The disaster that occurred in a city left many victims, but it was not just victims.

The disaster that nearly destroyed the city served as a warning to other countries.

If they ignore the apostle’s words and act however they want, they too may end up like that.

One mistake can destroy a city.

The reason the Apostle can easily conquer dungeons is simply because he is so great. It is by no means because the dungeons are easy.

At John’s request, Caria collaborated with the Arts Society to spread this awareness as quickly as possible, and thanks to this, within a few days, the people of the continent learned just how fearsome the minions of the evil god were.

When even the leaders of each country began to feel uneasy, John contacted them.

In the name of the Church that has given us salvation, I declare that there will be no salvation twice.

If the same disaster repeats itself, the apostle may not help you.

Compassion doesn’t last forever.

Even if the apostle were to save you, it would not be a gratuitous act.

At first, each country took this as a simple warning, but when they saw the upper echelons of the Lord’s Church, including John, mobilize all their resources to pressure a country and punish them for their sins, they understood that it was not a simple warning.

And I have also come to realize that the influence that the church you gave me today is amazing.

Because I saw that even in a situation where religion was threatening the nation, there was no resistance.

The people shouted that the church and the apostles were right.

Many nobles also condemned the state for failing to stop the city’s atrocities.

And other nations also tacitly agreed with the actions of the Church.

They had no choice but to agree. If they rebelled, they would be the ones to be struck next.

By the time one nation had been fully held accountable, other nations had chosen to side with them instead of condemning the Church that had given them the authority.

Even now, when the war against evil spirits is ongoing, the Lord’s church still has such authority.

What a great name you will have when it’s all over.

If there had been opposition from other religions, they would have considered various possibilities, but as if they had agreed in advance, the various religions sided with the Church of God.

So, many countries had to respect the will of the church that was given to them.

As the country declared that it would actively support the church and not go against their wishes, Lucy’s dungeon raid speed increased even further.

The dungeon raid continued for a few more days and then came to an end at some point.

On that day, the apostle of the Lord spoke to those who believed in him:

Now the moment has come when we must fight.

The day when evil spirits descend upon this land is not far off.

So, get ready.

War in the age of myth.

The public opinion manipulation that Caria and John created through their collaboration was astonishing.

No matter how strong the power of religion, there was a strong perception that the country and religion were separate, but at some point they became the same, and after a certain point, it got to the point where no one could stop the church that gave the country even if it openly criticized a country.

I just watched from afar, but the atmosphere was tense. It was like a revolution could happen if you took one wrong step.

If I hadn’t gone in the middle and lightened the mood a bit, would someone have raised the flag?

Perhaps it was because I set a good example for them once. Rather than making useless attempts, many countries always did their best to support me.

Lately, wherever I go, I feel like I’ve been treated so lavishly that it’s almost burdensome, so to speak.

There were times when nobles from each country would bother me, as if they wanted to get to know me, but my friends would cut them off.

“Are you a member of Count Amanu? I recommend you disappear before I tell you all the wrongdoings you’ve committed.”

Joy showed off her openly villainous side, with her blonde hair flying.

“If you keep doing this, there will be significant problems with distribution.”

Arthur laughed and suppressed the opponent that Joy could not suppress with a political issue.

“I am sorry, but I must politely decline. The apostle is very tired.”

Faby smiled and sent away the person she could talk to nicely.

“If you come any closer, you die.”

Frey threatened with murderous intent those who could not be overcome with reason.

Thanks to this, I’ve never once had trouble with people while traveling around various countries and clearing dungeons.

Of course, it’s not like I stopped people from praising me, but since other people’s cheers continued, at some point I got used to it.

Should we say that it has become natural to be supported by others?

I’m not sure if I should say that I’m curious about how long these guys will keep doing this, but one thing is for sure.

I’m no longer that shy little kid who feels embarrassed when someone compliments me!

I overcame it completely!

“Apostle Sister! You’re so amazing!”

I flinched and froze at the child’s smile, then chuckled and coughed when I felt someone’s earnest gaze inside my mace.

‘What! If you have any complaints, just tell me!’

‘I already told you, but you didn’t say anything! Ha! How sinister of a priest!’

After bickering with my grandfather and returning to the holy land, I met Caria, who had been waiting for me.

