phase(9)
I turned my gaze toward the voice of a psychopath who proudly claimed that he was hallucinating.
Of course, I thought there would be one or two people like this.
There is no way that all the people gathered in this chapel would have an unblemished faith in Orion with one heart and one mind.
Even so, I thought they would show off their bluff in the presence of each other after the service was over, but the reaction came right away like this.
It’s the direction I intended for these people in the first place, so I don’t care what kind of bravado you put on when I can’t see you, but don’t you think it’s against commercial morals to do that in front of me as soon as you’re done talking? Just want to be a saint?
What are you doing… Do you want to see the face of a passionate believer?
“Thank you. Thank you! It made me realize I was going the wrong way.”
…uh.
I suddenly wanted to turn my head.
This person is truly happy with all his heart and soul…?
“Did you really find it?”
I asked the man who jumped up, trying to control his voice so that it wouldn’t tremble.
When you say something nice, say that it’s gone even now. Say that you had a hallucination because you were moved, but that it disappeared after it calmed down.
“I still vaguely feel it when I close my eyes! A white light in the darkness where I can’t see anything… Ah!”
The person who had continued talking to that point knelt down and took the posture of praying, as if his emotions had risen again.
When I close my eyes and focus on my vision, I get the feeling that I see something shining.
“I feel like the light is embracing me…”
…Isn’t it? Can you see it for real?
this isn’t crazy
The mental illness I was talking about was hypocrisy, not hallucinatory schizophrenia.
I told you to look, but what if you really see it!
After rolling on the floor in my mind, I regained my composure and looked at the situation.
Actually, the situation itself wasn’t that bad.
It seems to me that no matter how much I look at it, I am so engrossed in the current situation that I am seeing or feeling empty things, but apart from that, the testimony of that man is a strong factor that proves that what I am saying is true.
Why would religion have a testimony time or something?
Saying that an ordinary person, not a professional priest, experienced God was bound to attract other ordinary believers by itself.
In fact, even the people right in front of me were amazed at the man’s testimony and regretted why they couldn’t experience such a miracle, but they didn’t doubt the man’s words.
However, what I was really worried about was not the patient’s symptoms, which I did not know were false statements or hallucinations.
“Could you come this way? There’s someone who’s confused about what faith is.”
As if I wanted to praise the man, I created a benevolent atmosphere and called the man forward.
Seeing the man who couldn’t even walk properly, as if his body was weak, the people around him scrambled to support him and try to come forward.
If I stayed as it was, it seemed that sooner or later the man’s body would be sentenced to death, so I quickly approached him and held out my hand.
Fortunately, the crowd that had flocked to the man split like a wave as I approached, so there was no major problem.
“I’m sorry. My body is weak…”
If you sit down after doing such a damn thing, of course, your body will relax.
I thought that in my heart, but apart from my thoughts, my body steadily spit out words that raised chicken flesh.
“I’d rather hear a thank you than an apology.”
Saying that, I stretched out my hand, and the man stood up holding my hand with a moved face, and like that, we went out side by side on the podium.
“Could you give a brief self-introduction?”
I know it’s a sudden sentiment to be saying this, but it seems like a parent observation class.
“My name is Ordo. I am 38 years old and until recently I was a poor man who couldn’t even take care of my own business. However, I entered the place where Saint Ronan built…
After that, a man who talks about his life story in a stammering tone as if confessing it. I think it’s really amazing to be able to lay down everything and reveal his life in front of so many people.
That’s a really good story. Of course I didn’t hear it.
It’s not that I didn’t listen because I didn’t give a 3-line summary, but I was busy too.
As I was supporting the man on the podium, I placed the hand I had placed on the man’s shoulder as if to encourage him again, then spread divine power over the man’s body.
The man was startled at first, but soon started talking again, probably thinking that I was doing this to cheer him up.
yeah i never mind
The man had strong faith in me, so I didn’t doubt it at all, so I spread my divine power to every corner of the man’s body with ease.
And finally, I could feel something in the man’s body that wasn’t my divine power, albeit minutely.
…This is real.
It was divine power without having to worry about its identity. It was not that I spread it into my body, nor did the sacred power that I put in stones for performance to energize my body remain. It was divine power.
It’s so weak right now, I looked closely with the premise that even I might have it in the first place, so I figured it out. Most clerics couldn’t even notice it, but once I’ve got holy power in my body, the day when I can use holy magic might come someday. .
It wasn’t that that mattered.
As soon as I put on this useless play, a person with divine power appears?
