In the luxurious conference room, everyone sat at the round table, looking solemnly at the Pope and the red ponytail who was nibbling on an apple in boredom.
Or rather, they were looking at the red ponytail more often.
"There may have been some mistakes, but welcome to Romania."
The Pope had returned to normal. Although he glanced at the red ponytail from time to time with some instinctive fear in his eyes, his faith still supported him to continue speaking.
"This time, I invite you …"
"Please wait a moment, Your Holiness."
However, before the Pope could finish his words, a strong man on the other side interrupted him. This man was none other than the Emperor of Germania III, the king who almost married Angelietta. He stared at the red ponytail who was nibbling on an apple with a serious expression.
"Here, I have something to ask this Divine Emissary."
"Huh? What is it? "
The red ponytail glanced at him while nibbling on an apple.
"What do you want?"
"Hmm?"
"Torristine, and Gaul."
Germania III pointed at Angelietta and Tabasa, who was standing silently at the side.
"Now, according to what you said, these two countries have successfully worshiped the god you serve …."
"Oh, let me interrupt."
However, before the Emperor could finish, he was interrupted by the red ponytail.
"I'm not asking their people to believe in my god. After all, it's freedom of religion. We have the freedom to believe in this religion, that religion, and the freedom not to believe in religion, right? It's illegal to force others to believe in religion, and ancestor worship isn't a big deal … "
The red ponytail snorted and glanced at the Pope.
"As long as some people don't lie to themselves."
"Don't you need faith?"
Hearing this, Germania III was quite surprised. The vassals around him also showed surprised expressions. Although there had been rumors circulating in the grapevine for a long time, in their opinion, this red ponytail girl was obviously trying to spread the religion she believed in. But now … it didn't seem to be the case.
"Your faith is worthless to my Lord."
Red Ponytail rolled her eyes.
"To my master, your wealth is like a wasteland. What else do you have? Hmm? Build a statue of a god? Kneel there and pray every day? Isn't it annoying? "
"Uh …"
King III obviously didn't know how to respond to this answer. However, he was an emperor after all, so he quickly coughed.
"Then, I just want to ask one thing. In that case, will you still take action against other countries like what you did to Albion and Gaul?"
That's right. This was the issue that the feudal lords were most concerned about. Albion and Gaul were both famous countries on this continent. As soon as the red ponytail appeared, Albion was destroyed and the king of Gaul was replaced just like that. Under such circumstances, the other countries were also in danger, afraid that the red ponytail would come after them again.
Originally, Germania III wanted to negotiate with the red ponytail about her interests, just like he did with Romania. However, her reaction completely ruined his original plan.
Was this what a real god should be like?
Thinking of this, Germania III glanced at the Romanian Pope unhappily, but the latter just smiled and remained silent.
But in any case, since he couldn't move the other party with benefits, he had to get straight to the point.
Germania III went straight to the point, and the red ponytail answered straightforwardly.
"It's hard to say, but it's possible."
"What … What do you mean?"
"My Lord is the Goddess of Magical Girls."
The red ponytail spread her hands and smiled at the people opposite her, whose expressions suddenly changed because of her words.
"My Lord protects those girls who have special powers but suffer because of them. I believe you should have investigated Tabassa and Anlietta. I don't need to say more. So, if the same thing happens in your country, and there are people like them who pray that I can hear them … I hope you're on your own. "
The faces of the lords changed drastically when they heard this. They, of course, knew the situation of Anlietta and Tabassa like the back of their hands. Although their experiences were indeed pitiful, especially Tabassa, all of them had fought their way through politics. They had seen similar or even worse things, so they didn't think there was anything special about it.
But …
"This is ridiculous!"
Another king couldn't help but speak up.
"Can the suffering of a girl be compared to the suffering of an entire country?"
"Of course not."
The red ponytail answered matter-of-factly.
"How can a mere country compare to the life of a girl? Besides, if a girl with such special powers can only face pain, then it means that the country itself is almost done for. "
"Ugh …"
Hearing this answer, the crowd did not know what to say for a while. The values of the other side were too different from theirs.
"For the Lord, your so-called status, power, glory, wealth, and the like are meaningless. These are far less important than letting those girls live a happy life … Do you understand? I don't care what you think, because the Lord protects those young girls who suffer, so … "
The red ponytail grinned, revealing her sharp little canine teeth.
"You'd better think about it carefully. Don't cause any trouble. It's just a matter of minutes for me to take care of a country."
"…"
This time, no one spoke.
Hearing the warning from the red ponytail, the crowd's hearts were pounding. They looked at each other, not knowing what to say. All of them were kings of various countries. Who didn't have lovers or concubines? Who knew if the children they gave birth to would have some kind of special ability and suffer because of it …
Motherf * cker, if I lose my throne or my kingdom because of this reason, it will be a great humiliation, alright?!
I'll investigate it thoroughly when I get back!
