Chapter 370 – God
#370.
Gaon, who shared a hug of relief for a while, stepped back, carefully letting go of Chorin as his hand tapped him on the shoulder.
She reached out with both of her hands and grabbed Gaon’s cheek, lightly! She turned her head away after leaving a kiss.
His eyes were on Israel.
“Suho number 1, Israel. Can you guess what I’m going to say?”
“… Whatever you ask me to do, I just do it.”
“Even if I wish for your death?”
“Of course.”
Chorin rather frowned at her thoughtless answer, revealing her displeasure. Because she has no intention of reciprocating this fanatical belief.
But for immediate use, it couldn’t be better.
“If you are, you know all the evil deeds that Pope Regulias and other cardinals have done with the Order. Is that right?”
“That’s right. Pope Regulias was a cautious man. He did not always come forward directly, but directed things through me or other cardinals. If you order, I will take them all.”
“Then I will purify the church from now on.”
“I take orders.”
After a brief conversation with Ezrael, Chorin approaches Gaon and opens her arms.
“Miss Gaon. Hug me.”
“Yes?”
“I am slow. In order to follow, Gaon needs help. Or is it okay if I go with Israel in my arms?”
“Never.”
She dared to spit out her absurdity that she was being held by her affair man in front of him. Gaon smiled even though he thought it was so embarrassing.
She had honestly become a god, she thought, so she might keep her distance in the future for the sake of preserving her dignity.
But she was relieved to see her actively closing her distance.
Her adopted son, Chorin, twisted her body around to stabilize her and gave her instructions.
“Israel. Take the lead.”
“Yes.”
As soon as the instructions were given, Israel immediately leaped in the direction of the healing church’s holy ground. In an instant, it becomes a dot and goes away.
Gaon left the rest of the Guardians in his party and immediately followed behind Ezrael.
They alone are enough to clean up the church from which almost half of the Guardians have left.
Gaon kicked the air and asked.
“More than that, Mr. Chorin. What happened? According to what I heard, the fragments of the divine attack flew at Chorin-san arbitrarily.”
“Oh, is that it? Hmm… Long story short. Because it’s so complicated. But to put it simply, it should be said that what was divided into two has become one.”
“Have you become one?”
It is hard to believe that the Godhead Fragment and Chorin were one. When Gaon asked again, Chorin explained her explanation carefully, as if understanding.
‘Yes. Goddess of Life, Martina. She was annihilated in a battle with the Dimension Eaters. However, right before her extinction, she split her godhead and gave one to the hero and one to her saintess. Among them, the hero’s possession was directed to Earth due to the distortion of the dimension. And the deity fragment became a life and settled in the belly of a certain woman.”
“That woman…”
“That’s right. I’m mom. I am a life created by the Godhead. Maybe it happened because Martina was the goddess of life. In a way, Martina can be seen as my mother. She has two mothers.”
“…”
She speaks lightly, but her expression is inexplicably complex. It must be because her identity, which she has built up over the course of her life, has been shaken.
Everyone would be if they knew they weren’t normal human beings.
Gaon put more strength into her hand that supported her and whispered as he pressed her body closer.
“Chorin is Mr. Chorin. Was there anything wrong with the birth process? Surin also said that she did not regret giving birth to Chorin.”
“Did you know?”
“Yes. I’ve heard of it before. She got pregnant out of the blue without any indication.”
“… It’s hurtful Not telling her daughter. You mean she’s a daughter in front of love and nothing?”
Chorin grumbled as if she was a bit disappointed that she had kept her secret for over 20 years.
But she has a thin smile drawn on the corner of that mouth, which puts her mind at ease, albeit a little.
‘I’m glad she’s feeling better.’
Gaon confirmed that no matter what anyone said, Chorin was the same as always, and hurried toward her sacred place with her busy feet.
After a while, when she arrived at the church, the attention of the church members who were busy wandering around focused on her.
It was partly because of her existence of Izrael, but more because of the intense divinity emanating from her Chorin.
Just looking at her makes her reverent, and as if her mind becomes clear, her clear aura naturally draws her awe.
They didn’t explain anything, but Chorin realized that they were in their trust and knelt on her knees.
[Hey Martina!!]
In this space where thousands of people exist, only two people raised their heads. Gaon stood confidently next to Chorin, paying no heed to the gaze asking, “What is that guy doing with his head upright?”
Chorin opened her mouth, feeling her divine power amplified through the faith of her followers.
“I salute you for supporting the healing church for tens of thousands of years since my death. However, at the same time, there are those who have committed countless evil deeds by putting the church at the forefront. In particular, the cardinals, including Pope Regulias, were conducting human experiments. I will start purifying from this moment.”
[According to the will of the goddess!]
Those who are active on the outskirts are all extremities and become parts of the church. As such, there were few people who committed particularly evil deeds, and they did not express objection to Chorin’s sudden declaration.
Rather, those with a fanatical aspect raised their voices and prayed that the pope and cardinals should be purged immediately.
Chorin stood tall in the center of such a maddening worship and received all the emotions.
Soon, starting with the Paladins, the crowd split and a path to the Holy Land was created.
Chorin hung numerous church members one after another and went straight to the Holy Land where the Pope resides.
Through her powers, she can sense all living things within hundreds of kilometers around her, so she also knew the location of the Pope.
Soon after, Chorin found the Pope and the Cardinals confronting Gale Brave in front of the secret passageway in the study.
