"Haha, that old man of the Pope, after hearing the news, suddenly ran back in such a panic, this is the first time I have seen it......"

The princess waited quietly. She heard the king's voice draw closer.

"Ah...... But I don't know what Mr. Zero is thinking...... I suddenly ran back to the Great Holy Church or something...... It's a bit incomprehensible. My dear duke, what do you think he is going to do as his father?"

Even to his son-in-law, the king still called "Mr. Zero" without any sense of disobedience.

But the princess suddenly felt a chill to her bones.

Miscellaneous......

Why、Mr. Zero will send it to the door himself?

In this way, even if he really "usurped power", can he have time to help him......

The duke's voice rang out: "I'm really sorry, Your Majesty, I can't know. Because he is not 'we' people, he has been living alone as a scholar and a university professor. But after all, there are considerations of their own. Even if he didn't know if he did the Great Sanctuary incident, since he came to the door by himself, he must have wanted and had a way to solve something. ”

"But that's fine," the king shook his head and nodded, "and we won't have to go and face the Holy See directly." Let's just wait for the news. ”

"We're all getting old, and the next era is more and more about handing over to children and trusting them. ”

"......," the princess shuddered.

Listening to them, they would not have accepted the Holy See's request for assistance in the first place.

But what about the appearance he showed in front of him before?

The princess seemed to have figured out a lot of things in an instant.

The ensuing embarrassment almost broke her.

Anna, the maid on the side of the "princess ......", couldn't help but remind her.

“...... Sister Anna, please. The princess said weakly, "All ...... All of them are revoked...... Even if it succeeds, it makes no sense......"

"......," the maid sighed.

The spirit of the princess seems to be gradually becoming broken.

I don't even have the heart to deal with the tail of the hand.

But for the safety of her master, she has to find a way to help clean everything up.

Otherwise, the crime of treason is unbearable. Even if the princess herself said that it was not a rebellion......

At the same time, she made up her mind that she must find a way to contact the "Mr. Zero". A child as pure as the princess should not be dyed black or even crazy because of that mysterious man.

...... Listening to the sound of the maid going away, the princess deeply felt that she was really just a "child".

And with that comes deep regret.

No matter how much he shows that he hates his father, he is still his father.

And her rationality told herself that her mother's death really had nothing to do with her father...... Although the sensibility is still screaming from time to time.

What I really hate is my stepmother, the stepmother who treated me poorly when I was young.

But then again, the sudden improvement in her attitude towards herself in recent years really made the princess wonder if she was planning something terrible.

But there is no evidence.

But I betrayed my father exactly this time...... Although it has not really betrayed yet.

But he really almost betrayed his father for the sake of his lover...... If Mr. Zero hadn't suddenly returned to the Great Chapel.

Especially the fact that the father trusts him so much makes the girl's heart full of remorse.

"Woo......" she covered her head.

But now, no amount of shame can change what has happened.

This thought popped into her mind:

Fortunately, Mr. Zero made the matter of "going to the Great Holy Hall" so in time......

......

The saint poked her head out of the window.

The windowsill, of course, was also full of guards.

But she saw a familiar figure standing quietly across the ruins in the distance.

"Zero...... Why did he ......, Mr. Zero?" she murmured.

As if sensing her gaze, Mr. Zero looked in her direction and smiled slightly.

But the saint herself hurriedly retracted her head and closed the window.

Soon, the Pope arrived.

But at such a fast speed, it's obvious that it's not a normal means.

Maybe like the light gate that Neil used to transport me before?

But if you don't have the support of divine power, can that thing still be used......

The Pope came to Mr. Zero and looked at him with anger.

"Ah, what about your holy lady, why don't you see her come out?" asked Mr. Zero knowingly with a smile, ignoring the Pope's gaze.

"We will not allow the holy daughter of God to see you again, to be seduced by you as a demon. Pope Francis said.

“...... Don't you want your god to 'get back to health' sooner?"

“...... What do you say?"

"If you want to, hurry up and call your holy maiden. ”

......

In the ruins of the Great Church.

