Chapter 104

104Hwa Hanbit Palace

Jaehyuk, who returned to the Pantheon, was troubled..

[Come back to Hanbit Palace. He will use you dearly.]

Mother's pressure. Of course, if Jaehyuk joins Hanbitgung's guild, they will treat him quite well..

Unlike in the past when he was just a money maker, he is now a promising academy prospect who is doing well in his own right..

At this age, he has already been issued a B-level hunter certificate, so he will be able to easily grow to A-level, and if he does well, he can even aim for S-level..

But Jaehyuk knew what kind of place Hanbit Palace was..

From a young age, I was led by my mother to attend various religious prayers and retreats and received an education that bordered on brainwashing, but as my brain hardened, I realized that this was not the case..

So, as if running away, I entered the academy and intentionally cut off contact. They didn't cut it off completely, but they used training and testing as an excuse to cut off contact..

So, the senior draft. I tore up the application to join the Hanbit Guild that my mother gave me and entered the temple..

"ha……."

When Leon first spoke about his guild and faith at the church, I thought that another guy just like Hanbit had appeared..

But now I know. The pantheon is where the real gods are, and Hanbit is just a heretic and a cult..

His worries weren't just his mother's pressure to return to Hanbit..

It is because of the existence of God who speaks to oneself after faith class..

[They are wicked and cunning heretics. It's a bunch of cults. punish that bitch.]

"……You're my mother.."

[There are things that are more important than information about flesh and blood! Cultists are unforgivable sinners.!]

Jaehyuk originally believed in the god of light and justice. The ten structures were also offered to her, and the teachings and instructions were followed according to the goddess's standards..

But the day Leon connected the knight cadets to the gods... Jaehyuk became connected to a different god than the goddess of light and justice he believed in..

"Why on earth does the god of sky and thunder meow?……."

Ultima.

god of sky and thunder.

This violent god connected to Jaehyuk gave himself orders..

[Punish the cultists! There must be heavenly punishment!]

Jae-hyuk was reluctant to say anything because he, a mere cadet, would punish Hanbit and the target included his own mother..

"Damn it……."

The way back to the pantheon. Jaehyuk bumps into someone and reflexively nods his head..

"I'm sorry──"

"Is this your hometown?."

"uh?"

A familiar voice. Jaehyuk slowly raised his head with a dumbfounded reaction, and his eyes widened at the sight of an unexpected person..

"lung, majesty?!"

Leon. He was staring at Jaehyuk blankly..

* * * *

"I understand the situation well. Is that really what happened?."

Jaehyuk confessed everything to Leon, who came to see him with half the knowledge..

He said he had been a follower of Hanbit Palace for a long time. Her mother is forcing her to return to Hanbit. Ultima, the god of thunder, is ordering divine punishment..

The moment Jaehyuk met Leon, he realized that he was the only one he could consult with..

"Oh thunder. Even so, how can you let a child carry the karma of the heavenly law?."

[I am the sky, so who can discuss heavenly laws?.]

Leon shrugged his shoulders and agreed, but he also didn't feel at ease..

"If you want to punish a cultist, leave it to me.."

[No, I want my child to wash away the dirty heresy with his own hands. I want you to give your will to me.]

Ultima, god of sky and thunder.

One of the most powerful gods among the pantheon of gods and a thorough principled person..

Leon knew that persuading Ultima would not be easy. Especially since he maintains a similar hateful attitude towards cultists and devils..

"Jaehyuk Kim. Why didn't you tell Jim that day?."

"……I think it's like this."

Jaehyuk would have no choice. But you must have been afraid of the consequences to tell Leon..

Because it was Jaehyuk who witnessed right before his eyes how Leon treated the orcs, demons, and cultists of the beast god..

"I heard there's a group that's been doing something similar to the Pantheon recently.."

"yes? no way……."

"Lord Spinner has made it clear. They already declared war on me and the gods."

"your majesty… my mother……."

Leon stopped Jaehyuk from speaking with a hand gesture..

"Jim is not a madman who kills people at random. Jim will measure them up."

Look and judge with your own eyes.

Leon stood up and spoke to Jaehyuk..

"Where is their cathedral?."

* * * *

Hanbit Palace.

This new religion, which arose after the cataclysm, considers none other than the ‘System’ to be God’s will and salvation..

A system that provides guidance to awakened hunters to close the gate..

The church has been expanding, saying that all of this is not a miracle of God..

Hanbit Palace has cleverly infiltrated the lives of modern people whose lives have become difficult after the cataclysm..

The hunters they regard as heroes, a system that cannot be interpreted by modern science..

It was not an entirely unreliable claim that it was a message from God and some kind of help..

In fact, many scholars assumed that systems and gates were phenomena caused by transcendent beings..

