Episode 186. The World of True Faith
I thought.
There will be some additional action from the Gaia Church.
The action came shortly thereafter.
Bishop Namgung Ham of the Korean branch of the Gaia Church came forward to explain the situation to the public.
– The recent interview between Father Ahn Su-hwan and Father Kim Jeong-nam is different from the position of the church.
– The church also has no idea why the two priests made such remarks, and they have currently cut off contact and are in hiding.
– We, the Korean branch of the Gaia Church, do not reject the Korean Hunter Association.
– I want to coexist with you.
Well, it was just plain tail-cutting.
Of course, in this case, the head has never really given orders to the tail… .
– Bullshit lol
– Who the hell believes that kind of stuff?
– It’s disappointing. How can you so easily cast out a fellow believer just because of one mistake?
Public opinion was cold.
To someone who didn’t know the full context, it might have sounded like nonsense, but work was being done on it.
“Mr. Chairman. What is the public’s reaction?”
“It’s working out just as expected. I don’t think you need to worry.”
“It was worth all the hard work burning firewood.”
“Haha. Before I met you, the thing I put the most effort into was controlling the media, so of course.”
The head of the Mujinju family and the current president of the Korean Hunter Association.
Additionally, he is the leader of the secret group ‘Liberty’, which is anti-Gaia cult.
Joo Chang-ik’s ability was outstanding.
Thanks to this, I was able to improve many of the areas that I had not been able to take care of, and I was able to easily gain the upper hand in this public opinion war.
Suddenly, Frill asked.
【But isn’t manipulation a bad thing? They’re getting cursed at for things they didn’t even do!】
As to whether this type of manipulation of public opinion is really right.
Of course, there was no pangs of conscience.
“If you don’t do it?”
【uh?】
“If we don’t do it, how are we going to catch them?”
【Uh, um…】
If I want to take revenge on the Gaia Church, I don’t have the luxury of being picky about the means and methods.
We must use every possible means.
and.
“Miss Frill. This is a necessary step to uncover the truth.”
【Why?】
Joo Chang-ik also represented my position.
“Their ugly side will be revealed sooner or later, but it will be easier for people to accept the truth if they reveal it with a tarnished image rather than revealing it when their image is good.”
【Difficult!】
“To put it simply, you can think of it as the process of reducing stamina in order to hit the final blow of the raid.”
【Aha? I get it!】
Frill slammed his fist into his other palm.
‘Well, this is good.’
The existence of the frill was a secret to the outside world, but it was not hidden from trusted allies.
Thanks to you, I was able to explain it to him like this, so it was nice anyway.
anyway.
“The church is also coming out strongly.”
“You must know that this is the only way right now.”
Bishop Namgung Ham made a bold choice.
– As of today, Father An Su-hwan and Father Kim Jong-nam, who made unnecessary remarks, will be excommunicated from the church.
Not cutting the tail clumsily, but really boldly.
It was cut so badly that it could never be put back together.
Accordingly, public opinion showed signs of calming down to some extent.
Of course, it wasn’t perfect.
It’s not like we can just sit still.
– Unbelievable. The Hunter Association has already lost trust in the Gaia Church.
– However, I believe there is still room for dialogue, so I request a conversation with the CEO.
First of all, since we are the victims externally, wouldn’t it be okay if we don’t accept the apology?
Given this situation.
– … If Hunter Association officials visit the church, we will treat them as VIPs.
Bishop Namgung Ham had no choice but to accept our visit.

Gaia Church Korea Branch.
Looking at the garden within the temple there, Bishop Namgung Ham let out a deep sigh.
“Phew… … .”
The situation going back was extremely complicated.
‘Where did it go wrong?’
With a heart of despair, he had to cast out two first-class priests who could be called his right and left arms.
Although they kept each other in check, they were brothers who allowed him to focus solely on proselytizing and expanding his church.
‘Why did you make that choice, brothers… .’
Even though I can’t contact you right now, I really wanted to ask you if I ever met you.
Why did they do it, knowing that their actions would cause trouble for the church?
He believed.
There must be a reason for that.
Well, it was all a mistake.
anyway.
Behind Namgung Ham, a young priest asked a question.
In a voice that sounded somewhat uneasy.
“Bishop. Are you really… ready?”
“okay.”
Namgung Ham answered immediately.
Because now this was really the only way left.
“… … .”
However, the young priest seemed anxious or dissatisfied with something.
He stood there with his mouth tightly shut.
Did you feel it?
“Is there a problem?”
Namgung Ham turned around and asked the young priest.
The young priest answered, trying to keep his wavering gaze still.
“… I’m not sure if it really has to be this hard.”
“It is a task to make the foolish realize the greatness of the Goddess.”
“But isn’t the Goddess great enough even if she doesn’t do that?”
“yes.”
“It would be okay to let the prospective believers realize it on their own, but why do we have to do it in such a coercive way… … .”
The reason he resisted Namgung Ham’s instructions was simple.
Those instructions.
“Coercion! ‘Judgment’ is nothing more than giving an opportunity. Taking that opportunity is entirely your own choice.”
This time, the plan was to ‘judge’ all of the leaders of the Korean Hunter Association who were visiting.
“If they refuse to judge….”
“I can’t refuse.”
“So you’re telling me to prepare the priesthood and the paladin order? To judge them by force if necessary?”
The young priest couldn’t understand it at all.
Why.
Are you saying that we have to use such coercive methods?
“… Hmm.”
Of course, it was a completely different idea from Namgung Ham’s.
‘The church is facing a temporary crisis, but we can turn this into an opportunity.’
Because he intended to turn the current situation into an opportunity.
This current crisis where everyone is pointing fingers at the church.
However, the leadership of the Hunter Association grew into an enormous force in an instant.
If only we could instill in them faith in the Goddess?

