Chapter 299 – God’s Will #3

Adele, who had not stopped praying for a long time even after all the purple energy had entered Minji, opened her eyes.
As if intoxicated by her power, she looked at Minji, who was trembling all over her body, and suddenly she grabbed my hand.
Then he took her little finger to his teeth and bit it lightly, drawing blood.

Drops of blood slowly rising upwards.
Adele swiped her blood with her index finger and smeared it on Minji’s forehead.

“I, Adaline, baptize the believer Minji Kim in the name of the Holy Spirit. You were baptized with the seal of the Holy Spirit, and became the servant of the Lord forever.”

At those words, Minji’s eyes slowly opened.
Minji started looking at her body, starting with her own hands.
She answered.

“Thank you for the grace of the church, the headmaster and the saintess…”

She, too, seemed bewildered by this extraordinary event.
Adele smiled brightly, as if she mistook that appearance for being thrilled.

“It seems like you are happy to receive Jihyeok’s grace. Bondi has to come down with a baptismal name, but the history of the church is short, so there is no one worthy of being called a saint. So, let Priest Minji Kim choose the name he wants.”

“Is that okay…?”

“The reason why I am giving this authority is because the head teacher and I have high expectations for Priest Minji Kim. Come on, is there a name you want?”

Marcella, swallowing her saliva, hesitated, then opened her mouth.

“Marcella… I want to do it with Marcella.”

“Marcelara… That’s a pretty name. I’ll give you permission.”

“Thank you… Holy Lady…”

“However, since I haven’t built up much sanctity yet, please use the name Kim Min-ji as it is until the head teacher and I tell you that it’s enough.”

Which safe to refuse?
Marcella, who unintentionally became Minji Kim, bent her upper body so that her forehead almost touched the floor.

“I will…”

“Is there anything wrong with your body?”

“Ah, that’s… My body feels… Light… Full of energy…”

“You are a believer who serves the headmaster deep in your heart. He opened his true heart and received grace, so it’s understandable. The power given to Priest Minji Kim is the will of Jihyeok, the head of the church. In other words, it is God’s will. So thank your Lord.”

Minji knelt down in front of me.

“Kyo, I’m so grateful for the teacher’s kindness…!”

“It is Priest Minji Kim’s duty to serve Jihyeok for the rest of his life. From now on, please seek out and judge the wicked who disobey Mr. Jihyeok’s will.”

“All right…! Holy Maiden…!”

“The Heretic Questioner is a priest and carries out his duties, and when loyal deacons join the Order, I will make a separate seat for them. Let’s choose those who are useful to us.”

“I’m sorry…!”

Adele, who was looking down at Minji with a satisfied expression, commanded.

“Now, Priest Minji Kim, do what you have to do.”

It meant moving the sinners from the underground warehouse.
Minji, who stood up from her seat and greeted politely, responded.

“Yes, saintess.”

As she left her house, Adele looked at me and smiled bashfully.

“I am happy that Priest Minji Kim is the first member of our church.”

Confused, I nodded my head.

“Ah, that’s right… But Adele, Priest Minji Kim somehow… I feel like he’s transcended human limits…”

“It is natural. Because she had great faith in Jihyeok.”

“Why is that normal?”

“The Eucharist of Ji-hyeok, who had the power of a god, responded to my divine power, and gave the blessing to Priest Min-ji Kim. If Jihyeok was a criminal, this wouldn’t have happened.”

Ah… It means that Adele’s divine power was properly mixed with my magical power.
As a result, I had an ability like reinforcement, and I would like to say that the magical power of Marcella, who is loyal to me, has been amplified.
Whatever it was, it was incredibly good for me.

“You can’t be too elated. Ji-hyeok has just had an adult body. Still… Uhm… Put simply, you can see it as a demigod.”

If our Adele is like that, then that’s it.
But it seems that he has become a real god.

“Isn’t Adele also supposed to have a Eucharist? It’s to the extent that I’ll give you these blessings myself…”

“It is.”

“It has become a noble being, different from the thousand. I am happy.”

“Me too. It’s getting brighter now. Her sister will be worried, so let her go back to the officetel together.”

It is no exaggeration to say that Adele’s mindset has completely changed as of today.
Would it be right to let him meet Sylvia in this state?

“Are you planning to make Sylvia a follower as well?”

“My older sister is someone I love very much. She can’t be left as a foolish human being. But I’m worried that she fell for Helix’s wiles.”

“Isn’t Helix a mighty evil by itself? We’re still weak, so why don’t we just wait and see? Let’s live as usual and keep an eye on Sylvia from her close quarters.”

“If that is Jihyeok’s will, I will follow.”

Unable to endure Adele’s willing response any longer, I hugged her.

“But I didn’t know that you would be baptized with my own blood.”

“Wasn’t Jihyeok like that? It’s up to you to think. For me, Mr. Jihyeok’s holy blood is both holy water and holy oil.”

“I don’t know why you are so pretty today. We must give the prize to the good saintess. What do you want?”

Then Adele let out a low laugh, then closed her eyes and parted her lips.
A kiss is enough for now.
I’ll do anything. I love you, Adele.

**

“Are you twice as strong?”

“Yeah, that’s how I feel right now…”

Marcella’s stuttering answer.
I asked another question while examining her naked body in Minji.

