EP.303 Forced Conversion #2

After reciting the fake baptism ceremony in front of Hye-yoon, I felt slightly disappointed seeing her completely motionless.

It seemed like there was no change even after a long time had passed.

“Now, the soul of Song Hye-yoon, who has been forgiven of her sins, belongs to the Adeline Church. As a low-ranking believer who cannot be promoted, you shall dedicate your life to serving the church.”

“…..”

Hye-yoon stared blankly into space.

It didn’t seem like she had lost her sanity, though…

Minji had mentioned it. The head of the construction company’s partner, who had received compensation last time, became extremely aggressive after receiving Adelle’s corrupted divine power.

Shouldn’t something similar have happened here?

After roughly drawing a cross on Hye-yoon, I turned to Adelle.

She was staring intently at Hye-yoon.

“Why is she so dazed? Does she not realize her position?”

“Hmm… Maybe, as an uncivilized human who hasn’t been tamed yet, she’s feeling guilty for betraying her faith?”

“Mmm…! That could be it. Normally, punishment would be in order, but… since the pain of betrayal is great, let’s let it slide.”

“As expected, Adelle is merciful. I’m moved.”

Adelle’s mouth stretched wide at the sugary praise.

With her smile reaching her ears, she spoke frivolously.

“Let’s end today’s trial here. Priest Kim Minji, please provide a room for this insignificant believer…”

“G-God…!”

Adelle was startled.

Hye-yoon had suddenly spoken to her like that.

Clang clang clang clang!

She was even struggling to break free from the conversion platform.

Frightened by her seemingly convulsive behavior, Adelle quickly hid behind me.

Then, she peeked out to look at Hye-yoon.

“W-What is this insignificant one doing…? Is she insane…?”

“She just called you a god. It seems she’s accepted the sacred blood. Try giving her an order.”

“An order…? Order… Behave! You ignorant thing!”

Adelle shrieked.

Then, as if by magic, all of Hye-yoon’s actions stopped.

A stark contrast to her previous frantic behavior.

Adelle’s mouth hung open.

“S-She really listened to me…!”

“She’s been converted. Congratulations, Adelle.”

“I-Is this something to congratulate…? It looks like she’s been hypnotized or something…?”

“Isn’t it natural? I did say Song Hye-yoon’s soul belongs to the Adeline Church.”

Adelle tilted her head.

“Even so… Priest Kim Minji’s soul also belongs to our church, but she’s not as foolish as that…”

“Priest Kim Minji was already a believer with the right mindset. Song Hye-yoon is a completely different entity.”

“T-That’s true, but… it’s strange… It feels like I used some kind of force…”

That thought was correct.

Song Hye-yoon had become Adelle’s retainer.

This meant Adelle had gained a special ability.

A very evil ability, contrary to the laws of the Rosario Church.

I was so happy I could’ve shouted, but there was one more experiment left to try.

Clearing my throat, I asked Hye-yoon.

“Believer Song Hye-yoon, do you have parents or siblings?”

Hye-yoon answered in an emotionless tone.

“Yes… I have a father, mother, and younger sister…”

“Kill them.”

“I obey the cult leader’s command…”

Adelle gasped.

“J-Jihyuk…! What are you saying…!”

I smiled at Adelle and calmed her down.

“It’s just an experiment. Believer Song Hye-yoon, forget the previous order. Understood?”

“Yes, I will forget…”

“Good. From now on, act as usual and fulfill your duties.”

“Understood, cult leader…”

I signaled to Minji.

To separate Hye-yoon and observe the situation.

She nodded slightly, understanding my intention, and took Hye-yoon outside.

The quiet courtroom.

Adelle fanned herself as she approached me.

“Jihyuk…! What kind of experiment were you trying to do by giving such a terrifying command…?”

“Believer Song Hye-yoon became a believer by receiving only Adelle’s sacred blood, right?”

“Yes…”

“But Believer Song Hye-yoon tried to follow my command too. This is proof that my soul and Adelle’s are connected. I wanted to test this.”

After hearing the explanation, Adelle put her hands on her hips and scolded me.

“I’m disappointed! We all knew that your soul and mine are connected. Did you really have to test it?”

“I was worried. That Adelle might disappear at any moment.”

“Why would you think I’d leave you? That would never, ever happen!”

I hugged the fuming Adelle, supporting her bottom with my arm.

Then, I walked out of the courtroom and down the corridor, apologizing.

“I’m sorry.”

Adelle, dangling from me, snorted.

“I really hate it…! I’m so upset with you…!”

“Forgive me.”

“Hmm…!”

Adelle pouted and mumbled.

I guess she wants a kiss to forgive me.

I gave her a loud, affectionate kiss, and as expected, Adelle’s expression softened.

“I’ll let it slide just this once.”

“Thank you.”

“But… I feel like we forced her conversion in an evil way. Like something evil gods would do…”

“We are the ones who can distinguish good from evil. What we do is good, and what we reject is evil.”

“That’s too arrogant…”

“We are moving for Earth’s peace, and further, for the peace of the universe. We’re doing good. Isn’t that what good is?”

Adelle, deep in thought, nodded.

