As a traitor, I should raise the banner of rebellion

Originally, the identity of 'Morikami Makoto' was intended to completely force Morikami Nozomi into despair.

But now it seems that this initial plan has turned into a cage that binds him.

Then, it should be discarded now.

[Thou Art the Son of God] allows [Saint Bartholomew] to transform into another soul binder and copy the other party's abilities at the same time.

In his hands, there are several powerful and terrifying forms.

As long as it can be transformed into those forms, this somewhat weird puppet will not be taken seriously by [Saint Bartholomew].

however--

"The activation of the stigmata has been blocked..." [Saint Bartholomew] showed a somewhat surprised expression.

At the moment when [Thou Art the Son of God] was activated, the kiss mark on [Lika]'s palm emitted a faint light.

The hickey-like mark was reflected in the eyes of [Saint Bartholomew].

At that moment, the [Thou Art the Son of God], which had been operating very smoothly, suddenly came to a halt.

Like a car with rusted and dead bearings.

After rescuing Mako Jingu from [Kaguya-sama's Dream], because the act of "saving relatives" was completed, the outermost seal of [Blood Field], which is the [Judas Ring], was completely destroyed.

This brought two major changes to the [Blood Field]—

First of all, Yuanhui is now able to move the location of the [Blood Field].

Before that, the [XXX]-shaped mark could only remain on Yuanhui's neck.

And now, Yuanhui can transfer the [Blood Field] to the monster it buried.

For example, now.

This is mainly for the improvement of stealth, which is not so critical.

What truly transformed [Blood Field] was actually a new ability that [Blood Field] gained.

Yuanhui called it——【Judas Kiss】.

In the story of the Last Supper, Judas sold the Messiah to the chief priest of Judaism for thirty silver coins.

However, the people who came to arrest the Messiah did not know him, so naturally there was no way to catch him.

So Judah thought of a solution.

He said to the chief priests, "Whoever I kiss is he."

This kiss was the clear evidence of Judah's betrayal.

The ability of [Judas Kiss] is actually very simple, that is -

Special attack against the Bible.

As the direct cause of the Son of God's imprisonment and death, the [Kiss of Judas] has a natural restraining ability for all holy marks.

It can directly suppress the activation of the stigmata.

However, this kind of special attack is not absolute.

Its suppressive power varies depending on Yuanhui's understanding of the ability of its stigmata.

The more clearly Genki knows the stigmata, the more the [Judas Kiss] will suppress them;

The less he understands the holy marks, the less suppressive power the Kiss of Judas has.

Moreover, the current [Judas Kiss] can only suppress one stigma at a time.

Therefore, when he first met Celini, Yuanhui did not use this new ability.

Although she generously told Yuanhui about her abilities, she did so while using them. By the time Yuanhui had finished listening, it was actually a little late.

Secondly, Cellini's [Crown of Thorns] is a counterfeit ability, not the true nature of her stigmata.

If it was the real [Crown of Thorns], Yuanhui could suppress it with [Kiss of Judas].

But if it was a fake, he would need to figure out how she copied this ability.

Otherwise, even if the [Kiss of Judas] could suppress the [Crown of Thorns], it would not be able to last for long.

Maybe just a second or two, or even less?

Yuanhui wasn't so sure.

It was for this reason that Yuan Hui finally chose to be patient for the time being and hide the ability of [Judas Kiss] for the time being.

However, Yuan Hui naturally does not need to be so concerned about [Saint Bartholomew].

Morikami Nozomi has completely discovered the truth about "You are the Son of God", and those words naturally fell into the ears of "Lika" who was hiding in the imaginary space and spying.

[Saint Bartholomew] does not have multiple stigmata like Celina Pedro.

To him, "Thou art the Son of God" is everything to him.

And now...

This holy scar was trembling under the suppression of the [Blood Field] and had no way to respond to the master's request.

[Saint Bartholomew] was, after all, one of the apostles.

After the initial panic, he immediately understood what the kiss mark meant.

Unfortunately.

It's too late!

The doll girl who looked cute but was actually murderous had already appeared in front of him.

He could even feel the existence of death, caressing his neck with its cold hands.

"I don't agree!"

