I am GSD, a sword that explodes stars

Chapter 242: An Excuse for Myself
Alvin chatted with Sosia for a while and learned some information.

I went to the Sky Castle late at night and explained the plan to Skarsa and Spitz.

"I'll go this time. I can also study the demon crystal more while I'm at it."

When Skarsa heard that someone was needed to go to the Demon Isis dimension to act as a dimensional anchor and protect Daphne at the same time, he directly took the job.

He has been given some opportunities and now needs some time to digest them.

"Row."

Spitz heard it but did not argue.

He had stayed in the extraterritorial demon Isis dimension for a period of time before, and it was enough for him to communicate with that alien dimension counterpart.

Although he didn't mind going over to play because it would allow him to temporarily not worry about the matters of the Lant Dimension, Skarsa took the initiative to suggest going.

It would be enough for one of him and Skarsa to go to stabilize the dimensional flow rate; there was no need for both of them to go together.

After Alvin arranged for Daphne and the others to go to the extraterritorial demon dimension, he set off directly in the middle of the night.

Ivan, Segret, Spitz and Dirigi went to the St. Peter Empire together, intending to see what the situation was like there.

After drinking the instant teleportation potion, the four of them set off simultaneously and instantly arrived at the border area of ​​the St. Peter Empire.

The four of them didn't need to communicate because they already knew who to look for first on this trip.

So Segret, Direji and Spitz followed Ivan's footsteps.

Alvin heard from Sosia about the approximate location of Galandia, so he flew directly in that direction.

The appearances of the four people were disguised, the most important of which was that Ivan's ghost hand was hidden.

There was no major change in the appearance of Spitz, Segret, and the black-robed man in Diriji.

Then Alvin went to the town of Cross mentioned by Sosia.

According to the latest intelligence from players today, Galanthia has already reached this town outside the imperial capital.

When Alvin and others arrived, they saw that one corner of the town was burning with war.

Wearing a gorgeous red and white bishop's robe, holding a holy spear, and exuding a holy aura, Galanthia fluttered her wings and rushed into the sky, heading out of the town.

Seeing this, Alvin followed.

Finally, Galanthia landed next to a tent fire in the wilderness outside the town of Cross.

"You're getting more efficient."

Margaret looked at Galatea who came back without any blood on her body and with a calm expression.

"There are too many termites in the headquarters of the Church of Light. There will be a tough battle tomorrow."

The holy spear in Galanthia's hand turned into light and dissipated. She sat on a wooden stool. In her left hand, there appeared a map of the Empire of St. Peter. In her right hand, she took out a magic pen and wrote some words on it.

If you look closely at the map, you will notice that all the towns on the route to the imperial capital of St. Peter are ticked.

Now the only thing left unchecked is the largest imperial capital.

After half a month, news of her deeds had already spread throughout the Church of Light.

At first, it was fine. She just encountered a few groups of clergy sent by the headquarters of the Church of Light, who wanted to capture her and escort her to the headquarters.

But when they found out that she was not at the level of White Archbishop but Gold Archbishop, they all wanted to persuade her to stop and consider the overall situation.

Galanthia knows that the overall situation is important, but the overall situation she sees is not the same as the overall situation that the Church of Light cares about.

The overall situation in the eyes of those people at the headquarters of the Church of Light is just wealth, status, and the external reputation of the Church of Light.

What Galantia needs to do is to correct the distortion of the Church of Light and prepare for future changes in the Lant Continent. She must not tolerate this distortion to continue to grow.

After this period of cleanup, Galanthia discovered that although the Church of Light in the Lant Dimension had not yet officially entered the completely distorted state of the Angel Dimension, the sins it had bred were even more than those in the Angel Dimension. Human nature is truly a terrible thing.

"Just do it boldly. If you can't stand it, I will take action."

"And Vanessa has returned to the Principality of Stan."

"From her conversation with Daphne Schneider, it seems that Ivan has returned and called on her to go back."

Margaret looked at Galanthia, whose heart was emitting sadness, anger and desire, and did not say anything discouraging, but stood firmly on Galanthia's side as a master.

"Is Mr. Irving back?"

"But I haven't finished cleaning up here yet."

"It seems we need to speed up a bit."

When Galanthia heard Ivan's name, her calm expression showed some ripples, and the sadness in her heart was also dispelled a lot.

