Chapter 978: Will of god (2)
Both the prime minister and I once again knitted our brows when we heard this, but we didn’t say a thing as we waited to see what the priest had to say.
The priest didn’t mind this at all as he started showing his flare.
He first raised his hands up and then acted like he was giving a revelation as he said, “The great monster wave is upon us, but we humans shall get through this together as a united race. As such, we all need to do our part as part of the human race.”
Once he said this, he lowered his arms and his head to look at me before saying, “Since you are all a part of the human race, it is only natural that you all do your parts. It is the will of the great Zeno.”
The way that he said this was almost as if he was making some kind of declaration.
It was as if he didn’t care about our opinion, only the will of the great Zeno seemed to matter. After he said this, the priest just looked at us as if he was waiting for us to do something. However, we didn’t do a single thing as we calmly looked at him, as if we were waiting for him to say what he was here for.
The priest slightly knitted his brows and a trace of displeasure appeared on his eyes when he saw this, but he calmed himself down right away and said, “You have suffered the attacks of the monster waves as well, right?”
We didn’t know what he was planning by saying this, but we still nodded in agreement.
With that kind smile that was on his face, it seemed like he was a completely different person from before.
He seemed like a priest that truly cared about the masses, rather than the greedy person that he had been before.
After he saw us nod, the priest then said, “I’ve heard that you’ve been able to find a way to stop the monster waves. Is that true?”
Both the prime minister and I didn’t seem surprised to hear this.
We actually looked like we had already been expecting this.
But then again, it was only normal that they would know about this.
It was such a large matter that it was impossible to hide. Even if we wanted to stop them, it would be impossible for us to silence everyone in the kingdom.
So all we could do was let this information spread.
After he said this, I just simply gave him a nod to show agreement.
The priest’s eyes lit up when he saw this before he said, “Then it is only natural that you share this method with us. We are working for the greater good of the human race and as part of the human race, it’s only natural that you share this method with us.”
The other priests and nuns nodded in agreement before cheering for the priest.
“For the human race! For the great Zeno!”
Though they acted like they were acting for the greater good, it was easy to see just on whose behalf they were acting on. It was clear that they only wanted to take this supposed method from us for their own gain.
Without even waiting for us to respond, the priest suddenly came forward and raised his hand in front of him to say, “Hand it over and we’ll take care of it.”
He stopped his act and just bluntly stated what he wanted.
However, all that met this request was silence.
The two of us just looked at him with calm looks on our faces, but neither of us seemed like we were about to do anything.
When the priest saw this, he couldn’t help knitting his brows.
This time, he didn’t bother hiding his displeasure as he looked at the two of us.
Seeing that we still didn’t say anything, the priest finally couldn’t take it anymore and said, “Are you going against the will of the great Zeno? Are you saying that you will not cooperate with us for the good of the human race?”
All of the priests and nuns revealed displeased looks when they heard this.
The best way to piss off those from a religion would be to insult their religion.
For these people that heard that their religion wouldn’t be supported, they would naturally be offended.
But this was beyond that.
These were greedy people that weren’t having their greed fulfilled, so they were angry for a completely different reason.
As such, they were very displeased with the two of us who had refused them.
Even though they threatened us like this, we didn’t act flustered at all since we had already expected them to act this way.
I just calmly looked at the priest before saying, “Of course not, we would never do that.” The priest still had the same displeased look on his face, but he didn’t say anything as he waited for me to explain.
I calmly raised my hand in front of him and showed him the Mark of God.
The priest looked confused at first, but then he slowly narrowed his eyes to look at the mark that had appeared. It was as if he recognized something, but at the same time, it seemed like he was having trouble recognizing this thing.
He just stared at the mark on my hand in silence for a while, not saying a single thing. After holding it up for a bit, I said, “Though I want to, it isn’t as if I can just give this up.”
The priest narrowed his eyes to look at the mark on my hand before saying, “You’re saying that this is what you used against the monsters?”
I didn’t confirm or deny this as I calmly looked back at the priest.
But after a while, the priest finally said, “I don’t believe such a thing. Bring out the real item that you used to repel the monster waves!”
