Episode 124. you fools
Aaron stared blankly at the bible floating in front of him.
fluffy-
After the message disappeared, the opened Bible of the past and the Bible of the future covered themselves and fell to the ground.
And the light from Keter’s sword rose to the ceiling and illuminated the present scripture.
The present Bible, left alone, waited for the reader, wide open as if to read it.
“The Bible… … .”
Nesty was also surprised.
past, present and future.
The three scriptures have never moved from their seats since they first appeared.
However, it was not enough to cover itself, so it lost its buoyancy and fell off.
It seemed that something had changed in the goddess’ heart.
“Everything has been erased.”
I hurriedly approached and opened the fallen Bible, but as expected, everything inside was erased.
Both the Bibles of the past and the future had one or two words written on each page, but even those words disappeared.
“… … .”
Aaron looked at the Bible Nesti showed him for a while and then approached the current Bible.
[Jet-dark met the holy light and found balance, because the will of the goddess was set right.]
On the first page of the Bible, there were words of unknown meaning.
I looked at the other pages just in case, but there was no other type written anywhere.
Originally, the contents transferred to the Bible of the past should remain briefly, but even that seemed to have been initialized.
“… … What do you want? Sephirot.”
[The guide of balance said, “Goddess, I am lost. Where should I go?” This is because he is tired and confused. To this, the goddess said, “You are the way.”
As soon as Aaron asked, a long sentence appeared in the Bible with soft light flowing.
It was complicatedly extended, but simply put, the answer was ‘do as you like’.
“oh my god. Aaron. This… … .”
Nesty, who had come to her side, opened her mouth wide.
The Bible, the goddess Sephirot, was directly answering Aaron’s question.
Aaron glanced at her and spoke again.
“Do what I want? Then can we destroy Zeros?”
“Oh, Aaron.”
Aaron’s blasphemy against the Bible surprised Nesti again.
Even the most benevolent Goddess of Light had no idea what would happen if she committed such a high level of disrespect.
[The guide of balance said, “Goddess, I asked if it was okay to cut off your head and burn the children. To this, the goddess said, “If that is the way of balance, so be it.”]
“… … .”
Aaron looked at the Bible without speaking.
The goddess had strict standards to the extent that those who distorted her will were dealt with through the Divine Guard.
Still, seeing this reaction, it was clear that there was no hostility.
However, lack of hostility did not mean that they were allies.
Aaron poses the most important question for the last time.
“What brought me here?”
[…] … .]
I asked a question and waited a long time, but there was no response from the Bible.
Either you don’t know the intent of the question, or you don’t answer even though you know it.
I expected it to some extent, but when it happened, my appetite was bitter.
‘At least that means I’m not going the wrong way.’
In the game, the top task of the goddess Sephiroth is the destruction of the demons and the peace of the continent.
The game’s ending was also related to that, so it was an extremely good sign for the goddess to come out so favorably.
“The goddess was curious about it. Does Aaron really deserve to be a savior?”
Nesty looked at the Bible with a daunting face.
The Bible remained silent for a long time, even when Zeroth was in peril long ago.
But how can you honestly answer a question that can be ignored?
The goddess must have had high expectations from Aaron.
“You were almost erased from the world because of the goddess’s insignificant curiosity.”
But Aaron wasn’t feeling too well.
He looked at Nesty with a hard face and continued.
“Fortunately, that didn’t happen, but it cost Ariel a lot.”
“… … .”
At the mention of Ariel’s name, Nesty’s expression hardened.
Her gaze turned to the white gauntlets she had placed at her feet.
A keepsake left by Ariel for Nesty.
She was willing to sacrifice her soul for this poor saint.
“I can only tolerate this once. If you do this again just to test me, then I will point my sword at the real goddess.”
After talking that far, Aaron glared at the Bible with eyes full of envy.
As if he understood, the light in the Bible flickered a couple of times.
“Ariel-sama left me homework.”
Nesti said softly and picked up the gauntlet.
It was hard to believe that the original shape was a spear, so the gauntlet fit perfectly in the hand.
Get a card-
As he clenched his fist, a harsh metallic sound came out.
In the clenched fists, I felt an unprecedented power, but at the same time, I felt a heavy sense of responsibility.
From noble mtl dot com
Although Ariel made irreversible sacrifices, her strong convictions and memories were deeply imprinted in her heart.
All the burdens he had depended on and passed on to her until now had to be shouldered alone.
‘The Mystic Eye of Ceremony.’
[The object is scanned.]
[This skill no longer consumes mental power.]
Aaron cast his Observation skill at Nesti, who was in agony.
[55]
’55?’
Her level was chasing Aaron to the bottom of his chin.
It seems that the power that Ariel left behind when she disappeared was passed on intact.
＜Divine Grasp, Brunak＞
– A sacred weapon containing the power of Ariel, the guide of light.
– Grade: Hero
– Material: Divine Crystal
– Unique Attribute: When worn by a priest of light, the wearer’s holy power increases by 30%.
Looking at the gauntlet, another piece of information flooded into my mind.
This white gauntlet was something Aaron had never seen before.
Originally, after purifying the bible, Brünach would emit a bright light and disappear, but this time, thanks to Ariel’s touch, it seemed to have changed to a weapon dedicated to the saintess.
“Can I make it through?”
Nesty raised her head and asked.
Although the Bible was right in front of her nose, she now started looking at Aaron before the Bible.
Aaron smiled and nodded.
“We will do just fine.”
* * *
“Huck, huck.”
“Heh, heh.”
“Are you guys all right?”
The Great Hall of the Holy See in Zeros.
Winkel, Gaos, and Landis breathed heavily and looked at each other.
Shortly after Aaron and Nesty head to the Heart of Light, the three are fighting desperately to stop Belial’s army.
