At dusk, it is called Changgeng Star.
In Sumerian mythology, it is Ishtar; in Greek mythology, it is Aphrodite; in Eastern mythology, it is called Taibai.
In the Bible, it has a close relationship with Lucifer, or Lucifer, and can almost be said to be its symbol.
However, even though it is called the Bright Star, it is the brightest star in the night sky except for the moon and occupies an important position in mysticism.
But it has never been like this moment, blooming brilliantly in the sky during the day.
“It’s getting brighter…”
Willful, sadistic, reckless, and unruly.
These qualities that should have appeared in Narubalek were gone at this moment.
Her expression only grew more solemn. She stared at the increasingly bright stars and wondered, "Why is Venus shining so brightly at this moment? Furthermore, it's actually getting brighter..."
But soon, the long-standing inheritance and the wisdom brought by his own outstanding abilities allowed Narubalek to know the truth.
It's not that Venus is getting brighter...
Instead, Venus was getting closer and closer to her.
At this moment, Narubalek's expression changed drastically.
"This is an enemy attack. Take out all the relics!"
At this time, not all the personnel were present in the burial facility.
However, peripheral staff, informal members, and church personnel who serve them do exist.
Under Narubalek's long-lasting majesty, the entire burial mechanism now moved like a sophisticated war machine.
only......
In the sky, the bright star is getting closer and closer.
The terrifying cursed power came along with Venus, and the boiling heat in it made the eyes of those who looked directly at it sting.
The blow that once destroyed Mount Ebifu, which even the king of gods feared, was transformed by Russell into a miracle in the Bible at this moment.
In Christianity, there are many cases of using similar legends from other myths for one's own use.
At this moment, the judgment of the church has come.
This bright star is used in the far east, temporarily hiding the sun's brilliance at noon in Western Europe.
The stars come from outer space, passing through the atmosphere at an extremely fast speed. Their scorching brilliance is like sulfur and fire from the sky, and their anger and oppression are like the judgment of Sodom coming again.
From the Far East to Western Europe, this cross-continental attack, assisted by the Babylonian treasure house, is about to come!
Narubalek's expression gradually distorted. She could already feel that the target of this terrifying attack was her!
She is the target of the attack, she is the center of the Venus landing, and she is the one who will be destroyed.
"How can I die here without knowing why?"
A second before Venus set, she seemed to hear a whisper of sadness and anger in a trance.
"How have you fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning?"
This is......
The next second, the revived holy relic suddenly lost its color.
The surging holy power turned to calm at this moment.
All that was left was the original place, a dead silent place covered by lava and flames.
A very deep hole was left where Narubalek was.
At this moment, both the outer world and the inner world witnessed this miracle that should not be revived in modern times.
and......
The clergy of the church, the monarch of the clock tower, the hidden forces that had been monitoring the boundary zone with props, the so-called ancestors of the dead apostles, and all the mysterious forces that had the ability to witness the details of this scene were speechless at this moment because of this miracle.
The first to react was still the church.
After all, this is the center of the church's sphere of influence, and the burial agency gathers almost all the strongest agents.
Therefore, with the special means of communication, the first people to arrive here were people from the church.
Whether it was the Agents, the Eighth Mystery Society, the Inquisition Knights, or the remaining members of the Burial Agency who were somehow unharmed by the attack, everyone who could arrive as quickly as possible gathered here.
"The resurrection of the holy relic has been prevented."
The person who said this was from the Eighth Secret Society.
This organization is a group of special clergy who have been trained specifically to recover hidden holy relics.
Therefore, the moment he arrived at the scene, he noticed that the holy relic that was supposed to be used to defend against this attack and was about to be revived suddenly lost its luster.
"Can you find out who did it?"
The person who said this was a cardinal.
Before higher-level people arrive, he will be the integrator and commander here.
In fact, it was another cardinal from the Burial Church, Noy Theonatore Granfatima, who was supposed to do this.
but......
At this time, no one knew the whereabouts of this other cardinal.
And now, under the command of this cardinal, holy relics that could uncover clues and gain revelations were retrieved.
That is a lampstand.
It is the lampstand that is described in detail in the Book of Exodus.
It is made of pure gold, and its base, lamppost, oil cup, calyx and petals are all made of one piece of pure gold.
Three branches should extend from each side of the lampstand, for a total of six branches. On each branch should be three almond-shaped cups with petals and calyxes...
In addition, you shall make seven lamps for the lampstand and place them on top of it to give light to the area in front of it.
