Somebody Stop the Pope – 206



Episode 206

6.

Corpses are pouring in from all sides.

Both old and young.

The traces of those poor people who died in the same miserable condition press upon me at every moment.

“Please save me.”

“Please please save me.”

The corpses rushed toward me each screaming desperately.

It’s bad taste.

They were already dead so it was Belphegor who was directing this situation behind the scenes.

The Demon King of Laziness.

Her specialty is directing.

Because he does not prefer to move directly he prepares the battlefield in advance and lures his enemies into it.

Because of that I remember that there was an analysis that said that the individual’s fighting power would not be strong at first.

But that was just an analysis.

Paaaaaaaang-!

The fighting power of Belphegor whom I faced directly was not weak at all.

Rather he was more difficult than other demon lords.

I ran forward burning the flesh of the corpse that exploded in front of me with my holy fire.

Kwarrrrrr!

Black thorns sprout from all sides.

The venom on the tip of the thorn flickered in the dim light and extended towards my body at incredible speed.

This place is already in the middle of Belphegor’s trap.

“My dear Pope will you be my doll?”

Belphegor had dragged me here with great preparation.

In fact this battle was unfair from the start.

That guy was possessed by the incarnation of the Demon King so even if I killed him here and there he would definitely be resurrected again.

Me on the other hand?

If you die it ends here.

My side bet their lives but the other side bet nothing.

“When I think about it it’s kind of annoying.”

I feel feverish.

It was the same with the last release and Baal too.

That rotten mind that says you can be resurrected in another incarnation when you die.

My anger is rising to the top of my head.

“Just hit me once.”

When I reached 30 meters in front of Belphegor I jumped up and closed the distance.

And then he simply and foolishly struck down the sword of judgment he was holding in his right hand.

Fencing isn’t really that complicated.

Even though I only took two months of intensive training at Eden I know a lot about swordsmanship.

I stab the sword I am holding into the target accurately and powerfully.

That’s swordsmanship.

Chorrrrrrrr!

A curtain covered with dozens of eyeballs appears before Belphegor.

At first glance it appears to be a single curtain but in that short period of time more than 200 curtains were overlapped.

But that’s it.

Booooooooo.

In front of the absurd and legendary fraudulent relic the Sword of Judgement it is nothing more than a piece of paper.

The black sword I swung gently cut through the curtain and I also mercilessly cut down Belphegor’s body that was looking at me from behind it.

The squishy feeling of the tip of the sword cutting flesh is conveyed.

And after a while

Bam.

Belphegor’s head fell to the floor.

“Interesting. Didn’t you originally use black?”

Despite his decapitated head Belphegor smiled as his head fell to the floor.

“I don’t think you liked using tools…. Humans’ tastes change sometimes. Okay I’ve confirmed that your tastes have changed.”

The sight of the neck falling to the floor with its mouth agape was truly bizarre.

I mercilessly crushed the guy’s head with my foot.

Quasi-.

Normally someone would die at this level but how could there be a normal person among the demon lords?

The moment I smashed the guy’s head in he started regenerating rapidly.

A body without a neck.

Belphegor’s head regenerated from near his cleanly severed neck and the counterattack began immediately.

Hundreds of eyeballs embedded in the guy’s armor.

Those eyes are looking at me at the same time.

And at the same time my vision became black.

[Passive skill <Divine Protection Lv. Max> defends against powerful mental interference.]

…mental interference?

In this situation?

“What on earth are you thinking-.”

That was when.

Something began to walk out of a black sphere that had been positioned in a corner of the basement.

“I know how to use tools too. How do you like my cute dolls?”

“This fucking guy is for real!”

The beings that walked out of the sphere were none other than children.

Dozens of children who looked like Shiyeon’s age.

Although powerful magical energy was gushing out from the children’s bodies the children were still alive.

“I put my heart and soul into making them as soon as I got here. They are my masterpieces so I hope you like them.”

The smile on Belphegor’s lips grew deeper.

At the same time little children started running furiously.

I frowned as I looked at the kids.

And then he looked at Belphegor again and said:

“Is that all you have prepared?”

“Kill those children and kill me. You will have the blood of children on your hands. That alone will satisfy me. A Pope who slaughters children in vain! Oh the mere thought is too ecstatic.”

Belphegor’s eyes sparkle with madness.

“You know what? We’re broadcasting live right now? Now every human on Earth is going to see you for who you are. Throw away your good-natured facade and you’re actually a guy who’d do anything to win.”

Those kids running towards me.

The amount of magic that Belphegor personally injected was beyond imagination.

If he came to me like that and exploded I wouldn’t even be confident that I would be okay.

“This is a perfect development. I can’t contain my excitement.”

Belphegor never intended to kill me from the beginning.

This is exactly the scene he wanted.

