I am the Pope in the Western Fantasy World

After Phil Gray dealt with some trivial matters of the Church of the Dead, he analyzed the current situation in the continent of Weir with the archbishop and the legion commander.

During the time when he participated in the selection of the Church of the Dead, the various sects led by Chenxi were still caught in a struggle with the Dreamland and the War Church. However, with the support of the Church of Life, the Church of Creation, the Church of Eternity and other sects, Chenxi was temporarily in the upper hand. Not only did it defend the border cities, it also had a tendency to counterattack against the Dreamland.

The Cult of Dark Night and the Church of War are adjacent to each other. The Church of War originally planned to attack it, but was restrained by the coalition forces of the Church of Life and the Church of Eternity. At this time, the Second Knights of Destiny led by Edmund also arrived in Dark Night, and Dark Night was temporarily safe.

The only one who can remain neutral now is the Church of the Dead, because both sides are afraid that the Church of the Dead will join one of them, so they dare not take action against them.

Dreams and War had sent letters several times requesting the Church of the Dead to join, but were rejected by the previous Pope. This time, when the new Pope took over, they were about to send out an invitation when they heard the declaration. Now they had no choice but to give up the plan of letting the Church of the Dead join.

Naturally, Chenxi would not take the initiative to attack the Church of the Dead, so as not to create a powerful enemy for nothing.

"The current situation is very favorable to us. We don't need to pay attention to the war between them," Phil Gray said with a smile on his face. "Our current goal is to find a way to destroy the newly established Red Eye Cult."

"You said that this sect believes in the evil gods outside the Weir continent, and those three subordinate gods have abandoned the belief in death..." The archbishop frowned. His Holiness the Pope had just explained that the gods of the Abyss tried to invade the Weir continent, which shocked him greatly. He did not expect that there was such a shocking secret when the continent was in turmoil.

"Yes, so no matter what the grudges between us and Chenxi are, we have to put them aside now for the common enemy and the safety of the Weir continent." Phil Gray said in a deep voice. He believed that the Church of the Dead, as one of the six major churches of the Lord, had its own principles and sense of responsibility. In the face of such a situation, the church's top leaders would make the right choice, so he told the archbishop the truth.

The archbishop and his entourage naturally believed the news about the new emperor, who had a close relationship with God.

The legion commander nodded, a hint of ruthlessness appeared on his brows, "I understand. I have been formulating a strategic plan to wipe out the Red Eye Cult these days, and I have also sent people to gather information."

"Okay, the legion commander is good at this, so I'll leave it to you. You must be careful and protect yourself first. Although they are possessed, they are still gods. I estimate that their strength after possession may be at the Shinto level, so it may be very difficult to fight them. Try to avoid them and attack their minions."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Chenxi should have people there as well. I think we can join forces under appropriate circumstances."

"what?"

Phil Gray said earnestly: "The overall situation is important."

……

Five days passed in a flash, and the legion commander had already led the Legion of the Dead away.

Phil Gray believed that with the addition of the Legion of the Dead, they would be able to cause some trouble to the three gods.

Eli has learned a lot of things from the master these days and has been busy running around. However, Heiye has a new younger brother, Yi Laizhe, to serve him, so he doesn't need him to take care of his food anymore.

Yi Laizhe is an expert at making coffins, and he also has an outstanding talent for making cat climbing frames and cat beds. Phil Gray simply drew a blueprint, but he was able to apply it to other situations and make more interesting things. This made Heiye very satisfied, and he even took the initiative to tell him his identity.

After knowing that the cat was actually a god, Yi Laizhe worked even harder and believed more firmly in the rumors about his Majesty's identity.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and Phil Gray thought he could finally take a break, but he soon received a letter from his cousin Patrick.

The letter was delivered to him by Gustave through a secret communication with fate.

Phil Gray opens the letter:

"Cousin, I am very happy!

Congratulations on becoming the Pope of the Church of the Dead! When I heard that the new Pope of the Church of the Dead was Milu, I was stunned for a moment. Hahaha, of course I guessed it was you. It seems that you and Eli are doing very well over there.

