Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 1168 - 304: A Church in Discord, Prelude to the Battlefield Meat Grinder

"You're saying... do I really have to be so blunt? Essentially, a stand conflict is about using violent means to destroy and plunder the productive assets of other countries. Some victorious nations might flourish after the war, but looking at it from a continental perspective...

Destroying the productive assets that countries rely on for survival is fundamentally damaging the foundation of the commercial environment, not genuinely creating additional profit."

"So you've settled on the decision of the God of Commerce Church?" Pope Mephiel shook his head, "Honestly, I'm quite surprised at how quickly you've decided."

Finally, Pope Mephiel looked at Pope Selena of the Moon Goddess Church. Pope Selena chuckled softly and said:

"Since it's come to this, I'll share the Moon Goddess Church's opinion as well."

Having sat as the Pope of the Moon Goddess Church for one hundred and thirty years, she spoke slowly:

"According to the Goddess's guidance, from now on, the headquarters of the Moon Goddess Church will withdraw from the Holy Briania effective immediately. As for the positions of the nine Great Gods of the Holy Hall, if anyone wishes to take over, our Moon Goddess Church can provide training."

Upon hearing this, Pope Mephiel's gaze became as sharp as a hawk's: "Is this true?"

Pope Selena continued speaking slowly: "Of course, this is the divine oracle."

The scene was chaotic, with all the attending archbishops and bishops from various parties in an uproar.

No one could have imagined that the Moon Goddess Church, which had always been silent, would suddenly make such a significant move at the Holy Hall Council.

Pope Aaron apologized with a guilty look, "Well, since someone has already spoken, I might as well step in. The God of Commerce Church will detach from Holy Briania, as this is the will of the God."

Pope Agatha of the Earth Mother Goddess Church coldly said, "The Earth Mother Goddess Church has completed the succession of the pope, and the candidate Pope Tertu, along with the main members, has gone to the Yibel Federation. The headquarters of the Earth Mother Goddess Church is now in the Yibel Federation. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Of course, to fulfill our final duties, we will participate in at least this last battle."

Mephiel nodded, a slight smile curling at the corners of his mouth, and he said lightly, "That's alright, this is sufficient."

"The Magic Goddess Church has decided to relocate its headquarters to the Duchy of Engilance. Of course, like Pope Agatha, we will complete our obligations before we leave."

Pope Mephiel nodded again, saying, "That's acceptable; Holy Briania will never lack new churches."

"Since the two major churches have already acted this way, we, the Moon Goddess Church, cannot just leave directly. We still want the reputation of keeping our promises, so we'll leave some people behind."

"Agreed."

The gazes of the three church popes finally converged on Pope Aaron of the God of Commerce Church.

Aaron hesitated for a while, then finally gritted his teeth and said, "Reputation is the foundation of business. We... we will also leave some people behind, but don't expect our church's combat prowess. After all, we're not adept at these things."

Upon hearing Bishop Aaron's participation, the incumbent pope finally turned his head away, saying nothing more.

"Well then, everyone, it's time!"

As the God of Commerce Church also agreed to participate, Pope Mephiel spoke again. Although his voice was not loud, it reached the ears of all the church representatives present at the Holy Hall Council thanks to the clever design of the venue's acoustics.

Everyone's expression changed slightly.

Now that the foundation of Holy Briania has started to have problems, the basic structure is being shaken, and Pope Mephiel is still thinking about that damn war?

First, restrain the three popes of the Nine Great Gods Churches who have gone mad!

Four churches have chosen to defect, and Holy Briania's foundation is in trouble. Under these circumstances, the core power of Holy Briania is genuinely being undermined.

Half of the Nine Great Gods Churches of the Holy Hall are close to leaving; half the foundation is almost gone, Lord Mephiel, how can you still be so calm!

"So, representatives of all churches, regarding the proposal for Holy Briania to launch a full-scale counterattack against the Yibel Federation, those who agree, please raise your hands."

One, two, three...

The popes of the Life Goddess Church, Death God Church, Frost God Church, and the God of Love and Change raised their hands.

Meanwhile, the Dawn Lord Church, Earth Mother Goddess Church, Magic Goddess Church, and Moon Goddess Church all voted against.

The God of Commerce Church abstained from voting.

The attendees from various factions were evenly matched. Even a crippled tiger still retains its majesty. Clearly, as the pope's faction appears to be on the verge of collapse, none dare to oppose the Mephiel faction's power.

However...

The interim managers within the Dawn Lord Church dared to openly vote against Mephiel, a daring act. Is the internal structure of Holy Briania about to dissolve, with even the Dawn Lord Church in such disarray?

Unprecedented dark clouds hung over those small churches.

Unlike the Nine Great Gods Churches, the smaller churches below tend to go with the flow. Now, as the storm looms, some of them might have vaguely heard about the chaos erupting tonight, but none expected it to escalate so severely.