"Just follow your original plan. Whether I come back or not will not affect your plan."

"You don't need to give me an explanation specifically. What you want is an explanation for what you decided to do."

At this time, Ivan's voice suddenly sounded in the sky.

Margaret and Galanthia looked up when they heard the sound and saw that Ivan, Segret, Spitz and Dirigi had arrived in the sky at some point.

"Mr. Irving."

When Galanthia saw Ivan appear, she immediately stood up from the wooden block.

"Seeing this hellish country on earth is still too much of a shock for you."

"So let out all the anger, sadness, and disappointment that's built up in your heart."

"This is also a result of this trial."

Ivan sensed Galanthia's extremely unstable emotional fluctuations, put on a kind smile, and spoke softly.

After not seeing Galanthia for half a month, there has been no change in her level.

However, Alvin knew that Galanthia's transformation would naturally change after this matter was successfully concluded and her emotions were comforted and transformed.

When Margaret saw Ivan suddenly appear, she didn't sit down but stood up.

"Well, Mr. Ivan, you already knew the true situation of the Church of Light, so that's why you told me that?"

When Galanthia saw Mr. Ivan appear, she felt relieved and immediately asked about some confusion in her heart.

"When I met you, I didn't know the details of the Church of Light in the Lant Dimension."

"But I know that the angel dimension priests are the only ones in power, so I said that."

"Your vision was still very shallow at that time, and you only saw what others wanted you to see."

"So I have unrealistic and beautiful fantasies about some things in my heart."

"But vision itself depends on one's strength. You can understand it when the time comes."

"If you do not plan to go to the Angel Dimension for further studies, but choose to continue staying in the Principality of Stan and act for the light in your heart, this may be a good choice."

"Because this is not only what the majority of residents of the Principality of Stan want to see, but also what some people within the Church of Light want to see."

"But you finally left the Principality of Stan."

Upon hearing this, Alvin shook his head slightly, his words full of calmness.

Galanthia was sent to a small country like the Principality of Stan to garrison instead of the St. Peter Empire. There must be some considerations of the high-ranking officials of the Church of Light headquarters.
"I think it's good to come out. If I had known this earlier, I would have chosen to come out earlier."

"Although some people have said that when countless people choose to fall into darkness, the rare light will turn into sin."

“But in my opinion this is completely perverse.”

"A clergyman is a clergyman. It is not a profession that pursues excessive selfish desires."

When Galanthia heard this, she thought of everything she saw when she left the Principality of Stan and came to the Empire of St. Peter. Her emotions surged, a cross mark appeared in her eyes, and a smile appeared on her face.

Had she not seen evil in the Principality of Stan?
The night in the Principality of Stan belongs to the lawless. How could she not have seen so many crimes?

However, unless those people have committed certain taboos, the ordinary crimes they have committed will not be dealt with by the Church of Light, but by Queen Freya and the law enforcement team.

She just needs to follow the teachings of the Church of Light and do her job well.

In the Sgri area, although Galanthia basically treats people for free, those who have been treated by her many times will donate some money to the church where she is stationed based on their personal savings.

The vast majority of people in the world understand the principle of repaying kindness.

This spontaneous donation is enough to keep the church where she is stationed well maintained.

Therefore, it is not difficult for Galanthia to abide by the doctrine and do her job well.

As long as money is enough to keep the church running, there is no need to demand too much.

Because God allows them to resolve the suffering in the world to the best of their ability, not to decide whether to resolve suffering based on remuneration.

But all the churches in St. Peter's Empire have decayed.

Not to mention helping others resolve their suffering for free, even if they want to be paid, they will look at the person first and put forward all sorts of immoral conditions before they are willing to help with treatment.

Among them are many clergy who actively create suffering.

In Galandia's opinion, such people are more unforgivable than those underground lawless people.

The garrison bishop of a small town, under the guise of a clergyman, had affairs with hundreds of women of different identities.

With hundreds of millions of gold coins accumulated in his private residence, his heart was filled with lust and greed.

After just a brief inquiry, Galanthia did not want to know how those garrison bishops, who were worse than animals, did it and how they plundered the people's wealth.

She only knew that this garrisoned bishop must die, and the sky of the St. Peter Empire was darker than she had expected.

