Children of the Holy Emperor Chapter 392

392. Negotiation (2)

Seongjin, who could not feel divine power, did not know how that power worked. How can it destroy evil, or how can it purify evil?

But at least one thing could be confirmed. Even his father’s mighty divine power does not harm him, so who in this world would dare to purify him!

That’s why you can clean your mouth with peace of mind.

“Well, if you’re confident, you can try purifying me right now.”

The conference chairman becomes quiet as if water had been poured on him. Because the implications of that proposal were greater than I thought.

Trying to purify someone who couldn’t even be successful? Or are they trying to deny and purify the person whom the Holy Emperor has permitted?

No matter how it is perceived, this is blasphemy that directly challenges the authority of God’s representative!

“… … .”

Of course, even putting blasphemy aside, there were many problems.

What if purification is truly impossible? Not only is it like admitting your own lack of ability in front of everyone, but you are also taking the lead in acknowledging that wrongdoer as an apostle of the Lord!

‘… This is a role that must be avoided at all costs!’

Murmur.

The priests look at each other and whisper.

However, there are bound to be people who rush to any place without thinking –

“profit! “Do you think I can’t do it if I tell you to?”

Cardinal Benitus came down from the podium with a huff and rushed towards Seongjin.

Masain’s eyebrows twitched at the extremely disrespectful attitude, but before his hand could reach the sword, Seongjin quietly raised his hand to stop him.

‘Hang in there, Lord Masaine. We came here to persuade them peacefully.’

‘… ‘Are you serious about that?’

The one who just spewed out his aura and put pressure on the priests?

Pretending not to notice Masain’s absurd gaze, Seongjin calmly watched the skinny old man’s hand stretched out in front of him.

“You bastard! “Get out of this hall of godly gods right now!”

Whoa!

From the hand that grasps the gray conquest, a sacred white light soon bursts out. It was the powerful divine power of Benitus, one of the five cardinals of the Holy Empire and once renowned for his slaying of demons.

‘… That’s amazing! Now I just thought of him as a useless old man in the back room… … .’

It was the moment when the high priests saw him again.

Of course, for Seongjin, who was exposed to the Holy Emperor’s divine power every day, it was an embarrassing power to even call it light.

“… … ?!”

When Seongjin showed no reaction despite being hit directly by divine power, Benitus looked embarrassed for a moment. But soon he began to exhaust his arrogance and squeeze out his soul.

“Hey!”

How much time has passed like that?

In the end, the poor old man lost all his energy and collapsed into his seat, out of breath.

“… “Uh, how does this happen?”

“Well, everyone saw it, right?”

widely.

Seongjin neatly straightened his wrinkled collar and looked around the venue.

“Isn’t it this clear? I am not an enemy of the Empire, nor am I someone you must defeat. “The power given by the Lord is an expression of the Lord’s firm will.”

“… … !”

No matter what the result, we will never be deceived by the sophistry of false things. It was a common thought among the priests present.

However, when an unexpected result unfolded before their eyes, a stronger resonance than expected occurred in their minds.

‘… for a moment. I couldn’t believe it, but maybe?’

‘possiblity… Is it there? Like the ‘ordeal of misunderstanding’ that Saint Grazier experienced long ago, has the hand of the Lord really touched Prince Mores?’

While the air in the conference hall was quietly rumbling, Cardinal Meyer watched the whole scene with sunken eyes.

‘This is not a good trend. ‘Isn’t everyone feeling suspicious?’

It’s been about 10 years since the devil species completely disappeared from the ecliptic. Among the young priests, there were those who did not properly understand the nature of devils and devil contracts.

‘That’s probably why they are so shaken by the prince’s words.’

Cardinal Benitus seemed to have no doubt that Prince Mores was ‘something other than human’.

‘Prince Mores may be a devil contractor connected to a high-ranking devil.’

A demon contractor is only a human being until the demon directly descends into his body.

