Chapter Title: Don't Mess Around. The Sun Church is Invincible. Kim Taeyang is a God.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
My arm was back.
It must've gotten healed along with Abigail's eyes as we crossed through the gate.
That said, why'd that alien god suddenly chicken out and run away?
I figured he'd run into Hades and get mocked like, "Dead again? What a loser…."
Well, whatever. I didn't die, so lucky me!
Abigail, thrilled to have her sight restored, grabbed my hand and shouted.
"It must be my reward for living as a sow?! Thank you for accepting me as one!!"
"Hey. I didn't even do anything—"
"That humility! From now on, I'll live practicing sacrifice, humility, and humor! Oink—"
"Hah…? What's with the oink?"
"It's my vow to live as a sow! Oink—"
"……."
Abigail had turned into a total zealot.
She looked like she could use some rest….
Meanwhile, someone had come to celebrate our safe return.
"You guys… how in the world…?"
Her face was ashen, like cement.
It was Justice Guild Master Park Hee-yeon.
"Hey! Guild Master Sow!! Come to celebrate? Heh heh heh."
"……."
"Whatcha got there? Champagne?"
"Th-this is—"
"Hand it over!"
I snatched the champagne.
Looks pricey?
Save it for boosting heroine affection later.
"W-well… congrats on making it back…."
"Hah?!!! Why does the celebrator look like that?!!! You really happy for us?!!!!"
"Of course…. Can't you see me smiling…?"
"Hey, hey. Anyone can tell that's a forced smile. Just grimace and prep your sow dance."
"Sow… dance?"
"Hah? Forgot already? Didn't you sign that pledge? If I cleared the dungeon, you'd do the sow dance in front of the guild…!"
"!"
Park Hee-yeon's shoulders trembled.
She must've just remembered the bet.
Truth be told, I didn't really wanna see some sow dance.
For real.
I'm no sadistic creep who'd enjoy a cool beauty guild master in her early thirties shaking her hips in sexual humiliation.
"A guild master sow shaking her fat ass 'cause she's desperate to get pregnant—what a riot!!!"
"……."
Anyway.
The reason I needed to keep Park Hee-yeon on edge was clear.
My next goal: Take over the guild.
Among the dungeons Justice manages, there's a honey pot with guaranteed growth and rewards.
Planning to assign me and the heroines there.
In other words, the sow dance could be a bargaining chip.
"Guild Master Sow. Practice the funniest dance you can. I'll call you soon. Heh heh heh."
"W-wait a sec—"
"Guild Master! You must become a sow!"
"Abigail? What nonsense is that?"
The guild master got held up by Abigail.
I slipped away from the scene.
'Like a virus, I'll infiltrate!'
I'll suck every last drop of honey from that guild!
Thanks for the meal, Justice Guild!!!
*
Sun Church!
The new religion based on the path of sacrifice shown by Kim Taeyang.
Abigail was busy preparing the founding ceremony.
Thanks to that, Archangel Fortis was practically forgotten.
Fortis finally couldn't take it and manifested in female form.
"Abigail! Are you truly turning a deaf ear to the voice of heaven?!"
'Oh right. Lady Fortis!'
Abigail finally "noticed" Fortis's presence.
Maybe the dungeon experience was too intense.
She'd completely forgotten about the constellation Fortis.
Because right now, to Abigail, "god" meant only one: Kim Taeyang….
"No way. I was just acting to lower his guard…."
"Acting? Were you an aspiring actress? You were bawling your eyes out."
"You admit he's no ordinary guy, right, Lady Constellation?"
"Well… yeah."
"To deal with him, we gotta be thorough. Go back to ring form for now. I have something to tell you in secret…."
"Hope it's a solid plan."
Fortis reverted to ring form.
Abigail headed to her office and opened a drawer.
Inside was a ring case.
Not your average one.
A mana-blocking case. Put Fortis in there, and she'd be practically sealed.
"Lady Fortis. Here's your choice."
"Abigail? Wh-what is this?! My mana’s getting sucked away!"
"Abandon the Church of Heaven and join the Sun Church. Or I'll never let you out of this case."
"What…?!"
Of course, a constellation like Fortis could eventually break free.
But it'd take time and effort.
"Say it quick. Pledge to serve the Sun Church."
