"We got new orders from Illumina, Your Highness." What could he want now? I could only guess. Our God, Illumina's plans always seemed strange, so I even questioned his intelligence and authority. The messenger then gave me my God's direct words this time. "You must find a way to eliminate the Adventurer's Guild." What an impossible task he wanted me to accomplish. How in the world did he expect me to achieve such a thing? Indeed, the "Light of God" religion stands firmly above every other. However, we do not have enough to eliminate such a vast organization of criminals like the adventurer's guild.
You might consider my judgment wrong, but allow me to elaborate if you analyze everything the adventurer's guild does. It appears more like you're researching a criminal organization instead of a town-saving hub. They post tasks like "Please explore the newly discovered ruins; any loot in there is yours to take with a small commission back to the guild" Or something like "Please help me get rid of these horrible pigs that are eating my crops." Who is to blame, then? In any case, getting rid of that organized criminal mafia will not be easy. I understand where Illumina stands, but do we have that much influence? Isn't he rushing? The cult of the Wind Goddess is still standing strong, if not better than us.
For now, my orders are clear, so I must try and accomplish what my God wants, so pray for me, all believers, in our light of justice.
"Go ahead and contact section IV. I wish to speak with their organization regarding this matter." The messenger nodded, then left the same way he had appeared. He vanished smoothly into the shadows. I never knew how their technique worked, but as long as they don't try and use that cloak to kill me, I will not inquire into their secrets with that out of the way. I might get some time to speak with sister Rosaria. She's becoming quite powerful in the holy magic field. If I didn't have the title of pope, she might have passed my regular heavenly powers already.
With no more time wasted, I walk to the sister's convent, where everyone welcomes me with their usual ovations. Mother Barbara then came to me to ask what I was doing there. I answered truthfully. "I'm here to see Rosaria and her progress." Barbara looked at me and then pointed straight ahead into the meditation area. I had to activate silent walking when going through the area; even someone as influential as me had to follow some rules. I wanted to come to see her progress to praise her, but when I used my unique skill, "Reveal MP aura." I trembled a little. Her aura was way stronger than mine, and it oppressed the presence of every other nun meditating with her.
It was a scary yet reassuring thing. There had never been a female pope, so sister Rosaria could be the strongest pope or the most destructive church weapon as a Valkyrie. As expected, she pulled me into her realm when she noticed my aura. I had been here a few times before, but it felt different this time. "I told you I didn't want to see you again. You are a corrupt, decrepit old man, even if your robes cover you in white. Your soul and Ki are tainted and corrupt." Shesh, I wished she didn't have to say it like that. Even so, I knew she was right. Compared to me. Rosaria's holy powers were all righteous and pure. Maybe that's why she was already stronger than me. As she had no flaws or corruption yet.
"What do you want?" She asked me when I didn't talk back. "I was here to check on you and to tell you about the rule changes I wanted to approve." Rosaria then let off her aura, allowing me to move freely in her realm. "Go on, I will listen to you. Just know that I hate your power aura. It reeks of evil." There she was, insulting me. "I wanted to allow women to become pope." She did not let me finish when she said. "I don't want to become corrupt like you. If being a pope will taint me, I don't wish the position." She was wrong. The position wasn't the problem, but it was me. "Please reconsider, Rosaria. You already have the power and the holiness to be the greatest ever. Being a Valkyrie isn't so glamorous." She then looked annoyed at me, kicking me out of her realm after saying. "You're lying. I can see it in your aura. You're trying to lie to me again. Why can't you ever be honest with me?"
