Regressor’s Life After Retirement

—————————————

[Whereabouts of the final puzzle]

“Mister… .”

Lily looked very tired, as if she was tired of wandering around other dimensions and not being able to return to Earth.

“When are we going back to Earth?”

“Hold on a little. “As soon as I find the last gem here, I’ll go back.”

“That sound every day. “How little is it?”

The great man pulled the swollen cheek and then released it.

“It’ll probably be over today.”

“…is it for real this time?”

“That’s right. “If you’re ready, let’s go out.”

“huh!”

The two went out of the barracks together. Immediately the appearance of a large castle came into view.

Holy Kingdom of Arteria.

The walls surrounding ‘Arman’, the capital and also the name of God, had received God’s protection for a long time and were protected by strong divine power.

‘It would be impossible for even a decent dragon to break through that castle wall with force. Wouldn’t it be great if it were an ancient dragon the size of Abraxas…’

But Abraxas wasn’t around right now.

I’m in charge of other important work, so I can’t bring him here.

In the end, once again, Daein had to resolve the matter with Lily alone.

And over the past month, they have been working hard to find the ‘last gem’.

‘I really didn’t have any other intentions.’

As soon as the two people came out, there was a huge cheer from everyone around them.

“Wow!”

“…Tsk.”

In the end, the situation turned out this way because of a few coincidences and it was never what Daein intended.

So….

“Wow!”

“The messenger of Arman has come!”

“Let’s defeat the fallen king and restore Arman’s glory!”

“We will win the temple!”

Daein let out a small sigh as he heard the passionate gazes and shouts of tens of thousands of soldiers coming from all directions.

At that time, there were two people who approached him.

“Arman’s son.”

The thin man bowing deeply was Cardinal Themian, a priest in his mid-40s and famous for being the most religious in the country.

“…We are ready for the holy war.”

The other was a woman with brilliant silver hair. She had a beautiful appearance, but unfortunately her eyes were focused on the sky. She was blind.

“hmm. Thank you for your hard work.”

The great man looked at them and nodded with a serious expression. However, his inner feelings were quite complicated.

‘I did it and now I’m the son of God.’

In this theocratic country, the Pope was the king and representative of God.

But now this country was extremely corrupt.

The Pope was caught up in pleasure and luxury and did not take care of the country, and traitors took over the country and squeezed out the people.

Daein and Lily arrived in this world at a time when its tyranny had reached its peak.

‘I was just wandering around looking for the last God’s Jewel needed to stop Hell Gate…’

While coming here to get information about the last jewel, the two occasionally did ‘good deeds’ just like they did in other worlds. .

The problem was that a subtle halo was flowing from Daein now.

Uuuuuung…!

It was because of the four ‘God’s Gems’ I found over the past few months.

‘Immense divine power. As expected, this person…’

‘The one who receives God’s love…’

The cardinal leading the rebels and the blind saint naturally felt their bodies and minds becoming polite in front of the great man.

It was a ridiculous misunderstanding, but the two had a firm belief.

In fact, Daein didn’t even try to actively resolve people’s misunderstandings.

In order to obtain information, it was better to gain favor from the people here.

‘And somehow…’

He led tens of thousands of rebels and advanced to the capital of the kingdom.

“…It’s a comedy that isn’t really funny.”

Daein looked up at the sky and muttered in Korean.

Even that appearance seemed to the soldiers who participated in the temple as if they were asking God for His will.

The soldiers cried and cried out.

“Son of Arman!”

“We are prepared to sacrifice our lives!”

From the moment Daein appeared on this land, rumors began to spread little by little among the people who had been in despair for a long time.

-Arman sent his son down to save us.

-The day of salvation has finally come.

-Divine punishment will be meted out to the corrupt Pope and treacherous officials!

Cardinal Temian, who heard the rumor, came to visit the great man first, and knelt down and shed tears on the spot.

As the rumor spread, more and more people flocked.

Nobles and soldiers appeared who wanted to ruthlessly oppress the people, and Lily created a flame and scolded them.

After that, while digging up information from an evil nobleman, he rescued a ‘blind saint’ who was imprisoned somewhere

… and the saint came to declare that the great man was ‘Arman’s son’.

‘And the number of followers increased like a snowball…’

They won every battle that took place.