To wipe out those poor children who have been infected with the evil spirit with my own hands.

“Sir… I’m in so much pain. Please save me.”

“Sir…you came to save us right?”

“Please. My parents are somewhere here too…”

The children come running to me from hell.

The magic that had consumed the children’s bodies did not consume their brains as if mocking them.

So the children cried out in despair. They must be afraid of their bodies moving against their will and they must be afraid of this hell filled with corpses.

“What are you doing? You must kill me and those cute children. That is how you become my Pope. You must free those poor little lambs.”

Those children will surely die if purified with divine power.

The body’s erosion is so severe that it will shatter the moment it touches divine power.

“Do you remember Eden?”

Belphegor’s sticky voice echoes in my ears.

A terrible memory from Eden.

Those memories that I had tried so hard to keep buried in the back of my mind are coming back to life.

People who died at my hands due to being eroded by magic.

“I’m going to do the same thing I did back then.”

I silently raised my sword while listening to Belphegor’s voice.

And he smirked at Belphegor.

“I get it now.”

“…what?”

“That’s why Terra told me about the ranks. I think I understand now.”

Phew whoosh.

I plunged the Sword of Judgement into Belphegor’s heart and immediately grabbed Belphegor’s neck with my left hand.

And at that moment a message window appeared in front of me.

[Your rank temporarily overpowers your opponent’s rank.]

[The Demon King <Belphegor> bows to your orders.]

[However it cannot be subordinated due to its poor compatibility with <Energy: Magi>.]

[You can absorb some of the opponent’s skills!]

“…You didn’t reach the level in Eden? Pope you are now….”

“I will take back what I said about serving raw fish while still alive.”

I finished speaking while glaring at Belphegor who was struggling in my hands.

“Since you’ll be resurrected in a different incarnation if you kill me anyway… let’s change our thinking. You’d be perfect for Kyobojae. No complaints right?”

“My cute dolls are you…..”

“That’s a good idea that just occurred to me. Watch closely.”

Before I knew it the children who had gone through hell had arrived in front of me.

The moment when the magic was about to explode violently from the body of the child standing at the very front

[The system has figured out your intentions.]

[You can gather them into your clan.]

The gray energy that flowed out of my body enveloped the children.

And at that moment a message with a gray border appeared before my eyes.

[The divinity that was latent within you as <Chaos: Good> fully blossoms.]

dump.

The children who had come through hell all fell to the floor.

The fear that had gripped the children’s faces also fell along with them.

7.

In the blink of an eye the situation was over and some of the troops from our church who had responded to my call entered the basement of the building I was in.

It is said that the moment Belphegor was completely subdued by my hands the monsters active in this city also disappeared.

Subduing the Demon King.

What was virtually impossible in Eden was remarkably easy on Earth.

It was all thanks to <격>.

“Is that the incarnation of Belphegor?”

Luna asked me this time still carrying the red-stained hammer on her back without even having time to wipe the blood off.

I nodded and answered.

“uh.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to kill them?”

“Isn’t it a bit of a waste to kill him? I think it would be perfect as a teaching aid. And if I kill him anyway he’ll be resurrected in another incarnation. In that case it would be better to seal him here and find a way to annihilate his soul.”

“It seems dangerous.”

“It won’t be that dangerous since we have the Sword of Judgement. I’ve also taken special measures.”

Luna shrugged her shoulders at my words.

“If Your Majesty says so then there won’t be a big problem. But Your Majesty.”

“huh?”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen that gray aura.”

Luna said pointing to the gray light shimmering on my body.

The divine power that Limen normally used was a pure white light but the divine power that I was emitting now was a gray light.

I actually don’t know the English for this one.

The energy that flowed out of my body as I opened my <Gyeok> was divine power.

“Is it strange?”

“It’s not strange but rather familiar. Should I say it has a strong His Majesty vibe?”

Phew.

I drew up the gray divine power in my left hand and the pure white divine power of Limen in my right hand.

Limen’s divine power was still usable.

The divine power of gray… seems to be the color that no one associates with me becoming a lower god of Limen.

“The Purifiers were broadcasting this live.”

“why?”

“The plan was to broadcast live the sight of me killing those children with my own hands.”

As I said that I watched as the soldiers belonging to our church supported the children.

“Anyway his head is really spinning in a bad direction. If that scene had been broadcast live… the backlash would have been significant.”

If I had been broadcast killing those children it probably wouldn’t have turned out so well no matter what the circumstances.

At the very least it would have been a fatal blow to our church and my image.

And that’s probably the picture they wanted.

If I had not attained divinity it would have been more likely to happen that way.

“Still I got a lot of useful information.”

I nodded slowly and looked down at Belphegor’s incarnation.

And he said in a low voice.

“The Purifiers gave us a gift so now it’s our turn to give them one.”

Our Pope please stop this
