Chapter 281 Distere: Can I Have A Million Supreme Cola?
"If you haven't noticed, you should be able to recognize the badges I have on my robe, right?"
Allen questioned Distere as he pointed towards the two badges on his white magic robe.
Distere's eyes followed what Allen had pointed at and he was left in awe.
'That's the 8th Circle Mage badge! And the other one is the Supreme Mage badge!'
'Those two badges could only mean that the Mage's Association recognized Allen as the strongest mage in existence! And there is also the possibility that Allen wasn't using his full power when he took the magic test.'
Distere thought in his mind as he started to revere Allen as a human who was capable of slaying a Heretic God!
Although the Supreme Mage badge wasn't known to the majority, those at the Mage's Association knew about it including the nobility who has access to that information. That was to say that only the commoners didn't know about the existence of the Supreme Mage badge.
And since Distere was the first son of the duke, Distere had access to that information so he easily recognized the Supreme Mage badge that adorned Allen's magic robe.
"With your power, it won't be difficult for me to preach Zenchianism to the inhabitants of this world!"
Distere spoke out the thoughts inside his mind.
He was confident that with Allen's assistance, he wouldn't have to worry about the Heretic Gods interfering with his work of preaching Zenchianism.
Not to mention, with Allen's status as the Supreme Mage, Allen could use himself to promote Zenchianism. That way, the inhabitants of this world would be less doubtful that Zenchianism was a heresy religion.
After all, if even the strongest mage of humanity promoted Zenchianism, wouldn't that assure the people of Zenchianism's credibility as a religion?
Distere lacked an influential person to promote Zenchianism but if Allen, who was recognized as the Supreme Mage would promote Zenchianism, it would be a lot easier for the people to accept Zenchianism as a genuine religion.
It was like how the rulers of a kingdom promoted the religion they believed in. Such as the king of the Gaia Kingdom accepting the religion of Gaia and the duke of the Gaia Kingdom promoting the religion of Gaia.
Distere was aware that if Allen who was the Supreme Mage promoted Zenchianism, it will be a lot more effective than a nobody like him promoting it instead.
Distere's shortcoming in promoting Zenchianism was that he wasn't influential despite being the heir of a duke family. After all, he would be labeled as a heretic if he went against the religion that his family believed in. And that was what happened to him.
If Distere was an 8th Circle Mage like Allen, he wouldn't have been executed and instead, would be exiled. After all, who dared to execute an 8th Circle Mage when the strongest mage in the Gaia Kingdom was only at the 7th Circle?
"I indeed don't lack power. So I and John will deal with the Heretic Gods."
Allen admitted it since it was true. There was no need to act humble and deny it.
Allen also assigned John to help him deal with the Heretic Gods and seeing that John didn't disagree, Allen took it as John agreeing with him.
With John's agreement, Allen shifted his attention back to Distere as well as Deus.
"Since the two of you can't deal with the Heretic Gods, your job will be promoting Zenchianism."
Allen assigned Distere and Deus to promote Zenchianism and the two of them nodded their heads in agreement.
The two of them were well aware that they weren't powerful enough to deal with the Heretic Gods so they were given a job that didn't require them a high power level.
Deus and Distere didn't want to have no contribution to the chat group. After all, they didn't want to be treated as a burden in the chat group.
And besides, it was Distere's specialty in preaching about Zenchianism because of his Supreme Apostle System. On the other hand, Deus would deal with the procurement of money since his system was the Tap Idle Tycoon System.
Deus could just convert the system points in his Tap Idle Tycoon System for the money in this world and doing so wouldn't cause inflation since his system could affect reality to make the converted money part of the economy. ƒ𝑟𝐞ewe𝚋𝑛o𝙫𝚎l. 𝒄o𝗺
With the power of money, Deus could just hire some mercenaries to help them promote Zenchianism.
Unlike adventurers, mercenaries would do anything for money and they would do it while ignoring the existence of a moral compass. There were even some cases where the other kingdoms would hire mercenaries to promote the religion of their kingdom.
So it wasn't an unusual job for the mercenaries to be paid for promoting and preaching religion. Of course, as long as enough money was paid since mercenaries wouldn't do a job if the risk of the job outweighed the payment.
And since Deus lacked anything but money, he could easily use the power of money to assist Distere in promoting Zenchianism in this world.
That was why Allen assigned both Deus and Distere to work together in promoting Zenchianism. Not only were the two of them system users, but their systems could also assist them in hastening the process of completing the second sub-task.
Although Allen was more than capable of completing the second sub-task on his own due to being a jack of all trades, master of all, he assigned the completion of the second sub-task to Deus and Distere so that they could have their contribution towards the chat group.
Allen knew that Deus and Distere were willing to have their contribution and that was why he assigned them the completion of the second sub-task aside from the fact that they were suited to complete it.
John didn't have the required skills to preach a religion, unlike Distere and Allen. But since John had the power to slay a Heretic God, Allen assigned John to help him complete the third sub-task.
After Allen assigned their role for completing the Main Task, Allen's attention focused on Distere after noticing that he wanted to ask a question to him.
"Allen, can I have at least a million Supreme Cola?"
