Chapter 627: Ainz Ooal Gown
Alexander immediately looked into the mind of a priest to understand where he was. It turned out to be a place called Slane Theocracy and its culture disgusted Alexander.
The Theocracy preached human supremacy and the persecution of other "lesser" races. With its religion revolving around the Six Gods and their descendants, the Theocracy was effectively divided into six different religious sects, each with its own unique culture and practices.
Another central part of the Slane Theocracy's religion was the Miko Princesses, who by description were the nation's religious figures vital in performing some of their important rituals. There seem to be Six Miko Princesses, which were related to the elements of the Six Great Gods. Though seemingly an esteemed position of power, in contrast, he found out that the Miko Princesses were effectively living sacrifices.
There was also blood purity involved. To achieve blood purity and not lose connection to their god, the Theocracy practised polygamy. As a Theocracy, the Slane was governed by a Pontifex Maximus with a position similar to that of an Emperor, elected in a conclave by the Six Cardinals. Cardinals were the highest appointment holders of the six sects that are devoted to the Six Gods.
Where Alexander was standing was seemed to be that office of these six cardinals or they must have gathered for something.
Alexander didn't really have a problem with their whole country but some of their practices. For example, racism was promoted by official means and how killing in the name of gods was happening.
~Hmm, well, if they are considering me their god then I guess I will be their god.~
All the cardinals were bowing to Alexander.
"Granpa... they sleeping?" Thea quickly spoke while sitting in Alexander's arms.
