Point at the tip of the holy sword held in both hands.

The tip only shakes for a moment.

A slight force was exerted from left to right, making it look like it stopped moving.

Then, the immortal, also known as the apostle of God, took evasive action, jumping to the left rearward as if he had reacted violently.

I stepped on my foot to chase it and approached it for a short time.

Shake your sword again.

But it's also feint.

The immortals, who saw my upper arm put strength into it, tried to avoid it again.

But it's bad luck to jump again after a big backstep.

The movement is easy to read, and they know where they're going.

Therefore, having previewed the movement, I shook the Holy Sword vertically so that it could be placed at the point of movement by evasive action.

The blow will cut the immortal's body in half.

If that were the case, you wouldn't be able to move.

The apostle of the former God lay down on the ground in a restful sleep while his body twitched.

How many immortals have we defeated?

At first, I was alert to immortals with high physical abilities, but they never hunted us down as strong enemies.

After all, he was originally a man of the church, so he had no combat experience.

My physical abilities are high, so I can see and react to my movements, but that's all.

I get caught in the feint as funny as that.

Therefore, it was also possible for me to direct the movement of the opponent, and no matter how called the apostle of the former God, it was not a great opponent.

Tanatos and Ian, the Atmos warriors who were used to fighting like me, were also fighting immortals.

This one's turning into a giant, swinging his stick and blowing it away.

Instead of dealing with small tricks like mine, they are collectively chasing away the immortals who swarm in a prominent body called giants.

Moreover, it seems that the magic weapon is also being used as a shield.

They evaded and attacked us in an amusing way.

There are immortals dancing in the air like bonus stages.

"There are more than I thought. But I think I can handle it, Archbishop Paul."

"That's good. But it doesn't feel so good to have someone with a known face crushed like this as immortal."

"Huh? Do you know the Apostle of God, Archbishop Paul?

"Of course. We church officials are the children of the Apostle of God."

"... eh, is that so? Does that mean Archbishop Paul was born in this world of gods? So, are your parents here?

"Perhaps, but the child will soon be laid down and raised in the Holy City. So I don't know my parents."

"... don't you want to find it? My parents and my brothers."

"That's right. Sometimes I thought so. Perhaps that's why I went to the center without finishing my life in Fontana. But now you can't say that."

There are a lot of churches.

I've never really cared, but it seems that not everyone could be a priest in the church.

Children born in this world of God, where the former Pope, called apostles of God, lives, are raised in the Holy City and educated as priests.

And those who have finished their education will be sent as priests and sisters everywhere.

They run churches and name them everywhere, and if the power reaches the archbishop who can use Purification , they will be returned to the center.

And from there, they can cross the Cardinal to the Pope and finally return to their original birthplace, the Divine Realm.

Something made me think it was a fish.

Once juvenile fish are born in the river, they grow from the mouth of the river to the sea and grow in the great plains.

Then, when they become adult fish that give birth to children, they return to the river where they were born to lay their eggs, and once again the children scatter into the wider world.

For church officials, the mouth of the river where I was born was the sacred capital, and I wondered if the upstream was the divine world.

"But I've been wondering for a long time, can I ask you something?

"Surprisingly, you can afford to defeat the Immortals, Ars. What is it?

"This is how the apostles of God and the priests who were in the Holy City die, but do the ordinary people who were connected by their names lose their magic? Well, the Sacred Cities would have Naja [collecting] that power."

"Oh, I see. Is that so? Then there is no problem. We swear to God before we are sent anywhere as priests. And when he dies, he returns his magical connection to God."

Hear the story of Archbishop Paul in one hand, cutting down the immortals who are still coming out with the Holy Sword.

In the story, I gradually learned about the structure of the church.

The church is located in each noble domain, where all the inhabitants are baptized and named at a certain age.

It is a system that gives life magic to residents with its namesake ritual, while sucking up magic from it.

But if you think about it, this system is useless.

Because if the priest dies suddenly, there is a problem.

If the priest dies suddenly, the magic connection is broken and all the inhabitants of the area are unable to use the magic of life.

I don't want to baptize all the inhabitants again every time a successor comes to the church.

And that hassle doesn't actually happen.

Because if a priest dies, no magic will be lost by the inhabitants.

What this means is that those who were raised as priests in the Holy City only come to the divine world once before being sent to various places.

And I swear to God in that world of God.

Give your whole life for the Church.

Along with that vow, the priest said he would be able to use his namesake magic team.

And when he dies, his magic pass is returned to God.

In other words, if Archbishop Paul is dead, I will be able to use my life magic and healing magic as before, and my magic will be sent to God.

So even if the messengers of God died here, it wouldn't have had such a big impact on the average person.

Hmm. Does that mean there really is a God in this place? I mean, isn't that bad? Would that God be filthy to the immortals, or would Naja [collect] it?

"That's why we're here. We must stop at all costs to protect God.... okay, looks like you've defeated your insane immortal. Ars, can you see the building over there? I'm going over there."

"Ah, is there a god there?

"Exactly. We have to get God out first."

We're still fighting Tanatos and Ian's remaining Immortals, but we're still getting closer.

Then Archbishop Paul pointed to the building in the middle of the divine world, above the mountainous place.

Apparently there's a God there.

They say we need to help the god first.

Thus I went to the building to worship the face of God.
