Chapter 321

TL: Zimmings

It was clearly the pope’s voice, but this man looked horribly young.

He had a skin without a single wrinkle with a sharp jawline. It is the image of a young handsome man with friendly eyes.

I hurriedly tried to open the barrier.

However, the blue veins along my wrist were now red.

‘It is a sign of a lack of divine power.’

It was natural for the divine power to run out because three devils were called out throughout the battle.

I clicked my tongue and shouted.

“I can’t let this go!”

As I struggled, he hugged me tightly and whispered softly.

“Shh-, if you struggle like that, you’ll get hurt, Meria.”

It sounded like he was coaxing a child. I would be happy to kill him, but somehow, he was treating me like a very precious person.

And Meria?

There was a being in the human world who knew I was the ancient Meria?

How?

‘The only one that knows my past life is-‘

Just as I was thinking about it, Isaac shouted.

“Leblaine!”

I looked back in surprise.

Not at Isaac, but my mother’s body!

Grgrgr…

It was a very faint sound, but I could feel it. A wave of great power.

I thought involuntarily as I looked at my mother’s trembling body.

‘Why did Mina and the temple attack the tower today?’

Mina said she attacked the tower to stop me from joining hands with it, but now that I think about it, it doesn’t have to be today.

In addition, there is no reason to send Mina with the holy knights and attack the tower.

If Mina had exhausted her divine power, wouldn’t it be obvious that I would win the battle afterwards?

“Why did you attack the tower today?”

The moment I mumbled, the corners of the pope’s lips rose.

“You are a smart person.”

Grgr-!

The sky was distorted, and the light gathered over my mother’s corpse…

A diamond-shaped jewel floated above her body.

As the pope nodded, the holy beast snatched the jewel in its mouth and ran to him.

My mother’s body slumped to the floor.

My pocket heated up, and the amethyst devil’s voice was heard.

[Run…away.]

Then everything seemed slow.

Isaac runs toward me, Henry reaches out for Isaac, and Johann looks back on my mother’s body.

It’s like being alone in a twisted time.

“It’s finally complete, Meria.”

The pope’s voice rang in my ears.

At the same time, as soon as Isaac was about to grab my hand, the pope covered my eyes with one hand.

That’s how I lost consciousness.

Isaac’s face, which was distorted, was my last memory.

***

[…ine.]

[Leblaine!]

I opened my eyes and took a deep breath.

Five men surrounded me in a pure white space.

Baal and Bune, Pur, Chul-soo, and the strategist

They were my devils.

[Oh, dear. You don’t know how shocked I was when I thought you were going to die. When you died, I was about to take your soul in a hurry.]

Boone raised me up with a tearful face.

As always in the space of God, I was a child.

[How…huh?]

The words echoed in my head.

Then I asked them.

[Am I dead?!]

When I shouted, someone appeared among them.

[Serga……]

I muttered and looked around again.

‘As expected, this is God’s space. So what about Neliard?’

Serga said as I put on an anxious expression.

[Thanks to you, people lost faith in Neliard and he became weak. I was able to push him out of my space because I became strong.]

[Then, Neliard has invaded Serga’s space.]

[Yes.]

[But why did I come here again?]

[To protect you from the danger that has come upon you.]

Seeing me with a look that I couldn’t understand, Pur, who had a hasty personality, said.

[Your soul and body have been separated!]

[What?]

[If this continues, you might die, so Serga twisted the laws of the world and brought you into the space of God. To bring your soul back to your body!]

I sighed and covered my mouth.

[Serga, what did the pope do?]

[He is doing everything to cut me off from you.]

[Then…]

[You must find consciousness quickly. So that he no longer distorts your body.]

Is he doing something to my body?

Serga rubbed my eyes.

[Always by your side…you…In the future…]

His voice was distorted.

***

“Ugh!”

I got up to my feet.

Then the strange vines connected to my body fell to the floor.

People in priest’s robes were lined up around me, and I was on a bed.

I was vigilant and tried to grab my etwal.

‘It doesn’t exist.’

Even though I grabbed my neck and looked through my pockets, I couldn’t find it.

“I’ve put away the bad things, Meria.”

It was the pope’s voice.

He appeared through the huge door and smiled at me.

‘What the hell happened? In my previous life, he was an old man.’

Sitting on the bed, he took my hand and said sweetly.

“Only the chosen one could see my true form.”

“Have you been dressing up as an old man until now?”

“Ignorant people tend to reject things that are different from them. Sometimes they are afraid.”

I laughed out loud.

“So? Now you’re going to show your true self because you chose me? Why? I got rid of Mina. Do I look worth using now? What are you going to do with me?”

“Well.”

The pope looked at me with a puzzled expression.

“Where should I begin?”

“From start to finish.”

He looked at me with gentle eyes and said,

“First, Meria didn’t get rid of the child. I helped you get rid of it.”

“……What?”

“Second, I don’t dare to use Meria. How can I use you when the reason for my life is to find you?”

What is this crazy person saying?

I looked at him.

The pope continued, kissing the back of my hand.

“Third, please rest assured. I have no intention of harming you.”

“You’re holding me to something like this when you don’t intend to harm?”

Those vines must have been connected to use me as an experimental tool.

When I looked at him suspiciously, he stroked me on the cheek and said,

“Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t mean to use you as a test subject.”

“Then what?”

“It was meant to completely take Serga from you.”

“……What?”

In an instant, his eyes become red.

“How am I going to see my woman connected to another man?”

It’s ridiculous, so no words come out.

‘The pope has changed.’

He can’t talk like that unless he’s out of his mind.

“…Have you gone crazy?”

“You always have a feisty personality, Meria.”

He really was like a man looking at his lover.

“Then why do you call me Meria! What is it!”

“You saved me.”

“What?”

“You saved me from dying in the back alley and stayed with me until the last minute. Meria, I am the first to hear your name-”

“…….”

“-You bear the blood of the same tribe as your mother.”

If it’s a mother’s tribe, it’s Shayman.

The first humans created by God.

They are born with special power.

They have the power to see the future like my mother, or they can be born with ancient memories like Ivan…….

‘Ancient memory?’

All of a sudden, the previous life that Serga God showed me came to my mind.

[Goddess!]

[My uncle said that he would make a statue of the goddess.]

[I saw it while passing by, and I remember that you needed it!]

The boy I saved when I was Meria.

The child who visited the clinic where the poor were treated every day.

“No way you…”

When the pope saw my pupils shaking, he closed his eyes in joy.

“You did remember.”

“…You were a stalker.”

Hearing my words, the pope stiffened for a moment, and the priests were startled.

I shook off his hand and got up.

“Get me out right now.”

“Meria.”

“Can’t you hear me? Give me my etwal and send me back.”

“There’s nothing I can’t do for Meria, but I can’t do that for you.”

I took a deep breath while holding my back.

So he got up and gently embraced me.

“I have prepared a paradise for you. I’ll give you money, honor, or anything. Even if what you want is the throne, I’ll do it for you.”

“…….”

“My Meria, so please choose me this time-”

Thud!

I pushed my forehead against his forehead, and it sounded like a skull splitting apart.

The priests looked at us as if the world had collapsed.

I twisted my lips and said.

“You’re talking nonsense.”

“What is this… Meria!”

“I have a lover!”

The pope’s expression hardened.
