Regressor Instruction Manual

Chapter 425: Winner And Loser (1)

I had to revise the details, but it didn't matter much if I would decide to go with the basic framework.

There were also other parts to be considered, but the rough foundation was already in place.

Lee Jihye and my lovely son, the museum manager, Max, had last checked out a few months ago, so it should be ready to open before Benignore's stupidity could affect the continent.

I couldn't help but move joyfully.

As I slowly opened the door, I felt the gazes of those pacing back and forth with anxious faces gathered instantly.

The first face I could see was Pope Basel's.

Archbishop Jaina and the Director of Inquisition Helena were together, and the way they both came running and held my hands made me step back unconsciously.

Of course, I was feeling good at the same time. I could accept this situation to some extent.

"Honorary Cardinal! Did you hear... Benignore's voice?"

'Yes, I heard. That stupid bitch has decided to ruin everything here. Don't believe in Benignore, Pope.'

I wanted to say that, but I couldn't. It didn't matter if I told the Church the general story.

"Yes. I definitely heard it. Actually, I don't remember it well, but... I remember faintly communicating with her."

"Is that true?"

"Yes. In fact... That's the first time I have ever received trust in this way, and I am sorry to have kept you waiting, Pope Basel."

"No, no. You were spending time with the Goddess, weren't you? More importantly... What did she say? Is she okay?"

"In fact..."

"Ah, it must be bad news."

"Yes. It's definitely not good news."

"Ho... Ho... Something happened to the Goddess, that's what you mean?"

"It's not enough to worry about. The Goddess is still safe. But she warned us of possible anomalies all over the continent, starting with this."

"What do you mean?"

"I heard that Benignore and the other continental gods are in a very weak state right now. As Pope Basel already knows, the reason behind it is that the power of demons rooted in the continent is already harming the continent's vital force. The demonic minions, which have not yet disappeared, are taking their place across the continent and threatening this sacred land."

"Those... those... those damn bastards..."

Watching Pope Basel tremble made me feel like he would lead the Holy Knights immediately and rush to exterminate the evil forces.

'I guess it's not all that bad.'

I knew Pope Basel trusted me, but I didn't think it would be to this extent.

Perhaps the previous Goddess descent incident was a decisive factor towards that trust of his.

'It's not strange, though.'

I had proven that the Goddess Benignore had entered my body and communicated through Light Kiyoung. It would be strange for him not to believe I had a few conversations with her.

'I can use this, too.'

Thinking about it, I realized there was no need to rush the museum.

Although most dungeons had been blocked, there were many heroic-grade and legendary-grade dungeons on the continent. The dungeons were where all the demon officials were hiding.
