207 – Lucifer guides the evil – 2
Floretta heard those words and stood up without realizing it. The wavy blonde hair and the body wrapped in holy clothes disappeared leaving behind a golden afterimage, then immediately appeared in front of Stella.
“Again…… Say it again. What did you say?”
“She showed up a woman claiming to have been a paladin 400 years ago, and she says she knows how to get to the VIP.”
Stella repeated what she had just said without making a single mistake. Floretta’s green eyes trembled. It was the exact opposite of Stella’s green eyes, which didn’t even flinch at all.
She already knew that the honored guest was alive. He had no intention of doubting that the sun and the moon had given him a certain answer as to whether or not he would survive.
However, knowing where he was and knowing how to get there was another matter altogether. No matter how much God longed for an answer, God kept silence.
“I think the Pope will have to find out the details. Because it’s not something I can judge. You can’t interrogate a person who hasn’t been confirmed as a heretic just because the purity of the soul isn’t certain, can you?”
“Did you check the traces of divine power?”
“Yes. First of all, I confirmed that there are traces of divine power left on my body. As the word says, it’s at the trace level, so it’s because it’s too weak. And traces of the devil were also found…… It would be better for His Holiness the Pope to hear it than for me to explain it. Traces of the devil were found, but I am the first person to pass the heresy test.”
“Okay. Where can I go?”
“You can go to the basement of the Inquisition.”
As soon as Stella answered, Floretta’s body disappeared. In the next moment, the Pope of the Sun had arrived in the basement of the Inquisition. Golden high heels stepped on the cold marble floor.
In the basement of the Heretic Inquisition, where everything visible was decorated with sterling silver and marble, making it feel like frozen ground, the golden color of the bright sun bloomed profusely.
As soon as the warm energy overflowed with the sound of high heels, the combat nuns who stood around the chairs with serious expressions turned their heads one by one. Selene was the last.
“His Holiness the Pope of the Sun.”
Starting with Selene, who got down on one knee to greet Floretta, the rest of the combat nuns followed suit. The only ones who did not bow their heads were the pope, Floretta, and the paladin.
Selene raised her head and made a path beside her. A woman was sitting in the front. She was a tanned woman with long brown hair in a ponytail and a yellow bikini.
“Meet His Holiness the Pope of the Sun.”
Margarita, a tanned woman in a yellow bikini, stood up from her seat and bowed. Since it was the first pope in 400 years, he forgot all the etiquette, so his posture was very stiff.
“A paladin outfit.”
“Yes. Although it is a little old.”
Margarita tugged at the breast straps of her bikini. She was very tattered. She was on the verge of breaking at the slightest mishandling. She simply wasn’t on the level of being old enough to describe it.
A garment worn by female paladins beneath their armor. It was the identity of that yellow bikini. The color changes every 10 years, and yellow was also included in that change cycle.
Floretta calculated the cycle of her outfit in her head for a while. It’s about 400 years old. She didn’t seem to be wearing that dress carelessly.
The reason why Stella didn’t mention clothes, though, is probably because she can imitate any piece of fabric like that if she decides.
“Be still, former paladin. I have something to verify.”
A golden divine power enveloped Margarita. But Margarita did not suffer from the light, nor did she struggle to get out of her light. She quietly gave herself over to the light that enveloped her.
It was proof that the soul was not yet contaminated. Floretta smiled.
“Your soul is untainted. You have done a very good job, paladin.”
“That’s a relief. I feel relieved to hear that directly from His Holiness the Pope.”
Margarita let out a sigh of relief. In other words, it means that as long as the contamination of the body is treated, it can function normally. And she also meant that she didn’t have to die.
Anyway, as long as you have steady faith and belief, it is possible to cure the contamination of the body.
The atmosphere around me has become much softer. She felt the devil’s energy, so she was on guard just in case, but now she didn’t have to.
“Let’s begin the explanation. Did she know how to go to the VIP.”
“Honored guests…… ? Oh, I see you’re talking about Delta. Being an honored guest, somehow her divine power was so brilliant. What did she say that she was an imperial person? Anyone can see that she is from the Seongguk.”
I don’t know who she said it to, but Margarita, who had slightly raised Floretta’s liking due to her grumbling just before, started her explanation.
She first confessed that she had gone in for the temple 400 years ago, failed, survived alone and was imprisoned in hell, and lived by eating the corpses of demons in hell.
