Chapter 151 Saint
Now I feel that being a cub still has its advantages. At least there is someone to carry you wherever you go. We were carried by the masked man in the red cloak and put into the black carriage. The interior was dark red, and there was a four-handed badge hanging in the middle.
Raymondsis sat opposite us, with two masked men sitting on our left and right. He stared at us, as if trying to see something from our faces.
Unfortunately, I met two people with facial paralysis, one with smiling facial paralysis and the other with real facial paralysis.
We mermaid twins have never had many expressions since we were young.
Unfortunately, this person is blessed by God, and his gems cannot be affected - unless there is a flaw in his faith, so that God no longer protects him.
#The golden light outside his gem seemed to have dimmed a little.
It was like Sawyers’ voice heard what I was thinking in my head.
#Eh?
#It seems like something gray is trying to attack the golden light.
#His gems aren't as pretty as they used to be.
I:?
I saw his gray hair and dark circles under his eyes, and suddenly it occurred to me—could it be Villar?
Villar had a bigger influence on him than we thought.
But that is the true body of the evil god after all. Even if it has been weakened by the world to the point where it can only appear as the concept of "teacher", it is still the true body of "God".
Especially the eyes, which are the concentration of power and the most difficult to conceal.
Unseen, unknowable, unquestionable.
This is an indescribable existence.
No matter how powerful Lemonsis is, he is only human.
#If the golden light disappears, will his gem be contaminated by us?
I asked Sawyers next to me.
After all, the previous Allah did not have such a firm golden light protection, and was easily bewitched. This shows that not every believer of "God" will be protected.
I guess it has something to do with myself.
#perhaps……?
Sawyers' voice was uncertain and confused, and it suddenly occurred to me that asking him about this would be pointless; after all, I had never encountered this before.
But it's very likely.
Just look at the fact that this time the Chief Judge is obviously more interested in me than in Sawyers, and you should know that the charm buff on me has probably started to take effect.
"What are you looking at?"
Raymondsis suddenly spoke.
I tilted my head, looking at the dark circles under your eyes, but I said, "I'm looking at the mark of the Father on you."
He frowned, "He is not your Father. You have no faith whatsoever. There is no need to pretend to be a devout believer in front of me."
"Iramor will only believe you because he is disloyal to his father... but I won't."
He spoke slowly, as if he would have wanted to kill us if it weren't for the saint he mentioned wanting to see us.
Sawyers: "Who is the Father?"
"God taught us that our great father saved mankind, brought food and wine, and saved everyone from the rampant disease—"
"Then why did the Father come to save mankind?"
He asked.
"Obviously, my father isn't human either."
It seemed like the most normal doubts of a child, but also like the doubts of a little monster.
After all, for Sawyers, who knew from childhood that he was not human, humans were not worth saving in his eyes.
"Will the Father save beings other than humans?"
He asked again.
Lemonsis did not answer his question; he was just a silent escort, not a missionary.
Fortunately, Sawyers didn't really want to know the answers.
He leaned on my shoulder.
"Sangsang, I'm sleepy."
I patted the back of his hand, found a comfortable spot on the carpeted seat, and curled up with Sawyers.
Thanks to my current little body, I can take a nap anywhere.
…
When we woke up, we had already arrived at the next town and night had fallen, but the carriage had no intention of stopping. We were probably near the temple. The buildings in the town outside the window already had various religious decorations related to the temple. Through the window, we could even see passers-by saluting and praying to the speeding carriage.
I am becoming increasingly confused about the composition of this world. Why has the future become like that?
And now I can't figure out how I would die in order to cause Sawyers' personality to change drastically in the future and cut myself into so many pieces.
No, think about something else, like what that saint wants from us.
You can't just purify both of us, right?
But not really, the person next to me is the protagonist.
Right...why is this protagonist such a villain at the beginning???
Does this novel have to wait thousands of years before it officially begins? Right now, it's all just flashbacks from the future, right?!
The current timeline belongs to the tragic memories of the past, so the main theme is tragedy, right?
If you can't die, you will suffer while you are alive.
[…You are somewhat pessimistic.]
So can you see the future plot now?
[…Ahem, I can't see it. Just like you thought, this is just a memory of the past, so I'm just mentioning it briefly, or in fragments.]
[However, this saint did appear before, so you should be careful.]
【This saint can read minds.】
I:? ? ? ? ?
Wait, is he still human???
Can he read minds?
Is this still the same old story of holding my hand and reading my mind?! This setting is a little too familiar.
Doesn't he happen to have some weird collecting fetish?
[…Ahem!]
【It would be rude to say it again.】
When the first rays of morning sun shone, we finally arrived at the territory of the Divine Court. This is an entire city, known as the "Holy City". It is completely autonomous by the Divine Court and is also a place of pilgrimage for all believers.
And the saints are the rulers here - although they claim that this is a place ruled by God, and the saints are only God's agents.
But in all honesty, they have to ask Ansar to buy "goods" to ensure the miracle, which shows how hands-off this "God" is.
Sawyers and I were both a little sleepy, and this place was indeed a blessed place, so it was a bit uncomfortable for us two aliens who were not human, but not to the point of being unbearable. It was like having a cold and feeling a little uncomfortable, but we couldn't tell where the discomfort was exactly.
Sawyers and I were carried again towards the three-story, white house with a red roof in the middle. Raymondsis walked in front, and many passers-by saluted him.
