Record Of Naruto Verse 48 Chapter-48: Oracle

"So that's what happened."

A woman covered by vail said that while sighing. Though it was covered, everyone knows that she was undoubtedly a beautiful woman.

She was wearing a pure white dress, on her head, there was a gorgeous white headwear. It was Pope of Holy Empire. As a nation of religious, Pope is the highest rank of the government. In a roundabout way, you can say she is the Emperor of this empire.

In front of her, two people were kneeling down. One was a man and another one was a woman. If you connect the dot you will get who they were, it was Bishop Nicolo and Priestess Rina.

"Yes, your eminence. That guy was strong and dangerous. I don't know how strong the Western Dragon Emperor is but he was the strongest person I have ever seen."

Nicolo said while Rina was nodding.

"Sigh! That is something unbelievable things happen, but you guys were the only one who witnessed that, so I will put my trust in your eyes. Well, whatever, every event happened in this world, all of that events were will of the G.o.ds, as well as every event will happen in the future, all of them already foresighted by G.o.ds. Only we can do is deeply believe in them. G.o.d will punish the sinner and reward the winner. Northern Dragon's annihilation was the will of G.o.ds whether in a good way or bad way, for now, we can do is take measure against the upcoming future."

Pope Tori Kuhaki told them with an angelic voice.

"Yes." x2

Both them respond while touching their locket which was hanging on their neck.

"Now, you guys take rest for a week. Before going back to the Naga Kingdom do an audience with me."

"Understood." x2

Saying that both of them bowed and left the scene.

A Middle-aged man came from out of nowhere.

"Your Eminence, do you really believe them?"

He asked the woman. But Pope Tori asked him back.

"Father, you were former Pope before me, tell me if you would believe in them as a ruler."

In this world, humans average lifespan is 300 years. But among the human, some of them managed to live more than one thousand years. Those who are alive among them it was this Middle-aged man whose age is the record in human society. His current age is 1756.

"As a ruler, I would have half believed them and half doubt them. But as an experience old fogie, I think only 70% of their word was the truth. But the lie they are overlooking... or, hiding is the most crucial news that we shouldn't ignore."

"Is that so? So that was it."

It was visible that she also has come to the same calculation.

After a slight pause, she asked him,

"Do you really think, a human can annihilate an entire Dragon King Palace?"

The Middle-aged man shook his head.

"No, even if they are weakest among all four Dragon Palace, It's impossible to kill them for a mere human."

"Is that so? Yes, he is not a human."

Hearing her answer the Middle-aged man frown.

"Tell me a thing, why weren't surprised upon hearing the news of that individual? No, you weren't surprised or anything even when you heard about Northern Dragon's annihilation. It looks like to me you knew beforehand. Are you hiding something, Your Eminence?"

Looking at his inquiry eyes, Pope's tranquil eyes didn't waver in the slightest bit but she smiled slightly which was hidden by her vail.

"There is nothing I can't hide from you as expected."

The relation between former Pope and the current Pope wasn't hidden fact. In fact, all over the world it was well known that She was the only daughter of the former pope who had married in his 1730 years old and had a daughter five years later. So, as a father and as a wise man he can tell what his daughter feeling and hiding in front of him.

She stood up and said,

"I think we shouldn't talk here about that."

Saying that she disappeared from that chamber. She used 12th tier magic [s.p.a.ce Shift] which is from the teleportation magic category.

Seeing that the Middle-aged man shrugged. His daughter is really genius in term of magic power, she could be recognized as human's peak magic user. She used 12th tier magic without chant or whatsoever, she did it with dead silence. Her age is in her early 20s whose magic power is comparable to him who is 1700+ years old. Though he never showed in his expression, he is so proud of her. As a father, he can't ask anymore.

Like her, he use 12th tier magic [s.p.a.ce Shift] silently and vanished from there.

Tori was in front of a sculpture. It was a pure white color sculpture. Except for that sculpture, there are another six sculptures there.

Those sculptures are the symbols of the seven elemental G.o.ds, Fire, Water, Earth, Thunder, Wind, Light and Dark.

It easy to guess this church follows those elemental G.o.ds.

The sculpture she was standing in front of is G.o.d of Light.

"So what is the real deal."

The Middle-aged man asked her daughter.

She didn't answer him but was touching the sculpture of the G.o.d of Light to see if there is any dirt on it.

But that was baseless work because this sculptures cleaned three times every day. By the way, this room is a secret room where few chosen can enter, so the person who cleaned this room, of course, was chosen one.

After remaining silent for a long time she decided to open her mouth,

"One year ago I had received an Oracle from the G.o.d of Light."

"Th-that's? Are you sure?"

Hearing her sudden sentence Middle-aged man was taken aback like he was electrically shocked. He has reason to expressed like that because in his whole life he received Oracle only four times from four G.o.ds. Among them, G.o.d of Light never sent him any Oracle not only him no one in the history of Holy Empire received Oracle from him. And she receive one from a G.o.d just in her 5 years of ruling time.

Disregarding her father's stupefied face, she told him,

"The content of Oracle was [Oh child of man, a catastrophe of all time shall be fallen upon you. But don't fret, I have sent him, he will rise, he will destroy, he will create, he will be forsaken, he will forsake, he will save... He is my apostle and your hero. Everything will start with North. Do not fear, they are dead but really not dead. You are chosen to be his bride. No matter what happens, support him, and walk side by side with him.]"

Hearing that, there was a long silence between them. Because both of them knows the weight of those words. The middle-aged man broke that awful silent.

"So, all started with North huh. Northern Dragons..."

But he didn't say the other sentence he understood. Northern Dragons are dead but really not dead. He don't how that worked but he believes that Northern Dragons didn't die. Something behind the scene must be happening, as for what was happening... he won't dare to ask.

'So, that's why she was expressionless when she heard the news of Northern Dragons annihilation.', He thought inwardly.

By the way, if you don't know let me tell you, G.o.d of Light is none other than G.o.d of Creation.
