From Mightiest Hero to Demon King (WN)

At the heart of the cathedral is a large chapel. It had a blow-out structure of about four floors, with stained glass laying on the top.

Pope Saladio stands alone, only inside.

The colorful stained glass sucked in the sunlight, creating fantastic shades. The pattern represents the history of "people", which has been accompanied by continuous cotton.

That will remain the same in the future.

(Yes, even if I decay, it doesn't make a difference...)

It's been three days since my granddaughter Tiaris took Kera to the deepest of the underground ruins.

If Gallius was indeed there and Tiaris defeated him, let's just say it would be an unparalleled achievement.

But if it had not been for three days, it was clear that it could not be expected.

Even if Gallius was there, even if he wasn't.

Defeat them as they were, even if they were in return.

Saladio's interest is not there.

(Reproduction of gift systems. If a man exchanges God's works, the world will change)

The experiment of delegating demonic and demonic traits to people is halfway down the road, as well as the beneficent Gifts that individuals possess.

So far we have not been able to do it against the living.

Although the experiment in Tiaris involving the 'secret of the antisoul' that revives the dead was successful, this secret itself was not so easy to do. Rather, it can be said that the status quo, impossible, in which special items have been lost.

but the path of transfer to the living has not been cut off.

Researchers kept their mouths shut, especially that experiments to transfer demonic properties to people would be possible sooner or later.

People gain the power of the Demon Nation.

If it can be done easily, people will line up with the Demons even without a grace "gift". Humanity, overwhelmed by numbers, will sooner or later be able to expel the Demons themselves.

They become exactly the kind of beings that are kept to feed people.

This is a desecration of God.

Many believers will be packed that way.

But as I told Kella, Saladio didn't care at all.

(If you are a true apostle of God, there is no problem in reaching out to God's cause)

Instead, if I am in a position to spread God's teachings and guide the faithful, then I believe and do not doubt that this is the path shown by God.

If you take the time to explain, the faithful must also show understanding.

Either way, research is still underway.

Probably a long way to go for the next generation. We have plenty of time.

On the contrary, if research can continue, one day it will be an area to reach.

Therefore, it was natural to be out of interest such as the life and death of Gallius today.

The life expectancy of a brave man is also that of a man. Because it dies while the research continues.

"Pope! It's important!

Delayed by the idea, two female holy knights entered the chapel in a hasty manner.

"What is it?

The two kneel side by side, one reports.

"From the basement of the cathedral, there has been an abundance of demons. The man with the black armor seems to be directing them."

"Hmm? Different colors, but probably Gallius in holy armor"

Has Tiaris failed after all?

And when they attack the ruins, they can distribute demons.

Saladio laughs lightly, however, without showing a single shard of upset.

"Can you tell me more about the situation?

"The large group of demons are predominantly aliens with metallic bodies with four arms. We also check for other slimes and skeletons. At present, thanks to the narrow passage, our Holy Knight is pressing, but at any rate, it is only a matter of time before we are numbered and broken through... I am sorry"

The Virgin Knight bites her back teeth with a sad face.

(I see. Have you really come to drop this holy capital because you used the monster of the ruins)

The numbers are unknown, but if you are able to follow the guardian beasts of the resurrected ruins sooner or later, this one will not hold for long if you gather the elite.

"You have no choice. I give up the Holy Capital."

"What?"

"No, but..."

"Soldiers should give priority to evacuating the inhabitants. Let's keep the demons under siege."

"" Pope!

Saladio hands control the two people who stood up in solidarity.

"What, it's temporary. We do not have the skill to respond to surprise attacks from the heart of the Holy City. But with them, it's impossible to protect them forever in isolation from the enemy. Sooner or later, let's reclaim the Holy City. Ask for help, not just from the Patriarchate, but from all countries, with a large army."

The two push silence.

I don't seem convinced from the tears in my eyes, but now I seem to have accepted that as the best.

"You must convey your instructions to everyone immediately."

Put your hand on one shoulder and tell him. She nodded as she pulled her lips together and ran out of the chapel.

"Give this to you."

Saladio took the folded paper out of his nostalgia.

A letter.

The Sacred Capital has the same facilities as the research facility that revived Tiaris. The facade was just a soldier's jar, but the basement had become a larger research facility than the one in the cathedral.

As a matter of fact, he was assuming something like this.

I received that Kera said there was Gallius in the underground ruins, and that it might flow straight into the Holy Capital, as it were.

The letter states that the research facility was destroyed and instructed to flee to several other countries with researchers and materials.

Saladio thought it would be nice if research could continue somewhere in countries that endorsed the significance and purpose of research.

Saladio went to the corner of the chapel and hit this one and the floor with his heels.

