I, The Dragon Overlord

"Hurry up, raise the speed and get all the equipment on board!"

"Double-check the equipment; we are going to broadcast live to the entire nation!"

"This live broadcast must be flawless. Remember the coverage when the Valkyrie appeared in Stockholm, Sweden? This time, we must match that level and even do better."

"Equipment check completed? Good, then let's depart!"

At the national television station of China, the station manager personally conducted equipment checks. After finishing these, he, along with the staff and vehicles, headed to the airport.

"Station Manager, although the pope’s visit is significant, is it necessary to make such a big fuss?"

In the vehicle, a senior journalist, relying on good relations with the station manager, dared to speak up.

Others also listened attentively, wondering why such extensive preparations were required this time.

Not long ago, the Vatican City's Catholic Pope had sent a request to the Chinese government for an official visit, which was accepted. This news quickly became a hot topic, drawing the attention and discussion of many netizens.

This visit marked the first time a Catholic Pope had visited China in the seventy years since its establishment. Although the Pope had visited many countries in Asia before, he had never set foot in China.

As the dominant faith in Western society, the Chinese government attached great importance to the visit of the Catholic Pope. Especially in this era of mythical beings appearing on Earth, the Pope's visit was not just a matter of politics, ideology, and religion but also involved theology and the supernatural.

As one of the few sovereign nations confirmed to have extraordinary powers stationed within, the entire Christian community was under the watchful eye of governments worldwide. Everyone feared that Christianity might once again seek divine authority, leading to chaos.

Fortunately, with the liberation of modern human thought, even Christianity no longer harbored such notions from the medieval era. Countries coexisted peacefully.

It was not surprising that governments around the world were cautious. The extraordinary figures in the Catholic Church were bestowed with angelic powers by Christ himself. She was an inherently devout believer, willing to fight for religious doctrines. This was different from other countries, where governments had no command over such extraordinary individuals.

For instance, in China, there was an immortal being; in Japan, there was a Shinto priest; in England, there was the Order of Merlin with mysterious connections to the royal family as well as the Celtic Gods. Recently, a Valkyrie even appeared in Sweden. All these nations approached such powerful figures with a reverent attitude. It was absolutely impossible for them to be commanded in the same way as ordinary individuals.

The only silver lining was that these extraordinary beings seemed uninterested in secular power and had no intentions of seizing control. Harmony prevailed among them.

However, the Catholic Church was an exception. The nun endowed with angelic powers was probably the most likely to get involved in secular matters.

In the interview vehicle, the station manager took a deep breath. He surveyed the people around him with an authoritative presence that silenced everyone. Seeing the effect of his imposing demeanor, the station manager nodded slowly and said, "At this point, there's no need to conceal anything from you. Earlier, it was classified as a state secret, which is why I didn't say anything. But now, it's necessary to inform you. Besides the Catholic Pope, Sister Mirda is also on the list of visiting personnel this time."

"Wow... Is that the nun blessed by Christ himself? I heard she died and was able to come back to life."

"She’s a living miracle!"

"They say this nun helps many people every day in a church in Rome, curing any kind of terminal illness."

"Well, that doesn't seem like a big deal. Medical technology nowadays is advancing leaps and bounds, and it's all free."

"It's different. Despite recent developments in medical technology, there are still many incurable diseases, especially problems like losing arms or legs. Humans still don't have a solution. But this nun is different. She can make your severed arm regrow!"

Listening to the excited discussions of the team, the station manager, with a furrowed brow, clapped his hands, bringing instant silence to the vehicle.

He nodded in satisfaction and said, "Alright, this information has been kept secret until now, fearing intentional sabotage. Now that you know the importance of this mission, don't let me down!"

"Yes, sir!"

All the staff shouted with excitement. Having the opportunity to witness and capture footage of such extraordinary individuals, who wouldn't be thrilled?

These individuals were envying their colleagues who had the opportunity to witness the Valkyrie in Stockholm. Today, they would have the privilege of seeing an angel!

All roads from the capital airport to the residence of the visiting Catholic delegation were closed. Many armed police and officers guarded the intersections. After thorough inspections, the reporters arrived at the airport, and journalists from various countries were already prepared for the event.

At the airport's special runway, numerous high-ranking officials, usually only seen on television, were waiting. As a sovereign state, the Vatican's reception this time was akin to that of hosting the President of the United States, complete with honor guards and a military band ready at any moment.

Not long after, an aircraft from the Vatican touched down on the runway. After taxiing, it came to a stable stop in front of the honor guard. A lift vehicle quickly approached, and when the aircraft's door opened, reporters from various countries took a deep breath, preparing for the upcoming series of shots.

The military band quickly played music, and the honor guard lined up. Soon after, a middle-aged man in splendid religious robes walked out of the plane. He was none other than Pope Francis I, well-known among Christians.

The Pope himself was in his eighties, but ever since encountering Christ, he had been bestowed with miracles. Now, his body was in prime condition, looking only around forty years old.

High-ranking officials greeted him with smiles, each of them showing envy.

Longevity was the ultimate pursuit of those in power. Throughout history, many emperors had ultimately died in their quest for the elixir of immortality.

All the cameras were snapping away, and everyone present felt a subtle excitement because they knew that following the Pope, the angel would surely appear!

As expected, a nun in a religious habit followed closely behind the Pope, walking out of the cabin. The frenzy of reporters intensified, and some Catholic journalists even began devoutly bowing.

Sister Mirda had a gentle and compassionate face. Standing at the cabin door, she smiled gently at everyone, allowing the journalists to capture her image. Even before becoming an angel, during her travels to impoverished and war-torn countries to aid the unfortunate children and the poor, she had grown accustomed to such grand receptions.

At that moment, the entire airport atmosphere suddenly became stifled. Everyone felt a momentary difficulty breathing, as if a mountain had pressed down on their chests.

Panic appeared on the faces of those present. Unconsciously, they all looked toward the sky behind them. There, a man dressed in Ming Dynasty attire was leisurely walking through the air, approaching the gate!
