Chapter 31.2 – Let’s Destroy Religion!

「King Yaldabaoth is a wonderful man who puts the peace of his country first. He will soon realize this unusual situation and send a large number of knights to rescue us!」

「Once that happens, you demiurge believers are finished! No, little girl, release us!」

Alicia let out a deep sigh against the priests---who never doubted their superiority.

「….all I have heard from you since a while ago is “god and king”. You’re just clinging to existence with a higher rank. Are you babies that can’t do anything by yourself….?」

「W-what did you say you b*tchhhhhhhhh!?」

The priests are enraged by Alicia’s words. However, their rage did not last long. Alicia’s hand flashed for a moment and then, a silver knife was stabbed into a priest’s throat….!

「Ga-gafuuuuuuuuuuuu!?」

「gigwiiiiiiii!? Gaaaa……..!」

The priest struggled in agony while blowing bubbles of blood from his knife wound. His inaudible scream echoed through the underground chapel.

「Ufufufu….if you move too much, the wound will worsen and you will stop breathing…forever.」

Alicia smiled happily at the priests who were forced to shut up, deprived of their ability to speak.

She plays with the knife she’s been holding for some time---and speaks quietly with dead eyes.

「…..as you said, Demiurge Religion is weak. Contrary to the Sofia Religion, which was protected by the king, it was hounded around the country like a poisonous bug. If we hadn’t learned a killing skill or two, we would have been all dead long ago. Yeah……I can’t tell this to the believers but I regretted being born as the daughter of the leader of Demiurge Religion. I hated my parents who were killed immediately after giving birth to me…I.hated.the.existence.that.I.didn’t.even.know.whether.it.was.there.or.not. God Demiurge.」

Doubts about the existence of god. It was a mortal sin that one should never commit as a religious leader.

The pressure of being born into a pagan religion that was shunned by the nation and having to lead the believers at such a young age had driven her mind to such an extent.

However, Alicia can say with certainty now. There is a god in this world!

「However, one day---I met someone! Rize Beibalon, a kind, intelligent, and wonderful person! He accepted us, Demiurge Believers, even though he was a noble. He gave us a church, he gave us the freedom to proselytize, and he gave us the most exciting and joyful days! So now, I’m very, very grateful to the god of creation, Demiurge-sama! God created.the.ever.wonderful.Rize.sama.in.this.world! That made me overflow with faith! I turn all of mankind into Demiurge believers as a token of gratitude!!!!!」

「…………!?」

The priests were surprised at Alicia, whose dead eyes transformed into a maniacal smile.

This woman is clearly broken. It is rare to find such a being among the faithful but it’s too bad that this woman who’s in the position of a leader is consumed by madness---!

The priests, in cold sweat, shuddered at the man she called as “Rize Beibalon”.

“What the hell was he thinking supporting a religious leader who had gone mad!”

Insanity is contagious. And it goes hand in hand with faith among others.

….in the mind of the priests, who were all stunned, the Demiurge believers are happily terrorizing for the sake of proselytizing.

“---ah, no doubt. This man Rize is going to use this crazy woman to rule over this country!”

That’s all they could think of. Only a big evil man or a toddler who had no idea what he was doing will support a crazy religious leader in her terroristic activities. The priests were convinced that it was definitely the former.

Alicia smiled at them and took several syringes from her ample bosom.

「fufuh, ufufufufufufu! Now now, it’s time for your medicine! I’ve concocted dozens of me.di.cine that affect one’s mind so all of you will be injected and be reborn as good girls. I’m going to do my best to make Rize-sama, whom I love more than god, love this Alicia!!!」

「s-stop, stooooopppppppppppppp!!!?」

The priests screamed with all their might not worrying if they’ll damage their vocal chords.

But of course, their scream is nothing to Alicia, who was completely deaf to anything but Rize Beibalon’s words.

「Ufufufuf! When I said I wanted to make a mind-altering drug, he sponsored it without asking anything. I’m sure Rize-sama would have wanted me to do this! He and I can communicate with our hearts! 」

Thus---the worst of the worst, a crazy religious leader with an empty-headed patron, happily begins experimenting on human bodies….!
