Chapter 79: 78

A late night. I brought the hook from my hotel room and launched the Aura Blade. It stretched more than 1m and was shining bright enough to be colorless with magic lights.

The last battle had once again grown significantly. Now I was a high-ranking master swordsman.

Although it was a pity that he could not freely use the hook’s magic at will, he was satisfied nonetheless.

Because I’ve gotten used to the feeling.

While maintaining a calm emotional state, it only happens once or twice from time to time, but I thought that if the same battle as the last time happened again, I would be able to use the hook’s magic enough.

‘I’m getting closer to the Mind Master. I can definitely feel it.’

The reason I thought so was due to the nature of the hook’s magic. The hook’s magic had been activated by my mind. However, what used to be triggered only once before, now happens only once, but also normally.

This was also clear proof that the state of my sword was getting closer to the Mind Master.

‘After all, I must have experienced the realm of the soul during my coming from my previous life to the present.’

To be honest, my growth rate is unimaginably fast. What was barely at the beginning of the Master at the time of his new life was now exceeding the status of an advanced Master. If it hadn’t been for a place I’d been to once, it wouldn’t have been this quick.

Knock, Knock, Knock.

Then I heard someone knocking on the door. I put the hook back in the sheath and said.

“Who is it?”

“It’s me.”

It was Shura. I gladly opened the door.

“Yes. come in.”

“Yes.”

Her face was slightly flushed

“What happened?”

“Until now, I was meditating while watching Dalahan, but something strange happened at the end of Dalahan.”

“What phenomenon?”

“It faded quickly, but I saw a little light coming out of the tip of the sword.”

I made a startled face. That’s a harbinger of what happens just before the aura blade manifests.

“Okay? What kind of meditation were you doing?”

“I think it was about balance, but I don’t know.”

“You do not know?”

“Yes. It seems that light is darkness, and darkness is also light. It is clear that they are different, but the two are always in harmony.”

That’s a good sign. Everything in the world is like chaos. All meanings are ambiguous, and all definitions are vague. So, if you say you know for sure, it means you don’t know very well, and if you don’t know at all, it means you are getting closer to the truth.

“Yes. Then it’s going well. Keep going.”

“Yes?”

“Originally, the world came from one. So when we find the source, everyone becomes one. You can see that light and darkness are one. One example is deLorde and morality. People think that the two are completely different, but in fact, if you dig deeper, they are one.”

Shura opened her eyes slightly.

“No, how?”

“What is your deLorde? To put it positively, you want your own happiness, right?”

“Yes. right.”

“And morality is the attitude one should take in order not to harm the happiness of others, right?”

“Yes.”

“In other words, from the point of view of the whole human being, the two are the same. The deLorde for human happiness. I am human and you are human too. So, deLorde is not evil, and morality is not good. If you make a person happy, deLorde or morality becomes good, and if you make a person unhappy, anything becomes evil. okay?”

Shura made a face of great realization.

“Ah······. okay.”

“So, don’t make the distinction between good and evil. As far as I know, heaven never distinguishes between good and evil.”

Shura tilted her head.

“Why is that again?”

“It’s homework. Go do it.”

I pushed Shura’s back. The Master’s Path is a one-way road, but what if I teach you everything? Even if it’s hard, you have to learn it yourself.

After I let Shura out, I looked out the window at the night view.

‘Oh yeah. The problem is that we humans recklessly distinguish between good and evil.’

There is an inherent kindness. That’s me. There was also the evil from the beginning. It’s you. Therefore, humans should not discriminate between good and evil. If humans carelessly distinguish between good and evil, to you and me, you are absolutely evil. In other words, it means that it will become an absolute evil that all mankind must get rid of.

Well, to put it simply, it’s a similar story.

However, while blaming others for being introverted, humans also blame themselves for being introverted. Perhaps this human element will last forever. But you can’t just say it’s bad. Because of this factor, humans conflict and compete with each other, and because of this, human civilization develops.

The real God, you made the world too complicated.

***

It was the first day of the opening of the Hall of the Holy Spirit. While Divinum Castle was recovering the traces of destruction caused by Urbos, the Great Hall of Divinum was preparing with all its might for today’s grand festival.

I got ready to go out around late in the morning and left the hotel with my friends. It was to celebrate Padilla, who is having a ceremony in the Hall of Holiness today.

First, I stopped by a nearby flower shop to prepare a large number of bouquets. It may be a place where Padilla is reborn as a holy being because she did nothing more than handing out congratulatory greetings.

