It’s chilly even during the day now.

To that extent, the hems of the clothes of the wandering church members have become much longer and thicker.

As so much time has passed, there have been many changes in this world.

First of all, there are over 200 people who have been blessed. In other words, it means that I have 200 channels to watch.

Of course I’m watching everything.

I used to think that there would be a limit once there were over a hundred people, but there really was no limit.

I don’t get a headache or lose focus when I watch them at the same time. I don’t feel like my strength is diminishing either.

To be honest, I’m giving away my strength for free.

It’s weird.

He said that he would take all the power back someday. That means that until then, he has to share his capital. But no matter how much he shares, his power shows no sign of diminishing.

So I came up with a new hypothesis.

I don’t use force, I just connect. The force itself may be something that draws on that person’s strength and uses it.

I just awaken the power that person originally possessed.

Then, we can understand why each person’s power is expressed differently.

However, in this case.

From the works I know, it seems like there would be a shortening of lifespan or the loss of something important, but I don’t see any of those symptoms.

But it hasn’t even been a year since I came to this world. It’s hard to tell if my lifespan has shortened.

So at this point, we still can’t figure it out.

I was a huge ocean under the water, so why not give me to everyone and still have enough?

We’ll find out someday.

And the second change.

Andrew’s men joined in one by one.

Unfortunately, no additional warm-up events were held.

3 people + 1 person per day. I hinted at an additional serving of 1 person, but they probably thought 200 people was still not enough, so they didn’t prepare a separate offering and approached me.

Just one of those three was Andrew’s subordinate.

When I give a blessing and turn the light black, I copy all of that person’s memories and bring them with me. So, no matter what the intention is, as long as I am blessing you, it is completely visible to me.

Of course, if your memories have been manipulated, hypnotized, or otherwise messed with by some means, then how would it look?

This could be my weakness, so I think I should remember it and check it out.

Now the third change.

They attacked the Church of Hope for the Future in the Las Vegas Kingdom, located to the west of where I am.

But Jerome was one step ahead.

He led his army to the villages of the Cogni Kingdom in the east. Of course, half of those villages were taken over by the Church of Future Hope.

A town that converts people, forces the townspeople to kill those who refuse, and makes people watch each other.

And the other half were ordinary villages in the Kingdom of Cogni, villages that had just started to preach or had not yet done so.

The army of the Las Vegas Kingdom attacked indiscriminately.

Why?

If something like a terrorist attack happens a few times in a town, wouldn’t the whole town become untrustworthy?

So the Lasbe Kingdom massacred everyone in every village, and as a result, they clashed with the Cogni Kingdom.

If we have reason, the right choice would be to unite and deal with the pseudo-religion called the Future Hope Church first.

But among those who have my blessing, there are some who can use techniques similar to brainwashing.

If there is only one person at the head, then induction is simple.

Just once.

Once you start a fight, there’s no stopping it.

Too much blood has already been spilled, either on the person who killed them or from the person who died.

yes.

The Kingdom of Lasve and the Kingdom of Cogni are on the verge of war.

The reason I know this is simple: more than half of the people I have blessed are working on this operation.

However, it was not Hieronymus who was conducting.

The person who commands my blessed people is none other than a man named Witgar. I thought he was just an instructor. In terms of the country, he would be like the Minister of Education?

He was the one who taught martial arts, tactics, and even strategy.

But if you can teach that, I think you can actually operate it well.

So I took the person who had my blessing with me and gave him orders. I used him like a general.

It’s hard to understand each command individually, but I can see and hear most of them, and once I see them in action, I can figure out what Witgar did.

Hieronymus’s subordinates are amazing.

The four people who were directly under Jerome at that time.

One of them was Andrew, so I thought he was also dreaming of betrayal, but that wasn’t the case.

He works diligently. Hieronymus also has an excellent subordinate.

Everything is going smoothly so far, but the Kingdom of Lasve and the Kingdom of Cogni are going to war with each other.

If war breaks out, the two countries will now be busy worrying about each other.