The situation was not good even though the offense was excluded as much as possible and the focus was on defense.
Vinkel’s shield was often pierced by the cardinals’ attacks, and Gaos’ magic was also blocked by their holy shield.
Landis was at least better, but his wounds increased by the minute as he tried to stop those who were aiming for Vinkel and Gaos.
“it’s okay. Yeha. enough to last… … .”
“It’s okay, what’s okay! There is nowhere to retreat now!”
Gaos got angry at Vinkel, who answered calmly.
At first, it was an exciting three, but blocking was now the limit.
Divine power and magical power were exhausted, and the army pressed up to the top of the statue of the Goddess, making it impossible to retreat.
“Let’s go to the heart of light or something! cardinal! Open the door quickly!”
Gaos brushed off Landis without even paying attention.
Landis looked at him with a puzzled face.
“The road to the Bible can only be opened by His Holiness the Pope and His Holiness the Saint. I can’t open it.”
“Ay! don’t lie! hurry… … !”
dump-
Gaos was about to shout again, but one of the cardinals leading the army rolled his eyes and collapsed.
fluff- fluff-
Starting with that, the cardinals, paladins, and battle priests behind them began to fall like dominoes.
And after a while, all the enemy soldiers lined up in the outer corridor as well as in the Great Hall lay down on the ground like windblown straw.
“… … what.”
Gaos and the others looked at him with their mouths slightly open.
In an instant, a heavy silence fell in the Great Hall, where shouts, explosions, and screams were rampant.
“What is it?”
Kurrr-
The next moment, a familiar voice was heard from behind, and the motionless statue of the goddess began to rotate.
When the rotation was over, Aaron and Nesti appeared from behind the statue.
“Aaron. Saint Lady Yeha.”
Landis greeted the two with a friendly face.
When I saw them, my tension melted away and the pain rushed from the wounds all over my body.
dump-
Vinkel, too, seemed to have relaxed as well, and sat down trembling all over.
“Yeah. Please forgive my rudeness.”
“are you okay. Archbishop.”
Nesty shook her head and grabbed Vinkel’s hand to raise him up.
Warm warmth came from the white shining gauntlets.
“Everyone is alive. Fortunately, the.”
Aaron grinned at the sight of the Great Hall.
I was going to help if the fight wasn’t over, but luckily it didn’t seem necessary.
When Belial disappeared, everyone who was ruled by him lost their minds.
“You said it would take 5 minutes?”
Gaos asked curtly.
Aaron, who boasted that it would take 5 minutes and disappeared, did not appear until after 10 minutes.
If it was a little later, the three guarding this place would have turned into cold corpses and welcomed Aaron.
“The goddess said she was bored, so I came to play with her.”
“… … Can I say something like that?”
With a rather disrespectful joke, Gaos looked at the priests.
But Vinkel and Landis didn’t seem to care much about what they said.
“Ouch… … .”
“Oh my head… … .”
“Here… Isn’t it the Great Hall?”
“Why am I here?”
In the midst of sharing the joy of the reunion, cries of pain were heard from all over the Great Hall.
The Priests and Paladins who had lost their minds due to the disappearance of Belial were waking up.
“Would it be okay?”
Nesty looked at them with a worried face.
The people of the Vatican, including the cardinal, had been hostile to Aaron’s party even before they were ruled by Belial.
If they see the devastation that took place in the Great Hall, they won’t get a good reaction.
Another fight could have started.
“I will go.”
Landis made up his mind and stepped forward.
“Cardinal Nafar. Are you awake?”
He went to Nafar, the first Cardinal to wake up.
Nafar was the longest-serving cardinal, and by persuading him, the other cardinals could be pacified relatively easily.
“… … Cardinal Landis? What is this?”
Nafar, who was looking around with a puzzled face, looked at Landis and asked urgently.
The sacred Great Hall, where countless people gathered and prayed, was a real mess.
The groans of the wounded could be heard from all sides, and signs of destruction were visible throughout the Great Hall.
Even close to the statue of the goddess, there were a few people who lost their breath.
“The Bible was stolen by Belial, the immoral lord. Everyone in the Holy See except me was cursed by him.”
Landis calmly explained everything that had happened.
“… … So, is it you, Cardinal Landis, who made the Great Hall like this?”
However, after hearing the story, Nafar’s expression was not good.
His gaze was directed to Aaron, the saintess, and Vinkel on the podium.
“Aren’t Vinkel and the saintess renegades whom the Goddess herself ordered to kill?”
“Belial invaded the Bible? Are you telling us to believe that?”
“Landis. Have you been close to the saintess since she was young, and eventually chose this path?”
“Did Cardinal Landis help those renegades? Did you kill the priests of the goddess with that hand?”
The other cardinals, who had approached before they knew it, pushed Landis forward, adding words one by one.
The terrifying thing about Belial is that even if she is freed from domination, for a while, her thoughts at the time of domination are right.
It was the same even now.
They still believed the false prophecies Belial had written in the Bible to be true.
“Calm down! Time will tell! The aftereffects of domination still linger… … !”
“Shut up! Landis!”
“To kill the priests of the goddess, blinded by old love!”
“Be ashamed in front of the goddess!”
Despite Landis’s desperate explanation, the cardinals did not care.
Starting with Nafar’s cry, the cardinals raised their holy power, and the paladins and combat priests who watched it also grabbed their weapons.
“this… … .”
Landis went back to where the party was with a dismayed face.
It seemed that a long fight would begin again.
Kwak Kwak!
It was then.
The goddess statue at the back of the party shattered with an explosion, and something dazzlingly shining came out.
thud!
It landed gracefully in front of the group and aimed its sword at the cardinals, including Nafar.
“Reap the speculation. You fools.”
“… … Keter.”
Aaron’s lips went up.
