If this matter was decided by humans, all the evidence would probably be collected and held in their hands, and would not be published to the public, nor would it be judged. Those who do so would be able to firmly control the Holy See for at least decades.

However, Gray is a Lich. Lichs do not know how to give in, nor do they understand the so-called power scheme. In other words, they disdain power schemes and prefer simple and direct methods.

so……

"Next, we will trouble the Pope to test these evidences and interrogate those who violate the doctrine."

"This is impossible!" Darren IV was almost crying. He had never seen such a scene before: "I am the only one who is innocent. According to the regulations, the Pope cannot judge a cardinal alone!"

"Who told you that you are innocent?" Gray asked.

Darren IV was stunned.

Carl walked to the pile of evidence and turned out a wooden plate from it with a thick stack of letter paper on it: "This was found from the residence of the Pope."

With wide eyes, Darren IV stared blankly at the stack of letter paper, his face as if dead.

"I have never said that any of you are innocent, nor have I ever said that any of you are guilty. I give you a chance to defend." Gray said loudly: "In view of the provisions of the Holy See that the Holy See requires a cardinal judging team, I respect this provision. I personally recommend that you take turns to serve as judges and judge each other. Of course, if you are found to have favoritism, you may be added with new crimes. If you unite and cover each other up, I will have to take special measures. Now, you can start. Jones!"

Jones, who was standing at the door, was stunned for a moment and hurriedly ran in: "Here!"

“Supervise them.”

"Okay." Jones nodded happily.

The hall was quiet.

Gray took Carl and left step by step.

Jones flipped open his mask and grinned at the cardinals, revealing his small fangs.

"It's crazy to let a blood clan supervise us." Dominiel collapsed on a chair.

"Isn't it a lich who is judging us?" Anqiro II replied with a dull expression.

A moment ago, they were thinking about revealing the identity of Grey Lich and putting him in a situation where everyone in the world is enemies. Now... the entire Holy See has been turned over.

Without Augsger III, the Holy See was destined to clash with Paladin Gray. But no one expected that the conflict would come so quickly and so thoroughly.

...

The trial must have no way to come to a result soon, so the new pope, along with thirty-one cardinals and four paladins, were all trapped in the hall. At the same time, Gray issued a wanted order, and the remaining two cardinals who successfully escaped in the chaos.

The next morning, the news spread throughout the continent.

"Gray, you are measuring humanity by the standards of lichs." Katherine commented.

Gray's answer was: "I don't think there is a distinction between a lich and a human being."

There is no doubt that there is no existence on this land that can stop Grey.

When Augsger III passed away, Paladin Gray launched a rebellion, controlled the Holy See Mountain, and held almost all the cardinals and the new pope hostage. This news must have had a negative impact on Gray's reputation throughout the continent. However, in the midst of an uproar, the countries also remained calm. Only the Emperor of Gustav sent a letter to Gray.

"Dear Paladin: Although Mount Azrant belongs to the Holy See, it also belongs to the territory of the Gustav Empire. The Gustav Royal Family did not intend to take sides in the internal disputes of the Holy See, but you used force to control the Holy See without knowing the royal family, which violated the past practice. Perhaps you should explain to me personally what you did. Signature: Gustav and the ruler of the Lora Islands, the emperor recognized by the Holy Spirit, the guardian of the northern border of the Holy Church, the arbitrator, the heir of the Holy Sword, and Cedric V."

"Gustav Empire, Gustav Empire..." Grey thought silently.

"This is the most powerful country on the mainland, with strong military strength." Black Cat said: "Of course, they do not have paladins or magic envoys. You have to admit that although the Holy See is corrupt, it still has some effect. At least no one on the mainland will openly interact with hell."

"It should be said that there is no demon envoy who has an open identity." Vivian corrected: "There are many demon envoys on the continent than paladins, and every country has them. It's just that they don't publicly recognize their identity."

"Oh, okay." The black cat spread his hands: "But in short, this is a country that needs special attention. The north is different from the south. There is a great empire in the north. I think the meaning of this letter is to test what you want to do. After all, you are now holding the Holy See."

"What do you think I should do?"

"go!"

"Don't go!"

Black Cat and Vivian gave completely different opinions.

"Why do you want to go?" Vivian shouted: "He is just an emperor. We now hold the Holy See. The power of church is always greater than the power of the king on this continent! He should come to pay his respects!"

"But the situation is a little different now, Gray." Black Cat said earnestly: "If you are a normally selected pope, he should come to see you. But you are not. Also, although our approach makes sense, not everyone believes it. Those who do not believe may cause us great trouble. This is not conducive to the reform you are going to implement. We need to strive for more people to stand on your side. Emperor Gustav was the primary target of his fight. He knew nothing about you before, and we should express our kindness."

"Do you need it? I think we only need to do whatever we should do. We have absolute force, we don't need to explain to them, and we don't need to negotiate. Perhaps defeating the Gustav Empire is an excellent opportunity to increase prestige!"

"My God, Vivian, do you want Gray to fight all the countries?"

"Actually, I think this is a good idea. Oh, by the way, I forgot to say it. The Gustav royal family has the support of the dragon clan, and they have contacts with Titans."

"Dragons and…Titans?"

"Yes, but that's okay. No race can fight against the Demon Lord anyway."

