Hyungkesuni hasn’t come into his space since yesterday until tonight.

Joanna’s gaze is warm.

I also think I was a bit too provocative at the end.

But at least we know something happened, right?

Because as soon as the black curtain created by Hukkeshni disappeared, Joanna woke up after hearing Hukkeshni’s voice and mine.

But it is also true that Hyukkesuni is being overly cautious.

Jerome doesn’t care much about me anymore.

Now, I see that he considers my actions of following him, taking the warmth of the offering, and bestowing blessings as work.

Surely, Hyukkesuni must have warned me about this, but it’s likely that he’s not listening. Or maybe he thinks that whatever happens to the Future Hope Church doesn’t matter, and that he just needs to hold out until the Anselus Kingdom falls.

Almost half a year.

The seasons changed twice.

I’ve learned a lot in between.

For example, about Jerome who called me.

His real name is Yasle. He held a fairly high position in the Yeongrang Church.

Yeongranggyoguk is the name of a country that was destroyed about 15 years ago. It was a theocratic political society that existed in the Arim jungle, located north of where I am now.

However, it was destroyed by a religious war. Many countries in the east believe in a religion called the Holy Spirit religion, but the Yeongrang Kingdom does not believe in that god. So, among them, the particularly devout Ansellus Kingdom led soldiers and started a war.

Just like the Crusades, they passed through the Kingdom of Cogni and completely destroyed the Church of Yeongrang.

And Yasle is that survivor.

A survivor filled with the desire to take revenge on the Kingdom of Ansellus.

After that, he built a primitive religion for the poor and the failed, and named his gods and created precepts.

It was done at an astonishingly fast pace. Among those who voluntarily became sacrifices, there were many who had been around before the name of the Future Hope Church existed.

For them, being a sacrifice to me was salvation.

No, of course it wasn’t really salvation. Strictly speaking, they were killed by religion. But at least they thought so until the moment of their death.

Since life was always miserable, the act of giving up one’s life for God in the end was actually a plus.

So, I looked into how Yasle created the Future Hope Church from various perspectives.

Among them, Andrew was one of the last to join. This group had already formed a huge cult.

But whatever it was, Andrew bowed his head and joined Yasle. I don’t know exactly what he was thinking at that moment.

But I told you, right?

Now, among those who receive my blessings, there is Andrew’s subordinate.

yes.

Andrew is thinking of getting rid of Yasle and absorbing this Future Hope Church himself. He secretly explained this to his followers.

So that’s what I know.

I don’t know if Yasle knows that or not.

But I know you’re not dealing with it.

All I know is that I’m pushing the blessed ones further into the kingdom of Ansellus.

Oh? But aren’t you putting too much in one place?

One more place. Was there a place where a blessed person was needed?

The Lasbe-Cogni Kingdom front is barely fighting anymore. They have set up positions quite a distance from the border and are searching the surrounding villages to find the Future Hope Church.

Because the blessed people who were waiting in the nearby village were caught and killed. And that too, several times.

If you think about it, you should push more people to the front line, but since winter came, no one has been going up north.

Rather, the Future Hope Church is becoming a public enemy. That’s why Witga is coming down with his favorite subordinate.

By the way, that subordinate is a blessed person to me. It’s none other than Isla. Although she’s actually young, she’s completely transformed into an adult. She’s following Witga around and learning well.

In addition, Wide leads many blessed people in the Kingdom of Ansellus.

This side wants to gather together people who are blessed in their own way and create a completely separate society.

When a person is blessed, their overall physical abilities are strengthened, and if they are lucky, they gain special abilities.

In simple terms, it’s Human 2.0.

It is not strange for humans who have been upgraded to a new version to seek higher positions. The Future Hope Church is also moving to make that happen.

So, as the blessed person grows from a soldier who only knows how to use force to a commander who can perform various abilities, the scope of my knowledge gradually expands.

So, there is something visible.

I can hear the Future Hope Bridge creaking.

Each person’s desires spread out however they want, and Yasle has no intention of strongly controlling them.

Because they probably think that if they can destroy the Ansellus kingdom, the rest will be fine.

The time has come for disposable tools to reach the end of their useful life.

Of course, destroying the Ansellus Kingdom seems quite difficult.

Because there is Tisha in the Kingdom of Ansellus.

The kingdom of Ansellus initially looked on with a skeptical eye as to the dangerous convert.

But Tisha’s good nature shone through.

A person who can not only do what needs to be done, but also act for the unfortunate. A good person shines brightly in an era where such a terrible war is taking place.

And most of all, I converted to Christianity.

From a dangerous convert, he grew into a man of the kingdom of Ansellus, and gradually into a hero.

