When Pope Ron asked her a question, the water goddess Rachel warned him first, "You must not tell Sister Louise about my divine descent?"
Having already guessed that the water goddess didn't want to talk about her divine descent, Ron quickly said, "I will obey the divine decree. By the way, great water goddess, what about my danger..." (﹁ ﹁ ) ~→
The water goddess stared at Ron for a while, and seeing that Ron's expression was open and honest, she seemed to be sure that Ron would not reveal the matter of her divine descent.
Ron was being watched so closely that he thought he was really in danger, since even one of his own gods was taking it so seriously.
Being watched by the gods is incredibly stressful, but it also confirms that the water god has indeed recently descended to the material world. It's unknown what the water god's purpose is.
After a long pause, Ron tentatively asked, "Water God...you..."
With a slight change in expression, the Water God immediately guessed Ron's thoughts. Good, the plan was going smoothly; he would definitely make his Pope behave from now on. (?????)
The water god retreated slightly, and a faint divine light emanated from his divine body.
Because the goddess of music had cast a spell on Ron without him noticing, Ron didn't feel any stinging pain in his soul at this moment.
However, despite the Water God's deliberate actions, Ron's soul was still put under pressure, and in Ron's soul's eyes, the Water God seemed to suddenly become sacred.
This, perhaps, is what the water god should be like.
The water god, being of a supernatural nature, has an outward divine aspect, and Ron has indeed calmed down a bit.
The water god's divine voice entered Ron's consciousness.
"Pope, do you know that your territory will soon face a great calamity... Enlightenment of the people, divine arts incorporated into the curriculum... Lost records of time and space... All of these things, when connected, will inevitably bring about great changes to the world in the future, but do you have the power to lead this world-changing transformation?"
Ron silently received all the divine messages from the gods through his consciousness.
Oh, so that's what it is!
He thought it was something serious!
Isn't it obvious? Ron must have his own reasons for daring to do this.
Ron had unknowingly regained his composure.
"Returning to the great goddess of water, I believe in the god of music and the goddess of water."
Ron remained composed, and the Water God didn't seem surprised.
The Pope is starting to look like a Pope; he truly deserves to be the secular representative she has chosen.
Actually, the main reason was that the goddess of music initially identified the water god... incidentally...
Rachel gradually withdrew her divine light, but when she spoke again, it made Ron nervous.
“You know, it’s not just the evil gods that my sister Louise and I can handle… there are also…”
"..."
"..."
As Ron listened to the goddess's detailed account of the potential crisis, his understanding of the world was once again refreshed. He realized that not only were there evil gods, but there were also many vested interests in multiple dimensional worlds.
When change comes, there are those who suffer losses and those who benefit. As the conversation progressed, the Water God, fearing that going too far might be counterproductive, still comforted Ron, telling him not to worry too much.
When will the calamity arrive?
"More than a hundred years later."
"That's nothing."
"Nothing is really anything; a hundred years is but a fleeting moment."
"..."
Come on, what concept of time do god-level beings have? What's the point of talking to themselves about things a hundred years from now?
More than a hundred years later, the situation is completely different.
After much deliberation, Ron adjusted his development plan and quickly calmed himself down.
However, the Water God was clearly dissatisfied with the Pope's current state: "You, how could you do this, Pope? You'll have to face this sooner or later after you become the Master of the Demon Sword..."
"That will have to wait until I become a master swordsman and have enough lifespan to live to that day!"
"Moreover, the great goddess of music has witnessed my actions, and since there was no divine oracle to stop me, I, the Pope, believe that this is nothing more than a trivial matter for the two deities!"
"You, Pope... how can you be so deceitful to God?" ( \\u0027-\\u0027 )ノ)`-\\u0027 )
"..."
Well, in the end, the water god's mortal side was revealed; a newly born deity!
Unlike the goddess of music who has existed for thousands or tens of thousands of years.
Next, Ron had a long and detailed conversation with the Water God.
Ron suddenly said, "Goddess, is there something you want me to do? Speak freely, there's no need to talk about future crises. I'll listen to you."
Anyway, Ron thought that no matter what, the water god would still help in the future, because the key to a god of faith is his followers, and Ron could bring followers, so there was no need to blindly follow the water god for now.
However, it's necessary to maintain good relations.
Seeing that he couldn't frighten Ron, the water god could only lament how he had chosen such an impious fellow as pope.
It's unfortunate that she met the right person, but she still has some faith in Louise's judgment...
The Water God revealed his purpose: "I may be descending to the material world for an extended period of time in the near future. Pope, please make proper arrangements for me and be careful not to cause any alarm or disturb Sister Louise."
"During our previous conversation, the Water God seemed to be urging the Pope to prioritize the greater good, but why did you do that, Water God?"
It was clearly a reminder to the water god that he shouldn't have done this; it would have been better to save his divine power to create a saintly avatar in the future. How could he...?
There are reasons why miracles have ceased to occur on a large scale over the past thousand years.
Ron roughly guessed that the current divine descent was a heavy burden on the gods, or there might be other reasons.
"The will of God has been made, Your Holiness."
"Oh well!"
"That's alright, please trouble the goddess to send the Pope back!"
"Can."
A divine light enveloped him, and Ron's soul returned to the material world along with the light. The water goddess Rachel thought to herself, "If only this had been done earlier, I wouldn't be able to treat him as a fanatical believer when I'm with my Pope in the future."
Even Pope Ron wouldn't dare offend this goddess.
"Think about it, where should we go for some fun? This temple is so boring, and the human realm is boring too, but lately..."
A slight smile appeared on his face, and along with it, another temple space within the dimension gradually disappeared…
The next morning, inside the lord's manor.
Ron woke up feeling refreshed.
After all, he was still the Pope. With the divine aura intentionally nourishing him, Ron felt his soul become slightly stronger and he was able to control more magical power.
Even so, it is not possible to see the two deities frequently.
I opened my eyes on the first day of the lunar new year.
The first thing you see is Rita standing to the side. It turns out that, due to the slight emanation of divine light, Rita has revealed two angel wings.
And you know what? Even when Rita's true form is seen in the material world, her divine countenance remains so powerful.
"Your Holiness, you are awake."
