Whooooosh!0

Eugene was still connected to the light that the priests and the Saint had generated. As he fell towards the city, Eugene raised his head to look up into the air.2

A thread was connecting Eugene to Raimira, who was flying high above him. That’s right, the light leading down from the sky towards Eugene looked like a thin thread.0

If Eugene had to use a simile to describe it, his appearance reminded him of a marionette, as if a doll was being held up by a string that had come down from the heavens.0

…A doll? Eugene let out a snort and shook his head.0

Eugene wasn’t a doll. He could be sure of that. This thread wasn’t something that the God of Light had connected to Eugene in order to control him like a puppet. Instead, it was an expression of the god’s unconditional and infinite love. The purpose of the thread was to ensure that Eugene’s attacks wouldn’t miss, he wouldn’t get hurt, and he wouldn’t die.1

“How burdensome,” Eugene complained.3

It was only natural for a god to love his believers. Moreover, Eugene wasn’t just any ordinary believer but the Hero chosen by the god. Although the God of Light usually gave off an indifferent feeling, it was only natural for him to bestow his infinite love upon Eugene.0

Until now, there had been several times when Eugene experienced the miracles bestowed by the God of Light. However, he had never once received a direct revelation from the God of Light, and that was still the case even now. Eugene couldn’t hear any voices trying to speak to him.0

He took the Light’s silence as the god’s acquiescence towards his action.2

No matter what Eugene did with it, the light would not refuse to cooperate. Even if Eugene were to invade the Holy Empire, murder the Pope, and massacre tens of thousands of believers, the God of Light would continue to lend Eugene as much strength as he desired.0

[Sir Eugene,] Kristina’s voice was heard inside Eugene’s head.0

“There’s no point in you coming down here, so just stay up there,” Eugene ordered her.0

Kristina tried to argue, [But—]0

Eugene cut her off, “You can feel it too, can’t you? Even without you coming down here and following after me…...0