“Abdul. It’s a celebration of your queen. Look at your subordinates and tell them to bring a bouquet of flowers.”

“Yes.”

“You have to be bold. Otherwise, things like us will be pushed away by stalkers who have come to see us, and we will just be buried.”

“Yes?”

I pushed General Abdul’s back in curiosity.

“I have something to do. The meeting place is very busy. Anyway, you have to work hard and do well without getting caught up in the atmosphere later on. Understand?”

“Yes. All right.”

I put a satisfied smile on my lips and set out on the road again.

As we left the flower shop and headed to the Great Hall of Divinum, we could see the crowds gathering towards us. Abdul and his escorts were intercepting them, but it was very difficult to get through them.

“You are Baekmyeon-nim, who defeated the steel monster, and the great saint of Yin and Yang.”

The spectators did not spare our worship and prayers. It didn’t feel bad at all, but it was a bit awkward.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

Until last year, I was a terrible villain that would never come again in the world, but now I have become a hero that will never come again. If you take off your mask and reveal your identity now, I’m curious to see what your reaction will be.

“Now, please follow me.”

When we arrived at the main gate of the Great Hall of Divinum, the guarding paladins welcomed us. They did not ask Shura and me to disarm, let alone a checkpoint. Shura is a great saint of yin and yang, so it was natural, but I was quite surprised. Since I wasn’t a member of the Great Divinum Temple, and I wasn’t supposed to be a guardian at the moment.

“Okay. Others, please go through the entrance procedures here.”

In front of the entrance office. The paladin who was guiding us sent the escort forces including Shura inside and called me separately. He made a polite request to me with a very serious expression.

“Baekmyeon, will you continue to follow me?”

“What’s going on?”

“Lord Izenberg wants to see you closely.”

“Me?”

“Yes.”

“Great. okay.”

I gladly followed the paladin without question.

Lord Izenberg was responsible for all the guarding and protection of the Divinum Holy Land. If that was the case, there was no reason to call me.

There was also the Urbos incident a while ago, and there must have been another incident yesterday and today.

“Baekmyeon. Come on.”

“What the hell is going on?”

“Sit down for now.”

Lord Izenberg sat me in a chair in front of the reception table. His actions were courteous but also showed urgency.

“Tell me now.”

“Baekmyeon. There is a problem.”

“What?”

“Yesterday, a large number of corpses were found while manpower was sent to break the barrier and clean the hall of the Holy Spirit.”

I humbly scratched the bridge of my nose. It looked like the corpse of Alon’s mercenaries. Previously, while carrying out the quest, I had trouble finding a way to dispose of the corpse, so I had Armida move it to the Hall of the Holy Spirit and it was different, but again, it seemed that the corpses were found.

“Oh, did you?”

“Now, the rumors are spreading quickly. It seems that the atmosphere is not serious. So, we need to find out the cause as soon as possible, but it is currently under way. I have no idea where the corpses came from.”

No one could enter the Hall of the Holy Spirit until the barrier was lifted. A large number of corpses were found in places like this, so everyone would be shocked. Because it’s the first time in history.

I quietly clenched my chin.

“But what do you need in a hurry? Let’s settle this after the event.”

“There is no time.”

“Why?”

“The recent incident has stirred public sentiment, and reformist clergy are blaming the denomination with a loud voice. So, I tried to calm public anxiety by holding this festival on a grand scale, but in the process, another incident like this occurred. No one knows how far the situation will spread if left alone. The rumors must be put to sleep quickly before they spread.”

I patted the reception table with my index finger, sinking into trouble. The action that I had thought of adding a quest before was spreading into a big event that threatened the denomination in conjunction with the Urbos incident that occurred the other day.

That’s good.

This is because the rotten denomination should also take this opportunity to come to their senses and, if done well, they thought that the ‘Church of Salvation’ could also surface externally.

‘The Crusade of Salvation must be found and killed at the root.’

The ‘Crusade of Salvation’ was an extremist clergy group. Although it is a very pure religious group, its radicality and reckless activism program cause great suffering to mankind living in the age of destruction.

It was because of the false belief that those who cooperated in the destruction of mankind were saved by God.

Thanks to you, I also suffered to death several times. No, an army of monsters has gathered outside the castle, and what if the gates are left open? everybody wants to die

Even now, I get feverish just thinking about these children, and I wake up abruptly from sleep. Anyway, if I get my hands on it, I’m going to tear all my limbs to death.

