241 – Falling
Amidst the trembling sky, Caicilia gripped the holy sword until her knuckles turned white. I couldn’t understand what was going on right now.
Was the sky a being that could move like that, as if someone was grabbing it and shaking it? Was that really possible?
But he was the Emperor of the Aethernum Empire, whether he was in turmoil or not, and he had to do his job. Cai Cilia asked Minerva right next to her, her equally clenched staff.
“Minerva. Did you deliver all of her message?”
“…… That’s right. As the child said, all the knights were ready for battle, and the wizards were also prepared. However…….”
Minerva murmured. Even though she hadn’t finished her words, it was fairly easy to guess what was going to follow.
“Are you saying that collecting them is useless?”
Nodding, Minerva nodded her head sadly.
It was. No matter how hard humans tried on the ground, they couldn’t do anything about what was happening in the sky.
Even the eternal mage can’t come up with a sharp number. I can’t figure out why this situation happened, let alone find a way to solve that situation.
He ordered the knights to prepare for battle and recruited wizards, but what use would they show in a situation where the sky was rumbling and shaking and spewing out all sorts of roars?
“How do you think that will end, Minerva.”
“I don’t know either, child.”
The roar continued to resonate even as the pinnacle of Imperial power engaged in a helpless conversation. It was a moment when time passed helplessly and confusion gradually increased.
“Look over there, Minerva!”
Caiquilia hurriedly pointed near the horizon. Silver-white pupils followed her fingers.
The sun was staggering.
A cluster of light that spread around the round sphere trembled, then flickered for a while, and even faded.
“…… It will take a lot of time for the confusion to subside.”
Sensing that fact, Kai Kilia bit her lip.
I don’t know how long it will take for the empire to regain stability after passing through unprecedented chaos where the sky vibrates and the sun staggers.
People will be anxious, rumors will spread, and confusion will come. Even a heinous group that wants to take advantage of that gap will run rampant.
In order to make it a little less confusing, even from now on…….

“Ah?”
Minerva opened her mouth in a trembling voice.
“Why is that? What else-“
The fact that there was still something to be surprised, Kai Kilia thought of her contingency plan, but she raised her head annoyedly and then froze.
The full moon was rising in the sky that was supposed to be daytime.
The sun and moon float in the same sky? It was impossible. A groaning sound came from below. Since Caicilia and Minerva were shocked, the reaction of the rest was obvious.
But the surprises are still far from over. The physical distance between the sun and the moon gradually narrowed, and a tremendous brilliance began to emerge from the gap.
It was obviously somewhere near the horizon, so it was far away from the imperial palace, but it was enough to cast a shadow behind Caicilia and Minerva’s bodies.
“Oh, the Holy Sword… ….”
“…… It resonates with that brilliance.”
The blade of the Holy Sword lit up a golden light. With this, it became clear that the situation was related to divine power.
Come to think of it, at some point the trembling in the sky stopped. It was so full of surprises that it wasn’t clear when. I couldn’t understand what was going on, but I didn’t have time to be surprised.
An object that was spreading brilliant brilliance had fallen down. Seeing the brilliance that disappeared as it crashed down to the horizon, Caicilia muttered blankly.
“…… Minerva.”
“I know. You just have to move to the location where the brilliance fell, right?”
“Yes. Try to move as quickly as possible.”
“O merciful sun…… Dear Moon…… The miracles you performed, I have clearly confirmed with the eyes of this Lamb…….”
Floretta, Luna, Stella and Selene knelt down and looked up at the miracle unfolding in the sky, holding hands and praying.
It has been a long time since the emotions that filled me with astonishment due to the case where the sky shook or the sun shook just before have disappeared.
Of course, the sun and moon were rising together on the hill where the four of them were kneeling.
I was witnessing the scene of the sun and moon rising in the same sky right below me, and the faith I had spread so far was being rewarded, but there was no time to pay attention to such an event.
Even Selene, who has a thorough and cold personality, shed tears, and Stella cried out loud at all. Even the eyes of Floretta and Luna, who barely held back their tears, were full of moisture.
This miracle could not be limited to the four people gathered here. All holy kingdoms would have witnessed it, and all believers would be praising the sun and moon.
“Brilliance…… !”
The miracle didn’t stop there. Brilliant brilliance spread between the sun and the moon and covered the whole world with light.
Its innocence was not at a level that the holy power of the Popes dared to stand by. Compared to that brilliance, Floretta and Luna’s divine power felt like sewage sewage.
The sun and moon descended as if wrapped in brilliance, then ascended again to the sky, but the light did not stop. Heading downward, toward the place where the four of them were, he crashed as it was.
Floretta and Luna, Stella and Selene could understand at once why God had given a revelation and why he had told them to stay here.
It must have been arranged so that I could see this sacred figure from the nearest seat.
“…… Uh?”
It was the moment when Floretta bent her head to the limit in order to capture even a little more of its sacredness and splendor. A jet-black silhouette with a familiar feeling was caught in the green eyes.
In the splendid brilliance, there was someone.
“…… What’s wrong, Evangelina?”
Luna wrapped her arms around her sister’s shoulders cautiously. Floretta pointed into the radiance without saying a word. Even the purple eyes reflected a familiar jet-black silhouette.
The two recognized it at once.
“Delta…… Sir?”
“He…… ?”
The popes were surprised in turn, and even Stella and Selene, who were crying out loud at the fact that the true identity of that divine light was Delta, raised their heads.
