"Your Holiness the Pope!" Upon seeing the distinguished figure of His Holiness the Pope, Bishop Doxia immediately prostrated himself without the slightest hesitation. Although he had some disagreements with the Pope's ideas, he had no objections to the position of Pope itself. Bishop Doxia's body was firmly grasped by a pair of hands, which then helped him up. "Your Holiness!" Bishop Doxia felt somewhat moved as he looked at the Pope before him, who had sent someone to help him up despite clearly knowing he was a vampire. The Church Knight who had assisted Bishop Doxia didn't release his hands after the bishop stood up. Instead, another Church Knight approached, and the two of them clamped Bishop Doxia between them like steel hoops, controlling him from both sides. Watching Bishop Doxia's expression shift from gratitude to confusion, His Holiness Adam finally offered a rare explanation: "Bishop Doxia, it's not that I don't trust you, but vampires cannot be trusted, as you have already transcended the human category." "That's only appropriate, Your Holiness." Bishop Doxia let out a long sigh. "So, as you said, the Rino City Church has now been occupied by vampires?" His Holiness Adam looked at Bishop Doxia, who was sandwiched between two Church Knights with crimson eyes and prominent incisors, feeling the situation was truly extraordinary. His Holiness Adam was utterly amazed. Although the Divine Corpse hung on the mountain behind them, based on His Holiness Adam's comprehensive study of Church texts, it seemed that every action of God could form the fundamental rules of this world. God mated with female wolves and gave birth to werewolves, and from then on, female wolves had a certain probability of producing the werewolf species when giving birth. Read complete versıon only at 𝗻𝗼𝘷𝗲𝗹•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥 God mated with corpses and gave birth to vampires, and from then on, corpses had a certain probability of producing vampires. From these two events, it appeared that the birth of werewolves and vampires had formed certain predetermined rules. Besides the birth methods being predetermined rules, the physical forms and species of werewolves and vampires should also be part of these established rules. This world had the existence of God, who represented the origin of all things, similar to a massive gene pool. But this also set boundaries for all things - their genes all came from this gene pool, so species evolution was already limited. Gene expression and environmental selection might leave some room for evolution theory to be useful, but the actual composition was more similar to the already disproven theory of use and disuse from Earth! Werewolves might have genes determining physical strength expressed more prominently than intelligence genes due to hunting needs, making their descendants stronger, but that was it - they couldn't evolve from werewolves into another species. In other words, this world couldn't evolve from a single cell into all things. In this world, cells were cells, dogs were dogs, and werewolves were werewolves. The environment might select the more resilient among them, but they couldn't evolve from a cell into a dog because that was their genetic limitation! And now, this genetic limitation planned by God had been broken. A werewolf evolved from the concept of a wolf's malformed body into a completely new species that could be both human and werewolf. A vampire evolved from being a minor god born from corpses into a humanoid creature capable of autonomous reproduction - this completely changed the composition of both at the genetic level. Such mutations were impossible in this world! Even the Holy Knights cultivated by the Church, who drank Divine Blood, remained within the human category. Although they gained powerful combat abilities, they lost most of their intelligence as a result. While they still had the ability to produce offspring, their children were still ordinary human babies without any changes. How could the mutagenic substance in Rino City accomplish something that even God's Divine Blood couldn't achieve? His Holiness Adam frowned deeply. In his view, the matter in Rino City was far more important than fighting with the Boar Empire and other kingdoms. This matter involving violations of God's rules had touched the very foundation of the Church's reason for existence! "Yes, Your Holiness Adam, the Rino City Church has been occupied by vampires. Both Low Bishop Goode, who governs the Rino City Church, and Priest Abraham have become servants of the devil! Even many Church Knights and missionaries have been transformed into vampires. Given a little more time, I'm afraid the entire Rino City will become a city of vampires! Moreover, these new-style vampires have extremely poor resistance to blood, frequently experiencing bloodlust... Your Holiness, this is a critical moment for our Holy Church's survival! Your Holiness Adam, although our ideals for The Church may differ, nothing matters more than The Church itself! I beg you to quickly mobilize knights to Rino City to purge the vampires. From what I observed, the abnormalities in Priest Abraham's body and the intensity of his oppression were extreme - he might very well be the source of The Church's downfall. As for me, I should bathe in God's Holy Light - though I die, I would be honored!" Bishop Doxia's face was full of sorrow. The thought of the holy Church being occupied by unclean and filthy vampires made it difficult for him to breathe from the pain. This feeling was similar to seeing a beautiful, clean, lovely wife being forced to submit to a sixty-year-old company president - utterly agonizing. However, faced with this situation, His Holiness Adam didn't seem particularly urgent. He looked quite interested at Bishop Doxia before him, observing his pale skin and crimson eyes, and finally spoke: "There's no need for death, Bishop Doxia. I know you care about our Church, so why not use your remaining energy to contribute to the Church's fight against vampires? Since you've already become a vampire, why not join the Holy Eye and become research material for our Church? After all, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. For now, your existence is actually the best help for the Holy Church." Bishop Doxia's expression immediately changed. He looked at His Holiness Adam with disbelief, his grief and indignation revealing anger, and he even cursed directly: "Adam, could it be that you also covet the immortality of vampires? This is the greatest insult to the holiness of The Church! If a Pope were to become an unclean thing like a vampire, the entire Holy Church would be overthrown because of it, Adam, Adam..." His Holiness Adam walked out of the wooden cabin, while behind him, Bishop Doxia was carried like a dead dog by the Holy Knights, completely unable to resist. As a second-generation vampire, he was ultimately far inferior to the Holy Knights, and even compared to werewolves, he was vastly inferior in both strength and speed.
