The Book I Wrote Became the Bible - Chapter 49



49 – Lydia prepares the temple

A large-scale miracle that healed all the sick in Capernaum and breathed new life into them.

This great news spread to the students of the academy.

“Did you hear that story? Well, there is a city called Capernaum in the Nova Empire…….”

“You said your pores were regenerated? There’s no way that could be possible! My father can’t get his pores back, so he wears a wig!”

“No, is it real? Numerous eyewitnesses have already testified!”

“He is the son of Deus…… Is it true?”

“I don’t think it’s very likely to be true, but…… The Bible says that one day our savior will come. I really want to be that person.”

“The church has not said anything yet.”

“That is also true. This confusion will subside if the church decides quickly.”

Even at the beginning of the semester, this topic is heard more than classes, friends, professors, and clubs.

I never thought it would have such a ripple effect.

Did you do something too rash because you were mad at the bishop?

No.

Come to think of it, this “Gift”. Had to try it once.

It’s an ability that could be a better weapon than Ignis, but if you don’t use it and just rot it, you might not be able to use it when you really need it.

It was more flashy than necessary, but thanks to this, I got a sense of it to some extent.

The identity of this ability.

And if I’m right, this devastating ripple effect might be a good thing.

Considering the story Ignis talked about before about ‘divine’, it would be nice if this kind of reaction was good, it wouldn’t do any harm.

And more than anything else, the entire continent’s attention was drawn to my alter ego in the Nova Empire.

This body is being recognized as just an ordinary aristocratic student 1.

Of course, since he defeated Kronia’s golem and subdued Dia in an instant, he must be treated as something special rather than ordinary. Still… Compared to his alter ego, he belongs to an ordinary axis.

He is the son of God.

How did this happen?

I didn’t know how the Dedeus Church within the Calandra Empire would respond to this incident, so I sent a letter to Lydia.

I can’t reveal anything about avatars, so I just told them not to get involved because I’m also in the Nova Empire.

She already thinks of me as a god, so if I tell her not to get involved, she won’t mind.

And if Lydia doesn’t care about my avatar, the Dedeus Church within the Calandra Empire won’t be considered.

I hope Lydia doesn’t do anything stupid.

…… Won’t you? Ay no way

Even if it’s Lydia.

Kalandra, the capital of the Kalandra Empire

Church of Deus

Deep underground in the first branch of Calandra.

Ten influential nobles of the Empire are seated around a huge table in a large room.

All of them had the rank of elder, the highest official of the Deus Church.

When the door opened and Lydia, a woman with the name of Scala, the leader of the church, entered, she stood up and bowed as if she were welcoming the supreme head of the empire.

“All of you are welcome to take a seat.”

At her words, the high-ranking nobles who control the empire sat down like docile sheep.

“Thank you, brothers and sisters, for responding despite the sudden call.”

Lydia spoke as she sat at the top of the table reserved for her.

“No. It was a call to be answered, Reverend Scala.”

“Yes, sir. If it’s the headmaster’s call, I’ll come running right away no matter what.”

“As expected, they are faithful elders. The reason we have gathered all of you here today is because we have an important announcement coming up.”

Lydia intertwined her hands and pushed her upper body slightly in front of her.

“You all must have heard the news of Capernaum.”

“As expected!”

“Have you come to know the truth!”

“Yes. She had her letter addressed to him in this regard.”

“Well, if that’s the case, then the story of being the son of Deus-sama….”

From noble mtl dot com

“Actually… He said.”

The room was shocked by Lydia’s short words.

“That means…… Has the time finally come?”

“The day of salvation when the Lord’s kingdom comes to this earth… !”

“It hasn’t arrived yet. But it wasn’t long. Judgment Day. And the night of resurrection.”

At her words, all the elders swallowed their saliva involuntarily.

“The Lord has begun the ministry. It means that day is not too far away. Heal the brokenhearted, set the captive free, proclaim growth to the naked and release to the captive, proclaim the year of Deus’ favor and the day of vengeance, comfort all those who mourn, so that there is no worry, worry or loss. The day when the kingdom of the unseen Lord will come to earth!”

