Overgod Ascension

Knock, knock!

Ice-cold chains rub against the bluestone floor, making a crisp sound.

Evan slowly walked into the courtroom cell, handcuffed with special shackles.

“What a young boy! ”

“Psst! ”

“I bet he won't last a day here! ”

“Give him to me! Give it to me!”

……

A black hand full of filth came out of the bars, and many prisoners cried out together.

Even though he was prepared for this situation, Evan could not help but tremble in his heart.

“Hey, kid, what did you do? ”

A prisoner squeezed his eyebrows and asked.

“I did not make a mistake. I am the saint of my gods! ”

Evan rebutted loudly.

“Saints... hey...”

A black priest escorted next door suddenly laughed: "Do you think saints are rare? I'm telling you, the referee has tried no fewer than a dozen samurai, and more priests! The guy in here, maybe just like you. ”

“What?”

What Evan had heard before was a bright side of the church, now suddenly touching the darkness inside the referee, suddenly feeling a certain blow to his heart: "My God...”

“God is great, there is no leisure to look at what is happening in the world...”

One of the priests next to him laughed indifferently: "In fact, some saints and priests, even though the divine grace had not dispersed before they were sent to the frame of fire, were still priests and saints of my Lord, but so what, were they not executed in secret? ”

When he had just finished, he suddenly felt his wrist tight.

It turns out Evan grabbed his wrist at this time, and his eyes were like flames: "Aren't you afraid of God's punishment if you distort the teachings and persecute the other divine benefactors? ”

“Divine punishment? ”

The priest in black laughed: "Since the end of the day, when the former Holy See had taken refuge in the kingdom of God as a whole, we have been abandoned as believers in the mortal world! ”

“So that's what you're thinking! ”

Evan seems to have understood something: “Though the Holy See has left, God has not turned away from us, and now the presence of saints and priests is proof of this, isn't it? ”

“Hush, a true saint of faith. Hopefully, you'll still be as tough as you are now when you're on the fire! ”

The priest in black looked at him mercifully: "How dare you hurt Lord Duwald...”

“Ha ha! Boy, you got balls! ”

There was a laugh in the prison next to him: “It's a pity you didn't have to force yourself to just kill him...”

“I swear I'll do it next time. ”

Evan bit the tooth canal.

“Do you want another time? ”

Reverend Black smiled coldly, pushing Evan into a cell and closing the door.

Boom!

The iron door is closed, the surrounding light is dim, with bad odor and moisture, which is extremely intolerable.

In this environment, if we were to change to ordinary people, we would probably get sick for a few nights, and no one would last six months.

Even though he is a saint and his body has been transformed by divine forces, Evan also feels weakness and suffering at this time.

After all, as a religious tribunal to try saints and priests, how could these people not be prepared?

Evan's cell was specially crafted, and underneath it began a self-inflicted form of suppression of supernatural forces, at the level of his poor samurai, which was no better than an ordinary man at this time.

“Trial? Fire rack? ”

By this time, even though Evan was ready, he had to panic.

“God of salvation, forgive my fear! ”

He began to pray on his knees: "Even if I die from the fire, my soul will also go to the kingdom of my Lord to live forever...”

“Hey, hey! Boy, it's hard to see a saint like you! ”

And at this point, in the next cell, that cool voice kept coming: “I rarely see a rookie like you, just promoted? ”

“You are?”

Evan came to the Iron Gate and tried to visit through the window on the door, unfortunately to no avail.

“Me... was a saint too! ”

The voice sighed: “Since the successful promotion, I have joined the Church. I had a pretty good time. Unfortunately, the incumbent Pope Jay, was so ambitious. I was just a little dissatisfied with his practice of modifying the doctrine. After complaining a few words, he was locked up...”

“It turns out...”

In Evan's heart, since the courtroom is full of bad guys, it's supposed to be a good guy to be locked up in here, right? Not to mention a saint! Though it was...

“Wait... ever? ”

Evan asked incredibly.

“That's right...”

The other voice was bitter: “Ever since I was imprisoned here, I have questioned the Redemption God, and you will see it next time...”