"Don't make me laugh, Abigail. You'll face judgment. Not just you—the Sun Church heresy too—"
"Lady Fortis."
Abigail cut her off.
Her expression was utterly serene.
So serene it was creepy.
"Don't mess around. The Sun Church is invincible. Kim Taeyang is a god."
"Abigail…!"
Abigail smiled and gave her final farewell.
"May you awaken to the sow's heart in there."
"Nooooooo—!"
Click.
The ring case shut.
At the same moment, someone knocked.
"It's Michaela. Sister, are you in?"
"Come in."
I'd figured she'd show up.
They were both from the Church of Heaven.
Abigail had been tasked with spreading it in Justice.
And as an S-rank hero, she handled its public image too.
Her defection? Heaven's Church wouldn't sit idle.
Michaela entered and grabbed Abigail's hands, suddenly praying.
"O shining guardians who forever protect us, heed our prayers…."
"Michaela. Let go."
"Sister. This isn't the time to act tough. Reclaim your faith as a Child of Heaven…!"
Abigail just looked at her with pity.
Michaela felt a bit overwhelmed.
"Michaela. You went into the dungeon with the Guide… no, Lord Kim Taeyang, right?"
"Yeah?"
"And you didn't feel anything special?"
"Sp-special…?"
Michaela blushed, recalling the glimpse of Kim Taeyang's dick size.
'It was special….'
Definitely huge. Even an innocent like her could tell.
"You look like you're thinking something weird. Not that—something divine. Didn't you feel holiness from Lord Kim Taeyang? Or witness a miracle?"
"?"
Abigail seemed out of her mind.
"Salvation isn't just in the Church of Heaven. Kim Taeyang walks his own path to it. I was utterly captivated and swore to live as a Sun Church follower."
"Wait, hold up. Did you two… do it?"
"Do what?"
Michaela whispered in Abigail's ear.
"…Sex. Sex."
"……?"
Now Abigail was flustered.
Sex out of nowhere.
No clue why she'd ask that.
"No idea what you're talking about…. Anyway, I'm done with the Church of Heaven."
Very firm.
Michaela had no choice but to give up.
"Take care."
Only after leaving the guild building did she commune with Luminous.
"Lady Luminous. Why's Kim Taeyang trying to sabotage the Church of Heaven?"
"Maybe the revelation's real."
"That he's Asmodeus's minion? But what he showed in Pink Room was different."
"Don't be naive. What if it's a high-level smokescreen?"
"Hmm……."
Abigail was a big shot in Heaven's Church.
Her falling for Kim Taeyang meant some followers would convert soon. Obvious.
"This concerns our religion's—no, the world's salvation."
"Yeah. Might spark a modern religious war…."
No time to waste now.
Michaela decided to accelerate the plan.
She made a call.
"Titan's Wrath operation starts now."
Titan's Wrath.
The op to shut down Ark.
-Need time to assemble professors and shape opinion….
"Prep as fast as possible. And keep it secret—no one knows, not even left hand what right hand's doing. Got it?"
-I'll make it so secret even I'll forget.
*
"Hah?!! Titan's Wrath?!!! What kinda lame, childish name is that?!!!!"
Vice Head called out of the blue.
Something fishy brewing with the professor council.
Turns out they're planning some operation….
-Heaven's Church and professors teamed up. Guidance Committee's wiretap says goal's closing Ark.
Heaven's Church and professors?
Knew professors might backstab someday.
Didn't expect Heaven's Church.
No real worry though.
Kim An-kyung's Guidance Committee set up 24/7 campus surveillance.
Sit tight, and their plan falls into my lap.
Of course, wiretapping's illegal.
But it's all for world's salvation.
I don't pick means or methods for my goals.
Call it "righteous crime"?
Pfft~ Trash~ Won't stick.
Possessors get a pass!
"Hey, sis. Keep watching and report anything weird."
-Got it.
"Hanging up."
-Wait…!
Shin Hye-won called urgently.
"Hah? What?"
-N-nothing big… you super busy lately?
"Hey, hey! Not following my news?!! Just back from S-rank dungeon three days ago!!! Swamped!!!"
-Oh, of course I followed it all! Just casual chat—sorry if it annoyed you!
"…So what're you getting at?"
Shin Hye-won hemmed and hawed forever.
