Visit (3)
A clash between Heinrich, who visited as a guest, and Walter, a saintly warrior belonging to the Quilladia Order.
But fortunately for some, the assault… no, the fight was bound to end before long.
“Brother Heinrich, please calm down first…”
“Stop! Over there! Stop falling!”
“Stop! Direct armed conflict outside of formal duels is prohibited within the Pantheon!”
To begin with, this incident did not occur in a place with few people, but took place openly in front of the committee building.
Although quarrels arising from quarrels were not uncommon here, it was a different story when they crossed the line and escalated into fights.
Heinrich only had a moment to act before the interference came.
But that short time alone was enough to instill courtesy into the other person’s body.
As a result, no one took issue with the incident itself, even though one person lost consciousness and had to be rushed to the hospital.
People were surprised to see that Heinrich, who was famous only for his immense divine power, was able to overwhelm a master-level saint fighter with just brute force.
This was because the fact that Walter had not only started the fight but had also struck first became widely known, given the location.
“Did you hear that? I heard there was another incident at the Quiladia Church.”
“Again? I’m not even tired of it anymore. What’s the difference between those scoundrels and the devil worshippers···.”
“I’m cooperating with the Pantheon’s will. If I throw them out for no reason and they join Pandemonium, it’ll be even more troublesome.”
“It’s been said that internal enemies are more dangerous than external enemies. Well, there’s a saying that you should keep your enemies close. It might be less risky to keep them within sight and manage them.”
“This case has crossed a line a bit. We’ll have to wait and see what decision the committee makes.”
Since there were quite a few religious groups interested in Heinrich’s visit, the news spread quickly.
Pantheon is a union whose motto is to embrace all gods, unless they are so evil that coexistence is absolutely impossible.
Although the Quiladia sect outwardly claims to be moderate, its nature is clearly a religion that leans toward evil, so everyone reacted to this news as if they had expected something like this.
“Now, how do we get out of this?”
However, since it is true that an incident occurred, the meeting with the operating committee members that had been promised had to be postponed.
Heinrich, left alone in the guest quarters, looked out the window and sat quietly lost in thought.
‘No matter how much I think about it, it feels unnatural. It’s like someone was talking behind my back.’
Even if you cut it all the way through, it was clear.
Even if it was one thing to approach Jason and pick a fight with him, with whom she had a bad relationship from the beginning, it was inevitable that she would feel uncomfortable picking a fight with herself, who was a customer right next to her.
‘Jason is just an excuse. I guess I was the target from the beginning.’
Perhaps it wasn’t a coincidence that I met Walter at that place at that time.
He must have planned to wait there and pretended it was a chance meeting.
‘Why? Why are you targeting me?’
A number of thoughts crossed my mind.
The problem was not that there was no reason, but that there were too many.
A check on Heinrich, who is sure to be a variable in the fierce power struggle between factions.
The work of the remnants of the Bancheonhoe that still remain within the Pantheon even after the scribes were cut off.
Even a sense of mission based on religious values.
Unlike its name, the Temple of All Gods, this place was a temple of demons where not only religion but also greed, ambition, and beliefs ran rampant, so no matter what the cause was, it was not strange.
‘You can’t be dragged around by someone’s intentions without knowing anything. First, you need to identify the person and understand the situation here.’
This time, his own response was also part of that.
Since the table has been turned this way, the person behind it has no choice but to take action in some way.
There was no reason not to do so, as it would have bought us time to gather internal information.
‘Yeah, that’s right. I’m definitely not upset about muscle loss.’
No matter how insulted he was, wouldn’t Heinrich, who was considered a decent person, easily resort to violence like that?
···Although there was a little bit of ill will, it was definitely not done out of ill will.
That was the moment when Heinrich finished rationalizing himself as usual.
dripping-
There was a knock on his door.
It seemed like the long-awaited personnel had finally arrived.
He opened the door wide without hesitation···.
“Oh! This ecstatic aura, this overwhelming divine power! You are truly a saint!”
“Ah—my Lord. To see you so close… and on this Earth at that….”
He habitually smiled as he watched the crowd of priests bursting out in praise as soon as they saw his face.
A familiar divine power emanating from their bodies.
I felt an instinctive sense of satisfaction when I encountered an energy similar to my own.
‘Priests of the Jushin Church, from Outerica like me.’
