Chapter 141: Chapter 133 God Loves Everyone, But Loves You Even More
Lette had always been committed to cultivating an alternative administrative team outside of the Holy City, which is now the New Church-Holy Temple-Holy New City system.
The purpose was simple: to ensure Joanna has her own foundation when she ascends to godhood one day.
This way, there would be no fear of Afra causing trouble and making things difficult.
However, the current situation is that the two of them have become a Twin Goddess combination, with Joanna being the primary.
Thus, the originally prepared team of support has little utility now.
Though it’s not very useful, since it’s prepared, it shouldn’t go to waste.
The classical sects in the Holy City can continue to perform their original duties, and the newly developed projects and affairs can be completely managed by the new church faction.
The governance roles under the two goddesses should best run separately as their authorities are distinctly apart.
This is unavoidable, especially now that Joanna is deeply bound with Afra.
But once both breakthrough to the realm of the Rule God, they can naturally separate.
Thinking of this, Lette couldn’t help scratching his head.
Helping the goddess collect the lost Light Divinity now became a personal family affair.
Unexpected things indeed.
"Everyone, let’s work hard! Let’s try to finish before the Holy Presence in the morning."
Lette stood amidst the church grounds of Holy New City, directing everyone to build the temporary Holy Altar.
This time, Lette planned to guide Joanna to the New City through the Holy Presence.
This way, everyone can gain a deeper understanding of her as the new Divine, and at the same time, enhance the position of the New Church.
The original New Church was the largest faction among the outlying sects.
And after this Holy Presence Day, the New Church will become the second governing sect.
"Although it’s just a temporary altar, we must display our sincere faith and heartfelt intent."
Lilith stood nearby, saying faintly, "Keep your personal motives in check. Those who know you are arranging a Holy Altar to welcome the goddess; those who don’t might think you’re preparing for a marriage proposal."
Lette chuckled, "What’s going on with you today? On ordinary days, even when Emily and Flander are beside me, you’re not like this."
Lilith placed her hands on her hips, eyes narrowing slightly, "Them? They’re harmless little kittens. Only Joanna is a worthy opponent.
Let me tell you! Wherever you two go today, I’ll follow!
Don’t think I don’t know what you’re planning!
Humph!"
Lette was quite frustrated, "What could I be thinking? I’m a gentleman, the type who reads the Spring and Autumn Annals!
I just plan to take her out to eat, stroll around, spend a little money, buy her some nice clothes to see her wear.
Then, after we get tired of strolling, I’ll take her home for a good rest.
And perhaps, delve into discussions about life and ideals."
Lilith angrily stomped on Lette’s foot.
"...You’re quite skilled at this! Why haven’t I seen you taking me out for food, strolls, resting at home, and chatting about life and ideals?"
"Honestly! Making a move on you before your unsealing would have been a disgrace!"
Lilith pouted, "Wuwuwu... It’s not fair! Let’s see when I’m back to full strength! Let’s have a fair fight then!
For over three years, I’ve not rushed! I don’t believe she’d dare!"
Lette immediately interjected, "Is it all talk? At least squeeze out some tears!"
Amid their noisy quarrel, the sky began to display unusual phenomena.
A vast amount of Holy light filled the sky, causing anyone bathed in its radiance to be enveloped in a sense of happiness.
All believers prostrated themselves, earnestly praying towards the Holy Altar.
Lette looked up to the sky, "It’s starting!"
Soon after, a beam of Holy Light descended from the sky, racing towards the Holy Presence Square of the Holy City.
However, midway, the Holy Light split into two; one beam continued towards the Holy City, while the other unexpectedly landed in the makeshift Holy Altar in Holy New City.
The Holy Light Goddess Afra once again descended in the Holy Altar of the Holy City; her towering divine form illuminated the earth, bestowing blessings to her believers.
Meanwhile, the Holy Light Goddess Joanna made her first descent in the church square of Holy New City; her divine and magnificent shadow also shone holy and sublime, showering unparalleled grace.
