Is This... Divine Power?

Although he no longer needs to rely on comics... aside from the connection between Cyworld King of Wind City, which is unknown to netizens.

Cong Yu's mask has almost completely fallen off.

The Wind City Magical Girl Association is already well-known...

"..."

"Hello?"

Cong Yu didn't know why the Pope on the other end of the phone, even though he had answered, didn't react at all. "Old Deng?"

"..." Oh no, could it be that he died right after answering the phone?

Did he die of old age?!

Is this what they call "the victory of the Holy Book" or something like that?

"..." To be honest, Cong Yu was a little worried that the old Pope might have kicked the bucket... not that he would be implicated.

After all, everyone knows that Cong Yu couldn't possibly kill someone just by making a phone call... it's not that far-fetched.

Even if Cong Yu didn't have a mustache, he couldn't kill the person on the other end of the phone by firing a shot into the receiver.

I'm just a little worried that something might have happened to the Church.

Just as Cong Yu was about to set off for the Church, she heard Pope Old Deng's voice. "A phone call? Who's calling?"

It didn't sound like he was talking to Cong Yu.

It seems the person who answered the phone wasn't the Pope... Then why didn't they speak? Or was my signal bad?

In this day and age, long-distance international travel is indeed prone to problems.

Thinking this, Cong Yu sat down again with peace of mind, and then heard a woman's voice coming from the microphone—

"Unsure, Father."

As she said this, the woman spoke curtly and succinctly, "He only said Ciallo."

Pope. "???"

What is it?

The Pope didn't understand, subconsciously thinking it might be a combination of Cia and Hello... but he pronounced it together.

"Besides..."

The stiff-tongued girl paused, then added, "He calls you 'Old Deng,' that's all."

"..." Upon hearing this, the Pope immediately knew who it was, and his voice carried a hint of helplessness. "I know, give me the phone."

Then, accompanied by a series of soft sounds, the Pope's voice became much clearer. "Cong Yu?"

"..." Cong Yu somewhat speechless and didn't know what to say...

He had originally planned to get straight to the point, but after things went wrong, he felt he had to ask what had happened.

"Is that your daughter? Why didn't she say anything after she answered the phone?"

The Pope's voice held a clear hint of wariness in response to Cong Yu's question, "Indeed, she has some social anxiety... I don't have many daughters left. Don't get any funny ideas."

What do you mean by "there's not much left"...?

You've only married a few people, haven't you?

And...

"What kind of attitude is this? I'm the kind of person who keeps myself clean... What exactly are you being wary of?"

Cong Yu complained, feeling that Pope Old Deng was getting too old and his thinking was becoming problematic.

The Pope also has something to say about this...

"Stop messing around."

With that, the Pope indicated that he was already aware of Cong Yu's formidable reputation. "Your deeds have been exposed."

"Back when you were still human, the little girls in the orphanage you stayed in liked you, the nuns and caregivers looked after you, and the Saint King was infatuated with you..."

"When you arrive in Japan, the Snow Woman likes you, the Monster Group also has high hopes for you... and the Monster Emperor also treats you differently."

"And then there are the Xian Kui... The problem is you're keeping them all hanging on without giving them any official status, that definitely won't work."

The Pope was spouting rumors he'd heard from who-knows-where... Yes, rumors! All rumors!

At least that's what Cong Yu was certain of.

"Just don't come to the Church, I really don't have many daughters left... I can't let you keep me hanging on like this!"

"..." Cong Yu was furious!

"What titles or ranks? I have completely White-White friendships with everyone! What are you up to, you old man?"

Cong Yu angrily berated the Pope on the other end of the phone for spreading rumors, shouting loudly—

"Why don't you mention that I also have good relationships with other male Monster King? Takemikazuchi, why don't you mention that? Death King, why don't you mention that?"

"You only talk about women, so can I say that you actually watch videos of beautiful women during your work hours?!"

Upon hearing Cong Yu's angry outburst, the Pope was shocked on the other end of the phone. "What? How do you know? Did Brad tell you?"

Cong Yu: "..."

Cong Yu: "???"

No, you really watched it?!

In an instant, Cong Yu suddenly felt that the Church might really be beyond saving... not because Dente would take over the Church in the future.

Rather because

The reason given is something like "if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too."

It's easy to imagine... how could Dente possibly manage the Church well if he were to learn from a scoundrel like the Pope?!

"Phew... never mind."

Cong Yu decided to ignore these topics, which he considered somewhat "nonsense"... After all, he was a White-White and upright young man.

I've come to see you for two things.

