Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

“I will take my leave here.” Sera stood up and politely bowed to these two men. She had led Nathan into the heart of the Holy Kingdom for this private meeting between the two.

In the past, the Pope and Nathan had once talked to each other, but this time, it was a formal meeting.

The Pope waved his hand. “You don’t have to leave. We’re going to talk about you as well, so it’s better for you to stay.”

“…” Sera paused for a moment before taking her seat.

“It’s not much, but please accept this.” Nathan put down a box and slid it toward the Pope.

“Hmm?” The Pope looked curious and gently opened the box. Inside was a bracelet. But unlike the one on their hand, this bracelet was white with golden ornaments to make it look beautiful. While the function was no different from other space bracelets, the beauty was more than enough for high-ranking people to use.

“This is a space bracelet. By using your ena to cover items, you can store them inside and take them out as you like. No one can steal them from you, even if the other party is a space element user. The size is not much… around a third of this room.”

“…” The Pope closed his eyes for a moment. This was a priceless artifact. In fact, this was the first time he ever heard of this type of artifact.

Even if there was only one, it could make a huge difference for a kingdom. However, the Pope knew this wasn’t the only one, especially after seeing their bracelets.

Still, it didn’t matter. Unlike the ones in their hand, this one was a bracelet they solely possessed. No one could say anything about how they were using it.

The Pope asked, “Do you know the story about our hero?”

“Not really.” Nathan shook his head.

“Do you know why I’m not as corrupt as others?”

“…” Nathan felt slightly suspicious about this topic. “What are you trying to say, Your Holiness?”

The Pope smiled. “There is a story that only the pope is allowed to know. This has been kept a secret for hundreds of years.

“All the previous leaders won’t care much about it… No, I didn’t care about it before, but after seeing you, I have changed my mind.

“Hero Mikhail was a mysterious man. He led humanity to resist the alien, but there was one of his sentences recorded in every book.

“This world is just a game.”

“Huh?” Nathan’s expression turned solemn. “A game?”

“Yeah.” The Pope stood up and walked slowly toward the window. While staring at the dark sky, he continued, “A game is fun to play, but eventually, it will end.

“How will it end? You can always see it from history. Hero Mikhail might have led the resistance, but he had never become the strongest. Why?

“The answer is rather simple. Once you become the strongest, you will become the target.

“Take a look at the current world’s strongest summoner, Elysion. He is so strong that he can destroy one kingdom if he wants to, but the moment he does it, other kingdoms will join hands and take him down.

“Can they do it? No. They can’t. It’s not because they don’t have the strength to take him down, but because they have another threat.

“Once they take down Elysion Aquamoon, they will be so injured that they won’t be able to stop the aliens.

“However, what if they manage to take down aliens? Will they wield that power to take down Elysion Aquamoon? Most likely.

“We know good because evil exists. If evil ceases to exist, people will either die or find another evil.

“If Hero Mikhail became the strongest, he would be branded as the new evil. Everyone would feel threatened when the enemy was gone. Whether he wanted to do it or not, it didn’t matter. What mattered was the fact he had the power to do so if he wanted it.

“After seeing Sera’s progress, it reminded me of this story. The path you’re taking is harsh. You will probably bring a lot of change to this world. Even now, you have done exactly that.

“Whether it’s your magic weapons or even the cloud-repelling device, you’ve done so much for the world.

“Yet what will happen once this disaster passes? You might be regarded as a saint who has helped a lot of people and prevented them from dying, but when the world brightens, what will people think of you?”

Nathan’s expression became darker and darker. “What are you trying to say?”

The Pope smiled. “You should have realized what I am trying to say. After all, isn’t this world just a game? The only problem is, who is playing the game?”

“There is a war between two kingdoms. Who is playing the game? Both kings? The soldiers are their pieces?

“What about this world? What about the aliens? Is the war against the aliens also just a game? Or are we just pieces in that game?

“Why did Hero Mikhail become the first summoner? How did he become a summoner? How did you become a summoner? Why are you the only person who can summon a beast familiar?”

The Pope smiled helplessly before saying, “I might look like I’m spouting nonsense out of nowhere. In fact, you must have believed I invited you here so that we could discuss the engagement.

“While that might be true, it wasn’t everything.” The Pope turned around. “If you were similar to Elysion Aquamoon, I would probably not talk about this.

“However, you are not. Your existence itself is not the same as the others. That’s why, before proceeding with the engagement, I have to mention this.

“After all, you won’t be the only one facing this, but she will have to face it too.” The Pope glanced at Sera. “Before you become the son-in-law, I’d like to confirm one thing. In this game, are you the one playing it? Are you the piece? What do you wish to achieve?”
