Somebody Stop the Pope – 290



Episode 290

6.

Our expectations that a battle would break out as soon as the gates of the sanctuary opened were pleasantly wrong.

“I’ve been waiting.”

As we stepped into the sanctuary ‘angels’ with eight wings approached us.

There are five angels in total.

I squinted my eyes to gauge their fighting prowess.

But none of them looked dangerous. They were possessed of divine powers but they were not threatening at all.

These guys probably act as messengers.

I nodded lightly fiddling with my knuckles.

“You guys… are of human origin?”

“Yes I have been chosen by the great ones and have been given the glorious mission of conveying their words.”

“What’s your name?”

“Not yet.”

I couldn’t help but feel bitter as I looked at the Chinese man smiling gently in front of me.

As expected.

This entire vast city has fallen into the domain of the ancient gods.

Just looking at this ‘angel’ is enough.

An angel with an oriental face.

It must have been the people living in Beijing who were turned into this type of people.

“You asked me to convey that fighting is not a wise choice.”

“You were talking to me directly earlier right?”

“The meeting of the great ones has begun. I apologize for speaking on your behalf.”

She bowed and greeted me politely.

I couldn’t help but laugh at the ridiculous sight. And it seemed like Aiden who was looking around the city behind me felt the same way.

“Are you thinking of taking me on a tour?”

Then the ‘angel’ smiled and nodded.

“I have been ordered to serve you as best I can. If you wish I will show you around the sanctuary. As you can see everyone here has accepted the new order. Isn’t this a desirable world where there are no unfortunates?”

This artificial city is so creepy that just looking at it gives you goosebumps.

It was a city where everyone had a smile.

The troops prepared to stop us were all smiling and holding their weapons.

“We are happy in the order created by the great ones. There is no conflict in this world. Everyone becomes one and moves forward toward a great purpose.”

“You mean living in a cage is happiness? It’s no different from being a pig or a dog. What’s the point of living like this without free will?”

At Aiden’s laughter the angel looked at Aiden without changing his expression.

“Aiden the Chieftain of Glory. The Great Ones are very interested in you. They have called you a hero representing Earth. Isn’t this a truly blessed place compared to the world you have been through?”

“Something like this?”

“At least here children aren’t dying. But what was your world like? There was a series of massacres of children and women. Weren’t you distressed inside?”

“Hahahaha!”

Aiden laughed out loud at those words.

Then he immediately grabbed the angel by the collar and lifted him up.

“Humans are inherently imperfect beings. No matter how much you talk what you do is nothing more than treating humans like livestock. I will not become livestock. If I have to die I would rather die as a human. Stop trying to convince me with sophistry.”

“That’s a shame. I thought a smart person like you would understand easily. But… what about you Raphael?”

“Well since it doesn’t work on barbarians are you trying to convince intellectuals this time?”

Raphael smiled and waited for the angel to speak.

“If you will cooperate with us just a little we will send you back to where you belong.”

There is only one reason why Raphael cooperates with me.

To return to one’s own world.

To reunite with the family he left behind and finally complete his revenge.

What if they offered to grant that wish?

To be honest I didn’t have the confidence to catch Raphael.

“The meeting will be a success and the new Lord will help you. With the power of the Lord opening the dimensional gate will be no problem.”

“That sounds like a pretty tasty proposition. What should I do?”

“You just have to fight against those who would destroy the new order.”

“That’s an interesting deal. But let me ask you one thing. What do I need to see to believe you? I’m an unbeliever so I don’t believe unless I see it.”

Raphael looked at me with a smile and shrugged.

“I appreciate your tempting offer but I don’t think I can accept it because I’m already dealing with the Pope. The price for two-timing is death. And I don’t have the confidence to stop the Pope.”

The angel nodded still smiling at Raphael’s answer.

“That’s too bad.”

There was one person who was offended by the angel’s attitude.

That was exactly Ja-Hyeon.

“Why don’t you ask me?”

Ja-Hyeon expressed his dissatisfaction by swinging his sword.

The other Irregulars seemed to be upset because the angel they were trying to persuade did not speak to them.

The angel smiled brightly and answered Ja-Hyeon’s question.

“Are you willing to fight on our side?”

Then as if he had been waiting Ja-hyeon raised his middle finger.

“Eat this.”

“okay.”

So the Angel’s Irregular Inclusion Operation ended in failure.

Still she didn’t lose her composure.

“There is nothing we can do. A disastrous future awaits those who do not accept order.”

The angel waved his hand lightly.

Then divine power began to pour down from all directions.

“Pope Kim Si-woo you are qualified to attend the meeting as a divine being. You can attend the meeting whenever you want. What would you like to do?”

That was when.

Terra and Limen’s voices rang in my ears.

-Accept the offer.

-We will protect you.

There was no reason for the goddesses to force me into a corner.

I asked the angel quietly as I listened to their voices.

“What about everyone else but me?”