"So I said. Putting down your pants in front of me means believing. If you can't even do that, how can you be saved? Believe it. Do not doubt, just believe and you will be saved.."

"salvation!"

"salvation!"

"Do you want to be saved? Believe it. Just believe. If you believe in my words and follow only what I command, you will all be saved.!"

Hanbit Palace Palace lord Park Yong-shin.

1990Born in 1992, suffered a cataclysm at the age of twelve..

It is said that he made a name for himself as a promising A-level hunter in a turbulent era when there was no academy yet and people learned everything through physical encounters..

It was in the winter of 2014 that he met God..

Variable gate that occurred in Samcheok. In this gate where the difficulty level suddenly changed, Park Yong-shin lost all his colleagues and was in danger of dying..

Right then. It is said that Lord Park Yong-shin of Hanbit heard a voice..

[Do you hope for salvation?.]

When he answered the voice, the owner of the voice bestowed grace on Park Yong-shin..

He was the seventh S-class hunter to appear in Korea, and the church he founded is the current Hanbit Palace..

"He testifies to His reality. Behold the warriors of God who have received His favor. Listen to the Gospel the moment they enter the gate."

And indeed, Hanbit Palace performs miracles. To be exact, it is a change in the system called ‘God’s guidance’..

A hunter testified from the podium.

"It was an ordinary gate. However, unlike other hunters, the moment I entered the gate, my system malfunctioned.."

Originally, at the gate where all you had to do was defeat the boss and mine magic stones, the hunter explored the inside of the dungeon following the guidance of the system, and was able to obtain surprising results..

"Hidden rewards. My life changed when I discovered that treasure trove. It's all his grace!"

"iced coffee……."

"Oh my god……."

Cases like this often happened to Hanbit Palace hunters..

As soon as most of them entered the dungeon, they received a different system message, and as a result, their lives were saved and treasures were obtained..

Even the Hunter Association notarized that this was not just an isolated case, but a phenomenon centered around Hanbit Palace, so it was not difficult for Hanbit Palace to expand its influence..

Park Yong-shin stood on the platform of the hunter who was testifying..

"That's not all. A man who was attacking the gate for his sick old mother was given a panacea, and an incompetent hunter was given miraculous growth.."

What is this if not a miracle of God? My existence is the proof!

Believers are enthusiastic about every word of Park Yong-shin..

Even those who reacted cynically, calling them fraudsters, swallow their saliva when they are brought up with cases that were even reported in the news..

Maybe he is like Hanbit Palace’s hunter.…….

That is why they make donations even when there are no believers, come to early morning prayers, and give a tenth of their income separately...

Because I want to enjoy that miracle too. I want to have a miracle gifted by God to myself too..

"Hmm?"

While Park Yong-shin was in the middle of a sermon, he noticed a blonde man who stood out among the congregation..

Next to her, a silver-haired woman wearing a veil and a spider-like machine are wriggling around hymns..

'Is it a pantheon? Why on earth do the authors?'

Park Yong-shin continued his sermon while inwardly admiring Leon's overflowing dignity and upright posture..

"your majesty."

"hmm……."

Beatrice spoke quietly, but Leon was lost in his own thoughts..

'It's a cult.'

These guys are everywhere. Parasites that dig into the gaps in the people's poverty and hearts, preach false teachings, and fill their own interests..

The cults of miscellaneous gods that arise in places where life is difficult are one of the things that Leon detests..

In essence, divinity is a law that uses faith as nourishment, and does not use material things as nourishment. Why does a god need money??

Of course, I do not deny that materials are needed to run a religious denomination. All priests were human and had to eat to survive..

But, how can you ask for money in such a shallow and undignified way?.

If it was just money, I might have passed it off as mean. Leon found the fundamental ideology of this church offensive and suspicious..

"There, brother. A very precious person has come to visit you.."

Park Yong-shin's gaze met Leon's..

"Brother who is coming for the first time, you are to be baptized. Please come here quickly.."

Park Yong-shin boldly invites Leon to the podium. Leon was happy to oblige..

He approached the podium and took out a sack of wen from subspace. And suddenly he throws it onto the stage..

The contents of the sack where rainwater falls. It's a large bundle of cash..

"……What are you doing??"

"Try a miracle."

"What??"

"Didn’t they say that you can experience a miracle if you give an offering? Let's get up someplace."

"That's rude.."

Park Yong-shin frowned at Leon's unexpected behavior while looking at the camera filming him..

'You idiot. Your every move will be recorded..'

It is said that Hanbit Palace is treated as a cult in the public, but there is a reason why people can deny it..

In fact, Hanbit Palace believers receive different system messages from the gate, and those messages bring benefits..

"Trying to test God's miracles with a mere sacrifice?."

