Chapter 980: Will of god (4)



When this voice rang out, everyone turned to look in the direction that this voice came from. To our surprise, there was a group that was walking over in the robes of the clergy, but we didn't recognize them at all.

The one who was leading them was a kind looking old man and it was clear that he was the one who had spoken. After he spoke, he came forward to look at the other priests and nuns who were standing there in a daze.

The way that he looked at them was filled with disdain.

Once he was done looking at them, he gave a nod to one of the cloaked figures behind him and said, "Take these idiots away. Make sure that those in charge of the Zeno Religion understand what these idiots have done."

The cloaked figure nodded before taking off the cloak.

Everyone was shocked to see this cloaked figure after he took off his cloak because he was wearing a magnificent set of armour. This was pure white armour that clearly wasn't normal

This seemed like armour that only those knights of the highest rank could own.

It wasn't just this single knight who came forward, but also the other cloaked figures who took off their cloaks to come forward. It was a group of knights that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

All of them came forward to surround the priests and nuns, but the priests and nuns wouldn't go that easily.

"Don't you dare touch us! Do you know who you're offending!?" The priest that took over for the head priest shouted this.

After all, there wasn't anyone in this world that didn't recognize the Solista Religion. The Solista Religion was also the religion that the priest in my town came from. Even though the Zeno Religion had many followers among the humans, there were more followers of the Solista Religion since their followers weren't just humans. Solista was a god that was worshipped by many different races, so there were far more followers than the Zeno Religion.

The Solista Religion was considered one of the top three religions in the Holy Empire, so the power that they controlled wasn't weak. At the same time, the pope of said Solista Religion should be considered one of the most influential people in the Holy Empire.

Even if he wasn't exactly on the same level as the Merman King in terms of title, the pope could be considered to have the same level of power.

After introducing himself, the pope suddenly came forward towards me.

That put me in an awkward position since I couldn't exactly just step away because that would surely offend the pope. So the only thing that I could do was stand there and wait to see what he wanted to do.

The pope didn't mind this at all as he came forward to take my hand.

He brought my hand up in front of his face and looked at the mark that was glowing on the back of my hand carefully.

I was surprised to see that that mark was still glowing after the priests of the Zeno Religion had been struck by the divine punishment. But when I looked at it closely, I found that it was a different glow.

There wasn't the same heat coming from my hand, but rather it seemed like this glow was from the resonance of the pope's holy power. There was this holy energy that was around the pope's hand as he held my hand which created this resonance effect.

After looking at this mark on my hand for a bit, the pope suddenly lowered his head and said, "This truly is the will of the gods to deliver one with the Mark of God at a time like this."

The rest of his group who had been silently standing there suddenly fell to their knees and started praying.

The awkward thing was that they were all praying in my direction, as if they were praying to

me...