“You may choose to tour the sanctuary or return to where you came from. As long as you do not attack the sanctuary we have no intention of fighting right now.”

In short I won’t fight unless you hit me first… that’s it.

I made a quick decision.

“I’ll go alone so everyone stay back.”

Then Aiden frowned and said.

“Are you okay alone? You know what those guys are capable of.”

“Since the goddesses said it’s okay I’ll be okay somehow. I’ve got a rough idea of ​​their power so let’s go ahead and come up with a strategy.”

My colleagues looked uneasy at my words but they followed along obediently.

Aiden said his axe resting on his shoulder.

“If you don’t come back within three hours I will completely destroy this city.”

“It’s sturdy.”

“Wouldn’t you be able to close your eyes in peace if I get revenge?”

“…I’m not dead yet.”

That concludes the situation.

After telling my colleagues about this and that I looked at the angel again and said.

“How do I attend the meeting?”

Then the angel smiled and waved his hand.

Slurp.

Then a staircase made of clouds appeared in the sky.

The stairs led up to the clouds that hung over the highest part of the city.

It’s a meeting.

…don’t be scared.

Something will work out.

7.

I climbed the stairs and finally reached above the clouds.

A place filled with divine power.

As soon as I got up the tremendous force emitted by the gods began to be felt from all directions.

And there it is.

“There must be a guardian.”

“I won’t let you go alone.”

The manifested Terra and Limen had arrived in advance and were waiting for me.

The two goddesses came to me and held my hands.

The right hand is Limen.

The left hand is Terra.

The divine power and status of the two goddesses began to protect me like a shield.

Thanks to that it wasn’t too difficult.

If there weren’t two of them… I might have been overwhelmed by the other gods.

“A temple above the clouds. It looks like something you would see in Greek or Roman mythology.”

I looked around for a moment and muttered.

Then Terra shrugged her shoulders.

“You’re just lacking imagination. Are you saying that greedy people are just trying to look holy and going crazy? Just think of it that way.”

“Terra Beijing…..”

“It’s too late. I understand that you want to save them but their souls have already been taken.”

It seems there is no way to save them.

I took a deep breath and walked forward. Then Limen who was holding my right hand whispered softly.

“Don’t be nervous Siu. As long as we’re here they can’t do whatever they want to you.”

“How can I not be nervous in this situation?”

In effect it’s like entering the enemy’s mouth.

The moment those guys close their mouths I’m sure I’ll turn to mush and die.

It was definitely on a grand level.

“I see your highness has received the invitation.”

How much time has passed?

A deity with a familiar face walked out from inside the temple.

A being that spreads dark divine power from its entire body.

It was Pluto.

Pluto said spreading his arms towards me.

“I think this is much better than just exchanging voices. Since our Pope has come here with his two guardians… I guess we’ve already achieved half the success? The combination of the soon-to-be-imprisoned Lord and the Lord of the other world! They go together quite well.”

As Pluto snickered an unexpected curse came out of Limen’s mouth.

“You idiot why do you keep talking to me? If you’re going to talk to me at least sit in the main seat you piece of shit.”

“Limen we have already given you several chances. The chance to return to your little world. But you have refused. I promise you one thing. As soon as you sit down on the throne I will take you.”

Terra chuckled at those words.

“And the other greedy brothers gave you the seat you were given?”

Then Pluto laughed loudly.

He said caressing his chin with his hand.

“It will be so.”

“Does it sound to me like nothing has been decided?”

“Just suppress it with force. The other brothers have not yet fully recovered their strength. On the other hand I have regained all my former strength. It is thanks to the war that the foolish humans waged. I gain strength from countless deaths. Don’t you know this better than anyone else on Terra?”

Pluto continued talking as he slowly walked towards me.

“As I gather souls for unification my power also grows stronger. Don’t humans say that this is killing two birds with one stone?”

I answered the guy’s words in a calm voice.

“Has anyone asked?”

“…what?”

“When we see something like that we usually call it an explanation bug.”

Pluto burst into laughter at my carefree remark.

“You’re really an interesting guy. Did you lose your fear because two goddesses are protecting you? Well since you’re a guest now I’ll forgive your rudeness.”

He clapped his hands lightly.

After a while beings with a sense of dignity began to appear from all directions.

Those who were scattered to countless worlds.

Exiles who endured eons of time with their dirty desires and finally returned to this world.

Some of them like Pluto retained their human form but most of them had the appearance of terrible monsters.

But they were all gods of high status.

“Siu.”

Limen said gently stroking my right hand.

“Keep your eyes on these distorted beings. You must remember clearly what the words of the gods who are twisted by desire are.”

“…Limen.”

How can I deal with all those deities?

When I face the enemies with my own eyes my mind starts to get complicated.

I now realize that I have reached the end of this long story.

So what will be the ending of this story?

“Siu.”

Once again Limen calls me.

I slowly turned my head and looked at her.

She smiles at me brighter than ever.

“Don’t let go of my hand until the very end. Just remember that.”

Our Pope please stop this
