40 CH.39 Hope

It has been a month since my religion started and luckily no deity's attention has been focused on me but of course, I could not take that chance, especially since my whole cult was smack dap in New York.

So I made Christine move it to a less conspicuous place, which happened to be Idaho, there were multiple reasons that I did this and not just because I wasn't nearly powerful enough to fight a god, no one reason that I did this because Idaho has a lot of land and wilderness, so buying land and starting a community would not be a problem and it was the first state that came to my mind.

The other reason that I did this was that my cult was growing bigger and bigger by the day, so it was a good idea for me to give them a bigger community. So, I made Christine buy a big plot of land in Idaho and had her move the whole cult there, and of course, they did not have any problems with it, as within a month their devotion is at an all-time high.

This was because after a month almost every homeless person that came into the cult had been healed and had found a new purpose for their lives, in a more basic way for me to explain I gave them a home. And because of that their devotion and belief in me is increasing every day and man can I feel it.

Before they moved to Idaho of course built a community with the help of my skeletons, which made building things convenient.

So, I had my cult moved to Idaho and once again start recruiting people but this time, instead of going for homeless people I told Christine to go for children and sick people, but still also feed homeless people because we at the cult of the end are here to end hunger and much more.

The reason why I am doing this is that I am no longer afraid of deities looking toward me as finally hades have kept his promise and delivered my two presents. One is my car which I am very glad to have back, and the other is a necklace that works almost the same as his helmet, crafted by the one and only Hephaestus. The necklace only works for a day and needs a day of recharge of my own power and can't really stop high tier deities like Zeus or Odin and at best can only stop mid-tiers deities but still, I'm okay with this as when if my guess is correct, I will only need this for a short time.

So following my order Christine started spreading my cult on the basis that we could heal the sick, I specifically told her to go after parents that had sick children as they would be easier to integrate into the religion.

The plan worked just how I thought it would, most parents did not reply but those who were desperate enough and had already tried something like this, flock to use it like doves. Such as one family the smiths because of course their white, anyway the smiths were a regular god-fearing family until their daughter got diagnosed with cancer and no matter how much they prayed god did nothing for them and soon they lost their faith, with no other options then seeing their daughter die a slow and painful death, the smiths turn to a more spiritual medicine in hope of curing their daughter.

After multiple places and different religions, nothing worked so far, and they were just about on their last straw but then they heard about us and about how Christine's cancer was cured, so in their final attempt they came to the new church of the end in Idaho, hoping that they could cure their daughter.

The day that they arrived was Thursday one of the two days that one was required in the cult of the end to go to church and pray. Christen preached for about twenty minutes until she brought attention to the smiths and daughter.

"Now brother and sisters our Lord has brought us a family to end their suffering," Christine said pointing to the smiths.

"Meet the smiths, they are a regular family but fate has been unfair to them and has cursed their daughter Samantha with sickness," Christine said coming towards Samantha that was in a wheelchair.

Samantha looked like a poster child, for one of those donate to cancer treatment ads, she had a bald head and her body looked fragile, she reminded me of a smaller Christine before I healed her.

"Do not worry child our Lord has brought you here to end your sickness," Christine said standing in front of Samantha.

"Do I have permission to heal you, child," Christine asked holding out her hand, this was something new that I made Christine do before she healed anybody, it gave her a beloved healer look to her

Samantha looked at her parents who nodded, so she looked at Christine and gave her a hand to Christine, Christine gently grabbed her hand and started healing her, even though it has been a month and Christine's energy capacity has grown a lot, it still wasn't enough to heal her cancer so as she started struggling to heal her I did something for the first time since the cult started, I appeared in front of my believers.

As Christine struggled, I slowly came out of her shadow shocking my cult causing them to bow and shocking the smiths. I paid them no attention and put my hand on Christine's head and started giving her my energy, as soon as I did that Christine stopped struggling and started smiling.

With my energy, Christine started healing Samantha and soon one could see the changes in Samantha, her brittle body changed into a healthy one, and her hair grew once again, but the most obvious fact was her eyes, her eyes had the glimmer of hope once again.
