I am the Pope in the Western Fantasy World

For the time being, the Church of Fate is not worried that the Pope of the disease cult will come for revenge, as he is busy building a new sect and has not made any statement about the destruction of the disease cult.

Phil Gray even doubted whether this was part of his plan?

Without complete destruction, how can new sects be born?

But this has nothing to do with them for now.

After handing over the work of developing the disease area entirely to Bishop Joshur, Ernest returned to North City with the Knights. After all, his main responsibility was to protect His Holiness the Pope.

This winter was exceptionally cold. On the fifth day after the trade fair ended, heavy snow covered the northern part of Destiny.

Phil Gray finally found time to go to Kao City, holding a box in his hand containing some ashes.

This is the ash left after Barry and the bugs burned.

He wanted to bury Barry next to the old woman's grave.

Mother and son had to be separated during life, and I wish they would always be together after death.

The cemetery in Kayo City was covered with a layer of cold snow. Phil Gray walked by, leaving a row of shallow footprints.

There were plenty of empty spaces around the old woman's grave, so he buried Barry to her left.

Then he used divine power to carve the tombstone and also engraved a line of words: "Here rests a pure soul, may his kindness and innocence gain eternal life in the kingdom of God."

Phil Gray bowed deeply at Barry's grave.

"Goodbye."

Before leaving, he unconsciously glanced at the last row of tombstones of the original owners.

But just one glance made him discover something unusual.

The snow in front of the original owner's tombstone seemed to be lifted up by something, as if something was placed there.

He walked quickly forward and swept away the snow with his sleeves.

There was a crown revealed underneath!

This is the crown that belongs exclusively to the Pope of Destiny, the one that Victor stole from the drunkard!

Phil Gray looked around but didn't see anyone.

There were only his footprints on the snow around him.

He put the crown into the space and frowned.

What exactly does Victor mean?

He was almost certain that Victor knew his identity, and even knew that the tombstone was erected for the original owner.

So Victor was speaking up for the original owner and felt that he had taken over the original owner's life?

Is this crown a provocation?

Or did he know that I would come and placed the crown here on purpose? Returning the crown means that he recognizes my contribution to the Church of Destiny over the past few days?

These two completely different interpretations gave Phil Gray a headache. He really hated this kind of riddle man the most.

No matter what it means, just come out and confront it.

The crown was not covered deeply with snow, and it was obvious that he had arrived there only a short time earlier than himself.

Thinking of this, he immediately walked around the cemetery several times, searching for any suspicious traces, but the cemetery was empty, and there was no sign of any living person except him.

Phil Gray walked up to the hut at the entrance to the cemetery and knocked on the door.

The gravekeeper ran out immediately. The old man was wearing a big straw hat and a thick woolen scarf around his neck and face to block the erosion of wind and snow. Only a pair of cloudy brown eyes were exposed.

"It's His Holiness the Pope. Have you finished your work? It's snowing heavily. Please come in and sit for a while."

He turned sideways, revealing the warm hut with burning white stone.

"No need. Is there anyone else coming today besides me?"

"No, who would come here in this heavy snow? Even on normal days, few people come here." The gravekeeper coughed, as if because he inhaled cold air.

"Has anyone visited the last row of tombstones since I left last time?"

"No, no, I remember all your instructions. As the most loyal believer of fate, I will never go against your wishes. Even if I die, I will not let anyone go to the last row." The gravekeeper barely finished speaking and started coughing violently again.

"Okay, okay, it's not that serious. You can rest. I'm leaving now."

Phil Gray quickly helped him into the hut, then left the cemetery with a sullen face.

After he left, accompanied by the crackling sound of burning white stone, the gravekeeper took off his scarf and straw hat on his head, revealing his light gray hair.

The brown eyes slowly turned into sapphire blue.

……

"The bishop of the Dream God Cult has taken action, and believers in several cities in the southern part of Dawn have been suffering from nightmares all night long!"

"A large number of War Cult war cavalry crossed the coast and reached the western coast of Dawn, opening up a second battlefield in Numas City!"

"The coalition forces of our church and the Church of Creation arrived at the border of the Church of War a day ago."

"The Pope of the Church of the Dead, Harris Simmons, may not live long. After this peace-loving leader returns to the Kingdom of God, will the Church of the Dead fully join the war?"

