Chapter 853
<853 – Wronged Child (8)>
Using the grace of some servants blessed with the powers of the Old Gods, the strength of the 24 Main Deities is polluted into the realm of the Old Gods, dragging the entire power of the 24 Main Deities closer to the Man God.
If the plan of the Man’s Representative succeeds, he could become the strongest Apostle with the powers of both the Old Gods and the New Gods, and dare to confront the One and Only God.
As the first heir to all powers in the current Divine Realm, the amount and peak of the grace received essentially surpasses any of the Three Great Evils.
Revolutionary of the Empire.
Director of the Foundation.
Even above him, the Emperor Seonhwang of the Empire.
Even if the strong from the past ages all fall, there was a possibility he could alone rise to the heavens.
However, with the changes of the past, the Man’s Representative’s efforts to corrupt the 24 Main Deities failed.
The Church of Amore, which serves the God of Love Atalaxia, realized the conspiracy of the Man’s Representative and commenced a thorough extermination to prevent the same tragedy from repeating.

The influence of the Man’s Representative decreases by 55%.
23.7% of the Man’s Representative’s spirit has been lost.

━━━
The Man’s Representative, now unable to even be counted among the Three Great Evils.
He has completely fallen behind in the current flow of time.

[New Generation’s Three Great Evils]
Golden Magical Girl Avalon
Dark Empress Masugaki
Dark Princess Oknodie
━━━
The Church of Amore is the leading force driving this flow of time.
They are the ones who brought down the Man’s Representative.
As a veteran player, it’s only natural to feel grateful for those who have done something commendable!
“I’ve received the symbol of goodwill! Should I do something in return for my new friends?”
“If it’s money…”
“Shut up with the nonsense and help with the operations of the church. Without the memories of the past, both the Saintess and the Pope might see the Church of Amore collapse overnight.”
Instructor Olosst analyzed the current situation coolly, unlike the money-hungry Snowville.
Although he enjoys an overwhelming position and glory, if he doesn’t deserve to maintain it, both the Saintess and the Pope could vanish like a mirage.
“Impressive!”
Oknodie positively evaluated the responsible attitude of the newbie.
“Well then, I can’t refuse to help. Please show me the Foundation’s profit and loss statements for the past year!”
The Church of Amore, which was expected to expand greatly and earn enormous profits due to the alterations from the changes of the past, surprisingly found that its scale was almost similar to before the change.
It made a meager profit close to the bottom rank for the 24 Main Deities.
“Why is our church so pathetic?! Could it be because I’m a Saintess?”
“That too!”
“Are you denying it?!”
“Due to putting effort into tracking the Man’s Representative and eliminating his minions, all the money earned from equipment procurement, skill training, and spell development has been completely drained!”
“A secret like that?!”
Just seeing the ledgers reveals it.
The unjust memories experienced in the convent of Atalaxia had instilled immense rage in the remaining Sisters.
They didn’t want to feel the same humiliation again.
They wanted to save those in the same fate.
So they had to become stronger.
Unlike other churches that focused on expanding their influence, the goal of the Church of Amore, dedicated to the annihilation of the Man’s Representative and the destructing of his underlings, actively refrained from spreading their teachings.
The Sisters and Priests who were rescued by the activities of the Church of Amore.
Their parents, acquaintances, and bystanders.
Most people, aside from a few, did not know about the church’s efforts, and there were none who followed it with gratitude and faith.
There were reasons for the church’s lack of significant growth compared to their deeds.
“Moreover, you can tell from the development of assassination defense techniques! You’ve been attacked immensely by assassins, and it seems you could barely protect the existing members!”
The Man’s Representative is no fool.
He knows who interfered with his plan.
He knows how to stop them.
Assassination.
Kill everyone related to the Church of Amore indiscriminately.
Directly.
Using his subordinates.
Hiring assassins with money.
From the Church of Amore’s stance, they cannot accept those who join with half-hearted intentions, so their forces cannot grow.
An organization that cannot expand until each one destroys the other has become the Church of Amore and the underling organization of the Man’s Representative.
Seeing Oknodie, who realized this just from the profit and loss statement, Instructor Olosst felt that the successor to the number one in the underworld was truly remarkable; it was not an exaggeration to say that he is effectively the top dog now.
“The Man’s Representative also possesses the powers of various gods, so simply killing him isn’t the end; it’ll be quite some trouble! Unless we lure out his real body with clear intent, you might be in for centuries of hardship?”
“Haah. So, does that mean Snowville and I will be targeted by the Man’s Representative for our entire lives?”
“Seems so? But, you’ve both become the Saintess and the Pope. It seems beneficial for you two!”
