Inevitably, this led to a war, which then reignited on various continents. The Alchemy Alliance and the Desert Empire on the western continent went to war again. After stealing weapons from the Alchemy Alliance, the Desert Empire launched the war, vowing to avenge the previous king and blaming the Alchemy Alliance for all the crimes.
For reasons unknown, the western continental port was suddenly attacked by the Magic Kingdom, which imposed a blockade on it and even developed weapons to counter magic, causing the alliance between the two sides to break down rapidly.
The Fallen Alliance of the Northern Continent has risen again and begun attacking human creatures that have migrated to the Northern Continent.
On the Eastern Continent, the Winter Empress returned to her Winter Kingdom, continuing her seclusion from the world. It was a relatively peaceful place, where the former members of the Snowfeather Guild had moved to, unwilling to participate in the wars between various forces.
The Goblin Guild rebuilt the metal island, left the land area, and returned to the sea. No one knows what they are doing.
It is now the sixth year, Lord
The world's wars have not yet ceased.
"Sister Hong, can we persuade the Holy See to stop the war?"
Five years later, Angel and Red are on their way to the Holy Capital. Both of them have undergone tremendous changes in these five years.
Having inherited the power of the Blood Wolf King, Red's body grew stronger and fuller, already a head taller than Angel. Her hair was still dark red, and although her skin had darkened considerably, it remained delicate and smooth. It was her wolf ears, red eyes, and dark red cloak that made her appear exceptionally cold.
As for Angel, her long purple hair remained unchanged, and her figure was fuller than Hong's. Sometimes Hong envied her. Her skin was fair, and her face was much more mature than before. She wore the same cloak as Hong. Compared to the past, she was already a young woman who could stand on her own.
"I don't know. If they intend to stop the war, then we can act as mediators. But if that were the case, the war would have ended much earlier and wouldn't have continued until now..."
Hong went on this trip with a pessimistic attitude. Wars can sometimes be so sudden; you never know when they will start or when they will end.
The Holy See of Light and the Radiant Sanctuary, which supports it, are fighting against the Blood Clan of the Blood Soul Realm. This war is destined to be long and difficult to resolve unless one side defeats the other.
"I think we should have a chance. The war a week ago resulted in nearly 100,000 casualties on both sides, the highest number of casualties in the war so far. Both sides should be eager for peace..."
Angel felt they had a chance to act as mediators between the two forces.
"I hope so..."
After a day's journey, the two finally arrived in the Holy City, a city they hadn't seen in a long time.
The city's defenses were very tight, and Angel and Red's attire was quite suspicious, but they managed to enter the city smoothly thanks to the badges of the Papacy's Friends left by Qin Yu.
The passing soldiers would occasionally come to check passersby, so Hong had no choice but to pin the badge to her cloak to avoid being bothered and questioned by the soldiers.
"The atmosphere of war has not yet dissipated..."
Angel frowned upon seeing the scene in the Holy City. She had been full of hope, but now it seemed unlikely.
"Then we should go and pay them a visit, and also see some old friends."
In the shadows, a goblin observed Angel and Red's progress and kept a close watch on their movements.
At the church gate, Hong showed the badge again, and the guards at the gate immediately let the two through after verifying it.
Not long after they entered, several nuns greeted Hong and the others; they were the same group of nuns who had been in the Snowfeather Territory.
Then, a familiar old friend came to greet them.
"Long time no see, Hong, Angel..."
Five years later, Monet had grown up a lot. His short brown hair had grown long, his face had lost its childishness and become more and more heroic, and his clothes were no longer like those of the other nuns, but like those of a warrior about to go to the battlefield.
"Monet, it's been a long time."
Hong and Angel greeted Monet and chatted for a while about their recent situation on the way to the Papal Palace.
"Are you here to persuade the Holy See to stop the war?"
After learning of their purpose, Monet fell into a brief silence. After thinking for a while, he continued, "I'm afraid this won't work. The Pope has just decided to send troops to attack Blood Soul Realm again, and I will personally lead the team."
No wonder Monet is all armed now; it turns out it's because of this. Red and Angel's expectations have dropped a bit.
Inside the Papal Palace, all the high-ranking members of the Holy See of Light were present. Although the Snowfeather Guild had disappeared from the sight of the Central Continent, its power was still not to be underestimated. The Winter Empress alone was enough to intimidate other forces, but the Winter Empress simply couldn't be bothered with them.
"Welcome to both of you."
The Pope and the others welcomed Red and Angel, and after the basic formalities were completed, they began to discuss business.
Upon hearing that the two men were there to mediate the war between the Holy See and the Blood Soul Realm, the leaders, including the Pope, displayed varying expressions.
The Pope, in particular, showed a clear sign of displeasure, which was noticed by Red and Angel.
"Gentlemen, do you know exactly what crimes the Blood Soul Realm vampires have committed in our Holy Capital?"
