I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

"what happened?"

Seeing this, Elliot's heart, which had just relaxed a little, instantly became tense again. While continuing to use the power of faith to maintain the operation of the ceremony, he began to investigate the cause.

When the crisis came, Elliot's reaction was extremely fast. He quickly found out the cause, but this cause left him somewhat clueless.

There is no body as the core to carry the power of faith.

What does that mean? Did that seed originally have a body to go with it?

But according to the records in the ancestors' notes, all they found was this illusory seed. Where did the body come from? Could it have been destroyed long ago? Then he would be completely helpless.

No matter how confused Elliot was, he could only respond honestly at this moment, unless he wanted to just wait for death and give up.

Fortunately, Elliot soon found the existence that might be the core through the faint attraction emitted by the seed.

"The Fallen Origin, huh? She looks like an Imperial soldier. I wonder how she got involved with this seed."

There are many mysteries about this mysterious seed. The reason why the holy city was chosen here is because they have no means to move the location of this seed.

Right now it's just another mystery, so it's more important to get through the current difficulties first.

Thinking of this, Elliot immediately prepared the forced summoning ceremony.

"Phew—I hope it goes well."

After finally checking some of the magical conditions, Elliot injected strength into the forced summoning magic, and the summoning location was the hidden space where the illusory seed was located inside the statue of the Goddess of Light.

And in the next second after the magic was successful, the originally restless God's Descent Ceremony calmed down, and the endless power of faith began to converge rapidly towards the center of the ceremony. The goddess of light belonging to the human race was about to descend here.

Ding--

Accompanied by a crisp sound that echoed in the holy city, a dazzling golden beam of light shot up into the sky. The golden light enveloped every resident of the holy city, healing their hidden dangers in their bodies. Those who were in good health felt as if they had become several years younger.

The next moment, a golden sky spread out from the top of the light column, quickly covering the distance, and finally descending to the ground, firmly blocking the advance of the abyss waves.

Countless black abyss monsters continuously attacked the thin golden barrier in front of them, trying to tear a gap to devour the weak lives within the barrier, but they all failed.

Charles the Great, who had already joined the Demon God in the north, looked at the barrier in front of him in silence, obviously unable to break through its defense.

The abyss monsters in the south that could pass through all obstacles were also hindered for the first time and were completely blocked outside this seemingly thin barrier.

"…The Theocracy's trump card?"

Feeling the power of faith coming from the barrier, Charles the Great said in a deep voice.

"It seems that this is the only way to go for now."

Without other combat forces to support him, Charles the Great felt that he was unable to break through this barrier. It seemed that his plan to offer all human beings to the Demon Lord would have to be postponed for a while.

He had clearly set an ambush and killed the two cardinals who could be said to be the Pope's right-hand men, but he didn't expect that the Theocracy could still use this trump card. It seems that the Empire's previous positioning of the Theocracy had a big error.

A country that used to be only responsible for mediating between the three countries and had the fewest paladins or soldiers. Unexpectedly, it could come up with such a trump card that could suppress the entire human race.

Haha, he is really a hidden talent.

§128 Faith Pollution

In the holy city, after supporting the light curtain that enveloped the Holy Kingdom, the huge golden light column also collapsed into countless golden light spots, which fell into the holy city like stars. It looked quite dreamy and even made everyone temporarily forget the threat from the black monster.

And in the dissipating beam of light, the figure of a beautiful woman also floated into the Pope's Palace below, covered by countless light spots.

Her figure is like the embodiment of the word "beauty" in the human world. Although her face and clothes are no different from the statue of the Goddess of Light in the Pope's Palace, she has an indescribable sense of sacredness, which makes her every move show nobility and makes people dare not have any improper thoughts.

"My lady goddess."

Seeing the goddess of light, believed by countless believers, being born from the divine descent ceremony, Elliot, who was in charge of all this, felt a little complicated.

