Chapter 257: The End of the Silver Brigade
Right now, right here.
After the complete demise of the "Skeleton Male".
inherited His power...... A new god called the "Forgiver" was born.
The god of rebellion is not a weak god.
He is the sanctioner of the betrayer and the leader of the enlightened. This means that in the realm of "rebellion", there must be a magical ability that can punish sinners or turn them back to a new one.
In this way, not only could He not be an evil god.
The "Rebel Church" may even have the support of high-level countries.
The ability to detect, stop, and punish betrayers...... For those in power, there is no doubt that it is extremely meaningful. And the ability to bring those who have gone the wrong way back to the right path also determines that the "rebel church" will definitely have a high reputation in the civil and gray fields.
This is a talent that even the Twelve Righteous Gods will recruit.
I don't know what kind of righteous God he will become......
Although he was born from the power of the Buried Granny, it seems that his power is not very similar to that of the Buried Granny, and it is not considered an adjacent realm. The Red Knight's War Realm seems to be compatible with the Resilience Realm, but it doesn't seem to be a good match either.
However, even if the forgiver does not become a subordinate of a righteous god, he will definitely have a very high status.
At least for a moment.
Arthur and Euphemia were indeed intrigued.
All the crew members of the treasure ship "Silver" were assembled under the charm of Selicia. Of course, there is also a part of her body that is hungry...... But in fact, the bigger reason is because of the sense of belonging that "found the same kind".
- These are the people who can perceive their kind when they see their kind.
Everyone on this ship is a failure in life.
All of them had some kind of fervent devotion to them, and then they all failed for some practical reason.
Hidden beneath their gentle, arrogant, and withdrawn appearances...... It's the same inferiority complex.
And now, as the keepers of the Holy Covenant, the first pope of the new gods, there is a high probability that they will be born from them.
It's a real step to the top.
Suppose someone wants to follow the path of the priesthood...... As long as you take one step, it is the end.
Even if it is only a false god pope, the "realm of resistance" controlled by the forgiver can directly give them a high status close to the level of a ruler...... This influence can even transcend borders.
After having this power...... Their wishes, which had been utterly declared unsuccessful, had the chance of being able to do it all over again.
Arthur was about to speak:
"Your Excellency the Forgiver ......"
"βMaster Forgiveness."
But just then, Celicia's voice came and interrupted him.
She stepped forward slowly, her eyes fixed on the Forgiver.
Seeing her speak, Arthur and Euphemia hesitated for a moment, but still kept their mouths shut. Despite the mask, Euphemia's complexion was noticeably pale...... Arthur looked better, but pursed his lips slightly, thinking quietly.
It would not be a bad idea if the captain were to be the pope of the new gods.
At least they can use this huge political influence indirectly......
If it goes well......
But before he could think about it, Celicia's words made them look at them in surprise:
"Do you still have any contact with Grand Duke Winter? I want to see him. β
"-Captain?!"
ββ¦β¦ Lord Selicia? β
Orpheus, who was holding the golden harp, and Lucia, the centaur girl, looked over in astonishment.
More or less, they all know a little about Cecilia's past, especially Lucia...... As a centaur who can see the thread of fate, she is even able to see everything about Celicia "before she became Celisia".
But everyone on board knows that their captain has been trying to search for the "Winterbreaker".
She seems to be deeply in love with her teacher.
It was an overflowing love, like a loyal dog's fanaticism.
It doesn't matter if she's a member of the Icebreakers, or if she's only met the Winterbreaker after he entered the Underworld...... With her feelings for the Winterbreaker alone, there is no doubt that Celicia will become an enemy of the Duchy of Winter.
With her fierce and enthusiastic personality, she did kill some of the spies sent underground by the Duchy of Winter. With the efficiency of the intelligence department of the Duchy of Winter, the "Silver Brigade" should have been on their blacklist long ago.
And now, listen to her......
But you want to take the initiative to see the Grand Duke of Winter?
Isn't this self-defeating?
"I have no intention of competing with you for the Pope."
Celicia glanced at her crew members and replied seriously: "I never thought that what I wanted to pursue in the past is now close at hand......
"There's no way the Lord alone can lie to me, because it's pointless. He made it a condition that I couldn't refuse. If all goes well, I think ...... I'm probably going to quit this trip, friends. β
Celicia said seriously: "If this is really the case...... Arthur, I'll leave this ship to you. β
ββ¦β¦ I don't want to. β
Arthur's face darkened, his monster-like, lava-like eyes staring at Celicia, "That kind of thing, it just makes me not pure enough."
"And, if I could become Pope, I would be disembarking, Captain."
"This opportunity to become Pope must be fought for no matter what."
At this moment, Euphemia, who was wearing an iron mask, looked at the forgiver and said reverently: "If I can't become the Pope, I'm willing to be your follower...... Because I need your magic really, really much. β
"Hey, don't do that......"
Offie smiled bitterly: "Are we going to break up?" β
Miss Centaur on the side kicked her hind hooves uneasily, and did not dare to speak timidly.
Seeing this, strange contradictions erupted within the Silver Brigade.
β but Celicia was not surprised.
What outsiders don't know is.
The Silver Brigade recruits newcomers, not just "looking at the edge".
Their strange rule of "telling a story to give it away" is precisely because of the special needs of the treasure ship "silver".
As a matter of fact.
"Silver" is not so much a treasure ship that can cross the physical barrier and travel to any part of the world.
It is rather a living refuge......
It's a monster that lives by devouring dreams.
In this world, there is no such thing as a fairy tale.
It's like the nightmare of the Spore Mill with the same name.
Beneath the candy skin of fairy tales is wriggling flesh.
"Silver" does devour material around the stop, but it's really just to patch itself. It provides energy for "traveling" and virtualizing itself, and this little soil cannot be used with just the soil you eat...... It is the "dream" of the crew and passengers that drives the "silver".
When someone desperately wants to go somewhere, this living ship from the Void can dive into the Void. These crews, who yearn for something from the bottom of their hearts, but are no longer in a hurry because their dreams are shattered, are charging cans one after another.
Naturally, the captain will also have the power to use the wishes of the crew and passengers as an energy source.
And at the cost of this, the ship will never go to the "destination" with the crew.
