I'm a magnetic field madman

You want to be Romans? Then I'll fucking smash your empire to pieces! You want to persecute my people? Then I'll fucking send you to hell!

No matter how the world tries to smear him, with his incredibly tough attitude and incomprehensible "divine power," Jesus Christ became an object that neither side in the conflict wanted to provoke!

With this, Italy achieved the neutrality it desired, and the Russian submarine force and NATO's naval fleet preferred to bypass Sardinia rather than dock in the vicinity.

And Italy, naturally, became the only "heaven" in Europe.

Vatican City, Rome

Rome, which suffered devastation in the first wave of nuclear attacks and was almost entirely destroyed, has now been rebuilt around the Vatican as a new urban area.

Of course, although it's called a metropolitan area, it's nothing more than a collection of hastily constructed buildings for temporary use, the former imperial capital...

What appears today is not only devoid of any cultural beauty, but is instead filled with the ugliness of congestion and restlessness.

Even so, countless people still flock to Rome every day with a pilgrimage mentality.

Most of them were looking for a safe place, while others were making a pilgrimage to their holy son.

Perhaps they hoped that when their inevitable death came, they would be allowed to go to heaven.

The city of Rome was flooded with more than eight figures of newcomers, to the point that some buildings had to be built higher and higher. Traffic congestion, serious sanitation problems, and chaotic conflict... all of this made this so-called holy city devoid of any sacred or solemn atmosphere.

And what was Jesus Christ, the central figure in all of this, thinking?

As always, Jesus Christ, who brought back a group of refugees at this midday hour, sat on the throne of the former pope, head bowed, letting the shadow fall on his face, without uttering a word.

This is one of the things he does most often each day.

As if his buttocks were glued to the chair, Jesus Christ spent most of the 24 hours a day sitting here with his eyes closed in deep thought.

But this holy son is definitely not a lazy bum who sits there slacking off.

He was using his abilities to expand his perception to ensure that no truly heinous incidents would occur throughout Rome.

The magnetic field power, amplified by the thorn crown on his head, amplified his perception to an unparalleled degree, more than enough to cover the entirety of Rome and even further beyond, and every movement within that range could not escape his mind.

The reason I was able to sense the refugee caravan on the Milan border was for this reason; however, the range of my perception after leaving Rome was too far, so I could only have a superficial "feeling".

But precisely because of this, Jesus Christ's mindset was also changing day by day.

Even though he remained unchanged in his attitude, still so kind to the world... the intense agitation gradually stirred up the deepest thoughts in his heart.

tyranny and murderous intent

This is undoubtedly an idea that runs counter to the Lord's teachings, a cruel idea. But Jesus Christ has more than once longed to end this world war with a direct and brutal massacre!

He knew he could do it, and he had the ability to do it.

Whether he goes to the top of the Kremlin or the sky above the White House, he could probably end this war with his own power in less than a day.

But what happens after that?

An unwilling loser might launch all nuclear weapons... but he cannot guarantee that he can intercept all nuclear missiles, and after the war is ended by his own force, what should be done with the defeated side?

To put it bluntly, even Jesus Christ himself didn't know which side to take action against.

The two sides currently embroiled in war, the two major military organizations, or rather the two superpowers behind them, are all bad news.

The crazed red bear is waging wars abroad and is insanely trying to drag the whole world down with it.

Either I conquer Europe and reunify the world, or the whole world goes to hell with me!

As for internal problems, even Jesus Christ wouldn't bother to talk about the crumbling giant bear... You have to understand that many of those who fled to Rome were originally from the giant bear.

The behavior and existence of the Red Bear can be described as evil, so what about the Beacon of Freedom on the other side?

If we're talking about which side is worse, it's really a matter of two equally bad apples. The Lighthouse may not be as mad as the Bear, but the biggest reason the Bear is teetering on the brink of collapse is precisely because of the dirty tricks they've secretly played.

If the giant bear is a drunkard who went mad before dying from an incurable disease, then the lighthouse is the scoundrel who secretly poisoned the drunkard!

Neither side was truly wicked, and Jesus Christ himself was unsure which side he should help.