Therefore, not only can one live in the grace of the main god, but it is also possible to erase the demonic energy itself without communicating with the devil for a long time.

“… dismissal.”

Archbishop Wesker seemed to have thought the same thing. She looks at Cardinal Meyer with her anxious eyes like never before.

“Prince Mores may be… … .”

“Shh! Don’t make the mistake of saying something you’re not sure about, Wesker. “If the lower class had been in some kind of contractual relationship, erosion would have already occurred at the point when the devil’s power was strongly revealed like before.”

okay. That was the problem.

Contractors who descend on the devil or strongly release the power of the devil will eventually be caught up in the erosion and have their souls taken away.

But lo and behold. Even after committing such a terrible act, doesn’t Prince Mores still look fine?

Suddenly, a fearful assumption crossed Cardinal Meyer’s mind.

It would be fortunate if Prince Mores were a tool or an apostle of the main god. Otherwise, ‘that’ would mean something that already surpasses the power of the Lord.

“… But, Your Excellency. “Now that things have come to this, shouldn’t we properly investigate Prince Mores?”

When Archbishop Wesker whispered again in a trembling voice, Cardinal Mayer clicked his tongue slightly.

“inspection? “How?”

How do you usually investigate a contractor who is no different from an ordinary person if they are trying to hide their identity?

Originally, it was simple. Anyone suspected of this can be taken to the Heresy Tribunal and tortured and treated repeatedly until they confess.

but-

“There is no way His Majesty could justly throw His favorite son into a torture chamber! In addition, the prince himself claimed to have been tested by the main god, and only after proudly displaying his demonic energy… … .”

“Okay, then. “Is there really any possibility that what the prince said is true?”

“well… … .”

Cardinal Meyer was skeptical about that.

The ‘ordeal of misunderstanding’ that Saint Grazie suffered literally referred to an episode in which she was accused of being a witch and taken to the Heresy Tribunal. This means that there is no record of the saintly woman exuding demonic energy or anything like that.

However, with such a simple frame-up, didn’t she ultimately have to endure all three sets of ‘trials of the saint’?

‘But it is also ambiguous to tell Prince Mores to prove it as the saint did. Aren’t these trials that His Majesty himself has already banned? Unless the prince steps forward on his own, we cannot force him to undergo trials from our side first.’

A frustrating situation where you can’t do this or that. If the young prince had thought this far before acting, we can’t help but say he was truly clever.

As Cardinal Meyer’s worries deepened, someone called the attention of the confused conference president in a gentle voice.

“everyone.”

It was Cardinal Cafran, the head of the council.

He spoke slowly, without any sign of being disturbed by this series of events.

“You seem to be mistaken for a moment, but today is not a place to accuse Prince Mores of any kind of charges.”

“What do you mean now? “You can’t even hear such a thing coming out of your mouth when you see all that evil energy flowing out of you?”

“Calm down, His Excellency Cardinal Benitus. We have gathered simply to prove the power of [Destruction] that you have. “Don’t forget that.”

Kapran looked rather calm.

okay. What does it matter whether the prince was deceived or whether he was truly an apostle who was tried by the Lord? The moment he gave off that kind of evil energy, he was already pushed out from the 18th throne.

“Yes, yes! “There it was!”

Flash!

At his point, Benitus’s eyes, which had been blurry, regain vitality.

that’s right. Haven’t we created a trap that can never fail? I swear to the Lord that I will never allow something so wrong and dangerous under the glorious name of an Apostle of the Lord!

“ruler! Come on and prove it! hurry!”

He hurriedly ran to the stage and gathered the small statues he had prepared in his arms.

“If you are truly an apostle of the Lord, you will probably be able to pass this test! Come on, let’s solve these!”

Slap!

He returned at a quick pace and roughly threw the items he was holding into Seongjin’s hands.

Patter!

“Did you tell me about Saint Terbachia? Did I say that you deal with evil energy in a negative way? Then prove it! “Purify all these evil things and show the world their proud ability to destroy evil!”