"Just stick to the teachings and light in your heart."

"You have seen the angel dimension with your own eyes."

"I believe you know the boundary between light and darkness."

Upon hearing this, Ivan nodded slightly, agreeing with Galanthia's decision and actions.

In the eyes of the corrupt clergy of the St. Peter Empire, they would definitely think that Galanthia was an outlier.

A paranoid lunatic who has no idea how to judge the situation and adapt.

"Well, thank you, Mr. Irwin."

When Galanthia saw that Mr. Ivan affirmed her without hesitation, the smile on her face became much softer, and the cross in the depths of her eyes quickly disappeared.

During the purge process, Galanthia saw too many things.

Corrupted clergy will find countless excuses to justify the things they have done.

For example, priests are also human beings, and the purpose of becoming a priest is to possess greater strength, a respectable status, and to stand out from the crowd.

But in Galanthia's eyes, the priesthood is a sacred profession, and there is a clear division of what the priests should and can do and what they cannot do.

The lawless will burn, kill and loot. This does not mean they are innocent. It’s just that when the lawless choose to do those things, they will also be burdened with a shameful identity.

In most places, the lawless are ostracized, driven away, or even killed if exposed.

The lawless have their own rules, adventurers have their own rules, and clergy naturally have their own rules.

Compared with other identities, the identity of a clergyman is upright, and it is also a profession that will be respected by countless people as long as one becomes one.

While enjoying the respect of countless people, clergy must fulfill the responsibilities that come with this halo.

If one forgets his duties and makes excuses for things that he should not have done, no matter how good his reasons are, he is not a qualified clergyman.

"Mr. Ivan, are you here just to take a look?"

Margaret saw that Galanthia's mood had calmed down a lot, so she asked.

"I have other things to do here, but I came to see how things are going in Galandia."

Ivan said casually after hearing this.

"Is the time coming again?"

When Galanthia heard that Ivan stopped by to see her, she thought of the large number of players she had seen these days.

"It's hard to say exactly when, but it's definitely coming soon."

Ivan nodded slightly.

"Will the mutation occur in the St. Peter Empire this time?"

Galanthia knew the evil nature of this special group of players.

Basically, once you arrive in a region, a mutation will occur in that region not long after.

None of the cities I have visited so far, including the Principality of Stan, the Thousand Year Snow Mountain, the Dark Elf Kingdom, and the City of God, were spared.

"Well, but don't worry, just do your job well."

"The reorganization of the Church of Light cannot be adjusted quickly in a short period of time."

"Even if you wipe out this empire, the Church of Light in other countries will need time to wait and see."

Ivan sensed the anxiety emanating from Galanthia's heart and spoke.

"Well, if there is anything I can help with, please let me know, Mr. Ivan."

Galanthia realized that she couldn't hide her feelings in front of Mr. Ivan, so she could only calm down and said seriously.

"Will do."

Upon hearing this, Alvin agreed.

"Segret, why did your strength suddenly increase so much?"

Margaret found that she couldn't understand what Ivan and Galatea were talking about, so she simply looked at the other people and immediately noticed that Segret's level had suddenly soared to 130.

How long has it been since she last saw Segrete? No more than a month at most.
But after only a short period of one month, Segret's strength made a huge breakthrough.

"During the process of exploring the dimension, I was lucky enough to get some opportunities."

Segret was filled with joy when he heard this.

"Can such a big breakthrough be achieved with just one fluke?"

"How long have you been in the other dimension?"

Margaret had heard about some things about dimensional travel from an auditorium, but she didn't understand them particularly well.

However, seeing Segret's improvement, her curiosity about dimensional exploration was aroused.

"One day."

Segret did not hide it either, because there was no need to hide such things.

"One day? Do you mean that in one day, you got an opportunity and your strength improved dramatically?"

Margaret was shocked and felt unbelievable when she heard it.

Galanthia also made a major breakthrough, but that was after she had been in the angel dimension for more than half a year.

It is not unacceptable and understandable that one can achieve a great breakthrough in strength through training in the paradise of priests.

But to achieve such a leap in strength in just one day is simply unbelievable.

“It’s incredible, but opportunity is amazing.

"Margaret, when you are free, please go back to the Demon Dimension and tell Addason for me."

"I want to ask him about the origin of the power of darkness."

