As a traitor, I should raise the banner of rebellion

If she is chosen to be the new Saint Bartholomew, it means that she will also become Judas's assistant, and even have to work for him...

Regarding this future, [Thou Art the Son of God] feels a little bit resistant.

Morikami Nozomi looked at the blurry shadow with interest, with neither disappointment nor anxiety on her delicate little face.

"Does the stigmata have emotions and the ability to think?"

'I don't know whether this feeling and ability to think comes from the original weirdness or from His reshaping.'

'Or, both?'

[You are the Son of God] and you cannot escape.

because……

As if seeing the reluctance of [You are the Son of God], a crisp yet majestic cold snort suddenly came from the mark on Lika's hand that had turned back into the shape of [XXX].

Now that the fourth seal has been broken, Miss Satan, who was frozen in the icy lake, has gained more freedom.

This cold snort was emitted by the silver-haired dragon girl using the [Blood Field].

After hearing this cold snort, the shadow of [You are the Son of God] flashed, looking frightened.

Now it seems to have just realized what it is facing.

The scenes in his heart in the past reappeared in the mind of [Thou Art the Son of God]. Although they were events from the past who knows how many years ago, the scenes were still vivid.

This is enough to prove how deep its memory of these past events is.

[You are the Son of God] and you dare not look back any more.

After sighing slightly, it ran towards Morikami Nozomi as if accepting its fate, and merged its body with hers.

At that moment, Morikami Nozomi felt as if his whole body was being burned by flames, and his originally fair skin turned blood red in an instant.

It was as if an invisible sharp blade was cutting open her skin, revealing the pink flesh inside, and pouring something cold into it...

But in the next moment, this feeling disappeared quickly.

Not only did the girl's skin return to its fair color, but underneath the skin, a certain crystal clear luster was faintly revealed.

The message "You are the Son of God" flowed through her mind, and Morikami Nozomi immediately understood the use of this stigmata.

Although most of the rules had already been explained by her and [Saint Bartholomew] himself, for example, if one wanted to replace a living person, one would need to make the other person submit to oneself and have the idea that they could never defeat oneself, or touch the other person and then forcibly sacrifice one's life to deprive the other person of his identity.

If you replace the dead, you will need to burn your life continuously as the price of using [Thou art the Son of God].

This price is not actually what "You are the Son of God" requires, but it is the "reward" necessary to change the world.

Just as [Rome City and the World] requires Cellini's blood as the price, [Thou Art the Son of God] uses the currency to change the world, which is the 'lifespan' of its owner.

The speed at which life burns is determined by how much impact the resurrection of the deceased will have on the world.

Makoto Morikami is an ordinary person. He is neither a famous and powerful person nor a powerful spirit binder.

To put it bluntly, he is as insignificant as an ant in this world.

But even so, if he were to be resurrected and use this as a basis to modify the entire world, [Saint Bartholomew] would need to burn through his lifespan at the rate of one year per day.

This shows how much this ability consumes.

The successive generations of Saint Bartholomew would only use this ability in very rare cases, such as to obtain everything from the first generation of Bartholomew, to dig out the truth of ancient times, or to spy on some extremely confidential information.

Of course, the most powerful ability of "You are the Son of God" is to directly replace any human being and gain the other party's abilities.

Including the Soulbinder.

Rather than saying it's replacing, the word 'absorbing' would be more appropriate.

After the opponent's mind surrenders, [Thou art the Son of God] will become like a veil, binding the opponent tightly, and eventually dragging him into the body of [Saint Bartholomew].

After that, [Saint Bartholomew] will be able to take over everything of the opponent, and can switch to those beings that have been "absorbed" into his body at any time.

Of course, although these places can be replaced at any time, the total number is limited -

There are only twelve at most.

The same number as the apostles.

But generally speaking, this is perfectly sufficient.

Almost all soul binders can only bind one monster with one ability.

But as long as Saint Bartholomew wants, the apostle can choose any one of these twelve forms that best suits the current situation and easily defeat the enemy.

Lurk, explore, fight, assist...

[Thou Art the Son of God] can support its master in accomplishing all of the above, and it is as versatile as a Swiss Army knife.

Saint Bartholomew, who holds the slogan "Thou art the Son of God", has gained a great reputation with it and earned the terrifying title of "The Faceless Man".

The only drawback is that these twelve forms cannot be inherited.

Every generation of Saint Bartholomew must start accumulating from scratch.

Oh, right.

There is another drawback, that is, [Thou Art the Son of God] can only maintain one form at the same time, and cannot completely mix several different forms together, it can only borrow a little bit.

It was for this reason that Saint Bartholomew transformed his right hand into the short limb of a Tyrannosaurus Rex and produced and released mushroom toxins from his body.

Among his twelve forms, there is a 'Tyrannosaurus Rex' form and a 'mushroom' form.

The former is also one of his strongest forms.

Because this 'Tyrannosaurus Rex' is a prehistoric soul binder.

