Quick Transmigration: Help! What to do when my husband is obsessed with love?

Chapter 262 Paladin 26

Of course not!

The bulging veins on the two elderly people's wrists revealed their attitude at that moment.

"I hate you old-fashioned types the most," Ling Yi muttered, glancing sideways at Sereos.

Sereos blinked his purple eyes at her, and after they tacitly agreed on the reward, the flames burned even brighter.

"what……"

The screams rose three degrees higher, and even the face that had just been burned could not be preserved.

After burning for a short while, Ling Yi asked in surprise, "Why aren't you telling me?"

The soul cursed, "Go ahead and ask me, you son of a bitch!"

Tsk, how can the Pope be so impolite?

Ling Yi gave a look of disdain, then raised her chin and said, "Tell me who you are, why you are here, why you are still alive, and why I killed Dulles."

The first pope breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing her question: "Put out the flames first, and then I'll tell you."

His answer was an even more intense flame; Sereos was never threatened.

"Ah, I'll tell you, I'll tell you, the previous flames are fine!"

He screamed in agony for a long time before Sereos finally turned the high-heat stir-fry into a low-heat roast.

Even after the fire, this flame that caused such excruciating pain that one wished for death could bring solace to the first pope.

Under Sereos's watchful gaze, he recounted the entire story, beginning and end, like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.

From his fear of death and attempts to possess each pope, to his failed attempt to possess the current pope, and the pope's attempt to possess Lucius, which was thwarted by his escape.

A sound logical argument, coupled with a few secrets about the Vatican unknown to others, was enough to convince the two cardinals.

The two cardinals looked extremely grim; the news was like a bolt from the blue for them.

If the Son of God in their hearts is like this, then what has been their pursuit all these years?

Seeing that she was about to break the two old people's resolve, Ling Yi quickly comforted them: "Although he is not human, most of the bishops in the Holy See are not human either, and there are also some paladins who are not human..."

Seeing that the two cardinals were about to break apart, Ling Yi changed the subject: "But everything the ascetics did was real."

Without the support of these ascetics, how could the Holy See have its current prestige?

"Although you trusted the wrong person, you have done a great job protecting the Vatican! Isn't it all thanks to you that the people now worship the Vatican so devoutly?"

Ling Yi probably wasn't very good at comforting people; in any case, after she finished speaking, the two old men's expressions became even more unpleasant.

Sereos gently tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "If you keep getting angry, they'll die soon."

Aren't these two still useful to Yi Yi? They can't die easily before a successor is found.

"Alright then." Ling Yi shrugged. "I'll shut up. You two can continue digesting this."

She felt that with a brain the size of a human fist, processing something that would overturn one's worldview might be a bit of a hassle.

But those two were clearly small, refined, and well-trained minds. After the initial shock, they immediately asked, "So Lucius Lyle's so-called 'defection' was because he didn't want to become the Pope's vessel?"

"Congratulations, you got it right." Ling Yi nodded.

"Did you learn about this in the Demon Realm, which is why you decided to come back and kill the Pope?"

"The process was wrong, but the result was right."

The two cardinals' aged faces twitched. The man who had just exuded domineering aura now seemed a bit... strange.

We're discussing a matter of life and death for the Vatican, can you please be a little more serious?

But it was this unserious person who truly saved the Papacy, which had been shrouded in shadow for thousands of years. What else could they do but tolerate her frivolity?

“Then I support you as the new pope.” The two cardinals exchanged a glance and finally bowed.

Ling Yi nodded in satisfaction.

With two capable key personnel supporting her, wouldn't things become much simpler from then on?

That's what she thought, but her core employees clearly didn't.

The two, who quickly got into character, immediately raised a serious question after meeting the Pope: "Your Majesty, apart from us, the remaining cardinals have their own families and factions, and they will not willingly submit to your rule."

Not to mention that those guys didn't know Ling Yi's predicament, even if they did, they wouldn't agree to Ling Yi's tyrannical rule.

"I think we should guard against their defection as early as possible."

Such a massive force defecting would be an immeasurable loss for the Papacy.

"I'm just waiting for them to defect," Ling Yi said with a smile. "If they don't defect, where am I supposed to quell the rebellion?"

Upon hearing this, the two cardinals glanced again at Dulles's unseeing head. The new pope really did like this simple and straightforward approach.

"But their defection would cause a split within the Vatican, lead to the exodus of lower-ranking clergy, and prevent ordinary people from receiving medical treatment and...prayer."

The moment they learned that the Pope's soul had taken over the souls of countless descendants, they began to doubt the so-called gods and prayers, and at that moment, it was difficult for them to utter the word "prayer."

In this matter, what they care about most is treatment.

In this world, the Vatican acts as a powerful force, like the Red Cross, capable of using its fists to persuade countless countries to willingly submit to its rule.

The middle and upper classes could afford to hire magicians or wild priests to heal them, but the lower classes could only rely on the churches that stood in the cities.

The cardinal did not want the medical disaster to happen to the lower classes.

Ling Yi smiled and said, "A split is inevitable. If those who escaped the Vatican want to gain a foothold in one place, they will have to pay a greater price than before to win over the ordinary people and make them live a better life."

"if……"

Ling Yi interrupted the cardinal's "what if" and said calmly, "If they don't do this, I will kill them immediately. Once I've killed enough people, the others will know what to do."

In short, I will allow you to be independent for the time being. You should govern your own territories well and wait for me to unify them.

The two cardinals were speechless. What a cruel and confident pope he was to utter such words! They were completely defeated.

“Alright, as you wish, I will keep an eye on their movements.” One matter was put aside, and another was brought up.

"Your Majesty, if the bishops' defection is a matter between us humans, then the matter concerning the demons is a matter of life and death for this continent."

"Now that such a major event has occurred in the Holy See, when the demons see our weakness, they will not hesitate to attack the continent, causing widespread suffering."

“We know you are powerful, but you alone cannot fight against all the demons.”

"The Demon King has now quietly arrived on the continent. He is secretly watching this beautiful human world. Please be careful of the cunning demons, and do your best to unite the people of this continent to fight against them!"

The two priests spoke with great passion and fervor when they mentioned the demons.
