Volume 3, Prologue
Race, religion, ideology... with the calamity that the
demon Typhon caused, the sense of values of human society that was once divided into many such parts were all returned to ash whether one wanted it or not, yet amidst that, this holy ground of the
continued to maintain its unique position as the [capital of the devout people of god] even now.
At the center of the capital of such zealous believers of the , there was a large structure built in church architectural style that continued to exist even now even after going through the aforementioned great calamity.
St. Peter’s Basilica.
As the headquarters of the , it was the stronghold of the pope Innocentius XVII.
It was once a flourishing and splendid church as a sightseeing spot, but right now the general public was forbidden to enter as it was now a government facility, a solemn silence spread out even when the sun was high in the sky.
However, that church which was usually didn’t have people coming and going to it, unusually had a visitor today.
Amidst the silence that made one feel the solemnity, there were three people walking with loud footsteps,
The president of America Joseph Franklin.
Britain’s prime minister Leti Cline.
And then the secretary general of China Republic Union Wan Tairon.
“By the way have you heard both of you? About the details of that fairy uproar.”
A great man with his body wrapped in a dazzling white suit, Wan Tairon talked to the other two walking with him inside the church with a hoarse unpleasant voice.
The stylish man with brilliant blonde hair and sparkling white teeth, Joseph Franklin returned a nod.
“It’s the story about how the
moved on its own in order to exterminate the fairy right? I am told that Alfaro-dono of the
and a
squad that he led attempted to exterminate the , but due to ’s obstruction, they failed their duty.”
“Right, that’s the one. That gramps kept it secret even to us who were in that place and moved as he pleased. Do you know? That guy Alfaro, his ass got dug up by
from the other side of the earth and his consciousness still hasn’t returned yet yeah. Haha-. He must have felt too good from his ass and still ain’t returning yet from heaven, that’s a pathetic story from the -sama that usually acts superior to us the S-class magicians.”
Towards Tairon who guffawed loudly from the ineptitude of the , the middle aged woman clad in intelligence that even made one feel it hard to approach her, Leti Cline let out a sigh saying “How vulgar...”.
“However it’s incomprehensible.
is supposed to be poor at detecting other people’s magic power even more than average people due to the height of his magic power. It’s hard to imagine that he can attack accurately calculating the position of a human located on the other side of the equator.”
“That’s probably because of the power of that Onjouji girl. That girl was on the actual scene at that time, so she should be able to calculate accurately the coordinates. And then even transmitting that information to the
who was in Australia, it was surely not something impossible by making use of her power as a .”
Leti knitted her eyebrows toward this answer of Joseph and exposed a discomfort.
“...For a human that can attack us no matter where we are in the world if he feels like it to exist. How aggravating that is.”
There was an existence that threatened the life of them who had become the leaders of the world which had overcome the great calamity brought by Typhon.
It was a matter that was hard to tolerate.
In this, Joseph also showed his consent.
“Really. However...――that too is only until today.”
Joseph removed his gaze from Leti and raised his face.
What was reflected in his eye was the golden angelsGloria that shined from receiving the sunlight shining in from the skylight.
The innermost place of St. Peter’s Basilica, Throne of Saint PeterCathedra Petri.
Joseph stood in front of the throne and touched a part of the throne’s pedestal with his hand.
Instantly, the spot that he touched became a cube block and sunk inside with a thump, with a sound of motion the floor under the pedestal of the throne slid aside.
A stair that continued down was revealed.
Ahead of that stair was the place that these three were heading for.
The sanctuary where their messiah was sleeping.
Correct. They were not gathering in this place today by accident.
The thorn in the side of the .
In order to oppose the abominable , they spent these few years to prepare this .
The
began.
