Chapter 672 – [White Church]

I heard from Xeon before that he changed the system so that you can raise your status and skill level by investing fantasy power.

The fantasy power that goes into it is only Xeon’s own fantasy power.

However, Zeon, who has now become a follower of the White Goddess… Like other priests and priests, is supplied with imagination from the gods. And that too in huge amounts.

What would happen if you invested all your imagination that never runs out no matter how much you use it in your status and skills?

It’s a game system, so to put an example there, it’s a cheat in the end. It was like filming Show Me the Money alone and playing games.

“No. Apparently, it hasn’t been that long since I’ve become stronger like that. Do you think setting up your self-fantasy around the same time would fit in like a coincidence?”

“……Did they lead you there?”

“If you’ve been brainwashed from the start, you’d better think so.”

“There are more reasons to kill that white bitch.”

It is upsetting that God enforces human free will. Even after ruining one person in that way, in the end, it is the people of God who say that humans cannot understand God while doing the great thing.

No, to be honest. If man cannot understand God, why should he believe in him?

What’s the point of serving an incomprehensible god? I don’t know if I’m crazy and believe in Cthulhu.

Ah, because he’s a fanatic, he’s already crazy. Sorry, I didn’t think of that far.

“But what are you thinking about attacking the academy? Certainly, if you get the academy, you’ll have a huge advantage in conquering the continent or something, but it’s true that Ruri isn’t an asshole and won’t get caught.”

“No matter how strong a person is, there are times when they can’t move.”

“……Ah, I just had a bad idea.”

It’s obvious what these guys will do.

Even those with higher ranks than me had no choice but to press down with force if they wanted to kill me, but outside of combat, there was only one way to defeat me.

It is a hostage.

If you take Shion hostage, I’m sure I’ll try to save you by pulling out my heart. And you won’t be able to move easily.

If Shion is taken hostage and dies, I will do everything in my power to make that bastard suffer forever, even if I have to throw everything away, but at least if he is alive, I cannot act rashly.

And at the academy, there were plenty of students who could become hostages to Ruri.

He loves them so much that Ruri memorizes the profiles of all the students at this academy. In the first place, it was impossible for a dragon to spend thousands of years teaching students without affection.

It is said that Ruri is the strongest in the Continental Ten, but can Ruri move easily while the students are held hostage?

“But how? In the end, holding the students hostage would only be possible with a large number of troops… How? In the event of an emergency, all you have to do is to splash into the sea, so why not conduct a siege at sea?”

However, if there is one challenge, it is that the academy is a natural fortress.

There is no way to connect to the outside other than the bridge that connects the academy when it is docked on land, and it can be operated from this side.

Above all, if you make a mistake, just leave the territorial waters of the White Church and bounce. Even if you bring a ship, you cannot attack the academy, which is like a floating island, unless it is at the level of Edward the Pirate King’s invincible armada.

Sir, in order to conduct a siege on land, it is said that the attacker must have 3 times as many troops, but even 10 times as much is not enough in the sea.

What if there is even Ruri who flies and fires her breath? I’m done talking

“In other words, what they have to do is ambush quickly in the beginning and take control of the academy and occupy it. And that method is…”

“It must be [A bridge that connects space]”

The answer unexpectedly came from Luminus.

As a local, it is natural. Nana, Shion, and Suni and Korma weren’t originally from this place, so Luminus, the same local as expected, knew the locals’ thoughts best.

“Using the [Bridge that connects space] To infiltrate the opponent’s base and make a surprise attack, it’s a common occurrence in continental history.”

“……I’ll send a message to Ruri for a moment.”

Originally, the transmission sound is used only for the opponent in sight, but in the case of me, it can be used when the qi touches.

Can’t you just say it out of your will? Do you have any rumors in the neighborhood? It’s only used when spreading widely.

[Hey, Ruri. [Bridge Connecting Space] Stop using it right now!]

[What happened?]

