325. Gap (1)
Celestials.
A religious group that has been influential all over the world at some point.
Those who belonged to it were composed of strong people who spread their names widely as hunters or challengers, respectively.
As if it had to be like this from the beginning, the appearance of the strong who went into the teachings of the Tensingyo.
Contrary to popular belief, the members of the Celestial Church, who have nothing in common except for their skills, did not enter there by their own will.
That would be the case too…
[You’re here, apostle. ]
Everyone has no choice but to submit to a monster that has reached the position of god.
“…yes. teacher Akiyoshi Yuuta, the apostle of the Celestial Church, has arrived.”
Akiyoshi Yuuta.
A tower challenger and a promising genius who was once pointed out as Japan’s next-generation powerhouse.
However, there was nowhere to be seen of the confidence of the past when he prostrated himself in sky-blue apparel like a cultist.
“…I took care of everything related to Han Seong-yoon as you commanded.”
An underground altar where not even a handful of light can enter.
The figure of Yuuta Akiyoshi as he bowed to the person sitting on the other side was dotted with awe and despair.
However, Akiyoshi Yuuta did not find that humiliating.
no.
To be more precise, he was just glad that he could survive by worshiping the monster in front of him.
‘…As expected, that person is like the sky that no one can win.’
It was worth it.
Unlike idiots like Eric or Zhang Wei, Akiyoshi Yuuta had a shallow sense of the leader’s power.
Was it because he was selected as an apostle because he received divine power from the head of the Celestial Church?
Before he knew it, Akiyoshi Yuuta was able to sense to some extent the power of the monster in front of him.
Already in his eyes, the power of the head of the Catholic Church is not just a woman, but like a kind of living natural disaster in contact with providence.
Everything he had accumulated so far was at the level of disappearing at the touch of her hand.
And that living fortune looked down at Akiyoshi Yuuta with a benevolent eye smile as if satisfied.
[Whoops. Good job. Yuuta. Certainly you are the most useful here. I was disappointed because there are only so many bad things on Earth. ]
“…that is too much to say.”
[With this, when Han Seong-yoon returns, no one will make him an object of faith. ]
“…probably.”
At that, the head of the Tenshinkyo church nodded and his eyes twinkled.
Like a star shining in the night sky, a divine twinkle arose in her eyes.
A form of noble light, as if the starlight over there was extracted and embedded.
However, contrary to the glitter of that noble divinity, the corners of the mouth of the priest of the Celestial Church drew an infinitely obscene laugh.
[All the power of the Godhead comes from faith. ]
That, too, was a laugh of infinitely thick malice.
[After all, Han Seong-yoon is just a minor level deity, so if you destroy all the faith on Earth, you won’t be able to use your strength. ]
Tuk-tuk.
[You said you were busy climbing the tower, right? insignificantly. Sungyoon Han. It will most likely feel powerless and return to Earth belatedly. ]
The head of the Celestial Church tapped the armrest with his fingers as if excited, and continued talking.
[ okay. And after returning belatedly, like a dog, he will be subordinate to the original woman. Whoops. I’m so looking forward to that time. ]
An expression like a child who is excited about receiving a present on his birthday.
[Even though he’s a mistress who hasn’t lived even a hundred years, it’s probably worth making her a cherished apostle…]
But that joy was far from childlike innocence.
Her intention was to seize Han Seong-yoon, intimidate her, and make her her servant.
The head of the Celestial Church smiled in low anticipation and looked down, eyes clouded with desire.
[…Ah, come to think of it, how did the convocation of challengers from all over the world go? ]
“…I have already prepared a place for that too. Many strong people from all over the world will gather around David Taylor, the great mage in London.”
[Then, with this, the preparations for the grand precept are over. ]
“That’s right.”
The moment when the head of the Catholic Church raised his hand as if he knew, and issued a congratulatory order.
[ i get it. If the place is ready, the original woman will go to make those miscellaneous things her servants. So don’t worry and continue your preparations for the Great Gye. ]
Suddenly, her eyes had a red aura of murderous intent.
“The god of the sky smiles with anticipation as he thinks of conquering the earth.
” ]
***
Although there was a slight commotion, the relationship with the Celestial Church was quickly resolved.
“…Ha, you don’t have to worry as we will take care of the traces of the Celestial Church related to challenger Han Seong-yoon.”
It was worth it.
After I finished talking with Eric, Kim Ik-chul, the representative of the Seoul Hunter Association, said that.
