The Beginning of Destruction (3)
A petite woman wearing a hood arrived at the square overlooking the Holy See.
Candler Eden.
She, whose name was the name of an ancient city, was Jora who practiced love.
Eden took off her hood and looked at the top of the tower that seemed to pierce the sky.
‘Not over there.’ She slowly lowered her gaze, passing through the entrance of the Holy See and savoring the invisible ground.
‘underground.’
It was so faint that you wouldn’t notice it unless you concentrated, but there was a distinct smell of evil in the air.
‘I felt right. But why is such an aura lurking in the Vatican?’
After listening to Habitz’s heart through “Nemesis,” Eden suffered from nightmares.
Then one day, while chasing demons with Dante, he heard a strange rumor.
‘Satanism.’
The founder was Giyorgi, and surprisingly, he was a demon made up of emotions abandoned by Yahweh.
After breaking up with Dante, she researched Satanism, and following the energy of evil, she arrived at this place.
“The Holy See.”
Ramicism upholds the will of goodness.
The Holy Knights made a remarkable contribution in the war against the demons, and the priests took care of those in need.
Leaving behind countless questions, Eden put on her hood.
‘I will see it with my own eyes.’
Satanism, the spiritual foundation of Satan, will be destroyed and we will escape from this terrible nightmare.
‘Oh my god.’
She kissed the cross pendant within the circular frame and headed to the Vatican.
‘Please protect me.’
“This is the place.”
The high priest who guided Sirone and his group to the front of the Pope’s office still had an uncomfortable expression on his face.
‘What on earth are you going to do?’ The three major religions in the world are Ramicism, Yorgism, and Terraphos.
‘The Church of Yor did not grow its organization, and the Church of Terraphos fell along with the Holy See of Terraphos. A small number of extremists cause terrorism, but it is not at a dangerous level.’
Only Lamigyo was strong in these turbulent times.
‘Isn’t this proof that God Crea created the universe? But at some point…
the name Yahweh began to be heard, and the rumor spread so quickly that it was impossible to stop.
‘I should have nipped it in the bud from the beginning.’ Once the world leader is decided in this temple, the Pope of the Lami Church will notarize it.
‘An opportunity to become the world’s only religion.’
Yahweh came to the Vatican just as the unprecedented achievement was just around the corner.
“I repeat, please act reverently in front of the Pope. “If you speak carelessly because you believe in a different god, you will act in accordance with Lamish doctrine.”
Nade was furious.
“joy! Anyway, they are also Paladins
O…”
“Nade.”
Sirone stopped him.
“all right. It will be a short conversation. “Once I get the answer I want, I will quietly return.”
The high priest was even more anxious.
‘What kind of answer do you expect to hear?’
Since loitering in front of the Pope’s office wasn’t a good sight, he knocked politely.
“The Pope’s guest has arrived.”
“Please stop by.”
Following the deep voice, the door opened and I saw Constantine with a good-natured expression.
Shirone entered confidently, and a wary Iruki and a nervous Nade lined up on his left and right.
“Hmm.”
Constantine, who had been looking at Sirone for a while, smiled.
“You are the benevolent Yahweh of the times. “I heard rumors, but in person, you look much younger.”
“I too have heard of your reputation. You helped me a lot during the Demon War. Thank you.”
Konstantin offered me a seat.
“Is there even something to be thankful for? It’s just a shame compared to what you’ve done. “Sit down.”
Sirone sat down on a chair and thought.
‘I don’t think he has a desire for fame. Well… I’ve been far from that since I was young.’
I knew about his days as a young adult through Omega.
‘Pope of Power:
In fact, Constantine’s divine power was strong enough to compete for supremacy even within the Vatican.
‘I am not a person who will be swayed by evil energy. But why does this place smell…’
Is it the smell of Satan?
“Yes, Yahweh.”
The Pope opened his mouth.
“You must have wanted to see me before the temple opened. What is it like? “Am I not up to your standards?”
“You are not qualified to evaluate others. “I just have a question.”
“is it? “It’s a little disappointing.”
Since I had lived my entire life without a single trace of shame, Sirone’s answer was rather disappointing.
“Okay, ask me anything. “As you know, we have to leave for the temple soon.”
“What are you hiding?” The Pope kept his mouth shut in response to the direct question, but his expression did not waver
. “Hmm. What are you hiding? What am I to you? Let’s see… what is he hiding?”
The Pope, who was walking around the room, looked back at Sirone.
“When I was young, I broke my best friend’s toy. I couldn’t tell the truth. Oh, I see. It was my teenage years. I had a crush on the girl next door. It’s not something I would do as a servant of God, but I have had corrupt thoughts. And…
“It doesn’t matter.”
Sirone said.
“All humans are swayed by desire.
“What I want to hear is more fundamental issues.”
“I don’t know. “Can you explain?”
“Inside the castle.”
The Pope’s eyebrows twitched.
“Martyrdom code. “I heard that the Holy Knights of the Lami Church receive training from a very young age.”
Constantine’s face distorted.
“I have tried to understand you, O LORD. So why do you want to discuss doctrine?”
“I’m not arguing, I’m asking. Don’t you think it’s wrong? “You clearly remember breaking your friend’s toy when you were little, but why
don’t you say anything about it?”
“Because I didn’t do anything wrong.”
Constantine was adamant.
“The Lami Church has fought against evil. Paladins are the ones at the forefront. What’s wrong with training them? “I don’t know if you’ve ever asked a single question, but as the Pope of the Lami religion, I have no questions about the doctrine.”