In fact, the middle process was not even explained. I just endure by eating corpses, build a house, shut myself in there and live trembling. Because these three are over.
“…… I’ve been holding on for hundreds of years, but one day, a black-haired man and a black-haired woman with a holy sword came to my house. The male side said her name was Delta, and the female side with the holy sword introduced herself as the emperor of the empire, Caicilia.”
A glimpse. Margarita, who had said this far, looked at the pope. To be honest, it was because he was talking nonsense even to himself.
“What happened next?”
But Floretta was calm. He didn’t see the slightest bit of doubt on his face.
Confirming that the pope believed her explanation, Margarita told the rest, ending with the fact that the two returned Margarita first after completing the teleportation device.
“Thank you, Sun… ….”
As soon as the explanation was over, tears flowed from Floretta’s eyes. It was gratitude to the gods who bestowed such grace, and relief that the honored guest was still doing what he had to do.
Seeing the pope in tears, Margarita wondered if something was wrong, and she was startled, but Selene and the battle nuns remained calm. Embarrassed, Margarita sat back down.
However, there was one fact that Margarita did not tell until the end. It was the fact that the Emperor of the Empire and Delta were lovers.
What is the reason for exposing other people’s dating history? It seemed like they were dating because they liked each other, seeing as they hugged and petted and didn’t make a fuss, but it wasn’t something anyone else would interfere with.
“…… Did you say Sister Margarita?”
Floretta wiped her tears with her sleeve as if she was all crying, and met her gaze with Margarita.
“Your faith in that god is sure to please the sun and the moon. I, Floretta Evangelina, Pope of the Sun, vouch for that fact. She is well returned to the bosom of God, Lamb.”
His head bowed. It was an act of the Pope bowing his head to a paladin, but no one was surprised. Because this was dory.
He is a man who has been imprisoned in hell for 400 years.
It wouldn’t have been strange if he had lost his faith long ago and been corrupted or given to the devil, but to still maintain the purity of his soul was a formidable feat in itself.
“Uh…… I appreciate your compliment?”
Margarita was equally unconcerned, but for a slightly different reason.
Although she went 360 degrees crazy and looked like a normal person on the outside, Margarita was basically far from sane anyway. It’s not that he’s not surprised, he can’t be surprised.
“Lastly, he said he knew how to get to hell.”
After the greeting, Floretta raised her head and her eyes lit up. This was the main point.
Margarita finally explained with even more enthusiasm than before. He had a desire to help those two people who were his benefactors, and he also had a desire to take revenge on Hell.
Although she failed miserably when she attacked, it is definitely possible now, after Delta and Kai Killia almost plowed halfway through hell.
Floretta, who had been listening to Margarita’s explanation, looked at Selene with calm eyes when the explanation was over.
“The Heretic Questioner.”
“Yes, His Holiness the Pope. Please speak.”
“Could you please call the Pope of the Moon?”
To call the pope of the moon, not Seraphica’s sister. It meant that they needed to talk, not as a relationship between her brother and sister, but as a relationship between the Sun Pope and the Moon Pope.
Selene answered without saying anything.
“I will follow.”
“And, gather all the battle nuns and paladins. This too is my order as the Pope of the Sun.”
A holy relic appeared in Floretta’s hand. A small sun shining between the four pairs of wings illuminated the entire cellar. Oh, said Margarita with a small exclamation.
“From now on, I will officially declare a holy war.”
“…… I don’t understand anything.”
Lucifer stood in his place with his arms wide open, like a prophet preaching the law. He still showed no signs of attacking me.
“If you are a true god, are you referring to that dragon?”
ㅡDon’t call him in vain.
‘I can talk a little bit now.’
Until just now, he was just talking one-sidedly, but now he listens to me and gets angry. Still, he didn’t seem like a guy who ignored me and talked only about himself.
“What did you call me carelessly? I don’t even know his name yet.”
In the game, it was only called the world eater from beginning to end, but there was no other information at all.
ㅡThen let me know. Think of it as the first step towards true faith.
“What?”
You tell me so easily? While doing this, I was taken aback for a while, and the part of the guy’s head that would be a human’s mouth opened up and down.
Inside it, a creepy tree root protruded from its mouth and wriggled like an earthworm.
ㅡHis name is…….
At the same time as the roots of the tree wriggled and made a sound, tremendous wind pressure burst out.
“Ugh?!”
My body, swept squarely by the wind, floated into the air and was pushed back for a long time.
