If you stopped anyone heading from the eastern or northern continent to the southwest, at least 20% were going to Elim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the world’s light extinguished, anxiety had peaked. If quantified, the end would be unknowable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People desired strong power during this frightening time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They needed a Goddess who would protect their families and homes with the strongest force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Goddess that naturally came to mind was none other than the Goddess of War.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>War.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the name symbolizing this era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bad rumors had now almost disappeared, and the excellent aspects of Sion, Garfenn, and the Goddess of War had spread throughout the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These days, a reassessment of the Church of War was active.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Achille watched with a satisfied face as her Saint collected offerings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Isn’t it a bit, excessive……?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it seemed a bit overdone to the Goddess. While a moderate amount would suffice, Kaili deliberately took even a little more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, she skillfully persuaded the believers with all sorts of dazzling rhetoric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had just become a Priestess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her spiritual efficacy was the highest, and the Goddess’s grace upon her was immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The futures or families of believers who came to pray would automatically appear in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she threw out a comment, it would usually hit the mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Kaili didn’t want it, believers came on their own to offer money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Goddess.

Achille decided to trust her own discernment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Elim truly runs well on its own now.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was thanks to Gustein supporting it steadfastly like a pillar. Feeling reassured, Achille delivered an oracle to Kaili.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Priestess. An oracle.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaili threw her head back as if struck by lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wh, why are your eyes rolling back!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It’s for dramatic effect. Now, Goddess. Please give the oracle.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Achille’s heart sank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[What have I brought to Elim?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was truly terrifying. Kaili was a more frightening child than Sion. Left like this, she seemed poised to create a second Holy Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wh, what is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Priestess suddenly……!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People buzzed. They couldn’t hide their confusion. A nun attending to Kaili noticed this and shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It, it’s a revelation from the Goddess! Everyone, bow down and pray!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pre-arranged performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaili was thorough and cunning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Th, this is unbelievable.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Achille was astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My church, is it okay like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, the oracle was delivered. It was the gracious revelation of the Goddess of War to build a new church in Foils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ooh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“May the Goddess of War be with us. Now, everyone, join your voices in praise. Let us sing a song of victory!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Achille rejoiced hearing the believers’ voices.

They were saving the Apostle’s time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the two watched the sailing pirate sailors with solemn eyes, Sion was engrossed in organizing information about the changed world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It’s too chaotic.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a time of rapid change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The information from the Goddess, Foils, and the refugees alone was excessive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the Round Table and Heaven were gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world was divided into 4 factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Evil God faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Imperial faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mage Alliance faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘The Church of War.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If including the Church of Wisdom and Church of Abundance, who formed a weak alliance with the Church of War, it was a scale worth dividing the continent’s major powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Evil God faction vanished in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Whatever they are plotting.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their current action is highly likely to be Loenhaughter’s kidnapping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Why him?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason is unknown. Even Magwen didn’t speak about this.
