Somebody Stop the Pope – 49



Episode 49

5.

The guy is floundering in the air.

A shape that appears to be about 1 meter at most.

A distinct divine power was felt from the terrible monster with dozens of limbs.

Moreover at this very moment the guy is pouring his divine power into my arm that is holding his neck.

【Serve me. Serve me. Serve me. Serve me. Serve me.】

It wasn’t like a conversation between people.

It was an oracle that burrowed into my head and at the same time an evil obsession.

【I am the true God. The one you must worship. Your savior. Worship me.】

A green light flashes from the center of the guy’s face which is painted black.

I met his gaze with a faint smile and said with a mocking tone.

“What are you talking about you idiot?”

Those voices just now were an oracle given through an unquestionable divine power.

However it is incomparably different from Limen’s trust.

While Limen’s oracle simply conveys one’s will this guy’s oracle ‘plants’ the will in the target.

That must have been the reason why all the players of the Dokkaebi Guild except for CEO Choi ended up like that.

Even though he is a divinity on the verge of being forgotten a divinity is a divinity.

It could only have been fatal to the players on Earth who had never experienced divine power.

“Pope Kim you must be hearing that voice too. Isn’t that a really fucking voice? I’ve been an atheist my whole life. I’m not the type of person to fall for a pseudo-idiot like that. Hahahahaha!”

Of course this is excluding CEO Choi.

It’s amazing that he can go against the will of the gods in the Holy Land but isn’t he also using his own magic to bind his subordinates?

Anyway he is a monster.

I said playfully to CEO Choi who burst into laughter.

“I don’t think that’s something you should say in front of religious people.”

“Haha. That little god is really a piece of shit. How can we bring our kids back?”

As he said that CEO Choi glared at the monster he was holding in his hand.

It is impossible for someone with enough power to go against one’s will to not know of the existence of divinity.

I nodded slowly in response to CEO Choi’s words.

“of course.”

This monster forced the members of the Goblin Guild to worship him through the divine power that spread throughout the holy land.

The way to stop worship is simple.

Kkardududuk-!

【Gyaaaaaaaaaah-!】

“You can just erase it.”

All you have to do is destroy the object of worship.

I put my free hand straight into the monster’s stomach and the creature started to struggle.

Woof woof woof-.

The guy focused his divine power that was embedded in the earth onto me.

The divine power that supported the holy land was projected solely toward me.

They say it’s a holy place with only ruins but this place is ultimately this guy’s holy place.

A deity can exert absolute influence only in its own holy place.

【Disappear. Disappear. Disappear.】

Pressure is coming from all sides as if it will squeeze my body at any moment.

The moment the guy’s divine power took over my surroundings my entire vision began to shimmer like a mirage.

And through the mirage a space dyed pitch black was revealed.

A deep abyss with no end in sight.

I could see that the abyss was where this guy had been hiding all this time.

Sarrurururuk-.

The darkness flowing out of the abyss reaches out to me. More precisely to the monster caught in my hands.

But I didn’t care and grabbed my left hand. Then a strange sensation came from my fingertips.

“Found it.”

He immediately took his left hand out of the guy’s stomach still holding the foreign object.

The object that came out of the guy’s stomach was none other than a small gray stone.

A tiny stone that would fit perfectly in a child’s hand.

At first glance it looked like an ordinary stone but that small stone was the source of this terrible holy place.

“…a holy relic.”

[Birthstone]

●Item Type: Holy Relic – ???

●Original dimension: ???

●Description: A stone that contains someone’s birth. It once contained a fervent wish but now it is nowhere to be found. It has been consumed by an unknown force.

[The otherworldly relic <Stone of Birth> is synchronized to the system.]

[You have discovered the core of the Abyss Dungeon <The Holy Land of Fallen Faith>.]

There was no need to drag it out for too long.

I tightened my grip as I drew on my divine power.

Passs …

Gray powder immediately flowed down between his finger joints.

That was the moment.

[You have completed the dungeon <The Shrine of Fallen Faith> by destroying the core! You have completed the dungeon quest.]

[The identity of the reward <???> is revealed. <Pope DLC – Holy Relic> is updated!]

[You can now use <Relic Points>. Each time you collect a relic from another world you will earn points and with those points you can summon a relic from the <Limen Order>.]

A message window that scrolls down countless times.

But that was only for a moment and soon an illusion began to appear before my eyes.

A girl stands before a stone tower taller than me. She is wearing a dress made of roughly sewn animal skins.

The girl places a small stone in front of the stone pagoda with her fern-like hands.

And he speaks in a whisper.

“Make everyone happy.”

The girl who had been praying with her hands clasped together slowly walked away from the stone tower and only after she disappeared did a soft white light begin to rise from the stone.

[You have confirmed the <myth> engraved on the other world’s sacred relic <Stone of Birth>.]

[By absorbing the <Myth> of the relevant relic you have acquired 1 <Relic Score>!]

[You can use 1 <Relic Point> to summon one Relic of the Order! You need 5 points to unlock the next Relic.]

The illusion that had been shimmering like a mirage dispersed before my eyes as a new message window appeared.