...Or, 'Binding the Dragon'?

This is a unique copy that was discovered with the guidance of St. John when the Bartholomew's family traced their roots and searched for ancient history.

The tooth fossil of this "Spirit-Binding Dragon" was carefully kept in the secret room of the Bartholomew family.

After inheriting the stigmata, each generation of [Saint Bartholomew] will first use the stigmata against the original Bartholomew.

And the second time, it is often this prehistoric overlord.

Although it requires an extremely high lifespan as the price (after all, the opponent has been dead for who knows how many tens of thousands of years), the power of this "Binding Spirit Dragon" is worth the price.

Moreover, only with this initial 'one' can there be the subsequent 'two', 'three', 'four' and so on to 'twelve'.

"This is the Apostle?"

After digesting all this information, Morikami Nozomi looked at his hands, slightly dazed.

Although he had long known that the apostles were extremely famous in the other world and that the stigmata were powerful, he was still shocked to find out that they could be so powerful.

At the same time, Morikami Nozomi also warned himself in his heart——

Although the power of the stigma was strong, it did not allow her to mindlessly overthrow everything in the world.

The previous "St. Bartholomew" is a good example.

No matter how powerful your abilities are, you still need a calm and smart brain to assist you.

Otherwise, you will definitely end up following the same fate as Saint Bartholomew.

With such self-reflection, Morikami Nozomi finally calmed down.

She looked in front of her and saw that [Saint Bartholomew] had disappeared.

After he was unable to pay the reward, the world naturally returned to its original state.

Because he died as 'Morikami Makoto'.

So, his body returned to where he was supposed to be.

That is in the coffin that has been buried.

Morikami Nozomi pushed the door open with a sense of loss. Naturally, there was no trace of Morikami Miko in this house.

She is back in prison.

In fact, after Nozomi Morikami became a soul binder, the Sakurajima government contacted her and asked her whether she would release Yoshiko Morikami from prison.

This is also one of the privileges of the Soul Binder.

Originally, they could have avoided even contact, but in addition to killing her husband and the mistress, Morikami Miko also intended to murder Genteru.

In the view of the Sakurajima government, the latter crime is even more serious than the former.

They had recommended that Nozomi Morikami ask Genki about this matter to see if he had forgiven Miko Morikami.

But in the end, Morikami Nozomi didn't tell Genki.

In fact, she has always known that Yuanhui didn't take this matter to heart at all. Even if she asked, he would probably ask Morikami Nozomi whether she had forgiven his mother.

Morikami thought about this question himself, and the answer is -

There is no forgiveness.

No matter what, Miko Morikami needs to pay an 'appropriate' price.

Because she made a mistake.

In the end, she did not ask the Sakurajima government to release her mother, but only asked them to be "fair and strict" and "impartial" when sentencing her mother.

Is this the right approach?

Morikami Nozomi wasn't quite sure.

But this approach makes her feel most comfortable.

After briefly reminiscing about Morikami Miko, Nozomi Morikami looked at Rika who was following behind her.

"Do you need me now, Yuanjun?"

She asked.

The ability [You are the Son of God] requires the capture of certain beings in order to complete its complete form.

But with just basic abilities, it is actually possible to challenge powerful monsters.

Moreover, Yuanhui’s enemy is not just the [Jade-faced, Golden-haired Nine-tailed Fox].

She was also under the control of Cellini Bertholle.

In this situation, Morikami Nozomi can serve as a surprise weapon that neither side expects and can play an extremely effective role when necessary.

Rika nodded to Nozomi Morikami and then extended her hand to her.

When the two hands intersected, Morikami Nozomi felt a slight pain in the palm of his hand.

At the same time, [You are the Son of God] also conveyed to her a feeling of 'fear', 'grievance' and 'anger but not daring to speak'.

The stigma on Lika's palm...

It seems like you took a bite of "Thou Art the Son of God"?

……

……

Nasu County, Tochigi Prefecture.

Although the stigmata was transferred to Rika, Genki still had the power to manipulate her.

The previous [Judas Kiss] was also activated by him remotely.

With the help of the images sent by Rika, Genki cooperated with Morikami Nozomi and successfully killed [Saint Bartholomew], and let Morikami Nozomi inherit [Thou Art the Son of God].

Even Yuan Hui couldn't help but feel excited at this moment.

However, Yuan Hui was still quite surprised that [Blood Field] would take a bite of [You Are the Son of God] when it came into contact with it.

This action was not an instruction from Yuanhui, but a spontaneous act of [Blood Field].

That is to say-

Was this something Satan did on purpose?

Yuan Hui did not have much contact with this silver-haired dragon girl.

But he was almost certain that Satan would never harm him.

And just after the [Blood Field] devoured [Thou Art the Son of God], Yuan Hui suddenly felt a tingling pain in his right shoulder.

He took off his clothes, looked at himself in the mirror in the room, and found a palm-sized mark there.
