The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess-Novel
234 Chapter 234A carriage pulled by three horses galloped its way to the centre of Holy City.
The carriage was neither extravagant nor did it look ordinary.
The Holy City was a place where all sorts of people from different walks of life were found.
Whether it was a high-standing aristocrat or a poor man everyone had to maintain a certain decorum.
No matter the situation, fights weren’t allowed in this City.
At the centre of the City stood a huge church which had been standing for countless generations but even after so many years, time hadn’t left a mark on it.
People didn’t know whether it was due to maintenance or being a place resided by Goddess but this place looked as if it had been built recently.
Alex could feel the tranquillity in his heart as soon as he entered the periphery.
For a person with an unstable heart who wants a moment of peace, this place was the best.
As the carriage stopped, Athena and Alex walked down.
The people nearby halted their steps as soon as they saw Athena and the man beside her also piqued their curiosity.
Athena walked up followed by Alex like an obedient child afraid of being lost.
Alex wanted to see the expression of the priests and nuns toward Athena but surprisingly they bowed their heads to Athena as if she still held a respectable place for her but when it came to Alex they stared at him with a curious expression as if he was a lab rat.
“Sister Athena, you are here.”Athena turned her head to see a blonde-haired girl and greeted her.
“Hello, Ophelia!”
“Sister, are you here to take back the Saintess position?”
“I can finally relax a bit,” Ophelia muttered with a brightened expression but Athena’s refusal woke up from her thoughts.
She pouted with a cute expression. After Athena left, she was made temporarily Saintess for the time being.
Ophelia turned her head to see the golden-haired man and flinched a little.
Alex gritted his teeth and wondered why everyone was seeing him as if he was a lab rat.
‘Should I use my holy power?’
“Don’t,” Athena spoke with a stern expression.
“They are behaving like this because they are intimidated by your presence. Anyone close to Goddess can feel her presence in you.” Athena answered.
“They are not looking down on you.”

“I and Riya knew you very well. You couldn’t even speak properly before and if we didn’t learn what you wanted to express by seeing your face, your childhood would be a lot worse than you can imagine.”
“You could just babble useless things and couldn’t even speak properly before.”
Alex frowned on hearing her words.
“Ophelia, take Alex to the Goddess prayer room.”
“Meanwhile, I wanted to meet Archbishop Mick,” Athena ordered.
Ophelia nodded and asked Alex to follow her.
Alex on the way stared at the exquisite materials the church was made up of. This place reeked of riches.
The window panes have gems embedded in them that reflect the rays of the sun in different colours and the ceiling was made of glass while the pillar seemed to be made of Jade.
“You can enter,” Ophelia said standing before the door.
“This is the private prayer room.”
Alex opened the door and entered the room.
The room was empty, made of white walls and white floors.
The only eye-catching thing was the Goddess Rebecca statue in the middle.
Alex’s eyes glistened seeing it.
“Holy moly!”
“Just what kind of material is this statute made of?”
“Alex walked towards the statute and his eyes shone brilliantly as he muttered,” I should scrap some material from it and sell it at a good price.”
“Hehehee!”
BAM!
Lightning struck Alex out of nowhere followed by an annoyed voice.
“Imprudent brat! Did you burn down all the manners we teach you?”
“Bullshit!”
“In what way does getting beaten all day and tortured with all kinds of weapons interpreted as learning manners.”
“Moreover, I will just grind your statue a bit and sell the holy powder. What’s wrong with it?”Alex muttered.
“If you dare to touch my statue, I will declare you as a heretic.” Goddess Rebecca threatened.
“Let me see how you do that. I will also drag your precious daughter into the mud.”
“You wolf. You dare to bite the hands that feed you.”
“Not only do I dare to bite but I will also chew and swallow it. So, let’s just stop the nonsense.”
Rebecca was startled seeing Alex shameless.
“You knew I was coming to meet so shouldn’t you at least make a chair for me,” Alex smirked.
“Stop pissing me, Alex,” Rebecca shouted.
