From the beginning of the story, the phrase "Seven Light Holy Church" appears frequently throughout Super Easy. The Seven Light Holy Church is an organization founded by Tsukasa and his friends, but where did the name come from? And what was the purpose of the organization? This time, we'll introduce the Seven Light Holy Church, which plays a major role in the story.
The Seven Light Holy Church is inspired by a certain fairy tale
The Seven Light Holy Church is inspired by the fairy tale "The Seven Heroes." The villagers don't know much about the Seven Heroes. Their only clue is what Winona said early in the story: "Seven Heroes appeared from the outside world and saved the continent from the clutches of an evil dragon." However, because this story closely resembles their own situation, everyone listens to her story with frowns.
The Seven Holy Lights Religion Actually Exists, but It Was Once Extinct
While the Seven Heroes are presented as a fairy tale, it has been revealed that the Seven Holy Lights Religion was a real religion that existed in the past. While the exact time period is unclear, it is said to have been a thriving religion on the continent long ago, and was destroyed by the Freagard Dynasty for some reason. So Tsukasa and his friends decided to call themselves the "Seven Holy Lights Religion" and search for anyone who knows the real Seven Holy Lights Religion.
When was the Seven Holy Lights Religion born?
Although the Seven Holy Lights Church may have existed in fairy tales since ancient times, Tsukasa and his men re-established the Seven Holy Lights Church in this world a few days after the capture of Castle Findorff. After taking possession of the castle, Tsukasa and his men decided to use religion to refer to themselves as the Seven Holy Lights Church, reasoning that "people wouldn't follow if they suddenly called themselves a country."
The god of the Seven Holy Lights Church is Prince Akatsuki, now known as God Akatsuki!
The first thing the Superhuman High School students must decide upon when starting their "religion" as the Shichikouseikyo is the name of the main deity they will worship. The person chosen for this crucial role is Prince Akatsuki, who is honestly the least reliable of the Superhuman High School students. He was chosen as god because of his abilities as the world's greatest magician. Tsukasa announces his tricky and gimmicky magic tricks as "miracles," and in order to gain control of the people's hearts, he calls himself "God Akatsuki" and has him perform the role of a "living god." Akatsuki initially opposed this important role, but was quickly dismissed by Tsukasa's devious words, "As long as they believe, the authenticity of the idol doesn't matter."
The Other Six Become Angels
The Seven Lights Church's philosophy is "equality," and they pledge to "not place one person above another," as in the case of nobles and commoners. However, since they are with God Akatsuki, who is a god, they will inevitably become people worshipped by others... Thinking this, Tsukasa and the others decided to call themselves messengers of God, or "angels," and to deny their humanity.
The delicate relationship between the Seven Holy Lights Church and the Blue Legion
During their battle with Gustave, the Seven Holy Lights Church encounters a resistance group known as the Blue Legion. The Blue Legion's goal is to save the suffering people of Gustave's territory. In other words, the Blue Legion's enemy is Gustave, just like the Seven Holy Lights Church, and "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." Furthermore, the Blue Legion has sent spies among Gustave's entourage and subordinates, and Shinobu encounters Jeanne, who has infiltrated the country as a Silver Knight, and they fight side by side for a while.
The Seven Lights Holy Church and the Blue Troupe after the Defeat of Gustave
Until Gustave's defeat, the two organizations shared common interests and fought side by side. However, their relationship began to deteriorate when Conrad, the leader of the Blue Troupe, became the lord of Gustave's territory. Although they appeared to be cooperating, Conrad, after acquiring the territory, began to lie to enrich himself, and Tsukasa saw through his lies. This led Tsukasa to declare that cooperation with the Blue Troupe was impossible. He then began a plot to seize Gustave's territory from the Blue Troupe.
