"Our Lord suffered because he bore our sins! Therefore, we must repay the Son's devotion with pain and prove our purity to the great Lord!"

That voice was so passionate and pure, coupled with Kotomine Kirei's passionate expression...

It was as if he was really an ascetic who longed to gain God's mercy by torturing himself.

It doesn't matter whether it is true or not, Kotomine Kirei is the believer closest to the Son of God. It can be said that he is a true "saint", just like Saint Peter, and his status in the hearts of believers is extremely lofty!

If the Son of God is the supreme wise king who is worshipped and worshipped by everyone... then Kotomine Kirei, the person who conveys the will of the Son of God, is the modern-day Pope.

"Suffering makes us pure! Pain makes us sober! The Lord took over our suffering to bear our sins, and we must use suffering to call back the Lord's mercy!"

Kotomine Kirei shouted loudly, speaking words full of bewitching intent, and as he continued to whip himself, all the believers who followed Kotomine Kirei in the entire square also began to destroy themselves!

Some of them cut their bodies with knives, some walked naked with huge stones on their backs... Some even chose to use more extreme pain to show their piety!

It is hard to believe that there are so many ignorant believers in this era - but this is the nature of faith, ignorance, blind obedience, madness, and extremism!

What is wrong with following the actions of their idol's agents?

They don't need to think, because the people they worship will think for them. All they have to do is to be a group of ants and exist as executors in the ant colony.

Such a massive act of asceticism naturally caused a split among the religious groups within Rome today - compared to these fanatical believers, there are still more normal people.

Those believers who are unwilling to harm themselves only pray for the return of their Lord with the simplest of prayers.

But as time goes by, more and more people join the ranks of ascetics.

Because in this terrifying world, in this world where the old order of the past has completely collapsed, these people who have suffered the horror and pain of war need an idol to ease their pain and sorrow.

They need a sense of security, and people live for a sense of security...so any of their actions can be understood.

"Father Kotomine, isn't it against the teachings of the Holy Son to allow these people to do this?"

Xiel, who had changed into her nun's clothes again, looked at the self-torturing monks, who were behaving as if they had returned to the Middle Ages, and whispered to Kotomine Risei, who was also one of the original saints of the Son of God.

Kotomine Li was watching all this with a complicated expression, and turned back to answer Xier's question...

"Kirei said that his actions were intended to give these uneasy people an excuse to feel at ease, a channel and method to vent their violence... Asceticism is meant to be like this. If he hadn't done this, perhaps the number of crimes in Rome would have skyrocketed even more."

Isn't this the essence of asceticism? It is an act of self-touching. By torturing oneself, one tries to interpret the truth and touch the God whom they have never seen.

Every religion has something like this, or it can be said that suffering is a major element of religion.

But what Kotomine Riku was worried about was that the Holy Son he served had clearly expressed his disgust for such behavior... and if he discovered his son's behavior, even if he had good intentions...

boom!

The next moment, with a roaring explosion in the sky, a black light fell from the sky. The city of Rome was instantly in turmoil, and people screamed and fled in all directions, fearing that a nuclear bomb had exploded above their heads!

However, it didn't happen. The one who walked down from the black light and the dark meteorite was the Holy Son they worshipped.

Fear instantly turned into waves of cheers and joy. The whole of Rome was cheering. In this era when extraordinary people took to the stage to abuse the world, Jesus Christ, whom they once rejected... was now the greatest leader in their hearts!

Jesus Christ did not speak, he just landed silently in front of Kotomine Kirei, in front of those who went against his will, tortured themselves with asceticism, and moved themselves with pain.

Kotomine Kirei looked at his Holy Son with a smile, his heart eager to try... no matter if it was death or something else, he longed to see his Lord's reaction when he saw such a scene!

Lord, your believers are so foolish, ignorant, and hateful. Will you still love them like this?

Seeing this, Yan Fengli rushed over. He wanted to plead with the Son of God!

His son definitely did not have any bad intentions in doing such a thing.

He tortured himself and motivated these self-mutilating monks to take action, really just for the health and stability of the people!

But before he could get close, Jesus Christ suddenly thrust a thorn into Kotomine Kirei's heart!

Kotomine Kirei fell to his knees in agony, making a loud noise... and just when everyone thought that the Son of God was punishing Kotomine Kirei - something incredible happened.