Segret did not elaborate on what opportunity he had obtained. He was willing to explain it to Margaret in order to meet the abyss demon Edison earlier.

Now that his strength has achieved a breakthrough, his combat power must have also been greatly improved.

But he is not yet able to bring out all the strength currently contained in his body. The two different abilities of light and darkness are very different in nature.

If you want to make full use of it, you either have to spend a lot of time exploring it on your own, or find a strong person in this field to ask for advice.

"It's okay for me to tell you, but even if I want to go back, I have to wait until Galandia's affairs here are resolved."

When Margaret heard that Segret wanted to know things related to the origin of darkness, she immediately agreed to help, although she didn't know why.

In addition to her personal preference, the reason she stayed here is also to cultivate more relationships here, to improve the trust between the two dimensions, and to act as a messenger when needed.

Otherwise, Osri and Aidason would definitely pull her back.

"As long as it can be conveyed, I have no shortage of time."

Seeing that the other party agreed, Segret had no intention of urging him.

"What are those changes that Mr. Ivan and my apprentice Galandia talked about?"

"Is the Lant Dimension going to suffer another disaster soon?"

Margaret glanced at Ivan who was instructing Galanthia, and then looked at Segret.

"You can ask Ivan about this question."

"If he wants to talk, you can listen."

"He doesn't want to talk about it, so there's no point asking us."

Upon hearing this, Segret did not reveal the news.

For some things, they need Ivan's permission to disclose them.

Because when talking about mutations, it involves a special group of players.

"You'll know if you take a closer look."

Ivan knew that Margaret was curious, but he had no intention of revealing it directly.

"Ok."

As soon as Margaret heard this, she knew it was not the time to ask, so she kept her mouth shut.

At this moment, a golden light bloomed in the sky, and a rich holy aura enveloped the sky.

This scene made Alvin move away and lean back.

Upon seeing this, Segret, Diregi and Spitz immediately understood what he meant and decisively made way.

These people are here to look for Galanthia, so there is no need to bother with them for the time being.

As a golden ladder appeared in the sky, an old man wearing a golden priest's uniform, with an old face and many wrinkles, but still a solemn and dignified temperament, walked down the ladder and came to a place a hundred meters away from Galantia.

"Archbishop Markolov Kobas, long time no see."

When Galanthia saw the old man coming, her expression turned calm and she called out.

Before she came to the Principality of Stan to serve as the resident bishop, she had been received by the Archbishop in Gold.

"Golantia Grandoa, I haven't seen you for a few years. You have grown up."

Marklov Kobas put his hands behind his back and looked at Grantia with a kind smile on his face.

In his heart, he was also amazed at the extraordinary talent of this genius, Galanthia.

Not just a 23-year-old archbishop in white, but a 23-year-old archbishop in gold.

This kind of talent and ability is beyond the reach of these old guys.

"No need to say polite words."

"Archbishop Markov, what is your purpose here?"

At this time, Galanthia was also observing Archbishop Markov.

"Not only has his age and strength changed, but his personality has also changed a lot."

"But kid, you need to learn to stop when necessary."

"Sometimes you have to make some concessions in order to live a stable life."

"If you stop now, I can protect you, but if you choose to step into the capital of this empire and go to Brady Cathedral, there will be no turning back."

Seeing Galanthia's decisive attitude, Markov sighed and spoke slowly.

"I don't care whether you archbishops have reached any agreement among yourselves."

"As long as the Church of Light does not return to its normal path and abide by the true teachings."

"Then my purge plan will not stop."

"If you came here just to say this, then go back now."

As Galanthia heard these dissuasions, she became increasingly disappointed.

"I know that your purge this time is only targeting the Church of Light."

"You think those people have tarnished God's will and the reputation of the Church of Light, and are not worthy of being called clergy."

“There’s nothing wrong with that idea.”

"Perhaps you think that you are really only targeting people within the Church of Light, but in fact, the people and things involved are more numerous than you think."

"For a national power like the Empire, which is already at the highest level of national hierarchy."

"The nobles of each country, as well as the more powerful people, will not accept the idea that everyone is equal."

"How to make the clergy with healing abilities provide more meticulous and considerate services to themselves will naturally become something they will try to facilitate."