Perhaps that was the moment when divinity was first born.

【talent….】

That was the end of it.

Saruruk-.

The monsters that were struggling in my hands the ruins that contained divine power everything that made up this place was scattered along with the mirage.

Then things that had been twisted began to fall back into place.

“I’m the representative!”

“Why me… why me sir?”

The players of the Goblin Guild have been freed from brainwashing.

“Sir! Are you okay? Everyone move quickly! Check for injuries first!”

Sihyeon’s team who had been waiting outside the barrier also quickly joined.

And then a loud high-pitched voice was heard from far away.

“Your Majesty! Are you okay?”

I chuckled as I heard Luna’s voice. Then I dusted off the gray powder that had been stuck on my gloves.

Then a message window with a red border appeared before my eyes.

[Warning! This dungeon will disappear in 1 hour. Escape quickly!]

“Complaining.”

It was a terribly vain ending to a holy place that had once been home to the faith and hopes of countless people.

6.

Getting out of the dungeon wasn’t that difficult.

Ironically it helped that the players of the Goblin Guild had been brainwashed by the gods.

The god who was the master of the holy land probably had no intention of killing them but rather of turning them into his fanatics.

Thanks to this there were no deaths and except for CEO Choi who was unilaterally attacked by the brainwashed people there were no serious injuries.

Most of them only complained of mental fatigue.

anyway.

This is the temporary tent of the Goblin Guild set up at the entrance to the Abyss Dungeon.

“Ugh. Would you like a drink? The taste of alcohol that you drink after shedding blood is incomparable to anything else in the world.”

“Yes yes. Mr. Choi knows a thing or two. The alcohol really sticks to your mouth. Earth’s alcohol is pretty good too isn’t it?”

“Hahahaha! Enjoy your meal Luna! Kids! Go to my car and bring me some more cases of vodka!”

A drinking party took place inside the tent.

CEO Choi was sitting on a makeshift chair with bandages wrapped all over his body gulping down vodka while Luna next to him blew on a bottle of vodka.

I said this while looking at the two of them with a pitiful look.

“If you drink like that while seriously injured you’ll usually pass out.”

“In battlefields wounds are sometimes disinfected with strong alcohol.”

“You spray it directly on the affected area you rascal.”

“Wouldn’t the wounds inflicted on you by my children naturally remain in your heart? Think of it as disinfecting the wounds in your heart! Hahahaha!”

“Haha this is just fucking….”

“Your Majesty! Beautiful words!”

“…This is fucking bullshit…..”

Leo too and Luna too.

Somehow those who came from Eden seem to get along well with CEO Choi.

I took a sip of water with a calm expression.

I like drinking too but I don’t feel like drinking right now.

I felt upset.

Maybe that’s it.

[The main quest has occurred!]

[advent]

●Type: Main – Scenario

● Description: The Age of the Gods has arrived. In the future many gods will come to Earth. Some of them will be friendly to humanity but not all of them will be friendly to humanity.

The mythic power they possess will be a great driving force to strengthen your cult. Absorb their power and further increase the power of your cult.

●Completion Conditions: Absorb 3 <Otherworldly Relics>

●Reward: Special skill <Myth Tracking> 10000 divine points

It must be because of this quest window that appeared before my eyes.

A new quest that was updated as soon as you cleared the dungeon and went outside.

To summarize the content simply it meant that new deities would continue to appear on Earth in the future.

“ha.”

It was a hassle in many ways but it couldn’t be helped.

Besides we have already experienced dealing with the divine several times in Eden.

Because some of the gods of Eden had joined forces with the Demon King.

Furthermore just because they possess divine powers does not mean they are on the right path.

This is because those who follow the <evil gods> can also possess divine powers.

The definition of the term “evil spirit” is simple.

A deity that causes harm to mortals.

The guy I dealt with earlier was also worthy of being called an <evil god>.

“The problem is that these types of guys will continue to appear in the future…”

Judging from the contents of the quest window even more deities will appear on Earth.

There must definitely be some <evil spirits> among them.

In other words there is one more thing to do besides tracking down the Demon King.

A situation that can’t help but be annoying.

But my irritation didn’t last long.

“Representative!”

A player from the Goblin Guild came into the tent where the drinking party was taking place in a hurry.

CEO Choi frowned as he looked at his subordinate.

And he asked clutching the bottle of vodka in his right hand.

“Can’t you see that you are having a good time with the nobles?”

“Well… something came up.”

“What? The dungeon was destroyed what’s going on?”

“I think you need to come out immediately.”

The man took a breath for a moment and then continued his report in a quiet voice.

“We are currently in a standoff with people who identify themselves as the ‘Baekmyeonggyo’. It seems that they have no intention of backing down easily.”

“What? Those religious bastards? Why them all of a sudden!”

“We still don’t know that…”

Baek Myeong-gyo.

The sudden appearance of guys we had forgotten about for a while.

“ha.”

I snatched the vodka from Luna’s hand and took a sip.

I couldn’t sleep tonight either.

When will I be able to sleep comfortably at home?

Our Pope please stop this