A dazzling electric current burst out from Kotomine Kirei's body, followed by thorns spreading from his blood vessels!

He looked at his hands in confusion. He didn't understand why the Son of God would give him such extraordinary power!

“This is a reward.”

Jesus Christ said this calmly, his tone was as calm and peaceful as always, but only Kotomine Kirei could hear it - underneath that tone was a deep indifference!

"I bear your suffering to atone for your sins."

Jesus Christ looked at everyone, looked at the stunned Kotomine Risei and Hier, looked at all the Catholics and said calmly...

"The day of eternal judgment is coming, and only the innocent can enter heaven. I have taken on your pain, and your pain represents your sins... and you need more pain to atone for your sins."

He spoke such words, so sacred, so high and mighty... just like the Messiah spoken of by those black pigs chanting scriptures!

"So, show your pain, and use your pain... to exchange for miracles!"

The preaching and return of the Son spread like a virus.

The next moment, in front of St. Peter's Square, there was a large group of believers who were madly abusing themselves!

The Son of God returned to Rome and summoned a group of loyal believers in the Vatican. After seven days of unknown work, the Son of God announced that he would establish the Kingdom of God on earth in Europe!

All the land within sight is God's land, and all those who do not respect God's will are pagans who need to be killed!

And all believers must offer their wealth and status... because in the future church, brothers and sisters are equal... We have no wealth, we have no status, we are all one!

An extremely radical strategy! The sudden change of attitude of the Son of God shocked the countless believers and high-ranking wealthy people who had fled here...

As a result, public opinion began to condemn the Son of God, and they formed teams and organized marches, trying to force the Son of God to take back his order by the way they were best at.

However, all the voices of condemnation disappeared completely in a very short time.

It was not because the Son of God killed them all, but because those who condemned them no longer had the thought of condemning them.

This extremely strange phenomenon makes Europe a more terrifying place than the other two countries.

Soon, some news came out that the Son of God was using strange methods to enslave all these people.

He requires all the people of the Kingdom of God to make a painful confession and wear a crown of thorns for one day before they can join the Kingdom of God. And it is after this "baptism" on this day that all voices of opposition will disappear.

Some people say that this is the Son of God's way of enslaving the people, and those who are wounded by thorns are already slaves of the Son of God.

Others say it is a way for the Son to empower his people.

Those who join the Kingdom of God gain an incredible power. By causing great pain to themselves, they can gain the power of "miracles"!

This power completely replaced the baptismal chants of the cathedral church and was named the "Miracle of Pain".

A large number of people who pursue pain have gained a high status in the Kingdom of God...

The entire national atmosphere presents a morbid pattern of status determined by pain.

Those who endured pain and gained miracles became the "thorns of pain" of the Kingdom of God, conquering those places that did not join the Empire and the Kingdom of Heaven.

Those places that had just been celebrating their withdrawal from the Kingdom of Heaven were now falling and perishing under such attacks. How could the Kingdom of Heaven and the Empire just sit back and watch?

But they just joined in the carnival of division.

No one cares about ordinary people, no one cares about civilians. In this new era, people are nothing more than numbers and assets.

But no matter what, Bai Chou, Bai Jingtian, and the Holy Son... the three strong men who remained on the battlefield divided the entire world in their own way, and after simply establishing a new order, they were ready to go.

War is bound to break out between them, and perhaps they just lack a fuse.

And the flame that ignites the fuse may not come from within the world, but may come from... outside the world.

54. Girl and Love

For Ayaka Sajo, her sister Aika is a special existence.

Her elder sister is beautiful, talented and beautiful. She is the person she admires the most. She is cute, smart and adept at everything she does.

Although she is only six years older than me, she is as beautiful as a princess in a fairy tale, and is incredibly perfect and even omnipotent.

This is true even for things like cooking.

Little Sajo Ayaka looked at her sister with some confusion. Her sister was busy in the kitchen, humming a little song softly. She looked happier and more dazzling than ever.

"Ayaka, can you help me get the plate? And the toast?"

"Yeah. Sister."

"Ah, not that one. It's the bacon and poached eggs plate, so it's the small one. Look, that's the one you broke earlier. Also, the toast isn't thick slices, it's thin slices."

"Ah, um, um—" Ayaka nodded while observing her sister's expression. As always, she still had that bright and lovely smile...

But as a younger sister, Ayaka can see that her sister's smile is more genuine and brighter than ever before.

