My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness - Chapter 287

〈 White Knight (2) 〉

In front of the entrance of an apartment.

“Thank you for your cooperation, sister.”

“Oh no, priest. “It’s not that difficult.”

“Then I’ll just go. May God bless you sister.”

“Yes yes. thank you.”

The middle-aged woman in front of him bowed her head in embarrassment as the priest smiled kindly and bowed.

As soon as the goodbyes were over, the female priest in her early 30s went straight to the parking lot and got into the back seat of the parked car.

Brum—

Immediately after that, as the car started to move smoothly, she picked up the tablet that was lying next to her and looked through the data organized inside again.

〈White Knight Investigation Progress Report〉

-……

-Summary of White Knight’s estimated specifications. (See details)

– As a result of inquiring about divine power through returnees from each dimension, the main god of the Outerica dimension is the most likely. (View the full interview in detail)

– Conducted a visit and investigation of people who were assumed to have some kind of relationship with a specific patient. (Current progress 28%)

-……

“Hmm.”

Head tilted slightly to the side with an involuntary sound of worry.

She, the representative of the investigation team dispatched by the Korean branch of Pantheon to track down the White Knight, soon wrote something on the tablet, put it down again, and gently closed her eyes.

‘…As expected, it’s amazing.’

And she exclaimed in admiration for the number of times, recalling the reverberation of the divine power still remaining in the body of the now discharged patient, which she reaffirmed during this visit.

‘How deep is faith to make something like that possible?’

Even on the day of the hospital attack, she had already sensed the presence from quite a distance and was astonished.

However, no matter how much time has passed, looking at the remnants directly like this gave rise to a new appreciation.

The more I researched, the more respect and awe I had for that person.

‘Not simply on a large scale, but pure divine power refined only through sincere faith. What kind of saint was she that was able to draw that much energy from Earth?…’

She was also a high-ranking priest who had risen to a fairly high rank in this world, but no matter how generous she was, she could not be compared to the White Knight.

If one had to pick a similar level in the world she came from, wouldn’t it be at the level of an apostle who was chosen directly by God?

‘I really want to meet what kind of person he is.’

In fact, that was the biggest reason why she actively served as the representative of the investigation team.

I couldn’t suppress my curiosity as to what kind of personality he was capable of achieving such feats.

Of course, there were practical reasons other than interest alone.

‘A saint of that level might really be able to become the new center of the pantheon…’

As important as the healing ability was, the treatment of priests on Earth was not simply good.

Since there are restrictions on the use of divine power, it would be correct to view it as more valuable than in other worlds.

However, the problem was internal, not external reputation.

“Whoa.”

She sighed softly and rubbed her face a few times.

I was proud of my smooth and firm skin, perhaps thanks to my divine power, but I was really worried about the skin troubles that had developed due to recent stress.

‘…the animosity between factions is too severe.’

In a way, it was natural.

Unlike general denominations where the same believers gathered, the gods and doctrines followed by the priests of the Pantheon were all different.

Even if those with negative beliefs, such as worshiping evil gods, were excluded, it was not unreasonable for friction and dissatisfaction to continue to arise and rifts to occur as the basic values were different.

‘In such a situation, if someone who can receive everyone’s recognition takes the center stage…’

We may be able to overcome the current situation.

If that happens, the energy used in useless factional fights could be channeled in a more good direction.

Also, it will naturally lead to the public interest of society.

‘We can’t lose such a great man to another country.’

Due to the nature of the Pantheon as a federation group, the general headquarters in the United States was closer to the concept of representation rather than a higher-level organization.

Since the request has already been received, they will cooperate, but there is no need to blindly follow it.

After gathering her courage again, she picked up the tablet she had put down next to her and glanced over the results reports of the investigation team members.

How much time has passed?

Tiring!

Suddenly, an urgent message appeared on her tablet messenger.

And not long after, her eyes opened wide as she read the content without thinking about it.

Squeak—!

The car she was riding in, which was driving at a constant speed, suddenly drifted and changed direction.

Fortunately, there were no other vehicles nearby.

Thanks to this, the car accelerated rapidly without paying attention to the surroundings.

Buouwoong – Bua -ah!

The vehicle’s destination was the place where the new emergency report arrived.

It was a university hospital in Seoul where a white knight appeared.

***

Warm light enveloped the surroundings.

Wow—

the area wasn’t just a few meters around.

It spread further and higher, beyond the people filling the lobby, and eventually burned softly and beautifully, encompassing the entire children’s hospital.

It is the reality of a miracle and the embodiment of hope.

It was an embodiment of mercy that comforted the wounds of the patients present.

‘I have to make sure I’m going to do it.’

Despite its warm appearance, its ultra-pure divine power, which contains tremendous energy, caused an immediate phenomenon.

Recovery, healing and regeneration.

Those who were there could immediately feel the change.

“iced coffee-.”

“…Oh God. Thank you thank you!”

“Wow! Mom, this is amazing! It’s so warm. Hee hee!”

The reactions of people who directly experienced the phenomenon that they had only heard about were varied.

Children who cannot continue speaking and only shed tears, people who keep praying with their hands folded, children who laugh innocently without knowing anything, etc.

However, even among the various reactions, there was one common behavior they showed.

It was like staring endlessly at the person who performed this miracle.

This person, standing in the center of the lobby, is engulfed in a brilliant light like a lamp illuminating the darkness.

