The church where Gaige and Ainspenser had exchanged vows was a simple and small countryside chapel. Its walls were not even constructed from concrete, and the entire church appeared unassuming, except for the meticulously crafted altar, where the church had invested its limited resources. However, the unpretentious chapel suddenly vanished, and what Gaige now gazed upon was no longer a modest church. It had transformed into a colossal structure reminiscent of the cathedrals typically found in cities. The roof, once concealed by the forest's trees, now towered above even the massive woodland giants. "Motherf***ers!" Gaige cursed, realizing that the larger the church, the greater the responsibility he would bear. He pressed the accelerator, all the while silently praying that it was merely a newly constructed church with no followers yet. To his dismay, the church was teeming with people, packed with devotees both inside and outside its doors. "Everyone, get out!" he yelled as he bec

[Angels are all emotionless and...] "Stop," Gaige interjected as soon as the Akashic records began their storytelling. He vividly recalled that the Akashic records had a tedious and overly dramatic manner of narrating stories. They employed an excess of flowery language, and Gaige's patience had worn thin when he'd encountered this during Ellise's Akashic record session. He had no intention of subjecting himself to a similar experience again. It seemed as though the Akashic Records used such an approach to elicit sympathy from the listener, but for Gaige, it only served to bore and irritate him. [Cancel the Akashic record?] [Note: Keys are not refundable.] "No. I still want to know about Andy's record, but I'm too lazy to listen. Put it on mute at my end, and you listen to it, Adal. Just give me the summary later," he reluctantly said. [Assessing request…] "Stop faking that you're doing well at your job. Just do what I said." [Assessing request…] "Whatever, wake me up once you

[Warning: Killing Earthlings is not allowed.] [You'll be penalized.] Gaige simply rolled his eyes at Adal's system warning. He doesn't intend to kill anyone, not even the grade schoolers. He may have looked like someone recklessly wreaking havoc inside the elementary school, but in fact, all his movements are calculated. [You have shot an Earthling] [+1 Penalty] [You have shot an Earthling] [+1 Penalty] [You have shot an Earthling] [+1 Penalty] [You have shot an Earthling] [+1 Penalty] [Notice: All skills are disabled.] It only caused Gaige to laugh at the system. There is no such huge effect as him losing access to his skills because he can simply use his divine powers. While the four thug-like men dropped to the ground one by one, Gaige's black hair slowly turned into its holy-looking blond color. He then approached the four men, who were rolling on the ground in pain, and made them scream more in pain when he grabbed them directly on their wounds. "Never get yourse

Back in Aogriv, the return of Minka, Rowan, Straz, and Howl with Gaige and Ainspenser at their residence took everyone by surprise. The expectation had been that the four would be taken to Ademordna or the Sky God Church, yet they were back at their residence as if it had been a brief excursion. Eric displayed the most evident dissatisfaction with their return. He immediately approached Gaige, asking, "Why are they here again?" with no concern for whether the four could overhear his displeasure. "A lot happened. I forgot to drop them off somewhere else," Gaige replied with reluctance. He patted Eric's shoulder as he reminded him, "In any case, that's the least of your concerns," a statement that conveyed a deeper meaning Eric was well aware of. "I know. We've also informed the others about the upcoming hunt," Eric grunted. He cast a pointed glare at the four before turning around and sitting down to discuss the impending hunt with the other purgers. Antur, who sat beside Eric, was

Gaige returned to the church he had once destroyed. He didn't anticipate that he would feel regret for his actions, and he certainly didn't expect the church to be of any assistance to him. In his eyes, the church had been more of a burden than anything else. "Saint Gaige, welcome back," the head priest greeted him, despite Gaige's previous request not to use the title. It vexed Gaige that the priest continued to address him in this manner. "How long will the repairs take?" Gaige inquired as he made a full bow in front of the altar, which was essentially the only part of the church that remained standing. Referring to it as "repairs" felt almost shameless, given that the church intended to rebuild the entire structure. "It will take more than a month, Saint," the priest replied. Gaige clicked his tongue in frustration. He recognized that his role as a saint would prove useful in his pursuit of revenge this time, but it would be rendered useless without a church to serve.
