Chapter 459
visit (3)
Conflict between Heinrich, who visited as a guest, and Walter, a saint from the Quilladia Church..
But fortunately for some, the assault…no, the fight had to end before long..
“Brother Heinrich, calm down first.···.”
“stop! Until there! stop falling!”
“Stop! Direct armed conflict other than formal duels is prohibited within the Pantheon.!”
To begin with, it didn't happen in a deserted place, it happened openly in front of the committee hall..
Arguments arising from disputes were not that uncommon here, but cases where they crossed the line and escalated into fights were a different story..
Heinrich had only a moment to do anything before interference came..
But even that short period of time was enough to engrave courtesy on the other person's body..
As a result, even though there was an incident that caused one person to lose consciousness and be rushed away, no one took issue with it..
Heinrich, who was famous only for his enormous divine power, was only surprised by the fact that he could overwhelm a master-level holy warrior with pure force..
As the location was a location, it was widely known that Walter not only started the fight but also attacked first..
“Did you hear that? They say there was another accident at the Quilladia Church..”
“also? I'm not even tired of it anymore. What's the difference between those idiots and evil god worshippers?···.”
“First of all, I am cooperating with Pantheon's wishes. If you leave it for no reason and then join Pandemonium, it becomes even more annoying..”
“Since time immemorial, the enemy within is more dangerous than the enemy outside. Well, there is a saying that says to keep the enemy closer. It might be less risky to keep it where people can see it..”
“Although this incident crossed a line a bit. We'll have to wait and see what decision the committee makes..”
Since there were quite a few religious denominations that were interested in Heinrich's visit, the news spread quickly..
The Pantheon is an association whose motto is to embrace all evil spirits, unless they are truly evil spirits at a level where coexistence is impossible..
Although the Quilladia denomination advertises itself as moderate externally, its inclination is clearly a religion that leans toward evil, so everyone reacted that way to this news..
“Now how do I get out?.”
Still, since it is true that an incident occurred, the promised meeting with the steering committee members had to be postponed..
Heinrich, left alone in the accommodation provided for guests, looked out the window and quietly lost in thought..
‘No matter how much you think about it, it’s unnatural. It seems like someone was manipulating me behind my back..’
Even if you look at it front and back, it was clear..
Even though it was okay to approach Jason, who I had a bad relationship with from the beginning, and start a fight, I couldn't help but feel a sense of discomfort when he started a fight with himself, a customer who was sitting next to him..
‘Jason is just an excuse. I guess that was my goal from the beginning..’
Perhaps meeting Walter at that time was not accidental..
He must have made up his mind to wait there and then pretended to meet by chance..
‘why? Why were you targeting me??’
Many thoughts passed through my mind..
It's not that there was no reason, it was that there were too many..
A check on Heinrich, who is sure to become a variable in the fierce battle of conflict between factions..
The masterpiece of the remnants of the Buncheonhoe that will still remain inside the Pantheon even after the secretary was cut off..
Even a sense of duty due to any religious values..
Contrary to its name, Pantheon, it is not surprising that this place is a place where not only faith but also greed, ambition, and beliefs are stirred up..
‘You can't be guided by someone's intentions without knowing anything. First of all, the first thing to do is to identify the enemy and understand the situation here..’
My response this time was also part of that..
Since the situation has been turned upside down like this, the people behind it have no choice but to make some kind of move..
In addition, it gave me time to collect internal information, so there was no reason not to do so..
‘Cancer, of course. I'm definitely not upset because of muscle loss..’
No matter how insulted he was, there was no way Heinrich, who was considered a person of character, could have committed violence that easily.?
···Although there was a little, a very small amount of sympathy, it was never done solely out of bad feelings..
The moment Heinrich finished his usual self-justification,.
dripping—
There was a knock on his door..
It seemed like the people they had been waiting for 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. I can't believe I got to see the saint so close... Even on this earth···.”
He habitually had a smile on his face as he saw the crowd of priests pouring out praise as soon as they saw his face..
The familiar divine power emanating from their bodies..
When I encountered the same energy as what I had, I felt an instinctive sense of satisfaction..
‘From Outerica like me, priests of the main church.’
This is a pantheon of religions from all levels..