The top of the Holy See gathered. Ah, except for Deputy Judge Neil, perhaps.

Still smiling gently without pressure, Mr. Zero, the Holy Maiden, and the Pope stood in a triangular position, surrounding the former "altar" in the middle.

"O our God,

May people all consecrate your name.

Thy kingdom come upon the earth,

May thy will reach the four wildernesses,

as walking in heaven.

All the things we use daily,

and it shall be given to us.

Forgive our sins,

Just as we should forgive the sins of others.

that we will not be embarrassed,

Deliver us from bitterness.

For all is yours in the kingdom and in the power and in the glory.

Forever.

May God be forever!"

The Pope led the recitation.

So the surrounding priests also chanted in a low voice.

"My lord, the sinner who calls himself Mr. Zero has come.

He stood before the Lord's sanctuary and asked for a glimpse of God's face.

He claimed to have thoughts to reach God:

He is disrespectful and arrogant.

But if the Lord wants to share in the glory of the gift,

Listen to the prayers of this mortal man. ”

The Holy Maiden prayed after the Pope and uttered these words to God.

Finally, there was Mr. Zero, who just watched it all calmly and whispered:

"God, don't you want to see me? I'm here with what you need. ”

Just as the surrounding clerics were about to rebuke each other for their disrespect, a light flashed directly above the altar, like an apocalypse.

Mr. Zero then lay down on the altar for the second time.

However, what the Holy Maiden was thinking at the moment was: it is great that Mr. Zero can come here at this time.

She looked at the many people around her who were familiar and who were with her.

Because of Mr. Zero's accident, they were temporarily released after being arrested overnight.

Mr. Zero even said that they would definitely be back to the way things were.

Almost the same thought came to her:

Fortunately, Mr. Zero made the matter of "coming to the Great Holy Hall" so in such a timely manner......

......

"Yo, long time no see, dear 'God'. ”

Mr. Zero greeted the glorious humanoid in front of him like an old friend.

However, the god on the other side has long since lost the glow of the last time we met.

The brilliance of the human form dimmed, only the core still shone, but the strength was visibly weakened.

Threads of red-black flesh and silver-white steel invaded from the ends of the humanoid and penetrated deep into his body, tentatively reaching out to the core.

Thankfully, the endless battle between the two threads slowed down their erosion—but it wasn't good for God either, as the small explosions that collided and canceled out still weakened Him.

However, God is God after all, and even so, Mr. Zero is faced with a tremendous pressure that normal anomalies cannot exude.

"Why do you want to do this?" said God without emotion.

"Why......" Mr. Zero looked around. His kingdom of God seemed to be being destroyed by two strange forces, and the angels were forced to huddle to hide where God's wings could barely shelter.

The gates of the kingdom were half covered with rust, and half were almost disgusting flesh and blood.

"You should have known that I didn't really have any far-reaching malice in summoning you. God continued.

"Yes, yes, no malice...... But how can you be sure I know? I'm just an ordinary lady, what's wrong with being scared to be taken away by God with sudden violence?" Mr. Zero said disapprovingly, as he continued to carefully observe everything around him, including God himself.

"And if you think so, your followers don't necessarily think you don't have a bad feeling for me. The church in the mortal world is still very powerful. ”

He saw two forces entrenched in the kingdom of God, one faintly a blood-colored mass of amorphous monsters, and the other a huge ...... made up of countless fragmented mechanical parts. Angelic things, or robots?

These two uninvited guests are almost divided into the kingdom of God by God himself.

"No, you're so special. Of course you know. You're not hostile to me, but why would you do that?" God remained calm.

"Ah...... Why...... Mr. Zero was still absent-minded, and he thought of the scene at that time.

God also sensed the threat of danger and closed the door to the kingdom of God. However, he opened up and fought against two strange tides of power, saving the remaining people of the Great Templar.

"Ah, let me ask you first: God, why did you open the portal again?"

God seemed to understand what the other person was asking, but he showed a look of confusion that he was also puzzled about:

Yes, as a god, why would I risk my life to save those mortals who are as small as dust?
