Chapter 1473

    <h4>Chapter 1473</h4>


    The Reba Church was conscious of their debt to Grid. He was the agent of the goddess who punished the corrupted pope and the warrior who unlocked the seal of the Holy Sword. He saved the lives of the Reba’s Daughters and saved the Vatican that was in a crisis. Most of the members recognized that without Grid, their church would’ve declined.


    However, they didn’t openly worship Grid as a benefactor. It was because hemitted a sin that was contrary to their doctrines. A human being who had be a god. A new religion was set up. He even took away Pope Damian, a number of elders, and the Reba’s Daughters...


    The Reba Church went through great confusion. There was a heated debate. Some of the doctrine-driven members of the church argued that Grid should be punished immediately. Meanwhile, the others who valued grace and reason as much as doctrine argued, “How can you forget his grace and harm Grid?”


    Still, most of the followers had realistic thinking and asked, ‘What right do we have to discuss Grid’s punishment?’


    It was a question that silenced both those who said they should punish Grid and those who said they shouldn’t punish Grid. It was because the essence was contained in the question. The Reba Church had no power to harm Grid. The same was true even if they worked with the Dominion Church and Judar Church.


    Theck of power was a good thing.


    The Reba Church sat on the fence. They didn’t respond outright to Grid. They used the pretext of being powerless to just express regret. Many members of the church cheered for Grid in their hearts. In the wake of the Archangel Sariel incident, there were believers who had doubts about Reba. Would the core members of the church betray the goddess for no reason?


    Some senior priests condemned Damian and said he was punished by the angel for his evil heart, causing him to be expelled. The elders and Reba’s Daughters who left with Damian were blinded by wealth and corrupted. It was nothing more than cheap incitement.


    There weren’t many church members who believed their words. The believers remembered the truth, faith, and good deeds Damian showed during his time as pope. It happened one day as the doubts and confusion among the church members deepened...


    On this day, the believers gathered together to elect an interim pope.


    -He will guide you.


    Someone’s voice was heard high in the sky. It was a divine voice that was separate from the doubts in their hearts. They naturally bowed their heads. The voice was warm and they wanted to rely on it. Ahh, why did they doubt her for a moment? The believers regretted being so hasty.


    A light fell in front of them as they prayed with their hands together. A figure with blond hair shone in the light. It was hard to tell if they were a beautiful woman or a handsome man. He introduced himself as the new Goddess’ Agent and he naturally became the pope. He was as warm as the goddess’ voice. He was also verypetent and was described as the ‘seconding’ of 2nd Pope Chreshler.


    The believers gradually trusted and relied on him. They recovered a bit of their lost faith. However, this time they doubted the pope’s actions.


    “What do you mean by the demonic humans appeared due to the Overgeared Kingdom and Overgeared God Church?”


    The demonic humans also urred in viges and cities where the symbols were fine. Additionally, most of the symbols destroyed by the Overgeared Kingdom and Overgeared God Church were rted to Martial God Zeratul. Of course, the symbols of the other gods were damaged, but at the very least, they didn’t touch the symbols of Goddess Reba. They kept this line. In other words, Goddess Reba’s symbols were intact in ces with the demonic humans. The pope’s im that the demonic humans urred in viges and cities where the symbol of Goddess Reba was destroyed was clearly wrong.


    “The Overgeared God Church won’t sit by and leave alone the pope’s distorted im.”


    “We need to correct it right away...”


    The situation that flowed became serious. The believers who were incited by the pope’s ims were misleading the public. The aftermath was felt in real time. There were reports that people who had been cut off for a while were heading to the temples of the three gods.


    The Overgeared Kingdom worshipped the Overgeared God and founded the Overgeared God Church. The Reba Church and Overgeared God Church were barely in a neutral state, but that tightrope seemed to being to an end. The aftermath would be big. They were afraid.


    The pope looked at the elders who were pouring out their concerns and opened his mouth, “Are you members of the Overgeared God Church? Why are you, the elders of our church, representing their position?”


    “This isn’t an emotional problem. The moment the Overgeared Kingdom bes hostile to our church, it will be inconvenient in many ways.”


    At present, the Vatican itself was within the territory of the Overgeared Kingdom. The Vatican had existed even before the creation of the Overgeared Kingdom and was legally recognized as an independent territory. However, thews mentioned here wereid down during the Eternal Kingdom’s rule. The Overgeared Kingdom could abolish the existingws and eject the Vatican at any time if they wanted. Of course, the Vatican could be rebuilt in other kingdoms. However, it would be humiliating if they were kicked out.


    They honestly questioned how many kingdoms would ept the Vatican. Now the influence of the Overgeared Kingdom reached all over the continent.


    “Moreover, isn’t this the time when the demons are moving? Why is there a need to increase the number of enemies when we are facing amon enemy?”


    The pope was an example for everyone. Despite being so powerful and divine that he was called the seconding of Chreshler, he didn’t go on a rampage. Even though he received the Blessing of Light from the goddess, he didn’t have the sense and arrogance of a chosen person. He always had a learning attitude.


    Thus, the elders could point out the pope’s faults. They believed he would repent on his mistakes and solve the problem. However, the pope’s attitude didn’t change.


    “Demons. Amon enemy.” The pope repeated and approached the window. He opened the high window and stood on the terrace.


    “Wahhhhhhh!”


    “Hooray, His Holiness! Hooray, Goddess Reba!”


    Tens of thousands of people filled the square. There were a variety of races. They came from all over the continent. How long had it been since so many people gathered at the Vatican?


    The people waved to them with a kind smile before whispering to the elders.


    “They are far from the reason for our church’s existence.”


    “What does that...”