It really was. The distance was considerable, but for some reason I could clearly see the inside of the radiance. Perhaps even this is God’s arrangement.
“Delta! Delta!”
Floretta jumped around like a child and liked the fact that the identity of the brilliance was Delta, and that even the sun and the moon recognized him. Luna also smiled broadly and held her hands in front of her chest.
However, it didn’t take long before that smile changed the question.
Something was strange. Did you see the scenery beyond the original human stomach? Originally, did the human stomach look so empty? Original human…….
“Ah, ah…… ?”
There is a hole in Delta’s abdomen. It wasn’t even a fist, but a hole big enough for a decent amount of children to pass through.
Recognizing that fact, the bodies of the four froze.
In addition, when I looked closely, even the posture of falling was strange. If you’re falling headfirst, it means you’ve lost consciousness or somehow can’t control your movements.
The first to act was Luna. In a panic, she teleported to the vicinity of the radiance in place of her brother, who had frozen in place.
She embraced her body with light and warmth, but she was not there when she was feeling the warmth. She made her way through the light and approached the jet-black figure at its center.
“Del… ….”
And then, without even being able to tell her full name, he distorted her face. The closer she checked, the more serious it was.
This was not a level that could be expressed simply as a hole in the stomach. It was no different from having the whole abdomen ripped out.
The inside of the tattered body is visible, and the internal organs have completely evaporated. It was close to a miracle that the upper and lower bodies were still connected.
Luna hurriedly embraced Delta’s body. The brilliant radiance that enveloped her body scattered into the air. As the golden glow dissipated, the terrifying appearance was revealed even more.
With her trembling hands wrapped around her delta, Luna descended to the ground and spread her silver divine power thinly. Her Delta’s body lay on top of the divine power.
Seeing this, Stella and Selene’s faces became pale. It was because it was not a wound that would be considered normal even for the two, who had a very deep relationship with the act of torturing humans.
Even if they tortured them, they didn’t tear out the entire abdomen like that because the purpose was to inflict pain for a very long time.
A human whose entire abdomen is ripped off simply dies.
“Delta…… Ugh…… Our delta…….”
Floretta trembled all over her body and approached Delta. Her thick tears dripped.
“Are you still, are you still alive…… ?”
“…… Yes. You are still breathing, Evangelina. I am not dead.”
As Luna ran her finger down her delta’s nose, she felt a warm breeze and was relieved. Are still alive Although she has become like this, she is holding on to that life.
“Well, in that case, get treatment quickly…… I need to take you to the Cathedral…… No, let’s cast a divine spell—”
“…… What are you doing?”
In an instant, a voice that seemed even pale was heard.
Kaicilia and Minerva, who had just arrived at the place where the brilliance was thought to have fallen, looked down at Delta lying on top of the divine power with trembling expressions.
“…… What are you doing right now, aren’t you asking me?”
“My Emperor… ….”
“Are you dead?”
“Huh… ….”
“I’m asking if the man is dead, Pope of the Sun.”
“… ….”
“Aren’t you asking if I’m dead! Why don’t you answer me!”
With her thunderous roar, Kai Kilia approached Delta. First of all, she saw a large hole in her abdomen.
I couldn’t see where the internal organs had gone as the hole was pierced, and as if the mouth had been wide open, there was a terribly large gap pierced where it shouldn’t be.
Lastly, even the two eyes closed peacefully as if dead. Cai Killia, who stood in front of him, gritted her teeth and grabbed the handle of her holy sword with a crush. Minerva comforted Caicilia.
“Calm down, child.”
“Really? Did I tell you to calm down now? Are you saying that leisure now looks so real! If you have eyes too, see, Minerva! If Delta was in that state—”
“The child is fine.”
The words of the furious cut off. The corners of Cai Killia’s eyes and her lips twitched at the same time. She seemed to be holding back her anger or preparing to vent her anger.
“Now…… What did you do? That look…… Are you all right?”
“I don’t know what happened, but everything seems to be functioning normally except for the missing internal organs. The child won’t die I swear by the name of this Minerva.”
When Minerva put her own name on her scales, she couldn’t help but flinch, no matter how much Caicilia. She turned to her man, whose golden pupil lay dead.
It’s a wound from the lower abdomen to the pit of the stomach that has been completely ripped off, but she’s alive and well with this appearance?
“…… If so, when does she wake up? As he said, if Delta is fine, it wouldn’t be strange if he woke up a long time ago—”
“Are you awake now?”
The six people gathered here were at a loss for what to say when they saw the jet-black pupils open nonchalantly.
When he came to his senses, Delta opened his eyes and looked up with a very normal expression. While the six of them were silent, Delta looked down at her stomach and stuck out her tongue.
“Wow, what an idiot. What did you do so neatly? Should I buy some donuts later?”
Even that wasn’t enough, he put his hand on his empty stomach and groped. It was an unbelievable act for someone who was seriously injured.
“Why… ….”
Caicilia muttered in vain. Delta put her hand in and out of the hole in her abdomen and looked up at her.
“It’s too long to explain, Your Majesty the Emperor. This is not something to talk about with a hole in the stomach.”
“I know, child. So, start with treatment-“
“This cannot be cured with divine spells or magic.”
“…… What does that mean?”
Instead of giving an answer, Delta jumped up. Floretta and Luna were frightened at the sight of a body that was no different from a corpse standing up.
“Isn’t there a dragon that came to the imperial palace last time? It’s him.”
