My anime character is in the infinite flow search and fight

After struggling for a moment, Berian finally mustered up his courage and said...

"The Lord treats everyone equally," Giorno simply repeated.

"The power to choose is always in your own hands, Berlion, it depends on you."

Berrian's gaze was blank, but then, as if he had figured something out, his gaze gradually became firm.

"......I see."

What he understood wasn't important; as long as he was obedient enough, that was enough.

Giorno then made arrangements for him.

"This warrior's name is Geth, he is the strongest warrior among men, stronger than Samson. And this lady's name is Pandey, she is an ancient priestess of Ishtar."

"They will escort you all the way to Jerusalem to fulfill your destiny!"

He introduced his two companions, and as for why the latter was an Ishtar priest—

I don't know, but Pandi himself made that request.

She seemed very pleased with Giorno playing the angel and offered many constructive suggestions.

It really makes one curious about what her profession is.

However, she did subtly warn Giorno not to go too far, since impersonating an angel was quite offensive, but Giorno didn't seem to take it seriously...

"Lord Uriel, where are you going this time?"

Godfrey, standing to the side, asked impatiently. Giorno paused, then said slowly...

“We will go to all parts of the world to gather the Lamb of the Lord together to Jerusalem.”

In fact, they didn't have many people to visit, only four.

King Richard I of England, known as the Lionheart; King Philip II of France, known as the Fox; Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I, known as Redbeard; and Pope Urban III.

They were all figures who would soon initiate and influence the Third Crusade.

Although none of them appeared in the film except for Richard I, there is no doubt that they are an important background element in this world.

Giorno plans to gather them ahead of schedule and head to Jerusalem.

This process will likely take some time, since he can't just arrest them and run away; he has to let them go to Jerusalem on their own.

There are two reasons for doing this.

The first is to see if you can earn reward points and side quests as a result, and the second is to try to see if you can trigger any hidden storylines from the outside.

Giorno remained deeply concerned about what secrets lay hidden behind the Kingdom of Heaven world, which had been elevated to the level of top secret.

Haha, surely it's not like Lionheart will suddenly pull out Excalibur when he gets there!

Berian naturally accepted the angel's appointment without hesitation.

Without wasting any extra time, Giorno and Silver set off immediately, parting ways with their teammates.

In a secluded spot, they chose the two magical brooms Giorno had purchased and floated towards their destination.

Chapter 47: 151. The King and the Angel

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

Giorno and Silver's European tour went very smoothly.

They first went to Prussia to meet Frederick I, the Redbeard, who was known for his iron-fisted military might and extravagant lifestyle.

They had expected to meet a ruthless emperor who remained dignified and unyielding in the face of angels, but...

The truth is that the old and frail Emperor of Shinra was nearly scared to death by Giorno when he saw an angel descend.

As for why, it all started with the Prussian king's strong interest in Italy.

Perhaps because of his fondness for a luxurious lifestyle and cultural heritage, and his desire to make the Holy Roman Empire, which was neither sacred nor Roman nor imperial, great again, Frederick I pursued a long-term policy of aggression against Italy during his reign.

Until 1183, the year before the story begins, Frederick I attacked Italy six times.

Success three times, failure three times

The first instance was when he responded to Pope Eugene III's call to suppress a rebellion in Rome led by a priest named Arnold who sought to abolish papal territories.

This time, he had a legitimate reason to act. After quickly suppressing the uprising, he convened the Council of Roncaglia, representing representatives of various Italian city-states, and declared his absolute rule over Italy. However, the problem was that he had chosen to support a new pope, Victor IV, which seriously damaged the prestige of the Roman Catholic Church.

Oh, right, it was during this incident that, because Victor IV stubbornly refused to crown him Holy Roman Emperor, Redbeard, in a fit of anger, ordered the execution of nearly a thousand priests in Rome. Except for not directly killing the Pope, he basically treated the face of the Roman Catholic Church like a doormat.

After that, he allowed his soldiers to plunder extensively in Italy, which triggered the Second War, in which the city-states of northern Italy formed a group of city-states led by Milan. He won again, but Milan rebelled again in the same year he won, captured his wife, Queen Beatrix I, Countess of Burgundy, and forced her to ride a donkey backwards out of the city.

This insult ignited Frederick I's intense hatred, leading him to invade Italy again the following year. However, this time it wasn't for his wife, but because the newly appointed Pope Alexander III could not tolerate the tyrannical Redbeard. He excommunicated Frederick I and supported the struggle of the city-state alliance.

As a result, he won, and not only won, but also severely humiliated the Milan alliance and the Pope. Then, he not only massacred Milan, but also cut off the heads of prisoners and used them as footballs. Subsequently, he carried out numerous massacres throughout Italy.