Less than half a year.

But as Yasle’s offensive grew stronger, he fought many battles.

And although we lost many people, we also saved many others.

That’s orthodox.

The results of Yasle’s actions are there.

Is this what they call karma?

And beyond simply blocking Yasle’s offensive, here.

We’re planning to attack the underground temple in the Scard Rock Desert. Surprisingly, our main target isn’t the leader, Yasle.

That’s me.

Because the cost-effectiveness of the blessed person is so good. With just one sacrifice, a superhuman who can fight ten to a thousand people alone is randomly selected.

Anyone would try to destroy that production plant.

Even more so if it is a being whose identity is unknown.

I don’t know if I’ll die though.

Considering the device Yasle prepared to deal with me, it’s hard to believe that only Yasle has that technology.

There must be a device that can kill me.

Of course, I’ve thought about going over there, but at this point, with the sacrifices I’ve received, I’m likely out.

When religion gets involved, people become more conservative.

Otherwise, it would be dangerous because it would change too much. Just like when there are many mutations, it would quickly move away from the original species.

If you are too conservative, you will not be able to respond to change, and if you meet the wrong era, you will simply disappear.

Maintaining a large and powerful religion means that you are somewhat conservative. Plus, it is a world where there is an actual God, so you can hear His words.

yes.

Actually, there are a few people who remember hearing the word of God from the priest of the Holy Spirit Church whom I received as a sacrifice.

It wasn’t something I heard while under the influence of drugs or under a trance state through some special action. It was an unknown power called divine power.

At first I thought it was using magic. But after licking a lot of wizards and priests, I could see the difference.

For example, let’s say you do something with your hands. Then, if you’re a wizard, something flows out of your heart and goes to your hands. But if you’re a priest, something suddenly comes out of your head and flows out through your hands.

At least the mechanism of the ability is different.

It means there is a god.

And that’s likely to make me look unfavorable.

A monster that turns light black and steals warmth.

That’s me.

Even though I’m a foreigner, compared to those who appear in works featuring foreigners, I’m just a monster.

So, it seems difficult to survive by sticking to the Church of God.

But I’m really looking forward to seeing Tisha and the Ansellus Kingdom invade here.

A lot of people will die.

In other words, you can get a lot of warmth.

Hehehe.

If you look at the timing, many people will gather at the Scard Rock Desert and this underground temple at around the same time.

Of course, it is not impossible that we could be lucky enough to destroy the Ansellus Kingdom and invade other kingdoms.

It’s difficult given the circumstances.

First of all, there are too few people.

Of course, there are many believers in the Church of the Future Hope. However, very few of them are fanatics. Rather, they believe because of the environment. And most of the people who have recently grown up believe in the Church of the Future Hope, but hate it on the inside.

Because they exploit a lot of things in that town.

They say they will free us from the harsh rule of the lords, but they take more from us. Some villages actually have lords who are good people.

But the Future Hope Church’s warriors were all killed and liberated.

Yes, resentment grows. Ignorant violence doesn’t solve everything. In most cases, it makes things worse.

Basically, those who receive the blessing are those who are loyal to the Church of Hope for the Future. So, I cannot see it, but there will probably be many who will surrender when the Kingdom of Ansellus comes.

And there will be quite a few people who will rather thrust their swords into the ground.

Okay, now that it’s time, let me summarize briefly.

First, the Future Hope Church. The village around the underground temple is at its peak. People live while directly watching the blessed people demonstrate their supernatural powers. However, outside of that, things get worse.

The Kingdom of Lasve and the Kingdom of Cogni.

This side first changed course to a ceasefire and kill the Future Hope Church’s sect first. Of course, there were no official letters exchanged as a result of Witga’s work. Or, the letters were exchanged through a route that Witga didn’t know about.

Anyway, the north is gradually being blocked. So Witgar is coming to the Scard Rock Desert to request reinforcements.

Kingdom of Ansellus.

Currently, the main battlefield is being won by the Future Hope Church. Those who have been blessed by Wide are extremely powerful. It’s like a person with superpowers running wild in a medieval battlefield.

But in other places, the Future Hope Church is being cut off. Tactically, they are victorious, but strategically, they are being defeated.

First of all, I’m preparing a hammer attack centered around Tisha.

The point to attack is right here in the Scard Rock Desert.

The noose is tightening on all sides.

What choice will Yasle make?

What should I do about the hyungkesuni?

What would Andrew do in this situation?

I’m curious.

Time will take care of everything, so just wait.

“Joanna. Good night.”

“Yes, Rebecca. Have a nice dream.”

I lay quietly in bed.

Of course, instead of dreaming, I would rather see different people in real time!
