**You are using DLC ​​– Pope>. The interface can be checked using the “Denomination” command.

“In the end, nothing has changed, right?”

I frowned as I looked at the status window that popped up in front of me.

At the beginning of the return, something appeared in the window, which was full of blank spaces.

The problem is that the only thing that replaced it was '?' That was all.

Still, it seems like the abilities and special abilities I have are roughly indicated.

In particular, when I looked at the level 7 faith> and the level 2 doctrine interpretation>, it seemed like they were clearly synchronized properly.

However, there is one element that we didn't see in Eden.

It's a disposition > a square labeled Chaos Zen >, and I need to know what it is.

I don't think it's a bad thing to see that they have increased the causality limit allowed for me. Of course, I still can't fathom the extent of the causality given to me.

"I'm dizzy."

I took a moment to see what had happened to me, then slid the message window shut.

There were no noticeable changes.

There's only one thing, and I'm worried about the 2nd update > written at the bottom of the status window.

It must have been a snarky word, but there was nothing he knew right now.

So what can I do? Stick to it for now.

Just as I was thinking about this and that, Leo put his hand to his one-eyed glasses.

"What are they going to do?"

"I don't know."

The "them" Leo referred to were other players who had been watching us from afar.

They all looked at us rigidly.

What makes them unique is that they are divided into two groups based on a fairly large abandoned building located in the center.

Apparently, they are players from a large guild that is said to be fighting in Ground Zero.

I looked at the two of them, pondered for a moment, and then stopped Leo from running out at once.

"You don't seem to have any intention of fighting, so why bother?"

"For the safety of His Holiness, it is necessary to remove all hazards. They are the ones who saw injustice but did not fight with it. I don't think it's credible."

It was a statement of Leo's personality, but I waved my hand and said:

"If you become a priest and take it out of the fist, you'll be bitter. Let's do what you say this time."

"Are you all right?"

"Yes. You're just keeping a good eye on that scum here. You never know who's going to steal it."

I pointed with my chin at Yoo Se-hyuk and the 'human papers' sprawled on the floor.

Leo replied, taking a Bible from his bosom with his left hand.

"If it is Your Holiness' will, I will do it."

These are the ones who will be handed over as a gift to the Ministry of Intelligence.

He would probably leave it alone and let them try to erase all traces of it.

Leo understood what I meant, so I nodded without saying a word, and I patted him on the back and walked forward.

It didn't seem like there was any need to find out where the Gemstone Mine was.

There was a pretty much amount of mana coming from behind where the two groups of players were sitting.

And that wasn't all.

The Maggi that Leo and I felt as we entered Ground Zero was also being felt from there.

“Brothers and sisters, I’m telling you both to cheer up. Never mind."

I lightly waved my hand and then looked back at the magicite mine.

There was no need to enter the magicite mine.

This is because it was possible to determine how much magic gemstone was buried here just by feeling the magic power.

“Hmm.”

Since you said that the highest grade magicite is mined, is this level of horsepower equivalent to approximately 7 tons?

I'm not sure how much magic gemstone was buried in the beginning, but the fact that there were 7 tons of top-grade magic gemstone remaining was very good news to me.

If it were an ordinary mineral, 7 tons would not be as much as a real fingernail, but if it was a top-quality magicite, the story would be different.

If it were Eden, it would probably have been possible to participate in the auction at every magic tower on the continent.

It is easy to understand if you think that the weight of top-grade magic stones consumed by a medium-sized magic tower per year is approximately 700 kg.

“The reserves are acceptable.”

Magic gemstone is not just an ore needed by wizards.

Fundamentally, magical power is energy in its purest form.

And what they are made of by coming together is a magic stone, which has very unique properties.

When touched by divine power, the magic stone changes into an ore containing divine power called “holy stone.”

The opposite is also true. When magical energy is contained, the magic stone changes into a magic stone.

“Just like now.”

I couldn't help but frown at the magical energy I felt from the upper levels of the mine.

As I got closer, I began to feel demon energy, a very familiar demon energy at that.

This is the same magic that Yeoju's doppelganger and the lich that appeared in Guro-gu last time also possessed.

The Magi that I indirectly confirmed from them was only a deep-seated one, but I could be sure that it was this blatant and pure Magi.

“The devil of pride?”

Of the seven demon kings of Eden, he was the one I tore apart first.

The devil of pride.

He was the one who ignited the flame and reduced every last piece of his flesh to ashes, and his magical energy was clearly felt in this mine.

No, to put it accurately, the demonic energy of pride was slowly encroaching on the magicite mine.

This seems to have been the cause of the demonic energy that Leo and I felt earlier as we entered Ground Zero.

I spoke to Oh-seong and Hye-rim with a furrowed brow.

“Has anyone been in the mine recently?”

If it has only encroached to this extent so far, it means that the encroachment of demon energy has begun relatively recently.

However, they both answered my question by shaking their heads at the same time.

"doesn't exist."

“Mining was temporarily suspended.”

“Oh my.”

There's nothing to be disappointed about because you didn't have any expectations in the first place.

“It won’t work.”

Originally, I was planning to look around a bit more and decide, but due to the demonic energy of pride, I had to revise my plan. This is because a magic stone that has been turned into a magic stone cannot be made into a sacred stone.

After making a quick decision, I took out the Rimen's Token that I had kept in my pocket.

Oooooh!

Rimen's Token began to emit light violently in response to the demonic energy of pride, and Mr. Oh-seong and Mr. Hye-rim, who saw it, asked me with puzzled eyes.

"what... ... “Is this what you want to do?”

“Siwoo?”

This is why I don't like quick-witted people.

Instead of answering their questions, I grabbed Remen's token.

Then a message window appeared in front of me.

You can use [Item Remen's Token] to declare a sanctuary in the current area. Would you like to declare sanctuary?]

“I declare sanctuary.”

[The area is declared a sanctuary.]

The sacred power emitted from the “Token of Limen” shot up into the sky, and divine power began to pour from the sky like snow.

A sight so brilliant and beautiful that it blinds your eyes.

A ray of light that can only be described as sacred falls on the collapsed ruins.

Mr. Oh-seong and Mr. Hye-rim were looking at the scene with a loss of energy, and I too was looking at the beautiful scene and saying happily.

“I have decided to dedicate this place to Limen.”

At my words, they instantly came back to reality and immediately opened their eyes and looked at me.

“... ... yes?"

“What is that... ... .”

I ended my conversation with a subtle smile at their reactions.

“Limen wants this land. As a follower of Him, I really have no choice. haha."
