I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Alone, wherever I go, I must keep going until the very end.

Ten people

The words spoken so casually by the golden man still echoed in Valyria's mind: those ten children, who made him choose the flower that Reinhardt had plucked.

He is a sinner forever, and will never receive redemption or hope, so...

"Your brother? His anger? Do you hate me? Do you want to punish me? But there is no better punishment for me."

At this moment, Valyria's borrowed handsome face revealed a distorted reality, and his tone suddenly became crazed and ferocious.

This phenomenon should be called the shedding of mental pretense.

That's how it should be, isn't it? The priest Valyria before me has simply removed the mask he's worn for so long.

I doubt anyone else has ever seen the real Valyria Trifa.

But now, the other party really intends to stop hiding it.

Nevertheless, the inconsistency between her appearance and her mind sent chills down Sakurai Hotaru's spine, and... disgusted her.

I don't know what I'm saying, and I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

Although there was no anger or murderous intent, just the sight of them facing each other and staring at each other was nauseating.

Beneath that dazzling golden shell emanated a putrid stench.

The communion chalice is broken.

Hotaru Sakurai's sixth sense led her to this answer.

Or rather, one's true nature was already corrupted from the moment one met the other person, merely maintaining a 'normal' facade.

Horrible—horrible is the twisted nature of Valeria Trifa.

Trying to understand this will lead to being consumed, just like Lisa Brenner.

No, or rather, the same goes for the important people that Sakurai Hotaru cherishes...

"Ughh ...

She understood instantly, but Hotaru Sakurai preferred not to understand. With a scream, she materialized the relic into a red light and rushed toward the scene before her in an illogical way.

At this moment, she was filled with a complex mix of emotions: fear, dread, hatred, resentment, and rejection, all clamoring to eradicate this heretic from her.

clang---!

The deafening sound reverberated, and the impact of light-speed mass truly struck Valyria, whose inner workings had undergone a drastic change.

"Didn't I say it from the beginning? The Holy Grail cannot be destroyed."

With a light laugh, Valyria effortlessly received the attack from the Holy Communion Cup.

This was a full-force attack from Sakurai Hotaru, without the slightest carelessness.

Driven by extreme panic and anger, this attack, though flawed in form, was incredibly powerful and likely intended to be a serious strike.

That being said, but—

"No matter how powerful you are, if you don't reach the level of the two Venerables Skadi and Matilda, you will never be able to destroy this body, let alone judge me."

Valyria was unharmed, once again completely unscathed; the indestructible and immortal Holy Grail would never collapse.

This is the body of a god; only a god could destroy it.

At this moment, quite a few comparable [gods] have appeared, including three Gods of Seeking the Way and three Gods of Domination.

Only they could destroy the Holy Grail, and none of them are here.

"The Holy Grail, what exactly are you...?"

Sakurai Hotaru, locked in a stalemate, held a crimson gold sword and stared through gritted teeth at the twisted man before her.

Upon hearing this, the Holy Communion Cup gave a self-deprecating laugh and replied indifferently, "I'm just a stray dog, this body is merely the end of the weak."

Boom—

Suddenly, Valyria raised her hand and struck Sakurai Hotaru in the abdomen.

"Cough—!"

Her stomach felt like it was churning, and she vomited bile. A seemingly casual palm strike, yet carrying the mass of multiple compressed white dwarfs, slammed into Sakurai Hotaru's body and soul.

Sakurai Hotaru, who was thrown away, did not completely leave the solar system. Rather than saying that the Holy Grail contained its power, it would be more accurate to say that it completely blasted its power into the girl's body, without leaking out even a trace.

"I want to become stronger."

After the Holy Communion Cup deflected Sakurai Hotaru, it didn't even look at her. Instead, its gaze was filled with a dazed and complex mix of emotions as it stared at its own palm. It seemed to be sighing and muttering regretfully to itself, as if addressing no one else:

"I am weak, whether in mind, body, or soul; I am merely a small, boring, and lowly mortal. Why did I lose it? Why couldn't I protect it? Why, why... The answer is self-evident: because of its insignificance."

This was not his body, and he both hated and loved this powerful body, but Valyria also had a good understanding of himself.

At the core of this divine jade body, he was only controlled by a weak and powerless lowly being.

"Humans are born to follow this container (the physical body), and the absolute amount that can be grasped is fixed. My hands can only hold too little, and they are easily crushed by external pressure."

The Eucharist Chalice, spoken with both hatred and sorrow by Valyria, tells its story:

"So what should we do? Use our immaturity as a shield, and what are we discarding? Is this God's will?"

What's wrong with wanting to be powerful? Because they can't protect themselves and are always losing, Valyria desires to have great power.

In the past, he had always seen Reinhard Heydrich as the most powerful and terrifying being in the world, and he wanted to become him and no longer be himself.