"Isn’t it your god who demanded material goods and faith as conditions for salvation? The idea of ​​making a deal with God is truly outrageous, but I am willing to make a deal with you one more time.."

"……."

Although he did not show it, Park Yong-shin did not hide his displeasure..

How could a medieval barbarian who worships a pagan god dare insult his own god?

"Did you say that you can go to heaven with loyalty and devotion? Did you say that there will be a place equal to the amount of donations??"

"Heaven is only the reward of those who believe, salvation of the chosen.!"

"You make that choice?"

"You must obey and submit to your pastor! Only then can you reach heaven! That is the truth, that is the gospel!"

"Do those who call themselves servants of God identify themselves with God? Who gave you that right?!"

The heaven he knows is paradise. He had to be proud of himself to get in there..

Just because you beat a heretic to death and give him a lot of money does not mean you are exempt from the crime..

What's more, it's an accumulation method. If you donate a lot, the size of your house in heaven will increase..

When I heard that I had to be willing to give up my insides to prove my faith, I was so shocked that I just laughed..

"Have you ever seen such a shallow and petty faith?."

Park Yong-shin did not dare to refute Leon's harsh words..

It was not because there was a lack of arguments or arguments. Because the denomination’s own argument, built on the promise of unconditional faith and unrealistic salvation, was invincible..`

But I had an instinct that the being in front of me would not tolerate that..

With that stern gaze and angry majesty, he couldn't put his clumsy claim into words..

But it's okay. He had a winning argument..

"He is a non-believer! It's heresy! The seeds of evil are trying to invade our temple! We must drive this evil thing out of the house of the Lord.!"

Thousands of church members stood up in response to Park Yong-shin’s shout. They expressed their burning anger at non-believers who insulted their faith..

"Back off, you evil thing! This is God's house!"

"right! Go away!"

"Dirty bastard! His wrath will drown you in boiling blood.!"

Leon silently endured the scoldings of the cultists..

Assessing the identity of the being supported by the ugly faith of these poor fools..

but.

"this stupid and foolish──"

There are some insults that can never be accepted.

"──You devil…!"

"……!"

-……Kikluk!

"……Hut."

The gaze suddenly focused on the person who said those words. He instinctively read the astonished gaze focused on me and the changed atmosphere..

Something… something is wrong.

"This lowly thing……."

There are three insults that Leon will never accept..

One is swearing at parents.

As the sons of Ulfric Dragonia, the great Duke of Dragonia, the insults inflicted on them are an insult to the family..

Second, blasphemy against divinity.

How can mortals insult the gods? Sometimes, those who behaved foolishly like that were killed by pulling out their tongues, dismembering their bodies, and drying them in the sun..

finally.

Surprisingly, Leon tends to overlook insults directed at him lightly..

Even the drying of vegetation, lightning strikes, and droughts on this land are the king's sins and immorality..

The king makes no excuses. The king does not evade. The king does not pass on.

A position that bears only responsibility. Because that is the king's seat.

Leon blamed the common people's insults towards him for his own immorality, but did not hold him guilty. but…….

"How dare you. You guys... Lowly guys... A group of cultists……."

If you can bear all the insults.

"us… ! Compare this lion-hearted king to the devil!!"

Calling oneself a devil is never acceptable. Never! Never!

"I will punish you for your false beliefs and superficiality! The guidance of the sacred star will purify you.!"

"your majesty… really here?"

Bice asked, but Leon had already pulled out the holy sword. The scabbard of the holy sword flickered light in all directions, projecting the movement of celestial bodies.──

"The holy relics of Saint Agnac will guide the star.!"

The necklace that Leon was holding suddenly poured an enormous amount of light into the sky. next moment──

* * * *

Watanabe, an employee of JAXA, the Japanese Aerospace Research and Development Organization, discovered a strange movement while observing celestial objects as usual..

Identification number M85-HCCI.

6This comet, which was observed six months ago and was scheduled to pass by the Earth, was scheduled to pass smoothly outside the Earth's orbit until today..

This small object was called Comet Mickey in honor of its original discoverer, Dr. Mickey of the University of Michigan.…….

"changed the trajectory?"

Watanabe hurriedly rushed to report the sudden change in orbit..

"What nonsense! Why did a comet that was passing by just fine suddenly come this way?!"

"Me, on the Korean Peninsula to be exact.──"

"Who cares! I heard it's over 6km in size! Not only the Korean peninsula but also us are all flying away.!"

6km comet. The comet that ended the Cretaceous period was about 10km across, so a comet this size would at least blow up all of Asia.!

Considering the aftermath, it is enough to discuss human extinction.!

"Comet Mickey! It's accelerating! Pass the Earth's gravitational sphere in less than 3 minutes! It crashes!!"

"we are all dead!"

At this moment, all aerospace organizations around the world had similar reactions..
