But that's where the weirdness lies.

The divergence in this Worldline occurred ten thousand years ago when the 'The Exiled' found the Law, not the Black Crown, in the Silver Mountains.

The powers granted by the law are aura, empathy, and the ability to use firearms.

But the power this pope used was clearly Originium, and Originium is the power of the Black Crown.

So either the pope himself led the betrayal of the Holy City and sought the power of the Black Crown.

Or—

These very abilities of the Pope were given to him by Precise, who was possessed by a demon.

And Precise?

Putting aside whether it was actually Precise was possessed, the 'Heaven's Point' was currently having a good laugh at the Hakimi Duet, so he had no time to care about this so-called pope.

So--

"Yue—!"

Yeah, so that's how it turned out.

Without a source of power, wouldn't a pope be no different from an ordinary person?

Fortunately, the towering beam of light caused one of the Mon3tr's claws to loosen its grip, throwing the pope away.

"A joyful roar"

This Mon3tr knew that the white light was emitted from the Holy Sword in her Kal'tsit's hand.

And every time her Kal'tsit draws her Holy Sword, it's to call for reinforcements.

So this Mon3tr waved its claws at the white light, seemingly expecting the Lord God to appear and play with it.

However, the surrounding Holy Guard Musketeers couldn't understand what the Mon3tr was shouting, and could only try to decipher it through its body language.

The big one is coming.

The very next second after the Holy Guard Musketeers reached this conclusion, the sky was torn apart.

The entire Starship Pod was split in two, revealing the original starry sky.

It's as if they, who were hiding inside the eggshell, have finally been able to glimpse a corner of the real world.

And the Demon King Rabbit descended into the world from this very corner.

Dressed in a white dress, anyone who sees the Demon King Rabbit for the first time will think, "This, how pure... how holy... Angels... Yes! If there really are Angels, they must be like this..."

But the Demon King Rabbit had a cold expression on its face.

She ignored everyone and simply descended from the sky.

Her delicate, fair toes did not touch the ground, but floated up gently, flying towards the direction of the temple.

The Demon King Rabbit wasn't fast, but she didn't intend to take the detour like the two cats.

The believers spontaneously made way for them and knelt down on both sides to pray, not daring to look or speak.

Because no matter who it is, even a bird, if they dare to offend this 'Angels,' they will be flashed by a white light and then turned into Originium sculpture.

The Demon King Rabbit's entrance was already spectacular, and with this, no one dared to stop it anymore.

As the Demon King Rabbit walked smoothly to the front of the grand ceremony, it lightly clenched its small hand, and a giant Originium blade large enough to span the entire Holy City materialized out of thin air and was held in its hand.

Then, the Demon King Rabbit gently waved its hand towards the dome of the temple.

The entire Holy City was thus cut in two.

"It's nothing but a counterfeit."

The Demon King Rabbit let the Originium Blade in its hand disappear, and under the terrified and uneasy gazes of the surrounding believers, the temple was completely split in two.

"And dare you call yourself 'Lord'?"

The Holy Guard Musketeers and the rebels followed the two Mon3trs out in single file.

Until only the Pope remained in the temple, crawling out while muttering "Yue—".

Until that temple, which had stood for thousands of years, collapsed into ruins.

Until the Demon King Rabbit shattered the faith he had built up over the past year with a single sword strike.

"Arrogant and blasphemous, I, in the name of 'Divine Messenger,' on behalf of the Lord God, hereby unleash divine punishment upon you."

Slightly cringeworthy, no, excessively cringeworthy.

But no one dared to laugh, and no one dared to respond.

After the Demon King Rabbit finished speaking, it lightly raised a fingertip.

And so a cluster of Originium, several meters high and seemingly about to pierce the sky, rose from the ground beneath the ruins of the temple.

Then came the second, the third, and the fourth—

Tens of thousands of Originium clusters began to pierce the earth, like a countdown to the world's destruction.

The crowd was terrified and cried out in despair. They prayed incessantly, but their 'Lord' had just been split in two.

Until.

The colossal figure of Heart of the Corrupted Skadi, as imposing as a mountain range, descended from the sky.

Heart of the Corrupted Skadi stood behind the Demon King Rabbit, hands clasped together, singing softly.

Everyone thought he was their savior, but they never expected that the next second, the cries of thousands of people, the holy hymns in the temple, and even the whole world would be silenced.

He could neither speak nor hear.

With their eyes alone, they saw a dark mass of monsters of all shapes and sizes, like demons from hell, rising up from the ocean and the land.

Tens of thousands of Sea Creatures the Great Swarm toward the direction where Heart of the Corrupted Skadi was.

Until the entire sky was covered, until the entire Holy City was besieged.

Then, the gods appeared in the world.

Looking at the Demon King Rabbit in front of the temple, looking at Heart of the Corrupted Skadi outside the Holy City, and then looking at the god who lifted up the entire planet with just one palm.

Clang, clang, clang...

The weapon fell to the ground, and his knee slammed into the ground.

For a moment, everyone on this planet stopped thinking and gave up resisting.

No? Two cats, two Divine Messenger, and one god—did they break the heavenly rules?

They are unable to speak or hear.

So naturally, I didn't hear it.

When that deity appeared in the world, he said, "I knew it. You Little Rabbit, you didn't understand anything. Where are my two cats? Oh no, including the Lost Cat, there are three. Little Rabbit, don't you dare poke my three cats to death."
