Chapter 534 - Emperor of Steel 2 (2/2)

“Zombies are a kind of undead. Even if they were once humans, they are beyond help even with the use of divine power! It makes no sense for God to punish a man and turn a living human into a zombie, and there is no way for a zombie to be turned back into a human!”

Constantine laughed at Keaton’s claim.

“Priest Keaton, you don’t seem to be aware of the greatness of God. Don’t you know that God’s power is what makes us perform miracles? Are you really considering that to be ridiculous?”

“I know about the miracle. But, you who is stained with desire and greed can definitely not do it like the pope.”

Keaton, who was so confident, spoke back to Constantine, “I have been watching your moves for a long time, so I know for sure that there is a reason why you are doing all this. They obviously aren’t real zombies. They should be one of the theatrical actors, all dressed up to help you.”

“Is that what you really think? If you don’t believe me, you can check them for yourself.”

When Constantine stepped out, Keaton approached the wagon with zombies and began to pray.

“Oh Heavenly Father! The child who follows your path is here…”

As he continued to pray, soft divine power began to emanate from his body.

Kiiiiiik!

Kuakk-!

With screams, the zombie that was closest to Keaton turned to ash and disappeared.

Keaton was flustered and shocked at what he witnessed.

“N-no! That can’t be!”

“Oh my, what great actor he was to turn into ash in no time!”

Count Marcus applauded and made fun of Keaton.

Constantine shook his hands and asked him to stop. He looked over at the people, opening his mouth again.

“Now you see, they are real. It is sacred to provide the power of God to the most valued man, and I, his true disciple, will show it to you. Look carefully.”

Constantine pushed aside Keaton, who was still in shock, and reached out to the zombies with his right hand.

A cloudy light began to wrap his hand and spread to the zombies.

However, the zombies, who should’ve turned to ashes and crumble to the floor, gradually began to regain their human complexion!

Their rotten skin was regenerating, and the hair from their head was beginning to grow back again.

It wasn’t just that.

Their broken and twisted vocal cords were being restored instead of their bizarre cries. They were stuttering yet they were able to speak.

“Wh-where am I?”

“Wh-why am I i-in this iron bar…?”

Unlike the confused men, the crowd was full of agitation. It was because something crazy just happened in front of their very eyes.

“A zombie turned back to being a human!”

“Holy! Am I dreaming?”

As people were screaming with shock, Constantine looked at Keaton who was still in daze.

“I know what you are thinking. You think I deceived the people with some trick.”

“…”

“If you are still in doubt, check them yourself.”

At Constantine’s suggestion, Keaton approached the people who had just turned back to being humans and touched them with divine hands.

Flinch.

Surprised by what Keaton did, they stepped back.

However, unlike the thoughts of Keaton, who assumed them to turn into ash, they seemed more vibrant.

It was as if they were getting treated by divine powers.

“I guess it is true. The Undead turned back to humans!”

At Keaton’s words, the people who were still suspicious began to go quiet.

In the crowd, there were those who knelt down to pray to God.

“He is the disciple! The real disciple of God has appeared!”

“Oh, Lord El Kassel, forgive me for my sins!”

Many of those people were placed in the crowd in advance by Count Marcus.

However, there didn’t seem to be a lot who doubted Constantine’s miracle.

“Disciple! Save us from the punishment!”

“I will do anything you say!”

As the shouts began to grow, the dubious crowd began to kneel down one after the other, being swayed by the flow.

Constantine smiled, looking at the wealthy people who were in front of him. Keeping his composure, he spoke, “Those who want salvation, follow me! I will make you the masters of the real kingdom of God!”

At Constantine’s declaration, Count Marcus and his men began to shout.

“Follow the real disciple!”

“Let’s purify the fallen denomination!”

“The witch needs to be pulled out and the Holy Empire needs to be placed on the right path!”

Dozens of words spread quickly.

After a day or so, the word spread inside Bless and all the surrounding areas.

Reina’s reform policy started the new storm of rebellion in the Holy Empire.
