“Is that a power from our lord?”

The Pope asked while looking at the rose gold light surrounding Cale.

– That’s not the case!

The cheapskate, who had been calm until now, suddenly shouted. Cale wondered if the cheapskate, the original owner of the Fire of Destruction, had become a god, but…

‘But I didn’t get this power from a god.’

That was why Cale answered honestly without any hesitation.

“No. This power is not from a god.”

‘I earned it by throwing a money shower.’

He didn’t say that part out loud.

The Pope’s pupils started to shake.

‘How can he have such a strong power when it is not from a god?!’

It was pure yet destructive.

This vicious rose gold light looked as if it would not fear any darkness in the world.

The Pope suddenly remembered that her god told her to treat Cale as if he was the god himself.

‘Perhaps-’

The Pope knew one of the secrets of the world.

‘Living creatures become gods after dying and going through trials.’

It was a secret of the world that she heard from the old man who was the former Pope, a long time ago when she was very young.

‘Perhaps this sir also……?’

A possibility stirred inside the Pope’s mind but she calmed herself down.

‘I must not be hasty.’

No matter what it might be, she could not just theorize about it and brush aside.

The Fire of Purification. As the Pope with the mission to save this church and the world, she could not do that.

As a result, she tried her best to calm down and collect herself as she spoke again.

“Oh esteemed purifier, are you able to repair the Wall of Purification immediately with that power?”

The important thing right now was repairing the Wall of Purification.

It would be extremely difficult for the church to run away from their Grand Temple.

Cale responded to her question without any hesitation.

“I can repair it right away, however… It does not look like that is needed right now.”

‘He can do it but he won’t?

Even though we are in such a dire situation?’

The Pope could not understand him. However, she did not say her complaint immediately. This purifier sent from their god must have his reasons.

She opened her mouth to ask him about it.

“Oh esteemed purifier, the people inside the church will be in danger if the black fog makes it inside. May I ask why you are saying that there is no need to do that right-”

Shh.

The Pope saw a black robe walk past her at that moment.

She then heard Cale’s voice.

“It is because my friend has something to do first, ma’am.”

The small black Dragon inside the temple with two Cats summoned quite a large pouch at that moment.
