Overgeared

It was calm. Looking at the clear sky without a single cloud, the battle he suffered last night seemed like a dream.

“I can’t admit it!”

“......”

Grid, who was immersed in his thoughts, heard the commotion and shifted his gaze. The Rebecca Church’s priests were raising their voices.

“You want to close the temples? This can’t be understood!”

In Reinhardt, there were a total of three Rebecca Temples. In order to build the Rebecca Temples, it was necessary to meet the strict conditions of the Vatican. Great efforts were made to build the temples here.

“From the moment the statues of the goddess were erected here and people prayed here, they have already become a part of the goddess! This entire temple! Even the weed that grows within the temple is the private property of the goddess! What right does the Overgeared Kingdom have to close the temples?”

“Taking away the territory of the goddess is to rebel against her and prove that you aren’t her apostle!”

“What? It is the command of the Overgeared King? Hah! His Majesty must’ve been confused by heresy! If you don’t hurry and lead His Majesty onto the right path, then His Majesty will be punished by the gods!”

There was a fierce backlash from the priests of the three temples. They felt the Overgeared Kingdom’s stance of closing the temples was absurd. Yesterday, the 15 members of the Overgeared God Church who used to be elders of the Rebecca Church had told them the truth.

“Goddess Rebecca tried to harm humanity in order to hide the sins of the gods. The goddess of mercy that we believed in and served doesn’t exist.”

“The nature of the gods who attempted to kill us to conceal them turning Archangel Sariel into a great demon for accusing them of sin is completely different from the gods we believe in! We offered prayers to them but what we get in return isn’t salvation and blessings. It is deception and violence. How can we believe in and serve them?”

“The Overgeared God saved Archangel Sariel, who was dying in the mask of a great demon that the gods placed on them, and humanity, who is desperate after seeing the truth...

“We have to serve the Overgeared God in the future.”

The elders tried to persuade the priests of the Rebecca Church. The influence they had as elders were enormous so the Rebecca priests naturally listened to them. However, they soon shook their heads and blocked their ears. From the positions of those who hadn’t directly seen the truth, they could only think that the old priests were collectively dazzled by the demons.

“Ahh! Those who lack faith have been confused by the demon’s whispers and became apostles of evil!”

“It isn’t enough for the Overgeared King to deny the gods. He also sinned by declaring himself a god! This place will soon become a demon’s lair and will be used as an outpost to turn the earth into hell!”

“The elders who should’ve guided the Overgeared King onto the right path have something happen to them... Sigh...”

The Rebecca priests were heartbroken. Many of them wept and wailed while hitting the ground. It was a great shock and sadness that the hundreds of followers who participated in the Drasion expedition, as well as the elders, had abandoned their faith in Goddess Rebecca and worshipped the Overgeared King as a god. The faithful raised both their hands after confirming the actions of the Overgeared Kingdom, who were mobilizing the army to cast them out of the temples.

“We understand... it seems pointless to try and convince you any further so we will leave.”

“Considering our feelings over this period of time, I will give you advice. You should be careful of the difficulties that will come to the kingdom in the future. The heavenly gods won’t let you go as long as the Overgeared King calls himself a god.”
