  Chapter 265 Don't Scream at Me

Jack's words made the High Sparrow's face change. He didn't expect that Jack had no intention of letting other beliefs stay.

But the High Sparrow still did not give up. He tried to test it:

"Your Majesty, 80% of the people in Westeros believe in the Seven Gods. If you force them to change their beliefs, it will only make them rebel. It would be better..."

Jack interrupted the High Sparrow directly:

"I have gathered enough food from the Free Coast.

Those who believe in the Sea God will not starve to death this winter, and those who do not believe in the Sea God will have no reason to survive this winter."

Jack's words made the High Sparrow's face change suddenly. Since ancient times, food has been the best way to control people's hearts. Obviously, Jack is not short of food!

The Church of the Seven is different. It can be said that before Cersei supported the church, it was poor and penniless. It was not until Cersei began to support the church that life became better.

But looking at the current situation, it is simply impossible to get Jack to support the Church of the Seven Gods.

"Your Majesty, the King of the Sea, no king in history has the power to forcibly change the beliefs of all living beings. This is not allowed by the gods and will make them angry!"

"Don't scream. I'll give you one glass of wine before you can evacuate the Baelor Cathedral. Otherwise, don't blame me for not warning you."

After saying that, Jack waved his right hand. The Son of Winter immediately understood what was going to happen and hurriedly followed Jack to retreat.

Jack's action left the High Sparrow in an awkward position.

For most of history, the church was on equal footing with the royal family, and even had more power than the royal family.

This situation did not change until the arrival of the Targaryen family, when the church's military power was abolished, from which the church has never recovered.

This situation continued until Cersei restored the church's armed forces.

At the same time, the intrigue with Cersei made the High Sparrow unconsciously a little drifting.

He instinctively believed that no matter whether he was the Sea Emperor or the King of the Seven Kingdoms, as long as they wanted to rule the Seven Kingdoms stably, they must maintain a certain respect for the Church of the Seven Gods.

But after talking with Jack, he found himself like a clown, and Jack, who owned dragons and giant beasts, didn't care about his reliance at all.

And Jack does have the confidence, because whether it is military strength or material reserves, Jack, who owns overseas territories, far exceeds the Church of the Seven Gods.

Just as Jack said, those who do not believe in Poseidon will die this winter, and those who believe in Poseidon will receive food aid.

Anyway, after every long night, Westeros would lose 90% of its population, and Jack could completely control everyone with food.

But the High Sparrow was unwilling to give up!

The Church had finally regained the power to build military forces under his control, so how could he give it up so easily?

The High Sparrow immediately ordered the bishops around him to gather all the believers in the Cathedral of Baelor.

The High Sparrow just didn't believe that Jack would dare to massacre the followers of the Seven in front of so many people in King's Landing.

Jack watched from a distance as more and more people gathered in the Cathedral of Baelor, and a sneer appeared on his face.

Between "weak people" and "rich people", he chose the latter.

This is unique in Westeros, where civilians are treated like livestock, to the point that many people feel that they can be threatened with the lives of civilians.

Today, Jack will let everyone know what a god who can decide the fate of a continent with just one word is!

After a glass of wine, seven thousand people had gathered in the Great Sept of Baelor, so densely packed that it looked like an ant nest.

The High Sparrow was standing on the steps in front of the cathedral, looking at Jack from afar, his eyes full of determination and madness.

Although the High Sparrow craves power, he is also a believer of the Seven Gods. He has not enjoyed any luxuries since he became the archbishop, and he has even saved many refugees.

The believers who came to the cathedral all knew why they were here, but they still came without hesitation.

Just because the Big Sparrow is their savior!

Jack watched the High Sparrow from afar, as well as the believers gathered around the Great Sept of Baelor.

If Poseidon had not embarked on the path to becoming a god, he would have been happy to keep the Church of the Seven and just abolish its military power.

But unfortunately, this is the fact, he must sweep away all beliefs in the world, especially the beliefs of the Seven Gods and the Lord of Light.

Taking advantage of the power reshuffle in Westeros, this is a good opportunity to cut the Gordian knot.

Jack only needs one long night to spread the faith in Poseidon to every corner of the two continents.

In the High Sparrow's gaze, a blue and white power of faith appeared around Jack.

Poseidon in the distance looked towards the direction of the cathedral as if he had received an order.

Poseidon hadn't made any movement since he showed up, but now he suddenly moved, and the noise he made startled everyone.

Amid the horrified and puzzled gazes of the crowd, a deep blue light appeared from Poseidon's back, as if thunder was gathering.

The atomic breath suddenly exploded and rushed straight into the Cathedral of Baelor.

Under the dazed and terrified gaze of everyone in King's Landing, the Great Sept of Baelor was razed to the ground in an instant.

The power of atomic breath is far greater than Clark Hugh's dragon flame.

When the atomic breath stopped, only a huge pit remained where the Great Cathedral of Baelor had been.

After wiping out the Great Sept of Baelor, Poseidon once again unleashed his atomic breath.

The target this time was the Red Castle. Following Jack's orders, Poseidon cut the huge rock on which the entire Red Castle sat from the road.

This extremely shocking scene is bound to be deeply engraved in the minds of everyone present.

Separating the continents is something that only gods can do!

After doing all this, Poseidon returned to the sea.

He will not be needed in the future, as the purpose of strategic intimidation has been achieved.

Over the next three days, Jack quickly took control of King's Landing.

And after receiving the letter of allegiance from the Riverlands, the imprisoned Duke of Mace swore allegiance to Jack.
