Somebody Stop the Pope – 236



Episode 236

5.

Those who commit sins must receive their just punishment.

If a person commits a crime without receiving any punishment the criminal will continue to commit crimes.

rebirth?

Those who live their lives doing bad things can never reform themselves.

Unless there is some trigger they will continue to live a life of evil.

Just like this guy.

“The scale of the continent is certainly enormous. Human trafficking organ trafficking human sacrifice.”

I frowned as I looked down at the worms being roasted alive.

Countless evil deeds were floating around in this guy’s head.

A guy who wouldn’t feel relieved even if I killed him right away.

It seems as if the souls of the victims who were unjustly sacrificed by this guy are floating before my eyes.

“Kkaaaaaaah!”

The holy fire attached to the guy’s entire body is constantly gnawing at his body.

For one who has accepted the baptism of the Magi sanctification itself is extreme poison.

Even the Demon King can barely hold out so how can a mere servant hold out?

So we are controlling the fire very precisely.

If chefs came and watched me control the fire they would definitely exclaim in admiration.

Fire control is key.

Control the level of fire to cause only moderate pain.

“I will tell you. I will tell you everything.”

The position of priest was clearly one that supervised this altar.

So personally I hoped that there would be some self-respect.

That way when it collapses the ripple effect will be greater.

But perhaps because he was a low-level human being from the beginning he had no self-respect.

“I am Wang Gang the priest of this Hangzhou Altar. I have a rough idea of ​​the locations of not only our altar but also other altars. I will tell you everything… everything.”

The pain of being burned is one of the most horrible pains a human can feel.

Information about the altars around here flows out smoothly from Wang Kang’s mouth.

And that’s not all.

The Purifier’s command system means of communication etc.

He started to reveal details even things I hadn’t asked about.

An opportunist who will do anything to survive.

I took a moment to calm down and listened intently to what the guy was saying.

This guy seemed to have been quite popular with his superiors as he knew more information than the purifiers who had advanced into South Korea.

“Our main base is currently deep inland…”

“Where inland?”

“I’m also good at that…”

Whoosh whoosh-.

“Kkaaaaaaaaaah!”

Once again the flames engulf the guy’s body.

Wang Kang immediately bursts into screams.

I nodded while looking at Wanggang.

“A priest is a priest after all. You can’t easily tell me information about the main camp right?”

“Kuaaaaah! Kuaaaaah! Seriously… Kuaaaaah. I really don’t know.”

“Blow properly.”

“Really… Really… Kkaaaaaaah!”

It further increases the intensity of the Holy Spirit.

A terrible pain that burns even the soul spreads throughout the guy’s body.

In that pain Wang Gang tried to faint several times.

But I didn’t allow the guy to faint.

Forcibly holding onto the guy’s life. Temporarily expelling the magic energy residing in his body and then continuing to regenerate his cells.

The guy couldn’t even die without my permission.

That’s literally eons of suffering.

In the midst of the continued pain Wang Kang cried out in a desperate voice.

“I really don’t know. Hehe. Kkeuuuuuk. I really don’t know… Really.”

“Are you calling me correctly?”

“Please forgive me just this once. Just this once… I was so blinded by power that I… groaned.”

Black blood flowed out of Wang Gang’s mouth.

It was a phenomenon that occurred when the organs melted due to the Holy Fire.

Even in that situation the guy kept spewing out information without stopping.

How were the sacrifices that is the victims captured? How many sacrifices have been offered so far.

And who was the most recent superior to visit here?

He goes into detail about things I didn’t even ask about.

It was more like an obsession. A desperate struggle to survive to reveal everything he knew in order to live.

I recorded the whole story using the recording function built into the suit.

That was pretty useful information.

Much better information than what the guys I interrogated in Shanghai gave me.

Yang Kang who had been telling me everything he knew for about 30 minutes looked at me with tears in his eyes.

“Ugh… I told you everything. So please….”

“Are you sure the last person to come here was the Demon King of Wrath?”

“I swear it’s him. The Magi of Wrath… He gained a new incarnation and replenished his Magi here….”

This guy said that the main force was continuing to move inland.

At a speed that makes it impossible to determine the exact location.

What are those Purifiers thinking now?

“The harvest is fine.”

It’s been a while since we’ve captured a priest.

The altars we have destroyed so far have had no priests. This means that most of the priests have already fled.

This idiot watched me till the end and ended up in my hands.

It seems like he tried to tightrope walk until the end and got hit hard.

“Are you going to save me now?”

Wang Kang knelt on the floor and bowed his head to me.

I turned off the light for a moment because he was just giving out information without any hesitation.

I walked towards the guy leisurely. Then I stood in front of him and slightly bent my knees as I spoke.

“When did I say I would save you?”

At my words Wang Kang raised his head again and looked at me with trembling eyes.

“You clearly said earlier… that you wouldn’t hurt me anymore….”

“Why are you saying you’ll save my life?”

I guess this guy misunderstood something.

Hurrruruk-.

Once again sparks burst from my fingertips.

“I won’t make you hurt anymore.”

“This is different from what was promised…”

“You won’t feel pain anymore when you’re dead right? I’d rather drag you to the basement but I’ve given you a lot of information. Don’t refuse.”