(Daein had some people attacking him, so he just moderately defeated them and chased them away.)

Later, the nobles surrendered on their own, and the number of troops increased.

(…there was no reason to hesitate in bringing information and donations.)

The rumor quickly grew faster than the number of followers.

(Now I couldn’t buy it back, I was just going crazy.)

“Miracles always happen on the way he goes!”

“Let’s kick out the corrupt pope and priests!”

“Arman’s sons and daughters are with us!”

“Wow!”

Son of God.

It was a title earned by a great man just one month after coming to the Holy Kingdom of Arteria.

‘Why does it always happen like this?’

Now, as long as a person walks along, the road opens and people cry and kneel down to pray.

Daein sighed lightly as he looked around at the rebel soldiers who showed their courage at the sight of him.

‘Well, for the sake of the alliance with Earth, it would be better to pretend to be the son of God for a while.’

The Holy Kingdom was famous for having many outstanding priests.

Forming an alliance with them will be of great help in preventing Hell Gate.

okay. Let’s think positively.

‘Find gems and form alliances. ‘See the pheasant and eat its eggs.’

After wandering around the kingdom for a month, I succeeded in finding out where the ‘last jewel’ was.

This is the capital of the kingdom.

They said the Pope was hiding it.

“Cardinal Themian. “Have you heard back from the Pope?”

A day before, the great man sent a letter to the Pope explaining the situation.

-I came from a dimension called Earth, and an unprecedented situation occurred where demon lords invaded.

-If we do not stop the demon lords, they will eventually invade this land after taking over the Earth.

-To stop them, you need the God Jewel you have.

-If you hand over God’s jewels obediently, there will be no bloodshed.

To summarize briefly, that was it.

But Cardinal Themian shook his head.

“I cut off the arms of the soldier I sent as a messenger and sent him back.”

The great man’s brows furrowed.

In the end, it was a rejection.

I wanted to resolve it through dialogue if possible, but…

‘Well, with so many soldiers here, it will be difficult to end it through dialogue.’

Of course, even if I had gone to him and asked politely, the result would have been the same.

The fact that the Pope of this country is a tyrant and trash was famous even in my past life.

‘But I know that the Pope will become a tyrant a few years later… although there are more than one or two things that were advanced in time.’

The great man spoke to the cardinal, shaking off the questions that had been in his mind for a moment.

“Please treat that soldier well. “Please attach the severed arm as well.”

“Already in treatment.”

With the cardinal’s divine power, even a severed limb would be easily healed. The great man nodded and looked back.

Tens of thousands of soldiers were looking at Daein.

Young people who ran away after suffering from the Pope’s long tyranny,

nobles and their soldiers who were oppressed by power,

priests who could not say the right things for fear of excommunication.

Everyone was looking at the Son of God with an expression of great determination.

“It’s such a burden.”

Next to me, Lily sighed. The girl shook her head.

“I can’t live because of you. “You have to do good things in moderation.”

“It’s tricky.”

After lightly feeding Lily some honey chestnuts, the great man spoke to the cardinal and the saint.

“Then we will begin the attack in 10 minutes. Me and the little boy are at the forefront. You two, please neutralize the sacred power of the castle wall.”

“Finally…”

“Yes!”

Emotions of joy appeared on the faces of the two people.

After a while, the rebels began to advance towards the castle.

Daein and Lily took the lead.

“kid. You do it first. “When it becomes weak to your attacks, I will cut it open.”

“Let’s finish it quickly and go home!”

Grumble!

A multi-colored flame rose above Lily’s head and

rustled…

Dozens of swords came out of Daein’s subspace and aimed their swords at the castle gate.

The divine power generated by the cardinal and the priests neutralized the strong divine power shield of the castle wall.

Jeeee… Eeeeee!

The thick shield of divine power was removed, and the bare skin was revealed, and towards the castle gate,

he said, “Little one. now!”

The sparks created by Lily flew away.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!

Half a day was enough for the kingdom’s capital to fall.

***

“How dare you…!”

Pope and king of the Holy Kingdom of Arteria.

Osirius III’s triple-folded chin trembled.

“It’s an excommunication! All of you are excommunicated!”

He pointed a point at the traitors with his thick finger.

However, people who normally would not have made eye contact were now glaring at him with their eyes raised.

