Maybe it was because I had been moving vigorously since morning, but I was out of my mind. My vision kept getting blurry, and my body kept trembling, as if remembering the pleasure from before.

Even though it was my body, I was in a strange situation where my words were not being listened to, so I had nowhere to vent, so all I could do was eat and listen to Kylon’s strategy.

“Well, what will the goddess do first? This is the most important… ”

Kylon stroked his chin and sighed.

As the end of his words became blurred, I could sense that he had a lot of worries and thoughts.

When the rattling noise subsided, Kailon glanced at the others and then opened his mouth.

“… Should we go head-on to catch the devil? It might be difficult to take a carriage here, but I walked to the tenth village. Let’s take a carriage there.”

“I don’t mind if it works.”

Kylon probably thought it would be best to catch the demon lord and run away rather than deal with the goddess anyway, and Linda immediately agreed.

After all, no one would want to confront God here.

He tried to break my spirit and take over my body, so I felt bad and wanted to fuck him because it was okay just once.

But it also has to be an opportunity and an ability.

It was clear that if I kept lingering over things that didn’t work out, this party would quickly fall into a quagmire and go down a path with no answers, so I nodded to Kailon’s words.

At the same time, Agnes’ question was asked.

“… So, are you leaving right after breakfast? On foot?”

“Yes. On foot.”

Kylon responded immediately, and Agnes closed her eyes and nodded as if she understood, then started eating again.

Meanwhile, Flora, who had been quiet, glanced at Kylon and opened her mouth.

“… Hmm. But you know. If it’s an evil spirit destroying the world, isn’t there a need to worship it in the Holy Kingdom?”

“… … Huh?”

Agnes, meditated by Flora’s voice, looked back at Flora with wide-open eyes.

Ignoring Agnes’ gaze, Flora opened her mouth as if she had been thinking a lot yesterday.

“If what Kylon says is true, we could all die soon, so if the world is heading towards destruction, wouldn’t there be a reason to listen to Seongguk?”

“What do you want to say?”

“I’m not saying something difficult. It is true that I have believed in God, because I thought this power was also a grace. However, I don’t think that the Pope will suddenly do something like this, tossing out Veronica, who was a saint, and inciting chaos.”

I felt good that Flora surprisingly seemed to take my side.

No, I should say it’s not my side, but Kylon’s side.

Agnes, the most faithful of the party, looked at Flora with a frown. But despite this, she continued speaking as if she would not change her opinion.

“What if… If I told you that you could win by connecting to a human body, would you do it?”

That question contained many meanings.

He was asking if he could fight, if he had the strength to face it, if he could step forward and fight.

I was asking if I could stand up to God and withstand the opposition of others.

Actually, going against God didn’t sound like a good idea.

God is God. He is the god who created this world, and as such, he was revered, so if he suddenly rebelled against it, other people would just rebel against him as well.

That’s what faith is.

It would be great to have objective faith, and to be able to solidify your faith again after looking at it from a step away.

Conversely, blind faith narrows your perspective. Also, if there were people who had different thoughts from their own, they tried to reject them.

That what you believe cannot be wrong.

Because that’s what I meant.

Well, how many people would easily accept it if everything they believed in was fake?

Since I believed what I wanted to believe in the first place, I had no intention of criticizing anyone.

So, in the end, we just believed what we believed and moved forward.

So I carefully shifted my gaze to Flora’s question.

I was curious about what Kylon was thinking.

No matter how much I progressed, it was clear that in the end I would not be able to demonstrate my power against a god other than the Demon King.

So I would have to rely on Kylon this time too.

There was no longer a need for a pectorale to be worn around the neck.

I couldn’t pray to anyone.

I just leave my heart to Kailon.

While there was silence at Flora’s last question, Kylon slowly opened his eyes.

“… Well, if that’s the case, it might be okay.”

What came out of Kylon’s mouth was a positive answer.

