"He is kind, he is great, he saves the world!" Kotomine Li retorted excitedly.

"And our powers and miracles are useless in the face of the Lord! Father Andrewson, don't you see this?"

"The baptismal chant is a miracle bestowed upon us by the Lord, but the Lord is not the only one in this world who can ignore miracles." Beside Andrewson, Liz, the leader of the Knights of the Inquisition, stepped forward and said in a deep voice...

This girl, dressed in silver heavy armor and holding a violin-shaped spear and shield, is the youngest leader of the Knights Templar. She is known as the "Saint of the Fortress", the "Knight of the Holy Shield", and the "Mediator of Music and Law".

As a believer among believers, he is also the favorite of Cardinal Geselbarune. Although he has a lazy personality, his faith is absolutely unquestionable!

Following the orders of his adoptive father to fight against this hypocritical idol was not only because it was the cardinal's order, but also for his own beliefs!

“And I can’t sense any glory of the Lord in him!”

Yes, this is the biggest reason why everyone present, including the burial authorities, did not regard Jesus Christ in front of them as their true Lord.

They could not sense any gift of the Lord's majesty from him. He might bring "miracles"...

But miracles can always be created by man, and the real God should be greater and more noble!

Either he will come with the coming of Judgment Day to bring rebirth to the world, or he will appear as a glorious deity and fill the invisible earth with the Lord's majesty!

But what about this Jesus Christ?

He traveled all over Japan, created countless miracles, and saved countless people from suffering. But he never preached his teachings or talked about the blessings of the gods.

He just silently and wordlessly saved the world. Undoubtedly, he was a great man, but they could not admit that such a man was their Lord!

"If I don't spread faith, then I am not worthy of being your Lord?" Kotomine Risei and even the rest of the people looked at them with compassion.

"Everything you do is for the Lord you believe in, and we did the same, but...does your 'God' really hear your prayers? Without the foundation of magic, wouldn't we be unable to reproduce miracles?"

"No doubt, you may be able to sense the presence of the Lord, but why do you rebuke our Lord? We follow Him because we sense His greatness, His holiness, His purity..."

"Did the Lord save the blind in order to make them believe? Did the Lord save those drowning people for the sake of believers? Did the Lord bear the sins of the world just for the sake of their worship?"

"If our Lord is full of such utilitarianism, if our Lord is a thing that those who do not believe in him must go to hell, then what is the difference between him and Satan?"

Believers headed by Kotomine Risei raised doubts about the doctrine...

Because perhaps they were believers like these people before. They firmly believed in the stories in the Bible and believed that people who did not believe in the Lord would fall into LIMBO (edge ​​of hell) even if they were kind. Only those who believed in the Lord were worthy of being saved after death.

They believe that those who do not believe in the Lord are deeply sinful, and that all miracles other than the Lord's gifts are heresies that need to be wiped out!

However, after following Jesus Christ, they abandoned this self-centered idea.

They were touched by the kindness and silence of Jesus Christ, his good deeds, his gifts, his miracles, never asking for anything in return, not even for the reward of faith.

He is just helping, just enlightening, just saving those who need help.

Undoubtedly, he did not embody any of the sacredness described in the classics. He was like a silent good man, traveling around the world to save anyone who deserved to be saved.

But it is this purity and simplicity that has infected these believers who once regarded the Bible as a proverb.

They began to question, or rather, began to be willing to believe that Jesus Christ before them was their true Lord.

And perhaps this was the case with the Lord who once walked across Europe and in Rome.

He never had any idea of ​​conveying teachings to others, but just went to help everyone and anyone who could be helped.

And those people who follow the Lord and believe in the Lord may have once served Him wholeheartedly like himself.

Until the Lord left to bear the sins of the world, until they lost their own goals to believe in and rely on, they fell into confusion.

Then, in order to fill the void in their hearts, they began to fabricate scriptures, they began to speculate on the Lord's will, and so they passed down the church.

Inherited from generation to generation, repeated year after year, the true meaning gradually distorted in the countless transmissions. It began to become greedy, no longer pure, and became unreasonable.

Decorate it with holiness, offer it on the altar, speak of God's grace, and sow God's punishment.

