My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness

Chapter 346

? Scribes (1) ?

Pantheon, a group of numerous denominations united together.

As such, there were various factions there made up of people with similar tendencies and doctrines.

If you were a simple member, all you had to do was focus on your religious life without worrying about complicated circumstances.

However, the higher up you go in any organization, the more important politics becomes.

Since his position was the head of the steering committee that decided the direction of a large organization called Pantheon, and he was in the position to represent a specific faction, it was inevitable that he would become busier whenever something happened.

Like this person who is moving somewhere while sitting in the back seat of a car driven by a driver.

‘It’s annoying, but there’s nothing you can do about it. That guy named Heinrich was talking nonsense…’

Adeline Schneider, a woman with gray hair, gently closed her eyes and massaged her eyebrows.

She is a member of the 12 Committee, the leadership of the Pantheon, and is also the secretary of the North American branch of the Buncheonhoe. She was having a busy day due to recent events.

‘How on earth did they summon the gold dragon? I never thought I could bring not only myself but a completely separate being to Earth. Without divine intervention, it would be impossible to summon a creature of that level.’

It was a completely different incident from the one a warlock had summoned the dragon not long ago.

Even though it was quite unusual and caused a lot of noise at the time, it was truly historic for a living resident of another world with complete intelligence to appear on Earth.

In such a situation, naturally, the argument made by Saint Heinrich St. Landgard of Outerica, the person who caused such a miracle, was bound to be given added weight.

Isn’t the reason she’s so busy managing the faction because the agenda was brought up to the steering committee?

‘Tsk, I’m not having any peace of mind because of those fanatics. Even though they are people of Earth, they are traitors who are being seduced by foreign media and polluting this land… This time, they are turning their ears off to the nonsense of a stranger from outer space.’

Adeline’s brow furrowed.

Although she worked in the Pantheon for a long time and proved her abilities and faith to reach her current position, she never once considered other priests as her colleagues.

She just had to endure it and wait for the right time according to the will of her God.

‘Anyway, it’s a pain in the ass. The name of Beoncheonhoe is also mentioned openly here and there. If the fanatics here start setting things up as they want, it will get tiring…’

In fact, for a priest who was a priest who used divine power, there was no one who was not mentally ill.

Of course, including herself, who is a special case.

‘There are only bad stories about dark magic users spread throughout the world. Actually, if you think about it, the level of mental pollution is not that great even with divine power.’

A side effect of divine power is fanaticism.

It was an open secret that most of the priests were quite crazy, although it was not very noticeable on the outside compared to the dark magic power.

In the first place, since power was received from and used by a divine being of a far different rank, it was natural for the user to be influenced by the object of faith.

Even in a system where the deeper the faith, the stronger the divine power can be used, the saying that he became a high-ranking priest was consistent with the saying that he was insane.

“Whoa.”

She leaned back against the seat with a soft sigh and raised one hand to cover her eyes.

As I thought about all the things I had to do in the future, I felt like I was getting a headache.

‘…are you okay. It’s still just a discussion stage. Moreover, with nothing confirmed, it will not be easy to pinpoint the person who is the head of the 12th Committee.’

All they had to do was waste time and at the same time blame everything on the real ‘followers of the evil god’ whom they had identified in advance.

In the meantime, I’ll have to hold back a bit, but since it’s not the time to rush forward, it’s probably best to do so now.

‘To bother you. Heinrich… I’ll make sure to pay you back for this… Hmm?’

Then at some point.

As if cutting off those complicated thoughts midway—.

Squeak—!

The car she was riding in suddenly came to a halt.

The upper body leans forward roughly due to inertia.

Adeline, who was already feeling uncomfortable, raised the corners of her eyes.

“What’s happening all of a sudden?”

“I’m sorry. Priest. “Suddenly someone cut in front of me, so stop…”

Her eyebrows twitched at the driver’s answer to her calm questioning.

