Episode 289 – Children of God 22 –

“… I’m coming here.”

“Giggles. So, disciple? Why did you come here? What kind of stupid thing did you come here to do? Huh?”

The place we visited was special.

A time when Moju was noisy due to the saint’s trial.

A place that is relatively far from the attention of others.

Although I don’t know exactly where everyone is.

Having played WFS, I know the location.

The Pope’s residence.

I and Igrasil stood in front of him.

“The Pope’s regular residence area is also monitored with great security. This is his personal space. How did you find this space? Giggling.”

“Do you think it would be easier than suddenly finding out that the source of the neck’s demonic power is Daecheonsal, who learned the Demon Soul Sword Technique?”

“Giggle. That’s right!”

The security here is very tight.

It is used to not reveal the location of this place, similar to the express detention center.

Other than that, security isn’t that great.

Just as no one knows that I buried a piece of paper with the word Australopithecus written on it in my backyard.

If you don’t know the facts themselves, there’s no way you’ll be attacked.

They hid their location and fragmented them.

The only security system here was simple surveillance through a barrier and gazing through clairvoyance.

And that surveillance could easily be broken through with Ygrasil’s awakening device.

‘The only weakness is human surveillance. There are no physical shields here. Existing security will soon be eradicated.’

Excluding those procedures, the rest was simple.

Now all you have to do is enter the Pope’s residence.

Getting me in and out was also surprisingly simple.

I cannot wear the Aura of Ygrasil.

You can wrap things around it. The wrapped object becomes transparent when it touches his awakening stage.

In other words, if I wrap something like a poncho around my body, and Igrasil wraps the Auror around the poncho.

I also get that undetectable result.

Looking at it again, it is a period of awakening at a deceptive level.

Originally, most mysteries are no different from fraud from a non-mysterious perspective.

“So what kind of operation is this? Giggling. What kind of operation was it that you said you were going to cut off the Pope’s head? Huh?”

“It’s hard to tell the exact reason. Still, if I had to make my own excuse… Doesn’t the Pope deserve to die for neglecting the Holy Imperial Palace in seclusion?”

It’s hard to say exactly though.

He doesn’t care if he dies now.

As long as I have it.

The cause of his seclusion will be prevented for sure.

“Giggles It’s been a long time since I killed such a high-ranking person. Giggling~”

Igrasil smiled and said that it was really good.

Although he is extremely vicious.

That’s just due to the nature of death.

It’s not that there are no emotions.

Just like when a human being is hungry, no matter how good he or she is, he or she wants to steal food.

For someone with a natural instinct to kill, murder can be seen as something like this.

At the very least, there is room to see that it is preferable to kill morally corrupt people.

Even though the Pope appears to the outside world to be noisy inside the Holy Imperial Palace.

The situation is neglected due to inactivity.

This may be because he looks like an incompetent person who keeps his position without actually coming down.

“Lululu~ How miserably the elder who is the pinnacle of the Holy Hwangcheong and respected by all must die~”

is not it?

It was like that in the past, but after it was sealed, my thoughts may have changed.

In 500 years, it will be time for Tyrannosaurus to evolve into Spinosaurus.

This can be happen.

“Let’s go in first.”

Anyway, that’s something that can be considered later.

I slowly opened the door and went in.

Takㅡ

When I opened the door, what I saw was dull darkness.

Lanterns placed here and there softly illuminated the room, but it did not change the fact that it was dark.

“It’s truly amazing. His Holiness the Pope. Who would have thought that the highest-ranking person in Seonghwangcheong with the name given to him by his parents would have fallen like this.”

slowly. We moved forward, spreading the word.

The room was slightly brightened by the light coming in from outside the door.

And the shadow cast on my face by the backlight.

A shadow drawn into the center of the room.

“You know that, right? What is the current state of Seonghwangcheong? Because of what happened in the demonic world of work, seeds of distrust sprouted from outside. There are signs of division internally.

I wouldn’t know if you were still active. You’re not even that, are you? I just stayed in my room and didn’t leave my seat. That’s why we came here.”

The story is repeated over and over again, as if asking the Pope to listen to it.

“Of course, it had to be that way. It’s the magic world of work. Those of you who know the truth inside have no choice but to hide it. In the end, even if you pursue profit, you are not a ruthless person who would risk your own safety and the well-being of the world.”

The source of the evil spirit of work has not been revealed to the public.

The origin of that place is a secret even to the royal family.

There are times when even adults do not know the truth of the situation.

The severity was indescribable.

-Kick. But how on earth do you know its identity? It sounds like you know what it is, right?

I know it all.

Know.

What is it? Why did you do that?

It is the first demonic realm created.

What exactly is the Demonic Sutra that was finally revealed to mankind?

“The embodiment of sin.”

