Seoul Dragon - Chapter 80

However, Cardinal Kim Soo-jung Paulo hearing Yahweh's voice could not happen.

As an ordinary human, he could only faint the moment he heard Yahweh's voice.

"......Father."

-......

And silence flowed between Yahweh and Hangyeol as they looked at the fainted Cardinal.

Of course, the same for me.

"Why did You even manifest as the Holy Spirit...... Did You think ordinary humans could withstand seeing You?"

-I knew humans were weak, but I didn't know they were this weak.

"You are omniscient and omnipotent Father, yet You didn't know human frailty."

-......Humans of the past were not this weak. Thinking based on that time, there's bound to be some margin of error. Humans of the past didn't faint from hearing My voice.

"So what brought You down here?"

-You seemed like a child left by the water's edge, so I came down. I went to the trouble of making you a Seraphim, but you were just worrying in your room, how could I not worry?

What kind of conversation is this?

So Yahweh came down because He was worried about how Hangyeol was acting?

-That's right, dragon.

"Oh, You read my mind?"

-I am omniscient and omnipotent, so there's nothing I don't know.

"I see."

I understood immediately.

"But Father, is there a particular reason You made me a Seraphim? There are plenty of other people who mutated besides me."

-That is because you were a child who believed in Me from birth, and also because you have a reliable ally beside you to protect you.

My existence was the reason Hangyeol became an angel?

Why?

"By ally...... You mean Seohyun, right?"

-That's right. The world is in chaos, and you are currently the only Seraphim, so you're the only child to spread My gospel. I must ensure you won't face any threats.

"......I'm the only Seraphim? What about other angels?"

-The connection between the world and Me has been severed for a long time, so the angels have also lost their power and all declined long ago. Hell is the same.

"My goodness."

So Hangyeol is currently the only angel?

What happened to Heaven's hierarchy?

Hangyeol looked like she had quite a headache. Well, she had good reason.

Somehow I understood why Hangyeol became not just an angel, but a Seraphim.

......Because there were no angels below her!

According to Yahweh's words, the current world is one where transcendent beings from various mythologies all exist.

So besides Yahweh, the one God, other gods can exist, and gods from other mythologies will also send down their agents to the world.

So He hurriedly borrowed the World Tree's power to make Hangyeol into a Seraphim.

Other gods are in similar situations.

"Why did the angels decline?"

I asked Yahweh.

-No matter how much faith overflows, if the connection to the world is severed, that faith is useless. However, now that I am connected to the world again, Heaven can be rebuilt. The massive faith is making My existence solid.

"I see...... Then will Hangyeol go to Heaven?"

To my words, Yahweh said:

-Huh? This child must deliver My gospel to all people here.

"Ah."

-Work hard, My daughter.

"......Father. May I ask one thing before You return?"

-What are you curious about?

"Why did I become female in appearance? And so young......"

-Don't humans these days like such things? Also, since the connection to the world was severed and even Hell's demons were nearly annihilated, I thought there was no need for you to inspire fear in humans to threaten such things. So, instead of your true form, I crafted your earthly body in a form humans would like.

"When You say a form humans would like......"

-Haven't humans developed infinitely and contributed to creating virtual worlds as well? I borrowed the appearance that people are enthusiastic about in such virtual worlds to create your form.

In other words, Yahweh said He crafted Hangyeol's flesh in a form familiar to humans and that humans would be enthusiastic about, from human culture like movies, animation, and all sorts of illustrations.

He's quite well-versed in human culture. Ah, because He's omniscient and omnipotent.

-You are My herald, so shouldn't you approach humans in a form that's worshipped and lovely?

"......!"

Hangyeol let out a silent scream. Yahweh just smiled seeing that.

......He seems to just find it amusing.

Yahweh simply told her to look around the world and spread His gospel.

That is, Hangyeol going to the Vatican became a foregone conclusion.

There's no place like the Vatican as a speaker to spread God's gospel.

And Cardinal Kim Soo-jung Paulo, after regaining consciousness, treated Hangyeol with utmost respect.

Then he contacted the Vatican, but when the Vatican couldn't easily believe it, Hangyeol and I ended up going to the Vatican.

Well, she was a true messenger of God appearing after thousands of years.

Somehow, I began to fear religious wars a bit.

There would be divisions even within Christian denominations, and there were connections to Islam as well......

Well, this wasn't something I needed to worry about.

