章 226: The Holy City

Rome, Vatican City.

Right now, in front of Saint Peter's Basilica, thousands of people were praying. It had been over a hundred days since the great pope died and it had been too long since they had entered the Sede Vacante period, which was the time where the seat of leadership was empty.

Today, among those people who were faithfully praying, there was another leader who could unite their church, which had been very much riveted by the apocalypse.

"Look, there's white smoke coming out of the chimney!"

The occurrence of white smoke coming out of Saint Peter's Basilica building signified that a new Pope had been chosen. The crowd of thousands in Saint Peter's square screamed with joy and relief. The pope's balcony door opened and a cardinal in white and red came out, introducing the newly-chosen pope.

"Habemus papam!" (We have a pope!)