Awkward silence just to hear her out.
-As a professor, asking this is shameless and embarrassing…. But everyone else is doing it but me….
"Doing what?"
-Fr-free PT…! Like you promised me before… still remember?
Free personal training? That's it?
Why drag it out for PT request?
That embarrassing for a prof to get free PT from a student?
Then don't ask!!! Gahhh!!!!!
-I can fit the time and place! Call anytime, I'll come running—if you're okay with it….
"Hey, sis! Still hung up on it?!! Know what happens if you love freebies that much?!! Huh?!!!"
-My bad…!! Not 'cause it's free!!! I'll pay whatever!!!
Kinda pitiful too.
Shin Hye-won's top-tier swordswoman, but stuck as eternal runner-up to era's genius.
My radical overload PT might be her last hope.
"Hey, sis. You listening?"
-Yes…!
"Soon as school's back, I'll wreck you once. But till then, train solo hard."
-S-solo?!
"Keep stimulating consistently! Makes PT smoother! Use machines too! Better stimulus, less injury for newbies."
-Injury…? Common solo?"
"Never injured, sis? Flaunting that tough talent? Heh heh heh."
-N-no. I'll use machines.
"Be ready next time! Won't walk out!!!"
-……Can't wait!!!!!
Voice all hyped.
Knew she wanted it, should've done sooner….
Fun rolling a professor around.
Get ready, Shin Hye-won!
I'll make you regret!
After hanging up, I headed to the guild basement.
Floor for club rooms. Today: Abigail's "founding ceremony."
Yeah.
Her blind faith didn't stop.
She straight-up made the "Sun Church" cult.
Even registered as official guild club, recruiting believers already.
Seol Harin waited out front.
"You. Farm's whatever, but religion's too much, no?"
Seol Harin didn't like the religion founding.
Farm less wholesome than religion…?
"Hey. Milk me."
"Already did? Here, fresh from ten minutes ago."
"Heh heh heh. Prepared milk boy, good job? Where'd you learn such thoroughness?"
"You drilled it into me. Don't play dumb."
"Hey. Never taught that…?"
"You did. Drink up."
Really don't remember….
Now she credits me for everything….
Who’s master here…?
"Taeyang! Not late, right?"
"Nah—hasn't started."
Lena came rushing in.
"Sorry! Straight from guild work!"
Lena fixed her messy hair.
Looked like she bolted right after finishing.
"But what's this? Sun Church…?"
"Sow from the dungeon's starting a religion for me."
"So a religion worshiping you! Totally needed!"
"Hah…?"
Lena clasped hands, eyes sparkling.
"Females follow strong males—that's natural order. But world's flipping it?"
"……."
Lena's no normal one either.
This world has no normals to begin with.
I'm the only sane one!!!
"Guide! All set!"
Abigail opened the door, welcoming us.
"Let's head in?"
Followed her inside.
"Hah…? Whoa…! This is way too legit…?!"
I was shocked.
Abigail's club room was insanely serious.
Remodeled inside? Like a mini auditorium.
Interior mimicked a real church.
Dozens of long pews, piano, drums, instruments galore.
One wall crammed with mystery "Sow Doctrine" cult scribbles.
Slapped-on money vibe: tacky, rootless.
"Here, our Justice Sun Church followers will gather and pray! We'll cultivate true sows through humility, humor, and sacrifice!"
Crowning the tackiness: the podium statue.
"Introducing! Our Sun Church symbol…!"
Shwoosh!
"……."
"……."
We fell silent facing it.
My statue.
One-armed Kim Taeyang.
Riding a sow (woman), flicking tongue between fingers…!
Even kinda cowboy-ish…!
"Kim Taeyang astride the sow! Sacred image Sun Church followers face daily!! Guide! Up on the podium?"
"Hah…?"
"Outfit ready too!"
I went along.
"Outfit": Gold Hawaiian shirt.
Gold flip-flops, gold sunglasses…!
Tacky…!
Insanely tacky…!!
Perfect cult…!!!
"Aah… so beautiful…! Kim Taeyang…! You're a god…!!!"
Abigail knelt, tears flowing.
"Hail the dick…."
"Hail…."
Seol Harin and Lena knelt too, casually.
Just us three now.
But I could see it.
The church packed with sow believers…!!
