Episode 269: The Holy Body (2)
The body of the saint is called ‘community’, which is often used to mean ‘white bread and white wine’.
Therefore, the priests of Rune used to eat white bread and white wine every weekend.
It was a custom derived from the myth that a long time ago, the prophet Lun made white bread with his flesh and white wine with his blood and distributed it to his followers.
And those who copied or cleverly twisted the doctrines of the Church of Rune also had a similar culture.
For example, the ‘New World Church’, ‘Ohm Church’, ‘Manson Church’, etc., which are rapidly increasing in numbers throughout the empire.
They copied and used the old doctrines of Rune almost as they were, but inserted their own interpretations into the empty parts in the middle of the doctrines, resulting in a completely new religion.
And the top priests, including ‘El Mani’, ‘Om’, and ‘Charles’, the leaders of these large-scale cults and pseudo-religions, were now gathered in one place.
Right on the outskirts of the ecliptic, Quo Vadis, with few people, was in front of a temple of the New Testament sect.
A lot of people gathered together and started talking.
“Oops, long time no see, priest. Has your face improved a lot?”
“What? This time, as I received all of my property from a merchant guild, my life has improved a bit.”
“Hey. He is also resourceful. How did you get the donation?”
“Is there anything wrong? The daughter of the guild leader there has been sick for several years, but he gently coaxed me into treating her, so I skipped it all. It hurts, because it only takes a few doses of narcotic painkillers.”
“Ha ha ha – that’s great. I keep losing face fat, so I’m worried that it won’t look like it’s too thin.”
“Isn’t it because you brought in a new concubine this time?”
“Uh-huh- that’s right. Originally, I had a separate husband, but he gently seduced me with doctrine and made me fall in love with him.”
“Good job. To put it bluntly, would you not be a true god if you gave up not only all your possessions, but also your body and soul for us?”
“you’re right. Otherwise, salvation is impossible.”
The heretical and pseudo-priests had different religious principles and principles, but they had one thing in common.
It was to eat the backs of the tired and struggling people and call their own flesh.
at that time.
The crowd split left and right, and three figures walked out from different directions.
They were ‘Elmani’, ‘Om’, and ‘Charles’, the heads of cults and pseudo-religions.
Elmani, who was old but still radiated greedy light from her eyes, opened her mouth.
“… … Anyway. The fact that the New Testament sect of Quo Vadis sent an invitation to the dinner must mean that we finally recognize our ‘New World Church’ as an official tribe, right?”
Then said ‘Om’, a man so fat that he almost looked like a ball.
“you’re right. Holy Communion is the act of sharing the flesh and blood of a saint. Calling here must mean that you want to officially form an alliance with our church.”
‘Charles’, who has a skinny body and wide eyes, also nodded.
“It is. The reason why I asked to gather secretly like this today is to check the OT faction! Knowing that we had supported the Old Testament for a long time, they also wanted to get something to eat from now on.”
The heads of cults and pseudo-cities gathered here are all people who call themselves the pope,
They gathered here for various reasons after receiving an invitation to a dinner that Quo Vadis had secretly delivered in the name of the New Testament sect.
Having already built a strong relationship with the Old Testament faction, they are now planning to join the New Testament faction as well.
“Currently, as the Old Testament faction and the New Testament faction are in fierce conflict within Quo Vadis, if we provide military funding to both of them, then whoever wins will not be able to survive.”
“you’re right. Clever rabbits dig many burrows. No matter who the ultimate winner is, we only have to enjoy the reflexive advantage. Perhaps it would be better for us to fight against each other forever without a win or loss.”
“In order to do that, we must keep our gathering here a complete secret from the outside world. So that it does not fall into the ears of the Old Testament sect. Did you all keep your secrets well?”
Heretics and cults with influence from all over the empire gathered here.
The leaders of each religion brought only the core high-ranking officials who could really be trusted.
“How fortunate is it that the New Testamentists have come to their senses and reached out to us?”
“They don’t either. That the OTs could never be defeated without our funding.”
“Hahaha- New Testament bastards. Pretending to be virtuous, pretending to be clean, everyone did it alone.”
They came secretly under cover of night and hurriedly entered the temple.
… … No, I was going to go in.
Kwak!
Even if it wasn’t for the explosion I heard out of nowhere.
Rumble! Woojijijik!
Debris from collapsed buildings and roadside trees attacked carriages and people.
Screams began to emanate from all over the place.
“What, what!?”
Heretics and cults surround the area in a circle and are perplexed at the collapsed soil and debris.
And a sound of footsteps was heard in the thick dust.
Again – Again – Again –
Black tights, kill heels over 30 cm high.
Ms. Ouroboros.
She appeared here out of nowhere!
“Ho-ho-what is it? Why is there so much garbage?”
Looking around at the priests, she shrugged once.
“I heard that the night hound appeared and came. Are there only stinking garbage?”
Then the priests shouted in anger.
“What a cheeky criminal bitch! What are you doing! Kill!”
Before long, soldiers armed with spears and shields charged at Miss Ouroboros.
however.
