Chapter 375 – Heavenly Demon Church
Gooooo!
“… Juni, what on earth did you do?”
“Uh? Uh… I just unfolded it to see if the divine power was very heavy, so I thought I couldn’t contain that heaviness in the reigning treasure.”
Huge footprints where you can’t see the floor.
The eerie sound of the wind echoes from how deep the floor is.
(True) Heavenly Demon Lord Limbo with divine power added.
Its power was so powerful.
So much so that even an angel with the terrifying nickname “Slaughterhorse” Opens his mouth in bewilderment at the traces!
‘I didn’t mean to do it like this.’
However, Jun, the caster of the skill, was not entirely satisfied with its power.
He unleashed his skills with the intention of chasing away the martial artists who were attacking him.
However, its power was so great that all the martial people were reborn into a form that had to be mosaiced.
In addition, one-third of the spiritual power that had been painstakingly accumulated was used to develop the technique.
I had thoughts of using my divine power, but I never intended to use it to that extent.
“Kunlun, our Kunlun boasts a long history!”
It was embarrassing and a waste.
But Jun couldn’t bring himself to show his feelings.
It was because there was someone right in front of him who was more embarrassed and distracted than he was.
Kunlun’s mission is to delay the descent of the Heavenly Demon as much as possible.
Perhaps because they wanted to fulfill their mission, almost all the Kunlun faction’s martial artists rushed at Jun.
Of course, their end was a lump of blood that urgently needed mosaic treatment.
No matter what his mission, Jang Mun-in, who tried to avoid conflict, was the only one who was able to avoid it.
Nevertheless, Jang Mun-in was not happy.
It has to be that way.
How can we be happy that we survived when not only did we fail to fulfill the mission of the clan, but the existence of the clan seemed to have been completely destroyed.
In the end, Jang Mun-in of the Kunlun Sect was transported in a carriage with his soul completely lost.
Although he was an enemy, he was a wise man, so I couldn’t help but feel sympathy, and sorry for him.
――――――
“There are 3,000 people left?”
“Hol ho ho. Yes. That’s right, Heavenly Demon.”
There were not many people who left the castle with Jang Moon-in.
Most of the Central Plains people, excluding warriors, merchants, and officials, remained in the castle despite the threats and appeasement of the previous three groups.
The number of people is as many as 3,000.
In comparison, Jun and his group (adventurers including the Sprout Guardians and Nahiru) numbered only 200.
I was worried that the world itself would be able to control 3,000 people with only 200 people, but fortunately it was possible. That too, very easily.
The remaining Jungwon people followed Jun’s every word with great admiration as if it were the words of God.
“Thank you, Grandmother Cheong-ah. Thanks to you, it saved me a lot of trouble.”
“No. “It’s the Heavenly Demon Church for the Heavenly Demon, so of course we have to help.”
It was also thanks to the active help of 300 members of the Heavenly Demon Church, including Cheong-ah, in control.
“No. Thank you very much. If it weren’t for you… Ugh~”
Jun shook his head as if he didn’t want to even imagine it.
It has to be that way.
I don’t know if it was because they were infected by being around warriors, or because Chinese people are Chinese, but quite a few people from Central Plains were imbued with the Sino-Chinese ideology that all peoples other than Chinese people were uncivilized.
As a result, the gaze of the people of Jungwon towards people from another world other than Jun was not so kind.
In the case of Wale, he was hit by a stone thrown by a midfielder while trying to talk to Jun.
In such a situation, what if people from another world, not the followers of the Heavenly Demon Church, stepped in and tried to control it?
I can guarantee that problems big and small would have arisen one after another.
‘Before Nahiru brings other adventurers, we have to somehow erase the damned Chinese ideology from people’s minds.’
After those who stayed and those who left, Nahiru left control of the remaining people to Jun and left the labyrinth with a few adventurers.
It was to bring adventurers to manage and defend the castle recovered from Elance.
No, actually it was much more than that.
Among them, there may be people Jun hasn’t seen in a long time.
In any case, the Chinese ideology of the people of Central Plains had to be destroyed before they came.
We will become allies and fight together from now on, but even if such an idea exists, it will not be of any help.
‘What should I do?’
It was a headache.
It goes without saying, but erasing a specific thought from a person’s head was never easy.
I had to explain it so that I could understand why the idea was wrong, and even if it was explained well, it took a long time to understand and accept it.
In my heart, I wanted to ignore it because it wasn’t my business.
But I couldn’t.
