Glenda returned to the Holy Capital of Lubelius.
Well actually, it is Demoki, an Archdemon who is now using her body. With her Unique Skill [Assassin], and Anti-Magic Mask's properties imbubed into her existence, anyone without an Ultimate Skill or Universal Perception wouldn't be able to tell that she is actually a demon.
Instead of going to Granbell, she went directly to the Ten Great Saints of Western Holy Church.
Having urgently called a meeting, she stood before the seven Enlightened humans and Two Incomplete saints who arrogantly call themselves the Ten Great Saints.
At the very least, only Hinata is stronger than her here, and Saare might be a close match.
In any case, she began her report.
"I was sent on orders of the Luminary Gran to assassinate Apolloyon Nava. However, I was caught. My locking curse was removed, and I was told to deliver a message."
"What!? You are an otherworlder, Glenda!?"
She nodded to Saare's question, and said, "That's not what is important right now.
He told me that the God of Western Holy Church is actually Demon Lord Luminous Valentine, and the current Demon Lord Valentin works under her!"
"Hey now, are you really going to believe such absurd words of a monster?"
Garde shrugged at this information, but Hinata frowned.
'...How could he know Luminous-sama's true identity?'
"I don't care whether you believe it or not. But, she is a Vampire, with the Unique Skill Lust! She is using our faith to gain power, and has gotten the Storm Dragon Veldora under her control!"
"What!?"
"I am just delivering the message. Don't 'What!?' me. Since the Church tried to kill him, he has announced a Trial of Heroes, that as the adopted son of the Creator Dragon Veldanava, he will choose people who pass the trial and make them True Chosen Heroes, like the one who sealed Veldora in the past.
Not a fake like our leader here. You already know that the 'God' is a monster, a vampire, right?"
Hinata hesitated whether to admit it. But Demoki continued without giving her a chance.
"Anyway, he has invited us to take the trial as well, after denouncing Luminism and severing ties with this religion and country.
The prerequisite of taking on the trial is to denounce Luminism and any country following Luminism.
So that even if someone becomes a True Chosen Hero, they can't serve the country which follows Luminism."
Everyone felt silent.
Everyone present wants to become a Hero, obviously. But can they really trust the words of a monster?
And, is their God really a vampire, a monster?
"Ah. I heard that Sarion is also participating. I saw the Empress Elmesia myself. And, she knew that the god of Luminism is the ancient Demon Lord Luminous."
"Sarion!? Those non-believers!? And Elmesia herself was there!?"
Elmesia is seen by only a handful of people outside Sarion. Whoever has the opportunity to meet her is considered blessed.
Hinata frowned and asked Glenda, "Why did he spare you? And, what if it was a ruse, and Elmesia wasn't actually—"
Just then, everyone felt the sheer terror of power. Even Hinata started sweating as a demonic gate appeared in their meeting room.
And from it, walked the first and most powerful Demon Lord, the only equal to Milim.
Demon Lord Guy.
Hinata attacked him, but he casually swapped his hand and sent her flying.
He smirked as he saw Glenda, who is actually an Archdemon from Noir's lineage.
And Noir's small lineage isn't supposed to have any Archdemon aside from Noir himself.
Then, he turned to Rain.
"Didn't I tell you to take me to Luminous? Why did you bring me here?"
Rain was confused herself.
"It feels like someone interfered with my magic—"
"Stop making excuses."
Guy thought that she was just making excuses, and looked at Hinata who was getting up.
"Well, atleast you are brave enough to get up. Though your brain is full of shit if you are trying to attack me again instead of running away.
Luminous! Get your ass here!"
As he shouted, the God of Luminism finally arrived.
The ancient Demon Lord, Luminous Valentine.
"Why are you disturbing me, Guy?"
Along with...
The True Chosen Hero of Time, Chronoa.