Eli's expression became serious as he read the Life Church newspaper.

"The situation in Weir is getting more and more chaotic. Not only is the war situation among the various religions becoming more and more severe, but there are also those three gods who are eyeing us and trying to summon the gods of the Abyss. It's really a headache." Phil Gray sighed.

"Have you finished the matter of the Second Knights of Fate?"

"Well, luckily my uncle lent me the family knight of the Gray family. Otherwise, I really couldn't pick a divine revelation-level knight to serve as the leader of the Second Knights. We really have too few high-level followers. But fate has said that we must contribute to this war. This is my promise to Elder Grant."

"When do we leave?"

"They will leave tomorrow."

He and Ernest selected a group of outstanding knights of fate to form the Second Knights of Fate, equipped with weapons purchased from the Cult of Creation. Led by Edmund, they joined the coalition of Dawn.

"The newspaper said that the leader of the peace faction of the Church of the Dead is about to die of illness. The leader of the war faction - the Knight Commander and the Grand Elder of the Church of the Dead are likely to involve the entire Church of the Dead in the war after the Pope's death. By then, Dawn's chances of winning will be greatly reduced."

Eli handed the news in the newspaper to Phil Gray.

"The Church of the Dead is currently divided into two factions. Their Knight Commander and Grand Elder support the war and stand on the side of the Church of Dreams and War, while their Pope and Archbishop oppose the war and demand to remain neutral. When the Pope was alive, the peace faction could still compete with the war faction, and the Church of the Dead had not made any obvious moves. Now that the Pope has passed away, the attitude of the Church of the Dead is likely to change!"

After listening to Eli's explanation, Phil Gray became a little worried.

If the Church of the Dead is added, can the Dawn Alliance still gain the upper hand?

Right now, the Dawn Alliance is having a hard time dealing with wars and dreams, and it also has to pay attention to the progress of the Bloody Disaster. Add to that the involvement of the Church of the Dead, and it will probably be even more difficult to cope with.

But what can they do?

Although destiny is now moving in a good direction, its power is still very weak and cannot provide more help.

He is only at the divine revelation level.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a chill enveloping his entire body, and then he heard the whisper of the gods that he had not heard for a long time: "Put on the crown of death, and be crowned emperor on the throne of bones—"

Phil Gray was stunned. Is this the motto of the God of Death?

Wearing the crown of death?

Does the Grim Reaper want to become the Pope of the Church of the Dead?

No way! I just cleaned up the mess of the Destiny Cult and I got this mission!

However, if he became the Pope of the Church of the Dead, it seemed that he could indeed make the Church of the Dead withdraw from the war.

That's one way to do it, isn't it?

He came to his senses and looked at Eli. Just as he was about to talk to him about this outrageous idea, he saw Eli staring at the ground with a dull look in his eyes.

"Hey! What's wrong?"

Eli was startled, "Boss, I just seemed to hear the words of the God of Death!"

"He also wants you to be the Pope of the Church of the Dead?"

"That's not the case. Wait, also? Did you just hear the motto? Did the God of Death ask you to be the Pope of the Church of the Dead?"

"That's about right. What's your motto?"

"Maybe it's to let me end the factional struggles in the Church of the Dead and unify the Church of the Dead." Eli tilted his head and wondered to himself, "No way? This depends on the person? Why can't I be the Pope?"

“Maybe I think I already have experience.”

"Humph, I am the Son of the God of Death after all. I should be more qualified than you, the Son of the Daytime Prophet, right?" Eli rolled his eyes. "The Unification Church can be unified if I become the Pope. Wait and see who will be crowned. A worker can become a boss one day."

"Okay." Phil Gray raised the corners of his lips.

"Then it's better to set off tomorrow rather than later? Before the next Pope of the Dead takes the throne, work hard towards that position? Anyway, we haven't made any progress in destiny for the time being."

"Okay, I'm going to hand over some matters to Patrick and Ernest tonight. They are not followers of the God of Death, so it would be more conspicuous if they follow us to the Church of the Dead."

"Yes, don't worry, the boss's safety is in my hands."

"So you're still planning on competing with me for a spot?"

"Except for the Pope."

The two smiled at each other and decided to go to the Church of the Dead.
