Chapter : 02
The Baby Saint Wants to Destroy the World!
Something was definitely, terribly wrong.
“Oh my, you really are full of strength.”
Even after being hit by a powerful kick, Bahaman did not even frown, as expected from someone blessed with the endurance granted by God.
She wanted to scream at him to get lost, but for some reason, only a baby’s cries came out of her mouth.
‘What on earth is happening……?’
While flailing her unusually short arms and legs, she went over her final memories before death.
Why exactly had she ended up here?
It was as if she had awakened from a long sleep, only to come to her senses and find herself in this state.
First, she needed to understand the situation around her.
The moment Lucy tried to cast a detection spell, she realized something strange.
‘There’s no magic power at all!’
Even if the physical body dies, the power engraved into one’s soul does not disappear.
No matter how many times one is reborn, that much should have remained.
Yet when she tried to use magic, something overflowing inside her body blocked it completely, as if a faucet had been tightly shut. The only thing that grew stronger was the suffocating frustration.
“Even just by looking at the overflowing divine power, I can tell. How could such a miracle…….”
Every time she tried to use her strength, the radiance bursting from her body became even stronger, and Bahaman shed thick tears of emotion.
‘Divine power?’
Could it be that this enormous force suppressing her magic power was all divine power?
Unlike magic power, which could be trained through effort, divine power could only be used by those chosen and blessed by God.
Moreover, Lucy had never believed in any god even once.
For someone like her to possess divine power…
It was impossible.
“Waaaaaaah!”
“Could it be that this person is truly……!”
Hearing the baby’s cries, another high-ranking priest rushed over and lifted Lucy’s struggling body into her arms.
Unlike the clumsy Archbishop Bahaman, the plump middle-aged woman held Lucy firmly so she could not move at all, while wearing a kind smile.
“Cardinal Maria, please take Saint-nim inside quickly……”
“It is a miracle. This is truly a miracle.”
The skilled hands holding her were much more comfortable than the old man’s rough touch.
Looking around, there were old people here and old people there.
It was like a nursing home.
‘Why did they all become so incredibly old?’
That person really seemed to be the Bahaman she knew.
Other than the fact that she had been preparing for her final battle with the temple, she could not remember much.
However, she could easily guess where she was.
Looking at the buildings covered with emblems and flags that looked like something only holy knights would carry, a scenery she had only seen in paintings before, Lucy realized where she was.
The Holy City Esperia.
The place she had tried so desperately to conquer but could never obtain.
‘Damn it…….’
She had never wanted to set foot here like this, but it seemed that she had somehow ended up inside the body of the divine messenger sent by the Goddess.
“Waaaah!(Damn it!)”
Despite the complicated thoughts inside her head, a loud cry burst from her mouth.
When she expressed her anger at becoming such a ridiculous existence, the old people around her smiled brightly.
“She must be hungry.”
“Quickly, bring something for the baby.”
Who said she wanted food?
She struggled desperately, but she could not overcome the strength of the grandmother called Maria.
The old people carried the baby and walked along a hallway filled with a pleasant fragrance before stopping in front of a room.
“This is the room of the previous Pope. From now on, this will be the place where Saint-nim stays.”
A sacred place where a dazzling light shone even in the deepest night.
Before the statue of the Goddess Esperia, the mother of all things, there was a baby basket placed on a platform covered with pure white cloth.
“Just as the late Pope predicted, the baby truly has arrived.”
“Uuuaang?(He died?)”
“Saint-nim stopped crying!”
She had only frozen stiff from shock, but Cardinal Maria was already shaking a bottle of warm milk she had prepared and placing it into the baby’s mouth.
“Here, this is delicious milk.”
“Eubub, fua!(I don’t want this kind of thing!)”
She tried to spit it out, saying she did not want to drink it, but for some reason, as the sweet liquid entered her mouth, she unconsciously grabbed the bottle and began drinking desperately.
Recovering her memories while being this young was already an extremely rare experience among her 100 reincarnations.
But being trapped inside a baby’s body while possessing a completely clear mind was practically torture.
“You drink so well. Now, you need to burp too.”
“We’ll prepare a diaper for you right away.”
The nuns began removing the clean white cloth wrapped around the baby’s body.
“Uwaa, waaah!(No, let go of me!)”
“Now, we’ll put on a soft and fresh diaper for you.”
“Waaaaaaah!(This is a violation of human rights!)”
She would learn later that Cardinal Maria had cared for countless children at an orphanage belonging to the temple since she was young.
More than ten thousand children had passed through Magnolia Orphanage alone, so handling one newborn baby like this was probably nothing to her.
‘D-Damn it……!’
Lucy struggled with all her might, but she could not resist an adult’s strength.
A single tear rolled down her cheek.
“Now, you’re all nice and fresh.”
Cardinal Maria securely fastened the diaper and changed her into an adorable baby outfit embroidered carefully stitch by stitch.
“Oh my, how cute.”
“We all made this together while waiting for this day to come.”
The pure-hearted, white-haired grandmother and the nuns standing neatly behind her.
Lucy could not understand why they were so happy.
They looked down at her lying in the cradle and did not know what to do with themselves from joy.
“You are a precious gift sent by the Goddess. We will take care of you with all our hearts until you grow into a wonderful adult.”
‘I don’t need something like that!’
Once she regained her magic power, she would erase everything.
She clenched her tiny fists and vowed revenge, but her stomach was full and her back was warm. An irresistible sleepiness began to overcome her.
‘This isn’t the time for me to be like this…….’
“Sleep, sleep. Our baby Saint-nim is so beautiful.”
The pleasant scent, the soft baby clothes, and the sweet milk.
The lullaby sung by the grandmother seemed to contain an unbelievable power that she could not resist.
‘Once I regain my power…….’
I’ll kill them all.
She would never forgive those who had given her such humiliation.
She gritted her teeth with hatred, but…
“Oh my, it seems she has fallen asleep.”
Because exhaustion had washed over her, Baby Saint-nim fell asleep sprawled out with her mouth slightly open.
