Chapter 23 The God Cloaked With Divine Light
The continent of Asta, a continent in the middle of Betania, is 147,089,504 sq km. It is home to fifteen countries, one of them is Betania's global superpower; New Trassex Federation. Trassex is currently the leading nation in terms of Science, Technology, and Military. They often lead expeditions to colonize the neighboring continent of Selas.
The second continent that humanity inhabits is Bera, a continent as large as Afro-Eurasia that is located south of Asta. Although its colonized area is just more than a half, it is still home to 29 countries, one of them is Tasania, Betania's country that currently holds the title as the leading country in Entertainment. Its idols and songs could be heard all around the human continents.
In Bera, there's also the country of Setia, the largest and strongest country in the continent. Their mineral supplies are just second to Trassex.
With the goal of uniting the world under human supremacy, the countries of Trassex and Setia formed the Astra Union. The armies of the countries of Asta and Bera unite once every five years to fully colonize Bera and the neighboring continent Selas.
Matthias descended in the continent of Bera, in a country called Siso, a coastal country that has a mixture of a lot of cultures. It is warm and cozy and a very great country with music, entertainment, food, and beverages.
The only problem was..
"The countries in this world are a little more developed than Earth. So there will be a need for Identification. How the heck would I get that?" Matthias thought with irritation.
"Ah!" Matthias' eyes lit up.
In a government building..
"What can I do for you, boy?" The man behind the counter asked in his own language to a 16-year old boy in front of him.
The boy was Matthias, adapting his body into his Earth body.
As Matthias is a god and could understand and speak his creation's language with his Allspeak Ability, he answered the question fluently, "I want to register for my Identification papers."
"Sure. Do you have your birth certificate?" The man asked.
"I don't have one." Matthias answered.
"So, you're registering for a lot of legal identification papers. Do you have your guardian with you?" The man looked at him.
"No. I am an orphan who lived in the forest of Pipa. I journeyed here because apparently, Siso discriminates between races less as it is a country formed by a mix of cultures." Matthias sighed but smiled inwardly.
Before going to register his legal papers, he walked around the country and researched its geography, laws, and races inside it.
He also teleported inside one of their banks and stole about 500,000 Seson or about 100,000 US Dollars. He replaced it with gold and ran away. He always laughed at himself whenever he remembered it.
"Aww. Do you have money to process your papers? That'll take you about 1000 Seson." The man took pity on him but still did his work appropriately.
"Yes." Matthias answered, "When I was near a mine in Pipa, I collected metals that fetched at least 2000 Seson."
"Okay. Come here and fill up these forms." The man nodded and gave him at least 20 pages of paper and a black pen.
Matthias nodded and took the papers and pen. He sat on a table and started writing. In the middle of answering, he suddenly paused, "Mister, what are the religions here?"
"Oh, right, you have been living in a forest all this time." Tha man clapped and hurried towards him. 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com
"We currently recognize five religions, but they really just stem from two. Those two are Ammurab, the religion of the sun that started since 3000 BNE, and the Divine Church that appeared 2500 years ago." The man answered honestly.
"Did you just say Divine Church? Who is their god?" Matthias' hair stood straight and looked incredulously at the man.
"Yeah. Our god is described really vaguely. But the Divine Church is definitely centered under Mathos, the God cloaked with White Light." The man answered and clasped his hands to pray when he said his god's name.
"What did you say?! Mathos? Do you have some annals where the history of the Divine Church could be found?"
"Yes. But the annals of the Divine Church could be found on a smartphone or in the local library. But before going there, finish filling the form up first so that we could process it earlier."
Matthias hurriedly put "Divine Church'' as his religion and filled out the rest. He handed the forms to the man and the man said, "Okay, it's done. Your papers could be available three to seven days from now."
Matthias nodded and hurried to a library. He looked for the religion section and found the book called "History of The Divine Church" and read it.
In the book, it was said that the founder of the religion, Luke Isenhard I or Pope Luke I was just a teenage boy when he was pursued by thugs. He was beaten up badly and was praying to anyone to help him and cleanse the sins of the thugs when suddenly, a white light shone to them from the sky.
What came down was a man cloaked with white robe. On his back were two large dove wings and his hair was golden. When he descended, he kneeled down to extend his hand towards Luke and spoke with gentleness.
"You have summoned me and extended a connection from the Divine Kingdom to this world. Tell me, what do you need?" The angel asked.
"I want peace and humans to unite. So that others could avoid being bullied by others of their race." Luke answered weakly.
"Who are you!?" The thugs asked the angel.
"On behalf of the power bestowed on me, I forgive you of your sins. I am Archangel Tariel, one of the servants of the Lord Creator."
Tariel spoke and preached to the people in front of him.
He said that in the Divine Kingdom, there were five angels with four blazing wings called Seraphims that govern the four directions.
The Seraphims were said to have the names of Almen of the highest faith, Asher the Ruler of Men, Alia the Purest of Queens, Sariel the Protector of Nature, and Anaselia the Wife of Nature.
They were said to govern the Divine Kingdom under the God Mathos, The God cloaked with White Light.free𝚠𝚎𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵ𝐞l.𝑐om