Is it because of the overwhelming difference in class he showed against Zhang Wei before?
There was a slight sense of awe, anxiety, and nervousness in him.
It is also at a very deep level.
‘In fact, it’s close to the level of openly thinking of it as a monster.’
It wasn’t too strange.
Divine power is an ability that goes beyond common sense, unlike the magical power that originally existed.
Even if you have mastered that power beyond common sense to the level of an ancient god, you won’t feel like a human being even if you are a tolerable challenger.
‘Well, I don’t think I have to refuse to do what I should have done anyway.’
But now I’m used to being treated like this, so I didn’t really care.
I just feel comfortable when someone else does what I have to do.
In fact, the processing of the work was concluded very neatly.
But is it not so visible in the eyes of others?
“…Seongyun-san.”
Lee Ha-yeon, who arrived late at the meeting, asked in a bewildered manner.
“What the hell is this…?”
She looked at the smashed marble floor, then saw the place where Zhang Wei had fallen.
Could it be that the slight(?) kick in the head at that time was more powerful than I thought?
Zhang Wei was still drooling and unable to regain his senses.
“…Turn it off.”
Zhang Wei only moaned feebly as if he were still alive.
However, you could tell just by looking at its appearance that it was not in very good condition.
And Lee Ha-yeon, who saw that, said with a pale expression as if she was anxious.
“You didn’t mean to kill people in a place like this…?”
“No way. I just fainted lightly. maybe.”
“Maybe…”
“At least he wouldn’t be dead.”
If you’re unlucky, you could have permanent brain dysfunction….
Still, wouldn’t it be a neat price to pay for the world’s strongest?
At least the fact that he didn’t cut his lifeline was enough.
And when he said that fact briefly, Lee Ha-yeon nodded as if he understood to some extent and smiled bitterly.
“But… Anyway, with this, the case of the Celestial Church is settled.”
“….”
“The Cheonshinkyo will not be able to use Seongyoon’s name as they please.”
“It should be, but I can’t say it’s over.”
However, I had no choice but to shake my head and deny Lee Ha-yeon’s words.
“Perhaps the Celestial Church will do annoying things to the end.”
It was worth it.
The situation would probably be much more complicated than this if we were to say that he had risen to the position of a formal deity, as the head of the Catholic Church thought.
At the very least, if I don’t fix the situation, it will most likely be the worst.
So, I felt the need to address this situation myself before the situation on Earth went to the worst.
“And the Celestial Church itself is kind of like a trap in the first place.”
Even more than anything, I couldn’t back down at the point where I read the intention of the Protestant Church.
If the head of the Celestial Church really did what I thought, it would be a kind of lure.
It must also be intended to bring me back to this earth and subdue me.
Despite noticing that fact, he had no intention of backing down.
However, perhaps because it had nothing to do with the godhead, Lee Ha-yeon tilted her head as if she was confused and expressed her doubts.
“What the hell is that…?”
But I had no intention of explaining everything to her here.
“…I don’t think I can explain it here yet.”
There are too many eyes in this place to bring up the story of the godhead.
“Ah… that’s right too. I understood.”
And Lee Ha-yeon nodded, as if she had noticed it roughly.
“Then let’s continue the conversation outside…”
“No. It would be better to see it with your own two eyes.”
“…?”
“It’s a guess, but if I go my way, it looks like something big will happen soon.”
But even so, there was no need to explain right away.
“Let’s go to London for now.”
After all, it won’t be long before she can understand this.
“Maybe we can finish everything there.”
That’s very certain.
***
An old abandoned building in London.
Due to the late hours, challengers from all over the world were convened in a place where not even a little light penetrated.
In fact, there were few people who did not attend even after being invited to this place, despite the fact that it will not be officially recorded.
“With this, is it possible to see the face of the handsome head of the Celestial Church now?”
It was worth it.
This was an unofficial meeting to warn the head of the Tenshinkyo religion.
That’s also true, because vicious clairvoyants from all over the world set up and provoked them.
In fact, it is safe to say that this seat, led by David Taylor, was to give a warning to the Catholic Church leaders to stop the missionary activities that did not harm them.
“Even if it’s not the case, I want to throw it all down soon because of that rotten bastard.”
Xiaoling Chen.
A woman who is considered the best among challengers from China.
A woman with nervous eyes, sitting on one of the discarded furniture in the abandoned building, said so.
And, as if using her words as a starting point, the challengers located here and there moved their lips.
