Somebody Stop the Pope – 294

Episode 294
1.
[The area is outside the management scope of <Dimension: Earth>.]
[The system is temporarily suspended.]
The system stops functioning.
The fact that all the systems Terra controlled had stopped meant that this area was outside of her power.
I stepped into the main temple with my colleagues.
Daesinjeon.
Unlike the outskirts which retained some of the original city features this place was a completely different world.
An important place that you didn’t show me last time you invited me inside.
Unlike the temple of the Limen sect located in Seoul a large main shrine with an indefinite length was located in the center.
“It’s a pantheon.”
Aiden nodded looking around leisurely.
The Great Hall was literally a temple for all gods.
Is this what you call a pantheon?
Countless statues of gods were placed everywhere some of them damaged beyond recognition.
“It’s quieter than I thought.”
“It’s the calm before the storm.”
I nodded to Ja-Hyeon’s question and slowly walked forward.
And then a statue with a familiar vibe caught my eye.
There was a very familiar feeling coming from that statue.
It didn’t take long to realize that it was a statue of Terra.
Terra’s statue was decapitated.
A deity who once stood on the same side as the ancient gods.
However the god who betrayed them and eventually stood on the side of humanity and protected this land.
To them Terra was nothing more than a traitor.

“Are there so many deities on this planet where atheists abound?”
Leo looked around frowning.
I looked at Leo and answered quietly.
“So many of these guys were kicked out. And finally they came back.”
A gray light emanates from the stones embedded throughout the Pantheon.
A divine power of the same color as mine.
Its divine power dimly illuminates the interior of the Pantheon.
We walked slowly into the dim light.
How long did it take to walk like that?
At the end of the long hallway the exit began to appear as a small dot.
“Everyone promise me one thing today.”
Whatever lies at the end of this road will be the most dangerous situation we have ever experienced.
In this situation there is only one thing I expect from my colleagues.
“When this is all over let’s all have a party at my house. We used to all gather at my house right? Sing Seol-hwa and invite Min-su. I’ll tell Grandma a good story.”
I hope you survive.
I hope we all survive and laugh together.
That’s exactly what I expect from them.
But I knew very well that it was the hardest thing not just for me but for everyone here.
Ja-hyeon answered my question with a smile.
“Would you like to invite my family too brother?”
“Your family is our family.”
“Your family will love it. Well my parents love my brother more than they love their son.”
A light joke that seems to ease the tension.
Everyone there chuckled at the joke.
“You should have been more filial to him. After the war send him on a trip to a nice place.”
“Oh that’s a good idea Aiden.”
“Ja-hyeon the Pope has a private island. Go there later. I heard that the villa will be completed soon. The Japanese government has hired the best architects.”
It’s an island.
Siyeon received an island as a gift.
But I didn’t know about the news of the villa’s completion?
“Luna is that true?”
When I asked Luna she shook her head as if she was dumbfounded.
“How could only the parties involved not know?”
“Luna Siwoo originally has a bit of a careless side.”
“That’s right. Looking at that it seems like Aiden and Seongha have similar personalities. The elders of old said that birds of a feather flock together and that saying is not wrong at all.”
“Friends who really like each other tend to start to resemble each other haha!”
We moved forward joking fiercely.