"The dragon clan has nothing to do with the Titans yet!?"

Black Cat and Vivian kept arguing, and Gray listened quietly.

As for Catherine, her voice seemed to have disappeared. Although she was still with Gray.

...

Just as my father was in the center of a storm in the north and was preparing to forcibly reform the Holy See, when his son Ricci was swimming in the "ocean of knowledge".

Salina put on a thick frame and said softly: "The only thing that can be measured is the strength of magic, and combat power cannot be measured. Because it will be affected by various factors such as environment, restraint, combat experience, etc. Normally, no one would want to measure individual combat power. After all, there will be no situation of fighting alone most of the time. And the greatest function of magic is not to be used for combat."

"Not for fighting?" Ritchie asked.

"Is it used to fight?" Salina said seriously: "Magic power can be used to make potions, to create various magical items, and to make our lives more convenient. For example, flying magic. Just like human hands, is the main function of human hands used to fight?"

"You're right." Ritchie nodded thoughtfully and looked at Delia beside her: "Do you have anything to add?"

"No, she's right." Delia shook her head quickly.

"Also, why do you wear frames?"

"Uh... I just want to make myself look more like a teacher. After all, I'm a teacher for the first time." Salina smiled awkwardly and took off the frame.

...

"Can you describe to me, my father, you two, my father's guardian angel and inducing demon, and the one outside..." Ritchie pointed his hand in the direction where Abold was outside the window.

"Abold." Delia said her name directly.

"Yes, it's him. And the difference in the strength of the magic power between the Holy Spirit?"

"Um..." Delia thought for a while and said, "We use the magic of an adult Turuman."

"What is a Turmon?"

"A kind of monster is available in many places. But there is no one on the Celtics continent." Delia said seriously, "Your magic is one hundred, the Paladin's magic is two hundred, Catherine's magic is about one thousand five hundred, Vivian's magic is one thousand four hundred, my magic is eight hundred, Salina's magic is about nine hundred. Abold's magic is about four thousand five. If the power of the Holy Spirit... it is about one million or ten million, maybe more. I don't know. That level of power is beyond our perception."

Ricci was stunned for a moment, but what surprised him was not the power of the Holy Spirit, but...

"Wait, you said that there are Turmons in many places, but there are no Turmons in the Celtics continent. What does this mean? Are there many Turmons in heaven and hell?"

"No, there is no Turmon in heaven or hell. What I say a lot is other planes. There are 1,200 planes that I know in this space and time, and Celtics is just one plane."

"Then... every plane has a Holy Spirit? Does Celtics share nineteen Holy Spirits with them, or do they have their own Holy Spirit?"

"Not every plane has a Holy Spirit, some do not. Of course, most of them have it. If there is a Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit in every plane is generally different."

"So there are different demon lords?"

"Yes."

"So, both angels and demons are foreign, and are not Celtics' original creatures?"

"Yes." Delia nodded heavily again: "We originated from heaven and hell. But in this world, we have another residence. We are in the cracks of time and space, and the demons are in the abyss under the earth. In fact, I was born in the cracks of time and space and never went to heaven. Actually, I really want to go, but it is too far away, and I must obtain the permission of the Holy Spirit to go."

Ricky was shocked, his head hurt a little.

He doubted whether his father knew this. After all, all that Gray learned from his guardian angel was only faith.

It is indeed very necessary to systematically learn magic and common sense.

"How do you go to other planes?"

"Just open the space channel."

"Can you do it?"

"No, only the Holy Spirit and the Demon Lord can do it. Extremely powerful angels, such as the twelve legion commanders, can also do it. There are also some creatures with particularly powerful magic, such as the particularly powerful lich, or the particularly powerful dragon."

"Is it okay for a lich over ten thousand years?"

"Uh... it shouldn't work. Lichs over ten thousand years are very powerful, but they are not as powerful as that."

"Did you have any supplements for what she said?" Ritchie turned his face and asked Salina.

"No." Salina spread her hands.

Ricky felt that his demon life was confused.

What does that feel like? It's like you suddenly realize that you're just an ant, beyond your cognition, there are humans, and larger than humans, elephants, whales, and various huge creatures that you can't imagine. There may be more powerful creatures beyond their cognition. Their individuals may be equivalent to your entire world. In that case... nothing you do seems to make no sense.

In an instant, Ricci suddenly understood something that he didn't understand.

If you consider it completely from a human mind, then power is the absolute reliance. As long as you are strong enough, you can do whatever you want. After all, you can defeat everyone who opposes you.

However, if there are many existences in this world that are countless times stronger than you, so powerful that you can't even sense their existence, but are affecting you all the time, then the situation is completely different. Camps, contracts, agreements, exchange of power, shelter and being sheltered will become very critical points. Because existences beyond your understanding have set rules for you, and you can only abide by it.

This explains why your father, Gray, is actually weaker than his guardian angels and inducing demons, but he can get the favor of the Demon Lord and the attention of the Holy Spirit. When you are strong enough to defeat all enemies, strength is crucial. When you are very weak, so weak that you can't even look up at the rulemaker, your pitifully small power is irrelevant. In this case, the originally meaningless faith will become very important. Because faith is the highest rule set by the two camps.

"Hu..." sighed long. After a moment of doubting the demon, Ricci could only whisper: "Forget it, I'd better study hard. This world is too big for me."
