Chapter 301 - Episode One - The Pope of a Certain Water Country (1) (Side: Sateria)

-On the top floor of the Grand Palace in the holy city of Rivualin in the Country of Water, the Riveras Kingdom.

“The time is coming. The long history is about to come to an end. The time for the final battle is near. The Great Evil G.o.d, Kudor, will not be pleased with my resurrection and will surely challenge me to a battle.”

A large blue crystal ball was displayed on the throne in the Grand Palace.

The solemn words of G.o.d were emitted from that crystal ball.

This crystal ball was used by Levi to convey his words to his subordinates, the four great priests.

Levi was in the depths of the Grand Palace and rarely came out.

This is why the High Priests usually use this blue crystal ball to contact Levi.

“I can’t go head-to-head with Kudor. The purpose of Kudor is to protect the Dinrat Kingdom …… so before Kudor wakes up from his slumber, I needed to be ready to unleash an attack on the Dinrat Kingdom and use it as a bargaining chip in my war against Kudor. But you have failed …… Even though I gave up my eye and shared my magic, you couldn’t even drop one of the border f.a.ge territories, which was unsuspecting at the time…”

The woman kneeling in front of the crystal ball with her head bowed down was Pope Sateria, the first of the four great priests of the water G.o.d, a woman with beautiful, translucent blue hair.

“I have nothing but disappointment for Marias and Nelgliffe. Sateria, do not act as if you are in the same position as them.”

“Levi-sama …… I am deeply aware of that. But, but …… could you not once again look inward instead of outward?”

“What?”

“In the first place …… In the absence of Levi-sama, the Levi church has been corrupted, branched out, tricked and distorted by the devil …… repeatedly. The major factions alone number over twenty within the Riveras Kingdom, and there are conflicts within them as well. There is no end to the number of details that can be counted. We, the Four Great Priests, have been correcting such erroneous schools under the guidance of Levi-sama …… However, there are still many people who have animosity towards us.”

The faction of Sateria and the others who take the resurrected Levi as their G.o.d is known as the New Levi Faction in the Riveras Kingdom.

It is said that they were expected by the resurrected G.o.d, and their antipathy and resentment towards the four great priests who denied the existing sects, exterminated them, and forcibly brought them together is deep-rooted even within the Riveras Kingdom.

In fact, the country was in such a state of disarray that there was no time to be messing around with the Dinrat Kingdom.

The missionary who visited Palgas Village, Ringus, told us that it was the Four High Priests who brought peace to the Riveras Kingdom, which had been in constant strife, but this was just a way to make a good impression on the new Levites, and the reality was different.

The reality was different. Some parts of the country were becoming increasingly violent, and others had unexploded bombs that could explode at any moment.

“The fact that Nelgliffe-dono, who was known as a man of character in the country, was captured by the Dinrat Kingdom is painful …… There is a fear that the opposition to us will increase in the future. Even if we are able to defeat our enemy Kudor, it will be meaningless if this country is lost. Can’t you forget about Kudor once and for all? This country cannot afford to launch an attack against the Dinrat Kingdom. If we don’t, tens of thousands of innocent lives will be scattered senselessly in a civil war.”

Sateria’s jade eyes filled with tears as she pleaded with Levi.

“Will not. Even though you all already have me, and you fools who are seduced by the devil, your mind is already stagnant and corrupt. The filth are already sinful and unworthy of redemption. All I ask of you, the Four Great Priests, is to eliminate such fools once and for all, and prevent the spread of filth who sell their souls to devil wors.h.i.+p.”

“…………”

“It is the consensus of the world, not just mine, that Kudor must be destroyed. The great evil G.o.d once killed the four great creator G.o.ds, including myself. Because of that, the world lost its order. An abnormal era in which humans ruled over humans arrived, and the spirits lost their s.h.i.+ne. Since then, the world has been in turmoil. Destroying Kudor is a top priority. Isn’t it obvious? However, you’ve become quite a big deal, Sateria. For you to talk back against your G.o.d ……”

“I-, I’m just, um, just……”

“Hmm, well, it doesn’t matter. Also …… Sateria, call one of the four great priests, Penrath.”

“Pe-Pe-Pe-, Penrath-dono!?”

Sateria’s face paled.

In comparison to Nelgliffe, who was a high priest with a somewhat difficult personality, but was able to behave like a person of character, Penrath was a real sc.u.m.

Even Sateria, who doesn’t like to speak ill of others and tries to find the beauty in everyone, can’t help but keep balking when asked to talk about Penrath’s personality.

Of the four great priests, Penrath was the one with the most magical qualities and power, but unfortunately, his humanity was too lacking to be presented to the public as a symbol, so Levi had no idea about making Penrath the Pope.

“Yeah, he was a last resort, but we had no choice. I’ll have an idiot go against an idiot. No more tricks, we’re short on time. I’ll have Penrath attack the f.a.ge territory and retrieve the Sky G.o.d’s legacy. It will give us a foothold to get the spear back and a big card to play against the Count and Kudor.”

“Ah …… Yes …… if you insist, Levi-sama, I will call Penrath over here.”

“Alright. I didn’t want to face him too much, but it can’t be helped. He’s twisted, but he has faith in me.”

“Then I will leave the room ……”

Sateria raises her head and stands, bowed her head greatly and gave a bow, and then left the Grand Palace of the Water G.o.d.

When there are no more people, a murmur leaks from the blue crystal.

“Fufufufu …… If Penrath moves, a war between the Riveras Kingdom and the Dinrat Kingdom is inevitable. But now I can finally pay my debt to that Abel. It doesn’t matter how many Riveras pigs die in the war, as long as we can kill the fools who took advantage of us and get back the spear. In any case, as long as Sateria is in this holy land, this is the only place that will be protected no matter what happens. After that, I will use my …… spear to kill Kudor and …… that count who thinks he is getting around well against me. And finally, the world will be mine.”
