Chapter 1050: Incoming Changes
-----
The world of Spiritias had gone through many religions as far as I know, and there might have been even more in prehistory, back when the Living Gods such as the Divine Dragons, Titans, and the Elemental Spirit Races lived around the entire planet before the war that killed most of them and left the mortals to inherit the world.
In these ancient times not only did they create the power of Talents, Levels, and Skills themselves, somehow finding the ability to use specific giant devices to imbue a soul with these powers, which I would simply call "Soul Book" that allows every person in the world to be able to Level Up, learn Skills, and such.
It has been mostly a "hidden power" where people could only estimate what they had and how it worked approximately, without many ways of being able to see it as clearly as my Grimoire…
Nonetheless, wondering what religions or cultures these people had fills me with wonder, especially when I remember seeing some of those memories, from Bestellen.
I should probably ask that dragon more about the past, if he's willing to talk about it.
In the present, there's several religions, although the Holy Spirit Religion has become the largest and is rapidly expanding, it didn't exist a few thousand years ago, and it is much younger compared to the Yggdrasil Religion, or the other religions.
I believe that there is no "Supreme God above all else" in this world, and that all gods should try to live together. Thankfully, the Holy Spirits are very open minded, and easily allow for such things without problems.
They accept all other religions and even have become allies of the existing gods, although they have grown rather weaker over time due to the demon invasion.
They seemed very worried about Yggdrasil when they talked me about the tree in that dream I had, so they surely care, more than other people may think.
After all, the elves, or the vast majority, dislike the Holy Spirit Church and won't let them enter their continent and settle down.
This causes problems, as the Church is one of the biggest organizations of the world right now, one that brings resources, food, workforce, and more to areas that had been ravaged by the demons.
If the elves had dropped their stupid pride and let the church of Holy Spirits settle down, they could have received help with Paladins and Soldiers, alongside Priests and Healers, and also food and more.
They could have been able to hold back against the demons much more easily, yet they decided to reject their help and didn't even let them settle down.
"This just shows how prideful the elves are, I apologize for that…" sighed Rosenheim.
We were just having this conversation while having lunch. Elfriedden's mother and his brother were going to get their spirit orb fix after this, and were looking forward to it.
"I remember being part of the mob that didn't want the church to join and ended voting amongst the nobles to not let them inside our continent…" sighed Everfrost, Elfriedden's mother. "Now I realize how stupid of a decision that was! Elizabeth here has never tried to enforce her religion on anybody… She's simply here to help."
"Although there are some priests that like to do that, I belong to the faction of our religion that advocates for charity and to help everyone in need," said Elizabeth. "I follow the footsteps of my master and adoptive father, High Priest Ellergest.
He always said that every person, no matter their race, no matter their skin color, and no matter their religion or culture, deserves a helping hand when they most need it. He often said that we are nobody to deny the help to someone in need when we have so much of everything, and that is always important to share and help one another, because we mortals can only move forward together, not alone."
"Wise words," nodded Everfrost. "Your father would be proud of the girl he raised, Elizabeth. Thank you for helping my people recover with your magic, you're a miracle by your own. Without you… even after recovering from the transformations, most people would have died. Perhaps even including me and my son…"
"Thank you big sis!" said Sapphirus. "Are you going to marry big brother too?"
"E-Eh? Goodness, no! I am engaged with Blake, little Sapphirus!" laughed Elizabeth.
"Sapphirus! Don't say such things, Blake is right here," sighed Everfrost.

"But papa had many mistresses, so why brother can't?" wondered little Sapphirus again.
"Because there's no way I would let him have anybody else than myself! That's why, little brother-in-law," Rosenheim gave Sapphirus a rather… threatening smile.
"I-I see…" Sapphirus felt her pressure and quickly ended shutting up.
"Anyways," Elfriedden said. "I am glad it was a success; I was so worried… Rosenheim, are you sure there are no side effects? I think we should wait another week and-"
"There's no time for that, I told you already!" Rosenheim was about to smack his head. "If there are drawbacks or not, if there's pain or not, none of those matters! Yggdrasil needs our help, people need their hope, and in a week Yggdrasil is going to die!"
"O-Okay, I get it!" Elfriedden cried. "I'm sorry, sorry!"
He was acting very unlike himself, getting yelled at by his girlfriend and all, and him just accepting all of it instead of rebelliously fighting back as usual.
It was quite an entertaining sight to see by everyone in here, we enjoyed it.
"Ahahah! Seeing this dude being yelled at is pretty nice," laughed Chris.
"He's sure different with her…" Eric nodded.
"It's hilarious," Erdrich smiled smugly.
"You guys should stop mocking Elfriedden… He just loves his girlfriend…" sighed Alberta.
"Well, we know, we know, we're just saying~" laughed Chris. "Hahahah! Look at him!"
"Tch…" Elfriedden only clicked his tongue as he heard their words.
He was sure going to get back at Chris later…
Once lunch was over, we moved to the area where Rosenheim was fixed, and this time, we did the same for Elfriedden's mother and brother.
Unlike Rosenheim… both chose the Nephalem Spirit Orb instead.
