[Tju]

well that escalated quickly.
wolf girl to the rescue, quick!

 

[ale_city]

Well ok yeah this got quite freaking serious all of a sudden. Not complaining.

I wonder who ran this cult back on Isonatra and propped her up as a figurehead, back in the day. Looks like they had a whole theocracy going over there, which takes a level of organisation that I don't think would have been achieved by just fanatics like this person, and Lin really does not seem to be the type to come up with anything of this sort either, so I assume there to be someone pulling the strings from the shadows.

If a person like that exists, they presumably would have been the one who kept Lin performing her role as the "Saintess" by guilt-tripping her about how much worse things could be if she did not keep up her end of the facade (and by extension, also the one to condemn Rachel when it became clear that her existence made Lin waver in her convictions).

So if I am at all correct about any of this, I would not be surprised if that were the final antagonist of this comic.

 

[skywardgem]

that's your cue, Rachel. Time to look cool for a bit before hopefully having a proper one-on-one talk with Lin

thanks for the chapter!

It's always the church, I'm telling you!!1!1

Remember the part of religious text when messiah character's biggest fan wanted to have one of their eyeballs as a keepsake? Me neither 0_0

That doesn't make sense at first glance but the purpose of the suggested salvation of this new land is just an excuse to rule over it.

Imagine if jesus is real, today. Do you think the current power structures (govenrments, oligarchs, monarchs, etc.) would let him live should he refuse to work for them? No, they wouldn't. This is the same, although with slightly different variables. They need the saintess power to conquer the world so they won't kill her at this point in the story. They'll kill her when they no longer need her, but torture is a-okay aparrently... wtf man

A large number of religious relics consists of the body parts of saints or other important figures. The only strange part about it is wanting to collect them before death.

The number one rule in anime or manga (manhua in this case) is that the church is always evil.

It would depend on whether the cult is part of the aggressive, expansionist empire that Lin "sacrificed" herself to (and then inadvertently became the mana-battery for Rachel), or if it originated in her own kingdom that she first became the saintess in, where she helped people with her power to heal.

If it's the former....then yeah, definitely terrifying, but also I don't recall there being much in the way of Lin being "the saintess" while captive, as she was effectively tied to Rachel the whole time, up until the Empire's collapse and Rachel was put to death in the ensuing fallout.
If it's the latter...I'm wondering if maybe they started out "legitimate", but when Lin sacrificed herself and fell into that Empire's hands, they went apeshit without their saintess, and fell into fanaticism and took to extreme measures.

In any case--quite wild that so many people seem to have crossed over. Which makes me think that if there is some shadowy leader behind this cult group (and I very much agree that they must exist, and are likely some endgame antagonist), then they must be very powerful, and have laid lots of groundwork and plans to follow Lin into this life/world en masse with many others to try and continue whatever dominion plan they were hatching before. And saying that...I kinda suspect that this group is from Lin's original country, rather than the Empire--they would have enjoyed the luxuries that came with following a saintess who went around being benevolent, and then lost that privilege when she was taken away. They probably are even behind Rachel's initial death, if I'm correct thus far.
Which would all be kind of neat as a twist, in that it wouldn't even be "Lin's Original Enemy" coming after her, but some twisted & corrupt iteration of her own people.

All I can say is that I expect Rachel will show up before Lin gets (too) injured, but I don't expect the main villain in this scene to not get away. She's too important-sounding in this moment, though I bet we might see one or two corpses by the time this incident concludes.

But it'll definitely be important for Lin & Rachel to get on the same page, because I suspect they'll need to be ...."teaming up" again like before, so that both are powerful enough to protect their new life and Xiao-Mo.

I mean imo it's still pretty weird nonetheless

If Jesus was real today he would be bashed for being woke and would be turned into a tool for the moronic culture war
