484 Vol7 Ch22: The Apostles and the Salvation Church
“Xu Yao, how come we haven’t reached the Duke’s manor yet? When can I see Nala?” among several people who had changed into the Flame world’s adventurer’s clothing, a blond man impatiently asked.
In the past, whenever the Supreme God world consumed a new world, it would first anchor down that world’s projection and siphon its information, recording them onto a catalyst in the Supreme God world.
Combined with how a projected world’s information can be easily derived from and continuously repeated, these so-called Apostles mostly treat the people of these worlds as characters in a plot.
Of course, the exceptional individuals between them wouldn’t be so shallow. They’ve learnt part of the truth from the Supreme God world and had their own comprehension regarding the myriad worlds.
Before their trip to the Flame world this time around, due to the connective bridge, the Supreme God world had also obtained a portion of the Flame world’s information and built a simulation of the world’s past, then rapidly speed up time within the simulations and sent the Apostles in to clear it like a normal mission.
One of the most popular forms of entertainment within the Supreme God world was the transcription of these worlds’ information into anime.
This group of vanguards were all Apostles who had completed this plot, quite a few of which had even managed to bring the plot character Nala, and even Isabella out with them. Most of the time, as long as they were female and had some level of beauty, they would be brought back to the Infinite Room as a homunculus.
Some of these people have thousands of blow-up dolls in their personal space that were almost indistinguishable from the real article, as well as a small number of actual people from those worlds, all of whom were a part of their benefit for conquering the realms.
Now that they had a chance to enter the true Flame world, some of them would naturally not give up on this chance to expand their harem, everyone wanted to take this chance to undo Nala’s petrification. Not only would they gain a powerful ally in combat, but also a beautiful companion.
If Isabella wasn’t already dead in this real world, they would not hesitate to take in both the mother and daughter, thus enjoying some mother-daughter play.
“Don’t act like there’s nothing but white liquid in that mind of yours through the entire day” a female in the group scoffed at her male companion despite all of them understanding perfectly well how male Apostles usually were.
This was Bai Zi Xi, a magic-based Apostle whose Reinforcement Ability was [Magical World]. Although her personal space also contained thousands of differently handsome men, she still had to scoff at these stinky men whose heads are full of nothing but degeneracy.
“This world is different from what we’ve faced in the past. The mastermind behind it had even caused a disaster in the Supreme God world, so we shouldn’t let our guard down. Furthermore, due to the other party’s interference, our plot variation value would be much higher than normal, it will be very difficult to resurrect if we die here”
Xu Yao smiled wryly while informing them with a stern expression, then instinctively touched his nose as a cold gleam reflected from the back of his gaze.
“I know, the newly-formed Pugilist power system, according to the Supreme God’s estimation, hasn’t the peak of their power only reached two times Divinity Extraction? All we need to do is be wary of the mastermind then” the blond man’s given name was Blondie.
In truth, the majority of these Apostles were actually using fake names, for example, Bai Zi Xi, who Blondie was willing to bet wasn’t actually called that before.
“On the other hand, those Pugilist women though, if they’ve been training themselves for a long time, their bodies should be able to hold up quite well” Blondie changed the subject back to women once again. It was as if the only two things in this guy’s mind were girls and women.
“Ying, how’d the scouting go?” Xu Yao swiftly turned his attention to a long-haired young girl about 16 years old who currently had her eyes closed.
She was holding a pink oiled paper umbrella with calligraphy written on it while several blue bursts of flames that were almost invisible to the naked eye floated around her.
Hearing Xu Yao, Ying opened her blue-and-red heterochromia eyes and answered: “My Shikigamis have scouted the outskirts of a farm. I believe we should reach our destination soon enough”
“Then let’s pull your Shikigami back for now. We still don’t know the extent of the Salvation Church, so there’s no need to cause unnecessary strife for now” Xu Yao nodded to affirm her, then gave his orders.
The so-called Salvation Church are devout worshippers of the Saintess. They were mostly from aristocratic families during the Age of Flames whose authority and power had changed following the end of that era but was unwilling to let go of their glorious past during the Age of Metal. Some of them had managed to find the broken Sacred Valley as well as the Kiln of the First Flame inside, and more importantly, they found Nala who had turned into a statue.
And so, using the Saintess as a banner, they rallied large groups of individuals who were unhappy with the status quo as well as fanatical worshippers of Nala and established the Salvation Church.
They proclaim themselves to be servants of the Saintess Nala whose duties were to triumph against any and all obstacles for the sake of the Saintess in order to spread her glory, targeting the majority of people.
While the New Royas Kingdom worshipped the Saintess, their shrines and cathedrals only ever worship the Fake Emperor Eldridge who swindled his way into the new era. Such a country would naturally need to be destroyed, and since the other countries don’t even worship the Saintess, they must be destroyed as well.
The world belongs to the Saintess, as Her Highness Nala was originally the princess, she should have been the king of this world.
She had turned herself into a statue for the sake of the world’s salvation, but as her servants, we should watch over and govern the world for her.
What about Her Highness Nala’s descendants?
While the Holy Mother Isabella had brought the Saintess into this world, she had also willingly wallowed herself in degeneration and remarried a sinner. The descendants of such people are not worthy of calling themselves descendants of Her Highness.
If Her Highness doesn’t wake for 100 years, then they shall help Her Highness govern the world for 100 years. If Her Highness doesn’t wake for 10,000 years, then their descendants will govern the world in her stead for 10,000 years.
If Her Highness wakes up? What nonsense are you spouting? Her Highness Nala had burned herself completely in order to save this world, so how could she possibly awaken?
You must be questioning Her Highness Nala’s determination to lay down her life for the world, a despicable and vile person, so we’re going to capture and burn you alive. In that case, the Nala who wakes up must also be fake that must be captured and burned alive as well.
In short, the Salvation Church was such an organization, but it can’t be denied that this flag of greatness had managed to rally plenty of people under it. Most of these people used to be aristocrats from the Age of Flame, so they naturally held a lot of secret knowledge, all of which had exerted themselves to help the organization grow increasingly stronger.
What these Apostles were after was to first awaken Nala in any manner they could, then borrow Nala’s name to kill those people with evil intentions and perform a hostile takeover of this organization. If not for this, it would have been impossible for the few of them to triumph against the King of Evil Spirits and undo the connection between this world with the Evil Spirits currently invading the Supreme God world.
Of course, they also needed to be wary of the mastermind, but the main body of the mastermind had already been stalled by the Supreme God world itself, so the one that remained here should only be a clone that couldn’t use its full power.
Several of the most renowned experts of the Infinite Room who had gone through numerous Mission Realms, as well as winning against countless BOSS were gathered here. More experts would soon follow them as well, and they were already used to conquering worlds in this manner, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Xu Yao put a hand on his chest as a thought flashed through his mind.
After completing this mission, I would finally be able to retire from the Infinite Room.