“Okay!” Alex laughed and spoke, “You already know why I came here.”
“Hmmm!”
“So, let me ask you why are they staring at me like that,” Alex asked.
“That’s because the amount of blessing you have isn’t something one could adapt at your level.”
“The blessing your body contains is enough to kill a mythic rank warrior.”
Alex blinked and asked with surprise.”Since when did blessing kill people?”
“Too much everything is bad. If you eat too much you ought to feel sick. Strong blessings may damage and burn the body if one body cannot bear the burden.”Goddess Rebecca muttered.
“I see!”
“Alex, recently humans formed a team to attack the realm of darkness.”
Alex’s eyes enlarged and he stared at the statute with a surprised expression.
Alex knew that the realm of Darkness and God of Darkness possess a certain threat to Goddess and the world.
He even inferred that he was trained so that he could fight them and safeguard this realm. In a way, he was their weapon.
“What was the result?”
“Three overlord warriors died along with 6 supremes.”
“Fortunately, the human strongest warrior was present, otherwise everyone would have died. They didn’t even seek our opinion before setting off. We can’t peek inside the realm of darkness so we don’t know how the battle went but it can be considered a victory for humans seeing their reaction.” Goddess Rebecca informed.
” I don’t know if it can be called victory Goddess, “Alex spoke with a solemn expression.
” The balance of power on the human side must have suffered a bit.”
“Humans side still has a lot of strong opponents though it was quite suicidal on their part to enter the place.” Goddess Rebecca muttered.

“Poor men sacrificed their lives for the world and no one knew about it. That’s why I don’t want to be a hero.”Alex spoke with a self-deprecating smile.
A hero bears the burden of the whole world, protects them, and works hard for them but they never get the glory they deserve rather they just die anonymously.
It was a pity.
Most people don’t even know that another realm exists and they were targeted.
One day the whole world may be shattered due to the invasion of the people of the Darkness realm. Alex was sure about it and he needed to prepare himself for that to bear the mantle if the need arises.
“I just pray that no conflict arises within the different species during this period that may lead to war,” Alex spoke.
“I don’t think the Elf’s side will engage in war as Hira had asked them to lay low and prepare for the future.”
“And yeah, Hira had asked me to tell you to visit the Elves when you grow stronger.”
“Huuh!What did the Goddess of Nature want from me?”
“She wants you to revive World Tree. It had been wilting due to the people of the Darkness realm trying to corrupt it.”
“How can I revive it?” Alex asked.
“You have a huge amount of blessing. The system had stored it and you would share it a bit with the tree. You are the only person in the world that has been blessed by almost all of God and Goddesses including major and minor.”
‘Bless my ass. You are pulling the trigger placing the gun on my shoulder. Do you think I am a fool or a naive kid? My knowledge has been honed by reading countless s and manga. You can’t fool me.’
“I got it. The system is a power bank, I am a charger and World tree is a phone.”
“What!”
“Nothing,” Alex shook his head.
“By the way, I wanted to talk about Riya,” Alex said.
“Goddess, do you know about Riya’s birth or his parents? I feel Riya is a bit different. She should have the power of Goddess of lust only but her concealment skills are quite superior.”
“At first, I thought this was due to the kind of art she practised but the more I saw it, the more I noticed something odd.”
“She seemed to have the power of darkness and could manipulate the shadow as if she was shadowing herself. I wanted to confirm if this is correct or if I am wrong.”
Goddess Rebecca kept silent for a moment.
“I am not doubting her nor am I weary of her powers. I just wanted to know if there is a link between them and her.”
“Both you and Riya need to figure that out. That’s part of her life.”
“Hmm! That means she has the power of darkness.” Alex muttered with a smile.
Who could be happier than him after knowing that his wife had strong power?
“Okay, let’s finish things off.”Goddess Rebecca.
“From now on you hold a special identity in the Church. Don’t sully my reputation.” She muttered and her statute glowed.
The entire place illuminates and a pillar of light rises from the Church, shocking everyone.