[Saint Bartholomew] obviously could not accept such an outcome.

He has so many powerful forms. As long as he can activate [Thou Art the Son of God], it would only take him a few seconds to kill a monster of Lika's level.

But it’s because of this damn ability!

He stared at the kiss mark on Lika's palm, his eyes full of bloodshot.

"He is clearly just a traitor who betrayed his master. How could he be so favored by her?"

Saint Bartholomew roared hysterically:

"I am the one who respects her the most, believes in her the most, and regards her as everything, but why do her eyes always stay on you!"

"Why!"

"Why!"

At the last moment of his life, St. Bartholomew finally tore off all his disguises and completely vented his jealousy and resentment towards Judas.

The deep hatred that was determined to catch the other party even if it meant going to hell made Morikami Nozomi look at him with awe.

It is simply not something that can be accumulated by a short human voice.

In fact, it is true.

This is the resentment of the First Bartholomew hidden in the holy mark "Thou art the Son of God"!

Bartholomew's family had such a tradition.

For everyone who inherits "Thou art the Son of God", the first person they must imitate must be the First Bartholomew.

This is to inherit the wisdom, knowledge, insights and...

The pain of being beheaded and skinned.

There was also resentment against Judah.

That is why Saint Bartholomew is so distorted compared to other apostles.

What he said to Morikami Nozomi about "monitoring Genki" was actually a lie.

What [Saint Bartholomew] wanted was to wait until the stigmata of Judas was finally completed, and then kill Yuanhui completely and take the stigmata completely into his own hands.

For him, such an action was equivalent to stealing Judah's favor.

"she?"

Hearing this word, Morikami Nozomi's eyes widened and she looked a little surprised.

Before this, St. Bartholomew used "He" to refer to the great being.

But just as the countdown of his life sounded, he replaced 'Him' with 'She'.

The Son of God is... a female?

Well, come to think of it, since He is the will of this planet, it is not wrong for Him to be slightly more maternal.

After all, she is the 'Blue Star Mother'.

"Don't think you win, Judas!" [Saint Bartholomew] still stared at the kiss mark, his eyes full of pain.

“Even if you kill me, this stigmata, and the anger and experience of defeat contained in it, will still be passed on to the next [Saint Bartholomew]!”

"He will inherit my will and come to you!"

Those who possess the ability of "You are the Son of God" are natural assassins.

Being targeted by such an apostle is definitely not something to be happy about.

"I curse you! I curse you to live in fear forever and never get a good night's sleep!"

Rika suddenly stopped.

Her eyes were fixed on Saint Bartholomew, revealing an inexplicable look.

"Don't worry, he won't." Morikami Xi took light steps and walked towards [Saint Bartholomew].

The girl's face was full of smiles, but this expression made [Saint Bartholomew] feel cold from the bottom of his heart.

He suddenly remembered something.

The substitution of [Thou art the Son of God] is perfect, and his identity is recognized by the world.

In other words.

Now he has no way to remove his ability, it seems that he is Morikami Nozomi's...

"because……"

"I am your successor." Morikami Nozomi's hand gradually enlarged in front of Saint Bartholomew.

"Am I right."

"Father?"

1. A New Mark and Another Type of [Crown of Thorns]? (3/)

Saint Bartholomew is dead.

At the moment of his death, a vague shadow emerged from his body.

This is "You are the Son of God".

Normally, at the moment of an apostle's death, the holy marks on his body should automatically appear on other people who have his bloodline.

However, this generation of St. Bartholomew is extremely special.

At the time of his death, his identity was Morikami Nozomi's 'father'.

Then, Morikami Nozomi naturally also meets the conditions for inheriting the stigma of "Thou art the Son of God" and can be chosen as the heir.

[You are the Son of God] glanced at Morikami Nozomi.

Although it was just a vague outline, Morikami seemed to be able to see the hesitation on the other person's face.

Obviously, it was not very willing to let Morikami Nozomi become its master.

[Saint Bartholomew] was an apostle who was filled with deep hatred and jealousy towards Judas.

As his holy mark, "Thou art the Son of God" naturally could not have made a very good impression on Judas.

Nozomi Morikami is a die-hard follower of Genki.
