Archmage Transcending Through Regression Chapter 425

The great mage who transcends by returning Episode 53

Where is this place and who am I.

It was the first thought that came to Ariandel’s mind when he saw ‘it’.

The time is this morning.

She is briefed on most of the events that take place in the kingdom.

Naturally, it had been a long time since she also obtained information that a religion based on the motif of ‘Mikhail the Hero’ was prevalent in the country.

I just couldn’t figure out how to handle this, so I wasn’t taking any action.

If it was the past where God existed, it would not be strange if the Holy Knights were dispatched for blasphemy.

But now the world has changed. With the extinction of God, the direction of ‘religion’ has changed considerably.

It is no longer possible to arbitrarily interfere and oppress people’s beliefs as before.

Of course, Ariandel didn’t think much of it either.

Does everyone have something to believe in?

There are various values, but there is no reason to force them.

…I thought so.

“crazy.”

until you see this.

For a moment, I was confused whether what I was seeing was really real.

Could this be a dream

An extremely strange and bizarre dream.

“Heroes are the best! Best warrior!”

“everyone! If you live rightly without being ashamed of yourself, beautiful Michael will come to greet you after death!”

“Believe it!”

Ariandel felt dizzy at the voices coming from all directions.

Is it a natural rejection?

I feel like I’ve seen something I shouldn’t have seen.

But in front of your eyes is the reality.

Members from outside, including the followers of the Church, roar and chant the name of ‘Michael’.

‘It’s just Mikhail.’

Of course, for Ariandel, looking at Amman, it is Mikhail.

It was because the characteristics of the beautiful girl next to the magician who was preaching that teaching were very similar to him.

“I didn’t know when I was just watching and hearing it, but I can’t believe it was this kind of religion.”

When I just watched and heard it, I recognized that Mikhail was a religion that held sacred.

But it seems it wasn’t.

what to say about this

twisted

It’s to the point where I think that if I leave it as it is, it will really change into ‘something’ that can’t be undone.

Anyway.

“What should I do with that….”

I feel like I need to do something about it, but I’m not sure how to go about solving this problem.

It was a time when I was so worried.

“Oh oh…!”

Could it be that the wizard who was preaching his testimony suddenly turned his head toward Ariandel?

“Aren’t you a saintess!”

“…Do you know me?”

“Hehe, in this religion, where is there anyone who does not know the benevolent and sublime saintess? It is an honour!”

Saying so, the wizard passed through the people and arrived in front of Ariandel. Then, in a respectful manner, he bowed his head to Ariandel.

“My name is Tays, who is currently acting as an agent of the Church of Michael.”

“…deputy? It sounds like a very ambiguous title.”

“Hehe Originally, the headmaster was supposed to be there, but due to an unfortunate accident in the Walpurgis estate….”

As if tears were blocking his eyes, Thays shook his head slowly, covering his eyes with the palm of his hand.

Anyway, it seems that the current situation of the Church of Michael is that there is no religious leader or anything.

“Is there any meaning to that religion?”

“We thought so too at first. But when I think about it, don’t religion necessarily need a master?”

With a look of great realization, Thayes pointed to the church members cheering for Michael and said.

“Wouldn’t each of the church members united around ‘Michael’ be called faith and religion?”

“hmm….”

The words are very smooth.

Really, the words are very slick, but the problem is that the religion in front of us is a criminal group that does not properly protect portrait rights.

“Everyone understands well. First of all, you must understand that this ‘Michaelic Church’ is a religion that was created without permission from the hero, right?”

“Mmm.”

At those words, Thays drools and shows a troubled expression.

“I certainly didn’t get permission from the hero, but….”

“So what?”

“First of all, we are not of the ‘Michael’ church, but of the ‘Michael’ church… ….”

“Oh, don’t give a damn.”

You’re obfuscating the point by saying something that no dog will listen to.

Ariandel quietly brought out in front of him the temper he had been holding on to his waist. Actually, it’s more like a mace than a temper, but… ….

Anyway.

“Even if you don’t know about other religions, it is not permitted to use the portrait rights of the hero without permission.”

“I heard that the Catholic Church now allows freedom of religion….”

“Portrait rights are well protected even in empires.”

Of course, in Ariandel’s experience, quite a few people don’t listen to what they say.

She quietly put her temper in front of Thayce’s eyes.

“If you continue to ignore the law and act recklessly like this, I have no choice but to intervene.”

“Uh um….”

Tays shook his head with an even more troubled expression.

I don’t know what the hell the offender is so troubled about, but he’s doing it anyway.

Originally, he would have broken his head right away.

But, like anyone else, hasn’t Ariandel taken great care of his recent drastic actions?

‘Let’s wait. If you endure, peace will come.’

Ariandel smiled and hoped that Thays would make the right choice.

I hope the blood won’t cling to his temper that he has wiped out.

And did this world grant her wish?

“I can’t help it…There is none.”

