110 – Hatred and Rage
Who is the god Christine refers to?
Like a dagger, those words pierced deep into Christine’s heart and madly ripped open the inside.
The size of the yellow pupil gradually decreased, and on the contrary, the white pupil gradually widened.
The slightest bit of life in his eyes had completely lost its luster. Inside the eyes whose light had gone out, only the abyss that was deeper than the abyss remained.
“What did you say?”
Christine’s voice trembled. Did people say that if the shock is too great, even tears won’t come out? The current Christine was exactly that.
Christine was shocked and could not come to her senses. What did that just say? What did you call her god?
What was in front of my eyes was a black blooded monster. The blasphemous thing that her god hated and even issued an order to kill all those in sight.
Even if they made atonement for their sins by sacrificing their bodies, they would never reach heaven, beasts carrying original sin.
But they talked wildly. It wasn’t enough to ask who her god was, and even that expression was blasphemous.
It was Christine’s responsibility. The wings of divine power that sprouted from his back increased in size.
At first it was about the size of Christine’s torso, then it was a little longer than Christine’s entire body, and now it’s as big as a few decent buildings put together.
What Christine’s divine power designates as heretical is her God and all beings in this world except her.
So, it was obvious what would happen to the beings designated as heretical if the holy power was freely expressed through anger.
The divine power flowing from Christine randomly melted everything it touched and multiplied slowly.
All liquid things turned into holy water, and even human blood was no exception.
As the hardened blood soaked into the soil floor turned into holy water, the soil began to glow. Originally, holy water was supposed to breathe life into the land, but now it was different.
As the hardened blood clinging to trees and grass turned into holy water, white flames mixed with pale yellow rose from there.
“Aren’t you asking what he was talking about?”
Normally, Christine’s divine power wouldn’t work so strongly. It was thanks to the boy’s psychological limitations.
The boy knew that Christine’s divine power would designate everything in this world as heretical except for herself and her, so he repeatedly taught him to be extra careful not to burn the world itself when drawing out the divine power.
Well, it wasn’t completely successful. Although I could point out the direction of faith, I couldn’t touch the faith itself.
Artifacts created by humans did not avoid being branded as heretical by divine power, but natural objects such as vegetation and lakes were just ordinary nature for the time being.
At least until the light went completely out of those eyes like now.
The holy water created by Christine’s divine power was no longer a liquid of blessing that heals nature and imbues humans with divinity.
It was a terrible liquid of destruction that burned and melted everything it touched, only in the name of purifying heresy.
“You are that god, and who do you worship? Are you deaf? Or do you have very low intelligence? Is this saying that strength and intelligence are inversely proportional? Some insects do not recognize the speed at which they run, so they have to run and stop and run and stop repeatedly. I heard there are insects, so do you? Your head can’t keep up with the speed of swinging your fist, so you swing it once and stop for a while, swing it once and then pause?”
The words of the black blood monster continued. Christine’s dimmed eyes stared at it for a moment.
The black blood-contaminated area, which had expanded its range while pushing away the divine power for a while, was now being pushed back little by little.
Suddenly, Christine closed her eyes.
“God always looks down upon the earth and caresses his lambs. You dare not doubt him.”
The words of prayer flowed out of his mouth in muttered voices. Christine’s hands were clasped together in front of her chest.
“Either in moments of brilliant glory or in moments of devastating destruction, God is always by the Lamb’s side. Know that glory is not yours alone, and believe that destruction is not yours alone to handle.”
Knees wrapped in white garter belts and stockings fell to the ground.
“Even if I get lost in a dreary desert, even if I encounter a storm in the vast ocean, I know that I have nothing to fear as long as my faith in God endures.”
The black blooded monster, unable to see its face, jumped out towards Christine. And he swung his right arm.
“God embraces everything you do, and it shows that our lives are not ours, but are subject to God. Therefore, whenever you come before God, bow your head in reverence, and swear immortal faith.”
Christine didn’t move. It was just to end the prayer calmly.
“Don’t live for yourself, resolve to live for God.”
However, it was not Christine who was harmed.
The black-blooded monster looked alternately at its own body, which melted at an terrifying speed, and at the right arm, which disappeared without a shape at all, even though it only entered the range of divine power.
You were the one who rushed in, you were the one who swung your fist, you were the one who attacked. Why did she say that the nun was fine and had to face her melted right arm?
No, I knew it in my heart.
I couldn’t have known However, seeing the divine power that was several times stronger than before in that short moment, it was only that there were many things to think about for a while.