Something must have happened that she didn't know about, Ayaka thought... because she had never seen her sister so happy or even excited.

Bacon, fried eggs, toast, salad, milk, kidney pie, cheese and ham, porridge and scones, black tea and fruit for dessert. There was so much that it was impossible for me, my father and my sister to finish it all.

Right now, her sister is cooking a big fish that looks strange, like a deep-sea fish...but Ayaka can't tell where she has seen that strange fish.

"Hey, can you help me taste it, Ayaka?" Aige smiled and cut a piece of fried fish and handed it to her sister, saying with a smile...

"Hmm? Yes. Is that okay?"

"Sure. Come on, open your mouth."

Opening her mouth as her sister had instructed, Ayaka took a piece of fine white fish meat with her slender white fingertips and took a bite.

Although I don't really like sashimi, this was refreshing and melt-in-your-mouth, without any weird feeling of eating raw food, and it was very delicious.

Ayaka nodded seriously, and Aige smiled very sweetly and said softly...

"Since Ayaka was fine after eating it, it seems to have been successful! Although it was materialized from a fantasy, it is the same thing he talked about..."

The father, who was drinking coffee at the dining table, choked and coughed. He looked at his daughter in disbelief. Although it sounded like a joke, any words coming out of his daughter's mouth were definitely not a joke.

Fantasy materialization? This kid actually uses fantasy materialization to make breakfast?

Although as a father, Hiroki Sajo must believe that his daughter has such ability - however, he has never seen Aika abuse this ability like this.

"There are even more powerful magics." Aige stroked the head of the somewhat confused Ayaka, but looked behind her, as if looking at something, smiling sweetly...

"The magic called love is something more powerful than any magician's secrets."

……

“You don’t actually have to do any of this stuff.”

Bai Wunan looked at the food on the table, as well as the delicious magnetic field warship fish that he had mentioned casually... when he was in the Wind Tribe and Wuliang Island, and said softly...

"Don't you like it? I made a lot at once. If it doesn't suit your taste, I'll make something else next time..."

At the east window, a voice cuter than the chirping birds outside the house pointed at the dining table with many dishes on it and said, with an expression that seemed to be worried about something.

She was a lovely girl, with soft hair that seemed to be transparent to the sun, light-colored eyes, and a emerald dress that perfectly set off her.

Just like a brilliantly blooming flower - this is how Bai Wunan described the girl in his heart. She is very beautiful, and has an indescribable purity. This is definitely something Bai Wunan admires and likes from the bottom of his heart.

It was like the first time I met Haitong - no, the scene when I first met Haitong and Lina was not a beautiful one.

Bai Wunan sighed quietly in his heart.

It's more like Qingqing, Bai Wunan thought silently in his heart, an association that he would never be happy about.

Ai Ge's gaze focused on the moment his figure moved towards the dining table.

"If you're willing to eat..."

As cheerful as a kind fairy dancing in the sunshine.

The large flower bloomed beautifully, bathed in the morning dew. The light was suddenly stained with shadow. Like a fairy hiding its shadow, the blooming flower went back in time and closed.

Seeing that Takeo remained unmoved, his eyes wavered. Aige's expression became depressed. This made Bai Wunan a little overwhelmed, so he sat down -

As always, he was terrible with women.

Especially such a young girl, at least too young compared to himself...an age at which the morality of a white-haired man would never allow him to have any inappropriate thoughts.

He began to eat silently, and although this amount was impossible for an ordinary person to eat, it was of course no problem for Bai Wunan.

In fact, he didn't need to eat at all. His current 480,000 horsepower had already made him accustomed to the process of separating matter from the nutrients it provided him. Eating was just a pastime for him.

Quickly, with an almost innocent and swallowing speed, she finished half of the food in front of her. Aige's smile returned to its cheerful appearance. She tilted her head and looked at Wu Nan, chuckling softly...

"Actually, Takeo, I've always been curious about what class of Servant you are. Or maybe you're not a Heroic Spirit at all."

"Who knows? At least he won't be a hero in this world." Bai Wunan put down his cutlery, sighed and said...

"I shouldn't be your Servant, and I shouldn't be participating in this so-called Holy Grail War. I shouldn't even be alive."

"You are a hero... There is no doubt that, although you are not from our world, Wu Nan, you are a great person." Ai Ge's white fingers gently stopped at the tip of Wu Nan's nose and whispered...