This is a pantheon where religions of all dimensions gather together.
Even though Outerica is a relatively new dimension, it wouldn’t be surprising if there were priests of the Jushin Church there.
“We don’t have much time, so let’s get to the point quickly.”
When Heinrich brought them all into the room and opened his mouth, those who had been trembling reverently straightened their postures.
Although no one on this site had ever met him in person, they had no doubt that Heinrich was a saint of the Church of the Holy Spirit.
The immense divine power felt from him was like an identification card in itself.
‘First of all, it would be good to build up a solid force from those who are definitely on my side.’
And he is a saint of the Jushin Church.
He is the apostle chosen by God.
An angel who represents God and spreads his miracles on earth—.
Hwaaaaak—
He willingly served as a conduit between the Lord and his servants.
“Great Blessing: Wings of Radiance” unfolds with dazzling light.

At that moment, the restrictions that the priests had to endure while crossing dimensions began to disappear as if washed away by the intermediary called the angel.
“Ah, this is impossible. This is a miracle! Divine power···!”
“Oh, my lord! The once blurred connection has become clear again! How on Earth can this be…!”
“Could that figure be an angel···?”
Priests whose abilities, including the output of divine power and recovery power, have returned to the peak of their powers when they were in another world.
The miracle that occurred right before their eyes was enough to rekindle their somewhat dulled faith.
Unlike other gods, he has the power to exercise his authority beyond dimensions.
How can one doubt the greatness of God under these circumstances!
“Everyone, please pay attention.”
The stern voice heard in that situation was no different from a message from God.
“The world is in crisis right now, and we need your help to solve it.”
The priests, who were overcome with emotion, all fell to the floor.
There was not even a shred of hesitation left in the eyes of religious people who had already encountered a miracle.
Only the silently burning flames of fanaticism blaze.
After hearing a few instructions from Heinrich, the fanatics quietly dispersed throughout the Pantheon.

‘This is difficult.’
The man sitting alone in the darkness sighed quietly.
It was only natural that the plan that had been prepared with so much effort would be abandoned before it could even get started.
‘You idiot. You can’t even do that simple thing properly.’
Then he quietly ground his teeth as he thought about the person who had ruined the job.
It didn’t matter whether he got hit first while insulting her or whether he ended up leaving the place altogether.
The combined operation to damage the opponent and lower their credibility was already prepared by considering various scenarios.
‘But of all things···.’
Even though I warned him so earnestly, he attacked first and then got carried away in a counterattack.
I had never even thought about such a situation, so it was so absurd that I couldn’t even laugh.
I used to use it by throwing it food because it was easy to use, but seeing how it was acting this time, I thought it was time to replace it.
‘Tsk, if only the secretary had stayed, things could have been handled more reliably.’
In fact, there was an excuse for the current poor handling of the situation.
Secretary Adeline Schneider, North American branch manager of the Burning Crusade.
She was the commander in chief of all events taking place on the North American continent, while also directly directing operations in the Pantheon.
In fact, since she became the branch manager not because of her power but because of her uniqueness as an apostle of the Confucian Order and her ability to organize secret societies, her sudden absence could not be completely replaced even after quite some time had passed.
‘I am just a dagger in the dark. I cannot step forward forever. In order to do that, I need to place a replacement in the vacant seat of the 12th Committee as soon as possible…’
A new North American branch manager was appointed at the recent Pantheon Executive Council meeting, but due to the nature of the Pantheon, it was not easy for an outsider who was not a priest to intervene.
In fact, he, who was second in command in the Pantheon, became the highest ranking official.
‘Heinrich, the saint of the other world… He is dangerous. If we leave him alone like this, he might try to take the vacant position of secretary and exert influence over the Pantheon.’
Things were different when the scribe first noticed his presence and tried to draw him in.
At that time, she didn’t even know that he was her enemy, and more than anything, she was still alive.
Fortunately, it wasn’t too difficult to plan things out, as he wasn’t the only one who didn’t welcome him.
Isn’t politics about pretending to be polite on the outside but not being picky about the means and methods for one’s own gain?
‘And if you are at the top of any organization, you naturally become a politician.’
The clergy were no exception.
Although it is called a religious union, if you look closely, they are all individual organizations.
‘We can never give up on the Pantheon. We’ve put so much effort into it.’