Then, there will come a time when you can focus your efforts on the kingdom of Ancellus, who is presumed to be the enemy of Jerome.

These are the three big changes.

There are other small changes as well.

For example, this.

“Wow! It’s the Apostle!”

“Please bless me too! Blessing!”

“Apostle, you’re the best!”

Right now, about 3 meters in front of me, outside a fence-like area, I see children, probably under the age of 10, waving at me.

Behind them, the adults who appear to be parents are praying with their hands together.

yes.

The zoo beast debuted.

About 15 minutes.

It’s a matter of showing your face.

Hieronymus just made this last week.

He said it was a simple task of going and showing his face to the believers, but honestly, in my heart, I feel like an animal locked in a zoo cage.

I’m glad that my guard has been reduced a lot.

Thanks to you, my life has become more comfortable.

But isn’t it too much to throw me in a place with so much warmth? Compared to the baby that was sacrificed last time, the light is bigger, and the warmth is just as big as the light.

No, it’s because there are so many examples, but if you’re too young, there’s a lack of warmth compared to the light.

Around 7 or 8 years old? That’s when the warmth in your heart matches the size of the light in your heart.

So, does warmth increase with intelligence?

I wish there were more, but I still don’t know what they are.

But warmth is so good. Without even thinking about it, it can make this endlessly cold chill go away a little.

It was around the time when I was killing time like that.

A child climbed up the fence.

The adults who were praying behind them scream.

No, why is this really the reaction to seeing a child climbing over the fence at the zoo?

The child jumped over the fence in an instant.

And then he runs to me, shouting, “Apostle!”

But I stayed still, because Joanna, who was quite far away, was approaching at a tremendous speed.

And before she could reach me, Joanna picked up the child. The child was struggling to get out of Joanna’s arms.

Is that why you want to meet me?

Hmm.

I think about Jerome’s intention.

They said it was an apostle of God and put it on display.

I guess it was meant to be something like a saint role-play.

They said I could just come and wave or say hello, but I think every day is a bit too many times to go out with a mystical concept.

Or test me.

huh.

Then you have to pass the test.

I got up from my seat and walked over to the child. The child struggled to get out of Joanna’s arms, then looked at me and smiled.

Joanna put strength into her arms, then looked up at the child’s expression and looked at me. A girl with no expression was walking towards her.

Strength returns to Joanna’s arms again.

And then he tried to hold the child back and hide it from me.

So I pointed to the child.

No, of course Joanna’s response was right. But I thought she was feeling like a child to me, and seeing as she was trying to hide the child behind me, I guess that wasn’t really the case?

Well, I am a beast that eats people.

Joanna stopped.

But his arms are full of strength and he holds the child tightly. He tries to resist coming towards me.

Do you think you shouldn’t touch me?

But I pointed it out. Joanna is the one who can’t do anything. In the meantime, I got right in front of her.

And I put my hand on the child’s cheek. It’s soft. If I just stretch out a little, I can get some warmth. A fairly large light. But a very small warmth in comparison.

I want to take it away.

But bear with it.

“It’s dangerous, so don’t jump over the fence. Got it?”

The child looks at the hand on his cheek with a creepy expression and trembling eyes. Huh? Does the child feel threatened?

And the child nodded very slightly.

I spoke to Joanna, who was stroking the child’s head and looking back and forth between me and the child.

“Please send the child back.”

“Yes, Rebecca.”

Joanna took the child in her arms and went to the fence, where she handed the child back to the woman who was stamping her feet.

As soon as the woman, who appeared to be the mother, received the child, she immediately hit the child’s head with a hammer and hugged him. And the child started crying.

The gazes from those around them are half envious and half jealous.

But no one looks at me with fear.

Hehehe.

Is this what Jerome wanted?

I waved to the people in the church who were looking at me and went inside. The warmth I could feel at my fingertips lingered.

Oh, what a pity.

But this is just one step.

Your guard against me will be weakened.

I hope Jerome will think of me as harmless and accept my blessing.

I want to have the knowledge that brought me into this world.