Lydia was silent for a moment, then she spoke again.

“He added to her letter: Don’t get involved in the affairs of the Nova Empire.”

“…… Yes? Don’t get involved that….”

“The moment we got involved, a diplomatic dispute between the Calandra Empire and the Nova Empire would break out, so he probably told us not to.”

“Are you saying we can’t help him then?’

“Yes. That’s right.”

“But the Nova Empire is ruled by Dominic, that tyrant. If the sun goes down on him!”

“But he is our Lord.”

“That, it is….”

“As most of you may have heard, the ‘miracle’ that occurred in Capernaum this time is truly a miracle that is hard to find in history. It is a miracle that only the Lord can perform. It is our Lord who performs these miracles!”

At the same time as the speech, Lydia’s eyes filled with power sparkled.

“Ah. Lord.”

“”Amen.””

Only the elders of faith, as if they had doubts and worries at the same time.

“This is the Lord. All we have to do is follow the word of the Lord.”

“Then what should we do?”

“The command the Lord gave us. It is time to do it.”

“Preach the word of Lord Deus to the ends of the earth. Are you talking?”

“Yes. That’s right. We will lead even a little more people into the bosom of the Lord before the kingdom of the Lord comes to this earth! And the first target is Seongguk!”

“… Seongguk!”

“An evil country that worships false gods and spreads dirty beliefs. In the previous meeting, only the expansion of evangelism was decided and progressed. Since the advent of the kingdom of the Lord is imminent, we will proceed in earnest six months later.”

“You mean serious?”

“…… I will declare a holy war. The opening of the sacred and noble battle to spread the word of the Lord.”

In the crucible of shock, Lydia continued.

“Everything is for the kingdom of the Lord to come to this earth.”

Calandra Academy

Resting room of Sorority ‘Garot’

“Sister Juda. Did you hear that story? The Nova Empire…….”

“Are you referring to the miracle of Capernaum, a small town on the border of the Nova Empire, sister?”

“Yes, it is. Also, Sister Judas. You seem to know everything!”

“It’s not like I know everything… At this point, I can tell you that I know roughly all of the stories that have spread around the world.”

“I am curious because the church has not announced anything yet. Isn’t it said that he called ‘Son of Deus’? What do you think, Sister Juda?”

What do you think?

I care more than anything right now.

More than ‘Deus’.

Since childhood, I have wanted to rebuild the world order and leave my name in history. My parents took it lightly because it was my childhood, but my lifelong goal. It is the meaning of my life that I will never waver or give up.

But as I got older, I realized that it was impossible with my own strength alone.

In the meantime, I knew the existence of Deus, the existence of the Bible, and the existence of the Messiah.

The reason I believe in Deus is because of my father’s influence, but the biggest reason is the existence of the Messiah who will bring change to this world.

It is my greatest goal in life to bring about a change in the world and leave my name in history by the side of the Messiah.

If the Messiah described in the Bible descends to this earth, I might be able to achieve my goal through his power.

So, I memorized the Bible and made this ‘garot’ to lead the future Christos elders.

However, the goal is too vague.

The Bible does not tell us when the Messiah will come.

What if this isn’t true?

No, even if it is true, what if the coming of the Messiah does not come true while I am alive?

It was at a time when such anxiety was creeping up on me.

What did you hear about ‘Capernaum’?

A saint who performed miracles beyond the Pope’s blessing to the whole city.

A man who claims to be the son of Deus.

It doesn’t matter if you are not the Messiah.

If he had that level of ability… Could there be someone better suited to achieve my life goals?

Academy… After all, it is just a tool.

It won’t be a problem if I take a leave of absence for about a semester.

I check with my own two eyes and see if he is a man who is qualified to be my ‘messiah’.

And…… If so, I will follow him no matter what.

It might be the last chance in my life.

By the way, it’s sky blue hair.

A sister from ‘Garot’ suddenly comes to mind.

It’s the family’s characteristic hair color, but…… It must be just a coincidence.

Not all light blue is pulse rayno.