Gogo, and a corner of the floor slides sideways, and a staircase appears that leads down.

"If we get out of here, we can get out of the cathedral. Make sure you get that letter. of humanity, for the future."

Tell them where the research facility is and pull the remaining female Saint Knight's hand.

"Pope... what are you going to do...?

"I have no power to fight. But let's be the basis for the future. Come on, come on."

The Virgin Knight wiped her tears, offering a deep salute before rushing down the stairs.

Saladio immediately restored the floor and took to the centre of the chapel.

How long has it been?

Far away, I couldn't hear the yells and screams at all.

After a while, I heard the trick and walking on the floor. There were more than one other thing that brought Gachanga Chan and the sounds of metal ringing with him -.

"Long time no see. Saladio Giuselli"

A man with pitch-black armor and a black helm at his side. Are the demons letting them wait outside, or just one person advances in front of the saladio.

"Yeah, when we only met once, you were still the boy, Gallius the Brave"

He laughs thinly. But something called emotion seemed rare.

"The first floor of the cathedral was subdued. The resistance seems to have weakened from the way in, but maybe you gave the order to abandon the cathedral?

"Yeah, you're right. So, did you come here to kill me? Then go ahead. If it's such an old body, add it to one of the handles."

"You're an irresponsible man, just like your granddaughter. If you're dead and you think it's over, those who believe in you and follow you will not be floated."

"I accept death in my sphere of responsibility. What people inherit that will and spin history. And my will shall be succeeded by many believers."

"It doesn't make sense to ask questions with you about this hand. If you want me to kill you, I don't have anything to do with it. but before I do, I want to ask you something."

Gallius turns off his grin and asks.

"Tiaris was unusually more combative than before. Just resurrected from death. Oh, I guess not. What 'd you do?

Saladio strives and calmly, rebutting the words of Gallius.

I don't seem so obsessed with Tiaris' resurrection from death. His interest lies, as the question asks, in his granddaughter's unusually increased power.

Spirit-broken Tiaris aside, it wasn't strange to be getting information from Kella.

On the way from the site to the site, there is a research facility to recreate the gift system.

I don't think the man with the aim came through there barely.

What is your intention to ask a question while you have already received a close answer to certainty?

(Making me speak directly, I guess)

Gallius has previously documented a scene in which Tiaris was lost in faith and there is a strange magic that mirrors it everywhere.

I will also record the conversation here and will be wandering around the world later.

The reproduction of the gift system is a study in which many believers resist as' against doctrine '.

I can easily imagine rebelling, especially against 'delegating power from the Demons'.

Even without the magic of recording footage, he may be making the captured believers listen close by.

This position will be in jeopardy if we are badly hustled.

So what we should do here...

"Ha? What do you mean?

If at least they knew they were not involved, the faithful would not believe the words of Gallius or anything else.

Plus if they kill themselves here, the faithful should burn in anger and cut and dump all his words as false.

"Dude, do you fall in love over this period? I'm telling you, on my way here, I've already got a solution, haven't I?

Was the research facility still exposed?

but still, if I cut myself through white, I can also make excuses for some fanatic rampage. In fact, the Pope's thoughts were well conveyed to researchers who missed each country, just in case.

"Tiaris must mean my granddaughter, but she was killed by you a long time ago. What's going to happen when you steam back the story now?

"... I see. He's pretty alert. If so, can't you ask me anything?"

Too bad, Gallius sighed at this.

"You're no longer used to it."

Then pull out the holy sword placed on your hips.

Saladio put his hands together and closed his eyes quietly.

Now the valiant man of the Pope's killing is totally unacceptable to man's society, no matter what is to come.

(Yeah, my role is over)

And in a few more decades, people will be able to put the demon under complete control.

Assuming Gallius didn't (I don't think) kill him with warmth, he was prepared to die for himself.

Saladio, who chuckled inside,

Bachin!

"Huh!?"

Lightning was shed on my body, and only that consciousness was pruned...

Stunned (...) Receiving the Pope, Gallius quietly unloads to the floor.

"Aren't you going to kill me?

I heard a voice echoing directly into my head. It's Elzanad, Spirit Modki of Holy Martial Arts.

"Because the faithful cannot listen to the words of the Pope's murder. If I hadn't killed him, I would have chosen to die myself, so I let him sleep first."

Just now, the Pope is not so different from his granddaughter.

No, Tiaris, who was only blind faith in God, could still be said to be better.

"So now we're going to start a play starring you against the faithful."

"I don't know why you seem happy... well, you do. It's not going to be ready, it's going to be just a hit."

Still, in just a few hours, he spun his thoughts fully, and Gallius conceived a total -.
