Somebody Stop the Pope offers a refreshing take on the isekai and supernatural genres by blending religious themes with strategic challenges. The story follows the protagonist, who returns to Earth after saving the world from destruction, only to face a new trial: securing a critical number of believers within a limited timeframe.
The protagonist’s unique position as both a religious leader and a strategic figure creates a dynamic tension throughout the story. The moral and psychological weight of influencing others’ faith while navigating political and supernatural opposition adds depth to the narrative.
What sets this story apart is its balance of humor and high-stakes conflict. The protagonist’s dry wit contrasts with the intensity of his mission, providing comic relief without diminishing the gravity of the story’s core themes. The strategic aspect of gathering believers and managing the influence of faith introduces a game-like structure that keeps the pacing tight and engaging.
The supporting characters are well-developed, with complex motivations and conflicting loyalties that reflect the broader power struggles within the world. The artwork reinforces the tone of the story, with detailed expressions and dynamic action sequences enhancing the emotional impact.
Plot of Somebody Stop the Pope

After spending ten years saving the world from annihilation, the protagonist, once the Pope, finally returns to Earth, hoping for peace. However, his reprieve is short-lived when a system message appears, warning him that he must reach a required number of believers within 90 days — or face a catastrophic reset.
Faced with the impossible task of spreading the word of God in a modern world filled with skepticism and conflict, the protagonist sets out to rebuild his influence. Drawing on his past experience as both a spiritual and military leader, he begins to gather followers through acts of divine power and strategic persuasion.
The protagonist’s mission quickly attracts the attention of both human and supernatural forces. Political factions seek to exploit his growing influence, while demonic entities attempt to undermine his authority. His ability to balance faith and strategy becomes critical as the countdown to the system reset looms closer.
In Chapter 33, the protagonist is expected to confront a powerful antagonist who threatens to derail his efforts to gather believers. A mysterious figure offering unexpected assistance may hold the key to overcoming this challenge — but their true intentions remain unclear. As the deadline approaches, the protagonist must navigate betrayal, spiritual conflict, and the limits of human faith to fulfill his mission.
