Death Guns In Another World

Lucius tried to calm his anger as he accepted the incoming video call.

Immediately right after he accepted the video call, the face of a furious Julius appeared.

''Lucius, do you take my empire's subjects as your guinea pig?" Julius asked, and his voice was not friendly; he skipped every formality and directly asked. The Pope, who was about to play the fool, stopped immediately when he saw the memory stone in Julius's hand, the latter played it, and the entire video was playing. To make matters worse, there was one of their believers, a young child around twelve; he had a pale face and above his head was a sinister floating black seed.

''What do you have to say, Lucius?" Julius asked slowly, as if he didn't want the Pope to miss out on any word.

The Pope closed his eyes, and his eyes turned frosty.

''I don't know what you're talking about. What kind of proof do you have?"

Shameless, the Pope was even more shameless than Alex; even though the proof had been presented, he refused to acknowledge his empire's involvement. He would rather die than acknowledge it. Alex thought he was smart, but by killing the church's members was a mistake; if they were still alive and were handed over to the emperor, things would have become messier; fortunately for him and unfortunately for Alex, he had been too impulsive.

Julius waved his hand, and the boy disappeared from the meeting room before the emperor burst into laughter.

''Hahahaha! Lucius, do you take me for a fool?"

Boom!

A terrifying amount of lightning exploded from the emperor's body, turning the meeting room upside down, the sturdy pillars began to show signs of cracking, space was constantly twisting around Julius, even Lucius could feel Julius's threatening aura from the video call, he felt a little bit stuffy even when the man was a thousand kilometers from him.

'As expected of the strongest emperor.' Lucius sighed because of the difference between them but soon smiled internally; soon, he wouldn't have an equal; even Elseria wouldn't be his match after their goddess descended into this world. He just had to endure it a bit more until tomorrow, and everything would be worth it.

''If you have nothing else to say, I'll cut off the communication. I have something urgent to take care of.'' Lucius said, and he was prepared to cut off the communication; Julius looked at him strangely before concealing his strength; he was the one that cut off the communication first, but before doing that, he left some words behind.

''It's good to pretend, but we will see how long you will pretend. You got it all wrong and soon you'll understand.''

The Pope felt a chill run down his back. He didn't know exactly why either, but his fine hairs were standing on end. He immediately called out for someone.

''Gather every information you have on what happened in Avalon right away.'' The Pope ordered before calling for an immediate meeting.

The seven cardinals and several high priests reunited around the holy table.

''Have you heard what happened in the Drexia empire? Two of our churches were destroyed, our church's members slaughtered.'' The Pope said right after taking a seat.

''We heard what happened. Holy Father, what should we do? We must not sit idly and do nothing. What would the world think if we let this blasphemy unpunished?" One of the cardinals said, cardinal Pierrot, a muscular man with a mustache.

The other cardinals nodded, the Pope nodded, and right as he was about to continue, he stopped as his communication stone started ringing again. However, because he was in the middle of a meeting, he decided not to receive the call; the other party saw his refusal and sent a vocal message directly into his head through the communication stone.

Lucius's face darkened upon listening to the message, the content of the message was not much, but it came from the emperor of the Lionheart Empire; as the leader of the union of the Beastmen, he asked for an explanation about some discovery, a clown appeared in their empires and revealed a terrible secret. It was exactly like what happened in the Drexia empire.

''Holy father, what is the problem?" Cardinal Pierrot asked after he saw the Pope frowning and his face darkened.

''We are being attacked from all sides.'' The Pope responded.

''What?" Everyone present was shocked. They knew what the Pope's words meant; it means that this clown whatever was attacking the other empires as well and also revealing their secret.

And when those present came face to face with the reality, their faces darkened; how audacious one had to be to do all of this? It was at this moment they understood that Alex was a madman. It was impossible for him alone to do all of this, but he must have relied on his men and friends; he must have dragged the emperors to his side.

Just imagining how he did all of this while not being present made the cardinals afraid, and they said in unison.

''This young man must be killed at all cost.''

The Pope was well aware of the urgency of killing Alex; the young man was too dangerous; just for the sake of one woman, he did all of this?

This type of person was too dangerous to be kept alive, not only because of his terrifying potential but because of his scary connections; the current Alex was like a chess player moving chess pieces as he pleased just to kill one chess piece.

''Send Lazarus to the Far East Empire to eliminate the boy. I bet he would be trying to sneak away now that a big commotion has started. It must have been what he was waiting for.'' The Pope ordered while ignoring the numerous messages he had received for a while; even the Far East Empire emperor also contacted him.

'He has to die.' More than ever, they must eliminate the man.

Lazarus was their strongest templar knight; the templar knights were special military forces of the Holy Crux empire, only used for their crusade, they were not many, but they were strong. Lazarus was the strongest of all, gifted in the assassination.

One of the cardinals left after receiving the Pope's order, in charge of the military department.
