Somebody Stop the Pope – 230



Episode 230

5.

20 minutes after the battle started.

We eventually entered the temple.

I slowly entered the main hall climbing the stairs filled with the corpses of faceless people.

The inside of the temple had a completely different atmosphere from the outside.

In the end no one was allowed to enter the center of the holy land saying that the deity was the deity.

“Was our temple this large?”

Luna said as she looked around the inside of the temple.

I shook my head.

“No way. It’s much bigger inside than it looks from the outside. You can tell just by looking at it.”

“Does this make sense?”

“It means that space is distorted.”

A world outside of causality.

This kind of phenomenon may be a natural thing in this world.

A world where all the common sense we know is denied.

The divinity here has finally created a new order.

【Madness. Conformity.】

As we enter the temple the oracle echoing in our heads becomes more intense.

Everyone except for me and Lee Se-min groaned softly.

It was an obsession so intense that it penetrated their mental strength.

Even if CEO Choi hasn’t experienced this situation many times Luna and Leo have probably been through it several times.

And yet they both suffer.

That means the power of the divinity that has settled here is that great.

What if this place hadn’t run wild?

That disgusting guy probably couldn’t have gotten this strong.

It seems like they are paying a heavy price for missing the golden time.

This time I drew up my gray divine power and surrounded the three of them.

Only then could they catch their breath.

“I’m sorry Your Majesty. Your voice is too persistent and insistent.”

“I understand completely. So don’t push yourself too hard.”

The gray divine power contained my rank.

If you divide it by that level it seems like life is somewhat worth living.

I nodded slightly and then turned my gaze back to the main hall of the temple.

The main sanctuary covered with a black curtain.

A huge amount of divine power was emanating from within me.

“Mr. Semin.”

“yes.”

“Can you take the rest of the team and block this place?”

To my question Lee Se-min immediately nodded.

“That’s enough. There are only so many entrances you can enter. It’ll be much easier than blocking it from the outside. How long do you think we can hold out?”

“I can’t guarantee the time.”

Who knows what awaits beyond that curtain?

That’s why it wasn’t easy to answer.

“All right.”

But my expression alone seemed to be enough to answer. Lee Se-min quickly gathered his energy and turned his body back.

“I will be waiting.”

“Thank you.”

“…It is my greatest fault for not intervening in this situation earlier. To condone evil is also evil. As the Pope once said. So I also have a sin. To atone for that sin… I may have come too far.”

Guilt seems to be weighing heavily on his shoulders.

I quietly watched his back.

He usually hides his expression with a cheerful face but his true feelings are revealed in moments like these.

A father buried in regret and self-reproach.

No matter what I say to him now it won’t be of any comfort.

That’s why I didn’t say anything more to him.

Instead I spoke to the three people next to me.

“You can’t leave that person to handle it alone.”

They nodded at my words then followed behind Isemin while preparing their weapons.

So my colleagues all left to block the entrance and I walked forward in silence.

The divine powers swirling beyond the curtain slowly flow out and envelop my body.

It feels like my whole body is buried in tar.

I overcame that discomfort and walked forward one step at a time.

A short interrupted series of words.

Every time the oracle containing the will of the deity rings out the entire temple shakes.

I shook off all those divine powers and finally reached the front of the curtain.

And without any hesitation he tore the curtain and stepped inside.

Then Limen’s faceless statue appears.

It looked exactly like the statue located in Seoul Shinto Shrine but there was one thing different.

Gulp.

A black mucus extends from the statue of Limen.

The main sanctuary which should have been extremely sacred was painted black throughout.

Even some of the brothers were scattered.

【Your ending.】

Once again the oracle rang out and soon a black mucus gushed out from the statue.

Unlike other mucus that erupts irregularly it changes into a human shape.

It didn’t take long for it to take on a distinct shape.

A young boy a young man and an old woman.

In an instant three people appeared in front of the statue.

I couldn’t help but clench my fist the moment I saw them.

because

“The line is crossed strongly.”

Because they were the people I loved most in this world.

Demonstration.

Inwook.

And grandma.

The reasons why I gritted my teeth and tried to return to Earth.

“Brother.”

A familiar voice flowed out from the mouth of the thing that had the form of Siyeon.

“brother.”

“Grandson.”

Following the demonstration each word resonates.

The voice echoed throughout the cathedral.

It constantly harassed my ears as if it was trying to drive me crazy.

I looked at them with a hollow laugh.