“…maybe. An apostle of the Celestial Church. It must have been because he said that the head of the Celestial Church was coming.”
David Taylor nodded as soon as Katherine Bennet said that, stroking her red hair.
“…Actually, the head of the Celestial Church is coming to this place to preach a mission that has never been done. So you don’t have to think that you won’t come.”
And the challengers who listened silently complained one by one.
“Rotten! Because of those bastards, the guys in my guild transferred to the Celestial Church! Do you know how big the damage to the guild is?”
“That’s it, wouldn’t it be the same either way? Those bastards of the Chonshinkyo believe in Han Seong-yoon and do all sorts of bullshit.”
“no. In the first place, there’s no way that Han Seong-yoon was a real heavenly believer. It’s just that those crazy bastards are playing tricks with Han Seong-yoon, who doesn’t even exist.”
Soon, the challengers gnashed their teeth and let their dissatisfaction flow like lava.
jerk jerk.
“—No, no. That’s not a lie.”
Suddenly, a man with a gloomy face appeared from somewhere in the dark of the abandoned building.
“Anyway, Han Seong-yoon’s challenger will join the Tenshinkyo soon…”
Akiyoshi Yuuta, who is called the official Tenshinkyo priest, appeared and said that.
“Challenger Han Seong-yoon is definitely our servant who will belong to the Celestial Church…”
But at the same time his words continued, Chen Xiaoling smirked in anger.
“Don’t be mean. Even if Han Seong-yoon has no idea, will he be dyed by pseudos like you? The worms…”
And it was Catherine Bennett no different.
“…What do you say you know about Sungyoon? If there were people like you, I wouldn’t have even made a sound.”
As Katherine Bennet said that with an angry look in her eyes, the others added one word at a time.
“Are you boasting that you only have a few ranker level challengers?”
“hot! The border will be able to do it even if it is not Han Sung -yoon! ”
“Does your brain function have some kind of disorder? If that’s the case, I might split the head and fix it.”
and.
“That is foolish.”
The moment when Yuuta Akiyoshi tore the corner of his mouth as if he was laughing at him.
“—but that’s fine.”
Just like that, the light of the sky shimmered behind him, and the space there widened.
“…It would be nice to see it with your own eyes. What kind of power does the god of heaven, the founder of the Tenshinkyo religion, have?”
And in line with that, a beauty with sky-blue hair appeared from behind Yuuta Akiyoshi.
The appearance of sparkling eyes as if all the starlight in the night sky was compressed.
Even that was not enough, each challenger vomited in astonishment at the divinity flowing from her.
But…
“What is this…”
[ Nasty. ]
That was only for a moment.
“The god of the sky feels uncomfortable with the things standing there.”
Gwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa companies of the heavenly world?
“Kuk-!”
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
“Cheer up! What is this!”
In an instant, the overwhelming power crushed the space and the challengers were slammed to the floor.
[Is it only this much? ]
As soon as he saw that figure, the god of the sky, the head of the Celestial Church, gave a fishy smile.
[Be foolish. ]
Deed deed deed deed-!
Soon, the force that presses the space becomes stronger and no one can make a sound.
[Yes, at least this looks good. ]
Only then did the god of the sky begin to speak as if he liked it.
[Those who have rejected the grace of the original woman, you should know that you are blessed. ]
She continued as if she were a shepherd leading the lambs.
[ You couldn’t even obey the great grace, but the original girl broke it herself. ]
And.
[You won’t be so dissatisfied. Even if you don’t understand it yet, when the time comes, you will understand the natural law. Your submission will be rewarded one day. ]
Soon, the god of the sky stretched out both arms as if giving a great speech and continued speaking.
[The original woman… will become the one and only immortal ruler of this earth. And to become an ancient deity and to reward lambs like you— ]
Suddenly, I heard a voice mixed with fishy laughter from nowhere.
[Ancient deity? ]
And.
[Something like you? ]
Soon, the moment the god of the sky raised his pupils up following the origin of the voice.
[ uh…? ]
Her pupils vibrated violently, like an earthquake.
[What is this… ]
He must be…
[God ancient deity…? ]
It was because the space in the ceiling had been torn open and someone was looking down at her through the gap.
[Come to think of it…]
And the man who was seated on the other side smiled and said.
[You’ve done a lot of fun things on Earth so far. ]
It’s nothing else…
“I look down at the god in the sky as if the god of transcendence and the god of death are not the same.
” Heavenly God.]
It was Han Seong-yoon.