Thayes shook his head with a sorrowful expression and said.

did you really listen?

Ariandel is relieved and tries to lower his temper because he thinks things will be solved easily… ….

“Then try to do it in a slightly different direction….”

“…yes?”

“We felt a bit burdened about doing this without the hero’s permission.”

Theis continued.

“But when I think about it, I wonder if this is what happens because the object of worship is ‘one’, and the image overlaps with the hero.”

“No, that’s not it.”

“Yes that’s right.”

“Are you not listening to me?”

No matter what Ariandel said, Thays had already spread his arms wide, immersed in his own world.

“So after thinking about it, I finally came to a conclusion! If one infringes the right of portrait, if you mix the two, wouldn’t that be the realm of creation… …!”

“…what?”

what kind of crazy is this

A plan that I couldn’t even guess what the hell he was thinking was coming out of his mouth.

“For example, giving A a different personality and adding a new relationship to B. Then that’s… …It cannot be seen as A.”

“No, I can see it.”

Of course, Thays wasn’t listening to Ariandel anymore.

He was just presenting his novel ideas with his burning eyes.

“Ah yes! If you add the relationship with the person who competed together as a warrior… …!”

At that moment, Ariandel felt an indescribable uneasiness.

And a sound that satisfies her anxiety wonderfully.

“Our symbol! The setting that ‘Michael’ and ‘Zeke’ are twins… ….”

Kwajik!

Giving up on hearing more, she raised her temper and slammed Thays’s head down.

“Oh, that’s over the line.”

I skipped a bit, really.

* * *

It was a tough fight.

On the way to Gyo-guk, it was a rough territory, but 15.

And among them, as many as 12 territories were infected with the hateful religion called ‘Michaelism’.

What a terrible reality.

“In the end, I have no choice but to step out to purify this world.”

Oh, it’s a very sad reality.

Even though I annihilated the demons and brought peace, my work in the end does not disappear.

“Guys, let’s do our best.”

I lamented the cruel fact and told the three who were following me.

“….”

there is no answer.

Turning my head slightly, I looked in the direction of the three, and it was very spectacle.

“Uhhhh….”

The set lay face down on my shoulder and passed out.

Lian and Aileen were standing up and down, looking like they were about to collapse at any moment.

The guys who are called the world’s best swordsmen are like this… ….

“Wake. It is gradually becoming a religious state.”

“Ughhh…bearded… …female…Woo Woo Woo… ….”

Lian didn’t respond to my words and muttered those words while trembling.

The same goes for Eileen.

“I don’t want to see any more…This…this is not… …!”

In the process of purifying the territories where the disease called the ‘Michael Church’ had spread, these three had no choice but to suffer a serious psychological blow.

In fact, I was also hit, but the blows these three suffered were at a level that I couldn’t even compare.

Lian, who had been struggling for so long, looked at me with exhausted eyes.

“please…did it have to be like this Even if you were punished, there were other means. please…definitely do that… ….”

“That was all.”

Even if you think about it, that’s the only solution that comes to mind.

“Now you should have known the true nature of the ‘Michael’ that the Church of Michael calls out so much for. That’s good.”

“Uh um….”

Is that wrong?

Ryan tilted his head at my words with a roughly like expression.

Anyway.

The believers of the ‘Michaelic Church’ who were caught up in my impromptu gender reversal magic were quickly purified.

After they became like that, they trudged back home with an expression that they had lost something important, as if they realized something.

Of course, Lian and Aileen, who were watching the scene, had similar expressions, but it was a necessary sacrifice.

Anyway, after going through many things, we finally had our destination in front of us.

“Isn’t it just a matter of ignoring it and teleporting to the kingdom….”

“I wouldn’t know if I didn’t know. I realized that such a dog exists, but can I ignore it?”

I have to risk my all to eradicate it before it spreads further.

Fortunately, it seems that the territories were all except for the Gyo-guk, the place where the damn pseudosense spread.

Yes.

“Now, if you solve the problem in the church, you won’t see that pseudonym anymore.”

[…] …I hope so.]

Seth limply on his shoulder said weakly.

[By the way, Mikhail, you don’t seem to have forgotten your purpose… …?]

“Why?”

[He said he was going to the church for the purpose of marriage proposal. Then that… …Has the situation become more complicated?]

“….”

Hit the painfully painful part.

What I’ve been trying to ignore… ….

“Somehow…It will work.”

[Honestly, I have no idea how rampant the cult must have been.]

That’s right.

I really can’t get a feel for it.

Originally, I was going to visit Kyoguk with memories from the past and full of emotions.

The atmosphere is there and it’s good.

But I didn’t know that such a large-scale plague would spread across the continent.

[Honestly, wouldn’t Ariandel have already confirmed the pseudo-religion?]

“…I guess so.”

I wish it wasn’t like that, but honestly, it doesn’t make much sense that Ariandel isn’t paying attention.

He said as he trudged toward the church.

“Go for it….”

Will it work somehow… ….