“Hey you little shit-.”

Paaaaah!

In an instant the dark interior of the altar was filled with light.

And after a while Wang Gang’s screams stopped.

I looked back at the spot where Wang Kang had been.

“You’re not sick anymore. You’re a blessed kid.”

Only black ash remained there.

It was an end fit for a villain.

6.

By that evening all the Purifier’s altars located throughout Hangzhou were destroyed.

“So I took that guy’s neck and beat another guy’s head on it…”

“I just hit them in a row with a hammer. You know?”

“Haha no matter how hard Luna worked she wouldn’t have been as active as me.”

“Aiden-kun I burned the whole place where those guys were hiding. Even if you’re Aiden-kun the ability to kill people in masses is….”

After all the fighting that day this is our sect’s temple located in Shanghai.

The monsters gathered here were all bragging about how much expertise they had.

I sighed deeply as I looked at the pitiful sight.

They are all the same guys except for Lee Se-min who is drinking silently.

Still it definitely got a boost thanks to Aiden’s addition.

A task that would have taken two or three days without Aiden was completed in one day.

“So far everything is going smoothly.”

From Shanghai to Hangzhou.

The road leading inland was steadily being developed.

There was no great difficulty in securing troops.

This is because even at this moment hunters looking to make a fortune overnight are entering Shanghai.

“Luna when are brothers Jinwoo and Minsu scheduled to arrive?”

“Tomorrow. Seolhwa has decided to come too.”

“good.”

Hunters from Korea Japan and even various other countries.

There were countless hunters who wanted to help Shanghai.

They said they were helping Shanghai but I knew their intentions were different.

But it doesn’t really matter.

There was no need to stop them from being greedy as long as they did not commit crimes.

That level of motivation was something I could overlook.

“If the number of troops increases it will be difficult to manage from our side. Mr. Choi please pay attention to it.”

“The major guilds in South Korea are currently following orders without question. You can leave it to me. I will coordinate things well so that they don’t have to think about anything else.”

“As expected our CEO Choi is a professional.”

“Will you only do it Brother Aiden?”

“Hahahaha!”

“Hahahaha!”

Aiden and CEO Choi burst into hearty laughter at the same time.

A bromance between two muscular men.

…is the worst.

“Anyway the main force of the Purifier is said to be continuing to advance westward. It has also been confirmed that the Demon King of Wrath has been resurrected in a new incarnation so we must move more cautiously in the future.”

The purifiers we’ve dealt with so far are just the tip of the iceberg.

There was no telling what would happen when they switched to a full-scale counterattack.

“That’s the end of our schedule for today. Get some rest and let’s meet again tomorrow.”

It’s been a long day.

After working hard getting some proper rest was essential.

Others who heard me slowly got up from their seats.

“Should we have a company dinner?”

“I’m going to suck your breath. I won’t stop you so do it separately.”

“It’s unfortunate but there’s nothing I can do. Being a leader is a lonely position.”

Aiden nodded a few times and quickly left the office taking the other people with him.

The guy even dragged Lee Se-min who was drinking alone away and I was left alone in the office.

Only then did I take off the gloves I was wearing and wipe my face with my hands.

And then I said to the cute white cat that had been waiting for me for a while.

“what’s the matter?”

Then Snow White jumped up on my desk.

“It’s nothing special I just have some friends who want to meet the owner.”

“me?”

“Would you like to put your hand on my head?”

At those words I raised my hand obediently.

Soft glossy fur.

Just touching it makes me feel good. But that only lasts for a moment.

-Is this okay?

-Hello Pope!

Soon two familiar-looking animals appeared before my eyes.

Two shining white animals.

“Beth Rudolph.”

Those two were Beth and Rudolph spirits who had taken refuge in our holy land.

『I connected them briefly through the divine tree. The owner could go to Seoul himself but… he looks a little tired. They said they have something to tell the owner.』

What a peculiar guy.

I nodded chuckling and spoke to Beth and Rudolph.

“What’s going on? Is there a problem?”

-There’s a problem.

-That’s a very big problem too!

-I think you Pope should know that too.

If the spirits are talking like that then something seems wrong… Let’s just continue listening to the story.

“What’s going on?”

Behemoth sighed loudly at my question. Then he answered with his eyes shining.

-One of our colleagues opened his eyes.

“That’s good…”

-And as soon as I opened my eyes I was destroyed. Someone had destroyed and absorbed our comrades. The location where they were destroyed was… West of the land where the Pope is now.

Hearing that the puzzle becomes somewhat solved.

There aren’t many forces capable of doing something like that. At most there are two: Baekmyeonggyo and Jeonghwaja.

Among the two if we are talking about the power in the west the culprit is probably the Purifier.

According to information extracted from Wang Gang the main force of the Purifier continues to advance westward.

Maybe it has something to do with it?

-So I will make a formal request Pope.

Behemoth transforms into the form of a black bull.

And then he spoke in a voice full of spiritual energy.

-This is no longer a war for humans alone. My colleagues and I will also participate in this war.

[<Dimension: Earth> reaches a new turning point.]

[The ancient beings begin to fully reveal themselves.]

[<The Age of Chaos: The Great Chaos> begins.]

Things were going in a direction I couldn’t control.

Our Pope please stop this