In addition to congratulating you, I also want to tell you a piece of news. I plan to go to the South China Sea, because my Edith went there. Yes, both Ediths went there. One of them wrote to me and said that she felt the call of the goddess of the sea, and the other left without saying goodbye, saying that she was on the road to find herself. Fate is so amazing. I often wonder if they have some kind of wonderful connection, and also think about whether my escape is a wrong decision. Now they force me to make a choice. I must go find them, face them, and find the truth! However, the South China Sea is too big, and I don’t know where Edith and the others are, but no matter how far or how long, I will catch up with them. I don’t know when I can return to the Holy See after this departure, so I wrote this letter to you.

Looking forward to seeing you again, your cousin Patrick."

The South China Sea...that endless ocean, it seems my cousin has found it.

As soon as Phil Gray put down the letter, he noticed the report that someone had delivered to his desk in the morning. The words "South China Sea" were prominently displayed.

"Three days ago, a relic was found in the South China Sea. It is suspected to be the treasure of the Pirate Queen Phoenix from five hundred years ago. Should we send someone to investigate?"

Treasure discovered in the South China Sea?

Isn't this too much of a coincidence?

Phil Gray suddenly thought of something, and a pair of sky-blue diamond-shaped earrings appeared in his palm. These were the key to the treasure that Frank had given him. He said it was left by a female pirate...

Now it all fits!

He was lost in thought as to whether Edith's departure at this time had anything to do with the pirate queen.

At this moment, the long-lost whisper of fate appeared in my ears again: "Witness fate and discover yourself."

Phil Gray was shocked. Did the God of Destiny want him to get involved?

Whose fate? Edith’s? Edith’s journey of self-discovery?

He rubbed his temples. No matter what, he had to go when the mission came, and he could also take care of his cousin. The ruins had been discovered, and all the sects would definitely participate in the fight for the treasure. It would be too dangerous for his cousin to be alone.

Fortunately, the Church of the Dead doesn't need him for the time being, and with Eli around, they can still handle it.

Just after finishing work for the God of Death, the God of Destiny came. These two gods really don’t want to let themselves rest for a single day.

He picked up a pen and wrote a reply on the report: "Agree to go to the South China Sea ruins to explore, and will send the newly formed Night Shadow Knight Squadron."

After he finished writing, he called the archbishop.

"You mean you're going there in person?"

"Yes, there is something in the ruins that I must get." Phil Gray said without question.

Not only does he have to fulfill the motto of the God of Destiny, but don't forget that there are rumors that the fourth Pen of Truth, "The Mirror", was stolen by the female pirate, so this pen is very likely among her treasures.

To collect all five pens and gain the power of the God of Wisdom, you must make a trip.

The archbishop was too surprised. He really couldn't figure out this Pope, whether it was his identity and background, the information he had about the gods of the abyss, his relationship with the gods, etc. Also, how could there be a Pope who would abandon the church and go explore the ruins himself as soon as he took office?

"Is it too dangerous for you to go alone? It would be better to bring some undead knights with you, or ask a few elders to accompany you?"

Phil Gray shook his head. He still wanted to meet his cousin, and it would be inconvenient to bring people from the Church of the Dead with him. "Don't worry. Have you forgotten that I can summon powerful undead? It would be more convenient for me to move around on my own."

"Then there is no one around you to take care of you, so...how about letting Saint Yilai or Saint Yilaizhe accompany you?"

"We don't need them anymore. Eli has to take care of some things in the church for me. As for Yi Laizhe, the undead behind him is too conspicuous. I can't even take a train with him, and maybe I can't even get on a merchant ship." Phil Gray said with a smile.

"Then you must be careful!"

"rest assured!"

After saying goodbye to Eli, the Night Shadow Team, consisting of one man and one cat, flew towards the South China Sea on the Skeleton Bird.

On the other hand, a hotel in the city of Lampuga quietly closed down a few days after the new Pope took office. The vampire owner and his employees rushed to the headquarters of the Holy See. This gave Eli and Yilaizhe another boost in their boss' attempt to completely control the Church of the Dead.