Lately, he’s been coming to see me every day to report on this and that.

Judging from the fact that he was reciting in detail things that he would not have mentioned before, it was clear that he was worried about me too.

Although the old woman’s nagging was annoying, I understood that it was wrong to stop people who were trying to help me, so I didn’t bother to stop Caria.

“Madam. What useless stuff have you come to tell me today?”

“What a useless piece of crap. Is this a proper report?”

“Haa. Yes. I guess so. It’s really daunting to think about dealing with a lonely lady with no one to talk to.”

“Stop talking nonsense and just watch this. This time, we have something really important to talk about.”

“Then, you’re saying that what you’ve been reporting so far wasn’t that important. Auntie? Hehe. Were you that lonely? Do you actually just turn over the blanket and sob every night?”

“Are you tearing this?”

I snatched the paper from Caria’s hands and checked what was written on it.

Recent trends in large dungeons. Stories about the movements of believers who worship evil gods. Volcanic activity. Several incidents that occurred near the sea.

And most of all, the seals of Agra, the evil spirits, were recently recovered by the Pope himself.

“Everyone is here. Just as the employer expected.”

It was possible to stop the Pope from retrieving the fragments.

The location where the fragments are sealed is fixed, so if you wait there, you can get in his way as much as you want.

However, the reason I left him alone was to avoid creating variables.

The Pope must resurrect the evil god Agra, just as he did in the game.

After the evil gods’ minions on the earth awaken one by one and disasters occur here and there on the earth, the evil gods sealed in each large dungeon must break their seals and reveal themselves, dyeing the world black and making a grand entrance.

So that I can play with that guy.

“While researching this in detail, I found out that there have been several incidents that have been beyond the employer’s control. It turns out that they were committed by the Pope’s people.”

“Of course. Would that disgusting psychopathic bastard just sit still?”

“The employer is speaking as a matter of course. You are serving that bastard, aren’t you? Is it okay for him to openly do something that goes against his faith?”

“You were thinking about that? You really have no sense. That’s why you’ve been living alone all this time.”

“…Can you just explain without blaming?”

“Think about it. That lunatic never thought about what would happen to the swindlers on Earth in the first place.”

Don’t be mistaken.

The Pope does not believe in the will of God.

It is even less about showing mercy to this world.

He says he changed his mind, but in reality he is no different than before.

Having lost his sense of death, he is no different from a little boy living forever in the past.

“If that idiot doesn’t believe in God, what does he believe in?”

“You’re a disgusting and disgusting stalker.”

“Stalker?”

“Don’t you know what a stalker is? They’re perverts who think they love each other and cause trouble by deluding others.”

The Pope only unilaterally loves the being called God.

Yes, it is love.

His heart is nothing but a slimy, sticky love, not a faith or belief.

It is a case of pushing forward one’s own opinion after fantasizing about it out of curiosity in order to help the god who one believes saved one.

It doesn’t matter whether the other person wants it or not.

A crazy psychopath doesn’t care about such things.

He already believes that it will be helpful, and that the other person is also secretly hoping for it.

Even if you don’t want it right now, I think you’ll understand when it’s all over.

“The only thing a psychopath loves is a fucking pervert. Do you think he cares what happens to other guys?”

It doesn’t matter if everyone on earth dies.

It’s okay if disaster strikes in the midst of the chaos that arises when many gods and concepts themselves disappear.

So what if it becomes an irreversible situation?

In the end, if the Pope can give everything to the one he loves, he will be satisfied with that.

Even if that’s not what you want.

“Excuse me, employer.”

“What is it?”

“Maybe the reason why the employer attracts many perverts is because he is the disciple of the Lord?”

“…Huh?”

“Look. Even the great Lord is being entangled with a pervert like the Pope. Maybe it’s because of the Lord’s divinity.”

…Huh?

Is that so?

Is that so?

Are you saying that the main culprit behind all the disgusting people like idiots and perverts surrounding me is you?

I guess I should add one more line to the Book of Grudges.

After everything is over, I’m going to tease you a lot. A lot. A lot. I’m going to tease you a lot.

“What the. Enough with the lady’s delusions. Let’s have a proper conversation.”

“Ah. Okay. It’s starting soon, right?”

“Agra will be resurrected soon.”
