Chapter 217 - The Witch of Disaster’s Resolve
During the intense battle unfolding across Milis, Pope Lucios induced himself into unconsciousness.
Things were not going as he had planned. The Beast God, his most dangerous enemy, was far more powerful than he had initially estimated.
He was an opponent capable of reacting instantly to any trap Lucios tried to set. Even with knowledge of the future, the advantage seemed useless in the face of that man’s capability.
Without alternatives, Lucios sought help directly from the God he had worshiped and followed for over ten years — the one who called himself the Man God.
The true source of the Pope’s Divine Visions, although he always insisted that Lucios claim it was a Miko power.
This God had guided and supported him all that time, giving Lucios the chance he had always sought: the chance to expel and exterminate the races that sullied and corrupted the continent of Milis by their mere existence.
The God of Humans was a just and benevolent deity, Lucios never doubted that for a moment.
But, as one would expect from a divinity, of course He also had His own interests.
Although the Man God wished to help him in his goals, there was something He desired more intensely: the death of Rygar Adoldia.
He did not explain His reasons, nor did He give details on how this death should occur. He simply ordered Lucios to follow His instructions without question, assuring that if he did so, everything would work out in time.
Throughout all those years, Lucios received help in various forms. Under the guidance of the Man God, he accomplished countless feats for the good of Milis.
His power within the church grew exponentially, and with it came more victories against the Iron Legion.
