Chapter 76 – 76. Each other’s shadows
“hmm.”
After the debate ended, I left the venue without a moment of hesitation.
It was the exact opposite of when I came in.
No one booed me or threw trash at me.
All I could do was stare blankly, as if the shock had not gone away.
After demonstrating divine power, there was virtually no discussion. Because no opinions could be expressed from the other side.
Since they clearly showed me the proof that the God they believed in and followed had chosen me, I literally became dumb and had no choice but to keep my mouth shut.
Because they know that confronting me ultimately means opposing the God they believe in.
It could be said that it would have been wiser to keep quiet.
If you make fun of it now and say it’s pointless, you might end up making an irreversible statement later.
‘That was boring.’
In the end, it ended because it was boring. I thought there might be some novel remarks or opinions that would be perfect for ridicule.
There might not be a conclusion right away, but it was obvious looking at the current atmosphere.
In the end, the Griffin Kingdom will have no choice but to accept me.
“Kiya, I’m tired!”
“good job.”
When we came back into the waiting room, Findeneye and Deia were smiling the same way. I passed by the two people who were holding out their hands for a high five and sat down on a chair.
“Whoa.”
As Findeneye and Deia were exhaling and conserving their mana, they felt awkward and gave each other a high five with their raised hands.
There was no time to worry about the two people right now. Because of the divine power that was disturbing her body, it was necessary to reestablish her mana.
[Ooh.]
Right away, the dark spirit could not even approach me and was looking at me worriedly from a distance, and Deia and Findenia also seemed to realize that something was wrong.
“what? what’s the matter.”
“Has God’s judgment really fallen on the owner? “He misused his name?”
“Yunan, don’t be nervous.”
Black magic is known to be the opposite of divine power, but in reality, that is not the case.
It is literally just one of the disciplines of magic. However, since it deals with souls and corpses, it is only rejected by religion.
It wasn’t that a warlock couldn’t coexist with divine power.
Therefore, the reason why divine power is running wild inside me right now is not because I am a warlock.
‘I drank too much raw divine power.’
The real reason I sent Arya and Findenai to find the Holy Grail.
Although it was used to subdue Griffin’s evil spirits, it was actually intended to persuade Griffin’s people.
No matter how good my performance is, even if I use excellent words and tell them the truth.
In the end, no one trusts anyone because of the hatred that began and took root over a long history.
In that case, I had no choice but to make him believe it.
‘Just by holding the Holy Grail, Deia could use divine power.’
If you pour wine into a chalice and turn it into holy water and drink it, you can temporarily control divine power.
Since the sacred power of the Holy Grail was not used indirectly, but was used after being absorbed into the body, the side effects were serious.
‘I won’t be able to use it often.’
My breathing stabilizes.
Findenai was wiping away the cold sweat with a handkerchief she had brought out as a maid.
“done.”
“What happens? “An opportunity like this doesn’t come often.”
I said it was okay, but Findenai didn’t stop and continued wiping my sweat and bringing me a separate water bottle.
As I was drinking water and clearing my stomach, I heard a knock on the door outside.
When Deia goes and opens the door, she gasps and suddenly turns her gaze towards me.
I turned my back and looked around, and there I saw a silver-haired saint calmly coming inside.
“what.”
Finden Eye is right in front of you.
Even though it seemed as if she would bring an ax at the slightest irritation, the saintess did not back down at all.
“I would like to have a brief conversation with the Commander-in-Chief.”
With a more polite attitude than expected and a direct mention that he would accept the position of memorial envoy, Finden Eye secretly confirmed my intention.
When I responded with a glance that it was okay, Deia and Findeneye let me go outside on their own.
“Whoa! Whoa! go away!”
“Oh, get out! “Grandpas who smell like perfume.”
Looking at it, it looks like the bishops who followed the saint were standing outside the door, and after the two people shooed them away like flies, the door closed.
thud.
The closed door is heavier than expected.
Lucia slowly pulled a chair over and sat down gracefully opposite me.
Looking at that scene, I couldn’t help but laugh.
“It’s an extension of Mersenne.”
“Ugh! Then, please use the same courtesy as before.”
Lucia’s expression slightly distorted as if she was thinking the same thing as me. But she quickly clears her throat and loses control of her emotions.
“That’s Okay. I’ll go straight to the point. “How did you use your divine power?”
“Didn’t I tell you? “God chose me.”
“really… … .”
Lucia glared at me venomously, then stood up and placed her hand on my shoulder.

I wondered what this was, but like meat attached to a bone, the divine power that remained within me was naturally absorbed into her.
“Divine power is not necessarily a kind power. “The power given by God comes with a certain responsibility.”
“hmm.”
Lucia realized right away that I was not chosen by God.
She sat down again and sighed, her eyes filled with strange emotions.
“You succeeded. “I was curious about how you would persuade the people, but I had no idea you would pass that role on to us.”
“I just left it to the church because it is something they are good at. “Isn’t everything well put together and resolved through God’s will?”
“Off.”
It is their specialty to solve things with God’s will, even if they are stubborn. Lucia doesn’t make any excuses, as if she doesn’t intend to deny it, but looks at me with a frown.
The gaze was closer to pity than hostility, so I asked honestly.