All of this must be made of pure gold; six hundred and eighty pieces of pure gold must be used to make the entire lampstand and its utensils.
And, "mystery" must be added to it.
The lampstand before us is not the original one built in the Book of Exodus, but a replica made by later generations according to the scriptures.
But after a long time, endless prayers, and the use of righteous people, it has achieved miraculous results.
At this moment, the Cardinal devoutly chanted the verse: "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."
"Please enlighten me, what caused this..."
The next moment, the lampstand burst into a light that had never been seen before.
That is a strong light that has never been shone by previous revelations.
At that moment, in the light, a sigh surged.
"How have you fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning?"
The voice was very soft, and every word was extremely faint, but the believers present could hear it clearly.
They looked at each other blankly, already having a bad feeling in their hearts.
And right in the middle of this ruin, a communication device belonging to the burial agency suddenly rang.
"Hello, can you hear me? This is Xiyeer from the Burial Agency, can you hear me?"
24. Overcome all weaknesses
"Xiel? This is the Cathedral Church, and the person you are about to speak with is the Cardinal."
A member of the Eighth Mystical Order, who was still searching for the holy relic, picked it up and tactfully handed it to the Cardinal.
"..."
After taking it from his hand, the cardinal, who had vaguely sensed something, was silent for a while before asking.
"Bow of the Buried Mechanism, I've heard of your name. Perhaps this incident has something to do with you?"
"It's related, isn't it?"
The girl on the other end sounded a little distressed.
"Anyway, it's related to the incident I was asked to investigate. Have you heard of the report submitted by Father Eiri Bunkeri of Misaki City?"
He had not heard of the report, but with just a glance, someone went to get it for him.
"You go on."
"Reports indicate a man named Russell, blessed by the Virgin Mary, is able to perform miracles and easily gain the favor of his followers. The Church and the Burial Authority suspect this may be related to the Akasha Serpent, so they've ordered me to investigate."
Following Hierer's narration, Cardinal Mu's mood became more solemn.
His voice trembled as he offered an incredible guess: "So, this time, the punishment for the Burial Agency and Narubalek was sent from the Far East to Western Europe by Mr. Russell?"
"Yes."
After receiving an affirmative answer, the cardinal understood everything.
Why did it fall that bright star?
Why is the only message we receive through prayer the one sentence that is extended to mean the Son of the Morning, who has fallen from heaven?
Why are those who are destroyed and killed the sinners in the eyes of ordinary people?
After reading the report submitted to him, another question arose in the cardinal's mind.
And why, initially, this Mr. Russell was just having friendly exchanges, but after they sent him to Hier, they brought down such punishment?
that is because--
Even though it is not recorded in the Bible, it has been interpreted by countless righteous people, believers, and theologians, and even depicted in literary works such as Dante's Divine Comedy and Milton's Paradise Lost!
The fallen angel, because he was too arrogant and unwilling to worship the Son of God, led one third of the angels in rebellion.
He recited the words: "I will ascend to heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will sit on the mount of assembly, in the uttermost parts of the north. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will make myself like the Most High."
Then, he was thrown into hell and went to the deepest part of the earth.
arrogant.
Could it be that the church and the burial agency were sanctioned for this very reason?
The cardinal felt something was wrong.
The contact with Xier had been cut off, but the conversation between them just now was not concealed from everyone present at all.
An organization like the Burial Agency, which prioritizes power over faith, is unique in the church.
Faith is the most fundamental thing for the church.
With the help of this model, everyone present has a deep understanding of the Bible and theology.
He was not the only one who could think of or guess the meaning of the conversation just now.
And once you think about...
I couldn't help but think of Russell's possible identity.
I can't help but think of Russell's miracle, after he denounced the church and the burial agency as "degenerate"...
I'm afraid that the psychology of the believers present here is going to be problematic.
In this belief that has lasted for a long time, once it is denied by the faith itself, the consequences will be disastrous.
The Cardinal looked around, and all he saw was—
There was a person who could remain calm even in battle with numerous dead apostles, but at this moment his expression changed drastically.
There are people who are determined to fight against any evil, but at this moment they are at a loss.
There are those who remain steadfast in their faith no matter how much temptation they face, but at this moment they shed helpless tears.
Even those who are greedy, corrupt, hypocritical, and indifferent to faith felt real fear at this moment.
"Please don't speculate on this."
The cardinal knew that he had to step forward to calm this person's heart.