"Even if it's not the St. Peter Empire, nobles from other empires, kingdoms, and even principalities would think so."

"So as long as a country lasts longer, the means and ideas of winning over the clergy will never disappear."

"After all, most nobles don't have financial worries, so the only things that bother them are birth, aging, sickness and death, which are inevitable for ordinary people in their lifetime."

"So it is normal for a clergyman who possesses unique healing abilities to be tempted and wooed in various ways."

"And if the Church of Light wants to take root in various countries, it also needs to cooperate with these people, so compromise on some things is inevitable."

"And the Church of Light is indeed a superpower that is different from ordinary forces and countries."

"But the number of clergy is limited. Even if we look at every corner of the Lant Continent, the number of people who can truly be called clergy after years of development is only 3200 million."

"Among these 3200 million people, there are only 86 priests who major in healing."

"Eight hundred and sixty thousand priests with super healing abilities are scattered across the major cities, small towns, and villages of the Lant Continent. This number alone is simply not enough to share."

"Dispel the dark haze that endlessly hangs over countless lives."

“So we must develop the mission step by step, tap more talents, and further expand the number of clergy.”

Archbishop Markov in Gold did not leave. Instead, he put his hands behind his back, turned around and looked in the direction of the imperial capital of the St. Peter Empire, and spoke slowly.

"Don't use this bullshit overall view to pressure me."

"The problem with the current Church of Light is not the number of people."

"It's because those clergymen have become corrupt and are unwilling to help the suffering of the people."

"The situation in St. Peter's Empire seems like hell on earth to me, but it's even worse than this environment."

"Beyond the walls of the Church of Light, there are countless people in distress who have lost everything they have and are begging the clergy of the church to save them."

"Those clergy can still stay in the church and enjoy themselves leisurely with peace of mind."

"If we really do as you said, compromise and let this situation continue to develop."

"Let alone the priests who major in healing. There are only 86 of them, which is far from enough. Even if we expand it to 860 million, what will happen?"

"The Church of Light is already large enough now. If it continues to grow, do you really think the situation will develop as you imagined?"

"When one idea prevails and becomes so large that it becomes uncontrollable, the situation will only be worse than it is now."

"I've seen too many people like you who find all kinds of excuses to justify their cowardice these days."

"Don't keep saying that it's for the greater good and don't teach me what is right and what is wrong."

"Go back honestly and fulfill your responsibilities as the Golden Archbishop according to the doctrine."

When Galanthia heard these so-called overall views, the anger in her heart was aroused again and her face turned cold.

"You...you...you are no longer just paranoid. You are already crazy."

Markov's face turned red after being refuted and scolded. He pointed at Galanthia as if he was looking at a madman.

"You still don't want to leave? In that case, let me ask you a question."

"Were you one of the people who acquiesced to Cardinal Brady Schill's actions?"

When Galanthia saw that Archbishop Marklov, who had left a good impression on her, now said that she had gone crazy, she did not take action immediately but instead asked a question.

"I'm not……"

Markov heard this question and the moment he spoke.

Galanthia had teleported in front of him, and the tip of a holy spear bathed in holy light was only two centimeters away from Marklov's neck.

"Think carefully before answering. Acquiescence can be forgiven, but the real murderer cannot be tolerated."

"Perhaps every one of these golden-robed archbishops is extremely precious in your eyes."

"So knowing that what someone is doing is wrong, but not decisively stopping it."

"But in my eyes, the corrupt golden archbishop is the root cause of the current situation."

"So whoever tries to stop me, or whoever lets me find out who among you is the main participant, I will kill him or her."

"The Church of Light does not need corrupt leaders, even if my actions will reduce the Church of Light's sphere of influence."

"But I will definitely correct the gradually distorted doctrines of the Church of Light back onto the right track."

"A church of light that is willing to do something is much better than a church of light that has only numbers but is corrupt and unwilling to do something."

Galanthia's eyes were filled with anger and murderous intent.

Although according to her talent, the path of holiness may not be the best path of cultivation to bring out her talents.

The power of desire that she had recently awakened was her truly outstanding talent, but she had been on the path of a priest since she was a child, and it had been more than ten years now.

The large number of unsightly things she saw during this purge plan could be said to have repeatedly thrown to the ground and rubbed her long-held beliefs.

