"... what is it? God's shield? What the hell is that supposed to mean, Ars?
"The holy knight who protects Aisha, the god watching people in heaven. That's the shield of God, Pope Paul."
"... oh. Was I not studying? I think I've never heard of it."
"Perhaps. After all, there was a huge case of the collapse of the Holy City, so could it be said that there was no way to do that? Because the Shield of God was newly created."
"... don't you have one consultation with me, the Pope?
"Why not ask God Aisha directly?"
"... when it looks like that, it must mean that the roots are already in place. You'll do it, Ars. What are you going to do?"
"I don't care what they say. Because God Aisha has given us the protection of God directly. I didn't think I could use my own naming and inheritance rituals, Pope Paul."
"... hah. You don't know what to make. How should I explain it to others? All of a sudden, even if they say," God's shield, "they'll all be confused."
"You just have to keep saying it. The work of God's shield is enough to deliver new clothes to God."
I talked to Aisha in the divine world and was given magic again. I was back in Fontana.
To inform Pope Paul that the god Aisha has sealed the Transfer of the Divine Realm, so that a new Transfer Magic Formation can be created to travel with the Divine Realm.
And that explains why I gave Aisha the power directly.
Now that I could do the same with the priests of the church, I also told them that I would now name the guardian of God.
When he heard that, Pope Paul held his head down as if he could endure a headache, and then he looked at us and questioned us.
What, you're angry that you didn't hear that?
But I can't pull it either.
Because now I belong to the church, and I don't want to be forced to do what I was told from above.
This church has a long history.
The starting point is the denominational organization that existed before Dogma Doren, the first king of the Doren royal family, started his country.
The organizational function of the present church was completed by [synthesizing] Aisha, the sister and wife of the first king, with the labyrinth nucleus.
The starting point was a mess, but now it has more influence than any royal family or aristocracy because it combines the functions of stabilizing the area.
The church doesn't make anyone a priest.
Now destroyed, but after raising in the Holy City a child made by the former Pope, who was in the world of God, and named the apostle of God, he swore an oath to the idol and became a priest.
I think it's like a family home where all the blood is connected in a sense.
And there were conditions for others to enter the church and become priests.
Do not use offensive magic.
This is what I heard from Father Paul at the time after I fought Raymond the Fontana family slaughter in the Balkan unrest.
When I decided to land in the Balkan unrest, I asked if I could leave home and become a priest.
It was once said that anyone with aggressive magic could not be a priest.
I feel like I've been explained that it could be connected to some kind of aristocracy.
Then, it will be debated whether this case qualifies as such.
Whether or not the Church would be willing to break down the gate because I have aggressive magic, which is considered dangerous.
This has already been resolved.
I did have an attack magic called [Shotgun].
But Aisha has sealed this.
Therefore, even if I name someone, there will not be more people who use Shotgun .
That's why I can't say I broke the door because I have attack magic.
Then what else would you say?
Maybe he would have told me to belong to the church and work as a priest.
Now that I can use Heal , will I be positioned around the bishop?
Alternatively, you may be told to serve as a member of the church, as you will be given the equivalent of a temporary archbishop.
But that makes it problematic that he is the finance minister of the Kingdom of Fontana.
The Church exists independently of any country or nobility.
It may be strange that the temporary archbishop of the church is the minister of the Kingdom of Fontana.
But I'm a little embarrassed when you say that in the current state.
So he forced himself to stand a step away from the church by naming it the Shield of God.
I can perform the same ritual as the priest of the church, but to impress that it is different from the priest of the church.
To emphasize that it is independent of the Church.
And because they were not in a position to be ordered by the church, they decided to name them God's Shield and so on.
"Hmm. Well, that's fine. Explain to everyone that you are an exceptional being that has been empowered directly from God and has become a protective presence for God. Is that all right?
"Thank you, Pope Paul. From now on, it looks like the Shield of God, Ars Barca, will be my name, so thank you very much."
"... by the way, if you are the shield of God, is there a sword of God?
"I'm here. The sword of God is Dogma Doren, the brother and husband of God Aisha and the first king of the Kingdom of Doren. Be careful, if anything happens to Aisha, the Undead King will come out as God's sword."
"The King of the Immortals is coming out? Isn't that more dangerous?"
Well, that's right. However, it seems that one day you will be able to desecrate yourself as an immortal, so perhaps you will be fine. "
Really? It's amazing that immortals can be restored to their original state, but the First King can use Light of Judgment , right? I'm sure you have no more power as God's sword. I see. You, who have sealed the King of the Immortals, have been recognized by God as the shield of God in his service. Speaking of which, other archbishops, bishops and priests will be able to persuade you. But from now on, please talk to me before you do anything. Very nice, Als. "
"Yes, I apologize for the inconvenience, Pope Paul. Thank you for cleaning up."
Good, good.
What you need is a trusted opponent.
If I had suddenly named myself God's Shield, I might have been worried that I would have gone crazy if I were a normal person.
Until now, Pope Paul, who had been with me, had embraced me with his head down.
Thus, I was recognized by the top pope of the church as the protector of God Aisha, who does not belong directly to the church.