"In that case, let's move on to the next topic."
The Pope, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.
"This time, I called you all here because I have something important to announce."
Having said that, the Pope paused for a moment. He then looked at the people around him and said slowly.
"In fact, this world will soon be destroyed."
"…"
Hearing the Pope's words, the crowd did not seem to react for a while. Only the red ponytail took out a piece of watermelon and took a bite.
"Your Holiness, what do you mean?"
After a few moments, Angelietta asked in disbelief.
"I think you may not know, but soon, this land will fall apart. There will be a situation more serious than the Great Bulge."
"Is what you said true?"
This time around, Tabasa also asked, which was rare for him. The so-called Great Bulge was one of the most terrible disasters on this continent in the past. In fact, just look at Albion. Albion was originally part of this continent, but now, it floated into the sky — all because of that disaster.
"That's right."
The Pope nodded.
"Everyone should know that the wind stones we use are actually the crystallization of elven power. Underneath this continent, there were Wind Stones everywhere. Right now, the amount of Wind Stones under this continent was almost at its limit. In this case, the ground will be lifted into the air.... I think everyone should understand what this means. "
Hearing the Pope's words, everyone fell into deep thought. Of course, they understood. After all, Albion was proof. But that was something that happened a long time ago. So, what would this bulge bring?
The destruction of the country, the destruction of the territory, everything would change.
"How much land will be affected?"
Angelietta suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and asked.
"About half of the land will float into the air. In the next few decades, large uplifts will gradually occur all over the world."
"This …"
Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded. They looked at each other in dismay. They truly did not expect such a thing to happen.
"Then, Your Holiness, since you summoned us here, you must have a solution, right?"
"Yes."
The Pope smiled and nodded.
"The reason I've gathered all of you here is to launch a Holy War."
"Holy War …?"
Hearing this ominous word, everyone was at a loss. The Pope continued to speak.
"Everyone should know that the Elves have occupied our Holy Land. In fact, there are magic devices left by our ancestors to deal with disasters in the Holy Land. As long as we can reach the Holy Land, we can stop the disaster from happening."
"But isn't that equivalent to becoming enemies with the Elves?"
Geerman III immediately said.
"Do you think we can defeat the Elves by joining forces? We're talking about the Elves! "
Hearing the King's words, many people nodded in agreement. The gap between them and the Elves was as big as the gap between a World War II army and a modern army. People feared and feared the Elves because of this gap.
"The ancestors gave us power. In fact, Miss Valliel has already mastered this power, hasn't she?"
Having said that, the Pope looked at Angelietta with a smile. Angelietta immediately understood what he meant.
"Do you mean … the power of nothingness?"
"That's right. The Primordial Ancestor divided his exceedingly great power into four parts. Miss Valliel obtained one of them, and I was honored to obtain the other part …. Furthermore, we have a powerful ally."
While saying that, the Pope looked at the red ponytail who was eating melon next to him.
"Emissary of the gods from another world, can you help us recover the Holy Land?"
Hearing the Pope's words, everyone immediately turned their eyes to the red ponytail. Indeed, if what the girl said just now was true, she would definitely not sit back and do nothing about this crisis.
"Munch, munch, munch."
The red ponytail turned a blind eye to everyone's gazes. She just finished eating the watermelon in her hand and wiped her hands. At this time, Angelietta finally couldn't help but ask.
"Lord Emissary, is what His Majesty said true?"
"Oh, it's only half true," the red ponytail replied casually.
The red ponytail replied casually. Hearing this answer, everyone immediately became nervous.
"What do you mean?"
"He said that the world is facing a crisis. It's also true that there are magic devices in the Holy Land. It's just that he didn't tell you the right way."
"Huh?"
"That so-called magic device … is, in fact, a door."
Speaking of this, the red ponytail narrowed her eyes and stared at the Pope.
"A door?"
"Yes, a door to another world. Do you understand now? Your Pope wants to bring everyone to that world, and then … the disaster of this world will no longer have anything to do with you, right? "
Hearing the red ponytail's answer, everyone was stunned. Even the Pope put away the smile on his face and looked at the red ponytail with a slightly surprised expression.
After a while, he smiled bitterly.
"Could it be … that God is omniscient and omnipotent?"
"Of course. Do you think I'd be fooled by you?"
Before coming here, the red ponytail had naturally investigated the Holy Land with the book, otherwise she wouldn't have come.
"Is what the Lord Emissary said true? Your Majesty? "
At this moment, Marietta immediately regained her senses and looked at the Pope. The Pope nodded.
"Yes."
"But, but this is an invasion!"
"No, this is not an invasion, Your Majesty."
The Pope stood up and raised his hands.
"This is a return."
"… Return?"
"Yes, because that world is the world where our ancestors and ancestors originally lived. That is to say, on the other side of the portal, is the true homeland of our race. "
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
"Burp …"
The red ponytail patted her belly and burped.
