Chapter 139: The Bishop’s New Plan

The Bishop simply stood up and came to Baal.

“A new mecha? Is this information reliable?”

“Absolutely,” said Baal firmly.

“What kind of new mecha is it?”

“The Virgin Mary’s factory is very secretive and heavily guarded. It’s very difficult for my people to obtain more information.”

“You have to find out exactly what the Virgin Mary’s new mecha is, even if you have to reveal your identity to the Virgin Mary…”

The Bishop had an extremely angry expression on his face. After a moment, he changed his appearance.

“No, this will make the Virgin Mary lose her loyalty to me. That is not why I sent you to monitor her. It was to test her loyalty. Otherwise, I would not have given her the entire San Francisco area.”

“Then what should I do, Great Bishop?”

“Now, there is a person called the God of War Peter among the Genetic Warriors. This person has nurtured high-level Genetic Warriors in the Genetics College and has become a threat to the Holy City. I need you to convince the Virgin Mary to contribute her new smart mechas. I want to eliminate Peter before he completely rises to power.”

“Great Bishop, I will obey your orders.”

The Holy War Bishop continued to look at Baal.

“Baal, I can still see your loyalty. I hope to always see your loyalty as it is today.”

“My loyalty to you will never change, Great Bishop.”

The Bishop smiled in satisfaction.

“Tonight, I will hold a banquet for you. I want everyone in the Holy City to see that only those who are loyal will obtain honor.”

Baal knelt on the ground again.

“I cannot describe how grateful I am for your grace.”

“Go. I’ve already ordered someone to arrange a bedroom for you. Go wash your dust off and showcase your beauty that matches this glory at tonight’s banquet.”

“Yes, Great Bishop.” Baal stood up and walked out of the hall.

At this moment, the clouds in the sky were thin. Occasionally, a ray of sunlight shone on this golden city, making it look like heaven. However, in Baal’s eyes, the world he was in was like an endless purgatory.

After Baal left, Oria walked out of the hidden corner of the temple.

“Great Bishop, how loyal do you think Baal is to you now?”

The Holy War Bishop did not answer Oria’s question. Instead, the moment he turned around, a ruthless expression appeared on his face. He knew in his heart that as long as he could not break through to the next level, the people who had once followed him would no longer be as loyal as before.

This included the person in front of him. They were all spying on the power of the Holy City.

The Holy War Bishop now had a headache. Ever since his father left this world, he had only been told how to maintain the power of the Holy City, which was to use the blood of the Thunder God to continuously create more powerful smart mechas. However, he did not know where the body of the Thunder God was now. Furthermore, his father had not told him this important information before he disappeared.

He knew that the Virgin Mary’s goal in secretly creating this new smart mecha was none other than to find the body of the Thunder God. Whoever found it first would be the next ruler of the Holy City.

“Oria, guess why the Virgin Mary wants to create a new smart mecha.”

Upon hearing the Holy War Bishop’s sudden question, Oria felt that it was strange. Could it be that the old fellow in front of him had already suspected him?

“Great Bishop, I’ve been in the Washington area all this time. I haven’t seen the Virgin Mary in the past year. I wonder why she’s secretly creating a new smart mecha.”

“Then do you know why I went to Washington Base City?”

Hm? Oria wondered why the old fellow had asked him that.

“Didn’t you prohibit my mecha army from entering the San Francisco area for the sake of the Virgin Mary’s dignity? It looks like my position as crown prince will never be stable.”

Oria was deliberately testing the Holy War Bishop. He wanted to obtain some useful information from the reaction of the leader.

“Even if a person is stupid, they have to learn to hide their stupidity. As for a king, even if he only cares about his personal interests, he has to be focused on the overall situation.”

Oria continued to voice his doubts.

“I think I understand what you mean. It seems like I’m indeed not the future heir in your heart.”

However, after Oria finished speaking, he saw the rare temper of the Holy War Bishop in front of him.

“That’s why you have to learn to become a true king. Otherwise, how will you inherit my Holy City in the future?”

Oria could feel the anger of the Bishop. However, he knew that the Bishop did not doubt him. This was the usual behavior of the old fellow in front of him. He would not hide his thoughts only when he was angry.

“Alright! I don’t want to continue arguing about loyalty. I just want you to do one thing now.”

Oria knew that the Bishop in front of him really did not want to discuss who was loyal to him. He was no fool. In the face of absolute power, any false loyalty would not last long.

“Great Bishop, please instruct me.”

The Holy War Bishop suddenly turned around and looked at a figure that had appeared outside the window. He knew who it was.

“Wait a minute. I also informed David to come. We’ll talk when he comes in.”

Oria followed the voice and saw David appear outside the window. He was curious why the old fellow had called David over as well.

After a short wait, David finally entered the hall of the temple. The Holy War Bishop raised his hand and motioned for him to come over.

Meanwhile, Oria stood beside the Holy War Bishop and also looked at David, who was walking over, with an assessing gaze.

This made David very uncomfortable, but he did not have the right to stand beside the Bishop now. Thus, he could only kneel in front of the Bishop.

“Great Bishop, you summoned me!”

The Holy War Bishop motioned for David to get up. Then, he presented his new plan.

“The Washington area is very close to New York. I want you to go back and start investigating the Genetic God of War Peter with all your might. David, you have to do your best because your cowardice has caused you to lose the New York Base City. This is the best time for you to atone for your crimes.”

Beads of sweat began to appear on David’s forehead. Although the power in New York Base City could still be used, he did not dare to contradict the Holy War Bishop now. After all, this was the Holy City, not the base city that he had previously controlled.

“Great Bishop, don’t worry. Oria and I will definitely check on the God of War Peter. We will also find out how he obtained the powerful genetic power.”

When David first discovered the God of War Peter, he had already explained in his first secret message to the Holy City that a powerful Genetic Warrior had suddenly appeared in New York Base City. Furthermore, his device indicated that he was minimally a Genetic General.

This was when Peter had just joined the Genetics College for more than a month. At that time, Peter had just extracted the Thunder God genes.

After the Holy War Bishop saw the message about Peter, he did not take it seriously. Thus, this matter was temporarily ignored by everyone. Then, Peter returned from the island and was already a Genetic God of War. Furthermore, he also helped the base city to successfully defend against the siege of the mutated beasts. Only then the Holy War Bishop began to pay attention to Peter.

At this moment, in order to leave a good impression on the Holy War Bishop, David took the initiative to reveal a secret piece of information.