Serena’s gauntlet was crushed at once by a new black blood monster created when she hadn’t even recovered a tenth of her strength.
Of course, even now, compared to her in her prime, she is only the size of an ant’s eyeball, but if you flip the expression just now, it means that she has ten times more strength than when she faced Serena.
However, even with that power, the moment she swung her fist at that nun, her body melted on the contrary.
It wasn’t like that at first, so the number of cases was one of two. Either they were hiding their power, or they were getting stronger in real time.
Either way, it was a good thing.
“It’s strange. It’s so strange. Really. Really. Why? What? Why is this happening? Huh? Huh? Huh?”
Instantly, the appearance of the black blood monster began to change.
The face that was like a monster itself gradually took on a human shape, and something that looked like hair grew to shoulder height on the head that was covered in smooth leather.
The shiny skin, like leather with a glossy coating, has changed to be human.
The width of his shoulders, wide open in the shape of an inverted triangle, gradually decreased. The chest, which had been filled with muscles, lost its hardness, and replaced it with softness and swelled up.
The waist became narrower, and the pelvis became more flat. Suddenly, those thighs had curves that could be called beautiful legs, not muscles.
Even the clothes were not made, so there was not a single thread on her body, but since the cracks in the pubic area and the tip of the chest were not formed, it might not have mattered.
A black blooded monster, no, something that turned into a human from a black blooded monster kicked the ground and retreated.
“When I see you, anger boils from the depths of my heart. Why is it? You are at most a slightly strong religious person. Anyway, when I regain my strength, I will abandon God like other religious people and become a heretic that I hate so much, begging for my life and begging for my life. He’s just a guy who’s about to die. Obviously, you should kill them casually, just like you would step on an insect on the road. It’s strange. I keep hating you when I see you. The last year I used that sword, and the year I used that magic a while ago. This is the third Second. It’s really strange. To feel hatred for bitches who won’t even be against me anyway. It’s strange. It’s strange. Am I overreacting? Is that so? Or—”
The woman in black blood, who was talking like crazy, stopped talking.
“—-Do you think there is something about you and the god you believe in?”
Did he use those words as a signal flare, or was the timing exquisitely right? Christine, who had been kneeling on the ground and concentrating on prayer, opened her eyes again.
However, those eyes that stared at the world again did not contain vitality.
Christine slowly got up. It grew to the size of several buildings combined, and now the wings of the divine power that purifies and defines everything around as heresy trembled slightly.
“At first I asked who the god you speak of is, but now I don’t need it. Because I believe in me. I can’t be wrong. I won’t listen to your answer. I’m not asking for a connection, I’m going to assume it’s a connection. Yes, I’m sure. My gut feeling is There’s nothing wrong. You have to kill me here. The sword-wielding year, the magic-wielding year. No, just everything. I will kill you. I will kill you unconditionally.
Christine stepped forward with her right foot. The sound of footsteps echoed loudly through the frantic repetition of the dark-blooded woman’s murmur.
Nothing was left in Christine’s mind. Only the annihilation of heretics who blasphemed her god remained.
It didn’t matter what that heresy said or said. I didn’t even want to listen to it with one ear and let it out with the other, so I ignored it altogether.
Because once you hear it, it is certain that your otherwise sinful body will be contaminated with the filthy heretical blasphemy.
Instead, Christine focused.
It spread uncontrollably and gathered the divine power to purify heresy into one point. That point was, of course, his own right fist.
The wings sprouting from his back gradually reduced their size. But that didn’t mean it was weak.
The size of the wings has decreased, but the concentration of divine power felt there is rather thicker.
The divine power that filled the surroundings created a whirlpool and was sucked into Christine’s fist as if a storm was raging.
Quite a few monsters melt just by looking at it, and even black blooded monsters can’t stand it and reap their ferocity, a sacred power that curls up their tails and runs away.
It was concentrated in one place.
She wasn’t a dark-blooded woman who would stand by Christine’s actions like that. Even if that thing is getting stronger, what do you mean?
A black blooded monster, now a black blooded woman, attacked Christine.
In his right hand was a knife that had been pulled out of his skin before he knew it. As he ran, he put the drawn knife on his left waist and held his feet with only his upper body.
Christine stepped out with her left foot. Now, all you have to do is tilt your center of gravity and throw your right hand forward. The concentrated divine power will blow everything in front of you.
And the next moment, the black blood woman was standing right behind Christine.