And finally we arrived at the center of the Pantheon.
As we opened the glass door at the end of the hallway and stepped inside a dazzling beam of light immediately greeted us.
A central hall filled with numerous statues of gods.
Among them was a high altar carved from sacred stone and various holy relics.
A girl was standing in between.
The girl bowed politely and greeted us as we entered.
“Welcome to the Pantheon. We have been waiting for you here for a very long time.”
Shin Ji-hye Archbishop of Baekmyeong Church.
She with her striking blonde hair and red eyes slowly walked down from the altar.
A pure white dress-like formal attire fluttering slightly.
Every time a bare foot without shoes touches the floor a powerful divine power is released from the altar.
Kkuddududuk.
From the altar wrapped in light black mucus spreads out in all directions.
The slime filled with disgusting divine powers quickly covered the statues.
Kuuuuung.
The statues that had been baptized with mucus began to move one by one.
That’s not just simple magic.
You can feel the class in each and every one of the statues.
“The faithful servants of the Great Ones will stop you. But Pluto would like to make you a final offer. He is generous.”
Shin Ji-hye looked straight at me and said.
“He said that if I give up my resistance and come down now he will give me a position to assist the main throne. He really loves the Pope. I am jealous. And this offer is….”
That was when.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaahh …
The entire west wall of the central hall collapsed revealing a man.
A villain who generously exudes black magic and a ferocious murderous aura.
cotton.
As soon as he appeared he destroyed the leftmost statue and spoke.
“This kind of guest arrived first. I’m a little late. Fortunately the party hasn’t started yet.”
Shin Ji-hye looked at that nameless person and said.
“It applies to you too Yushinhyuk.”
“I had forgotten the name for a long time. Thanks to you I was able to remember it. As expected there is nothing you don’t know. Is it because you are omnipotent?”
“I know you have twisted the axis of time many times. Lord Pluto asked me to tell you that he does not think you would wish for such a foolish ending.”
At those words Yushinhyuk who was not an anonymous person looked at me. Then he answered with a big smile.
“What a stupid ending. What a confusing and delightful ending! All I want is endless chaos.”
“I know full well that you only wish to end your miserable life you being who holds the fragments of Kronos.”
In response to Shin Ji-hye’s words Yoo Shin-hyeok responded by pulling a huge sword out of thin air.
“How can you reveal my most treasured secrets to others like that? Please just say a word to those gods you serve.”
Yoo Shin-hyeok looks at me.
And he shouted loudly as if he was so happy he could die.
“X. Please make sure to tell this.”
I’m not really curious about that guy’s circumstances.
He’s one of those guys I have to end up here anyway.
I raised my middle finger at Yoo Shin-hyeok who looked at me as if he loved me.
But Yushinhyuk…
Was that guy Korean too?
…I don’t know.
Yeah what’s the use of remembering that bastard’s name anyway?
Krrrrrr.
Monsters and demons crawl out from the collapsed western wall.
Judging by the fact that they’re holding out here with their magic it seems like that bastard Yushinhyuk has given them a fair shake.
Woof woof woof.
The Sword of Judgement which senses magic resonates more violently than ever.
The unclean divine power and magic gathered here shines brighter than ever to destroy all of them.
I raised the sword high and spoke to the gathered enemies.
“The bad relationship ends here.”
It was time to break the long chain.
2.
It only took about a minute for the once quiet central hall to turn into hell.
Kkwudduk.
Kuuuung.
Kwajijijik-!
Loud noises and crashing sounds echo everywhere.
The gods who descended upon the new world began to indiscriminately unleash their divine powers against my colleagues and the demons.
Rule etiquette.
There was no need to think about that in this battle.
“Kuaaaaaaah!”
Aiden swung his axe and let out a scream.
The fire contained in the tip of his axe sliced through the shoulder of the demon that was rushing at him.
But that was only for a moment as the god who was running next to him struck down both Masoo and Aiden with his huge fist.
Aiden like a veteran warrior skillfully used his magic as a shield.
Kkieeeeeeeeek!
The lion-like demon roared as he struck with a fist filled with divine power but he did not die.
Kkuddeuk.
Blood vessels extended out like tentacles to the damaged area and began to recover at an incredible speed.
I could tell it was a necromancer’s skill.
And what that unknown demon is made of.
“I completed the chimera.”
Purifier These crazy guys finally completed their research.
A crazy experiment that fuses humans and demons.
The result of that experiment is these hideous looking demons.
A demon who uses black magic.
These were monsters that the Demon Kings in Eden were unable to complete but it seems that Yushinhyuk finally completed them.
The more I look at those monsters the more unforgivable they become.
How many people must have died?
There was absolutely no guilt to be found on Yushinhyeok’s face and that is why I absolutely had to kill him.
I looked away from my colleagues and flew straight towards the center.
The sacred power of the altar is ultimately operated by Archbishop Shin Ji-hye.
If you take Shin Ji-hye’s life the gods will eventually stop.
The only consolation in this dire situation is that… the level of those who descended upon the divine realm is extremely low.
It seemed that the lofty higher deities were still holding a meeting above and only the lower deities had come down to this place.
Woohoo.
He quickly folded the space and approached Shin Ji-hye’s nose. Then in that same posture he stabbed the sword into her abdomen.
“I am truly sorry.”
Shin Ji-hye snapped her fingers. Then a shield flew in from among the relics surrounding the altar and blocked the Sword of Judgement.
It was a power that could break through anything.
However the Judgement’s black sword only slightly stuck into the shield and could not completely penetrate it.
“You are probably the only one who could put such a dent in Aegis.”
“Aegis?”
Could this be a sacred relic that only appears in myths?
But Shin Ji-hye could no longer afford to relax.
Whoosh whoosh!
“I can’t let just the two of you have fun.”
Yushinhyeok who had black flames on his back took advantage of the opportunity to strike Shin Jihye from the side.
Shin Ji-hye seemed to have reduced the impact by quickly creating a protective shield but it seems that she was not able to completely absorb the impact.
“Coolook.”
Bright red blood flowed from her mouth.
The blood flowing from her mouth soon dyed her white dress red.
Yushinhyeok’s attacks did not stop there.
Kuuuung.
As if he had been waiting Yoo Shin-hyeok swung his fist at me and I caught his fist with my left hand.
His black flames and my gray flames mixed together.
Beyond that Yushinhyuk’s two eyes are visible.
A face filled with joy.
He smiles at me.
“How about this? Isn’t this the perfect time to end this long story? So let’s put all our efforts into this. You two will satisfy me.”
The madness flowing out of his body began to consume the space.
Our Pope please stop this