Cong Yu spoke up, and the Pope immediately understood, his knowing voice ringing out. "For fairness?"

"..." Cong Yu really wanted to complain, but she held back.

"No, firstly, we hope that your side can participate in the 'Transformation Ritual' process... The clinical trial phase is almost over, and the ceremony should be rolled out worldwide. We hope that a major force can set an example."

"This is the conclusion I reached after discussions with the 'Salvation Alliance,' and I proposed that the Church take the lead."

Cong Yu said this, and the Pope's voice remained unchanged. "Yes, I can also transform for the sake of humanity... And the second thing?"

"... Transformed for the sake of humanity?"

Cong Yu was suddenly stunned. He opened his mouth, and goosebumps rose on his arms... because the Pope had said that he would never give up his human identity.

Now, they are abandoning their own conscience for the sake of "humanity".

This awareness comes from humanity, is changed by humanity, and ends in the name of humanity... How amazing.

"How great you are, old man."

Cong Yu sincerely praised the Pope, then proceeded to the second matter. "I received Divine Power from Angel."

"I want to become a god."

"..."

"..."pope. "!!!"

Chapter 738 Is it Divine Power...?

The so-called "becoming a god" is naturally just a joke.

Or rather, it was something Cong Yu said to fool Lao Deng... However, it seems he fooled other people instead.

Having just finished showering, Hong emerged from Cong Yu's room, a lollipop dangling from her mouth, and stared at Cong Yu with a shocked expression...

What? Becoming a god? And you're not taking me with you?

Are you trying to stir up some ascension nonsense right in front of us?!

"Although it's about becoming a god, I don't really know where to start... Becoming a god would naturally be the best outcome."

"After all, if I were to become a god, perhaps I would have a way to contend with Moerae... but it's only a possibility."

"Moerae is indeed very different from what we conventionally understand as something that is given the name of 'god'."

Cong Yu was on the phone with the Pope, and at the same time, she explained to Hong, who had a strange look in her eyes.

"..." After a brief silence, the Pope couldn't help but retort, "You know what? Our view is..."

"God became man so that man might become God."

Do you know how to solve it?

Cong Yu was quite familiar with these words, after all, he had spent a long time in Church that was essentially a welfare institution.

"I know, it's 'Sanctification,' right? 'Sanctification' and 'Justification' are both inherent grace."

"Sanctification is a continuous act, while Justification is a completed act."

"Those who are saved through 'Justification' never receive the fruit called 'Sanctification'...and those who are saved, even the sinful, are made holy."

Cong Yu rambled on about the doctrine, and Hong's eyes changed several times as she listened... She didn't understand much of it.

It's not a matter of intelligence or lack thereof.

Hong's IQ is above average in this family. As for which person's extremely low IQ dragged down the average...

It's hard to say, it's hard to say, let's just keep it to ourselves for now.

Hong's mind lacked this knowledge, just as she couldn't solve a linear equation with two variables.

The Pope, on the other end of the phone, also seemed somewhat amazed.

"You really know a lot..."

Cong Yu chuckled at the Pope's words... Of course, back in the Church, the nuns always praised him for his prowess in bed.

Well, "doing well" means doing one's job well as a monk.

"Then you should know that 'there is only one God,' and your concept of 'becoming a god' is not valid according to our doctrine."

"As God's creation, we, as created beings, cannot ontologically become God, so much so that we cannot become a part of God."

Cong Yu scoffed at the Pope's words, saying, "How about I die first, and then be resurrected on the third day?"

Pope (annoyed): "No way!"

The Pope knew what Cong Yu was complaining about. Cong Yu meant that the name "Holy Son" was also forcibly bestowed upon him, rather than being destined or born that way.

I'm testing you, you heretic, you've gone too far!

In the past, they would have been tied to a rack and burned at the stake.

With this sigh, the Pope shook his head and said, "So, you can't ask me for advice on 'how to become a god.'"

"Judging from your familiarity with the Church, you should know... that all the myriad miracles and wonders are bestowed by the Holy One."

"Then how will you become a god?"

"..." Cong Yu paused for a moment, pondering something, in response to the Pope's professional explanation and advice.

Cong Yu, reaching out his hand, summoned a wisp of Divine Power.

A sacred, beautiful, and Radiance...

Able to clearly feel

I realized that this power was not magic of any kind, but something more transcendent.

It's bigger now, and there's more of it.

It was probably not Cong Yu's imagination, but rather that there was indeed an increase... Both the color and density were brighter and more solid than before.

Divine Power is growing for some reason.

After dismantling the first Angel, Cong Yu successfully gained Divine Power, but after dismantling the second Angel...