From the day he became Pope, he was told that the Goddess of Light did not exist, a fact that was enough to shatter one's faith. But after he had accepted all this, the other party was truly born here through a ceremony, which made him, the Pope, extremely embarrassed. It would take him a while to adjust his mentality.

However, the more critical issue at the moment is whether this God of Light has become more inclined to a chaotic style of behavior due to the pollution of faith.

If so, then it is hard to say whether the other person's birth is a blessing or a curse.

Now that the Goddess of Light has descended, he, the Pope, is no longer the highest authority in the Holy Kingdom. With her status as the Goddess of Light, no matter how unreasonable her orders are, they will be carried out unwaveringly by the believers below.

This is also closely related to their doctrine. In their doctrine, everything in the world, whether happiness or suffering, is a trial given to believers by the Goddess of Light. Only by overcoming the trial can they ascend to the kingdom of God after death and live a life without suffering.

Although he, the Pope, knows that the so-called Kingdom of God does not exist at all.

Normally, Pope Elliot is actually the equivalent of a shepherd acting on behalf of God. According to doctrine, the names he issues are relaying the oracle of the goddess. But at the moment when the goddess of light appears, the power to issue orders and the final right to interpret the orders are naturally handed over to her.

No matter how unreasonable the other party's orders were, those believers would definitely fulfill them for her.

If he, the Pope, dared to oppose or stop it, he would be directly labeled apostate.

Hope everything goes well...

Praying this in his heart, Elliot continued to wait for the reaction of the goddess of light.

“…Too ordinary.”

"…ha?"

Elliot, who was lowering his head, froze in place when he heard these inexplicable words, and resisted the urge to look up.

Is this the first sentence the Goddess of Light said after she appeared in the world?

Later history books would never write like this!

And even if it was recorded truthfully, I guess no one would believe it!

The dignified Goddess of Light, who, according to church records, embodies all virtues in the world, actually expressed her dislike for the poor environment of the Pope's Palace as her first statement.

Well... although this place is indeed quite simple, after all, it is to show that the Pope does not like luxury and waste.

"This place is too ordinary, totally unbecoming of my status as a god."

Although the voice of the Goddess of Light was as sweet as a lark, Elliot was already sweating coldly.

This was bad. The religious contamination that he was most worried about had happened.

What he is showing now should be the part about his love for luxury, which he can still handle. I hope there will be no other problems.

Thinking of this, Elliot quickly spoke to comfort her.

"Goddess, your residence is not here. Please wait a moment."

"Hmph, hurry up! You dare to make me wait? You are quite courageous."

"Yes."

After this unpleasant exchange, Elliot leaned back, lowered his head, and stepped out of the core area of ​​the Pope's Palace.

Before he closed the door, he saw the goddess of light looking at her tall statue, as if she wanted to do something.

Could it be that her target is that seed?

Although he had doubts in his mind, Elliot did not dare to pry any further.

The other party's strength is far superior to mine. If I continue to watch, he will find out. For now, I should find a way to meet his requirements as much as possible.

Then Elliot ordered a group of paladins to decorate the most luxurious mansion in the holy city with the momentum of emptying the treasury of the Holy Kingdom.

As for the original owner of the mansion, he was naturally asked to leave temporarily with a random excuse, but the original price was still paid.

There was no other way. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't tell anyone that the Goddess of Light liked luxury, so I could only find a way to conceal it.

However, when Elliot finished all these and returned to the core of the Pope's Palace to tell the Goddess of Light that her residence was ready, he was shocked by the scene before him.

The core of the Pope's Palace, which originally had only a tall statue in the center, has completely changed. Countless golden light spots are slowly floating in the air around the statue in the center, just like the stars in the night sky falling to the mortal world.

As for the original tall statue, it had undergone a complete transformation. Not only did it emit a faint glow, but a layer of hazy light was also added to its originally clearly visible face, making it appear even more mysterious.

