The holy place I visited after a long time was quiet.

It was not because of the influence of the Pope’s actions.

That madman even left the church with only his people, and the civil war that broke out within the church was put down by a true saint.

But the reason the Holy Land chose silence instead of bustle was because of me.

Some time ago, Fabio announced to the people of the Holy Land that I was an apostle of the Lord.

It wasn’t that Pavie was acting on her own.

The day I told the apostles that I would reveal the truth, Phoebe came to me after everyone else had left and asked me carefully and earnestly.

Can I tell the truth to those in the Holy Land?

At the time, I said yes without thinking much about it.

The reason I have hidden the fact that I am an apostle of the Lord until now is because of those who would oppose me, including the Pope.

There was no reason to hide their identities since they were all gone.

Now, even if it was revealed that I was the apostle of the Lord, I didn’t think anything would change.

Whether in the past or present, I am a person with many flaws when it comes to standing in front of others.

At first, they will look at you with surprise, but after a while, their eyes will cool down.

At best, I thought, the jealousy towards me would diminish.

And on the day we decided to visit the Holy Land.

I realized how much of a flower garden my head was.

“See you, Lord Apostle!”

As soon as I left the room with the teleportation device, dozens of knights lined up in front of me.

While I was swallowing my saliva at the sight of such a sight, I heard a murmur from around me.

“That person.”

“You are truly noble.”

“Even the apostles of the art cult fell in love with him.”

“Hope of the Continent.”

While I was at a loss for words at the sound of awe, wonder, and curiosity, a knight approached me and took off his helmet.

It was my grandfather’s doll that I had saved before.

“I will guide you, Apostle.”

The very polite voice of the old man gave me goosebumps, but instead of making a fuss because I was worried about the attention from those around me, I quietly followed the doll into the carriage.

“You seem very surprised.”

Faby, who was waiting inside the carriage, was smiling contentedly.

Ah. So you’re saying that you’re the one responsible for this situation?

I sat down on the chair with a grin on my face, crossed my legs, and pointed to the floor without saying a word.

Faby, who had been smiling awkwardly and observing my every move, sat down on the carriage floor as soon as I furrowed my brows slightly.

“That’s weird? When did I ever ask for something like this?”

“No. But even if you don’t ask, we have to pay homage to the apostle…”

When I tapped the sac with the tip of my toe, Faby blushed and shut her mouth.

“Are you doing this on purpose to make me mad? How can a sloppy woman fall into such a pervert? I’m so sad.”

“…I’m sorry, Youngae. But please know that this wasn’t something I did on my own.”

“Now she’s even selling out other perverts. Ugh. Is this a real saint?”

“That. That is not it! I will not deny my fault for not being able to stop them! However, the actions of the believers who wanted to pay homage to you were entirely their own will!”

Sigh. Those kids who just saw me as a nuisance until recently are volunteering to do this?

That makes perfect sense.

And even if what you say is true, don’t you appreciate the praise from those scumbags who change their attitude as soon as their status changes?

I kicked Faby with my foot, making her cry, then I helped her up and sat on her.

“There’s no need for those kinds of crap.”

Even if they praise me for a hundred days, nothing will change.

What good is the good evaluation from those extras?

If you were going to like me, you should have liked me earlier.

If that were the case, life at the academy would have been a bit more comfortable.

As I spoke with an efficiency mindset, the doll’s gaze towards me became subtle and Faby’s hand that was holding me became stronger.

Did I say something wrong? Why are they reacting like this?

Feeling uncomfortable in the damp atmosphere, I arrived at the holy place before I knew it.

I stepped inside without even being searched, and I burst out laughing as I saw people lined up on the outside of the street, bowing their heads one by one.

If I had known you were going to be this annoying, I would have chosen a different place.

This is just the place that works best for my plan, but it’s not like other places wouldn’t work.

Check out the faces of those who bow their heads and click their tongues.

I see a bunch of shameless people who openly curse at me and then try to absolve themselves of their sins by just bowing their heads once.

Then I covered my face with my hands and got up from my seat, swearing.

What a pity. If I had known there would be a ton of idiots like that, I would have had the pervert apostle on standby.

I regret not sending it first because it was uncomfortable to receive that bastard’s sinister gaze.

I slowly stepped out of the carriage and looked around, ignoring the people kneeling urgently.

I’d like to raise my middle finger and swear, but that would put Faybe in a lot of trouble, so let’s just go with the flow.

It’s not that hard. I’m so beautiful that even a pervert would be charmed if I didn’t open my mouth.

He puts both hands together and prays to the Lord as if he were praying to Him.

He shouts that he will embrace even their wretchedness.

Then, according to the power that I possessed, divinity moved and added light to the world.

I can hear people crying.

Voices of apology echo here and there.

I listened to all those sounds, but I neither confirmed nor condemned them.