As I looked towards the windshield, I saw a man wearing a motorcycle helmet blocking the path where the car should have passed.

However, even after identifying the cause, her stern face did not loosen.

‘…When on earth did it get this close?’

No matter how active she was as a priest, she was also strong enough to be called a superwoman.

But I couldn’t even feel the other person approaching until I saw it with my own eyes…

bam bam!

“What are you doing there in the middle of the road? “Get out of the way!”

When she was lost in thought like that.

The driver, who was carefully observing her, honked his horn and raised his voice.

Although he clearly looked nervous due to the suspicious behavior of the other person, he could not help but hesitate as one of the Pantheon’s leaders was riding behind him.

If I hesitated for no reason and showed her dislike, my line of food could have been cut off.

“Ahaha, I’m really sorry… Excuse me, but I have something I’d like to ask you.”

“Anyway, what if it suddenly pops out onto the road? “Then what if an accident happens?”

“I’m sorry, I have something really urgent to do, so stop…”

The driver’s expression softened a little as the other person repeatedly apologized.

The soft voice that put my mind at ease, as well as the somewhat languid way of speaking, gave off a sense of harmlessness towards the other person.

“So, by any chance, is the person riding inside right now the secretary?”

However, as the other person continued to ask questions, the driver’s tension, which had gradually eased, tightened again.

An unidentified stranger asks who is in the car.

From the looks of it, he doesn’t seem to have good intentions, does he?

“Secretary? I can’t tell you who’s inside, but I think you’ve got the wrong street number. Rather, I am warning you that the person riding here is higher than you think, so it would be best for you to leave now.”

However, the man who actually received the answer to the question did not care at all about the article’s reaction.

All I could do was slowly raise the corners of my mouth as I felt the energy rising from the back seat of the car as if it was going to explode.

“…I think I’ve come to the right place.”

“Look! I see you don’t know anything. In the first place, the position of secretary does not exist and cannot exist in the Pantheon, a religious union…!”

The knight, who raised his voice in response to the alumni letter, could not continue until the end.

He suddenly swayed his upper body while sitting in the driver’s seat, but soon lost consciousness, hit his head on the steering wheel, and passed out.

Baaaaang—

the horn blares loudly.

With that sound in the background, Adeline slowly opened the back seat door and got out, looking at the unidentified person with narrowed eyes.

A man wearing a loose-fitting suit whose body type cannot be guessed and a helmet covering his entire head came to see him, knowing exactly his identity.

‘The barrier has already been activated. Did you prepare it in advance and then just activate the trigger? I made up my mind from the beginning and waited.’

In addition, a subtly inhumane atmosphere was emanating from the other person, as if they were part of nature gathered together.

That was something very unfamiliar to her, even though she had experienced everything from mountain warfare to air combat.

In response, she opened her mouth first to gather as much information about the opponent as possible before demonstrating her skills.

“I don’t know who you are, but are you confident that you can take care of it? How dare you attack me, a member of the Pantheon’s 12th Committee. “It must be difficult to die gracefully, right?”

“Ahaha… I’m not the type of person to think about what happens later before doing anything. Actually, I still feel like I came here for no reason. Even though I deliberately prepared an air purifying magic tool, I still find it difficult to breathe. I really wonder how everyone lives in a place like this…”

“Enough of the useless talk. So what is your purpose?”

Unlike the two sides who stood up and attacked each other, a calm conversation began to take place between them.

On the surface, it seemed like it would be resolved in a peaceful way…

“That’s the purpose… What else do I want after coming all the way here?”

That atmosphere didn’t last long.

Translucent shapes reveal themselves one by one around a monster wearing a helmet-type magic tool with an air purifying function.

They were beings that one would never expect to see in this world.

“I have only one wish from the beginning.”

“…government ordinance?”

Adeline’s face hardened.

That wasn’t just a low level thing.

Ultra-high-level spirits that even she could never underestimate… were appearing in groups as if they had been waiting.