Agnes gaped in surprise at the voice telling her that she could fight, and Linda, who was next to her, was also looking at Kylon with her eyes wide open.

Now that I think about it, Kylon said he fought God once.

He only told me, but didn’t he decide that he could win after one fight when he could communicate with my body?

As he spoke, Kailon seemed to be becoming more and more confident as he continued speaking softly.

“The power of God cannot intervene directly. If you channel the power of God through a human body, it will definitely be overloaded. If it becomes a war of attrition, we will definitely have the advantage.”

“Then do you know how to fight?”

“… divinity. Use the arrow-shooting ability that Veronica used before.”

He answered Linda’s question silently and wiggled his eyebrows.

“Ability will probably change freely depending on your imagination. Of course, if you use too much power, it will overwhelm you and you won’t be able to last for long.”

“… So what happens to the devil?”

Agnes asked the question again, wondering if she had lost the strength to protest now, or if she had no time to stop him.

Even if you defeat God, no one knows what will happen.

It was possible for God to intervene and destroy the world. Or it could be that God no longer intervenes here and the world becomes one where God is not felt like the world I lived in.

Even if it was the latter, I thought that it would be impossible to avoid destruction the moment the devil’s army invaded a world where God’s care had disappeared.

Hmm, I groan.

“Okay, I’m not sure about that.”

Kailon put down his silverware, picked up the cup, and took a gulp of water.

“… Veronica, what do you think?”

“Uh, huh?”

Startled, I opened my eyes wide and looked at Kailon.

Because I didn’t expect him to talk to me in this situation.

At the same time, all eyes were on me.

Linda’s curious eyes, Agnes’ slightly subtle expression, and Flora’s determined look were directed at me.

It seemed as if I had the choice.

But that’s not right, is it? Kailon just asked because he wanted me to feel comfortable.

Still, I was left with the thought that my opinion would be of great reference, and I was left with a troubled feeling.

“… Me, I.”

Are you dealing with God or the devil?

It could be said that it was a very difficult problem.

If you were dealing with a god, the difficulty level could have been less than that of a demon lord.

As Kailon said, since it is an exercise of power through the human body, it was clear that there were limits to it.

Instead, the problem is that I can’t provide much help.

I can help with the Demon King battle. You can help by spreading the torch, but the problem is that unlike the goddess, there is no overload even if you use your strength to the limit.

That’s what it meant to win against the Demon King, who was at his best from start to finish.

Now there is no holy sword.

What choice should you make?

What happens after you hit a god?

In this situation where it matters whether I win or lose, I ask the question again.

Will it be okay? do.

“… Well, wouldn’t dealing with a goddess be the most likely option?”

When I think about it, I wasn’t even sure if there were any special benefits after catching the Demon King or not.

If that were the case, I thought it would be more likely to first kill the goddess who was making this situation more confusing, and if that could satisfy the conditions for returning home.

“Can I ask the reason?”

When Kylon asked softly, I nodded and carefully shifted my gaze.

“If things continue like this anyway, you never know what the goddess who got the Pope’s body will do… If you think about it, you’re not trying to completely eliminate the goddess, but you’re just closing the path through the Pope’s body… Wouldn’t it be better to reduce risk factors first?”

I felt like I couldn’t figure out if I was saying exactly what I was thinking or if I was just saying some strange nonsense.

The atmosphere becomes tense for a moment. Meanwhile, Flora opened her mouth.

“Yes. If it’s a god who causes such confusion because he doesn’t do things the way he wants anyway… I just think it’s the right thing to do”

Her voice was always soft, but as the moment of danger approached, her voice became extremely serious.

The sound of Kylon clapping his hands concluded with the thought of a new appearance.

“Then let’s do that.”

It seemed like it was created that way because three out of five people had the same idea.

Anyway, if you protest here, all you have to do is go out and antagonize this party. He seemed to think so.

The meal ended like that.