“Is there anything else special? For example, if I have faith in Adele or Rosario, if something starts to hurt me, if I feel awkward…”

The source of power that entered Marcella is the holy power of Rosario.
Although it was said that he blended well into her magic, he couldn’t help but feel anxious.

Did my worries make you feel better?
Marcella smiled brightly.

“There is no such thing at all… Everything is the same as usual except for the power… It seems that Lady Adaline’s divine power has harmonized very well with the demon king’s magical power…”

If Marcela thinks like I do… There certainly doesn’t seem to be a big problem.

“Looks like we’ve been given a great gift.”

“Yes… If Adaline’s power is received by the demons, the queen, and Yuria-nim…”

“I think it’s natural that you, Sehwa, Yuria, and the doctor can adapt, but monsters are another matter. They only give their allegiance to my magical power, don’t they share it?”

“It is.”

After calming her quivering heart, I put the coat on Marcella.
Afterwards, he smirked at her and praised her.

“There was quite a bit of smoke. I saw it again that he showed his wit even when he said his baptismal name.”

“Go, thank you…”

Marcella lowered her head as if embarrassed.
Twisting her body seemed to be pleased with my favor.
I said as I stroked her hair.

“I wish you well in the future. Fit Adele in everything. Make sure the doctor helps as well… Contact me as soon as there is news about the Pandemonium.”

“Sure… Are you going to see Adaline now?”

“I have a place to stop for a while.”

“All right. Please treasure her Eucharist.”

You are slowly going crazy too. After Adele.
Well, I’m about to be immersed in it, but you must have been terrified.
I don’t know if this is how the earth is ruled by theocracy.
It doesn’t look too bad either.

I responded by stroking Marcella’s hair.

@@

She, like Jihyeok, came to have an adult body.
But what is this rushing drowsiness?
It seemed that he had not yet adapted to the adult body.

Beep Beep-! Rattle.

Returning home after entering the door lock password, Adele stretched his body as he smelled the scent of black cherry air freshener.
After that, I feel a little sleepy.
After wiping away her tears, Adele knocked on Sylvia’s door.

No response even after knocking and waiting.
Adele tilted her head and opened her door.

Rattle.

She sees Sylvia sleeping soundly in front of her eyes.
Adele frowned at her and glared at her.

‘Um…! I hate it…’

Sylvia should become their apostle.
She believes that people who should be loyal to Ji-hyeok and herself more than anyone else spread her word!
If a noble being has returned, it is proper to receive it!
A bit disappointing
Still, I’m not a believer yet, and I’m in a state where I’ve been handed over to Helix, so I should understand.

Carefully closing the door, Adele went over to the sofa and sat down.
She then turned on the TV and started watching the morning news.
Adele listened to the announcer’s accurate and fast pronunciation.
A good thought passed through her mind.
It was a religious broadcast.

On Earth, there are religious broadcasts such as Christian broadcasts and Buddhist broadcasts.
If the size of the church grows a little, one announcer to spread the words of Jihyeok and the gospel… No, I will have to find one five hundred.
Mmmm, it doesn’t seem bad to have all earthlings listen to the Word for two hours every day.
Because it is Ji-hyeok and his mission to give salvation to foolish people.

[Next news. A passerby who looks like a zombie appears in Hannam-dong, Gangnam-gu.]

Adele, who was envisioning a rosy future with Jihyeok, pricked up her ears.
Are you a zombie? What do you mean by that?
Adele, intrigued, closed her eyes and focused on the news.

On the screen, a mosaic-processed man was attacking people.
It walked with slow steps, and when a person came near it, it tried to bite it like a zombie.
However, it all ended in failure.
It seemed that it was because people were wary of him because he was injured in the first place, so his gait was slow, and he was wearing shorts.

[This passer-by is known as Lee Mo, a 42-year-old employee of a construction company partner, and is an ex-convict with several criminal records. Mr. Lee is currently detained at the Gangnam Police Station and is undergoing a drug test. The National Police Agency speculates that the injured Mr. Lee was caught up in a drug-related incident, and is keenly aware of him.]

Adele opened her eyes wide as she listened to the explanation from the announcer’s pretty mouth.
A 42-year-old aunt? An employee of a construction company partner?
Then, isn’t that person the one who received penance the other day!
He even prayed!

‘This person…!’

He felt sorry for being punished, so he whined at Ji-hyeok, but he dared to do drugs or something?
To be merciful to such a man… He himself was a fool.
Waste that shouldn’t be in royalties! I need to discuss with Jihyeok and Minji what to do with those untouchables!
Also, I will make sure to do penance in the future!

Rattle.

“Adele… When did you come?”

Adele, who was shaking with rage, smiled broadly as Sylvia came out of her room and approached her.

“I just came.”

“Okay…? What were you looking at? Your eyes…”

“Are your eyes?”

“No, nothing… Have you eaten?”

Adele rose from her seat and was embraced by Sylvia.
As soon as she wakes up, she tries to take care of herself, and the disappointment from earlier blows away.
My poor sister who is trying to fall for Helix even though she has the qualifications of her apostle…
I want to give you salvation quickly.

First of all, surveillance and observation come first.
Because that’s what God meant.
However, if Sylvia shows signs of danger, she will be imprisoned and reformed even by force.
All this for Sylvia, for justice, and for Jihyeok.
Adele made up her mind.

“I’m hungry. Please make me spaghetti.”
