Chapter 531.2: Premonition (2)
Of course, the proposal to confer sainthood upon someone as young as Roel was bound to draw contention. This matter would likely be first put aside for a few years before there was any follow-through.
Nevertheless, it was already plenty shocking that the church was even considering it at all.
Roel could be considered the future superior of the entire Genesis Goddess Church—with the exception of the Xeclydes, of course—and this was a lifetime appointment. Even the cardinal in the Holy Capital wouldn’t be able to do anything about him.
It was a huge relief that Roel hadn’t become complacent as a result of his identity. He remained humble and sincere throughout the entire prayer, making him a role model for the people.

Being Toward Death was a self-created ability as much as it was Sia’s blessing. It had formed out of his courage to forge his own path, and it was supported by his bloodline and Crown Origin Attribute. There was no doubt that this ability was uniquely his. That was probably why he was able to adeptly use Being Toward Death without practice.
Praying brought the same feeling of serenity to Roel too, which likely contributed toward his favorable impression of it. To his surprise, he didn’t feel the same serenity from praying today in this majestic cathedral. A frown formed on his face, and he couldn’t help wondering about the reason.