“… … .”

Seongjin glanced at the statues placed on his palm.

They were pieces of wood the size of two fingers, and at first glance they looked like monsters or dinosaurs.

‘Yeah, I thought it would be like this… … .’

On the day a large demon species appeared, a strange phenomenon was observed where the demonic energy flowing from it was dragged to various parts of the ecliptic.

After searching the place for a long time, what the Paladins found were the unidentified ‘seeds of the devil species’, in other words, these small wooden statues.

I heard that the priests attempted to purify it several times, but it was never destroyed. Dasha carefully informed me that this was information that was handled with utmost secrecy at the Crusade.

But now that I see it, it was worth it.

‘Because these are objects from the normal world. Unless the conditions are met, it cannot be easily eliminated by the power of the original world.’

okay. I had a guess that they would eventually bring this up.

How will they test the power of [Destruction Evil]? Even so-called priests cannot come forward and summon demons to the ecliptic.

Even if it were possible, the demon would not be able to withstand the grace surrounding the ecliptic the moment it was summoned and would simply disappear.

‘Then you are throwing yourself a task that cannot be succeeded from the beginning. If I really prove my strength, the situation of those who summoned me will be quite difficult.’

As I guessed, not only Benitus but most of the high-ranking priests were staring at us with some strange enthusiasm. It seems that the story was already finished at the Seonghoe line before Seongjin was summoned.

‘Without a doubt, they think I’ll never be able to solve it.’

I couldn’t help but laugh. It wasn’t unexpected, but doesn’t everyone’s intentions seem really transparent?

Ignoring the confident gaze of Cardinal Benitus, Seongjin gently touched one of the statues with his finger.

Ugh-

As soon as he rouses his will, a faint red light appears in Seongjin’s pupils. And soon, as expected, a faint window appeared before his eyes.

?Spinomegalosaurus Summoning Ticket?

?You can summon Spring Valley’s field boss, Spinomegalosaurus, once. Immediately after summoning a dinosaur, the summoning right disappears. If you select destroy, it will be deleted from the item window.

?Physical resistance B. Water resistance B.?

?Monster Grade: B+?

?*Current Northland servers cannot be confirmed.?

The demon species that swept over Bathurst Territory some time ago were ones that followed the laws of the normal world.

I wondered where on earth such a strange dinosaur came from, and it seemed like it was probably created with a summoning ticket like this.

‘You mean you can summon it or destroy it?’

As I was staring at it, as expected, another small selection window appeared next to it.

?Destroy the right to summons??

?Delete/Cancel?

okay. Everyone here may not even be able to guess, but the current Seongjin could really easily destroy these things without lifting a finger.

Is there any other proof method in the world this easy?

?Giganotoallosaurus summoning right?

?Arhinomosasaurus summoning right?

The same was true for all the other pieces of wood.

If you focus your mind, similar explanation windows will appear.

“If it’s too much, you can give up now, Sir Mores. “No one forces a young member of the Holy Family to do anything beyond his or her ability.”

Cardinal Kapran’s relaxed voice was heard from afar.

It may sound like he is gently soothing, but the emotion hidden inside is excitement and joy, hoping that his grandson’s rival will fall like this.

Seongjin raised the corners of his mouth with a grin.

Well, is there any need to hesitate? When the boards are laid out so beautifully, it is natural to walk with ease.

“It would be good to keep this clearly in those two stubborn, distant eyes.”

Seongjin raised his chin arrogantly and declared. Even if you don’t shout at the top of your voice, your clear voice filled with aura resonates all the way to the corners of the conference hall.

“This is the power of the apostle given by the Lord, the miracle of the Lord!”

Seongjin took a glance at his surroundings while holding a statue high –

?Destroy the right to summons??

?*Delete* / Cancel?

Without any hesitation, I pressed the [Delete] button on the selection window that appeared before my eyes.