If both are evil, killing one side will only allow the other side to grow stronger. Neither of them can be considered the people of Jesus Christ as required by Him.

That's fucking terrible, nowhere near worthy of being called "yum"!

Choosing to remain neutral and observe is just like what we're doing now...

Jesus Christ also knew that he was merely watching the war continue to consume more lives around the world.

It wasn't that he was inactive, but rather that he couldn't provide the answer he wanted. He also worried that if he intervened and escalated the conflict, he might be accelerating the world's destruction, making it impossible for him to save what he could have saved…

Therefore, Jesus Christ must admit that the violent thoughts in his heart increased over time, just like his own pressure.

The trust of those believers, the pressure to support their survival, the effort required to protect them, the effort required to maintain peace among them...

Furthermore, witnessing the world inevitably heading towards self-destruction due to humanity's own folly, the helplessness he felt only deepened the tyrannical and murderous intent in Jesus Christ's heart!

Tyranny and murderous intent—that's undoubtedly a "devilish feeling," a terrible feeling that can suppress the good thoughts in your heart!

He shouldn't have such thoughts; the idea of ​​suppressing compassion should never arise.

Jesus Christ constantly reminded himself to suppress these feelings, to suppress his murderous intent and anger.

Therefore, he chose to remain still and only help those he could. This was because he was unaware of the consequences of acting rashly and was even more afraid of unleashing the demons within him.

He feared that the benevolent voice of the "Lord" in his heart would disappear and turn into the voice of the devil.

Because he doesn't know what he would do if he were completely dominated by this feeling of pleasure...

At that moment, he suddenly remembered Andrewsson, and perhaps only then did Jesus Christ understand... the reason for his inexplicable anger towards Andrewsson.

He might be jealous of Andersen.

Jealousy of his true self is so simple that there is no need to think about these complicated things; one only needs to follow the voice of "the Lord".

With a rhythmic sound of footsteps, Kirei Kotomine, now dressed in his black priest's robes, arrived before his Lord. Looking at his Holy Son, who remained seated in meditation with his eyes closed as always, Kirei Kotomine slightly pursed his lips…

This great Lord found many things rather boring.

Despite possessing such immense power, he finds no joy in life, much like any ordinary person.

But that's alright.

A powerful but boring master can't bring Kirei Kotomine the happiness he seeks, but can help him "create" happiness.

"Your Majesty, I have brought you more bad news."

Kirei Kotomine knelt before the Holy Son, reporting in a cheerful voice...

35. Pleasant pressure

Management is an art, whether it's managing a bunch of brainless pigs or managing a group of intelligent people—and managing the latter is obviously more difficult.

A large influx of refugees, who shouldn't have been there, has arrived in Italy...

The sheer number of conflicts and chaos brewing from such a massive population is enough to send chills down your spine.

Even Jesus Christ could only stop major heinous incidents such as murder, rape, and gang fights, but he had neither the ability nor the time to gradually stop minor conflicts and incidents.

So all these things fell on his followers.

Fortunately, these people who voluntarily followed the Lord were mostly of good character, and there was no shortage of talented individuals from all walks of life. Although it was indeed difficult to operate, they managed to maintain a basic level of dignity and order.

However, as the influx of refugees increases, even if the area is expanded beyond Rome, beyond the regions where God cannot perfectly mediate, chaos will inevitably return.

This is why intelligent people are harder to manage than brainless pigs.

Although pigs are stupid, their lack of intelligence is actually an advantage that makes them easy to manage.

Intelligent people, on the contrary, are driven by their wisdom and desires to do the most foolish things.

Every day, even every hour, something happens that sends blood pressure soaring.

Some things cannot be simply described as good or evil. Such is the kind of evil that is forced by cruel reality—it may violate the law, but it may be morally justifiable.

For example, a mother selling her daughter, who is under fourteen years old, to a philologist as his wife is undoubtedly a despicable act that must be stopped...

But this mother sold her daughter because she couldn't afford to support herself and her daughter.

Having fled here, she had no skills to support herself and could only survive for a while on relief food... but in the long run, she and her daughter could starve to death at any time.