    “Our church is only for Goddess Reba. The reason why our church has fought against evil beings and served weak humans is to build Goddess Reba’s virtues and have Goddess Reba’s name spread widely throughout the world. Putting the me on the Overgeared God and distorting the truth? Yes, that’s right. I used this as an opportunity to raise the power of our church and correct Goddess Reba’s lost reputation. Ipleted the mission of the pope. The elders have the responsibility to help me. How can you me me instead?”


    “The order is wrong. Goddess Reba exists for humanity and we serve her with gratitude.”


    The old elder who spoke on behalf of the elders felt madness from the pope and shut up. He was a parish priest active in Titan, the capital of the empire. He served the goddess more honestly and faithfully than anyone else. He was so popr that he was once mentioned as a candidate for the pope. However, he just wanted to be a priest who prayed to the goddess. He stayed away from power. Of his own volition, he didn’t run for the pope position and he refused to hold a senior post. He recently epted a senior position to lead the Reba Church on the right path. He was worried to see the believers doubt the goddess so easily. Therefore, he took the lead so he wouldn’t let them get lost.


    “I believe Your Holiness made the wrong judgment because you are crushed by heavy responsibilities. I believe you made a slip of the tongue because you were excited by the cheers and support of the people. It is better for you to take a few days off and take care of yourself.”


    It was dangerous. There was a temperament of fanaticism. The elder was seeing into the essence of the pope. He knew how to think and judge politically. He decided to detain the pope momentarily. However, this pope was called the seconding of Chreshler. This was in terms of force.


    “The old man has spoken ludicrous words. You need to be corrected.” A light shed. It was a light that stretched out in a straight line. This was thest sight that the elder from Titan saw.


    “T-This is unbelievable!”


    “W-What are you doing?!”


    The faces of the elders turned white.


    The people in the square were still cheering without knowing what happened above. The pope waved to them with a smile while an old man turned into a corpse and rolled around the pope’s feet. The scene that urred was so unrealistic that the elders couldn’t properly ept the situation. Nevertheless, fear entered their hearts. They felt like they had seen the demon. A twisted fanatic who was close to evil.


    On the other hand—


    “What was that light just now?”


    The people of the broadcasting station, who were filming the pope and people in the square from the opposite building, felt a strange difference. There was a white light that destroyed the view around the pope. Once they opened their eyes again, the scenery wasn’t different from a while ago, but somehow, the faces of the elders standing behind the pope were frightened.


    “Turn the camera back.”


    “The light was so strong that itpletely covered the screen. I can’t capture anything.”


    “This damn thing...”


    Something must’ve happened. The viewers watching the show in real time as well as the station’s filming crew felt a strange atmosphere. Only the people in the square didn’t detect the change. It was because they couldn’t clearly see the terrace from their position.


    “Where are you looking?”


    It happened when the filming team and viewers were feeling extremely frustrated...


    The pope, who was looking down at the people in the square in a pleased manner, abruptly shifted his gaze to the sky. Dozens of cameras chased his gaze. An orange glow was spreading in the blue sky without any clouds. It was like a sunset. It was mysterious and beautiful.


    “Grid...?”


    The shooting team was flustered. The video conveyed to the viewers shook. Grid was gazing down at the pope in a cold manner. There was a clear sense of anger. The ck eyes were red like a sun spreading the sunset.


    “......”


    The people in the square btedly realized Grid’s emergence and became silent. The unapproachable dignity forced them to remain silent.


    “I want to ask the pope.”


    It was Grid who brought the silence and he was the one who broke it.


    “You imed that the cause of the demonic humans is my kingdom. You are guilty of defaming my kingdom with groundless ims and demoralizing the soldiers ahead of the war. Apologize.”


    Every one of Grid’s words were angry. His cold voice contained anger. The dignity that forced silence changed to a power that made heads bow. The people in the square reflexively flinched. It was both yers and NPCs. No one dared to lift their heads. The shooting team’s circumstances were simr. They were quite a distance away from Grid, but they were still weighed down by the pressure. The camera lens was lowered and viewers had to suffer from the inconvenience.


    The elders were contemtive. Their expressions seemed to be saying, ‘You came.’


    The pope was the only one who was nonchnt. He blurred the essence. He focused on and criticized Grid’s actions, not his words. “Did youe to our church to receive an apology? Still, it is embarrassing that a man who ims to be a god can’t control his anger and moves around so lightly. I didn’t expect much since your level of heresy is too high, but you are much lower than I expected.”


    The pope’s words quickened. He was trying not to show it, but he was very excited. He seemed to be enjoying this situation.


    “Your intention ofing to our church on the day of the rally and expressing your anger in front of the many members of the church, showing off your power and force... it is to intimidate the church members and crush the spirit of the members. Is a god such an impure and violent being to you? Do you want to prove yourself? It isn’t appropriate. You don’t know God because you aren’t a god. My church and I deny you.”


    “I am showing off my power and force?” Grid had been expressionless and now his lips curled up. It was so ridiculous that augh leaked out. He pulled a sword out of his inventory. It wasn’t a famous divine sword. It was one of the low-grade weapons made in the smithy a while ago.


    Grid threw it. He didn’t mix in any techniques or skills. The sword flew like a sh, cutting the pope’s earlobe and mmed into the wall. At the same time, the ground shook. Cracks urred in the building that couldn’t withstand the impact. The building was shaken.


    “If I really showed off my strength, would the Reba Church still exist?”


    “......!”


    “......!”


    At this moment, the Reba Church that had reigned as thergest and best religion for a long time, became an insignificant organization.


    One sentence from Grid made it so. People sensed it. Today, the bnce of power would change.