Although Outerica is a relatively new dimension, it would not be surprising if there were priests of the main church here..
“We don't have much time, so let's get to the point quickly..”
When Heinrich, who had brought them all into the room, opened his mouth, those who had been shaking reverently straightened their posture..
Although no one here had seen him in person, they had not the slightest doubt that Henry was a saint of the Main Church..
The immense divine power felt from him was nothing short of an identification card..
‘First of all, it would be better to start with those who are clearly on my side and make them into a proper force..’
And a saint of the main church,.
He is an apostle chosen by the Lord..
The angel who represents God and spreads miracles on earth is—.
Wow!—
He willingly became a channel of connection with his servants on behalf of the Lord..
“Great Blessing: Wings of Radiance” spreads wide with dazzling light」.
At that moment, the restrictions that the priests had to endure while crossing the dimension began to disappear as if washed away through a relay called an angel..
“Ah, this can't be happening. It's a miracle! divine power···!”
“Oh, Lord! A connection that was once blurred becomes clear again! How on earth does this happen?···!”
“No way, that figure is an angel···?”
Priests whose abilities, including divine power output and recovery, have returned to their prime when they were in another world..
The miracle that occurred right under their noses was enough to rekindle their somewhat dull faith..
Unlike other gods, it is a majesty that exercises power beyond dimensions..
How can one have doubts about the greatness of God under these circumstances?!
“Everyone please pay attention.”
The stern voice heard in such a situation was no different from a message from God..
“The world is now in crisis. And we need your help to solve it.”
The priests, who were filled with emotion, fell to the floor all at once..
There was no hesitation left in the eyes of religious people who had already encountered a miracle..
There is only the quietly burning flame of fanaticism..
After receiving some instructions from Heinrich, the fanatics quietly dispersed throughout the Pantheon..
***
‘It's difficult..’
A person sitting alone in the dark sighed quietly..
It was only natural that the plan that had been prepared with so much effort ended up being scrapped before it even got started..
‘You idiot. I can't even do that simple thing properly..’
And then, thinking of the main culprit who ruined things, I gritted my teeth softly..
It didn't matter whether I insulted him and then got hit first or made him leave the place altogether..
The joint operation to undermine the opponent and reduce trust was already prepared based on various scenarios..
‘But somehow···.’
I gave him so much confidence and caution, but he attacked first and then got hit by a counter attack and was carried away..
I had never even thought about such a situation, so I was so shocked that I couldn't even laugh..
Since it was easy to use, I was using it often by throwing food at it, but seeing what it was doing this time, I thought it was time to change it..
‘Tsk, if the secretary had stayed, things could have been handled more clearly..’
Actually, I had an excuse for my current sloppy handling of things..
Secretary Adeline Schneider, President of the North American Branch of the Bündchen Society.
She was a commander who oversaw everything that happened on the North American continent and directly commanded operations in Pantheon..
In fact, as she became the branch leader not by force but by her uniqueness as an apostle of the Society and her ability to control the underworld, it was inevitable that her sudden absence could not be completely replaced even after some time had passed..
‘I am just a dagger in the darkness. I can't go out forever. To achieve this, a replacement must be appointed to the vacant position on the 12th Committee as soon as possible.···.’
A new North American branch president was inaugurated at a recent executive meeting of the Buncheon Conference, but due to the nature of the Pantheon, it was not easy for an outsider other than a priest to intervene..
In fact, when it comes to the Pantheon, he who was second in command has become the most senior..
‘Heinrich, the saint of the other world... This guy is dangerous. If we leave it like this, they might try to take the scribe's vacant position and exert influence over the pantheon..’
Things have changed since the scribe first discovered his presence and tried to bring him in..
At that time, not only did she not know that he was her enemy, but more importantly, she herself was alive..
Fortunately, he wasn't the only one who didn't like him, so it wasn't that difficult to set things up..
Isn't politics all about pretending to be polite on the outside, but using any means and methods for one's own benefit??
‘And if you are at the top of any organization, you will naturally become a politician..’
The clergy were no exception..
They say it's a religious union, but if you look at it closely, it's just an individual organization..
‘Pantheon can never give up. How long have we been working on this place?.’