[The bastards of the White Church are going to have trouble]

[It’s worth knowing. Wait a minute]

Ruri was quick to grasp the situation and act. He immediately contacted the academy’s fantasy laboratory and issued an order to stop using the 【Bridge Connecting Space】.

[Uh? Wait a minute. Aren’t they contacting you?]

[What?]

I reactivated the feeling that I had turned off because I was concerned about the other side. The situation at the academy comes into view at once.

And… I sensed that the White Theology Department, who were attending the academy, were flocking to the Imagination Institute.

“These fuck fucking youngs ……. !!!!”

They were meant to be like this from the beginning.

Going from one side to the other is no problem. In the end, it is because the destination is the academy and the destination is the White Church.

However, moving from that side to this side, even if the other person is an academy student, needs to go through immigration. It was natural to reject it if there was anything wrong with it.

Because they know that too, they took control of the Imagination Research Institute. To prepare to pretend to be a student inside the academy, and eventually have an accident like this.

“I can’t do it. Go to Plan B”

“Have you ever had a plan B?”

“A is the straight attack method. B is the back of the head base.”

Anyway, things happened. If I had time for even a day or two, I would have had more than enough time to prepare, but I didn’t know that I would be working right away at the time I took Xeon.

No, it seems that he intended to take control of the academy separately from taking Xeon. And Ruri and me at the academy. As there are two Continental Ten Rivers, I will send the Continental Ten Rivers as well to make sure it is dealt with.

“They must have guessed victory at the moment they broke in. To them, taking hostages is a game to win.”

“It’s the scariest thing to do when you’re not careful.”

I asked Korma how many clones he could create.

“Ah, if it’s an alter ego, I can make up to 50 people.”

“Do you use self-fantasy?”

“About 40 people though.”

“There are so many”

“Because from the beginning [Dream Demons] Are self-fantasies that don’t consume much imagination power.”

There are as many as 40 alter egos that can use Korma’s self-fantasy that has not been discovered by anyone, even though he has infiltrated the Vatican.

If the real Korma is determined and wants to cause chaos in the hostile camp, it would be enough to just assassinate the commander. Well, it’s a little hard to make Korma do something like murder because he’s still a kid.

“Please watch the timing to save the hostage students by making as much of an alter ego as possible and going into hiding. Put at least one person next to me to deliver the order.”

“I see”

“Ah, assign one to Seon. And if Seon gives you a signal through Corma after hiding for a while, move and save the hostage.”

“Okay, mister.”

“And my wife… Has nothing to do”

“Don’t talk like a superfluous human. Uhm, just in case, if you think you’re going to hurt a hostage, do you draw attention?”

“My wife is good at pulling aggro. But the important thing is your safety, right?”

“Even if it’s not as good as your station master, my space-time barrier is not easy. Don’t worry and come back.”

Something that has already happened. It’s pretty simple to mess with them before they take the hostage, but I didn’t want it to end too quickly.

Traditionally, the higher a person falls, the greater the fall. It’s best to trample on those guys who have the academy in their hands and are inflated with a dream of conquering the continent.

“Should I talk to Ruri separately?”

I immediately contacted Ruri. The other side also realized that they couldn’t get in touch with the Institute of Science and Technology and seemed to be moving here and there, but it was too late to try to stop them now.

What was needed now was not to prevent their invasion, but rather how to deal with it.

[Uhm……Okay. There are holes in the strategy because it was rushed, but if you cover it with the power of the transcendent, it will be pretty easy. First of all, I’m going to fight them moderately, and then I’ll just surrender because of the hostages]

“Don’t worry, I’ll save you later.”

[Take more care of the kids than me]

“Okay”

Also ruri. As if they weren’t trying to subdue Ruri by holding students hostage for no reason, Ruri was showing affection to the students that much.

In my senses, the gaps that I couldn’t detect gradually increased in the fantasy research institute. That means the number of intruders from the White Church with the pieces of Jantman will increase.

But not one of them will die gracefully.

“Religion is, after all, mostly an illusion created by people who are afraid of death.”

