Chapter 135: Episode 26 – Scenario Destroyer (5)
Translator: Rainbow Turtle
I reflexively asked Yoo Jonghyuk, “Do you know these people?”
“Just one of them.”
Yoo Jonghyuk knew the Salvation Church? Well, he would've met them in the second regression. I was also familiar with the Salvation Church. According to the original novel, the Salvation Church was a group that completely abandoned the stereotypes of the word 'salvation.'
「 “There is no salvation in the afterlife.” 」
The first sermon of the Salvation Church began with this.
「 “The most important thing is the story and 'today' is what we need to liberate ourselves from. 」
At first glance, their doctrine had no problem. It gave importance to the present, not the past or the future. It was a story I heard many times even before the destruction came.
The Salvation Church mumbled unintelligible words while leading enormous forces. The elephants making harsh cries were the 7th grade desert thorn elephants. There was a person among the people who could 'tame' the elephants.
“O-Ohhh…”
“The Salvation Church!”
The incarnations cheered at the splendid appearance. I was a bit nervous. The Salvation Church had already appeared. Someone was intervening in the future I knew. It was also a very strong presence.
I heard a voice from the elephant in the front. “Young incarnations. The Salvation Church has come. We will free you from the scenario.”
At these words, the Salvation members spread out their arms towards the incarnations. Some of the incarnations came forward.
“…What do you mean by liberation from the scenario?”
“Literally what I said. I will give you freedom from the scenarios.”
The words were still elusive but they were appropriate to tempt the incarnations.
Liberation, freedom.
Some incarnations were prepared but for most of the incarnations who were forced into this place, they were sweet words.
“C-Can we become stronger if we enter the Salvation Church?”
Some incarnations were already convinced while others were more cautious. They believed in immediate power rather than vague words of 'salvation.'
“Stronger…” A shadow moved on the palanquin atop the elephant. The gender of the voice couldn't be identified. “What do you think strength is?”
Gazes focused on the man who asked the original question and he stuttered with a red face. “Well, strength is to be powerful… or to have strong skills! Isn't that what it means?”
“A strong power and strong skills… something like this?”
Magic power slowly stretched from the palanquin and formed a gigantic palm. It was magic power manifestation. A technique that could be used by a returnee was being implemented by a mere incarnation in the scenario.
[The constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' is hostile towards the 'palm'.]
A huge palm that was overwhelming covered the sky and fell towards the man.
“Waaaaahhhhh!”
Everyone screamed at the overwhelming magic. The moment the palm covered the incarnations, it transformed into wind and disappeared. A warm and gentle airflow surrounded the incarnation.
“You are pursuing fleeting things. Strength and weaknesses are all images made by stories.”
“I have a companion already.”