Countless denominations from countless dimensions, and the overwhelming and diverse types of sacred power that come from them..
Divine power, the most special power among supernatural powers, had been stagnating in one place for a long time..
That alone made San Francisco the most special place on Earth..
Yeah, to put it simply,···.
It was said that this was the most suitable land for new abilities to sprout..
‘Fortunately, the association is actively supporting us, so we can do something. First of all, what should we do with that saint?···.’
The moment I was so lost in thought.
His head suddenly turned to the side..
I felt someone's gaze beyond the curtained window..
He carefully got up and pulled back the curtains..
I wasn't doing anything particularly suspicious anyway, so there was no need to get stabbed..
And right after I glanced at the source of my gaze through the curtain,.
His expression twitched slightly and then returned to normal..
‘···That's definitely.’
He was a person I knew about in advance through careful investigation..
Normally, there would be no need to pay much attention to it, but in the current situation, it is an entity with a history that can only cause particular concern..
‘Priest from Outerica.’
Is it a coincidence??
After all, when Saint Heinrich visited, a priest of the same order was walking around like that.···.
‘It's ominous.’
He glanced at the back of the priest as he slowly walked away, then looked up at the sky..
As if that was the intention from the beginning..
the next day.
Immediately after the disciplinary action against Walter, a saint of the Quilladia Church who violated the Pantheon's rules, was decided..
The conversation between Heinrich and Pantheon, which had been postponed once, was concluded..
***
“Damn, I feel like I'm going to search because my head hurts..”
Andrew Weaver, sitting on a soft single-seater sofa, buried himself deeply and sighed..
I stayed up all night using my abilities in response to a sudden order, and my fever was rising due to a pounding headache..
‘If this continues, I'm really going to die from overwork..’
This mission was particularly more difficult than usual..
That's right too···.
“America comes out of nowhere?”
The target of this observation was San Francisco, USA, a location close to the other side of the world..
It was natural that the further away you looked from where you were, the more energy you wasted..
Moreover, it was not just an ordinary place, it was a place no different from the sacred place of the Pantheon.···.
‘I don't know how they got the priests involved..’
This would probably have been absolutely impossible without collaborators who actively responded internally..
No, if it weren't for the special 'medium' distributed to them in the first place, their gaze wouldn't have even reached there..
Because he really didn't know anything about the Pantheon..
“Wow, is the immortal king really trying to conquer the Earth??”
When considering the connection between the person who gave the order and the subject of the investigation, one could not help but think so..
“Phew, it doesn't matter to me anymore..”
Since you're bound by a contract anyway, you can't escape..
If I had to wish for anything, it would be that Korea be as peaceful as it is now.?
Thanks to the magic tool, there were no language problems, and since I was getting paid a lot, there was no other place better to live than here..
‘Oh, and long vacations too..’
When I thought about vacation, I somehow felt energized..
Andrew, remembering a small wish that could never come true, tapped the keyboard to transmit the collected information, then quietly closed his eyes and resumed work..
‘If I do my best this time, I might be able to get a really long vacation..’
same time.
Andrew was not the only one who moved with the same purpose..
All kinds of supernatural abilities, such as fate manipulation, clairvoyance, and astrology, were attempted with one goal, and all the information collected was sent to one place and slowly began to form a certain framework..
and finally.
“···I found it.”
In the middle of a data center filled with numerous mechanical devices.
Even though the high-output air conditioner was running at full power, a low voice rang out in the sweltering heat..
Thanks to the internal response using a hacking tool, while verifying a lot of information in the electronic data discovered, we were able to confirm suspicious access in one of them..
Hesperon, lying in a special capsule constructed by Howard, approached it for a more detailed examination..
“···what?”
At that moment.
A question escaped his mouth..
“huh? This can't be right···?”
***
Bibibig—
A sudden alarm sound.
“Huh? What is this? How did they get this far??”
In response, a middle-aged man wearing a shabby lab coat glanced at the monitor and then tilted his head..
But even for a moment.
Soon, a look of joy appeared on his face, as if he had met an old friend..
“aha! I guess this is that friend.?”
A man who was so excited that he threw away what he was doing and came to the monitor..
“Wow! We finally met—! The Masquerade Hacker!”
The doctor smiled brightly..
