My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!

Chapter 149: Chapter 149: Blasphemy

It was early in the morning when Eren stepped out of his room.

As soon as he did, he was greeted by the sight of Outer Disciples waiting outside. Some had even fallen asleep right there.

"Elder Ren!" a disciple called out upon seeing Eren emerge.

Though Eren appeared a little pale, he looked significantly better than he had the night before.

The disciples who were sleeping also woke up and stood straight.

Eren was quite taken aback to find the disciples here. He wondered if they were worried about the consequences they could face if something happened to him.

"What are you all doing here? Did you forget that we are here on a mission?"

He didn't express his surprise. He still had to maintain the dignity of an Elder, especially since it was the Demon Sect. Moreover, Nathaniel was also on the ship.

"We should be reaching our next destination. Get prepared."

"Yes!" the Disciple exclaimed. None of them appeared upset that Eren didn't appreciate their concerns. It was completely normal for them.

Despite all that, they still felt grateful for Eren. Although he said that he wasn't going to help them, he allowed them to use the ship's attacks to destroy the Asura Sect. No other Elder would have done the same.

Even if he didn't show any concern, they still preferred Eren. That was especially the case for female outer disciples who were already charmed by his looks.

They still hadn't forgotten that they had a chance of becoming Inner Disciples.

Eren accompanied the disciples and went to the deck.

The sight from the deck looked magnificent as the sun had just started rising in the distance.

Nathaniel was already standing on the deck, embracing the pure light from the sun like it was a gift from the goddess.

He slowly opened his eyes as he heard the sound of footsteps. He turned around and caught sight of Eren, who was accompanied by disciples.

"It seems you are feeling a lot better," he asked.

"Mere poison can't keep me down," Eren calmly answered.

"Do you know who might have poisoned the wine?"

Eren and Nathaniel engaged in conversation, and Ye Liang listened carefully. He already believed that Eren might have realized who it was.

"I'm not sure yet. I might have created a few enemies in the sect. And the news about my mission was known by quite a few people. So they might have used poison before I even stepped on this ship..."

"That's why I said, this land is the land of chaos. A land without the blessing of Goddess Freya can't last long," Nathaniel responded. "Unfortunately, you people have abandoned the goddess. It's a sin you can't wash unless you enter her embrace."

"I will stick to my words. The people who truly need salvation are in the North. You should really direct your attention to them," Eren lazily replied.

He didn't hate the gods of this world. If anything, he didn't even believe in gods.

If there were gods that were all powerful, why was the Western Continent not able to defeat the North? Why did the Necromancer Tower still exist?

If anything, the four continents had similar levels of strength, even though the Western Continent had the Goddess' Blessing. Didn't that mean the blessing was insignificant? He didn't know.

"You are very stubborn. But I have a feeling that one day... you will see the light." Archbishop Nathaniel turned back towards the sun. "You might close your eyes, but that will not make the sun disappear. It's only a matter of time before you see the eternal truth."

"Unfortunately, I have seen more light that I would like to accept," Eren replied. "This world is more complicated than you realize."

Was this world real? Was it fake? Who was the author? He had many questions, but that was also because he had seen some truths of this world.

On the other hand, Nathaniel was still stuck in what he considered the eternal truth, not realizing that there was something beyond that as well.

Even if there was a goddess in the Western Continent, how strong was she when compared to the author he had seen?

If anything, he felt like even the Goddess of the Western Continent couldn't free herself from the shackles of the person who brought him here.

The conversation came to a sudden stop. There was only silence as Nathaniel thought about Eren's words.

Meanwhile Ye Liang sighed in relief. It appeared that Eren didn't think he was suspicious.

If that was the case, he would have tried to kill him. It wasn't as if Eren knew about his secret that could save his life, or so he thought.

He was even more glad that the conversation shifted in a different direction and the topic about the poison disappeared.

"You know that your words can be considered blasphemy? You are saying that you know more than the Goddess?"

"Blasphemy?" Eren smiled. "How can I do blasphemy towards something that I don't even believe in?"

Until a few months ago, this entire world was no more than a story created by someone.

For the people of this world, it was everything. But for him, there was something beyond this world. And it wasn't the Goddess.

The ship slowed down as they reached a different sect.

The news about the destruction of the Asura Sect hadn't even started spreading, hence the people here were still unaware about the fate of Asura Sect.

"The remaining Sects are much weaker than the Asura Sect. So I will not allow you to use the Cannon this time," Eren reminded the ten disciples. This time, they weren't going to get any external help.

"Instead, you can use these."

Just as he finished saying that they weren't going to get help, he brought out a few weapons and protective artifacts from his storage ring that he had robbed from the Asura Sect.

The disciples were quite surprised when they saw the quality of these weapons.

It was not even close to the quality that the Core Disciples in the Demon Sect received. But for outer disciples, these were as good as it could get.

Each of them selected an artifact and jumped down.
