumbfounded. Pointing to his own nose, he angered the priests next to him, who then kicked him once each, finally sending the two idiots flying in front of the archangel.
The 'Archangel' pointed to the Pope's robes and scepter on the ground and spoke to Ronaldo.
"Put them on, it is the Lord's will."
He then spoke to Leslie.
"From this moment on, you are the Pope and the Cardinals..."