However, Galanthia always knew that what was wrong was not the beliefs and doctrines she had always believed in, but these priests who were full of lies and excuses.

"Four of the seven golden archbishops, including me, are considered to be tacit consenters."

Markov felt the terrifying pressure brought by Galanthia, and some cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Not decisively stopping it or even condoning it is already considered a form of accomplice."

"I don't have time to thoroughly investigate your character and actions yet."

"After I clear out the St. Peter Empire, I'll have some free time later."

"I will personally make the journey to the headquarters of the Church of Light."

"Then I will examine your actions one by one."

"If I find out that you not only condoned it but also profited from it, committing the sin of blaspheming the name of the clergy, you will also die."

"If you think what I did was wrong, you can use all your means to kill me."

"But for those who attacked me directly, I will not go through the process of examining your crimes."

When Galanthia heard that four of the seven archbishops had acquiesced, there were three people who were mainly guilty of the crime. She put away the Holy Spear, teleported back to Master Margaret, looked at Marklov and gave him a warning.

No wonder Vanessa has always said that Archbishop Brady Hill has big shots as his protection in the headquarters of the Church of Light, three of the seven people, unless he makes a direct decision to cut ties.

Then, before the three golden archbishops suddenly died or reached the end of their lives, no one in the Church of Light would dare to touch Archbishop Brady Hill.

"I may have acquiesced, but I am not the direct beneficiary, so I am not afraid of the day when you will examine me."

"But with your crazy obsession, you better take care of yourself..."

Archbishop Marklov in gold looked at Gloria, who was at level 103 and exuded a cold aura. He stopped trying to persuade her, sighed, and white angel wings grew out from his back. He flapped his wings and flew away quickly.

Before, Marklov thought that Grantia Grandoa was the hope of the Church of Light.

Now it seems that Galanthia is still a kind of hope.

Because he found that he could not refute Galantia's ideas at all.

In the past, for the sake of the so-called overall situation, he condoned some things and allowed the clergy to gradually degenerate. He was indeed looking for various excuses to comfort himself for his incompetence.

However, the hope that Galantia represents now is premised on the fact that Galantia is truly capable of fulfilling the ideals in her heart.

Only by clearing out countless corrupt clergy with one person's strength can new hope be brought to the Church of Light.

This path was very different from what he had originally expected of Galanthia.

"Whether it was right or wrong to send her to the Principality of Stan, we can only get the answer after the outcome of the incident."

Markov left with anticipation and many concerns.

"Golantia, did that old man take care of you before?"

Margaret saw the old man leave and looked at Galanthia and asked.

Judging from what she had seen these days, her apprentice's decisiveness in taking action was no less than those powerful and ruthless warriors.

Galanthia also took direct action to deal with many priests who tried to use various excuses to prove that they were not wrong.

But when facing Markov, Galanthia was actually willing to argue with him and eventually let him go.

"When I was considering which country or region to go to for garrison."

"Archbishop Markov received me."

"He personally assigned me to a place that I could not choose directly, which is the Sgri region of the Principality of Stan."

When Galanthia heard this question, her eyes looked a little complicated.

If it weren't for this reason, she probably wouldn't have let him leave alive.

Judging from the recommended garrison areas, Archbishop Marklov Kobas had deceived her, but he also indirectly protected her.

This allowed her to grow up safely and securely in the Sgri area of ​​the Principality of Stan, and completely strengthened the ideals she held in her heart.

What's more, she accidentally met Mr. Irving, the man who completely changed her destiny.

However, even with this favor, if it was Archbishop Marklov Iles, he was not the one who condoned it but was one of the masterminds.

Galanthia will also practice her beliefs without hesitation.

The Lant dimension needs priests who adhere to the correct doctrines and dare to act.

Rather than the current corrupt clergy who distort ideas, weigh the pros and cons, and are timid and unwilling to act.

Because Galanthia heard from Vanessa that it was in a place called the Extraterritorial Demon Isis Dimension.

The extremely powerful Dark Elf Kingdom sent out all its elite troops above level 90 because of a mutation, but even so it failed to stop the mutation.

They can only live in anxiety, waiting for death due to the spread of the mutation.

Therefore, Galanthia knew clearly that in order to deal with mutations, which were more terrible than natural disasters and man-made disasters, the more allies that could be gathered, the better.
