Black Vatican

The Black Vatican, or Black Church in some variations, is a cult and terrorist organization obsessed with inflicting sadistic deaths upon people. They are a great threat to the world's security, their sphere of influence is spread all over the world, and there are numerous disasters in all parts of the world caused by them.

Mo Fan becomes the greatest stumbling block of the Black Vatican as he constantly thwarts the plans of the the Black Vatican. He becomes the first person to ever capture a Red Cardinal. His presence is regarded as a thorn in the side of the Black Vatican and they regard him as high on their kill list.

In each situation where Mo Fan is involved with destroying the plans of the Black Vatican, he gains a lot of strength. This can be seen by his achievement in each disaster: The organizational structure is summarized as follows:
 * Catastrophe of Bo: Mo Fan is only a Novice Tier mage and manages not only to survive the ordeal, but he manages to save many people along with his sister, Xin Xia. He also assists the military by leading them to the source of the monsters located at the girls high school.
 * Disaster at the Ancient Capital: Although a lot of people die, Mo Fan plays an integral part of preventing the undead hordes from slaughtering the entire population and destroying the city. He fights the Supreme Monarch level beasts which no other mage could even battle. Because of his deeds, the city is saved and the majority of the population survive.
 * Northern Xinjiang Incident: Mo Fan, using the power of demonization, defeats the main generals of Khufu and battles toe to toe with the Supreme Monarch level Sphinx. He not only wipes out thousands of Black Vatican members, but captures the Red Cardinal Leng Jue alive.
 * War of the Andean Federation: Mo Fan acts preemptively for the first time and manages to prevent a disaster at the Ojos University. Although the war erupts, this was inevitable regardless of the intervention of the Black Vatican. However, Mo Fan managed to obtain valuable information about the identities of members of Black Vatican hidden undercover. He also manages to prevent similar disasters caused by Salan by killing a key member involved with the disasters.
 * The Attack on the Parthenon. Salan had co-opted the members of the exiled Tours clan to release the Golden titan that they had captured. This in turn gave Xin Xia the evidence she needed to unmask Pamish

White Pope/Supreme Pontiff
The Pope is the leader of the entire Black Vatican organization. No one knows his true identity except for the Red Cardinal Leng Jue and Salan. For some undisclosed reason he wishes to see Salan dead.

This was explained in later chapters that Salan had killed many other black Vatican members that followed him also bringing some red Cardinals in her control.

However, he was claimed to be killed by Salan (who is the only person that knows the pope's real identity) so no one currently knows who the pope really is or was.

The identity of the White Pope was revealed to be Pamish, the temple mother of the Pantheon

Red Cardinals:
There are 7 total Red Cardinals, who usually operate in different regions of the world. The Red Cardinals only answer to the Pope and do not often coordinate with each other unless it is in their own interests.


 * 1) Salan: The mastermind behind the Catastrophe of Bo, the Disaster of the Ancient Capital and the Uprising in the war between the Andes Federation and the Brown Rebels. Mo Fan's greatest enemy. Initially had a foothold in China until driven out by Mo Fan. She has 3 Generals who are the highest officers of her following:


 * 1) Leng Jue: The mastermind behind the Massacre of the Mediterranean and the failed attempt to summon the The Great Pyramid of Giza (Khufu's pyramid) and the undead army of Khufu to cause disaster at Northern Xinjiang. This plan is squashed by the combined efforts of Mo Fan, Zhang Xiao Hou and Zhao Man Yan.


 * 1) Brazilian Red Cardinal a.k.a Shura: He was known for diverting an entire army into a massive curse field 20 years ago and killing them all, but their ghosts still roam and terrorize the amazon and will for another 30 years. Salan revealed his location secretly to the holy court by feeding the Intel to the Casa family through the extradition first. His capture was used to break Cold Jue out of prison.


 * 1) Nine Infants: He is the original red cardinal of china, real name Nan Shouba, high ranking member of the imperial palace of China. After Salan caused the attack on Xi'an, Nine infants decided to lay low for a while until Salan was routed from China. Eventually he found a way to collude with the Kraken in order to hunt down the Joint Chief of the Chinese military.

Low Ranking Members
Majority of members in this rank are considered pure fanatics who would not hesitate to sacrifice themselves for the church. Considered as lackeys by most ranked Blue Deacons and above, the strong disparities in the rank enforce submission and prevent any from resisting commands or attacks by those higher regardless of their opinions.