And even for the sake of mankind, it must be eradicated early. In the era of destruction, there were not only one or two castles that were taken in vain because of them.

“Well then, we can think about it together… If I ask you to solve it all of a sudden, is it me?”

“Is there really no way?”

“It’s not at all, but it means that we shouldn’t solve it in a hurry. Just let the rumors spread.”

“Then it’s going to be a big deal.”

“Of course, it’s a big deal. The denomination leadership will get a little bit of reproach, and the voices for reform will grow louder. However, if we solve this case hastily as if covering it up, problems may continue to arise.”

Lord Izenberg narrowed his eyes.

“What do you mean?”

“I know because I worked a lot at detective agencies. There must be someone working on this behind the scenes. No, does it make sense for a large number of corpses to be found in the Hall of the Holy Spirit, where no one can enter until the barrier is lifted? Someone was trying to fuck you up.”

Lord Izenberg shrugged his chin as if plausible. Because it didn’t make any sense at all. The culprit was me, but there were tricks anyway.

“Ugh. It could be.”

“So, don’t be too hasty. This case needs to be resolved, don’t rush to cover it up. If we cover it up and another incident occurs, it’s just not as good as covering it up.”

“Then what should I do?”

“Just watch it for a moment. And they spread rumors about cancer in large numbers.”

“What rumors.”

“The end of the human race is imminent.”

Lord Izenberg’s eyes widened as if it was not even worth it.

“Then the public’s sentiment will fluctuate greatly.”

“Really? You believe one or two rumors like that? I assure you, it’s just gossip and most people don’t believe it. Only a few psychos are on the move.”

“Oh, I see. But what is the reason for such a rumor?”

I clicked my tongue at Lord Izenberg.

“Tut-tut. You innocent gentleman. After pouring the priming water, we want to suppress the rumors that the church is concerned about. Because the destruction of the world tends to be more concerned with the corruption of the denomination. It’s pretty exciting.”

“Ugh. It could be. So how?”

“A lot of strange things have happened lately. Urbos also appeared, corpses were found in the halls of the Holy Spirit, how many 7 Gods did last year? Wouldn’t a proper apocalyptic theory come out if we mix all the other things together?”

Lord Izenberg shook his head. Urbos appeared for the first time in 350 years, and the discovery of a body in the Hall of the Holy Spirit and the appearance of the 7 Gods were the first events that occurred after the construction of the Great Hall of Divinum. If other events were collected and decorated as signs of destruction, a plausible apocalyptic theory seemed possible.

“Right. After that?”

“In the meantime, chase the culprit backward and catch it perfectly. And you blame them all. In order to harm the denomination, the criminals put the body in the hall of the sanctuary and defiled the noble sanctuary. So the angry god sent Urbos to punish the humans. Is it just a story? Then everything will be resolved, it’s still strong.”

“Oh, there was a way to end it that way.”

Lord Izenberg made a very satisfied face. If I do as I say, the public will be greatly shaken, but the moment it is resolved, it will be as stable as snow on a spring day.

“Besides, if the apocalyptic theory spreads rapidly, the criminals will not stand still. They say this is the right time to change strategies and try to blatantly accuse you of the eschatology.”

“Actually, it is very likely. There is no way those who want to harm the denomination will miss this great opportunity.”

I pointed my thumb at the ceiling.

“And Kronos will want this too. I sent Urbos down for nothing, and I’m in a lot of trouble right now. If you solve it like this, it’s good for the rank and good for the denomination, right?”

“I will.”

“The most important thing is to completely find the culprit. So you have to be patient to the end. Until they are fully revealed.”

“But what if he doesn’t show up in the end?”

Of course, the culprit doesn’t show up. because I am So the culprit must be made. Those of the ‘Salvation Crusade’.

“Do not worry. If you don’t reveal it, let it be revealed. Of course, it would be faster if the church could help, but that’s it.”

“Okay. I’ll talk to the Popes.”

I put a faint smile on my lips. An opportunity to catch the children of the ‘Salvation Crusade’ was prepared.

Unlike in the past, these gnomes are not secret religious organizations hiding underground, but it was difficult to catch them even now. Most of the members of the organization are scattered as monks in Jayana or a quiet country village.

However, it is a different story if you receive active help from the denomination. The denomination will have an organizational chart for them and a list of denominations.

All of them are priests or their followers.