And aren't Muslims the ones who would die of joy at God's voice?

There, Hangyeol would truly be God's herald.

They would try to follow her words for the most part.

There's no need to recite verses from the Quran or Bible and argue about their doctrines.

A God's herald has appeared to end all those controversies.

If God has decided something, they'll probably tear apart and revise their doctrines accordingly.

Rather, the long religious wars might come to an end.

Hangyeol didn't forget what Yahweh had told her after He returned.

-Another reason I sent you down is to watch over the being beside you.

"Seohyun?"

-That's right. Don't anger the dragon. That dragon is one who could annihilate the world. Make sure the dragon doesn't become angry because of humans. I don't want the human world to end meaninglessly.

It was a fact she vaguely knew. Since becoming a Seraphim, she had felt something watching Seohyun.

"I'll keep it in mind."

-Also, be wary of Hell. Just as I have reached this world, Hell's evil things have also reached this world.

"Yes."

Hangyeol woke up from sleep as if from a dream.

Today was the day she would go to the Vatican.

How on earth did things reach this point? She let out a sigh.

'......Come to think of it, isn't this all Yoon Seohyun's fault? It seems like I became a Seraph as a monitor because she's excessively strong.'

But she couldn't blame Seohyun for that.

Did Seohyun become a dragon because she wanted to?

But now it can't be undone.

Normal daily life has crossed the waters.

Hangyeol sighed. She began to worry about the future in various ways.

Originally she would have worried about how to get employed, whether Korean Literature had prospects...... but now her concerns were a bit different.

'Will I be able to do well......'

Now she had become an apostle spreading God's gospel to more than half the world's Abrahamic religious believers.

However, she also thought:

'Anyway, people who serve God won't defy when God speaks directly, right?'

That was quite a well-founded confidence.

She had lived her entire life as a Catholic believer.

She knew well what God meant to religious people, and what kind of being God's apostle was.

'Maybe I don't need to worry as much as I thought?'

Hangyeol felt a bit more at ease.

Yeah, well, what could go wrong?

Thinking that, she boarded the flight heading to the Vatican.

[Han Taehoon: What are you guys doing these days?]

[Yoon Seohyun: We're going to the Vatican now]

[Han Taehoon: ?? Suddenly why the Vatican?]

[Yoo Hangyeol: I'll tell you when I get back......]

[Han Taehoon: If you go to the Vatican in that state, won't you just get enshrined as a mascot?]

"Taehoon-ssi, what are you looking at?"

As Taehoon was looking at her smartphone, some women approached her.

They were her classmates from the same action school.

"Ah, I was just contacting my friends for a moment. What's the matter?"

"Well, could you show us that martial arts move from earlier again...... We didn't master it perfectly."

"Which one?"

"The historical drama martial arts one."

Taehoon gulped down her coffee and got into position.

By the way, Taehoon was quite popular at the action school.

With an appearance that looked like a middle or high school student, mysterious jade-white skin, and horns on her head.

She couldn't help but be popular with women who liked pretty and cute things.

Not only her appearance, but her actions were also straightforward, and she didn't show off being faster than others, and when classmates asked her to teach them things they didn't know, she taught them everything without holding back.

Occasionally there were people who were jealous of her, but even that jealousy would disappear before long because her performance was so overwhelming that the jealousy felt petty, and she didn't treat people carelessly and always smiled brightly.

Also, since it became known that she was male before mutation, the women actually stepped forward to teach her how to conduct herself.

This was possible because Taehoon's personality itself was such that she got along with others in a round, non-confrontational way.

Anyway, because of such circumstances, she casually talked about her friends to her classmates.

"Ah, one of my friends said she's going to the Vatican."

"Vatican......?"

"Yes. A friend who mutated with me was an Angel-type mutant. So she's going to the Vatican today."

"Wow...... Are there other mutants around you, Taehoon-ssi?"

"Uh...... Yes."

"What kind of mutant?"

"A Dragon-type mutant."

"......Dragon? No way."

"Yes, that's right. The Mutant Management Bureau Chief. She's my friend."

"......I didn't do anything wrong, right?"

"Wrong? Everyone has been kind to me, so it was nice."

"Thank goodness......"

Suddenly, Taehoon's classmates let out sighs of relief.

If they had treated Taehoon badly, and if Taehoon had been the type to hold grudges......

Unimaginable things would have been waiting for them.