‘I was the one who said I would take them. I said it with my own mouth, so I have to take responsibility.’
Are you ignoring me because it’s annoying?
That was something only a child could do.
Fortunately, though, it wasn’t without reward.
Woo~
‘It definitely fills up quickly because there are a lot of people.’
(True) Divine power decreased by two-thirds while using Heavenly Demon Lord Limbo.
Thanks to the faith of 3,000 people, it was completely full in just one day and was growing again.
However, the speed was very slow compared to the growth when he first encountered the followers of the Heavenly Demon Church yesterday, when he first encountered the workers at the castle, and when he unleashed the (True) Heavenly Demon Reign.
‘It probably means that there is no one else to trust.’
By witnessing the appearance and miracle of the Cheonma, there was no one among the 3,000 people in Jungwon who did not give faith to Jun.
If you wanted to increase your divine power again, you had to accept new ‘believers’ other than them.
Fortunately, Jun had a very effective means.
This is the number that has been rolled over by a bunch of believers called ‘Church of the Heavenly Demon’.
“Grandma Cheongah, why are you calling me Cheonma?”
“Of course, it’s because we want to believe that you are the Heavenly Demon.”
“Uh… You’re just calling me that because you want to believe me?”
“Hol ho ho. Yes.”
“…”
However, I wasn’t sure if it would be okay to use that number.
As expected, almost everything about the religion called Cheonma Shingyo was ambiguous.
Other than that all demons follow the Heavenly Demon, there was no other clear doctrine, its history and source were impossible to confirm, and the most important information about the Heavenly Demon did not even exist.
Of course, even so, it was much better than founding a new religion.
Even though it was ambiguous, it existed at least as a legend, so the people of Central Plains could believe it without hesitation.
‘Still, I want to at least know for sure whether the previous Heavenly Demon is alive or dead.’
If the previous Heavenly Demon is alive, and you act as a Heavenly Demon without knowing anything, you could end up fighting with the previous Heavenly Demon over the Heavenly Demon Church.
And I didn’t think it would be possible to just fight.
So I asked Cheong-ah what to do in such a case, and the answer she got was truly shocking.
“At that time, Heavenly Demon can fight and win.”
“What if I lose?”
“Then, I’m going my own way. Whether Heavenly Demon increases his strength or gives up his status, we follow the victorious Heavenly Demon.”
“… It seems like it doesn’t matter who becomes the Heavenly Demon.”
“To put it bluntly, yes. Hol, hole, hole.”
The Heavenly Demon could be anyone.
Ordinary farmers, beggars on the streets, and even prostitutes in Changgwan were no exception.
However, all demons had to be defeated and subdued in the strong self-respect called Cheonma Shingyo.
And furthermore, it had to show the possibility of eventually reigning in the sky.
If he did that, Manma could call him Cheonma and honor him as much as he wanted.
“Even if it’s a piece of shit. Hol, hole, hole.”
“Then do you see that possibility in me?”
“Sure! Shinpung, which all the martial arts people unanimously declare to be the future of martial arts! You trampled on that person so cruelly. How could there not be a chance?”
Cheong-ah’s breathing became rough, as if she was remembering the time when she defeated Shinpung.
Just a moment ago, she just looked like a beautiful old grandmother, but as she became excited that she might be a member of a religion that believes in demons, her eyes filled with madness.
“It’s been ten years since I saw the Heavenly Demon, who shows potential. Priestess, thank you so much for letting me know about the existence of the Heavenly Demon. “I was honestly skeptical when I visited the priestess after hearing her words, but please forgive this old woman for daring to doubt the priestess.”
“Oh, no. Are you okay? So, please raise her head quickly, Grandmother Cheong-ah.”
For a moment, Cheong-ah becomes a beautiful old grandmother and bows her head and apologizes to Sophia, who is staring at her in a corner of the office.
Sophia was taken aback by the surprising change in attitude, but waved her hand saying it was okay.
“But why do you call Sophia a priestess?”
“The priestess welcomed us warmly without saying a word as we came here based on the tradition that a new Heavenly Demon would appear under a different sky. How could that be possible if it were not for a divine being sent down from heaven? And…”
“And?”
“As befits a priestess of the Heavenly Demon Church, don’t you have a heart overflowing with power? Hol, hole, hole.”
“Grandma!”
Cheongah laughs and expresses Sophia’s powerful heart with her hands.
While Sofia was screaming with her face turning bright red, Jun nodded her head in agreement without Sofia knowing.