No matter how you look at it, isn’t the timing too coincidental?
Even looking at it myself, I wonder if the divine power bloomed because of me, but if this fact became known, it was obvious without looking at how others would see it.
Of course, I have also experimented with it, but it never happened that the divine power bloomed when I infused it.
In the first place, if this person really made a fuss because of me, saying that he could see something like this in the flowering of his divine power, shouldn’t everyone else also make a fuss about him by saying that he was seeing his divine power blooming?
Even if it was true that this person’s divine power bloomed because of me because there were complicated standards that I didn’t know about, anyway, it wasn’t the ability to do what I wanted at this point anyway.
What the hell is this divine power that suddenly appears and gives me trouble?
When I met the elven god and thought about the possibility that Orion might really be absent in this world, one of the things I was most curious about was this divine power.
If there is no god, who the hell is giving this divine power? What is the standard for the divine power to manifest in the first place?
At first, God cursed at such corrupt people for distributing divine power without thinking of thunderbolts, but if there really is no God, where the hell did divine power come from in the first place?
As I usually thought, even as most people in this world believe, it was certain that it was not an ability that came down as a reward for just being faithful to God.
Beyond that, I don’t know for sure, but there must be some complicated circumstances that only the gods know about. The elven god didn’t tell me anything, so I honestly couldn’t guess.
In the end, what matters to me is the awareness of divine power in the world where these ordinary intelligent beings live.
The recognition that it is a grace bestowed by God. And the ripple effect that will happen when I say that I can make others have divine power.
After pondering the pros and cons, I shook my head.
Young Ae also had this misunderstanding once.
At that time, did you misunderstand that Orion gave you divine power to prove that my will was right?
Even if I took a hundred steps and revealed that I really have the ability to make the divine power bloom in others, a tremendous storm that is incomparable to that of the past would come, but even among them, there is no such ability in reality? .
Of course, as dangerous as it is, the benefits of being known for having this ability would be incomparable.
It may be possible to literally wipe out the Orion Church and build a new Orion Church in an instant.
However, rather than unifying the world and ruling it, I am a person who just wants to stay in bed in the lord castle with a fruitful estate.
Now, he is struggling to drive out the owner of the land because he wants to possess the land, but it was not until he brought a magical new sword that made the legendary puller an emperor to drive out the owner.
With that sword, he should be able to kill the original owner. And until he dies, he will live in an endless storm. Even if the sword uses magic instead of the owner’s will?
No matter how you look at it, it was correct to just cover it up like it was back then.

Later on, if it became known that the man possessed divine power in earnest, it would not be a big deal if Shinto-nim’s devoutness was rewarded.
But why do I keep thinking…
My gaze moved to the waiting room next to the chapel where I came out.
Even if it was a waiting room, the window was open and connected to the podium, so I could see the expressions and auras of the people inside the waiting room.
Among them, the aura of the bishop looking this way was clearly visible.
His face was still the same as his smile, but he harbored doubts and confusion inside.
I doubted it too, but there’s no way that bishop wouldn’t do it.
In the first place, feeling the warm light when you close your eyes is one of the representative feelings that those who have developed divine power say.
My brain got complicated.
If that bishop had the same doubts as me and looked closely at this man’s body, he might find out that he possessed divine power.
So what should I do?
Outwardly, I didn’t show that I was trying to find out something from the man, so it’s enough to just say I didn’t know.
However, I said that I did not know anything about it, and the church, and even the illegal group called the Shadow, said, “Oh, I see, we must have misunderstood.”
Right now, the value of my name has grown so much that they are conciliating me and inducing me to come back to them on my own feet, but if they assumed that I have that ability, it was obvious that they would really do nothing.
Even if the entire church is shattered, if you have the ability to mass-produce priests, rebuilding it won’t be a task.
How the hell am I supposed to convince that bishop that I don’t have those abilities?
Why do I have to worry about proving that I don’t really have abilities that I don’t have?
It was a very difficult problem. No, it wasn’t really a difficult problem. I inadvertently looked at the man who was finishing his confession next to me.
A man who realized what true faith is, died of a sudden heart attack after confessing his life history in a chapel. The saint next to him tried hard to save him, but it was not enough. He took me without pain. Explain. Since the corpse can’t create divine power, you won’t be able to find it, so the problem is solved neatly.
…
Should the bad thoughts end here?
I noticed that the hand on the man’s shoulder was getting stronger before I knew it, and hurriedly relaxed.
Fortunately, the man was intoxicated with his words and didn’t seem to think anything special.