Emperor of the Empire.

Demon Emperor of the Republic.

Pope of the Holy Imperial Palace.

The source of the demonic world that only these people know.

That’s right. The embodiment of sin.

This is the final boss of WFS.

“I know what you were worried about. You must have been afraid. There was no way to know what would happen to Seonghwangcheong and its people.”

He continued speaking as he approached slowly.

As my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I slowly began to see the doll.

A doll believed to be the Pope was lying on the bed.

It was plain for a bed belonging to the head of a large ideological group the size of a country.

And his eyes and mine greeted each other.

“So, how about you feel free to leave now?”

Now it was time to say the last word.

“I will take that position.”

His era is no longer needed.

He is no longer needed on this earth.

because. The pinnacle of Seonghwangcheong.

The Pope is the most sacred position that a being who was not chosen by God can reach.

The man currently in that position is.

“… Everyone. Did you know?”

Because I was dying.

Tudungㅡ

Suddenly, the light in the room turned on and there was light.

For a moment, my eyes were dazzled, as if a heavenly god had created the world in the beginning.

The man’s body revealed in that way was very primitive.

The body was so emaciated that it looked like a mummy was moving.

My hair had almost fallen out, like a patient who had undergone chemotherapy, and what was left was dull.

The eyes had lost their vitality and the pupils were about to open.

The deep wrinkles on his skin showed why he was inactive.

“70,000 to 2,000 people died. At that time, I was trying to attack the devilish side of work. They are not even laypeople. They were all high-ranking clergy who had been ordained as priests.”

“I know. Even bishops and cardinals among them. There were adults too.”

“At that time, everyone died and the only ones left were the two cardinals… ”

“Besides, your physical condition is not normal either.”

The embodiment of sin.

Seong Hwang-cheong sets out to deal with him, who is the final boss in WFS.

In the end, we lost 80% of our manpower.

It literally suffered annihilation.

Even the majority of the people who went there were high-ranking priests.

The damage was severe.

Those who survived after the event ended.

with fourteen bishops.

Two cardinals.

One Pope.

And a saint of spirit.

All the rest died there.

Only a few survived.

“… Do you blame me?”

“No? You did your best. This is the result of somehow twisting your body in a situation where you were on the verge of death, right? If you die, there will be more people who will act recklessly. They must have tried to stop it.”

As the number of cardinals decreased, cardinals had to share even the duties of bishops.

As the number of bishops decreased, unproven people had to take on the bishop’s work.

It is absolutely impossible to have responsibility but not be given authority.

Because of this, a situation arose where people who had not been verified by the Holy Hwangcheong ended up becoming bishops.

Even though the Pope is in a situation where he may die due to the devilish circumstances of work.

I tried to survive somehow.

Cardinals are not yet allowed to become popes.

The position of cardinal is one that an unproven person can never occupy.

Even though it raised the bishop’s authority to a level similar to that of a cardinal.

This was the reason bishops could not become cardinals.

“If you die, one of the remaining cardinals will become Pope. Then a cardinal will be chosen.”

“New popes tend to have weak political power… ”

“Don’t worry. That won’t happen anymore.”

It was clear what he was worried about.

Therefore, I will ease his burden.

“So, leave this difficult life. Far away. Go to the heavenly god. Because you deserve it.”

“No matter how much it is you, I can’t just trust you.”

Even after seeing us, he didn’t let his guard down until the end.

Even though it is a body that will not be strange even if it dies at any time. He could fight for his beliefs at any time.

If only his body were a little normal.

WFS, of course.

Many of the tragedies I would have prevented would not have occurred.

In the end, he went into hiding to survive a little bit.

Because it was the beginning of all tragedies.

“… But I will believe it.”

The question arises as to how to persuade him.

He seemed to have a change of heart and showed trust in us.

“No alarm was sounded in this land. This is proof that you have disabled security. At this rate, there must be an easier way to confuse the Holy Emperor.

And I’m already dying. Even the slightest threat from you will kill me. But you guys are trying to convince me. I’m trying to believe this.”

Let’s take a look at his words and his actions so far.

Certainly, there would have been more if we had tried to threaten Seonghwangcheong.

He didn’t trust us.

They believed in our actions.

“Haaa… What a relief. Still, I get to meet people like you before I die. I don’t know what you’ll do… You are the one who entered this space. I believe it will be possible.

I hope your tomorrow will be peaceful… ”

Goodbyeㅡ

He finished saying hello with difficulty.

I fell into a long sleep.

The withered body became one with the bed.

Although no blood flowed.

That day, the world lost a great man.

Although it was difficult to call him a nobleman.

At least that individual will be considered a nobleman.

Because I shook off all my regrets about life and flew away.

This death for him.

It’s a good thing.
