I love time travel the most!

In his dying moments, Berrick kept repeating this sentence in his mind, but at the same time he also felt strange. Does the soul really exist in this world? Why do I, who am already dead, still have the ability to think?

"To answer your question, the soul exists, and you are not dead."

So souls really do exist.

Wait, I'm not dead?

"Of course! If you're awake, get up quickly, what are you still doing lying on the ground!"

Facing this rebuke and scathing rebuke, Berrick slowly opened his eyes.

Familiar ceiling.

He lay on his back on the soft wool blanket, where he could smell the earth and blood.

My heart!

In a panic, he quickly got up and kept rubbing his whole body.

Nothing unusual.

Was it a hallucination? Was everything that just happened fake? Did I actually not die, and was I just hallucinating?

But when he saw the hole in his clothes and the blood that soaked around it, Berrick was certain that he had indeed just died!

“Berrick, you’re too flustered. What kind of behavior is this in front of His Excellency?”

A gentle lesson reached his ears.

He turned his head and saw a familiar figure kneeling beside him.

"Master?!"

Berrick looked at him in surprise.

At this moment, a man was sitting on a luxurious bench in the direction where the cult leader was kneeling.

The man who ripped his heart out!

"demon!"

"Demon? I'd rather you call me...the messenger of God."

Kobayashi watched the flustered Berrick with great interest, quite pleased with his fearful and trembling appearance.

"Master, he's a heretic! A demon! Quick! Order him killed! Hurry! Rakshasa devil, charge! Charge now!"

Berrick pointed at Kobayashi and shouted excitedly at the cult leader, urging the followers and the four demons guarding him to hurry up, as if only in this way could he vent his inner fear.

However, everyone remained motionless.

They all knelt on the ground with their hands clasped together in a devout manner, as if worshipping the man in the chair.

Instead, the High Priest advised, "Berrick, Your Excellency has already told me all your crimes. To atone for your past sins, you should obediently accept the punishment from the gods."

"Divine punishment... Hahaha, divine punishment?! There are no gods in this world! No gods!! No!!!"

Berrick's face turned bright red, as if all the blood had rushed to his face, veins popped out on his forehead, and he shouted in terror, saliva flying everywhere.

Even if he denies it verbally, his heart is already wavering.

Now, all it takes is a little help.

Kobayashi curled the corners of his lips and said with feigned disappointment, "Ahhh, so disappointing~ I should have known better than to revive you. I even helped you cure your hidden ailment. What a waste of all my hard work."

unmentionable disease?

Berrick felt his body brimming with vitality and energy, completely free of the weakness he had felt from being drained by alcohol and sex.

"Hahaha—, it's all fake! You must have given me some kind of energy-boosting drug!" Berrick refused to admit it and continued to evade responsibility.

"Honestly, if I didn't still have a use for you, I would have sent you to meet my goddess."

Kobayashi was getting impatient and waved his hand at him, saying, "Alright, alright, you can just watch from the side for now."

Then, he looked at the cult leader.

All they said was blame.

"Although you are kind-hearted, charitable, and possess extraordinary personal charm that makes you beloved by the church members, you also fail to recognize people's true character and allow them to cause trouble under the church's protection. I really doubt whether you have the ability to see through people's hearts?"

"I am deeply sorry about this; it is entirely my own fault."

The leader could have shifted the blame, saying he had been slandered and misled by villains, or that Berrick was good at pretending and being deceived, but he still took the responsibility very responsibly.

An excellent leader.

Kobayashi nodded in satisfaction and said, "Alright, then I sentence you to death."

"Yes." The cult leader accepted his fate.

Kobayashi then looked at Berwick, a malicious smirk playing on his lips, causing Berwick, who had been contemplating how to escape since the beginning, to instinctively shudder.

“Berrick, you shall carry out the execution.”

"what?"

"I'm telling you, you're the one to carry out the execution. If you're unwilling, then I'm going to have some heart-to-heart talks with you."

Seeing that he wouldn't agree, Xiaolin kept stretching his right hand forward.

As his right hand drew ever closer, he could already smell the blood emanating from his palm and sense the beating heart that was about to be grasped once more.

"I'll do it! I'll do it!"

Berrick nodded in agreement without hesitation.

He drew the long sword from the guard beside him and said to the cult leader, "My lord, I'm sorry!"

The two are now in the same boat; no matter how much he wants to replace the other, he can only feel sorrow now.

After all, the demon sitting on top is wantonly toying with their lives.

"It's alright, Berrick. I will die, but I will also be reborn, so Berrick, you don't need to be sad."

The cult leader, instead of showing any fear, uttered words that left everyone bewildered.

Is it the same old "return to God's embrace" approach?

Berrick was a clergyman, so he naturally understood what believers said to outsiders after their deaths, but they all knew it was false, and the leader couldn't possibly not understand that!

hateful!

Filled with anger and fear, he cruelly chopped off the cult leader's head.

The cult leader, whose head had fallen to the ground, did not cry or scream, but looked at him with a smile before slowly closing his eyes.

His clothes were stained crimson, and the smell of blood kept filling his nostrils.

Berrick was terrified.

But his punishment was not over yet, for the devil on the luxurious bench gave another order.

“Berrick, put his head back on his neck.”

"Brain...head...put it back?"

Why? Is this an insult to the cult leader's corpse? He truly is a demon...

However, under duress, they had no choice but to obey the other party's orders.

The cult leader had already stopped breathing, and his serene, smiling face was devoid of color. He was certain that he had died after his head was chopped off!

Trembling, they lifted the cult leader's head and gently placed it in its proper place.

They're arranged quite neatly.

"Very good, now I'll perform a miracle for you."

Tap your fingers lightly.

--resurrection!

A blinding magic circle suddenly lit up, but apart from Berwick, no one covered their eyes. Instead, they held back their tears and stared intently at the miracle that was about to happen.

Three seconds have passed...

The light faded, the magic circle disappeared, and the cult leader lying on the ground had his neck completely healed and slowly opened his eyes.

"It seems I've been resurrected, no, perhaps 'reborn' would be a better word."

The cult leader rose, clasped his hands together, and knelt before Xiao Lin with utmost reverence: "Thank you for your grace. May the gods' favor always be with you, Divine Child!"

"May the gods' favor last forever, Your Highness!"

Upon witnessing this scene, the others' eyes gleamed with fervor, and they knelt before the cult leader with their hands clasped together in utmost devotion.

No, no, no, Your Highness?!

Although I know that a child favored by the gods is called a god child, no matter how I think about it, it's me taking care of that stupid water goddess, right?

"Call him Father!"

"……what?"

"Ahem, it's nothing."

Kobayashi coughed awkwardly and said, "Don't call me Divine Child, just call me Lord Kobayashi. After all, I need to hide my identity for now."

"That's it, I know."

The cult leader seemed to understand something and nodded, then bowed and said, "May the gods' favor always be with you, Lord Kobayashi!"

"Master Xiaolin!" xN

very good!

Turning to look at the dumbfounded Berwick, Kobayashi asked, "So, are you satisfied with this miracle? By the way, you were also resurrected using this method just now."

"is that a lie……"

Berrick's worldview was shaken.

The resurrection of the dead is against common sense and something that even emperors a thousand years ago could not do. The proof is that if resurrection was possible, why didn't they use it?

And now, a miracle is unfolding before his eyes.

"Oh dear, it seems you still don't believe me. How about someone else perform for him?"