A noble saint wearing smooth, elegant pure white armor and placing both hands on the handle of a beautiful long sword standing on the floor.

Heinrich the White Knight.

“Ah….”

“…….”

The people surrounding him just stared at him blankly at the sight of his divine appearance.

Unlike when he first appeared and cried out for mercy, now I couldn’t get close to him or talk to him.

I can only admire it from a few steps away, as if appreciating a work of art.

‘As expected, the effect is clear. Then now…’

But at that time, everyone was frozen as if time had stopped.

Ta-bak- Ta-bak-

There was someone who made the first move.

“Soo… is it Su?”

Are you six or seven years old now?

A girl, as short as her height, walked towards him with difficulty, wearing a hospital gown that did not suit her size.

I left behind the wheelchair that my father was pulling just a moment ago.

‘oh? ‘Are adults also the first to move in this situation?’

An older man followed behind him, belatedly, looking at the child with an expression of restlessness and emotion.

However, he could not ignore the child’s wishes and was stamping his feet anxiously.

The girl who arrived in front of Heinrich looked up at him carefully.

Then, his eyes sparkled brightly and he opened his mouth slightly.

“…Angel?”

Although the child raised his eyebrows as if asking a question, there was a certain confidence in the child’s eyes, perhaps because it overlapped with the image he had imagined while only hearing stories.

“Is it because Su-ah is so kind that you came to pick her up?”

However, what he said next couldn’t have been predicted.

Not only Heinrich but also the guardian behind the child froze.

“…Can I not go yet? “I haven’t even finished saying hello yet…”

The child wiggles his fingers and glances up at him.

What on earth is going on in that little head?

However, even though he had already been exposed to divine power once, he was able to roughly understand the state of the child’s body.

‘Hmm.’

He calmly looked down at the child while organizing his thoughts, then slowly bent his legs and squatted down in his seat.

As I was at eye level with the child, I saw my helmet reflected in those small eyes.

‘Yes, it would be more certain to do it this way.’

He slowly raised both hands and grabbed the helmet.

I lifted it straight up.

Sararak—

Silver hair fluttering in the air, liberated from a stuffy space.

It sparkled dazzlingly, scattering the lights illuminating the hospital lobby and the surrounding radiance.

“Huh!”

“…!”

And at the same time, those who were watching it quietly and holding their breath involuntarily took a breath.

Heinrich lightly brushed his silver hair, gently rolled his golden eyes, and looked back at the child.

The exotic handsome man’s appearance, combined with the lighting and directing, became entrenched in people’s minds like a fantasy.

He reached a hand toward the child’s head, whose eyes were wide and his mouth agape like those around him, but then stopped.

Then, he returned his arm, took off the metal gauntlet on his right hand, and slowly stroked the child’s head with his bare hand.

“Uhehe….”

The child let out a shy smile as if he was embarrassed by that careful touch.

Heinrich smiled softly as he blessed the child with additional measures using the divine power in his hands.

“Then I’ll wait. Until Suah is all grown up. “Anytime is okay.”

“…really? “Then is it really okay later?”

“So, instead, I have to continue receiving treatment in the future? Then it will be enough until you are 100 years old.”

“uh… “A hundred years old?”

As I looked at the person’s eyes darting here and there at the jokey remark, it seemed like he still couldn’t guess the number accurately.

He chuckled and removed the hand that was stroking his head.

And when he winked at the older man with tears in his eyes behind him and slowly stood up, the guardian quickly picked up the child and lowered his head repeatedly.

Meanwhile, the child just smiled innocently and waved his hands.

For some reason, this was a child who caught my eye.

‘It was an unexpected event, though.’

Heinrich, who had his helmet on his side, put his gauntlets back on and slowly looked around.

Thanks to this, it seemed like the promotion was more effective than expected.

‘It may not be as large-scale as the terrorist attack, but the level of treatment will not be that low.’

In order to confuse the investigation, he naturally attracted attention and even revealed his face, so there was only one thing left for him to do.

He opened his mouth softly, his voice filled with divine power.

“Giving warm attention to those who are suffering and providing a helping hand to those in trouble…”

In this world, the Lord did not have a separate name.

The main god, who was like the Creator, was just a single being.

However, if you look at it from an outside perspective, it was not like there were no words to refer to him at all.

“…May Auterica’s blessings be with everyone.”

The name of that dimension is the word itself that can refer to the main god.

Heinrich, who left a deep impression on people’s hearts with his voice filled with divine power, smiled softly.

‘Did you come?’

Then, feeling the presence of people coming from all directions, I gathered my energy and pulled out the holy sword that was stuck on the floor.

Right now, he had no intention of facing those who were looking for him.

‘It’s not time yet.’

Once the goal was achieved, it was necessary to work harder for more dramatic moments.

We naturally do some publicity using this interest.

‘It’s not a good idea to spread sermons recklessly and spread the word.’

If the interest is focused on Heinrich right now, people will look for it even if you just secretly spill the beans.

Then, what he has to do until then…

Paaat—

He used “Blessing: Leap” right before the pursuers came and disappeared from the hospital lobby.

The place where he later appeared was another hospital far away from there.

Several surprise visits followed, as if to tease him.

And that evening.

After the steady accumulation of news since my first visit.

Finally, domestic Internet public opinion exploded.