As long as... as long as I can protect what I cherish and not lose it again, that's enough.

so---

"No—absolutely not! I won't admit it, I won't let go, I can't accept it at all!"

The chalice's expression turned frenzied and obstinate. It looked down at its hands with fanatical eyes and said urgently, "I want to become stronger. I want a bigger, stronger, indestructible vessel. With it, I can grasp as many times as I want, without needing anyone, and I will never abandon anyone!"

"The strongest thing I know is the complete gold, and the Holy Grail is my curse, to punish myself forever and ever."

Yes, yes, yes, as long as I have this godlike body, I will never lose it again.

To complete one's plan, to seize the miracle of gold, one can save anything one desires to save.

Theresa, this time, this time we will never repeat the loss of our destiny.

P.S.: After that, more content about lotus and gold was released, exceeding the length of a full volume, which was something the author couldn't have predicted. After all, an author can't tolerate flaws that even they can't ignore. There was a lot, but at least it didn't fall apart. After all, the author is the only one still writing *The Day of God's Wrath*, so they can't be careless.........................

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Utter Collapse and Madness, the Tragic Valyria

Why is Father Valyria so insane? Why does he seem to have broken down?

It's not that he looks broken, it's that he was broken from the beginning.

His mental breakdown was only slightly less severe than that of the White Knight Schreiber.

The root of Valyria's madness is also related to their twisted desires.

Before cultivating the Eternal Destruction Technique, he was not an ordinary person, but a superhuman with telepathic abilities.

Valyria's past was both mediocre and tragic.

Valeria aspired to be a priest from a young age and successfully became a priest of the Romanian Orthodox Church.

His achievement was not due to his expertise in the profession. In fact, apart from his extraordinary telepathic abilities, he was quite mediocre in other aspects and had no outstanding talents.

However, despite his unique abilities and hard work, he ultimately achieved a status commensurate with his abilities, which was nothing special.

His life so far has been remarkably ordinary.

However, when it comes to his own motivations, he is indeed different from ordinary people.

After all, they have been deeply influenced by the clergy since childhood, and clergy members take it as their duty to help others. Even if they know in their hearts that this is something they should not do, they still have to do it.

Valyria felt the same way, but deep down he hoped that he himself could be the one to be redeemed, and he earnestly hoped that he could achieve this.

His own world of faith and his love for God represent the shared concepts and values ​​of the largest religious sects in human society.

However, religious differences are actually irrelevant; they are simply prayers to a legendary being who created humankind and an acknowledgment of that being's existence.

Valyria longs to connect with such a world.

But he was self-aware, understanding his own mediocrity, yet also knowing that his uniqueness was heresy.

Aside from their unique abilities, Valyrians are mediocre in every aspect of their human abilities.

On the contrary, his unnecessary ability is unusually prominent, referring to his telepathic ability. It's as if the heavens, by giving him this ability, have nailed down the windows and doors to his other abilities.

His abilities weren't limited to humans; Valyria could also see and hear the thoughts and memories that resided in all things.

However, since the information always comes naturally into one's mind, the power of this ability is far less than the normal range of mind reading.

Valyria struggled to stop these noises and images; he couldn't actively control this force.

In the era in which he was born, probably no one could understand his bizarre state.

Besides the noise and restlessness, what's even more terrifying is the inability to empathize with others about one's unique sense of loneliness.

This alienation, as if placing oneself outside of humanity, is what plunges Valyria into fear.

This pain, originating from the soul, cannot be compared to physical pain; it's like a frog being slowly boiled in water, only prolonging the suffering.

However, he still has faith and is devoted to his faith, hoping to reawaken his sense of being a member of humanity and his real feeling of being human through the largest religion in human society.

God created the world, God loves mankind, and God protects His people from the high heavens. Valyria believes that they are also lambs blessed by the Father in heaven (Mercury and Reiji exchanged a glance and gave each other a knowing, sinister laugh).

He thought, believed, prayed, and begged God in this way.

However, this devout sentiment could not reach the ears of the Heavenly Father, and what he did not realize was that all his actions and thoughts would lead him to an even more hopeless future.

A little thought reveals that the path one takes by relying solely on prayer and faith will ultimately lead to the worst kind of purgatory in the world.

As Rai Zhe once said, religion is a dumping ground for human mental garbage, and also an 'anesthetic' for escaping reality and mistakes.

The happiness of believers is no different from that of a drunkard, and the most fanatical and effective religions in human society have the most pronounced effect on numbing believers.

Lei Zhe's wife is the God of the Bible. He has also personally discussed this matter with Xiao Sheng. After all, she is so powerful that she transcends multiple levels, and her heavenly realm will only expand again.

The little saint once aspired to protect the world and save humanity.