Countless stories that did not belong to the Lord were forced upon him. It was clearly the flood ark of Deucalion and Pyrrha, but it became the Noah's Ark in the Bible.

It was clearly the fratricide between Seth and Olysias, but it became Cain and Abel in the Bible. It was clearly the gods in Roman mythology, but they became angels serving the Lord. It was clearly the sun god of the Semites, but he became the chief demon of hell.

Those who spread his teachings, even the most devout believers, have gone astray under the wrong scriptures.

They can no longer understand the Lord's true meaning because the Lord's true meaning has been completely distorted after countless times of dissemination.

They no longer act out of kindness, but instead hurt others to prove that they are right.

In fact, having said so much, Kotomine Risei and the others were not trying to say that they were the so-called "orthodox".

Throughout the long history of the Church, unreasonable wars have broken out many times over this stupid issue of orthodoxy.

They just want to say that they are just following the Lord they have chosen, following Him to do more things that should be done, to do good, to save people, and to express the Lord's true intentions on His behalf.

They have no intention of competing for faith, and they do not need people's tribute and offerings. The Lord is here, and the Lord never needs these things. What qualifications do they who follow the Lord have to ask for them in the name of the Lord?

They did not want to fight for faith, or even the name of the Lord, because in their view, those who followed the Lord were no longer a group of sheepdogs, but just a group of people imitating the Lord.

Why must the Lord be a high and mighty deity, and not just a person who simply wants to do good things?

Kindness may be contagious, making faith so pure. They firmly believe that if a god who encourages people to be good is narrow-minded and stingy, how can he be qualified to call himself a god?

They firmly believe in what they believe and follow what they follow, that's all.

However, such behavior cannot be recognized by these fanatical believers.

"heresy!"

Father Andrewson roared like a storm, and all the executors of Section 13 followed the priest and rushed towards Jesus Christ like crazy...

The Knights of the Inquisition raised their weapons, sprayed the hot and holy fire of purification, and vowed to burn everything in sight.

They were so angry because the person in front of them was a true heretic.

Now that the Holy Church has almost unified all kinds of Catholic faiths, this is the only heresy that makes them extremely angry.

As we all know, heretics are obviously more hated than pagans.

"Narrow-minded, fanatical, angry, arrogant, the Lord teaches you to do good, but you respond with such an attitude."

Kotomine Li faced the incoming attack head-on, without dodging or avoiding it, and drew a cross on his chest, lowered his head and said...

"But...the Lord will still forgive you."

The attack was approaching, but Jesus Christ did not say a single word. He did not dodge or evade. The countless fanatical attacks could not get close to him.

Be it the raging fire that burns the city, be it the black key that pierces and purifies, be it the holy light that purifies evil, be it the books that dispel filth.

He continued to move forward, and his followers lowered their heads and followed their master silently.

This silent attitude showed the greatest contempt. He didn't care about anything about them, whether it was harm or attack, he just ignored it.

Not only that, but this Jesus Christ also protects everyone who is bounced back by the power around him, allowing them to land safely without being hurt by their own attacks.

But isn’t this the Lord’s teaching?

Jesus said to his followers: You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth'; but I say to you.

Do not resist an evil person. If anyone strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also. If anyone wants to sue you and take your coat, give your cloak also. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to those who ask you, and do not turn away those who want to borrow from you.

The people they regarded as heretics were firmly believing in the Lord's teachings and loving their enemies unconditionally. However, they continued to hurt the world in order to prove that they were right.

It was like a huge irony, a ridiculous farce, their enemies said nothing, but had already won in the invisible debate.

Xiel began to waver strongly. She should have started as the trump card of the burial mechanism... but she wavered. She felt that she was not right.

She even dropped the Seventh Holy Scripture that had been firing just now and began to stand still.

Maybe the heretic is not the other person, but yourself?

Melian Solomon beside her didn't think so simply.

Since he didn't believe in God, he wouldn't have such a problem. He just felt that the guy in front of him was... weirder than he had imagined.

He was not a "Son of God" like himself. Not only that, Melian Solomon also felt a strong sense of rejection from him!

His expression was strange, even extremely nervous. This burial mechanism that was always fearless and had a hidden backup plan now had a face full of nervousness.