If that's the case, why not sell my daughter to a relatively reliable man... to obtain a guarantee for my daughter and myself to survive by violating the law?

If you encounter such a problem, what should you do?

If the judge were impartial and incorruptible, they would naturally sentence the mother and the man to their due punishment...

But they are not judges; they are followers of the Son, and the Son’s requirement of them is to “do good.”

To obstruct a mother and daughter's efforts to ensure their survival is an act of extreme cruelty.

Since a judgment cannot be made, the only recourse is to let it occur.

And this kind of thing that causes blood pressure to spike is not an isolated case, but there are many, many more, and even more outrageous ones.

When the pressure to survive leads people to defy the law in order to survive, are such people evil?

The law is the bottom line of morality, but in order to survive, humans are always able to constantly redefine their own bottom line.

Whenever these problems arose, the followers of Jesus Christ would report them to their Son.

Because this is what the Son of God requires; he needs to know the ugliness and the reasons behind it all.

And clearly, these followers of Jesus Christ are not willing to do such a thing.

They did not want to see their holy son grieving and distressed because of the actions of mortals, which gave them a great sense of blasphemy.

At that moment, a young man volunteered to take on this terrible but necessary job.

Kirei Kotomine, one of the Lord's earliest followers, is a taciturn but reliable and resolute man... He resolutely became a bridge for communication between the Son of God and the people.

Of course, only Kirei Kotomine himself probably knew that while other believers found reporting bad news that saddened the Holy Son a form of torture, he saw it as something else entirely—

That was simply the ultimate enjoyment.

Damn it, what other clergyman in this world can torment his faith like Kirei Kotomine? No one, absolutely no one!

Kirei Kotomine is like a scorpion pooping—a one-of-a-kind existence!

Because that's just who he is. As a clergyman, Kirei Kotomine is a being who is too innocent to be described as a villain. He is a monster who was born to bloom with the flower of evil.

Exceptional talent, unwavering spirit, and a will to endure hardship... yet he was utterly unable to find joy in anything in this world...

His empty soul was utterly incapable of perceiving joy in anything that the world considered heartwarming.

The only thing is the suffering of others.

Kirei Kotomine's happiness can only come from the suffering of others... When he appreciates human tragedy, appreciates human suffering, and sees scenes that ordinary people cannot bear to watch and cannot feel pity for, Kirei Kotomine feels—

Supreme happiness

Actually, it can't be called some kind of incredible quirk or liking... After all, the core of drama is tragedy, and turning tragedy into pleasure for the audience is a very common thing.

If humans cannot derive joy from suffering, then where is the comedy to appreciate?

Moreover, there are things like hellish jokes, and there are plenty of people all over the world who enjoy them...

The only unique thing about Kirei Kotomine is that he can only find joy in hellish jokes.

Following Jesus Christ, Kirei Kotomine, who had not yet understood his own heart, thought he would find the answer to the question that had been puzzling him all along from the "Lord," and in the end, he did find it.

He felt only disgust while his father and other followers were moved and happy by the Lord's good deeds and salvation.

But Kirei Kotomine felt joy when he witnessed those vivid human tragedies.

Or rather, he didn't simply enjoy hellish jokes, but rather the pleasure of seeing humanity tested when creating scenes of human tragedy.

If Jesus Christ hadn't been there, he might have even had the absurd idea of ​​making the already tragic situation even more miserable—

Undoubtedly, he once felt evil and despicable because of this, but now he has accepted himself.

Ultimately, even without that destined "mentor"...

This priest, who knows his own true nature, will one day embark on the same path.

Right now, Kirei Kotomine is immersed in a huge vortex of happiness.

The tragedy caused by nuclear war has filled the world with suffering. He doesn't need to deliberately search for it; anywhere is a paradise for him!

But he soon grew tired of this kind of pleasure... because he felt that he might find more enjoyment in personally creating suffering than in appreciating it.

The feeling of meticulously crafting a perfect "work" is a kind of exhilarating sensation that makes his little chubby penis stand up just by thinking about it, an unprecedented joy.

Ah, that was so incredibly pleasurable, I couldn't help but fucking climax!
