The morning sun was shining through the stained glass windows inside the cathedral. The hall has a high ceiling and is wide enough to gather hundreds of people at the same time.
　In the center of the hall is the God of Creation, and on each side there are three statues of gods. The statues were more magnificent than any other church, and they were over five meters tall.
　And there were four people kneeling at the altar in front of the magnificent statue.

'I don't know if we can all go. Please understand that much.

　Hinata, Cardinal Denter and Bishop Harnam nodded at Cain's words.
　They all clasped their hands together in prayer and the world turned white.

'I knew it was coming,'
Yes, I've been wanting to talk to you about something.

　Cain replies to Xenom's words. When he turned around, there was - Hinata alone, in a state of prayer.
　Cain sighed, as if Bishop Harnam and Cardinal Denter were not going to make it after all.

'Hinata, stand up and come over here.'

　Cain's words caused Hinata to open her eyes and she stood up as if in a panic as she realized she was among the gods.

'It's been a while,'

　Hinata and Cain both took their seats.

I've heard their conversation. ─ I heard the conversation between the four of you, but I can't invite all four of you here. Please understand that.

　They nodded at Zenom's words.

''Cain, Zenom-sama doesn't put it into words, but just calling one Cain here will use a good amount of divine power. Cain and Hinata have good chemistry with the gods, so they can manage to call up to two people, but calling four people would consume a good amount of it. Besides, those two still lack rank.

　Lime begins to explain on Zenom's behalf. Hearing that it consumes more than using all of the world's entire population's magic power to call one Cain to the world of the gods, Cain, as expected, was horrified.

''I understand. I'm sorry for forcing you to do this. More importantly, here's the main topic. I have told him what Master Lime told me to do. However, Cardinal Denter's faction is the smallest, and he is unlikely to win by a vote count.
'Cain. Why should I care how many votes are counted? It would only be a matter of overturning all that.
You said you'd turn it over: ......

　No matter what Cain and Hinata actually say, it doesn't change who they vote for. Cain thinks about what he should do to turn everything upside down.

'I'm torn. ....... It's a simple matter. It's Cain (...) and Hinata (...), so it's no good.
............

　Hinata screamed as if she noticed Zenom's words.

'Hinata?'
'Lord Cain, it's me and Lord Cain, so no. What if it's - what if it's the word of a saint and an apostle of God?
......

　Cain noticed Hinata's words as well. Even if they were said as Hinata and Cain, it would only be one person's nonsense. But if they were said as saints and apostles of God, everyone would have to agree.
　The Marineford nation in particular worships the Seven Pillars of God. If it was the word of that apostle, Cain understands that it should take precedence over factions.

'But how can people understand that I'm an apostle of God: ......
I know about that. Now, get me out of here.

　When Xenom urged, Grim, the God of Skill, placed two robes and a treasure trove on the table.

''I'll give you these. This is--'

　Grimm told him how to use it, and Cain put it away in the item box.

''Oh, right. I'll give you this too.

　Xenom held up his right hand, and his palm glowed, revealing a single mask. The mask covers the eyes and nose, with a hole in the eye area.

When you wear this mask, your voice will automatically change as well. As an apostle, you can't reveal your face to the public.
Thank you. I can manage this: ......
So long. It's the birth of a new Pope. ...... ---- It would be better to do this.

　Xenom and the gods are smiling, but Cain can only chuckle.
　When Cain turns next to him, Hinata has a happy expression on her face.

(That's really embarrassing ....... Can you do it? ......)

We'll see about that. Cain, you know what to do.
............ yes. I'll do my best to do as much as I can: ......

　Cain nodded as if he had given up.

'It's about time. It's up to you two.

　Their vision darkened at the same time as Xenom's words.

　The next thing they knew, they were praying at the altar. Cain and Hinata stood up at the same time.
　Noticing this, Cardinal Denter and Bishop Harnam also interrupted their prayers.

'How did you feel about ......?'

　Cain smiled and nodded at Cardinal Denter, who listened fearfully.

'I've met with the gods. It seems there are many restrictions and I wasn't able to invite the two of you.'

　They looked disappointed, but then regained their composure when they saw that Cain and Hinata's expressions were bright.

''It will be fine. The gods are watching over us.''

　They all nodded at Hinata's words.
