I am the Pope in the Western Fantasy World

Phil Gray continued with a sharp look, "My partner almost gave his life to save the city of Numas, and you let him climb these stairs step by step?"

"Ah? Your Highness, I'm so sorry. We were so busy chatting just now that we forgot about you." Melody blushed. She was so happy to see Vincent just now that she even forgot about the Holy Son and the others behind her.

She lowered her head and saw that the pattern on the steps had turned gray. She said in annoyance, "What happened?"

"Let me take a look. It seems that the divine power inside is insufficient. It's strange. Someone injects divine power on time every month, and this situation has never happened before." Vincent, who was extremely excited to see the arrival of the new Son of God, was stunned for a moment. He also squatted down and looked at the steps, and then came to this conclusion.

Phil Gray knew, of course, that it couldn't have been done by the two of them, and his eyes were mainly on Aubrey, who was standing aside with a calm expression.

He asked with a half-smile, "Does Elder Aubrey know what's going on?"

"I guess the servants have been lazy this month. Saint, don't worry about it." Aubrey's smile was filled with a hint of pride. He turned around and waved his hand, and the patterns on the steps lit up with golden light again.

"Now that you are here, come with me to meet the Pope."

After saying that, he left behind his back.

Melody gave an apologetic smile, as if she sensed Elder Aubrey's opinion of the Son of God.

Vincent walked up to Phil Gray and blinked. "I'm so sorry that you encountered such bad luck right after you arrived. But we have prepared a welcome dinner for you. I also prepared a small gift for you. May the Prophet of the Day praise your tolerance."

Phil Gray was a little angry, but his partner had already come up, and for Vincent's sake, he agreed to ignore the matter for the time being. However, Aubrey had already been classified as an enemy by him.

Eli and Ernest followed behind him, like the most devout believers guarding their gods, and walked into this magnificent church in the air with their heads held high.

The interior of the church also unsurprisingly reflects the style of the morning sun. Although it is decorated with gold, it does not look at all vulgar like a secular palace or mansion.

There are several chairs under the statue of the White Day Prophet. Sitting in the middle is a white-haired old man. He wears a crown inlaid with crystals of the morning light, holds a thick golden book in his hand, and has a kind and friendly smile on his face.

Phil Gray guessed that he was the Pope of the Dawn.

Feeling it carefully, the power of the morning light on his body was as deep as the ocean, like a sun resting on the ground.

Although this Pope is also a demoted god, he seems to be more powerful than the previous Elder Grant and Aubrey.

There were five or six elder-like people sitting around the Pope. They looked at him with the same eager eyes, as if they had seen some rare treasure.

"Greetings to His Holiness the Pope." The people walking in front of Phil Gray said in unison and half-knelt down to salute the Pope.

This confirmed his guess that this person was indeed the Pope of the Dawn.

He hesitated for a moment, should he salute the Pope?

As a member of the younger generation, he should salute the elders, and as the Son of Dawn, he should also salute the Pope. However, as the Pope of the Church of Destiny, although there is a huge gap in strength between the two churches, they are both nominally the leaders of the six major churches of the gods. If he performs the half-squatting salute, wouldn't that make the Church of Destiny inferior to Dawn?

Thinking of this, he just bowed slightly and said, "Greetings to His Holiness the Pope!"

Aubrey frowned, labeling this new saint as being rude.

He snorted coldly and said directly: "Your Highness the Holy Son still concealed his true appearance under the statue of the Daytime Prophet, and did not even salute when meeting His Holiness the Pope. This is really disrespectful!"

As soon as Elder Aubrey finished speaking, His Holiness the Pope coughed lightly, interrupting Aubrey's accusation.

"Aubrey, have you said enough?" Although the Pope's voice was gentle, it carried unquestionable majesty.

Aubrey could only shut up and sit in one of the free chairs.

"Okay, you young people, sit down and talk." The Pope waved his hand lightly, and a row of similar chairs appeared opposite them.

They thanked him and sat down next to the Pope.

Phil Gray looked at the Pope of Dawn. The old man always looked at him with a gentle and appreciative gaze. Wherever his gaze touched was like being bathed in pure and warm sunshine.

"Sorry, I forgot to take off my mask."

After tearing off the mask, a handsome and young face was revealed, shocking Vincent and Melody who had never seen his true face.

"It's okay. We understand your difficulties." Pope Dawn handed the golden book to Phil Gray. "I already have a general understanding of what happened in Numas City this time. Thanks to you, plus what happened in the Dark Night Parish last time, Dawn should thank you."

"You are too kind. Since Chenxi has acknowledged me as the Holy Son, I will certainly fulfill my duties as the Holy Son."

Phil Gray took the book. It was the Bible of the Church of the Dawn, "The Day Prophet", which Vincent had given him last time.

"Your Highness the Holy Son is young and promising, and is favored by the gods. It is indeed an honor for us, Chenxi." The elder sitting next to the Pope spoke. He also knew this elder, who was the previous Elder Grant.

"Yes, and still..." A female elder sitting next to Grant wanted to add something, but was stopped by Pope Dawn.

Pope Dawn stood up and said, "Melodi, you've worked hard, go down and rest first. Glenn, Nancy, Saint Cain and these two friends stay. I have something to say."

"Yes."

The elders left reluctantly, their eyes still lingering on Phil Gray. Although it made him feel a little uncomfortable, it was much better than seeing Aubrey's livid face.

"Okay, Phil, can I call you that?" Pope Dawn asked Phil Gray to sit next to him and spoke to him as if he were his own son.

"Of course." Phil Gray nodded. Elder Grant knew his identity, and Pope Dawn must know it too.

He secretly calculated in his mind, wondering if these elders of Dawn knew his identity as the Pope of the Church of Destiny. It would be fine if they were friendly, but for someone like Aubrey, knowing his identity would be disadvantageous to him.