“That’s why I’m able to receive this undeserved grace right now. It’s all thanks to Orion-sama and Saint Ronan!”
Just in time, when the man finished speaking, I looked around and most of the people in the chapel were listening to him with great concentration.
The testimony effect is great. I thought it would be effective to some extent, but this seemed to be more effective than my usual one-day speech about what faith is and what Orion-sama is.
In fact, if not long ago, the life of a 38-year-old who was poor could have a great story.
It is a world where most people live a life that has been decided since they were born, unless there is an extreme change in status, such as a fallen aristocrat or a person who has risen to the aristocracy.
However, the stories of people who became aristocrats from commoners, the so-called successful people, are interesting.
As a result, you already know that you succeeded. The hardships they release in the middle become adversity for success, and misfortune becomes an ordeal to harden yourself. Do it. And finally get the reward.

“It was a very touching story. Ordo-nim. Everything is the result of Ordo-nim’s own faithfulness, so you don’t have to give me credit for that.”
“Oh, thank you. I will live by faith for the rest of my life.”
I looked at the man who said that and thought for a moment.
I said that this person belongs to an organization I created. Honestly, it’s so hard to come up with a cool and meaningful name.
I’m still thinking about what to do with the bishop, so my head hurts, but there’s a good excuse, so let’s just solve the troublesome things here at once.
Having made up my mind, I continued speaking.
“Didn’t you say that Ordo-sama is a member of the organization Helena-sama is managing?”
“That’s right! This place was born with the mercy of Saint Ronan!”
Hey, it doesn’t work.
I secretly tried to return the group’s responsibility to Young-ae, but I was immediately cut off from the members of the group.
In fact, in the yard where people are even giving names to people like this, there is no point in playing around like this now.
Desperate, I continued to speak.
“It just worked out. I sincerely hope that people will not walk the wrong path of faith through this incident.”
“…?”
The man was suddenly looking at me with a blank expression, as if he didn’t know what I was talking about.
“So, I would like to convey to that organization here and now the three things necessary for the right path of faith by name.”
“Three things…?” “Did you say that you will give me your name now?” “Suddenly like this?”
People started to stir, as if my words were quite unexpected.
“What is that?”
At my words, the man also asked in a trembling voice if he had noticed that he was suddenly appearing in front of me as the representative of the organization and receiving his name.
It’s difficult to expect that. I just put together the words I came up with without thinking because it was annoying.
“Faith, hope and love are those.”
“Faith hope love?”
The faces of the people who heard my words slanted as if they were confused as a group.
You guys don’t know? I don’t know either.
I’m sorry. I can’t think of anything other than this.
“Faith is the most necessary thing for faith. If there is no faith in the first place, faith cannot exist. It is the origin of faith.”
As I began to explain further, the murmured people shut their mouths and began to listen to what I had to say.
“Hope is the path that we want to move forward through that faith. The reason why I broke stone statues and preached long sermons is because this hope was wrong in the end. Hope is the direction of faith.”
As my words continued, some people gradually realized something.
What the hell did you realize? Is it okay to achieve enlightenment with this floating sound?
“Love is a heart that loves yourself and even those around you. Without such a heart, you cannot maintain faith. Love is the fuel of faith.”
Ugh, I’m getting goosebumps because I’m trying to say something irritating while trying to give it a meaningless meaning. After clearing my throat, I looked at the man again and said,
“As long as you don’t forget these three things, your faith will be maintained. I will give you the name of the Three Churches in order to remind you not to forget these three things.”
As soon as I finished my words, letters began to be engraved on the man’s affiliation. This is a real-time reflection…?
While I was surprised by the unexpected fact, applause began to be heard from one side of the chapel, which had been quiet.
As I turned my gaze toward it, countless people were clapping fervently, ready to burst into tears.
It was to the point where I could tell who it was without even looking at the affiliation.
“Faith, Hope, Love! We will never forget you!”
“We will never forget the teachings that Saint Ronan gave us!”
As soon as the people started shouting enthusiastically, the inside of the chapel was plastered with three words: faith, hope and love.
To be honest, I wondered if it was made too roughly, but it’s really up to you to give it meaning.
Although only I knew the true meaning of the name Three Churches, I was glad that people liked it so much.
Faith, hope and love, Koreans who are usually non-believers say that money is the most important thing. I am also a non-believer.
I wish I could make a lot of money by becoming my private organization.
“Faith hope love!”
I nodded my head in satisfaction as I watched the people shouting.
