The truth of the Blessed

The Goddess Church continued to resist the ever changing world.

1, Those who hold a heretical document and those who touch its contents are to be executed.

2, Those who try to remove the second heart, those who have removed it, and those who helped the removal are to be executed.

3, Those who claim that the Blessed are malformations that do not possess a second heart by nature are to be executed.

4, Those who doubt the Goddess Church are sinners. If you find anyone suspicious of this crime, report it.

Such orders were issued to each country, and the crackdown was aided with the effort of their clergies.

But that failed rather miserably. People who were hesitant to remove their second hearts until then thought,

「The rumors must be true, why else would the Goddess Church be so aggressive」

Unfortunately for the Church, underground surgeons specializing in second heart excisions were active in various countries. People happily relied on these doctors for their excisions. Of course, there were some who informed the church, but that was far from enough to stop the moving world.

The world had begun to change, and the efforts of the Goddess Church were only in vain.

People happily excised their second hearts, traded internationally without permission, or abandoned their homeland to explore the new world. As a result, the power of the Goddess Church diminished day by day.

Until finally, a decisive event comes and ends the Church.