Although money is steadily coming in and they are receiving gratitude and respect, Snowville may not be a wealthy tycoon, but at least she can be showered with love as she had hoped.
“Well, it’s unavoidable. There’s no need to help, but I should be grateful for the pure goodwill of outlining the situation. Thank you, Dark Princess.”
“I had fun hanging out! Let’s meet again!”
“Are you going to hang out again?!”
“Since you’ve become a Saintess, you should join our Saintess Alliance! You are always welcome!”
“Thank you!”
As they warmly bid farewell while Olosst watched from behind, he felt it.
This lady has completely abandoned her dream of becoming a tycoon, focusing instead on her identity as a Saintess.
To be honest, he found himself quite enraptured in his position as a Pope too.
What kind of privileges come with being a Saintess or Pope of a religion?
As expected, he saw the young priestesses and knights who entered the Academy alongside the Saintess.
“Pope, let’s work hard again today to take out the Man’s Representative!”
“This is the syllabus for the classes the Saintess will complete with the Dark Princess! I’ve organized what you should prep for the Saintess starting today!”
“Huh?”
However, when he read the documents handed to him by his subordinates, he couldn’t help but be startled.
This wasn’t a Princess Maker but a Saintess Maker plan, revealing a management scheme for the Saintess that covered every hour, day, week, month, and even an annual plan.
Especially since the person in charge of training was none other than Instructor Olosst himself.
“The more the Saintess hones her grace and receives generous support from other sponsors, the easier our church’s activities become, and naturally, the human casualties decrease. Isn’t the training and education of the Saintess a huge responsibility for the present and future of the church?”
“Indeed. So the alterations from the past have redefined the relationship between Snowville and me.”
Just looking at the documents could tell him.
This is genuinely incredibly tough.
Apologies to Snowville, but a difficult path is now opening for Oknodie and Ishtar, known as the Monsters of Class 981.
“Well, rolling is on the Saintess, not me.”
“Good thing I became Pope.”
With a light heart, Olosst stamped the plan and moved it forward.
“What… What is all this?”
“What you need to resolve today.”
“Where did my tycoon plan go, and why is it just assignments piling up?!”
“Well, an assignment tycoon is still a tycoon.”
“I don’t want toooooo!”
Snowville was happily overwhelmed by her own little wishes coming true, making Instructor Olosst chuckle as if it were someone else’s business.
“Well then, this is the study material for the Pope.”
“What?”
Before him, a pile of documents awaited as well.
Given the volume, it cannot be considered smaller than Snowville’s.
“I’m an instructor before being a Pope. I need to fulfill my duties as an instructor.”
“Oh, don’t worry. Our members from the Church of Amore are taking care of your instructor duties. We will spare no effort in supporting you so that you can devote yourself to the study of the knowledge necessary for the education and the honing of research skills of the Saintess.”
Olosst remembered.
The fact that he had contracted to receive 10% of Snowville’s wealth.
In this altered time, Snowville graciously divided 10% of the tasks, leading to the present task hell without sense.
Moreover, the knowledge required of the instructor is higher than that of those being taught, so Instructor Olosst must work harder than Snowville.
As long as the Man’s Representative exists, this insane schedule continues at least until Snowville graduates two and a half years later.
“…I’ll kill you, Man’s Representative!!!”
“Ohh, indeed, as the Pope of the Church of Amore! No one harbors as much resentment toward the Man’s Representative as you do.”
“We can trust that person and crown them as Pope!”
The anger of a certain instructor, who has lost all semblance of daily life and is now entirely preoccupied with train- ing the Saintess, was highly pleasing to those related to the Church of Amore.
*
“…!”
The Man’s Representative, who had been secretly plotting to resurrect the grounds of the Old Gods, suddenly felt his power diminishing.
Not only his own strength but also the number of the gods he served greatly decreased.
23.7% of his spirit.
11.5% of the Man God.
Certainly not a negligible level of damage.
Even the secretly spread worshipers of the Old Gods and related forces, especially the networks related to the 24 Main Deities, had been mostly swept away.
The Man’s Representative gazed at the Gift Academy located in the midst of the Middle Realm, the heart of the undercurrents, and the sea of spiritual veins.
“…Dark, Princess.”
Once a child who would one day become a significant obstacle to his plans, whom he intended to eliminate while seizing the opportunity of Emperor Seonhwang’s abdication.
Back then, the attempt failed under the protection of the Emperor, but now the Emperor is gone.
The shadowy head of the Wahyhiemhai Foundation that nurtured her has also disappeared.
Having lost two powerful backing forces, now is the time to target the Dark Princess.
“Commencing revenge.”
The shadows of the Man’s Representative scattered into eight branches and faded into the darkness beyond.
