"You are the enemies of the Lord of Salvation, and your existence is a blasphemy against the divine will, so I must fulfill my duty to completely eradicate you from this world, without leaving anyone behind."
"All I have done is not for personal gain... It's all..."

These words, like a bolt from the blue, left the members of the Fischer family and the Dawn Church in shock, speechless. Archibald and several others stared wide-eyed at the Pope, unable to comprehend why this elderly man, who had just given them hope, had transformed into their executioner in the blink of an eye.
Darren sneered, knowing that for the other party, "granting salvation" and "annihilation" probably meant the same thing; for this guy, the greatest salvation for the entire Fischer family might well be... death!
A complex emotion flashed across the face of the Pope of Redemption, but it quickly returned to one of coldness and resolve.
