Chapter 65: They Listen to God

Nanako: "!!!!"

She stared wide-eyed, looked down, and instantly went crazy. "Again! Again! Nanako doesn't believe a Great Archmage can be stumped by such a small body part!!"

(▼ヘ▼#)

Hummm—— Another flash of faint light.

"How about now?" Nanako gritted her teeth.

The mage girl screamed: "Gone! It's gone! It's even starting to look concave! It's caving in!"

Nanako: (ΩДΩ)!!!

"..."

After a long time. After several more failed attempts.

Lynn couldn't watch anymore. He sighed, reached into his backpack, took out two Small Bread Buns, and handed them to his Master with pity.

"Master, use these to pad it first... Some things cannot be forced..."

Nanako stared blankly. "Can I use something else... Master... doesn't want to use buns..."

Because... I've used them many times before...

Lynn wiped his moist eyes. "Okay, I'll change it for you!"

Then he opened his backpack. His gaze landed on the Two Watermelons sitting inside.

[ A Few Minutes Later ]

Nanako, now disguised as Saint Anna, walked toward the Pig Farm with Lynn.

Seeing someone approach, the soldiers guarding the gate shouted immediately: "Halt! Archbishop Saint Anna ordered that no one is allowed..."

But before he could finish his sentence. He saw Nanako (disguised as Saint Anna).

Instantly. They were shocked.

Saint... Princess Anna? Is this Lady Saint Anna?

Why does it feel a bit wrong! When we saw her earlier, she wasn't this... magnificent! How did she suddenly... This scale is simply skyrocketing! Will her Center of Gravity be okay?!

They stood petrified.

Nanako (Saint Anna) glanced at them. Mimicking Saint Anna’s cold tone, she said:

"What are you looking at? If you don't want your eyes, I'll dig them out right now!"

The soldiers trembled instantly. They quickly knelt on one knee, lowering their weapons. "We didn't know Her Highness had arrived! Please forgive us!"

Nanako looked at the locked gate and asked coldly: "Where are the residents?"

The soldier hurriedly said, "Reporting to Your Highness! Following your orders, all cursed residents are locked inside. We haven't slacked off at all. We guarantee not a single one escaped!"

"Open the gate! I want to go in and take a look!" Nanako scolded coldly.

The soldier dared not delay. He quickly took out the keys and unlocked the gate. Creak. He pushed the door open and retreated carefully, afraid to offend this high-ranking Church official.

Although the soldiers were confused why Saint Anna wasn't accompanied by her Spellbreakers but by two random mages... They naturally didn't dare to ask.

They stepped through the gate.

And in the next moment. When Nanako and Lynn saw the scene inside, their bodies shook. Even Lynn couldn't help but frown slightly.

Inside the gate. A stench assaulted their noses. Behind the lower railings, hundreds of pigs were crowded together in a muddy area. The foul smell made one want to retreat three miles.

Seeing this, the anger in Nanako’s eyes almost erupted. She had never seen such a scene.

They are humans! Even if they turned into pigs, they are still humans! And now, they are kept here like livestock...

"Unforgivable..." Nanako whispered, suppressing her rage. Her fist clenched inside her sleeve.

What made her feel even worse was... The cursed residents (pigs) just looked up at her with muddy eyes, then numbly looked down again. They didn't even have eyes of hatred.

"Disciple," Nanako whispered. "Why don't they hate me? Don't they want to kill me?" (Referring to her disguise as Saint Anna).

Lynn took a deep breath and looked up. "I'm not sure, Master."

[ Inner Voice ] [ No. I know very well. ]

[ Inner Voice ] [ To tell the truth, in a sense, the people at the bottom of this world... are living lives worse than pigs. ]

[ Inner Voice ] [ Because no one cares if they live or die. No one cares what they think. They are just tools to be ruled. ]

[ Inner Voice ] [ In my previous world, oppression would at least spark a fire of resistance... ]

[ Inner Voice ] [ But in this world, any resistance is easily suppressed by the Church and Royalty who wield supernatural power. To them, the Royalty and the Church are Gods who can never be resisted. ]

Lynn turned his head, staring at the trembling expression on Nanako’s face. He reached out. And held her cold little hand.

[ Inner Voice ] [ Even if you kill a God... if you don't have the courage for complete revolution, only a new God will appear. The cycle continues, eternal and unchanging. ]

Hearing her disciple's thoughts, Nanako bit her lip. To be honest. She never knew this before. She grew up in Winterspring. She always thought the outside world was as beautiful as Winterspring. As a Deacon, the people she contacted were always Royalty and High-Ranking Officials. What she saw was always a magnificent life...

She never thought... Never thought...

In an instant. She raised her head, gritted her teeth, and shouted: "You are free! I will find a way to lift your curse! From now on, no one will lock you up again!"

She waved her hand forcefully. BOOM. The surrounding fences were blasted open by magical energy. Rumble—— The fences collapsed.

Silence. The pigs raised their heads numbly. But not a single one stepped out of the broken fence.

Nanako trembled. "Go! I told you to go!"

But still, no one moved. [ Learned Helplessness ]

Seeing this. Lynn sighed. He stepped forward, looked down at the cursed residents below the railing, and smiled.

"Everyone, do not be nervous, do not be afraid. You should have heard it!" "Her Highness Saint Anna is a Saint of God! In the name of the Gods, Her Highness now officially announces the PARDON of your crimes!"

The pigs trembled instantly.

Then, under Nanako’s trembling gaze, the pigs knelt down, prostrating and kowtowing in her direction. Gu lu lu... They made sounds. Nanako understood the meaning without needing translation...

They are... Thanking her...

Lynn closed his eyes, clasping his hands together with a smile. "God will bless you. Go home now. Don't worry about your changes. That was just God's test for you. As long as you survive this test, you will receive God's grace."

Slowly, the pigs quieted down, their eyes full of gratitude. Then, one by one, they walked out. When passing by Lynn, they would stop and grunt a few words of thanks.

Nanako’s eyes suddenly became red. Uncomfortable. Very uncomfortable.

"Why do they listen to you?" Nanako asked, her eyes red. "Clearly... Clearly..."

Lynn patted her shoulder and shook his head.

"They are not listening to me. They are listening to God."

Nanako shook all over, staring blankly at his face.

"Listening to God..." Nanako repeated those words silently.
