Subscriber of the Gods Episode 262
Episode 262. Pope
Bam-!
The five apostles strongly kicked the ground.
I have been training my body for a long time.
Since Mother Moon desired chaos, the five apostles have spent their entire lives cultivating their strength for that chaos.
There were trials along the way, but there was never defeat.
Within the Dawn Society, there were exactly five. Excluding the four apostles and the Dawn Society leader, there was no one stronger than him.
So I was confident enough.
I thought that as I gained more experience, the position of senior apostle would change.
But now, all those thoughts have been shattered.
“shit.”
I’m being pushed by a single academy teacher. And overwhelmingly so.
It was amazing that he could keep up with his speed, and he even blocked his attacks accurately.
Not only that. I could tell instinctively. That Ethan Wickers was swinging his sword with great ease.
It meant that there was considerable leeway.
‘He’s trying to completely subdue me.’
Are you playing with it?
No, no. Something is different.
‘no way.’
Ethan Wickes saw all of my plans as if he could see the future.
So, do you know the final stage of this plan?
‘This is ridiculous. There’s no way this could have leaked out.’
That’s because this plan was entirely his own.
The original instructions from above were simply to retrieve the two relics.
‘This is a way to secure the soul while placing Tartarus and Waterpia under the feet of the Dawn Meeting.’
The five apostles shook off their thoughts. This was not the time to be deluded. If the other side was to be lax, they would just have to pay the price.
‘You still have one arm left. You can use the last method at the end.’
The five apostles took steps again. If they moved half-heartedly, they would only be fooled.
If your opponent moves with some leeway, you have no choice but to take advantage of that leeway.
“Gaebyeok – Pacheonryeokwon.”
Lightning formed on the fist of the 5th apostle and shot at Ethan at high speed.
“Lightning.”
Ethan smiled faintly.
“You chose wrong.”
Phage crackle-!
Lightning struck Ethan’s sword. As lightning struck the Eternal Frost imbued in the Frost Sword and Thunder Sword, a tremendous flash of light erupted in an instant.
Crunch-!
The two swords crossed and cut off the arm of the fifth apostle.
It sounded like a huge boulder was splitting in half.
“Keuuuuuuuuu-!”
The five apostles, who had never groaned before, groaned deeply.
The speed and power were different. It was clearly the same lightning, but they were overwhelmingly defeated. The five apostles clenched their teeth in extreme pain from their hands frozen by the lightning.
I bit so hard that my molars cracked.
It was one of his signature techniques, the lightning-encircling Thunder Strike. This Thunder Strike was not only destroyed, it was completely rendered powerless.
Shaaaaak-.
The strong cold that seeped into the lightning wound made the five apostles’ breathing stop.
It was fast.
It was so fast.
Ethan’s speed was so overwhelming that it shattered the confidence of the five apostles who had never lost to anyone in speed before.
“shit.”
The five apostles, who felt that their fists were no longer effective, spun around on one leg this time.
The feet are more powerful than the fist.
The thigh muscles that support the weight of bipedal humans make kicks more powerful than punches.
In particular, the thigh muscles of the 5th Apostle, who boasted overwhelming speed, could expand almost twice in an instant.
“Gaebyeok – Yeonhwanpacheongak.”
It was a technique that was said to be so powerful that it could even shatter the sky by chaining together kicks.
“!”
The Pope looked surprised at the power concentrated on the legs of the Five Apostles. The Pope did not know that the Five Apostles, the villains of this incident, were apostles of the Dawn Society.
That’s why I didn’t really know how far the power of the five apostles would go.
In such a situation, it was inevitable that the aura of the five apostles’ cyclical waves would become quite anxious.
However, Ethan seemed determined to cut off the bridge in order to counter the Five Apostles’ Chain Wave Heavenly Sword.
The real problem isn’t Ethan’s plan. When such powerful forces collide, a powerful explosion will occur.
If that much power were to explode here, Waterpia would be swept away.
This meant that if Ethan, who was receiving, made even the slightest mistake, the entire Waterpia could explode.
If that happens, only a very small number of people will barely survive. It is highly likely that the majority of fish people within Waterpia will die.
The Pope looked at Ethan as he was about to intervene.
There is no way Ethan wouldn’t know this fact.
It was a split-second decision. The Pope trusted Ethan.
To be precise, he believed that the good he did would come back to him in the right form.
Qua-.
Shaaaaak-.
Full text.
As the loud noise erupted, everything began to freeze. The waves spread out in all directions, and the loud noise and explosion that followed.
Everything froze in an instant.
To others, it must have seemed as if the legs of the five apostles had suddenly frozen.
But the Pope, who was watching from closest, saw everything.
“ah…….”
It was a very beautiful and high-quality defense.
This one move allowed the Pope to see how high Ethan’s standing was.
Like the five apostles, the frozen Ethan broke the ice and moved.
“I already expected that you would take those people hostage.”
Ethan twisted his body and shook off the stuck ice fragments.
‘This has more aftereffects than I thought after casting it.’
It seemed better not to use it in one-on-many situations, because it would create a vulnerability after it was used.
‘But if you use it well, it can become a finishing move. I never thought it would have this much power.’
The five apostles of the Dawn Meeting were frozen in an instant. Not only that. Everything within range was frozen as well.
‘Mana is no exception.’
The powerful mana that the five apostles were trying to unleash was also frozen, so all of their foolish plans were destroyed.