“Don’t you hate me?”
She denied the foundations of religion and took actions that threatened the position of a saint.
Actually, when I thought about it, I thought it wouldn’t be strange if he threatened me with divine power.
Lucia’s shoulders slumped as she exhaled.
“Honestly, I can’t praise the method, but… … “I agree that the Griffin Kingdom needs you.”
It is the saint who is fighting at the forefront of strange phenomena more than anyone else.
In fact, he was someone who knew better than anyone else how vulnerable the Griffin Kingdom was to evil spirits, and how their influence was gradually growing.
“The incidents caused by the awakened dead are getting worse. Griffin, who is ignorant of evil spirits, must be able to prepare for them as quickly as possible.”
“Surprisingly.”
To be honest, when I expressed my impressions, Lucia tilted her head in return.
“yes?”
“I didn’t know you would approve of me so easily. “Didn’t the citizens say in the debate that they couldn’t accept me?”
“If I don’t stand on the people’s side, they have nowhere to turn.”
“… … .”
“Don’t hate them too much for their ignorance.”
The unexpected answer made me close my mouth for a moment without realizing it.
I never thought a saint would say something like that. But she said with a faint smile.
“But don’t misunderstand that I hate the people. “I love them more than anything.”
okay.
So you’re hoping they’re ignorant.
You can’t be happy if you know too many things. Knowledge opens up thinking and can sometimes lead to unwanted responsibilities.
Like the current saint.
“For my love, I just hope they never see the many abysses of the continent.”
Lucia’s gaze falls to the floor in bitterness. But that only lasts for a moment, and he suddenly raises his head and continues the story.
“I’ll just make sure and leave. “Maybe the church will recognize you.”
“Yes, I guess so.”
In the end, I have no choice but to acknowledge myself as someone who wields divine power. Even if it was just a one-time thing and a fraud using a holy object called the Holy Grail.
They were confident that they would remain silent for the rest of their lives.
“As I said before, I don’t really like your methods. “But I will take a stand in defense because you need me.”
If it were guaranteed by a saint who uses the same divine power, it would be much more persuasive.
“But everyone serves God, and even if they are the same believers, their thoughts, beliefs, and beliefs are different.”
“… … .”
“What this means is that radical hardliners may move… … No, I will definitely move.”
“Yes, I guess so.”
They will label me as a heretic, mocking God, or a fraud to suit their tastes and come out aggressively.
The Griffin Kingdom will experience unprecedented chaos for a while.
Confrontation between those who believe in God and those who do not.
Also, different conflicts will continue among those who believe in God.
I will be at the center of it all.
“It’s growing pains.”
When such confusion was dismissed with just one word, the saint was displeased, but did not deny it in any way.
“I’m doing it because the word has come out. “Wouldn’t that have been too extreme a method?”
“… … .”
“Although necessary, citizens are shocked and confused. “No one has the right answer, but we will fight and search for the answer.”
Lucia rubs her forehead, saying she is already worried.
“I don’t have much time to solve the mysterious phenomenon of evil spirits. To mediate civil chaos… … .”
He shook his head, feeling dizzy, but I said calmly.
“You must be misunderstanding something.”
“… … yes?”
“That’s what you have to do.”
She does not have the title of saint for nothing. Isn’t this the face of chaos on the continent and the peace of its citizens?
“I know.”
Did it sound like a reprimand asking why you were complaining about something like that? I correct my words a little.
“In the first place, the case of the evil spirits was not yours to solve. What you were doing would have been to destroy them with divine power.”
“uh… … Yes.”
As soon as they are touched by divine power, weak evil spirits are instantly destroyed. Literally a natural enemy.
But can we really say that the solution was right?
“Evil spirits were originally people too.”
“… … .”
When I revealed the truth that she had been forcing her eyes to look away from, the saint kept her mouth shut.
I opened my mouth to say I knew, but no words came out. Even if he knew, all he could do in the end was forced extinction.
“Why? A divine power that heals and warmly embraces living people. “Why are they so hostile to the dead?”
“that… … .”
I receive the words from Lucia, who is speechless and unable to answer.
“That’s because it was used for the wrong purpose.”
This is a setting that doesn’t even appear in the game. I’m simply saying what I felt while living in this world.
“Because divine power is for the living, not the dead.”
“… … .”
“Even though it was necessary, you could say that I’ve been using it very wrongly.”
“Then what about the evil spirits? How do the dead… … .”
“I’m there, right?”
I make clear eye contact with Lucia’s blue eyes.
Divine silver hair and clear sapphire eyes. She truly had an appearance worthy of being called a saint.
“Commissioner. “I am the comforter of the dead.”
“… … .”
“I think I am walking a similar path as you, a saint.”
The saint comforts the living and gives them hope. She gives me courage to go further.
“Saint Lucy, join your hands for the living. Pray to your god.”
I listen to the stories of the dead. We push them one last step so that they can finally let go of everything and close their eyes.
“I will cry for the dead.”
Listen to their stories and let go of their resentment and resentment. If there is an evil spirit who crosses the boundary between life and death and harms the living, he will be made to pay the corresponding penalty.
Lucia chuckled after hearing what I said.
“Iknow, right. “We end up doing the same thing.”
However, the target was different.