“Get out of the way now! How dare you stand in my way!?”
The Pope continued to shout with an impatient face, wondering where her usual leisure had gone.
Of course, Gale Brave was consistent in ignoring it.
Jerk-jerk-
Meanwhile, the pope and the cardinals shuddered at the sound of footsteps behind her and turned their heads to find Chorin and put on a puzzled expression.
The pope, who was the first to make a decision after being silent, not knowing what to do, lowered his head.
“Hey Martina. Congratulations on your resurrection.”
“”Congratulations!””
It seems that they are thinking of passing on their sins. Perhaps all traces of human experimentation have already been erased.
Gaon looked at him and laughed inwardly.
‘A fool.’
That’s all I could think of. Of course, I knew that I was not calm because I was already at a dead end, but it was worse than expected.
Chorin made eye contact with them for a moment, then said as if she wasn’t worth dealing with anymore.
“Israel. I will execute you immediately.”
“Yes. Dear Martina.”
“Let’s take them all to the plaza.”
Chorin has only Martina’s limited powers and memories, but she is not fully assimilated. Of course, the current situation is bound to be unfamiliar.
Wanting to have time to adjust slowly and take time to adjust as soon as possible, she simply dismissed the pope and cardinals and turned her back on them.
The plan was to expose all their evil deeds in the square and execute them.
They screamed like pigs, saying that this was unfair, but they couldn’t reach Chorin at all and scattered in vain.
Those who can’t even demonstrate their divine power because they’ve tried their hand in advance are no different from ordinary people.
After a while, all the preparations were finished and the execution ceremony was held in the eyes of the church members.
Not only the pope and the cardinals, but all involved, as well as the guardians who transported the godhead fragment and the saint, were brought to the judgment table.
Each and every one of them was a great person, so from the mouths of the church members who were watching, they vomited exclamations and booing in proportion to them.
Chorin confirmed that she was ready, and she exclaimed.
“The evil they committed will be remembered forever. That sin must be paid with life. Even after death, the soul cannot be reincarnated!”
Judgment comes with her declaration.
Wow!
A dazzling green radiance erupted from Chorin’s outstretched hand, and she bestowed both a blessing and a curse.
For those who did not commit crimes, it gave vitality that would not be exhausted even for days and nights, and for those who committed sins, it gave death.
The pope, the cardinals, and other people came into contact with each other in an instant, and soon, not only the blood and skin, but also the muscles and bones were reduced to a handful of life force and disappeared without a trace.
Chorin healed the wounds of those who were injured by dispersing that vitality again.
Immediately, the old man’s waist straightened, the age spots on his face disappeared, and his skin tightened.
Church members as well as the citizens of the capital who came to hear the rumors cried out and praised the goddess.
It was the moment when the resurrection of Martina, the goddess of life, spread from the capital to the entire Union.
***
That night, Gaon had a drink with Chorin alone for the first time in a long time. In fact, it was the first time since Hayeon joined.
Uncharacteristically for Chorin, she gulped down the strong drink from a large glass and poured out her complaints.
“Ha… I’m worried.”
“What?”
“From now on, you have to govern the church. It’s nice to be able to use her powers, but what a struggle this is. The pope and the cardinals have all been torn apart, so we’ll have to hire new ones, but I don’t know anything about the order. I am very worried.”
Even if she was a god, she could have left all the work related to the church’s operation to someone else, but the problem was that Chorin was so unfamiliar with the church that even those who would entrust the task could not easily choose.
If something similar happens after you hastily put it in your seat, it will only cause you trouble.
When Chorin was suffering from her headache, Gaon mentioned a person who suddenly came to mind.
“She is more than that, how is she a saint? Shouldn’t she be advised when the saintess wakes up?”
“Well. She used her powers to erase her brainwashing, but she still hasn’t woken up. It must have been a blow to the mind.”
“Well, that can’t be helped. She would have been hastily brainwashing her and not caring about her stability.”
The human brain is a very delicate organ. Even if you mobilized divine magic in such a place, it was a luxury to hope that you will be fine even after rubbing it as you please.
After excluding the saintess from the list of helpers, Gaon brought up a story about another person this time.
“Then what about Archbishop Antonio Superior? Isn’t he famous for his integrity and innocence? Originally, he was hated by the pope and cardinals and was half-degraded. I think he’ll be fine.”
“It is. But it will take some time until it arrives. He also has to decide who will take over the Barrymore branch. Ultimately, this is what I need to find out on my own. Uh…”
Seeing her sigh again, Gaon shrugged her shoulders. As she held out her glass, Chorin bumped hers against it and drank her drink again.
As she continued her calm conversation while looking at the night view of the holy land, she said with a small exclamation as if she remembered Chorin.
“Miss Gaon. I have a favor, would you mind?”
“Please? What are you asking for?”
“I use my authority, but there is something I want to test.”
“Well, do whatever you want. Isn’t that strange?”
“You have to do that to know? Stay still.”
The playful smile was strangely uneasy, but Gaon did not budge as he saw the approaching hand.
Soon after, the seomseom corn touched his forehead and spread a brilliant green light. The halo of light was intact in his body and performed miracles.
Aaaaa!
“Oh! Uh huh?”
His whole body tickled, and suddenly his limbs shortened and his vision lowered.
When all the changes were over, he had turned into a boy about 10 years old.
When their eyes met, Chorin grinned.
“Success!”