‘It was an attack that caused a shockwave even if blocked, and caused problems even if avoided.’
So I froze everything and completely blocked the effect.
The five apostles were frozen in their raised position.
It was essentially the end of the situation.
For a moment, the surroundings became quiet.
The Pope looked at Ethan with pleased eyes as he perfectly subdued his enemy.
But Ethan was in a situation where he couldn’t let go of the tension.
The king of Waterpia, who was nearby, also remained silent.
An enemy that had an overwhelming presence against the dwarven elite warriors and the Knights of Pia.
It was only natural to be surprised, since they had defeated such an enemy with far more overwhelming power.
But Ethan didn’t show any particular reaction.
Rather, he continued to be on guard against the frozen five apostles.
‘It’s not over yet. He’s not the type of guy to die easily.’
The apostles are the strongest in the dawn group.
‘The Dawn Society has committed numerous evil deeds at the expense of human lives in order to achieve its goals.’
It’s not like they commit evil deeds for no reason.
‘All of those evil deeds have a clear purpose. For example, my annihilation.’
What is extinction? I just found out about it a while ago, but isn’t it ultimately to create a body fit for the second coming of God?
They have been exchanging something for their lives. That means that the apostles who trample on countless lives have powers that surpass common sense.
‘Especially because they are the ones who have prepared for death in several layers.’
Even the lowest-ranking apostles I had previously faced had required a lot of effort to kill.
As Ethan did not relax, the Pope also became nervous and took a few steps back.
And the Pope is afraid to back down.
Bam-.
The ice surrounding the Five Apostles began to break apart.
“It’s moving… …?”
The King of Waterpia looked surprised. Can he break through that huge ice?
“No, no. Something is different.”
The Pope looked not at the frozen five apostles, but behind them.
The five apostles did not break the ice themselves.
“The shadow… … .”
Wiggle-.
The five apostles stirred.
One of the five apostles had already lost one of his arms due to the frost, and he had completely lost one of his legs in the clash just now. He would not have the strength to move, let alone break through the ice on his own.
In reality, it was not the five apostles who broke the ice, but the shadow that appeared behind him.
Finally, a voice was heard from within the ice.
“Moon Mother… … My God who desires chaos… … .”
Shaaaaah-.
The power of the Moon Mother began to infuse into his body.
Sticky and dark.
At the same time, the huge shadows of the five apostles grew darker.
“Your servant, the agent and guardian of chaos, is here. Grant me strength.”
The shadow soon transformed into a human form, stretched out its giant hand, and spread it over the five apostles. Then it shattered the ice.
As soon as the ice broke, a string-like, sticky aura clung to the bodies of the five apostles. The shadows became like puppeteers moving the five apostles.
The bodies of the five apostles, who were unable to function properly, began to move according to the shadow’s control.
“Ugh!”
Then, it started to emit an enormous amount of pressure. The pressure was so strong that the King of Waterpia, who was far away, couldn’t control his body properly.
Likewise, the fishermen who were watching the situation from a little further away also knelt down on the spot. Some of them even collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily.
‘There’s a way like this.’
There is no choice but to be on guard.
‘It’s gotten a lot stronger than before.’
But that’s okay. It’s actually good. This is a chance to see for sure how much stronger you’ve become.
Ethan added various divine powers.
“Huh.”
Strengthened the entire body with the breath of the immortal hero, and added the tomb of reverse emanation on top of that.
But then.
“It’s unpleasant.”
The Pope’s voice was heard.
He was the only one who could stand between Ethan and the five apostles in this place.
The Pope stepped forward and held out his staff.
“I never thought you would be the ones responsible for this incident.”
The sticky aura emitted by the five apostles.
There is no way that Frederick, the Pope of the Holy Light Church, would not know its power.
Followers of the moon.
It was a glimpse of the unpleasant power possessed by those who do evil according to the doctrine of Mother Moon.
The Pope looked at the five sobbing apostles with an expression that seemed to indicate that he had realized everything.
The prayer he originally used did not give a clear answer.
Because the Goddess of Holy Light wants the people of this land to move according to the laws of this land.
But in this case, there was a very clear answer.
Perfect imitation. Even the Pope was surprised by such a clear answer.
Only when things got to this point did the Pope finally understand the reason for the clear answer.
“Now it all makes sense. This is why the Goddess gave me the answer of perfect imitation.”
The Pope’s eyes were fierce. His voice was calm, but his tone was filled with deep anger.
He looked at the shadows behind the five apostles and sighed deeply.
“There are many gods in the world. However, no god forces sacrifices on those who believe in him. That is why I cannot accept Mother Moon, whom you believe in, as a god.”
Bam-!
As the Pope struck the ground with his staff, divine power spread out around him, creating a hemispherical curtain.
Then a benevolent light came down from the curtain.
The benevolent light soon became a hand and enveloped the five apostles as the great shadow of the Moon Mother had done.
Then the aura-like thread between the five apostles and the shadow disappeared. And soon after, the shadow also disappeared.
“Dust to dust, and ashes to ashes.”
The Pope, who had scattered divine powers, saw Ethan.
“Please, Ethan.”
Ethan nodded and stepped forward.
‘I didn’t know you could get rid of that so easily. Thanks to you, I’ll have less trouble.’
“I will kill you as many times as you want until you die.”