Not only did the restraining force not bless him, but it was constantly repelling him!

Such a situation is very rare, but Meilian Solomon knows what kind of situation it will happen!

Outsiders, aliens, visitors from other worlds, only such aliens that break into the earth's environment will encounter such a counterattack with such a restraining force!

Like the giant spider in Crystal Valley, and if that were the case—

Could the person in front of me really be Jesus?

It's impossible, Melian Solomon's rational judgment is like this... But the scene now presented in front of him makes his self-proclaimed rationality no longer accurate.

He chose to wait and see what this "Jesus Christ" would do when faced with harm from his believers.

Attack, attack, attack continuously.

Hurt, hurt, non-stop hurt.

In contrast to the hysterical fanatics are the indifferent people who follow their Lord. They are compassionate and silent, and their silence becomes the best contempt.

Between you who are doing harm and us who are doing good, who is the heretic?

Who is the one who trampled on the Lord's grace?

Our Lord is indifferent, our Lord forgives your violence, you who cry out heresy...

It is something more cruel and brutal than those villains who died at your hands.

You are not even as good as the rebellious Judas - at least Judas repented after knowing his sins and then hanged himself to atone for his sins.

They did not speak, nor debate like the eloquent cardinals in the Sistine Chapel...

Nor did they explain the correctness and greatness of their Lord like those preaching priests.

But their actions are more hurtful than any words and more shocking than any debate.

Gradually, the attacks subsided, and those originally fanatical believers began to drop their weapons and started crying with their faces covered.

They also felt their own baseness, their own fanaticism, and their deviation from God's true teachings... using violence and cruelty to try to force others to become like themselves.

Even the most fanatical believers have basic morals. They can judge what is good and what is bad, what is good and what is evil, but most of the time...

These morals can be easily washed away by the brainwashing education they have received since childhood.

But now, their fanatical attacks have achieved no results, their devout beliefs have been silently despised, their fanaticism has faded, but their morality is telling them again...

——You are not kind, you are not right, you are just evil people who commit violent acts.

When you peel off the solid armor of faith, you discover how despicable you are while wearing this armor of faith.

When doubt begins, faith will not be strong.

"Aieeeeeeeeeee!"

The indomitable Father Andrewson did not stop at all and showed no so-called repentance. He roared and shouted, launching charges that produced no results again and again.

He is the most fanatical believer of the Holy Church, and he is the Thirteenth Division's agent of the traitorous Iscariot... and he will never allow the faith he has always upheld to be shaken!

Because that was a result he absolutely could not accept.

He and all the members of Section Thirteen were raised and educated by the Holy Church since childhood.

The priest told them that all the people in Section Thirteen were descendants of sinners and that they were born full of sin, just like Judas who betrayed Jesus.

A sinner who made a straw rope to hang himself and sold his soul for thirty silver coins.

They must atone their sins, and they can only use a long period of time to atone for the original sin they were born into.

They cannot expect to reach heaven through dedication; they can only use sacrifice to reach the edge of hell and continue to atone for their sins in the endless years after death.

This is how he spent his life, atonement, endless wars, clearing out pagans in the name of God, and sweeping away the enemies of the church in accordance with the will of God's spokesperson.

He did not hesitate to use heretical technology to transform his own body. Everything he did was just to better hunt heretics and better serve his Lord.

Because of this, he did not allow his faith to be shaken. He persisted in his devout faith for his entire life... not for any benefit, nor for the expansion and prosperity of the church.

What he was seeking was only atonement! Killing and clearing in the name of God was just a storm brought down by the Lord's will!

His faith is so pure that it can even be said to have been purified to the point where it does not contain any other factors, and only "faith" itself exists.

Therefore, he will never waver, and his beliefs will never be changed! !

The unyielding obstructions and attacks, even though the counterattacks of Jesus Christ were extremely gentle...

Anderson almost broke one of his arms in the impact and was covered in bruises.

The number of believers following him has gradually decreased. The Inquisition Knights are gone, the Eighth Mystery Society has ceased, and even the Burial Organ has only one person left.

In addition to the Thirteen Sections, there are orphans raised by Anderson, who, like him, are full of sins and are constantly moving forward to atone for their sins.
