Chapter 435 435-Just Another Day.

The situation when Hela arrived only got more heated as the entire church became a battleground. Most of the nuns, priests, and everyone outside had their heated gazes fixed completely on me. No doubt, their heavy and fastened breaths showed that my presence was overwhelming.


"Shall we?" Hela asked, to which I nodded. Thus, under her protection, I started to move. Several people had gathered, all of their eyes looking at me, wondering who I was to get such attention and care. By the time I left, the news would have spread to all the channels that were keeping their eyes on this place.


The walk was noisy as I moved through the long hallways that gave a sense of peace. The two priests that kept guard at the gate took my left and right, protecting me. Their aura was more than enough to push away anyone that had any thoughts of getting near me. Meanwhile, Hela took the lead, taking me to a much more open area.


As such, we reached a secure hall. Entering it, I could see several old and powerful people gathered around. They gave off a sense of peace and calm that could mellow any rough mind. But what was creepy was the gaze they were giving, one filled with respect and awe. Let me tell you, it doesn't feel good to get such a gaze from old people. Young people, maybe...


"We pay respect to the holy son!" All of them spoke at the same time, bowing toward me with respect. I nodded at it as my disguise went off, revealing my handsome self. None of them were surprised by it as Hela had long notified them of my identity. I had done a thorough check, knowing well that they were fine and dandy.


"If you will, shall we take a seat?" Hela asked in a calm tone, trying to control the flow of conversation to make it less akward for me.


"Yes, of course..." An old man spoke as everyone moved towards the huge table set at the center, with me taking the head seat. Once done, a steady silence fell between us as I kept looking through everyone gathered here. It was the same for them as they kept their gaze on me. Seeing so, I amplified the feeling of life coming through me, thus making the expression on everyone's face relaxed, seemingly as if getting a massage...


'What the heck!' My expression turned for the worst as I saw one of the old men having a blissful look, one remanence of a person having his best orgasm. Turning my focus around, I could see the same for most of the people gathered around here, except for Hela. Though the light blush on her face meant something else.


'Urgh...I need to get this out of my memory...' It's in no way nice to see a bunch of old people looking like they are having the time of their life. Of course, nothing sexual is happening, but that still doesn't mean I want to see such expressions.


"Cough... Let's get to the main topic," Hela spoke once again, her voice taking everyone's attention. As I lessened the power of the blessing, I planned to only get them more relaxed around me. Sadly, to say, I have accomplished that fact extremely well.


"So, Austin, when do you prefer to have to be coordinated to the world as our holy son?" Hela asked, her 'eyes' focused on me. I didn't hesitate as I answered.


"As I told you before, I want to wait until I graduate from the academy. Right now, I already have a lot of people sucking up to me, its being like that ever since my status as Eleanor's successor came out, at least I want to try to enjoy my academy life more."


None of the people rejected the idea; they were all kind by nature and could sympathize with the fact that I spoke. Moreover, this meeting was just a formality to meet everyone here and get to know things. Plus, the entire church would be my responsibility once I took the position as the holy son.


Think of the entire church belonging to Orpheus and me as her 'son,' who would be inheriting everything from her, which would place all these people under me. The difference is, unlike a real company, I don't have to worry about any betrayal, and these people would listen 100% to everything I had to say.


It was the same for the church of Razellia, as one day, I would be taking complete control there too, effectively putting everyone under my thumb. With that spell in circulation, I would hold complete power over their hearts and as such, their will.


"Hahaha...this is indeed a good situation! Right now, we have a holy son! And if the church of Razellia ever came up with one, we wouldn't be behind!"


"Indeed, it's the best!"


"We need to make this a party!"


Soon everyone was discussing amongst themselves, happily chatting with each other. It was in this atmosphere that I intervened.


"Actually, I am also the holy son of the church of Razellia."


"....."


"....."


"....."


"....."


My words brought a deafening silence, and everyone turned quiet. I could see Hela's lips twitching as she sat beside me, trying her best not to let her emotions scream out.


'Sigh...this is going to be a long talk,' I concluded, as I had no desire to hold this information back when it was totally fine to share it. It was better for me as I could bridge the gap that is built within every church.


"Actually, the thing is...."


Hence, a long talk soon began in the hall, and this time, the conversation was more serious.


.....


'Sigh.....that was a long talk,' I thought as I sipped the tea in my hand, sitting in a well-decorated room. The talk with them had gone on for 2 hours. It was a pain dealing with the huge news as if it got out, it could change the dynamic of the whole world.


A single man owning two churches? That automatically made me one of the most powerful people in the whole world, and that was just the tip of the iceberg. After all, even the so-called War Council that maintained peace, and was among the one place that I didn't want to antagonize, didn't dare to simply go against the church. Even the church themselves were an organization below the Goddess, and no one could change that.


And after learning about all the secrets that the church held, I could confidently say that the day I proudly take over the church, I would be unstoppable in my conquest of the world. Even in the current situation, I have several powers under my control.


I have control over the Dark Night, effectively making my eyes cover the entire underworld. All rumors and backhand dealings didn't happen without me knowing about them.


I have control over the populace with my books, my fame, and my fortune being among the top in the world.


The two churches grant me absolute immunity and power, making it so that my reach covered the entire world.


I have power in the light and darkness, and once I have complete faith in my control over these powers, I would have the entire world in my hands.


Yet, even then, it was incredibly hard to get any information about 'that' organization. All this power and 'its' mystery only kept growing on me, and that was another reason why I didn't want these powers and status of mine coming to light for now.


My current status was enough for me to live without much fear, as the son of a Duke wasn't someone that any Tom, Dick, or Harry could mess with, I am also the successor of Eleanor, the Bow Empress, my status is already very very tight.


Plus, once I have all the information I needed, it would be more fun to tear down 'this' power, to attack it with my full capabilities, and take it down once and for all.
