Chapter 640: Warrior (8)
At the Pope's greeting, those surrounding him furrowed their brows.
They thought the Pope was joking even in this situation. Erginus would have likely thought the same if he didn't know the true nature of the power the Pope had just used to create his head.
"How is that possible? How can the Apostle of the Evil God handle the divinity of the Lord?"
"The great Lord is a merciful being, after all."
Only after facing Erginus' shock did the others realize that the Pope's words were not lies, and they gasped in disbelief.
However, what was strange was that the knights, who should have felt betrayed by the Pope’s words, and Rasha, who had been with him, were not the least bit surprised.
"...Did you know?"
Feibi, who was familiar with the knights, asked with a trembling voice, and they nodded.
"Regardless of the past, His Majesty’s faith in the Lord has not changed."
Despite the serious tone, it was hard to believe their words were sincere.
The idea that they stood beside the Apostle of the Evil God because of his noble intentions seemed less plausible than the idea that the Apostle had brainwashed them.
In reality, most people sent the Pope angry glances. Despite the sharp glares from others, the Pope smiled leisurely, but when his eyes met Lucy's, he lowered his gaze.