‘… Then everything will be solved.’
If those who were on the verge of conflict with the religious order receive the grace of the Goddess and are reborn as her servants.
There is no problem.
Rather, we may be able to envision a brighter future for the church than before.
But.
‘So I planned to judge them.’
This profound meaning of Namgung Ham.
The young priest couldn’t figure it out.
‘Tsk. Brothers Ahn Su-hwan and Kim Jong-nam didn’t have this problem.’
The absence of the two first-class priests who had disappeared was greatly felt.
Well, anyway.
“Brother.”
“… Yes. Bishop Namgung Ham.”
“What is so wrong with telling the Goddess’s will?”
“… there was nothing wrong.”
“What’s the problem with that?”
“But the method is….”
“It doesn’t matter how you do it. Think about it. What would happen if you gave a child who was going down the wrong path a choice?”
“… we will continue on the wrong path.”
“That’s right. Sometimes you have to take the lead for a beloved catechumen. If your intentions are right, they will understand in the end.”
Namgung Ham preached his firm thoughts to the young priest.
however.
“But aren’t they adults!”
The young priest also felt strongly that this method was wrong.
He objected strongly.
at last.
“Brother.”
“yes.”
“It seems there is a problem with your faith.”
“…yes?”
An Su-hwan decided to use the last resort.
He approached the young priest and placed his hand on his head.
And then.
“Judgment.”
“…!!! Bishop!”
‘Judged’ the young priest.
Of course, it had no effect.
Because he was a devout believer in Gaia.
“This won’t work. My faith in the Goddess has never wavered!”
“No. There is a problem with your faith.”
“Bishop!”
“Otherwise, how could you not understand this mission!”
“Ha, but…!”
“Do you think you are perfect? Realize your own shortcomings!”
“… … !”
“All of this is my heart for you, so I pray earnestly that your heart will be reached.”
However, Namgung Ham was good at shaking the hearts of his opponents.
And the young priest heard these words.
‘… Really, was I wrong?’
It shook.
‘If I do not understand the Bishop’s profound meaning… .’
Of course, confidence in yourself.
‘Do I really believe so strongly in the Goddess? Wouldn’t the words of the bishop, who is closer to the Goddess than I am, be more correct?’
…even belief in the goddess Gaia.
And the consequences of this were fatal.
“Keu… Keuaaaah…!”
When faith wavered, the painful effect of “Judgment” was activated.
But that time was not long.
“Ugh. Gasp… Aaaah… … !”
As someone who originally believed in Gaia, I quickly regained my faith.
however.
“Welcome, brother, to the world of true faith.”
“Thank you for teaching me!”
That belief was somewhat distorted.
“Will it be okay for me to let our distinguished guests experience ‘judgment’ this time?”
“Of course! I will prepare without a hitch!”

Yeouido.
I arrived here with the leaders of the Hunter Association, where the Gaia Church’s Korean branch is located.
Among the group, Geum Yu-gang opened his mouth.
“Haha. At this point, you’re being treated as a VIP and visiting the temple. What a great irony.”
Geum Yu-gang, the representative of Geumwa Group and a member of the suicide squad.
He was once a man who even thought of raiding this place to rescue me.
“Well, it’s only natural since they don’t know the situation well yet.”
“Yeah. I see.”
Joo Chang-ik, the head of the Hunter Association, answered, and Geum Yu-gang nodded.
As I listened to their conversation, I looked at the faces of those who had come with them.
‘Geum Yu-gang, Joo Chang-ik, Gong Han-jik, Choi Eun-tak, Lee Su-cheol…’
Gong Han-jik, a 7-star hunter and master of the Destiny Guild.
Choi Eun-tak, an 8-star spirit master.
Lee Su-cheol, a member of Liberty and the leader of Black Dragon, the number one guild in South Korea.
Of course, there were many others who came along as well.
All hunters who are closely related to me or belong to Liberty.
In other words, they were the mainstays of the anti-Gaia alliance disguised as the Hunter Association.
also.
‘What about father?’
【Sangcheol said there was no problem!】
‘good.’
His father, who was in hiding, and Frill were also present.
It was reassuring even though we were going into the middle of enemy territory.
at that time.
“Hmm. I’m going anyway, but I hope everything goes smoothly?”
The leader of the Black Dragon Guild, Lee Su-cheol, opened his mouth softly.
To this, Joo Chang-ik replied.
“If something happens, it’ll be an all-out war, right? In fact, that’s what I want.”
“I wish it were that simple….”
I fully understand what he is worried about.
Everyone here knew that the Gaia Cult could use a fraudulent skill called “Judgment.”
and.
“Something bad will happen.”
“… What!?”
I knew it.
That they had set a trap.
This was a fact that could be known naturally, as he had taken control of the ‘Eugene sect’ within the religious order through Yoon Ji-ho.
and.
“Then, are you prepared? If we go into the middle of the enemy’s den without any defenses… .”
“Don’t worry.”
There was no problem.
I knew you were setting a trap, but I guess you didn’t prepare for it?
“The Gaia Church will strangle itself today.”
A trap they set?
In my opinion, that was the worst kind of self-inflicted wound.
