Somebody Stop the Pope – 229



Episode 229

3.

It only took three minutes to clear out the gatekeepers guarding the entrance.

The gatekeepers were simply swept away by the overwhelming firepower of Lee Se-min and me.

The problem started after that.

“This is…..”

The moment we passed through the door and entered the dungeon we were all left speechless.

[You have entered the Abyss Dungeon <Sanctuary of Hungry Longing>.]

[Warning! This dungeon is currently in a state of overload.]

[An unknown divine force is taking over the entire area.]

[Everything you see before your eyes is an illusion but it exists at the same time. The law of causality is distorted.]

The Abyss Dungeon was completely different from what we had imagined.

Because of the word ‘sanctuary’ I thought it would be in the form of a dungeon but when I actually went in it was completely different.

This was not a dungeon.

This place.

“…seoul.”

Definitely Seoul.

To be exact.

“The holy place of our church.”

It must have been a sacred place for our church.

From the sacred tree covered in black mucus to the temple burning with black flames.

The sky glows a crimson color.

The statue of Limen which had been placed in front of the temple had its upper body smashed and around it stood faceless figures wearing priestly garments and plate armor.

All of this was an illusion.

But the sensations in my whole body were proving that this was not a mere illusion.

The black flames rising from all over the holy land were hot and the smell of blood tickling my nose was terrifyingly pungent.

【This. Your future.】

A strange oracle echoing in my head.

And that oracle didn’t just resonate in my head.

“Your Majesty just now…..”

“Your Holiness.”

“Oh really?”

It simultaneously echoed in the minds of my colleagues sitting next to me.

At first I didn’t understand the story about causality being twisted.

but.

[Abnormal access detected.]

[@##@!!????]

[!##$sys[email protected]#@#!#@system###stop-]

When I saw the message window pop up before my eyes I could understand what it meant.

This is not an area governed by Terra.

Gulp.

The place where that unpleasant deity rules.

It was as if this place was a new world created through reality.

【Eradicate. Recreate. Our goal.】

Faceless figures constantly rise from the floor.

It was a huge number like something necromancers would do.

But there was one thing that was fundamentally different about them from the undead.

I felt only magic from the undead but I felt divine power from those guys.

Eating raw as usual was virtually impossible.

“Purifier bastards… Is this why you couldn’t take control of the dungeon?”

I couldn’t help but frown at the divine power that seemed to press down on my entire body.

Even that twisted divine power is ultimately divine power.

It means that the energy acts in opposition to the purifier who uses magic.

Lee Se-min who had been quietly listening to me from the side clenched and unclenched his fist as he spoke.

“Don’t you get along well with the Pope?”

I shook my head at that question.

“That’s not true.”

Just because you can’t take advantage of divine power doesn’t mean your compatibility is bad.

In addition I recently opened up a new means called ‘Gyeok’.

“If the compatibility is ambiguous you can just crush it with force. Isn’t that right Luna Leo?”

“you’re right.”

“Just smash it and that’s it.”

Leona Luna also had a lot of experience fighting enemies with divine powers in Eden.

Because there were also traitors who sided with the Demon King.

So I’m not too worried.

But there’s just one thing that worries me.

“This is their holy place.”

The location was too unfavorable.

On the other side the divinity directly governs everything in this holy place. This means that he can raise his troops endlessly.

In this case the strategy is the same as for necromancers.

“Your Majesty’s command.”

“It pierces the heart in one breath. That’s all.”

“…Over there?”

Luna raised her hand and pointed to the enemies that had already filled the Holy Land and I shrugged.

“Then what else is there? Or just die from exhaustion while dealing with those things.”

“Hey bring Raphael too.”

“I already regret it now.”

To deal with that number of enemies you need tremendous firepower.

That too physical firepower.

All of the area-of-effect techniques I possess are based on divine power making effective suppression impossible.

But what can I do?

“If there are no teeth there are only gums.”

“I’ll take the lead. The destination is… the temple right?”

Lee Se-min said radiating energy from his entire body.

His energy begins to swirl like a giant storm.

I nodded slightly at his question.

“Yes it is there.”

The relics that form the center of the holy place are clearly located in the temple.

After hearing what I said Lee Se-min took a deep breath and then threw his fist forward.

Paaaaaaaaaaah-!

His vision was momentarily dyed purple and soon a condensed energy shot out from his hand.

The power of Isemin that clears a path from where we stand to the temple in one breath.

Luna who was watching the scene from the side said something.

“…It’s much stronger than I thought?”

“But China is number one. They should do that much.”

“That’s true.”

I looked ahead drawing up my divine power.

The path had just opened up due to Isemin’s attack but it was quickly being blocked.

Ultimately the key to this battle is a quick decision.

If you get stuck here you’ll obviously lose your stamina due to the constant wheel-to-wheel combat.

The key is to finish quickly.

“Let’s all go.”