This naturally enraged the Italians, leading to the formation of a new "Lombard League" by Italian city-states such as Venice and Verona, which quickly gained the support of the Pope.

Frederick I launched another military campaign, sweeping through the city with unstoppable momentum. This time, he directly breached Rome, set foot on the sacred grounds of the Vatican, forced Pope Alexander III to flee to France, and for the second time trampled on the Vatican, committing numerous acts that could be described as blasphemous on this "heaven on earth."

This also illustrates that the authority of the Papal States at this time had largely declined. None of the surrounding capable nations truly respected the Papacy; it had essentially become a figurehead, much like the Zhou Dynasty emperor. The Crusades and similar events failed to restore the Papacy's greatness.

Frederick I, who had performed so many abstract operations, actually witnessed a real angel descend upon him in the later years of his life.

What do you think he will do?

Frederick I was nearly scared to death before being brought back to his senses by the speechless Giorno.

Then the Holy Roman Emperor, utterly humiliated, knelt on the ground, kissed the instep of the Archangel Uriel, begged for his forgiveness, and offered to give up all his wealth in exchange for a chance to go to heaven.

After a brief moment of silence, Giorno simply went along with the act.

He first angrily denounced Frederick I for attacking the Papal States and for the vile actions of the priests Tutu, and threatened him that after his death he would surely fall into the Seventh Hell and be tormented for eternity by the boiling river of blood.

Not only him, but his wife, his children, and his army all suffered different kinds of hellish torment.

Yes, to increase credibility, Giorno directly plagiarized Dante's description of Hell in "The Divine Comedy".

After all, Western hell is different from Eastern hell. Christian hell has no levels or detailed classifications of eighteen levels of hell and punishments. It was only with Dante's Divine Comedy that hell was differentiated in terms of levels and punishments.

You know what, a hell with levels and punishments sounds more professional than a traditional hell!

Frederick nearly fainted on the spot upon hearing this, especially since Silver had thoughtfully cast a fear spell on him, kindly reinforcing his preconceived notions of hell.

In short, after nearly dying of fright once again, Frederick, now awake, is completely obedient to Giorno and the other man.

So Giorno took the opportunity to make his own request: he wanted Frederick I to lead an expeditionary force composed of as many knights and nobles as possible to Jerusalem.

He only gave Frederick one month, but considering that the straight-line distance from Prussia to Jerusalem is more than 3,000 kilometers, which is about one thirty-sixth of the journey to the West, this request was really unreasonable.

But it was precisely because the request was unreasonable that Frederick was ordered to comply.

Giorno mysteriously said that Frederick would understand once he was on the road. Although Frederick didn't know what he meant, he didn't dare to utter a single word in rebuttal.

The thoughtful Giorno also helped him deal with the unruly electors in his territory, ensuring that Frederick I wouldn't face rebellion from his subordinates because of this sudden, irrational order.

In short, having dealt with the Shinra Emperor, Giorno immediately went to the neighboring Frankish kingdom.

The second person Giorno visited was the French king next door. When he arrived, he realized he had made a mistake. At this time, the French king was still known as Louis VII, the 'young Louis,' not Philip II the 'fox,' whose son would not ascend the throne until next year.

At this time, Louis VII was already a very old man in his sixties, meaning he only had a few months left to live.

Unlike his neighbor, Redbeard, and his son who successfully earned the title of Augustus, Louis VII was a rather mediocre emperor. His most notable achievements were his three marriages and his leadership of the Second Crusade alongside Holy Roman Emperor Conrad III in his youth.

However, this incident alone nearly scared the old man to death.

Although the Second Crusade was far less abstract and sinful than the First and subsequent Crusades, it was still not a glorious war.

Moreover, even setting aside the sins of the Crusaders, they didn't even encounter the 'enemies of God' during this expedition; they were soundly defeated by the Turks in Asia Minor and returned in disarray.

On the one hand, he felt that the Lord had sent an angel to reprimand him for his poor performance, and on the other hand, he heard the angel say that the Crusades were nothing more than Urban II’s arrogant act of using God’s name. This elderly man was so frightened that he almost died on the spot.

It's also thanks to Giorno's Stand ability, which has improved over time, that he can bring back the dead.

Of course, once someone is dead, they are truly dead; Giorno cannot revive them.

But he was able to allow Louis VII to exist as a living dead for a considerable period of time.

Upon waking, Louis VII kowtowed wildly to Giorno, muttering about seeing hell and a bottomless pit, while declaring that they believed whatever the angels said and that he should give the orders.

Giorno, then, won't hold back.

