I Created Scientific Magic-Chapter 399 - 387: Saintess Lucia, Who Defiles the Gods

"Oh, great Lord, thank You for Your grace, may Your glory spread to every corner of the world..."

"I will follow what You have promised, until the end of my life..."

The devout believers gathered outside the Sky Dome Tower, under the envelopment of divine light, knelt down to pray one by one. They believed that God’s gaze had already converged on this place and that if they prayed devoutly enough, they would surely earn His favor and enter the eternal Divine Kingdom after death.

The ethereal hymn grew louder, and the divine domain centered on the Sky Dome Tower spread outwards, quickly enveloping the entire Holy City.

On the ground on either side of the road, tufts of emerald-green grass sprouted from the soil, and vines crept out from the cracks in the brickwork, entwining around the houses and those intricate sculptures.

Time seemed to accelerate, and under the witness of hundreds of thousands of people, tens of thousands of fruit trees ascended across the Holy City. From tiny buds, they gradually grew into towering trees reaching tens of meters high, their trunks thick and straight, their dense canopies obscuring the sky, and their verdant, crystalline fruits hung heavy on branches, their rich fruity aroma permeating the whole city.

The towering Sky Dome Tower was now entwined with countless vines, resembling a vast emerald palace standing in the center of the Holy City, such a miracle left many first-time festival attendees utterly astounded.

Standing on a high platform, Saintess Lucia ceased her divine prayers, and in her emerald eyes, another even more mystical world appeared before her.

Invisible golden threads emerged within the brains of the kneeling believers below, and the end of the threads connected to the grand Sky Dome Tower behind them...

After the display of the miracle, the number of devout believers increased by about twenty thousand...

Confirming this, Lucia then declared the start of this year’s harvest festival, and all the children of God who had come to the Holy City could enjoy the feast to their heart’s content.

During the festival, this place was like heaven on earth, with no distinction between nobles and paupers; everyone held only one identity, that of God’s believer.

Tens of thousands of attendants set up platters of roasted potatoes, fried steaks, stewed meat soup, and other delicacies on the long tables placed on the streets of the Holy City, serving hundreds of thousands of people, including fine wines and superior camel meat that usually only nobles could afford...

Under the permission of Saintess Lucia and led by attendants, believers who had traveled great distances to the Holy City joined in today’s festival, picking the luscious fruits from the trees or walking around the Holy City, arbitrarily picking up and enjoying the food.

There was no crowding or scrambling; even the hungriest and greediest people would become courteous and disciplined under the influence of the divine light.

Moreover, the food was supplied in unlimited quantities, and the fruits on the trees would regrow in mere seconds after being picked.

Nande was an ordinary pauper from the Nordland Territory, but unlike others, he held the most devout faith in God. Upon learning that the Holy City held a harvest day festival each year, where even the lowliest paupers and even slaves could enter the Holy City to witness God’s glory,

he spent over ten years saving money to buy his freedom and, with sheer determination, trekked thousands of miles, crossing mountains from the empire’s border to reach the Holy City!

Along the way, Nande was attacked by robbers and nearly lost his life to fierce monsters, taking a whole year to finally reach the foot of the Holy City.

Though the journey was arduous, at this moment, it all felt worth it. The Sky Dome Tower was more magnificent than in his dreams, and the kind Saintess Lucia, under her crown, summoned the divine light that healed the festering wounds on his body.

The streets of the Holy City were filled with delicious foods and fruit trees that seemed to have grown from thin air—an image Nande fantasized about only in heaven.

Although such a celebration occurred only once a year, as long as they were devout enough, they would ascend to heaven after death. There, every day would be a day of celebration; all the suffering they endured in life would turn into glory—the reward they deserved after passing God’s trials.

Amid increasingly firm reflections, his faith was elevated. Nande suddenly felt a step closer to God, as if the gates of heaven had already opened to him...

Meanwhile, having returned inside the Sky Dome Tower, Saintess Lucia suddenly turned her head as if to gaze through the thick walls at a certain spot in the Holy City.

"What is it, Your Eminence?" an attendant Cardinal in red asked, puzzled.

"Someone has received divine revelation, but unfortunately, they fell short of becoming a saint," Lucia replied, shaking her head in regret.

"May I know which bishop?" the Cardinal in red asked enviously, believing his devotion to God was no less than anyone else’s. Yet, he hadn’t received divine revelation or been deemed a saint, a true senior of the Church.

"No, it was probably just a poor man", Lucia said casually as she picked up a dragon fruit dedicated to the Moon Goddess from the table and took a bite.

Lucia’s act of disrespect towards the divine, caused the Cardinal’s forehead to vein in frustration. At that moment, he didn’t even bother to inquire which poor man was so fortunate and sternly rebuked her. "Lady Lucia, these precious dragon fruits are offerings to the Lord, not to be taken lightly. I will report your disrespect to the Pope!"

Although the Holy Maiden held a revered position within the Church, she was rotated every few years. In the eyes of the Cardinal, she was merely an attendant chosen to serve the Lord, easily replaced if found unsatisfactory.

Just the disdain shown towards the divine was enough to strip one’s status!

Chewing the sweet dragon fruit, Lucia spoke unclearly, "This is why you have never received divine revelation, Raven."

Cardinal Raven, seeing that Lucia was unrepentant and even trying to profane the divine revelation, was infuriated. But before he could rebuke her further, the doors to the Sky Dome Tower burst open.

Entering were none other than the Pope and the Judgement Chief Joshua…

"Your Holiness, Lord Joshua, just now Lucia took an offering from the case table and showed no remorse whatsoever," Raven rushed forward, reporting to the two.

His status was inferior to that of the Saintess, and besides admonishing her, he was helpless. Only the Pope had the authority to punish her.

"I will handle this matter, you may leave now!" nodded the Pope, then dismissed Raven who still seemed ready to continue.

Lucia watched the infuriated Cardinal leave, expressing slight regret. "He is very devout, just lacking in flexibility, and not very clever either—not quite qualified," she said.
