〈 Pantheon (4) 〉
As I have said repeatedly, the Pantheon was not a very tight-knit organization, with each member having different doctrines and beliefs.
The only bond that existed between them was that they were all priests who served God.
For example, it was more like an organization created with the purpose of encouraging business partners working in the same industry to respect each other and resolve problems amicably without causing embarrassment.
But of course, not all religions could accept such a moderate appeasement.
A religious denomination that believes in one faith and rejects all worship of other idols as heresy.
A denomination that cannot be integrated in modern society because it prefers inhumane rituals such as human sacrifice.
Churches that plot the end of the world because the nature of the god they serve is biased towards evil spirits.
For various reasons, the number of those who were priests but did not belong to the pantheon and were active separately was not very small.
Of course, if it had simply stopped at that level, it could have ended with just keeping a close eye on them… but
the problem was that the number of spies hiding in the Pantheon while hiding that they were such ‘followers of the evil god’ was significant.
Naturally, the goals of those who sneaked in with such intentions were not very good.
Yeah, for example—.
Like the secretary who heads the North American branch of the Buncheon Society.
“Well, what Brother Heinrich said…”
Priest Jason stroked his beard with a heavy expression.
“You are saying that there is a follower of the evil spirit who is a member of an organization called the Buncheonhoe operating secretly in the Pantheon. And that too at a fairly high level.”
He nodded with a serious face, as if asking when he had been interrogating and pushing the other person.
Even after wiping his eyes, he couldn’t see the skeptical expression he had just a moment ago about Heinrich’s claim.
“That’s right. They are the world’s evil itself, leading countless dimensions to destruction. I can’t even imagine how deep the roots are. … Perhaps the Pantheon is not the only place that has been touched.”
Heinrich’s confident voice echoed throughout the audience, and the faces of those present hardened.
That’s why his remarks now had a level of persuasiveness that was different from before.
All of this…
“Ahem.”
It was all thanks to that blonde kid who looked down on the audience arrogantly with his arms crossed with an uncharacteristically solemn expression.
A child who appears to be only six or seven years old.
However, most of those present here were not foolish enough to judge others simply by looking at their appearance.
‘No matter how I look at it, I can’t believe it. But this incredible magical power…’
‘It’s a dragon… Even in the world I’ve been to, it was nothing more than a legend, but I never thought I’d see it like this on Earth. ‘That’s something you’ll have to see if you live for a long time.’
‘Incredible energy. If it can build up this much power, it’s definitely not a young dragon. Is that appearance a means of distracting oneself? Or just personal preference?’
Undeniable evidence that beings from another dimension have come to Earth.
Not only was it enough to witness that unprecedented moment, but with the person involved standing right in front of us, the weight of the words uttered by the person who performed such a miracle could not help but become that much heavier.
Moreover, wasn’t Heinrich a user of divine power who could even be called a saint?
‘In other words, what I say is not simply something I say as an individual. It’s no different than spreading the word with the glory of God on your back.’
Heinrich nodded slowly, looking around at the people next to him who were discussing their opinions.
First of all, we succeeded in impressing them with the topic as originally planned.
‘I’m going to go with the regular method like this. After all, this is the best for now.’
This was an opportunity when the Beoncheonhoe bastards had not yet made any active moves.
The passive response to Heinrich, who had already come to the fore, was probably also due to the fact that they had not yet had a proper sense of what and how much he knew.
But that won’t last long either.
‘They won’t stay still either. But I think I can at least get my ankles back with this.’
No matter what anyone says, the Buncheonhoe was a global… no, pan-dimensional, mega-organization that had been established on this earth for a long time.
No matter how much he used his hands here and there to absorb various forces, there was little chance of victory just by fighting in the shadows.
For that reason, didn’t he also aim to bring the existence of Beoncheonhoe to the forefront?
‘And Heinrich’s role is to tank and attract the aggro of those who come to the surface.’
Isn’t this a mission that fits perfectly with his position as a paladin?
Of course, that didn’t mean I had any intention of just trying to be fair and sunny and getting into a war of nerves with the guys.
Anyway, I already had a lot of avatars ready that could move in the dark.
‘Beoncheonhoeju. I don’t know if he’s on Earth right now or in another world…’
Fortunately, despite his misfortune, he had already achieved considerable godhood and could not move carelessly on this Earth.
Even if he is on Earth, he is probably stuck in an isolated place and occasionally receives information from outside through his subordinates.
‘…I will destroy everything you have built up until now, one by one. So that you don’t have to worry about the rest of the world anymore.’
A bright light flashed in Heinrich’s eyes as he clenched his fists.
Horus, standing next to him, nodded his small head with firm determination.
After such an unexpected uproar, the meeting between various observers and Saint Heinrich of the Other World proceeded smoothly without any further delay.
