Since Duanmu Huai had already guessed it, the Old Pope stopped pretending and laid his cards on the table. In fact, the notion of the Creator God summoning them was utterly nonsense, just as Duanmu Huai had said earlier. With the seal of the Demon King released, the Demon Clan led by demons launched a massive attack, and the Angels were late to assist. The Old Pope had somewhat guessed their intentions.
But what could he do?
As a religious leader of this world, would he go out and tell others, "The Deity has abandoned us, even plans to kill us all to eliminate the Demon Clan, let's go home and wait for death"?
That was certainly impossible.
Luckily, during the previous eternal battle that sealed the Seven Demon Kings, the gods had summoned heroes from an Isekai world. So, he resorted to repeating the ritual from back then — of course, outwardly claiming it was the Deity's mandate.