“Then I can’t acknowledge Ramicism either.”
As the Pope’s face became more crumpled, the furniture shook as if an earthquake had occurred.
‘ tremendous.’
Although it is originally an energy that fights against evil, it has the power to affect even heartless beings.
‘Some demons will just be crushed.’
said the Pope.
“Isn’t creating a peaceful world a common task for you and me? What is the reason for this? Are you saying that even the way we fight has to follow yours?”
“I know all of my history before I was born. Of course, there is Lamigyo in that history.” “It doesn’t matter which god you believe in. Because religion basically exists for humans. But not a paladin. It’s not religion. What Lamigyo did to them…
Sirone said.
“It’s brainwashing.”
Perhaps the Pope was no exception.
“After undergoing rigorous training, arming my mind, and defeating evil with the powerful divine power I gained through this process. “Isn’t that how Lamigyo has grown?”
“You saved countless people. Protected the world from evil. “Is that such a bad thing?”
“The biggest mistake is making them unable to even think of themselves as being at fault. “That is brainwashing.”
“Humans are weak!”
cried the Pope.
“The whole world is full of evil, and their temptations are so sweet. If we’re going to fight against it, don’t we need to have something lethal? “If you don’t have the courage to overcome evil, everything is doomed.”
“That thought…
Sirone pointed to the floor.
“You brought evil to this place called God’s sacred place.”
“…What do you mean?”
The Pope, who did not understand, felt like he had been subjected to the most terrible insult in the world.
“There is evil in the Vatican?”
“Humans are weak. I’m easily swayed by desire. However, if you try to suppress it by force, you will fall prey to the temptation of greater evil. Rather, it increases evil.”
“Now I understand.”
The Pope became calm.
“I guess I mistook you. Was it something like this? Did you gain recognition by biting into the doctrines of other religions?”
“Don’t go to the temple.”
Sirone was adamant.
“Remain here and check the evil that the Ramicism has brought into it. “That is natural.”
“It’s time.”
As if he had completely blocked his ears, Constantine remained unresponsive to Sirone’s words.
He put his pocket watch in his pocket and turned his head just before opening the door.
“Your plan failed. I plan to go to the temple and do something for the world. If you join my cause, we can become good friends. However, if you are planning to take advantage by damaging Lamigyo, then I will fight against you with my honor and faith.”
The door closed with a bang.
The three people left alone in the Pope’s office were so tense that they didn’t even have time to recall the conversation.
“…It’s bloody.”
It was a life that could be felt right outside the door.
“If you wait too long, they will come into your room. What do we do? Will we have a fight? Or run away?”
“You can’t leave now.”
Sirone stood up.
“Now that I know the Pope’s position, I need to check with the country as well. “What is going on in the Vatican?”
Nade asked.
“But is there really evil here? “The Pope didn’t seem to feel it.”
“Because it’s the Vatican. Detecting evil is the seesaw of the law. “Why do people adapt to the temperature if they stay in the water for a long time, but people who have just entered the water feel cold or hot?”
Iruki said.
“You’re more sensitive because you’re an outsider.”
“huh. Moreover, the more powerful the evil, the weaker the evil energy becomes. Because it’s smart. “I don’t even know about Havitz.”
There was a knocking sound.
“Please stop coming out. “The Pope has gone to the temple, so there is no reason for him to remain in the Holy See.”
Iruki opened the spirit zone.
“There are seven people.”
The magic limiting device was not a problem for him as he even hacked Siok’s hidden code.
“Don’t make it too big. “If the rumor spreads that Sirone was messing with someone else’s church, public opinion in the temple will worsen.”
Nade glowed with blue electricity in his hand.
“You can’t get hit like that. “As long as I don’t kill him, right?”
“…Well, for now.”
When permission was given, Nade lowered his center of gravity and took a stance to charge.
“Goes? Are you really going?” Iruki shrugged his shoulders, and since Shirone had no other choice, he moved his hand as if pushing.
“Err!”
The moment the door shattered with a bang, six blades came in from all directions at the same time.
‘I knew it would be like this.’
As Nade’s body was engulfed in lightning, he evaded the attack with superhuman reflexes.
“catch!”
Among the Holy Knights waiting to receive special orders were Leon and Seina, members of the patrol team.
“Punish heresy!” Nade, who had moderately controlled his strength until now, could no longer bear it.
‘These bastards…
rrrrrrrrrrr!
Thunder God Tensei’s lightning surged out, shattered the ceiling, and swept down the hallway.
“Keuuuu!”
As powerful electricity swept through the hallway, the Paladins trembled while holding their swords.
Sirone shouted.
“Nade!”
Nade came to his senses and hastily adjusted his strength.
‘Oops.’
Although Raishin Tensei was powerful, it had the disadvantage of losing one’s reason the longer it was maintained.
“Now! let’s go!”
While the Holy Knights were unable to get out of shock, Sirone and his party ran in the opposite direction.
“I’m angry!”
Leon’s fist hit the floor.
“Let’s summon all the Paladins of the Trust Management Department. We must not allow them to leave the Holy See.”
“Hehehe, there’s no need for that.”
The seven Holy Knights quickly turned around at the sound of a gloomy voice coming from behind them.
“Hee hee hee hee hee hee.”
A man with his lips torn below his ears was laughing heartily, holding a twin scythe in both hands.
Seina’s face turned pale.
‘The one who laughs.’
The most secretive organization in the Vatican.
‘Heresy Management Department.’