Shriririk- Kirik-
The whip coiled around like a snake cut the arms, legs, and torso of the soldiers as if they were slicing a zucchini.
A terrifying aura flies in, drawing a trajectory of purple and black.
Jab- Puck! Kwak!
A slight earthquake occurred every time the whip, which sprouted thorns like rose vines, hit the hard bedrock.
As the Paladins, armed with heavy armor, died almost as if they were being crushed, the faces of the heretic and pseudo cult leaders turned pale.

“No, nonsense! What kind of monster is that!?”
“Haik! What are the Imperial Guards doing!”
“help me! I’m the kind of person who shouldn’t die in a place like this!”
Elmani, Orm, and Charles hurriedly tried to run away, but it was impossible.
Because Miss Ouroboros had already lightly landed in front of them.
she asked in a laughing tone.
“What are you? Are you the Pope?”
Then all three nodded.
“I am the Pope of the New World Church! Do you think you can avoid punishment by doing this to me!”
“I am the leader of the Ohm Church. There are hundreds of thousands of believers who will mourn if I have an accident.”
“I am the God of Mansonism. Whoever tries to harm me will surely suffer harm.”
Elmani, Orm, and Charles spoke in firm tones.
OK.
Damn! match! F*ck!
Miss Ouroboros drew her whip into the air.
Eventually, several of the trees that had been uprooted and fell were transformed by the aura and became a tree with numerous branches.
“… … ?”
Elmani, Orm, and Charles tilted their heads.
OK. Miss Ouroboros said with a coquettish laugh.
“If you are the pope or a god, show me the proof. Then I will save you.”
at the same time.
Whirly Rick-
Miss Ouroboros’ whip wrapped around Charles, who was in the forefront.
“Huh?”
Charles, who was standing in a daze, was dragged to a huge tree in front of him in an instant.
yet.
Pupper puffer puck!
Miss Ouroboros drew a dagger from her waistband and threw it through both shoulders and thighs, nailing it to a tree.
“Quaaaaaaagh!?”
Charles struggled madly and screamed, but his body was already firmly nailed to the tree.
Miss Ouroboros said with a smile.
“Now, I will crown you with laurel.”
A whip with poisonous thorns wrapped around Charles’ head, which was flapping violently from side to side.
“Oops! Woo woo woo woo woo!”
Charles struggled furiously, spurting blood from his body, and soon fell limp.
He died of shock due to excessive blood loss.
Next to him, Elmani and Ohm were urinating in a ball.
Miss Ouroboros opened her mouth brightly.
“Yes~ Participant No. 1. Resurrection failed! Then it is the turn of the second participant.”
Miss Ouroboros walked in front of the trembling Ohm.
and.
F*ck! Pop!
He lifted the heel of his high heel and stamped his toe, shattering it into pieces.
“Kkeiyiik! Kahak!?”
Ohm struggled, but Miss Ouroboros didn’t stop kicking.
Starting from the toes, insteps, ankles, shins, knees, thighs… … .
Soon, Ohm’s lower body was completely crushed into a piece of rag.
Miss Ouroboros said with a smile.
“The next challenge is ‘fixing a crippled man’! Come on, get up on your own two legs. Then I will save you.”
But Ohm didn’t wake up.
but.
“Sah, save me! I-I’m not a god! Not even a priest! Just pseudo! No, it is heresy at all, heresy!”
They just beg for their lives, spewing out the truth that may be the first in their lives.
“No, nonsense! The Pope is dead… … .”
“How could our savior look like that to a mere mob… … .”
“Hey, this is a scam! He knows how to pee, but he has no divine power at all, that human!”
All the priests and followers who have obeyed the authority of the leaders so far scream in bewilderment.
Meanwhile, Elmani, the leader of the largest pseudo-church, was glaring at Miss Ouroboros with a hard expression.
“I am not afraid of you! I will never yield! Because I am a god who has returned to this world!”
“oh? okay?”
Miss Ouroboros laughed, covering her mouth with her hand.
After a while, as if interested, she asked Elmani.
“If you really are a god, you wouldn’t mind being touched by holy water, right?”
“what? Of course… … .”
But Elmani couldn’t answer.
It was because, as soon as he opened his mouth, Miss Ouroboros took out a bottle from her bosom and sprayed the liquid in Elmani’s face.
“ruler. Holy water.”
Miss Ouroboros smiled brightly.
At the same time, a terrifying sound began to emanate from Elmani’s face.
Wash Sisi Sisi-
The flesh melts and the blisters boil. The terrible smell of burning flesh began to sting my nostrils.
“Quaaaaaagh!”
Elmani struggled, covering her face with both hands.
However, the holy water not only melted the flesh and pierced countless holes in the bones, but also burned the things inside.
“oh? Did you accidentally pour in hydrochloric acid instead of holy water?”
Miss Ouroboros winked and punched herself in the head with her fist.
Seeing Elmani dying in terrible agony, the faces of the other religious leaders turned white.
“I, I am not the Second Coming of Rune!”