“Can’t you show yourself as a pope, even if it’s just for the last time?”

King Osirius shouted with a red face at the cardinal who was looking at him with sad eyes.

“Temian! You ungrateful bastard! “Someone appointed you a cardinal!”

“Arman is the one who brought me here. “My faith in him brought me here.”

Paaaaat-!

Divine power spread out from Cardinal Themian’s body and filled the Great Hall.

In contrast, not even the slightest amount of divine power flowed from the Pope’s body.

“profit! It’s all a scandal! “You will all go to hell and suffer forever!”

They just scream and shake their fat bodies.

There was no one left on the Pope’s side in the Great War.

The moment the castle gate was breached, most of the soldiers fled, and the Holy Knights, who had lost their sacred power, could not fight properly.

The knights who still had some divine power left either put down their swords after much agony or rather sided with the rebels.

The Pope was forcibly removed from his extravagant throne.

He shouted with a half-mad expression.

“I am Arman’s representative and the king of this country! Do you want everyone to go to hell? Have you fallen for the devil’s trick?”

“…I still haven’t come to my senses.”

Wow!

The Pope’s face turned wide.

“How dare you…!”

The blind saint said to the Pope, who was clutching his cheek with a bright red mark in disbelief.

“You are no longer qualified to represent God. “You will fall into the depths of hell and never be saved!”

The saint’s words sounded like a prophecy and a curse.

“Ugh ….”

The pope trembled alone, wrapped in the middle of the glacier.

The great man stepped forward before he completely lost his mind.

“wait for a sec. “I have something to ask.”

“…….”

A black-haired man who is rarely found in the Holy Kingdom of Arteria.

The moment he saw the great man, Pope Osirius trembled as if he had been struck by lightning.

“It’s you! I know who you are! “It’s the devil sent by the devil to destroy me!”

“Oh my. “For someone who goes around trying to stop the devil…”

Daein grumbled as if it was absurd.

He asked the cardinal and the blind saint for permission, then took the pope to a corner.

“You’re the only one who knows where the jewel containing Arman’s power is? “I need that.”

“…….”

The Pope closed his mouth and glared at the great man. The great man quietly began to persuade.

“Can you see the atmosphere now? “People are so anxious to beat you to death.”

“…….”

“If you hand over the jewels, I will guarantee your safety. “I can promise you this in God’s name.”

Of course, the idea was to ensure safety. All you have to do is put them in a prison on Earth.

“Isn’t the rest of my life too precious to die like this? Do you know if you pray to God in repentance and do volunteer work for a long time? Will you let me go to heaven when I die?”

Suddenly the Pope shook his shoulders and laughed.

“Puh-huh….”

It was a very weak laugh, as if air was slowly falling out of a tire.

‘what?’

Daein suddenly had an ominous feeling.

In these cases, his premonitions were almost never wrong.

The Pope said with a desperate expression.

“It’s already late.”

“…what?”

“I don’t have any jewels. “They already took it.”

“What are you talking about? I can’t believe you took it. who?”

At that moment, the whites of the Pope’s eyes disappeared and everything turned black.

Sussut…

At the same time, an ominous magical power suddenly began to be felt in the body of the Pope, who had not felt any divine power at all.

Bulging.

A body that grows abnormally. The limbs twisted and wrapped around the body like a mollusk, and the fingers differentiated into dozens of tentacles.

[In return, I received this power!]

Puff! Pow! Pubububung!

Tentacles pierced the ceiling, destroyed the walls, and grew in all directions. The size of its main body quickly exceeded ten meters.

“The devil!”

“The Pope sold his soul to the devil!”

The surprised soldiers shouted and brandished their weapons.

Cough! Kaga river!

However, most attacks could not even make a scratch.

“…….”

The great man quietly looked at the tentacle monster.

Killing it isn’t that difficult.

Because I’ve hunted a lot of guys stronger than that one.

The problem was the mark engraved on his forehead.

“That is…”

A burning star.

The painfully distorted faces of demons carved into them.

It was a mark of an organization that Daein was familiar with.

“mister. “That…”

Lily came next to the great man and held his hand. The great man nodded quietly.

“That’s right. It’s the mark of Pandemonium.”

Daein’s mind became complicated.