Countless sects from countless dimensions, and the overwhelming and diverse types of divine powers that came from them.
Divine power, which can be said to be the most special power among all abilities, was stored in one place for a long time.
That alone makes San Francisco one of the most special places on Earth.
Yeah, to put it simply…
This was the most suitable land for new abilities to sprout.
‘Fortunately, the company is actively supporting us, so we’ll be able to do something. First, we have to figure out what to do with that saint…’
At that moment, I was lost in thought.
For a split second his head jerked to the side.
I felt someone’s gaze beyond the curtained window.
He carefully got up from his seat and pulled back the curtain.
Anyway, since he wasn’t doing anything particularly suspicious, there was nothing to be ashamed of.
And then, right after glancing over the curtains at the source of the gaze.
His expression flickered slightly and then returned to normal.
‘···That’s clear.’
It was a person I had known about in advance through careful investigation.
A person with a history that would normally not be worth paying much attention to, but that is particularly concerning in the current situation.
‘A priest from Austrica.’
Could this be a coincidence?
It was unfortunate that a priest of the same sect was walking around like that at the time of Saint Heinrich’s visit…
‘This is ominous.’
He glanced at the back of the priest slowly walking away, then looked up at the sky.
As if it was meant to be that way from the beginning.
the next day.
Immediately after the disciplinary action was decided against Walter, a saintly warrior of the Quilladia Order who broke the rules of the Pantheon.
The conversation between Heinrich and Pantheon, which had been postponed once, has come to fruition.
***
“Damn, my head hurts so bad I think I’m going to faint.”
Andrew Weaver sighed as he sunk deep into his comfy single-seater sofa.
I had to stay up all night using my powers in response to a sudden order, and my headache was so bad that I was running a fever.
‘If this continues, I’m really going to die from overwork.’
This mission was particularly difficult compared to usual.
That would be the case···.
“America out of nowhere?”
The target of this observation was San Francisco, USA, located close to the other side of the globe.
It was natural that the further away you looked from where you were, the more strength you would expend.
Moreover, that place was not just any ordinary place, but was no different from the holy place of the Pantheon.
‘I don’t know how they managed to recruit the priests.’
This would have been absolutely impossible without the active support of collaborators from within.
No, if it weren’t for the special ‘medium’ distributed to them in the first place, their attention wouldn’t have even reached that far.
Because he really didn’t know anything about the Pantheon.
“Ugh, is the Immortal King really trying to conquer Earth?”
Considering the connection between the person who gave the order and the person being investigated, it was inevitable that such a thought would come to mind.
“Phew, it doesn’t concern me anymore.”
Since you’re bound by a contract anyway, you can’t run away.
If I had to wish for something, it would be that Korea could remain peaceful like it is now.
Thanks to the magic tool, there were no language problems and I was paid a lot of money, so there was no place better to live than here.
‘Oh, and a long vacation too.’
Thinking about vacation made me feel somehow more energized.
Andrew, who had a small wish that would never come true, tapped on the keyboard, sent the information he had collected, then closed his eyes and resumed working.
‘If I do well this time, I might actually be able to get a long vacation.’
Same time.
There were more than a few people who moved with the same purpose as Andrew.
All sorts of supernatural powers, such as fortune-telling, clairvoyance, and astrology, were attempted with one goal in mind, and the information collected in this way was all transmitted to one place and gradually began to take on a certain form.
And finally.
“···I found it.”
In the middle of a data center filled with countless machines.
A soft voice echoed through the space, which was still sweltering hot despite the high-power air conditioning unit running at full power.
While verifying a large amount of information in the electronic data that was breached thanks to the response from inside using hacking tools, we were able to confirm a suspicious approach in one of them.
Hesperon, lying in a special capsule made by Howard, approached it for a closer inspection.
“···what?”
At that moment.
A question escaped his lips.
“Huh? Could this be···?”
***
Beep beep—
An alarm suddenly rang out.
“Huh? What is this? How did you get here?”
A middle-aged man wearing a dirty lab coat glanced at the monitor and tilted his head.
But that was only for a moment.
Soon a look of joy appeared on his face, as if he had met an old friend.
“Aha! So this guy is that guy?”
A man who was so excited that he dropped what he was doing and came over to the monitor.
“Wow! Finally met you—! The hacker of Masquerade!”
The doctor smiled brightly.
