Holy Church

## Description

The positions of the Holy Church in descending order were Pope, Archbishop, three cardinals, chief bishop, bishop, pastor, deacon and ordinary friar or nun.

The current glorious Pope Vantis was the highest leader in the human world.

Whether it was the 2 great empires or the other empires, the empire kings could only lower their noble heads in front of this Pope. For countless years, there had been countless changes in the ruling of the empires, but the Light Divinity Temple had always stood firm. The power of the church had penetrated into every level and every corner of every empire. It could be said to be deeply rooted and unshakable.

There were 2 Archbishops second only to the Pope who enjoyed special power and status. One was Pusmeer, who was proficient in astrology, and the other was Holy Lady Eudora.

The cardinals were directly appointed by the Pope. There were 3 people in total, but in addition to the 3 cardinals, there were 2 people who also had the same status as the cardinals. One was the Head Judge of the Tribunal, Seus, and the other was the Paladin Captain, Parsali.

The Tribunal was one of the two armed powers of the Holy Church which directly reported to the Pope. It mainly consisted of penance cultivators with strong combat power. Its responsibility was to sanction the heretics and clear out the dark power.

Another armed power was the Glorious Knight which was responsible for defending the faith and guarding the light. Each empire capital had a Light Knight Legion branch which was not restricted by the laws of the empire. The highest level of the Glorious Knight was the Paladin under the Holy Light Mountain, followed by the Divinity Temple Knight stationed in the Holy Light Mountain or in charge of each empire branch, and lastly the ordinary Light Knight.

The same was for the chief bishop. The chief bishop of Holy Light Mountain had a higher status than the ordinary chief bishops responsible for the church affairs of each empire. The candidates for chief bishops were selected among the bishops, and the bishops were selected from the pastors, and so forth.

## Faction

"Although the White Cliff has many factions, the 3 main factions dominate. Pope Faction, who represents the archangel, is the leader of 3 factions, followed by 2 bishops, Pusmeer and my teacher Eudora. There are many talents in the Pope Faction. My uncle Cardinal Roger and Chief Judge Seus are the 2 main controllers, and the internal competition is very fierce. Cardinal Birmingham is the next faction under Pusmeer. Both Solanton and the dead Mana belong to this faction. In recent years, the power has expanded extremely fast. Lastly, Cardinal Gralin is under the Holy Lady Faction. Compared with other factions, the Holy Lady Faction is more low-key... Finally, I have to mention your teacher Parsali. Sir Parsali is a true paladin who adheres to the creed of loyalty to the light and guards justice. He is known for his justice and strictness. However, it is precisely because he is too obsessed with the creed and not adaptive, he has offended everyone in almost every faction, so his situation is not easy. With your talents, you should know which faction is most suitable."

"Great, I believe that the Holy Lady will be very happy to see such a talent with such potential joining us. Let me remind you a bit, despite the low-key attitude of the Holy Lady Faction, Sir Cherub Raphael behind us is a wise angel who is willing to be lonely."

### Simple

The White Cliff had 3 major factions: the pope and the 2 chief archbishops were the representatives of the 3 factions which corresponded to the 3 archangels under the Light God.

* Behind the Glorious Pope Vantis was Chief Archangel Michael as the highest leader of the Holy Church. It was also the most powerful faction. The 2 most powerful assistants under his command were Cardinal Roger and Chief Judge Seus.
* Behind Archbishop Pusmeer was Seraph Gabriel. Birmingham, 1 of the 3 major Cardinals, belonged to this faction.
* Another archbishop was the Holy Light Lady Eudora; Cherub Raphael was behind her. 1 of the 3 Cardinals, Gralin, belonged to this faction.

There were plenty of open and secret struggles between the 3 factions, but they always maintained a delicate balance like the 3 basic pivot points supporting the church. Even if there were changes, the main entity could always remain stable.

## Holy Apprentices

The holy apprentice was a sacred believer directly under the 3 archangels and had been recognized by the 3 archangels. [Body of Light Blessing] was the most basic condition. Every holy apprentice had special abilities and combat power with the corresponding [Armor of Faith]. The level below the holy apprentice was the holy envoy.

The Holy Apprentices were different from archbishop and cardinal; they were the strongest guardians of the church who specialized in combat. If the Light Knights were low level fighters, the Divinity Temple Knight and Tribunal were intermediate level fighters, then the holy apprentice was a high level fighter. No matter if it was combat power or combat experience, they were top-notch. They each had their own talents. Only top figures such as Paladin Captain Parsali and Chief Judge Seus could be compared with them.

The name of 12 holy apprentices corresponded to the 12 zodiacs. In fact, there were more than 12 holy apprentices, but those who could have the zodiac title were definitely the top holy apprentices.
