So... he just agreed? ╭(⊙o⊙)╮
Ron couldn't understand the goddess's intentions, but now that things had come to this, the position of Pope was unavoidable.
If it's still two popes, then what about the water god?
Inside the Water Palace, a woman's silhouette suddenly appeared above the water in one of the palaces.
Ron tried to look over, but the woman was already right in front of him.
Before anyone could even process it, the light and shadow gradually faded away, and finally, Ron saw the face of a true god…
The soul did not feel pain, which must be the effect of the divine magic of the Goddess of Music.
Before seeing the goddess of music, we first saw the water deity...
So beautiful! Her figure is slightly petite, but her beauty is breathtaking...
The water goddess, dressed in light blue, seemed even more lively than the goddess of music, yet she said, "Let this goddess see my Pope. Not bad, not bad, he's not bad looking! Not a disgrace to the goddess!"
"Wow, is this a god?" Ron felt some kind of imagination in his heart crumbling.
Ron had imagined that gods should be otherworldly, but what he saw now was that each goddess was more human than the last.
Ron's unintentional expression still caught the eye of the water god.
"Your Holiness, what are you thinking?"
"No, I wasn't thinking about anything!"
The water god smiled sweetly and came to the side of the music goddess.
At this moment, Ron had a few guesses in his mind. Could it be that the goddess of music and the water god...
It is speculated that the music goddess's repeated pronouncements confirmed some of Ron's ideas.
"The Water Goddess is now under my protection. Her divine kingdom was severely damaged, and her missionary territories on earth are few and far between. I hope that our common Pope can help develop our missionary territories..."
The gist is that the two goddesses are allied, and certain events have caused the water god to be no longer at his peak, so they are hoping that he, as the pope, can do something.
Ron had a better idea of what to do.
The boy smiled and said, "Sure, I will. May I go back now?"
Ron had heard from the goddess of music that the spacetime dimensions of the divine realm and the material world were different, so Ron wanted to go back as soon as possible just in case.
The goddess of music didn't answer at first, but instead called for the female angel to come up.
Divine decree: "The two-winged angel Rita shall go to the material world to assist the Pope..."
Ron listened from the side and finally understood. Assisting sounded better, but wasn't it also a form of supervision? After all, he, the Pope, wasn't a believer of the two goddesses.
After the divine words were spoken, a beam of divine light fell upon the two-winged angel Rita.
The angel wings have temporarily disappeared.
Still dressed in pure white, though without those conspicuous wings, the angel's face remained as holy and perfect as ever...
Before Ron could say anything more, the goddess of music waved her hand, and Ron and Rita the angel flew into the sky involuntarily.
Somewhere in the sky, a thin portal to spacetime appeared. After the two entered, the portal closed.
In the original palace, only the two gods remained, once again reminiscing.
...
As time and space shifted, his soul returned from the divine realm to the material world, and Ron awoke abruptly.
Vivian, Linda, and other members of the singers' team also woke up.
They didn't know exactly what had just happened, but they recognized the divine light of their god.
For the music troupe traveling across the continent, the goddess's radiance was everywhere; before they lost consciousness, this divine light had already surpassed the interior of the church.
Linda, a chosen one of God, suddenly received a divine oracle, while Ron's gaze was fixed on the angel Rita beside him.
Angels... have truly appeared in the material world.
It's a strange scene, but the myths and biographies in ancient times have recorded related events, so it's not unprecedented. The biographies have even mentioned divine beings from the abyss... These biographies probably have some basis.
Following Ron's gaze, everyone present also saw Rita standing in the distance.
Rita walked in step by step, and people's eyes followed her. Only Linda was an exception; she was also surrounded by divine light.
After a while, people couldn't help but whisper, "Beautiful!"
"An elf? But it doesn't seem like one..."
"Such a perfect woman can exist among humans..."
"..."
"How did she get here, inside the lord's manor..."
"..."
The journey was short, but rather long, which is why Ron saw Rita right away. Rita walked up to Ron, silently bowed to him, and then stood to his side.
On Ron's other side was Vivian.
By this time, the members of the Singer's Squad realized she was from the Lord's Mansion, and finally stopped whispering, but their eyes remained fixed on Angel Rita.
...
This is bad. Ron sensed that something was off about the atmosphere. Did this mean that taking Rita out would guarantee a 100% head-turning rate?
In short, it was a bit of a hassle. Suddenly, Ron had an idea. Didn't he need an assistant in his study?
Angel Secretary, no, Angel Assistant...
Haha, that's quite extravagant.
Just in case of any unforeseen circumstances, Ron asked privately via telepathy, "Rita, do you know any mainland languages?"
"meeting!"
The answer was not given through telepathy, but through spoken words, which is how people were able to hear the voice of the angel.
Unlike in the Kingdom of God, Ron also believed that the angels spoke the Kingdom of God's dialect, not the common language of the continent!
The mental communication resulted in verbal communication.
Could it be the goddess's divine magic, or...?
"Rita, do you speak the common language of the continent when you're in the divine realm?"
"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope."
You're overthinking it.
Ron stopped asking telepathically and instead called out "Pope," which shocked everyone present.
The lord of Sandy Territory was actually the pope of a certain true god!
People had a vague suspicion, and Linda, whose divine light had dissipated, stepped forward to confirm it.
Linda bowed and said, "Linda greets Your Holiness the Pope."
"Greetings, Your Holiness..."
"..."
Ron felt numb to the way others bowed deeply to him. Fortunately, bowing to the Pope was generally the behavior of believers in that god, and he really didn't want to issue similar decrees again.
Ron said, "Get up, all of you."
"I, the Pope, hereby command you that my papacy must not be revealed. I will announce it at the appropriate time."
"And there's also your religion's holy maiden standing to the side."
When people looked at Rita again, in an instant, they were convinced that she truly deserved to be called a saint of the religion, and that this was how she should look, bathed in the glory of God.
Because of her status as a saintess, Rita's stunning beauty was actually concealed, and she wouldn't need to do so once she had enough power.
But now, if Rita wants to go out, it's better to wear a face mask.
Linda was a chosen one of the gods, and since she had clearly been under divine magic before, the Musicians' Squad naturally accepted Pope Ron's identity.
However, they were unaware that Ron was also the Pope of the Water God Cult.
A slight smile played on his lips. (*＾＾)\/~~~~~~~~~~◎, being a dual pope doesn't seem so bad. The territory's steady development needs some adjustments.