It seems that our Lady Goddess of Light has taken advantage of the time just now to decorate this ordinary Pope's Palace in her eyes.

"too slow."

Seeing Elliot return, the Goddess of Light just glanced at him lightly, with a hint of displeasure in her words.

"Statues of this deity must be based on this. Ordinary statues completely degrade this deity."

"Yes, that's what you instructed."

"Hmph, let's go. You've made me wait so long for just a place to stay. If you can't satisfy me, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself."

"Don't worry, you won't be disappointed."

Hearing the other party say that he would bear the consequences at his own risk, Elliot groaned inwardly. The consequences of this faith pollution were too serious!!!

Not only does he enjoy a luxurious lifestyle, but he also seems to have a bit of an overindulgent personality. If I had known this earlier, I would have been more careful in selecting the power of faith.

But that might result in the opponent being unable to lower the light curtain to resist the black monster the moment it appears, which is a dilemma.

But now that the matter is done, it is too late to regret. We can only hope that the other party will not cause any more trouble.

§129 At this time, the protagonist is on the way to put out the fire

"..."

Looking at the most luxurious mansion in the Holy City, the Goddess of Light frowned slightly, seeming a little dissatisfied.

It was not until she pushed open the door of the mansion and saw the countless treasures displayed in the house that her face showed a bit of joy and a sense of self-righteousness.

Although it looked somewhat ordinary from the outside, the interior was quite to her liking, and resting here was just barely worthy of her status.

"Alright, please leave now. Do not disturb me without my permission."

Picking up a gold cup inlaid with precious gems and playing with it in her hands, the Goddess of Light gave an order to Elliot who was about to follow her into the house.

"…Yes."

Although he wanted to immediately ask the other party when he planned to solve the problem of the monster siege, Elliot suppressed his actions and nodded obediently.

The situation is stronger than the person. It is not advisable to stimulate her again before you have completely stabilized her.

Judging from the other person's personality, any words that lean towards command are likely to cause dissatisfaction in the other person.

If all else fails, let the believers pray collectively, hoping that the Goddess of Light can take action to destroy those monsters. After all, she is a being born from the power of faith, and the prayers from the believers may prompt her to take action.

"By the way, remember to send a few beautiful girls to serve this god."

Just as Elliot was about to leave, a command from the crack in the door almost made the old man stumble.

Besides his love of luxury and his indulgent personality, could it be that he also has a bit of lust?!

It's really terrible...

Fortunately, her target was a woman, otherwise Elliot would have exploded on the spot.

"…Yes."

Elliot squeezed out a "yes" with difficulty and left the door of the mansion reluctantly.

So the question is, how can he find a few girls in the Holy City, a place where every person is a devout believer, who can remain reserved in front of the Goddess of Light and not go straight for her?

Haha… the road ahead is full of ups and downs…

Speaking of which, the commotion he caused in order to recall the core was quite big, and it must have been seen by both the Empire and the Blood Clan. I hope nothing unexpected will happen.

The Holy Kingdom cannot afford the consequences of having another foreign enemy.

As for what Eve is doing right now, far away in the defense line of the Fallen Plain...

She is busy putting out fires all over the continent.

Shortly after receiving the news that the entire human race except the Holy Church had fallen, distress signals of abyssal eruptions suddenly came from all over the continent, totaling to dozens.

Without exception, these abysses erupted near large cities, and there were no signs before they appeared. Some even appeared directly inside the cities, catching the cities off guard. By the time the distress signal was sent out, there had already been heavy casualties.

The most unfortunate cities with abysses inside them completely lost contact shortly after sending out distress signals, and seemed to have been completely destroyed.

So Eve, who had just solved the problem on the Fallen Plains front and was the only one on the continent who could eradicate the abyss, had to once again play the role of a firefighter and run around.

brush--

As a space crack appeared in the sky, Eve's figure appeared above a city that was seeking help, overlooking the city below where countless abyss monsters were wreaking havoc and it was almost half-destroyed.