The Pope slowly rose to his feet and began to speak: "The 86 newborn babies and 59 women, including 12 nuns, in the Holy City were all drained of their blood and left to rot in the sewers. If you two had witnessed that scene, I believe you would never have uttered the word 'mediation'..."
The Pope was extremely agitated as he spoke, and had already gained the upper hand on a moral level. Red and Angel, who were already low on expectations, were even more speechless after hearing this. In the end, it was Monet who spoke up for the two of them.
The meeting ended rather unpleasantly, and Hong and Angel temporarily stayed at the Holy See of Light.
"Sister Hong, should we not have come? Or should we have helped the Church of Light?"
Angel's question plunged Hong into a brief moment of contemplation; to be honest, she didn't know what to do either.
Chapter 378 The Star Families' Conspiracy
Night in the Holy City, in the Pope's bedroom
The Pope had not yet rested; he paced back and forth, as if pondering something important.
After walking back and forth a few times, he suddenly stopped, a strange smile appearing on his aged face.
He stretched out his left hand, watching it transform from human hands into wolf claws, and then slapped it against his own chest.
"For the great Savior!"
Then he stabbed himself in the heart, and with a thud, the Pope fell into a pool of blood. A small, bloody octopus crawled out of his wound, used its tentacles to stage an accident scene, cleaned up the traces, and left the dormitory.
"The first phase of the plan is complete..."
The little octopus muttered to itself as it communicated with the other little octopuses outside using special brainwaves.
The little octopus didn't rush to leave. Instead, it quietly killed the two guards in the same way, disposed of their bodies, dragged them to a secluded spot, and then went to the room where Red and Angel lived.
After finding it, it stood outside the door and quietly took out the pope's blood that it had just collected.
Inside the room, Hong and Angel were already asleep, but the smell of blood woke Hong up immediately. She scanned the room warily, wondering where the bloody smell was coming from.
Having inherited the Blood Wolf King's blood, she was extremely sensitive to the smell of blood. Without waking Angel, she followed the scent of blood and opened the door to the room, only to find no one outside.
"In that direction...?"
Red continued to follow the scent of blood; the presence of this smell within the Church of Light meant something strange had happened.
Unseen by her, the little octopus was using its blood to lure Red to the Pope's room.
According to the plan devised by these Star Families, they were to frame Red and Angel for the Pope's death.
Especially Hong, as the successor of the Blood Wolf King, is also inextricably linked to the Blood Soul Realm. Apart from those who know Hong, the other members of the Holy Light Church do not have a good impression of her.
Originally, they wanted to manipulate the Pope to launch more wars, but the Holy See of Light imposed too many restrictions, so they instead lured other forces.
Seeing these two arrive today, they felt their opportunity had arrived; it was time to make the main world even more chaotic.
Following the scent of blood, Hong found the Pope's room, unaware that the guards were gone.
The stench of blood grew stronger, and Red realized she was approaching the crime scene, that room, if she wasn't mistaken...
"That place...could it be..."
Red walked slowly into the room, while the little octopus rubbed its tentacles, revealing an impatient expression. As soon as Red entered, it immediately sounded the alarm.
Thump, click...
The door to the room wasn't closed; it opened with a knock. Hong peeked through the crack and her eyes widened.
"..."
The scene inside the room left Red completely stunned; the Pope was lying in a pool of blood.
Ding! ! !
At that moment, the emergency bells of the Holy See rang, waking up the nuns, priestesses, and knights who had been sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, unaware of what had happened.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"Has the vampire clan attacked?"
"I do not know."
"Let's wait for the bishops to speak."
……
No one knew what had happened, including the bishops.
The bishops immediately went to the Pope's bedroom to inquire about the situation, and Hong, who was standing there, also realized what was happening. She saw the claw marks on the Pope's body, the same claws as her own.
"Someone is trying to frame me..."
As the commotion outside drew closer, Hong realized something was wrong and immediately made her escape. In this situation, there was no way she could deny it; the accident scene was too obvious. The mastermind behind this was truly shrewd.
Hong, who had slipped away from Feiyan, immediately went to her bedroom, needing to tell Angel to leave as soon as possible.
"Ah, the guard's corpse?"
The bishops panicked when they saw the body of the guard lying at the crossroads. Could something have happened to the Pope?
"Go see the Pope quickly!"
A group of people rushed into the Pope's room and then witnessed the horrific scene.
The bishops looked grim, their bodies trembling with anger; this was nothing short of a blatant provocation.
Monet also rushed over, and seeing the bishops standing at the door of the Pope's room, he couldn't help but feel heavy-hearted.
"Could it be..."
Monet walked into the room, having dismissed her thoughts, and indeed, the reality was just as she had guessed.
The Pope is dead.
This news came like a bolt from the blue, enraging the high-ranking officials of the Holy See. This was a provocation from the enemy!
"How could this be..." Monet went forward to examine the Pope's body, hoping to find clues about his death.
He died from having his heart ripped out by sharp claws, and those claw marks...
"impossible?"