“help me! I just love people holding me up… … !”
“Aww! I just created a religion because I can have adultery with married men and married women!”
“Ugh! I just made a business car! Let’s make some money!”
Shocking confessions from the teachers follow. And the shock of believers too.
Clink- Loud window- Explosion-
There was a loud sound of broken trust coming from all over the place.
* * *
“… … Mmm. Are things going a little differently than planned?”
On the roof of the New Testament Temple.
Bikir, in hound mode of the night, looked down at the harrowing scene below with Dolores.
Bikir’s original plan was to gather the leaders of cults and cults in one place and annihilate them.
In fact, this was also Sinclair’s original plan.
In the past, Sinclair was given the following mission in the second game of the college league.
Faith Holy Family / Difficulty [★★★☆]
Currently, the empire is groaning from the growing evils of heresy and pseudoscience.
At this time, from the standpoint of the Quo Vadis Inquisition, suggest a way to eradicate heretics and cults and raise the status of the Church of Rune.
Then Sinclair came up with a rather radical answer, and that was this.
A ploy that Sinclair will inform Dolores a long time later.
I already knew it through my memories before the regression to avoid it.
“… … Heretics and cults are like weeds, so you can’t catch them unless you pull them out completely. But since we can’t deal with all the weed seeds that are scattered everywhere, the only solution is to gather them in one place and set them on fire.”
Of course, this does not include indigenous folk beliefs and traditional religions of indigenous peoples that do not harm the surroundings.
It only targets scumbags who use the hearts of the poor and weary to extort money, extort property, do bad things to children, and covet other people’s husbands or wives.
Bikir sent her young madam to steal the handwriting of Martin Luther, a New Testament bishop.
If the young madam squirts out the thread in the shape of the letters written on the documents in Luther’s office, hardens it, and takes it off, she can steal the contents of the documents as well as the handwriting.
Meanwhile.
“W-wouldn’t that be too extreme?”
Dolores was trembling slightly.
However, that is a plan that Dolores, the ‘Saint of Steel’, will do in just a few decades.
So Bikir answered without much inspiration.
“Look what the dying cults are spouting.”
At that, Dolores’ eyes widened.
Pooh!
The blood of the dying. The color of that blood was black.
All the high-ranking officials and ardent followers here had made a contract with the devil.
whether he knew it or not.
‘I knew it. They were related to the 6th hour.’
Bikir thought as he looked at the people who were being killed by Miss Ouroboros.
To be honest, I wasn’t sure that Miss Ouroboros would appear here.
Half and half. It was a 50% chance.
This made it certain.
1. Ouroboros Wants to Meet the Night Hound
2. Ouroboros has a hostile relationship with the devil’s minions (cause unknown)
Wherever the hounds of night had appeared, Miss Ouroboros had always followed them.
So Bikir planned to become a copycat of Miss Ouroboros this time.
‘Because dressing up as a woman and whipping to a certain level isn’t that difficult.’
But Miss Ouroboros really came and made things quicker.
timely.
“This way! I hear screams!”
“Full force charge!”
“I’m going to catch him this time!”
I heard the sound of the imperial guards who were dispatched after receiving the report.
“Ho-ho-ho, does this feel like you’ve been taken advantage of? I came after receiving a report that a night hound had appeared, but I was just wasting my time.”
Miss Ouroboros shook her head as if she had lost consciousness.
“Night Hound… … Are you trying to use me in this way? Ho-ho-ho, you seem like a cunning and charming person. Are you getting better?”
Soon after, Miss Ouroboros kicked off her seat, leaped into the air, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Only thick dust and darkness are swallowing everything.
And taking advantage of that gap, Bikir quickly entered the scene and caught this one that was still alive.
It was Ohm, the leader of the Ohm religion.
“… … Turn it off.”
He was horribly dismembered from the lower half of his body by Miss Ouroboros.
Since he was half out of his mind, Vikir had to use Dekaravia’s abilities.
Enchanted by the red eyes emanating from the single eye in the center of the star, he vomited everything he knew before dying.
“cog… … Under the floor of the destroyed wagon… … Hidden in 3 layers… … funding line… … top secret document… … .”
Right before Miss Ouroboros leaves and the Imperial Guard arrives.
Bikir moved hastily.
“Quickly open the ledger!”
Then Dolores, who had been rummaging through the carriage first at Bikir’s gesture, exclaimed equally urgently.
“here! I found it! Under the floor!”
Bikir and Dolores put the ledger into their bosoms and ran through the dust.
‘Now I passed the tail and grabbed the body.’
Bikir thought.
All that remains is the head. Only true darkness.
Bikir, carrying Dolores on her back, glides through the air on the young madam’s thread, looking at the ledger.
The answer Bikir was looking for.
It was something that could be known in just a few seconds of skimming through the ledger.
A name that occupies an overwhelmingly large proportion among numerous trading targets.
A source of funds for the Old Testament faction and used heretics and pseudos as a money laundering network.
And that’s where the sixth Tensingshi is currently hiding.