I just prayed until they became quiet.

I think this will be enough.

As I climbed back into the carriage, I saw Faby looking at the crystal ball, the corners of her lips curling up.

“Perverted woman. What’s with that disgusting smile?”

“Look! This noble and merciful appearance of Yeong-ae! This is the kind of video I was hoping for!”

The image of me recorded in the crystal ball looked quite plausible.

The contrast between the people around me, who were expressing their emotions openly, and me, calmly praying and spreading divinity, made my greatness stand out.

Since appearance is appearance, even if you take a rough picture, the picture comes out well.

But this isn’t enough. It’s plausible, but not compelling.

I guess there are limits to what is natural.

There needs to be some directing involved so that everyone who sees it gets excited and praises it.

After hearing the story about the video from the pervert apostle last time, I came up with an innovative way to persuade people from all over the place.

In order to persuade those who argue with emotion rather than reason, you have to push with emotion as well.

I’m going to film a video that will naturally make people acknowledge that I’m an apostle of God and make them realize that this world has truly become dangerous, and I’m going to spread it around the world!

This is an amateur video, so it might be a bit awkward, but that doesn’t matter! The people who will watch my video will be ignorant anyway!

Persuading the apostles and persuading those under the apostles are two entirely different things.

In any case, the apostles of each church are people worthy of God’s attention and have received considerable education to represent a religion.

Apostles, who should be called intellectuals, are not easily deceived by propaganda, and even if they are tempted, they cannot be convinced by any means because the divine being sends them a warning.

But believers are different.

They are the most ordinary inhabitants of this world.

If you are a human living in a fantasy world who cannot even imagine the civilization of modern society, you will bow your head in amazement even if you only show them a poor video.

It’s not such a far-fetched story. The unknown can easily make fools of people.

As I entered the Holy Land building, I frowned at the sight of my paintings lined up at the entrance.

Faby. I know you want to praise me, but do you really have to do it this way?

This is why the relationship between the Lord and the apostles seems to have been reversed.

Even if I don’t respect the Lord that much, you shouldn’t be like this.

“We will leave it like this until everyone sees Young-ae’s achievements.”

Is it an achievement?

Now that I think about it, the pictures all depict things I’ve fought for.

The Apostle of the Evil God. The Evil God of Fire. The Evil God of Darkness. The Evil God of Void. As I looked at the pictures depicting the various battles I had been through, I felt once again that it was a miracle that I was standing here.

“People living on the continent should feel grateful to Lady Youngae.”

I shrugged my shoulders at Faby’s firm words and entered the main hall of the Holy Land.

The pervert apostle, who had come early and was making various preparations with the Fairy Queen, came running towards me with cheers as soon as he saw me.

“Welcome! Alun Youngae! I am ready to record your appearance!”

“The various productions that Youngae mentioned are also ready. I want to see the real thing soon.”

Okay. Then let’s film a video to fool the people of the continent.

Ruel frowned at the sight of his two friends who had suddenly entered his spiritual world.

“So you’re saying you ran away after handing over the piece of Agra to the apostle of the evil god?”

“It’s a bit much to say that he ran away. Call it a strategic retreat.”

When Garad answered playfully, Ruel sighed openly.

“On purpose?”

“The Lord has desired this.”

As the warrior answered slowly, Ruel slumped down across from them.

“Lucy said that the Lord is trying to eliminate variables. He is intentionally keeping silent to create an environment where his apostles can respond.”

“Did the Lord give you a promise?”

“No. That’s what Lucy guessed on her own.”

“You’re smart.”

“That’s right. How comfortable it would have been if someone like that had been our leader.”

When Garad mentioned the many hardships the warrior had caused, the warrior averted his gaze and coughed in vain.

“Anyway, I guess I’ll be staying here for a while.”

“That doesn’t matter, but what are you going to say to Lucy?”

“We will keep our existence a secret. We are not supposed to exist.”

“It’s hard for that child to rely on us, who are failures.”

The way the warriors went about it was not possible to save this world.

So Lucy had to fight in her own way, not as a warrior.

For his sake, it was better for Lucy not to know about the existence of these two.

“Okay, I understand. I’ll try to hide it as much as possible.”

“Thank you, Ruel.”

“But you know. Why is that kid suddenly putting on so much makeup?”

After hearing Garad’s questions, Ruel looked after Lucy, who had entrusted her body to Frete and Erin.

She was already beautiful, but the blessings of the goddess and the fairy queen were upon her, making her not only beautiful but also mysterious and awe-inspiring.

If Lucy, dressed like that, were to unleash her powers with her mouth shut, it wouldn’t be strange if someone shouted that the goddess had descended.

“You’ll know when you see it.”

Ruel knew everything, but he smiled mischievously on purpose.

I’m looking forward to seeing the shocked reactions of my friends in the future.