After entering the building, Sawyers and I both felt a sense of suffocation.
In this three-story hall stands a huge five-meter-tall statue, made entirely of gold. Its eyes look down at the people and believers passing by below, and the sunlight filtering through the stained glass windows behind it reflects a fiery halo onto the statue.
It seemed as if He had really arrived here.
[…Xiaoyu, don’t look into my eyes.]
Veraer's voice echoed in my mind.
I turned quickly to look at Sawyers, who seemed to have looked away on instinct.
We both realized that this was a dangerous place for us.
That is a power that can truly devour one's personality.
We were taken to the reception room next door, and Raymondsis sat next to us waiting for the arrival of the saint.
The two masked men had already retreated. Looking at the ubiquitous four-hand symbols and various holy artifacts, and the waves of rejection in my body, I felt that Sawyers had really had a hard time in the past.
He is only three years old and already so wonderful. What will he be like in the future?
"Welcome to the Holy City. I am the Saint here, Yomel."
The door opened and a blond young man who looked to be in his twenties walked in. He was wearing a white robe embroidered with golden religious patterns and looked excessively young.
"Lemonsis, please go out first. I have something I want to talk to them alone."
He looked at Remonsis next to him with a gentle tone, but Remonsis frowned.
"...they are both very dangerous to you."
His tone was full of disapproval.
"Don't worry, they are still children," Yomeier said with a smile, then took his hand and kissed it, "The Father will bless you and me. You are too tight, Raymond."
"And I want to see them this time...because of Father's instructions, so don't worry."
He looked between the two of us, his gaze lingering on me for a few seconds longer.
Hearing him say this, Raymondsis walked out reluctantly, "I won't go too far, you know how to call me."
Yomel nodded.
After Remonsis walked out and closed the door, the young man looked at us.
He took off his glasses and placed them on the table. His light golden eyes looked at us. "Welcome again. I'll get straight to the point—"
"You two are children who should not exist in this world."
He said so.
Then Sawyers and I didn't react at all, and he looked at us in surprise.
"You guys know about this?"
Me: “…I can probably guess.”
I say this because I already knew from the things that I couldn't kill Asu Yue and couldn't leave Asu Yue.
And Sawyers should also know this, otherwise he would not have asked Raymondsis those questions in the carriage.
"I thought I could see your surprised expressions before telling you there's a solution..." He rubbed his face in frustration, "The solution is that you two have to choose one to be my successor."
I:?
Wait, career luck is here?
This time, Sawyers and I must have satisfied Yomel's and my expressions. He continued, "I know you're not human, but you're not simple monsters either. Do you know that 'God' really exists?"
"Of course, this statement from a saint like me might seem a bit outrageous, but for those who have never truly seen God, questioning His existence is normal."
“But He exists.”
He placed his hands on his eyes, "And my eyes are proof. These are the marks left by God's coming."
"That's why I can become a saint."
"But what does this have to do with us?" I asked him.
"We are not human. We even hate humans, and we don't believe in... 'God'. We are heretics. And you actually invited one of us to be your successor?"
I don't understand.
"Wow, I can't tell you're only three years old. You're truly non-human, and your learning ability is far superior to humans."
He clapped his hands.
"You asked Raymond some questions in the carriage, but he didn't answer, right?"
"Then I can answer you."
I:……
Wait, you just held Lemonsis's hand just to see his memories, right? You didn't even try to hide it?!
"Our Father did not come to save mankind. This world originally belongs to the Father, whether human or non-human. He did not come to save, but to bring order."
“All the Father’s actions are to regulate the order of this world.”
"The Father doesn't care about faith. These are things we humans impose on Him... and my faith is not even as strong as Remonsis's. This is why I was able to be sent by God - I care more about order."
The words he said could cause a devout believer to doubt himself, and were words that must never be heard by anyone else.
"In this world, the Divine Court is also part of order. Humans need a belief to stabilize their hearts, so for the sake of order, the Divine Court must exist... Perhaps in the future the Divine Court will be replaced, but not now."
"Similarly, the Alliance represented by Mr. Ansar is also part of order. If the Divine Court represents what is controllable by humans, then the Alliance represents what is controllable by monsters."
His golden eyes looked at us, a bit like being watched by the statue.
"I will die in ten years, so I need an heir. The two of you are too special. If you two are in the same camp, then the order will be disrupted."
"If we let you go... humanity might become extinct. Once order is broken, the world will be destroyed."
I:……
Wait a minute, no matter how much we both hate humans, we can't exterminate them, right?
…
wrong.
I thought of Arinea.
The ocean occupies 80% of the world, so maybe it can be done.
"But what does that have to do with us?"
Sawyers spoke up.
"We don't like this world. We were born into the dirty water of a basement bathtub. Our mother and father don't love us, and our uncle just treats us as commodities. What is there in such a world that is worth protecting?"
He said with a smile.
Yomel was not at all surprised by his words. He looked at Sawyers.
"That's what I'm going to say next."
“You cannot be born, but you must be born—this world exists for you.”
"So when the world is destroyed, you will also disappear."
"If it were just you, it would be fine. But your brother is special. He might have to pay another price, but He didn't tell me..."
I:……
The other price is that my mission will fail, and I will be thrown into the punishment world.
No, who is that "God"? How does he know all this?!
Also, the system is too quiet. Is it because this place is so special that it might be discovered?!
But this statement clearly means that the "God" knows everything, right?!
There's no point in pretending to be dumb now!