Let’s see if the dead god can save you from hell.

*        *    *

The Academy’s Science Lab. [Bridge connecting space] In front.

The nearby area smelled of blood, and several researchers who were managing it were murdered and left lying around.

The white theology students who were attending the academy surprised them, obtained the authority, and arbitrarily used the【Bridge Connecting Space】to connect with the Church.

Chuck! Chuck! Chuck!

The Holy Knights of the White Kingdom supply fantasy power and continue to use 【Bridge Connecting Space】, which only a few people can cross over, and the Holy Knights of the Church Country come over to the academy.

Moving in an orderly fashion, dozens or even hundreds of paladins appeared at the academy until the fancy research institute was cramped.

Clad in white full armor, it would not be strange to be called the elite of the Church, but they had a deep murderous intent and hostility to be called priests.

“It’s a dirty land.”

A paladin frowned and muttered.

He looks middle-aged, but in reality he is close to old age.

His name is Pierre More Beckett.

Being a follower of the White Church, it is natural for him to be a fanatic, and his position is Cardinal and his position is Heretic Inquisitor.

The sword of the pope who does not listen to the orders of the pope, who kills and disposes of those who violate the doctrine of the goddess. He was a maniac who killed heretics and a man who frowned upon hearing the name of a different race.

“I report it. Currently, all the Knights of Pale have been transferred to the academy, and the academy officials don’t seem to notice us yet.”

“Okay. Move as planned. In the name of the goddess.”

“I understand!!! In the name of the goddess!!!”

From the time they were about to capture the academy, they had already planned it.

Hundreds of Paladins will be the first to attack the students, capturing them and making them hostages. Doesn’t kill Because the more hostages, the better.

But… That was only a story limited to human students.

“Even if they exist, there is no need for filthy foreign hostages. There are filthy things in the filthy land, so I have to purify them with blood.”

Soon you start hearing screams.

It was the sound announcing the beginning of the Continental Conquest War waged by the White Church.

“It’s finally starting, Cardinal Pierre.”

“…….Bishop Claude. How are you here, who should be in the Vatican?”

After taking Zeon to the Vatican and making him a follower of the goddess, he returned to the academy again.

In fact, he may not have returned. It is a place where a battle will soon take place, and even if there is a Claude who is not strong in power, it will only hinder rather than help.

“Aren’t there two people who are the most problematic in this plan? One is the head of the department, Rurikies, and the other is the Empire’s Ten Continental River Worst Von Frontier.”

“They’re both just heretics.”

“Yes, but it is the heresy that hinders the most in spreading the will of the Goddess. Because I have to be very careful… I have come to ask you one favor.”

“Are you thinking of ruining such an important plan with your personal opinion?”

Cardinal Pierre frowned. But Claude shook his head and continued.

“If you look at the character of the 3rd prince, he is someone who has no interest in anyone but his own. In one kingdom, because of that, he punched and dragged the other person, whether he was the heir to the kingdom or not. Do you think there will be?”

“……Let’s continue.”

“Please attach a few paladins. I’m acquainted with his acquaintances. Above all, if I catch the person he cherishes the most…… I might be able to command him on the contrary.”

“Hoo”

“And even if you are a ten continental river, if you take a hostage and ‘educate’ it, wouldn’t it be a great follower to spread the doctrine of the goddess?”

The word “Education” Mentioned by Claude gives off a sense of disquiet.

“I’ll give you twenty paladins who know how to fantasize about themselves. Instead, you’ll have to pay for the results.”

“Enough”

Elite of a country. Among them, there are twenty Holy Knights who are dreamers and have even pieces of Zantman.

At that level, it was enough troops to be able to compete with some of the Continental Ten Rivers.

Claude smiled sinisterly. On the surface, he said it was to lay the groundwork for the Continental Conquest War, but……. No, that statement was true. At least until a few months ago.

But now his purpose was focused on one thing.

Someone beautiful enough to be called a goddess.