I pinned the wingless nightmare to the ground. He managed to stop himself just before his heels were barely pushed off the edge of the cliff. He sighed barely and lifted his head.
The space around Lucifer was distorted and exploded, dyed black, then blended with the normal space and disappeared again.
Her mouth shut, the tree roots entangled again and the hole that looked like her mouth completely disappeared. The guy’s voice rang out.
ㅡDid you understand?
“Not at all.”
What kind of devil uses dragon words? I grumbled and walked back into the island.
From noble mtl dot com
He said that a dragon is such a concept. It means that the words themselves contain the laws and truths of the world. That’s why I have to use dragon words when fighting the World Eater boss battle later.
In common sense, if you don’t use dragons to restrict their movements, there’s absolutely no reason for dragons to come down to the ground and fight with humans.
I just need to fire a breath in the air and it’s over.
If one shot isn’t enough, just shoot until you die.
‘Did I say that the stronger the power contained in the words, the higher the rank?’
If space was torn and twisted to the extent of simply saying his name, it was obvious what the level of the world eater would be.
ㅡYou may have heard of the myths of the outside world.
After I did my best to tell him his name, Lucifer’s voice rang out again. It looked like I was quite coveted.
I don’t know if that’s the will of the world eater or his own will.
“A myth of the outside world?”
—-The excuse that you have never heard of it doesn’t work, you who are protected by a false god. You must be familiar with the story of a false god refusing the salvation of a true god.
“… ….”
While thinking about what that meant, I realized that it was a story from the history of the Holy Kingdom. The story is that the god of the holy kingdom is preventing the invasion of the world eater.
I did something at the moment because of useless religious words.
“Yes. I’ve heard of it.”
I’ve heard of it, but not ‘in this world’. I saw it while browsing the documentation in the game.
Could it be that they mistook me for a Seongguk person and assumed that since I am a Seongguk person, I must have read their country’s history books.
—-That myth, except for one, is all false.
“One must mean the truth. What is that one?”
I was a bit surprised. I thought you would just say everything was a blatant lie.
ㅡThe false god and the true god collided.
‘…… Uh?’
Of course, the true god he said would be the one who eats the world, and the false god would be the sun and moon. Was that dragon strong enough to fight the Creator directly?
Did the main character of Brunet 4 catch such an existence with a want?
‘What kind of monster are you doing?’
It’s a game I played, but what is he really doing?
While I was seriously assessing the strength of the main character of Brunet 4, Lucifer started talking again.
ㅡThe false god lost everything except for two worlds. One of those remaining worlds has already returned to primordial nothingness.
‘…… Ancient nothing?’
Sounds like a setting I heard somewhere. What was it My memory was fuzzy. Was it a setting from brute 3?
ㅡ Salvation is inevitable. The false god only repeated running away. Many worlds have already been saved. Now there is only one left.
From here on, it was a story I had never heard before. I was focused. That whole statement could be a lie trying to dazzle me, but that’s something to be judged after hearing everything.
ㅡMere humans cannot reject God. You who are protected by a false god. Open your eyes too Throw off the bridle and face the truth.
“… ….”
ㅡHold the outstretched hand. Don’t miss your chance to serve the true God. Salvation is at hand in the world, let there be only one darkness.
“…… Let me ask you one thing. What is that salvation?”
To my question, Lucifer answered as if it were natural.
ㅡEverything goes extinct. Nothing left. All that exists, including the believer, fuses into one in the bosom of the true God. That is salvation
“Isn’t this crazy?”
That’s pseudo.
Aimed at the nightmare that lost its wings. Lucifer’s eyes rotated counterclockwise as he saw the tip of the knife aimed at him.
ㅡI will accept it as meaning that I will reject salvation.
“What is salvation? You’re telling me to just die. Are you following someone who says I’m crazy?”
Actually, even though my values were normal, I had no intention of accepting it, but after hearing that, I hated it all the more. If I believe and follow him, it only means that I will die.
When I refused with a single knife, a long spear began to form as the tree roots intertwined in his right hand.
ㅡ It’s a pity. Why do you reject the salvation of the true God?
“It is up to me to decide who is true and who is false. Not that one And if that’s salvation, I can do it right now, how about it?”
ㅡIn that case, die resentful of your own ignorance.
A spear the length of a pike was pointed at me. Even though the length was absurdly long, the handle was thick like a cone.
He kicked the ground.
