Chapter 1024: Chapter 10: Princess Sita

The All-Powerful God is absolute, and the absolute God is the only one.

Perhaps from the human perspective, this is the only way to understand it...

"This idea... sure is quite blasphemous. If it were the old times, even magicians would be burned as heretics for thinking this way."

After a long while, Erica finally broke the silence with a bitter smile.

She extended her slender, delicate forefinger, pressed it against her forehead, and showed a subtle expression. It’s hard to describe the countenance of this genius witch, just as it’s difficult to describe her complicated gaze at this moment, as if she had heard something extraordinarily hard to accept, something that innately repulsed her.

"..."

Paul was also silent and expressionless, appearing very peculiar. He seemed to want to say something but just shook his head helplessly, leaving his words unsaid.

Frankly speaking, this kind of possibility is actually quite obvious. It just happens to hit the psychological blind spot of both of them, or perhaps they subconsciously refuse to entertain such a bold thought, not even considering it instinctively.

Precisely because they are magicians, precisely because they have come into contact with the mysterious unknown to ordinary people, precisely because they know many secrets and truths, they can often take a more rational attitude towards the existence of myths and religions—

However, while behaving more rationally,

it is because magicians are more acutely aware that...

those things exist.

Thus, in this regard, an interesting strange situation arises: ordinary people seemingly hold some reverence for gods and religion, but in truth, most lack genuine faith. What they say is merely lip service, and truly devout believers who sincerely believe in these things remain a very rare minority...

Conversely, it’s the group known as magicians, who seem to be desecrators without fixed beliefs, yet in this aspect, most of them possess a fundamental reverence as a baseline.

The reason—

is the cognitive difference brought about by knowing versus not knowing, believing versus not believing.

Although both groups live in the same world, in essence, it’s as if they belong to two different worlds altogether. This difference is much greater than any wealth gap or class gap, for at least the proletariat and capitalists are all humans with no biological distinctions.

Normal people, who live in an ordinary, mundane world and are disconnected from miracles and magic, see tales of strange powers and mythical entities as too distant, neither realistic nor real, thus they don’t seriously consider their impact on their lives.

But for those living on the other side of the world, their understanding and worldviews are starkly different from ordinary people from a young age... it’s a whole other story, as myths, religions, souls, and deities are certainly real, and indeed can influence their destinies.

From the material world to the spiritual realm, not only affecting life but even after death...

It’s no exaggeration to say that these things wield tremendous influence; this belief is deeply embedded in their hearts.

The situation now, with the Red Copper Black Cross, this magical association ultimately has ties to the biblical background; it is the successor of the Holy Temple Knight Order, which was active during the Middle Ages, venerating the Son of God and the Demon God Baphomet... Therefore, Erica and Paul both instinctively resist overly blasphemous statements.

Even though Erica believes the All-Powerful God should not exist, and cannot possibly appear...

She still unwillingly entertains thoughts about the relationship between the Trinity God in the Bible and the Trimutri in Hindu mythology.

"It’s Karchi..."

At this moment, a faint voice quivered.

"No, no... I’m not sure... it might also be Revelation..."

Banriya Yuri’s face showed a painful expression, her body trembling slightly. Amilia was immediately startled and hurriedly grasped Miss Witch’s shoulder with one hand, while her other tightly clasped Miss Witch’s delicate hand, continuously pouring her Holy Power into her.

Sacred Magic Qi is a positively oriented emotion, neither overbearing nor brutal, but vibrant and sunny, possessing great malleability, being somewhat weaker in destructive power but showing significant enhancement in restorative and healing aspects.

Even though it’s unclear how effective it might be, since this Miss Witch’s foresight seems to bear not physical harm but an intangible, heavy burden on her body and mind, combined with immense exhaustion as the cause of her discomfort, Amilia still hoped to use her power to ease her burden.

Under the shroud of the purest Sacred Magic Qi, Banriya Yuri seemed somewhat relieved from that immense pain and discomfort. She kept her eyes tightly shut, murmuring softly:

"A knight riding a white horse, holding a Fire Sword..."

"I, I can only see this much... can’t interpret more symbols..."

At this point, it seemed the pain surpassed a threshold once more, causing her to stifle a gentle moan, ceasing her speech while instinctively gripping Amilia’s hand tighter, her slender fingers exerting considerable strength.

With the unconscious burst of Spiritual Power, even Miss Brave felt a slight pang of pain.