The Abyss Dungeon raid has begun in earnest.

4.

dripping.

Inside a cave where water drips from the ceiling.

An old man bowed his head toward the young man and said:

“Your Majesty it is said that Kim Si-woo and his party have entered the Abyss Dungeon.”

The young man answered the old man’s report with a smile.

“It’s pretty late. I thought Kim Si-woo would find it a little faster.”

“They say it took quite a while to clean up the city.”

“It’s the second week today… Kim Si-woo was more cautious than I thought. Isn’t that right Elder Il?”

“I think so too.”

Elder Il repeatedly bowed his head and showed respect to the young man Myeong-un.

Anonymous slowly got up from his seat.

And he continued speaking as he approached the beads placed on one side of the cave.

“That was the biggest reason we left Shanghai. The damage was too great.”

“Please forgive our incompetence.”

“At least we had to deploy two of our Demon Lords to try it… I understand but we couldn’t waste our energy on something like that.”

<The Sanctuary of Hungry Longing> also dealt a considerable blow to the Purifier.

The Abyss Dungeon suddenly appeared one day.

The nameless one knew that the owner of that place was an ancient god of the Earth.

I couldn’t even guess how many troops it took to figure it out.

“Shanghai was quite a strategic point you know. Our wrathful Demon King who was supposed to lead the troops and clear out the place got his head cut off and was summoned back and the other idiot Demon Kings also got killed while doing useless things. It’s really nice to see. Isn’t that right Lucifer?”

He said looking at the crystal.

Then after a while an eerie voice echoed inside the cave.

– Couldn’t you have moved it yourself?

“Are you saying this knowing that we don’t match well?”

-The same goes for us. Their divine power just like Kim Si-woo’s eats away at the soul.

“That’s your role from the beginning. Tinder mosquitoes cockroaches. Everything else. You’re nothing more than expendable items. You were the ones who clung to the Earth to keep you here.”

Nameless finally reached the crystal ball. Then he slowly placed his hand on the ball.

“There is a saying on Earth. Lee Jae-yi. The ancient gods are unpleasant enemies to Kim Si-woo as well. There is no reason to refuse the cleaner who came directly from a neighboring country right?”

-Are you saying that you are giving up this great opportunity to absorb the rank of an ancient god? You have already reached the rank of a demon lord…

“It’s a level.”

He walked forward slowly holding the crystal ball in his hand.

“I didn’t know you would be so concerned about my status. I’m so touched that the Demon King of Wrath himself is taking care of me.”

-I have no idea why you are raising Kim Si-woo.

“Raising me? That’s not something someone who was kicked out to Earth by Kim Si-woo should say.”

The nameless one drew up the magic and injected it into the crystal ball.

Then after a while.

-…Ugh.

A voice of pain echoed from the crystal ball.

Anonymous nodded enjoying Lucifer’s moans.

“I found a spirit in the Tibetan region. It is a spiritual being that fought against the ancient gods in the past. They also have their own status. Wouldn’t the spirits be easier and tastier prey than the difficult ancient gods?”

The moment of decisive battle is near.

A time when maintaining power is important.

There was no reason to waste troops at a time like this.

“If you were defeated and ran away like a wrathful demon lord then at least listen to what I say. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous to have your balls cut off by a human?”

-…I didn’t know there was another human being that strong.

“How many times do I have to tell you that you are no longer absolutes in this world?”

The demon lords are definitely strong.

Its very existence is enough to be called a disaster.

But it’s not like there was no one to oppose him.

The system that governs the Earth sent Earthlings to other worlds and among those who returned from there were many incredibly strong people.

Each and every one of them was a powerful variable.

“I knew that Lee Se-min was strong but I didn’t know that he was that strong. So let’s just ignore that part.”

Anonymous placed the crystal ball on the floor and kicked it hard with his foot.

Then the crystal ball that Lucifer was sealed in crashed into a pool of water in the cave.

“Elder have you completed what I instructed you to do?”

Elder Il answered the anonymous words while kneeling.

“If you were talking about passing on information about the Abyss Dungeon to Baekmyeonggyo then yes I did.”

“Well done.”

The anonymous smiled brightly.

“I would like to see for myself what is happening inside there.”

Baekmyeonggyo is a group of people who follow the ancient gods.

Would such people just pass by the Abyss Dungeon where the ancient gods are said to be waiting?

“I’m really looking forward to it.”

He said in a voice full of joy.

This fight will not be easy for Kim Si-woo.

In the end Kim Si-woo and the Limen Church will lose a lot in exchange for taking Shanghai.

“Elder One.”

“Please speak.”

“I think we need to make an example of those who brought foreign powers into this land. Send the two Bone Dragons to Beijing. It is finally our turn to make a move.”

“All things are according to the will of the Great One.”

“The world we desire is not far away.”

Madness was flashing in the nameless eyes.

The elder simply bowed his head and worshipped him.

Our Pope please stop this
