God Of Cheat

Chapter 12: Dance Of Light [2]

'I should be mad at you for calling me an idiot but I think you're right... about this anyway.'

As Shen Zuobi looked around the gigantic room, there was multiple drops of sweat going down from his face all the way to the very tip of his toes.

Ranging from a really young kid to a very old elder, everyone was bowing down to him and even himself didn't know why.

'Is holy energy this important?'

"Master... I am sorry for even thinking that you was an imposter. I beg you for your forgiveness." The High Messenger pleaded while still bowing down to Shen Zuobi.

Shen Zuobi wiped the sweat off his face and when he knew that he couldn't get out of the situation by himself, he resorted to his only option.

'[System] can you help me out? I'm in quite a pickle right now.'

[Quite a pickle. If this is only quite a pickle then what will happen if you're in a big pickle?]

Shen Zuobi's embarrassment raised and flew through the rooftop. Wanting to hide his head in a hole he made a decision. When he gets stronger, he will go around a face smack others like the system did to him.

[That's quite an impressive goal. Anyway, there's not that much choices you have. You will have to accept the situation and become the owner of the Church of Hevera.]

"I have to..." Shen Zuobi was so surprised that he spoke his next words out loud. 'I mean... I have to become the owner of the church? How does that even work? It's not like the one with the most holy energy is automatically the owner right?'

[I don't know if you are actually smart or if you're just so stupid that you seem smart because you are correct. The person with the most holy energy is automatically the owner of the church but this is only happens if you believe in the god and the church.]

'Oh that's easy then. I can just tell them that I don't believe in Hevera and the church.'

[Then they will most likely join forces and try their best to kill you.]

Shen Zionist looked at the seemingly harmless people still bowing and imaged them trying to kill him. 'Why in the world would they do that?'

[So that you don't go to another church. Churches are like kingdoms. They have to fight for superiority and those with higher superiority is allowed to command those lower than them. The Church of Hevera has been in a 3-way war between 2 other churches. If you go to the other churches then that means that the Church of Hevera would definitely lose the battle so they would try to kill you even if it means that they'll die trying.]

Shen Zuobi was amazed by the fact that churches in this world was way more brutal than the ones back on Earth. 'What do you mean by fighting for superiority? You act like they have a gigantic tournament where hundreds of thousands of churches come together and have the owners from each church fight each other using holy energy.'

[Once again I don't know if you're smart or stupid. Somehow you are guessing everything and you'be been correct about them all.]

Even he himself was getting confused on whether or not he was smart of stupid. 'What does it mean to be an owner of a church?'

[It means that you can command all the believers of the church but of course you have responsibilities. You have to fight in the tournament that occurs every year, grow branches of the church in different areas, join in the battle against the demons, and a lot more.]

Having no other choices but to accept the role as the owner of the church. 'Who was the previous owner... I mean the current owner?'

[That would be the High Messenger. Only the owner is allowed to pass on the baton so I suspect that he will be the first one to ask you.]