“My goal is the destruction of the Buncheonhoe. in other words-.”

While expressing clear hostility towards her.

A completely unexpected opponent at a time when the secretary was not expecting it.

“It is your death.”

They attacked first in an unexpected way.

Kwaaaang—!

In a form accompanied by violent drinking and destruction.

***

‘That’s great. The response was much better than I expected.’

High elf Harris, who had come to Earth for the first time in a long time, slowly nodded his head wrapped in a helmet.

Originally, the power of the spirits would have been greatly reduced, but perhaps thanks to the two ?Dimensional Barrier Relaxation?, the decrease in power was not as great as expected.

Crumbling—!

Ultra-high-voltage electric current poured from the body of the lightning spirit Watt, and the fire spirit Kali’s lava-like flames spewed out.

From Pascal, the spirit of wind, it is a sharp wind, and from Decibel, the spirit of sound, it is a heavy wave.

After signing a new contract, the earth spirit Hectar, the light spirit Lumen, and the water spirit Liter, who had grown steadily, also radiated their power as if they would not be defeated.

“Tsk! A spirit. This is really unexpected. And handling so many numbers at the same time…? “What kind of unique skill do you have that makes this possible?”

However, it was not easy to deal with the scribe who was scattering a sunset-colored glow all over with just that.

A female warrior wearing armor made of divine power all over her body, as if she were a messenger from God, and holding a large shield and hammer in both hands.

She was wasting time, withstanding the barrage of spirits pouring down like a shower with overwhelming defense power based on pure divine power.

It’s as if time is on one’s side anyway.

‘That one? …Is that really the case?’

And Harris, who had already used ?Dimensional Barrier Relief? twice, could feel a certain sense of strangeness in her divine power.

It is something that any user of divine power has no choice but to endure.

She doesn’t see any decrease in efficiency due to the phase difference between dimensions.

‘The scribe’s sacred power must be received from the Lord of the Beoncheonhoe. Since the basis of that power is on the same Earth, it is bound to be unaffected by the dimension.’

Perhaps that was the decisive driving force that allowed her to rise to the top of the Pantheon.

To begin with, the conditions were different from the others, so it wouldn’t have been difficult to get to the top even without giving your all.

‘Well, if you think about it that way, Heinrich is in a similar position.’

Harris took a deep breath, his star-shaped pupils shining inside his helmet.

Certainly, with this air purifying magic tool, it was much better than breathing with his bare body, but as the being closest to nature, breathing was not simply done through the lungs, so it was still a difficult task.

‘It seems like it’s getting more difficult as I use spirits. I need to finish it as quickly as possible.’

Kuuk.

The whole place was in chaos due to the indiscriminate bombardment of as many as seven high-ranking spirits.

He strongly held Themis, a bow made from the branches of the World Tree, in his hand.

There was no need to worry about unnecessary damage since there was a formation using “Muyu Bagua Bukong (?)” around anyway.

Using that power, the driver and the car he was driving, which had been in place just moments before, had already been moved to a safe place.

For him, who can manipulate the energy of nature at will with “Muyu Bagua Bikong (?),” the mystery of the Jinbeop, which can create the environment desired by the practitioner by artificially arranging the energy of nature, was nothing short of optimal compatibility.

And wasn’t the necessary knowledge provided by Zhuge Shiga and Geumo Tao?

Ki-i-ik-

An arrow made from a branch of the world tree gets caught in a protest.

Power began to rapidly concentrate within it, defying the tension that seemed as if it would explode at any moment.

Goooo—

Pure natural power, its processed energy, and the various elemental energies of the spirits were all sucked into one point.

And the moment when that destructive energy concentrated to the limit is released.

———!

A line of light pierced the air as if dividing space.

Kwaaaaang—!

After a binge drinking episode.

Harris’ expression hardened.

“Oh, I didn’t expect this…”

He looked at the familiar figure blocking the path of the secretary who was his target.