“You’re right… We are moving to create a good environment for all life in the universe. For the greater good, everything we do is good.”

“Exactly. Adelle is gradually gaining the dignity of a god.”

Adelle smiled brightly at the praise.

I laid Adelle down in the bedroom and hugged her tightly, thinking.

This incident confirmed it.

Adelle was sharing my power, and her corruption was complete.

No, it was already far along.

Her evil personality, values, and actions… She wasn’t a demon yet, but she was close.

But why hasn’t her appearance changed?

Her eyes and demon realm aside… the rest remains the same.

Strange. But since the process is visible, let’s keep going like this.

“Adelle.”

“Yes?”

“You’ve received divine revelations, right?”

“Of course.”

“Do you still believe in the revelations from Rosario?”

Adelle flinched and scolded me.

“Jihyuk…! Even if you’ve gained the qualifications of a god, you must still respect Rosario-sama…”

“I am Adelle’s only god. So, it’s not right to show respect to a god like Rosario.”

“Ah…! You’re so arrogant. The higher you rise, the more humble you should be to gain followers.”

It still sounds like remnants of Rosario remain.

I’m so sick of it… I need to drive out that bug in Adelle’s heart.

“Let’s do this. Adelle, you’ve received revelations from me, not Rosario.”

“Huh…?”

“From now on, I command you. Destroy Helix’s schemes, rescue the Beast Slayers from their grasp, and bring peace to Earth. This is a revelation from me, your only god.”

This was the most serious tone I’ve ever used with Adelle.

Did she like this attitude? Adelle, trembling, answered.

“O-Okay… Jihyuk…”

“Unlike Rosario, who only gives revelations and never shows his face, I can guide you. Even if you’re trapped, I’ll always find an exit by your side, and we’ll work together.”

“…..”

I could see Adelle deeply accepting my words.

After a brief pause, I continued.

“Our top priority is Earth’s peace. Right now, over two hundred world leaders are fighting for their own interests. They’re always ready to stab each other in the back, waiting for the right moment.”

“That’s right… Pathetic beings… So foolish…”

“They’re shouting for peace because of the common enemy, demons, but it’s only superficial. We’re in a cold war where a real war could break out at any moment.”

“Mmm…!”

“Also, ordinary citizens commit crimes to protect their privileges and ambitions. Can this be called peace? Wouldn’t it be better if I conquered Earth and ruled all humans?”

Adelle flinched as I subtly revealed my ambition.

“C-Conquer…?”

“Even if I become a dictator, if it prevents trouble, isn’t that peace? I plan to make all Earthlings follow the Adeline Church and grant them salvation. Those who don’t will be treated as heretics and severely punished.”

After finishing, I started kissing Adelle all over while fondling her body.

It was to give her pleasure so she wouldn’t think of anything else.

“Huaa…♡”

I licked her smooth neck, leaving a kiss mark, and Adelle let out a sweet moan, grabbing my hair.

After giving her mindless pleasure for a while, I pulled away.

“To achieve our goal, many people will have to be sacrificed. But for the greater good, I hope you understand. Okay?”

“Huu… Let me think… Huaaa…♡ Don’t touch there…!”

She’s not even wearing panties? Seriously sexy.

I moved my hand below, making Adelle squirm, and slowly removed her slip, asking again.

“Okay?”

“I don’t know… I don’t know…♡”

“Adelle, you said it. We’re moving to create a good environment for all life in the universe. That perfectly aligns with my path.”

“Huu… Hu…!”

Adelle’s breathing became rough in an instant.

I smirked and bit my lip, drawing dark red blood filled with malice.

Then, I smeared it on Adelle’s lips, tempting her.

I didn’t forget to let some drip into her mouth occasionally.

Tasting the addictive blood, Adelle craved more of the sacred blood.

“Sacred blood… Jihyuk’s sacred blood… I want to drink this…♡ More…”

“Not yet.”

“Why…! I hate it…! I want to drink it…♡”

“Look down. The divine mark I gave you is glowing.”

“Huh…?”

Adelle looked down at her lower abdomen.

Her demon realm was emitting a red light.

Staring at it, Adelle’s expression became dazed.

Seizing the moment, I said.

“This is proof that Adelle deeply agrees with my will. Right?”

“Y-Yes…! That’s right…! Give it to me…!”

“Okay. Now, say ‘Ah.'”

“Aaaaah…!”

Adelle stuck out her tongue and opened her mouth wide.

She really wants to drink it.

As I was about to pour the sacred blood into Adelle’s mouth,

Beep-! Beep-!

Adelle’s device and my phone made loud noises, making me frown.

“Hah…!”

Adelle’s dazed eyes returned to normal.

Instinctively checking her device, she suddenly sat up.

Even though I was on top of her.

Thud!

“Ugh!”

We hit our heads hard.

How did we end up in a comedy TV show-like situation?

The mood was ruined.

Anyway, the device ringing meant…

Sehwa and Yuria had sent a demon they couldn’t handle here.

Who could it be? At least an S-rank…

Actually, this is good.

After dealing with it, I’ll subtly reveal to Adelle that I’m Tairat.