It was too realistic to be a dream but closer to a nightmare than reality.

Slurp slurp.

As I stood there looking at the faces of my family black hands grew from the floor of the temple and they bound my feet with terrible precision.

But that was it.

[The system will reboot.]

[The manager of Causality has left you a message.]

– Now that the Abyss Dungeon has gone wild the inside is no longer Earth. It’s out of my jurisdiction. Do you understand what I mean? At least say hello to my hateful little brother who keeps eating away at me. See you later.

Terra’s voice rang in my ears.

Her words mean only one thing.

“There’s no need to think about things like causality.”

It means that you can increase the power.

You don’t have to worry about being limited by causality like on Earth.

Thinking that way made me feel better.

And as much as I felt at ease the anger inside me continued to boil over.

“You shouldn’t have touched the family.”

Phage support support-.

Phage crackling.

The divine power that extended from my body devoured monsters that took the form of my family.

As the divine powers become intertwined pure white sparks fly.

I walked silently through the flames.

The figure of Siyeon reached out to me but the moment the fern-like hand touched my body it shattered like a shard of glass.

It was the same with other figures.

If I were stupid enough to be fooled by illusions like that I would have died before I ever returned to Earth.

The people I truly love are outside not here.

That’s why I.

“Whether you’re an ancient god or a retard I won’t let you end it nicely. I promise.”

I flew towards the ‘eye’ that was watching me from inside the statue of Limen.

6.

Those ‘eyes’ have been watching me since the moment I entered this world.

A multitude of welcomes pass by me.

Starting with the demons who died by my hand to the Seven Demon Kings during their prime.

And furthermore even the traitors who sided with the Demon King.

Everything that had died by my hands until now came back to life and drove me crazy.

They were not mere welcomes.

Each and every one of them was another reality each with its own substance.

Kwaaaaaaaang-!

Endless enemies are pressing me.

As if to show that the division of space was meaningless the size of the main hall grew beyond measure.

The ‘eye’ begins to manipulate all my senses while hidden in Limen’s statue.

He proves at every moment that he is the master of this world.

Even though I step on the corpses of my enemies and move forward the distance between me and the statue does not decrease.

The statue remained in the same place and the gap felt like it could never be bridged.

“I hate you.”

“Even if you put Limen’s name first in the end you are a murderer and a slaughterer just like us.”

The words they spat out as they died by my hands are repeated over and over again.

I continued to move forward with the divine power in my ears.

A clear hatred of the enemy that soaks through your whole body.

All kinds of negative emotions try to invade my body at every moment.

If he had been a normal person he would have lost his mind a long time ago.

But there’s one thing that guy overlooked.

“Just do whatever you want. They deserve to die so they die. Why am I the same as you guys?”

My specialty is mental victory.

Those guys have already been defeated by me and are dead.

I don’t listen to losers.

“Just throw it away again.”

Paaaaaaaang-.

I continued to advance relentlessly blasting away at the men who were rushing at me.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t see the end.

I drew out all the divine powers that were dormant in my body and fought back.

The divine powers accumulated in Eden were unleashed without restraint and indiscriminately.

It’s a feeling of liberation I haven’t felt in a very long time.

At least this place is one that doesn’t mind being completely destroyed right?

In times like this where would you save your strength and use it?

“I rather like it.”

So I continued to attack to my heart’s content.

Whether the temple is destroyed or not is none of my concern since this is not our temple.

And that way of thinking seemed to have shocked the ‘eyes’ quite a bit.

【…madness.】

A slightly trembling voice different from the first time.

I thought you were a guy with no emotions at all but I guess that wasn’t the case?

【…why?】

The guy seemed unable to understand why I was so happy.

【Meaningless.】

“It doesn’t make sense.”

There’s no way I can kill that guy unless the distance closes.

From the beginning this space itself is against common sense.

Because it was twisted by the power of the divine.

It is virtually impossible for me to correct the rules here.

So with ‘my authority’.

“If I can’t do it on my own I can borrow the power of another being. And I have one strong supporter.”

Tsk tsk tsk.

The divine powers that I had spread out in all directions began to create gaps in this space.

A small crack appeared in the air and soon the crack spread out in all directions.

And after a while the ‘reinforcement force’ I had been waiting for appeared in the meantime.

“It’s been a while Siwoo. Am I too late?”

I smiled brightly as I looked at my goddess who had emerged from between the cracks.

“No way. You came right on time.”

Our Pope please stop this
