Chapter 116
『Waaaaaaaaaaaaah hahahahaha. Today! M-My faaaavorite safdashjk-chan’s sw-sw-swordjgfdlkbt!!!』
After reading this, Caravis’s cult Father, Gildar, closed the supreme holy scripture quietly. Presently, he was not situated in the underground citadel of Caravis’s cult. Instead, he was in a shop tucked in a corner of a city.
In a private room at the back of the shop, Gildar had spread out the scripture early in the morning to check if the writings had increased. This was the oldest piece of scripture handed down from their founding god, the evil god Caravis. Moreover, it was a piece of scripture that transcripted Caravis’s thoughts automatically.
This particular item was an outrageous holy treasure that allowed mere, puny humans on earth to presumptuously comprehend the thoughts of the great evil god of the demon realm. However, Caravis’s thoughts that were automatically related through this piece of scripture could easily be summarized as the silly ramblings of a daydreamer. No matter how much one tried to read or interpret these words, they failed to enlighten the reader’s soul in any way.
When Gildar first laid his eyes on this piece of scripture—an item that only each generation of Fathers was permitted to access—he was forced to recognize the true nature of it, which almost shattered his faith.
As time passed, Gildar would browse this piece of scripture from time to time. Each instance he noticed the same nonsensical writings before him, he would feel his faith being tested. However, Gildar was unaware that the speed at which these scribblings appeared had hastened compared to when the previous Fathers were in possession of this item.
Naturally, the reason for this change was Caravis’s reunion with her reincarnated friend and most beloved Dran. Moreover, her maternal nature had also been awakened after her meeting with her forgotten and abandoned child, Lenia.
Such knowledge would be of no use to Gildar anyway. On the other hand, the disparity between Caravis’s real nature and the descriptions of her passed down through the cult might even cause Gildar to lose all faith in the god he worshipped.
No matter how sacred this item was, it was impossible for humans to fully comprehend the minds of gods. Hence, Gildar failed to grasp the entirety of the contents transcribed as well.
Regardless, Caravis seemed to be in high spirits at the moment, which would likely lead to outbreaks of disasters, great confusion, and misfortune in many worlds. Gildar understood this much.
「Almighty Caravis, I see that you have decided not to torture the foolish pagans of this world, but cast me in misery first…. Sob sob sob…」
Gildar was genuinely starting to mull over whether he should end his term as Father right away, leave the role to his successor, and spend the rest of his life with the old man manning the shoe shop out in the front.
The scissor is pretty noticeable in this one.