In the case of priests and saints, the shaking of faith is an absolute undermining of the very foundations.

In particular, being deprived of the divine grace of priests and saints basically means that they have renounced their faith.

“Ironic, isn't it? ”

The voice continued: "When they were just captured, the saints and priests were innocent, but when their faith faltered and their clergy was disenfranchised, the referee found them guilty and instead became famous! ”

“Therefore, this place, also known as the ‘tomb of faith', I sincerely wish you to persevere...”

……

“The tomb of faith? ”

Evan understood.

Humanity is good and transformed, especially in despair, where unbelievers can become devout believers, and where devout believers are equally likely to renounce their faith.

Once these priests and saints have done so, the Inquisition will judge them without any concern.

“In that case, uncle, you...”

“I have persisted to this day, but mental control is too difficult, especially in this environment...”

The other party smiled and replied, "Maybe I'll go to the fire stand with you tonight! ”

“Fire rack...”

Speaking of which, Evan doesn't have any confidence.

He was certain that Robin's Saint would come to save himself, and that what he had done was not a big mistake.

But after entering the cell, he knew he was still thinking too naively.

Does it matter to those in charge how big their crimes are?

Look at all these saints and priests, can't they just be executed?

A deep sense of despair overshadowed Evan's heart.

He is now finally realizing why this prison is called the ‘Faith Grave’.

“Dinner! ”

As the outside light grew darker, a raging voice also sounded outside the prison.

The iron door was opened with a small mouthful, and a few grilled gegens and a glass of water were sent in.

“Enjoy your last supper, boy! ”

The prison guard's voice was playing and his footsteps gradually went away.

And Evan looked at the cloudiness, the flooding of suspicious things, and the stench, the darkness, the burning of half of Geigen, the lack of appetite.

“Damn it! ”

A grumpy mood struck his heart, forcing him to grasp Gegen and slam hard into the door.

Pfft!

Grilled Geigen was torn apart, revealing one of the small notes.

“Hmm?”

Evan picked it up and found a small line on it: "Pure faith, I'll come and save you! ”

“Must be Robin Saint! ”

At this moment, Evan shed tears with gratitude and was even more ashamed of what he had shaken.

The trial arrived particularly early.

Almost immediately after dinner time, Evan was brought to a temple by two dressed black priests.

“Judge Gandorf, Captain Robin, and... Pope? ”

When he saw them, Evan's heart suddenly sank.

Anyway, this battle against itself is a little too small.

“See the Pope! ”

He saluted Jay.

“Your name is Evan, the new samurai of my Lord, who wounded many innocent mortals that day and abused the divine power of my Lord? ”

Jay asked in a calm voice, "Is that so? ”

“No! ”

Evan suddenly stood up and straightened his waistplate: "Lord Pope, listen to me! This was all caused by Duwald, who hurt my family..."

“Nevertheless, you should not violate the precepts of the saints and strike at ordinary believers! ”

Pope Jay frowned: “How should he be punished according to the commandments? ”

“He should reveal his body in front of the idols and be beaten to death by a cane! ”

Gandalf answered in a rigid voice.

“Huh?”

Evan raised his head in surprise, and some couldn't believe how simple it would be for him to pass.

“But what Evan Saint Samurai is involved in is more than that! ”

Gandhoff continued: "He is suspected of membership in a religious dissident organization, prepared to subvert the current Holy See! ”

“I didn't...”

See you on the dagger! Evan immediately rebutted it out loud, knowing that he could never admit it, or he would really be strapped to a firecracker and burned to death.

“How do you explain that? ”

Gandorf raised his hand and a small note emerged, which was, of course, the one that had just hidden the dinner in Gegen: “In front of the gods, all lies will be invisible! ”

“This... was given to me by Robin Holy Knight...”

Evan said powerlessly, but found a slight expression of suspicion on the face of Robin Saint, suddenly sinking in his heart, knowing that he had fallen into a trap.

“I see...”

Gandhoff smiled proudly: "Lord Robin Saint, shouldn't you give me an explanation with the Pope? ”

‘Is it all a trap, the real goal is not me, but Robin?! ’

Evan immediately understood everything, but it was too late.