The believers of the Holy Light God Church displayed unprecedented devotion. Although the Church Court had already issued an emergency notice informing believers about the change of the Holy Light Goddess into Twin Goddesses, most believers were still unclear.
After all, there are too many believers of the Holy Light, and the Church Court has no well-developed communication tools.
Relying on word of mouth surely wouldn’t suffice.
Thus, when witnessing the descent of the Twin Goddesses, believers still experienced a fair amount of confusion.
Yet soon, Afra’s voice appeared in their minds.
This former Holy Light Goddess solemnly declared to all believers worldwide.
From this day forth, the Holy Light Goddess will be the Twin Goddesses! The protection and grace to believers will be doubled!
Such a wonderful bargain of more without extra cost naturally received immense praise and joy from the majority of believers.
Of course, there were still some zealous believers who expressed misgivings.
But at such a significant celebration, personally announced and acknowledged by the great Holy Light Goddess herself, even with dissent, as believers, they have to put it aside.
After the initial shock and exhilaration, the Holy Scripture’s proceedings continued.
The ceremony in the Holy City was naturally led by the Pope, while over in Holy New City, Lette surely presided over.
Amid a series of complex rituals and lengthy blessings, the choir would sing praises to the Holy Light Goddess.
As there was inadequate preparation in New City, Lette simply had Flander lead all believers in a grand chorus.
Although the quality might not match the professionalism of the Holy City, this hymn where every believer could join actually had unexpectedly good results.
Finally came the blessing from the goddess.
The two Holy Light Goddesses bestowed supreme grace and solemnly declared to all believers of the Holy Light worldwide!
"God! Loves humanity!"
However, entering Lette’s ear was an additional half-sentence of special favor from Joanna.
"But, loves you more."
As the light faded, the divine forms of the two goddesses gradually withdrew, marking the official end of the triennial Holy Presence Ceremony.
Likewise, it signaled the beginning of the one-day Holy Presence Carnival Celebration.
People would indulge in revelry and celebration. An atmosphere of joy and enthusiasm filled the entire world.
Lette descended from the altar with a beaming face, standing beside Lilith, grinning continuously.
"Hey... Enough. Did you agree on where to meet?"
"Ah! I forgot!"
"Seriously? Are you planning to sneak attack and leave me behind?"
"Do you really have to guard so strictly? You must trust my willpower!"
"You... have willpower?"
"Not at all!"
As the two argued noisily, someone suddenly tapped lightly on Lette’s shoulder.
Turning back, he found Saint Joanna, dressed as a nun, looking at him with a gentle smile.
"I... borrowed your Holy Guard Descent system. How was it, okay?"
Lette stayed silent, but Lilith was particularly stern, "Did you do a slight tune-up on your figure?"
Joanna reached out and took Lilith’s hand, "Lette, wait a moment, I need to speak with Lilith."
Saying this, without waiting for Lette’s consent, Joanna pulled her to a quiet corner in a nearby alley.
The two girls chatted for a long time, finally waving at Lette in unison.
Not knowing what had transpired, Lette hastily ran over.
"What’s up? What did you talk about?"
Reluctantly, Lilith placed Joanna’s hand in Lette’s.
"Alright! You two go have fun, I’ll go find Emily and the others. But, only half a day! Just half a day!"
Having said that, Lilith turned and quickly disappeared into the bustling crowd.
Watching Lilith’s departing figure, Lette instinctively scratched his head.
"You... what did you say to her? She was firm about following the two of us just a moment ago."
"I told her..."
Joanna hugged Lette’s arm, naturally resting her head on his shoulder.
"I said, in my original future, the four children I have with you would be entrusted to her for care.
Only with her and you together taking care, would I feel at ease.
Then, Lilith agreed to let me have a solo date with you."
Lette bent down to give Joanna a peck on the cheek, wrapping his arms around this newly revered Holy Light Goddess.
"Then let’s go! I’ve prepared a bunch of date activities. Let’s complete the itinerary and all!"
"Huh? I thought you hated schedules the most."
"This kind of schedule, I actually really like!"
