I love time travel the most!

"I!"

"let me!"

"I come!"

"Please let me do it!"

It was clearly a death sentence, yet everyone present was scrambling to get it, because they were all people who had just been resurrected and firmly believed that this would bring them the favor and blessings of the gods.

Suddenly, a servant rushed out.

And this person was none other than the servant who had rushed into the palace to report to him earlier. Before Berrick could react, he grabbed the hand holding the knife and plunged it into his own chest.

"What are you doing? Are you crazy?!"

Berrick cursed in terror.

But the servant revealed a fanatical smile: "Lord Berwick, I... I also want to receive the favor and... blessing of the gods."

With a thud, he fell to the ground.

died.

"Oh dear, you actually killed someone by accident! The goddess will be angry."

"No, no... that's not it! It wasn't me! It was him, he deliberately bumped into me! Please forgive me, Goddess! Please forgive me, Goddess!"

Berrick knelt down in fear and begged for mercy, seemingly now truly believing in the existence of a goddess who would punish him for his past misdeeds.

"Don't be nervous." Kobayashi patted his shoulder, reassuring him, "Today is Missionary Day, the Goddess won't blame you. Besides, it's just death, you can always be resurrected, right?"

"Resurrection..."

As they spoke, the magic circle lit up again, and three seconds later, the servant jumped up, full of energy.

"See, it's that simple."

With a snap of the fingers, a person can be resurrected.

If this isn't a miracle that even gods can perform, then what could possibly be considered a miracle?

To completely win someone over, you have to destroy their worldview in one fell swoop, and then help them rebuild it.

In this way, he will sincerely submit.

Although the drastic measures were too brutal and could easily destroy his mind, the simple, convenient, and quick process was just right for Kobayashi, who was pressed for time.

"So, are you going to join us, or do you want me to have a heart-to-heart talk with you before you join us?"

Kobayashi looked at Berrick with an incredibly kind smile.

6500! My heart is about to escape!!!

P.S.: I anticipated readers asking why he wasn't killed. There are two reasons. 1. Berrick was a minister's spy; his death would alert the minister, while his survival could lull them into a false sense of security and allow him to stab them in the back at a crucial moment. 2. Berrick was a vital pillar in maintaining the church. Although his actions warranted execution, his management skills were decent; otherwise, he wouldn't have deceived the leader. More importantly, no one could replace him at the moment. Also, thank you to [Niya and MinNa] for the generous donation! Thank you, boss! Wishing you a happy and prosperous life!

Chapter 60 Now, let's begin. This place is called the Axis Cult.

Berrick knelt down, completely.

After all, Xiaolin had spoken frankly to him, so he must have been deeply moved and completely convinced.

“Then Berrick, I will now give you your first command: convey these doctrines to the believers.”

"Yes! The goddess's loyal servant will surely accomplish it."

Taking the paper handed to him, Berrick prepared himself to receive the goddess's teachings.

but……

"Anything can be achieved with effort; failure is the world's fault."

"It's okay if you don't want to work hard, just shift the responsibility to others."

Eat and drink whatever you want, because you never know if you'll be able to eat and drink tomorrow.

"Since we're going to fail anyway, we might as well go for it. If we fail, we can just run away."

...You're telling me this is doctrine?!

Berrick wondered if he was seeing things.

Logically, shouldn't these be positive and uplifting quotes that give people hope for the future? But no matter how you look at it, it seems like a loser's declaration of escapism!

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"No, no problem."

Unable to muster even the slightest thought of resistance, he naturally had no objections.

Berrick solemnly put away the teachings, preparing to complete the first task flawlessly.

Just as he was about to leave.

"Wait, there's one more."

Kobayashi pinched his chin, and said hesitantly, "Eris's breasts are padded!"

"what?"

Berrick doubted he had heard correctly.

"There is one more duty of instruction that must be conveyed: Eris's breasts were padded!"

"Uh……"

That's it, this church is beyond saving.

For some reason, Berrick only had this one thought right now.

Xiaolin had no other choice.

Now that the church has converted to worship Aqua, he can't guarantee that the foolish goddess will receive the faith. And that guy is particularly obsessed with the idea that "Eris's breasts are padded," so he thought of passing on this statement to strengthen the connection, as if it were some kind of secret code to reinforce the signal.

That's right!

It was absolutely not a deliberate act of persecuting Eris!

...I hope that gentle and kind goddess won't blame him.

After receiving the assignment, Berrick turned and left.

Xiao Lin looked at the cult leader who was still kneeling devoutly at his feet.

"Okay, now let's talk about you."

It's strange, really.

He thought it would take a lot of effort to subdue the Church of Peace, but he didn't expect that the leader would immediately kneel down upon seeing him.

The whole process was too fast; there was absolutely no sense of accomplishment.

"Why don't you resist a little more?"

"If you're angry, kill me a few more times."

"Tsk."

Of course, Kobayashi couldn't possibly have actually killed him.

However, he was still very curious as to why the other party had submitted so quickly. Surely he couldn't have some kind of domineering aura that made others weak in the knees at first sight.

"Because I foresaw the future."

The cult leader explained, "I received a divine message that someone will come here with the blessings of the gods."

I remembered.

He is a hybrid of a human and a dangerous species, possessing abilities that ordinary people do not have, such as healing wounds and foreseeing the future.

"The gods have descended! Does Lord Kobayashi know how long I've waited for this day?"

A hint of fanaticism appeared in the cult leader's eyes.

For him, clergy were the most tormented because they knew that God did not exist.

They say there is a god, and they force themselves to believe it, but as time goes by, they realize that it is nothing more than a spiritual comfort.

Gods and such do not exist.

……but!

What if one day you find out that there really are gods in the world, and that one of them has actually come down to you?

It's like knowing Santa Claus is a hoax, but what if he actually comes to your bedside with presents?

Joy and excitement!

I couldn't contain my inner madness!

"Ah, thank you for your favor, Goddess! Whether it is faith, life, soul, or anything else I possess, I will always believe in Lady Aqua and am willing to offer her my all!"

The cult leader rushed up and grabbed Xiaolin's shoulder.

He shouted excitedly, "Come! Let us create a wonderful Axis religion, let everyone join the Axis religion, and let everyone hear the teachings of the goddess! Come, join the Axis religion! Let us create a better tomorrow!"

That's it, this church is beyond saving.

For some reason, Kobayashi only has this one thought right now.

He completely overlooked the cult leader's fanaticism towards the gods, never expecting that he was actually a hidden fanatic!

MD, Aqua!

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The church's transformation went smoothly. The leader officially renamed the Anning Church to the Axis Church, citing a divine oracle. With the help and support of Berrick and his associates, the church's followers learned of Aqua's name in just three days.

"Lord Kobayashi, you look very unwell."

"I know, because I can't sleep at all."

Looking at the fanatical believers, Kobayashi couldn't help but wonder if what he was doing was really the right thing to do, and whether his actions might bring disaster to the world.

Every time I dream, I see a group of fanatical believers using various methods to semi-coerce outsiders into joining the religion. After being brainwashed, the new members then recruit others into the religion just like everyone else.

In the end, the art style of the whole world went wrong!
