Side Story 1 (2/2)

Such an action was far erous to the people in this room than simple opposition

“The Origin Faction…? Rejecting our dogma? What nonsense”

“It is likely e for our earlier deployment of the Order”

The Cardinal of the Magisterium openly frowned at the report The report was the saisterium, so it was understandable

The Cardinal of the Eparchia seemed unhappy as well, but that was due to another reason

“And so, as the impact on the other nations?”

“We tried to suppress the news, but it spread quite far Too openly suppressing it would be liable to have the opposite effect, so we cannot help but act cautiously”

“I suppose that cannot be helped either… EEI! So irritating!”

What theover was the infordoher-ups of the Church Froery of dogma – the many years of dishonesty were all made public at once, and the Eparchia were co the distrust from the believers

The Luxiria Theocracy with its se over the other nations due to having the absolute authority of being the ho things another ith this advantage beco unstable, they were liable to lose their superiority in an instant

“For now, I suppose there is nothing we can do but urge the other nations not to join the faction created by Fortera”

“Indeed Let us have the churches in the other nations dom of Fortera will need to be postponed, but I do not suppose we have a choice If the sect spreads, it will becoeable, after all”

Authority gives rise to rights, and rights give rise to authorities With the old roots they have for with their connections should prove to be quite effective

However, when it comes to the number of personnel they can mobilise, I cannot help but say that the Theocracy has the advantage

As long as there is no major incident to overturn this situation, it will be difficult for the Kingdoe

It is because they understand this, that the people gathered here were unhappy, but relatively calm

“It-, It cannot be… Why would Sacred Goddess-sama…?”

One day, a little while after the previous ed

The contents of the revelation included the existence of the Dark God, previously unknown to the Human Race; the “Evil God”, as different to the one known by the Human Race; and the fact that the Hueon in order for her to win the 3-way power struggle between the Gods

Had the revelation been received only by a small minority then it may have been tidied away as lies, but now that the entire Human Race had received the revelation, nobody in this room had the power to make them believe it was false

And at the same time, this also spelt a major dilemma for the Luxiria Theocracy

If one part of Fortera’s claims were confirmed, then it would naturally make people suspect that the rest of the claims were true as well The rest of the clai the corruption of the upper echelons of the Church of Sacred Light It’s very likely that all of the Sacred Goddess’s followers believe that Fortera’s claims were correct

“This is bad At this rate…”

“We ently come up with some countermeasure”

“But even if you say that, what are we to do In this situation, taking a firainst Fortera would likely backfire on us Manouevring against the problem country has been forbidden as well”

“That…”

Hearing the Cardinal of the Papal Board say that, the others in the roo soht would instead heighten suspicion towards them

Even the option of diverting dissatisfaction towards the “Evil God Nation” had been prohibited by none other than the Sacred Goddess herself

“It cannot be helped It seems that we have no choice but to adards to the Forteran claims about the Evil God”

While the room rapped in silence, a voice called out from behind the members of the Papal Board

“But, Your Eminence…”

“Now that Sacred Goddess-sama has affirmed Fortera’s claims, we cannot firmly object Of course, ill deny the other claie even a little”

It was this ht, that had thus far ruled huround, was forced to coed a small, but substantial defeat

I ao, and will use this critical moment to persecute them

The winter had come for the Luxiria Theocracy, that had held its influence for a long, long time

“And that concludes the report”

“Well done Hu hu hu, the Sacred Goddess’ relevation has given us an advantage While they are ethening of our nation, for it is the will of Anri-sama”

“By your will”

“Now then, the co days shall be busy We must not let up on our o ahead”
