After Being Betrayed by the Empire, I Decided to Support the Demon King

Having served the Empire for half of his life, Ela was decisively sold out. He intended to flee to another country but was nearly beaten to death during his escape before being saved by a dragon-gi...

Chapter 123 The Purpose of [God]?

The teleportation magic circle is the only "array" that most people know. If you talk to a commoner about a "binding array" or a "summoning array," most of them will be confused, but if you say it's a "teleportation array," they will be completely clueless.

So there are still many people who can understand what you're saying...

This kind of formation, firmly controlled by the three towers, is a very important part of most novels. Whether it's the very popular "Peerless Dragon Rider" or any other novel, there will always be some teleportation array plot.

This widely known magic is a useful plot device that arouses the longing of ordinary people.

"..."

"Being received alone, we certainly have that kind of status..."

As Vera spoke, she sat in the pristine, sacred reception room without a care for appearances, looking at her companions in the church on the other side through the beautiful stained glass inlaid in the wall.

The adventurers who came to help are now receiving assignments from the Pope and several bishops. Of course, the reward offered by the Pope is a figure that is hard to refuse.

Vera shifted her gaze and focused on the colorful glass mural beside her. Her innate love for beautiful things gave her an impulse to pack the entire mural and take it back to the Demon King's territory.

Not only her, but Satan Ye also stared intently at the glass decorations all around them.

"..."

In silence, Yinla took a sip of tea and quietly looked at the pope who looked like a teenager... He was about fourteen or fifteen years old and looked like a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth.

Although Illa had no direct contact with the Pope, she was unsure if she remembered him wrong, but in her mind, the Pope should be a kind old man who looked to be in his sixties... wearing a crown and papal robes, and occasionally showing a sly expression.

Instead of this seemingly naive and sincere young pope...

Could it be that his father died again? Wait, why did I say "again"?

Thinking this, Illa glanced at Satan Ye without leaving a trace, thinking of Isabela and Yuther, and Cassiopeia's father... The King (Pope), what a troublesome position!

"Mr. Yinla, the glass is so beautiful..."

Satan Ye sighed, looking at the glass mural beside her, making no attempt to hide her love for [glass]. She asked curiously, "This glass painting is telling a story, right?"

In response, Yoonra nodded slightly, indicating that she had guessed correctly.

Amidst Satan Ye's sigh and Vera's "I don't know if I can touch her" expression, the two priests guarding the lounge clearly revealed slightly disdainful smiles.

No, it wasn't that extreme... It was more like seeing an expression of "people from the countryside are really interesting," and it didn't even amount to the disdainful thought of "country bumpkins."

I just find people who lack knowledge quite amusing.

If that were all, then Yinla would have no reason to rebuke him... If the king's dignity had not been violated, it would be ridiculous to speak out to stop him simply because he was offended in his heart.

"Yes, it tells the story of the origin of the Holy Kingdom."

As he spoke, Yinla looked at the beautiful wall made of different colored glass in front of him. Sunlight shone through the glass into the lounge, casting colorful patterns on the floor. He said, "And there's the origin of the [Disbelief] principle."

The two priests outside were clearly surprised by what Yinla said... They had never expected that Yinla, as a non-resident of the theocracy, would know so much about the affairs of the theocracy.

Most people knew nothing about God except that the theocracy did not allow the belief in God... However, they did not think that Yinla's knowledge was particularly profound, and they were prepared to hear what Yinla had to say.

"Simply put, the predecessor of the Holy Kingdom was the [Papal Court of the Gods]. The first pope of the Holy Kingdom was the twelfth pope of the Papal Court of the Gods before the formal establishment of the Holy Kingdom... and the reason that prompted this change was the will of the gods themselves."

Yinla spoke slowly, attracting the attention of Vera and Satanye, who listened like obedient children...

"According to the records, the first pope, Miriam I, was a lay believer, but by a twist of fate, he was identified as the most devout and the most unapproachable person to God... He questioned the majesty and power of God."

As he spoke, Yinla looked at the colorful mural, which depicted an old man looking up at the World Tree. However, the World Tree was covered with a large amount of dark glass. He said, "At the end of the Age of Gods, the gods bestowed revelation for the first time..."

At this point, Yinla seemed to have thought of something. He narrowed his eyes, as if something had been connected to his mind... Wait, so this is about the so-called gods.

Yinla thought for a moment, then slowly said, "God said, 'Do not believe, do not recite, do not worship... From now on, we will no longer believe,' and thus the Protestant nation was born."

Upon hearing this description, Vera suddenly realized something, and Satanie also understood something. Her eyes widened, and she couldn't help but blurt out, "So, that stone slab..."

However, Satan Yeh immediately remembered that there were two priests listening outside, so he decisively shut his mouth.

"Yes, it seems that's true. Perhaps I should have known sooner."

As Yinla said this, the two people outside looked at each other, wondering what kind of riddle the three of them were talking about... However, they really didn't need to know.

Just as religious states would never understand why the gods want humanity not to believe in them.

...

However, Yinla knows more than Satan Ye, more than anyone else in this world... The consciousness trapped inside the World Tree, calling itself "God," the end of the Age of Gods, the silence of the gods.

If we connect all of this... the chaos that the gods tried to trap at the cost of their existence, as mentioned on the stone tablet, is indeed that one? The one who calls himself my cheat code.

However, I have to admit that the "god" really helped me a lot, whether it was teaching me how to get started with "world spell programming" or even giving me code to copy directly... I really owe my current achievements to her.

What conspiracy is hidden behind this?

As Yinla thought this, he watched the task assignments outside come to an end, and the supporters disperse from the church... He knew that he wouldn't get an answer to this question until the other party actually laid their cards on the table.

The key question is... what can the other party get out of it? Do they want me to help them out of this predicament? Or something else?

It couldn't be that they just thought it was fun or entertaining, could it?

...

"Lord Yinla! His Highness the Demon King, His Highness the Pope have extended an invitation..."

Never mind, let's go out first...