It was essential to send them to Jerusalem, and incidentally, he also asked the French king to send troops, along with Frederick I, to help him besiege Rome and, before his visit, to give the pope a 'stern explanation' of the situation.

Louis VII immediately patted his chest and declared that he would not hesitate to do so. What a joke! Compared to living angels, the Holy See of Rome is utter bullshit!

Having dealt with Louis VII, the only remaining threat was the most famous 'Lionheart', Richard I.

This English king, known for his wisdom, bravery, and courage, was not yet a true king at this time.

At this time, he was still fighting against his father, Henry II, and he wasn't even the real crown prince.

The Plantagenet dynasty can be described as a harmonious family, with Henry II as its founder. Henry II ruled the vast Angevin Empire, which spanned England and western France, and was a powerful ruler.

However, when bestowing titles upon his son Henry the Younger, he was too biased, giving him the title of King of England and control of Anjou, Maine, and Normandy, while Richard only received Aquitaine and Poitou. Geoffrey inherited Brittany, and after the birth of his last son John, he forced his sons to give a portion of their lands to this younger brother.

This was outrageous! So, in 1172, the young Henry, along with his two brothers Richard and Jeffrey, launched a rebellion against Henry II, a war later known as the 'War of No Love'. The three brothers abandoned their father and sought the protection of Louis VII, who lived next door, and eventually rallied a group of nobles, including their own mother, to rebel against their father.

The level of filial piety and parental love is extremely high.

But the war ended in defeat for the sons. The militarily powerful Henry II dealt with his sons and rebellious nobles while also defeating Louis VII, ultimately forcing his sons to cede most of their territory.

This war between father and son did not end there. In 1183, Richard once again raised the banner of rebellion against his father. He was invaded by a coalition of his brothers Henry the Younger and Jeffrey, but they were beaten and driven out by Richard. Henry the Younger also died in the same year.

With the eldest son's death, Richard, the second son, should have inherited the throne. However, Henry II favored his younger son John too much and forced Richard to hand over his lands to John. When Richard refused, Henry released the queen, whom he had imprisoned, and ordered her to accept her son's territory.

Naturally, they launched another war after being rejected. But this time Richard resisted his father's attack and, unsurprisingly, contacted Philip II the following year to defeat Henry II at Balens. Seeing his father's decline, his beloved youngest son, John, also chose not to hesitate to rebel against his father.

She is so filial!

When Giorno arrived in England at this time, this was the scene he saw: fathers beating sons, sons beating mothers, wives beating husbands—a veritable grand spectacle of six kingdoms.

Giorno didn't want to talk; he just found it noisy.

Impersonating an angel, he didn't waste any words. After releasing six or seven 'heavenly fires' over England, he physically forced both sides to calm down.

He didn't want to get involved in the struggle between Henry II and Richard I. Giorno simply explained the reasons and sent them to Jerusalem, and also to give the Italians a good talking-to.

But it seems that the father and his sons misunderstood something.

They seemed to think that 'Uriel' had come to put the Lord to the test, and that the one who first passed the test would be the true King of England.

So they immediately ended their current struggle and began their two-pronged attack with incredible fervor.

Richard I chose to lead his troops directly to Rome to "explain the situation" to the Pope, while Henry II, with his youngest son John, planned to go to Jerusalem to "pay homage to the Pope."

Seeing how hard they were working, Giorno was speechless, but he was also somewhat gratified.

Regardless of the circumstances, being able to stop a war is certainly a meritorious act.

After packing up thoroughly, Giorno and Shirogane flew directly to their hometown in Italy to meet the current Holy See Urban III.

Once he was dealt with, we went straight to Jerusalem, forced them all to come to a meeting, and then quickly completed our mission and left immediately.

However, what made them both happy and unhappy was—

They gained profits.

Moreover, they made a considerable profit.

So generous... they felt like they were about to die.

'Change the fate of Frederick I the Redbeard, earn 7000 reward points and one B-rank side quest!'

'Change the fate of Louis VII and Philip I, and receive 7000 reward points and one B-level side quest!'

'Change the fate of Richard I, Henry II, John I, Joffrey II, and Eleanor of Aquitaine,' and receive 8900 reward points, one B-rank side quest, and two C-rank side quests!'

Generous? Absolutely incredibly generous!

But it was this generosity that made Giorno and Shirogane feel uneasy!

Changing important plot characters does indeed earn reward points, but just how much of a plot would cover almost all the kings in Europe today?

Moreover, the fact that the reward is so generous shows that the 'difficulty' of this storyline is absolutely commensurate with the reward.

If they had overcome hardships and defeated a boss to obtain such great rewards, they would only feel extremely happy.

But just by talking and casting a few spells, he achieved such results...

Are they being executed?
