Temple (3)
“… … Are you telling me to become a god now?”
The sudden question was surprising, but I kept my mouth shut, trying to appear as calm as possible.
become a new god
The word itself surprised me, but the most important thing is probably why he suggested it to me.
But the opponent was calm.
“To be precise, he is a preliminary god. Learning what to do as a god under me, fulfilling the wishes of people on earth… … Yes, like an angel.”
“So you’re telling me to start with Shidabari?”
“… … Well, you can see it’s similar. It’s a little bit expressive.”
It is said to go through the process of apprenticeship on earth to become a god.
It was funny to say, but there was definitely something appealing about it.
‘God… … I thought that my potential was divine, but if I really became a god… … I don’t want it to be bad.’
People often imagine themselves becoming kings or emperors.
Or become a real god and show off your omnipotence.
However, knowing that it is a dream that cannot come true, everyone leaves the dream as a dream, but if it really becomes a reality, it will be a different story.
Being able to do what you really want to do at least once.
Because it was definitely attractive.
of course-
“Why are you choosing me? According to what you said, I would be the heir of the demon god who is the opposite of you. Isn’t it inappropriate to be the successor of someone who can be called a good god?”
The problem remained.
The god in front of you is definitely a good god that spreads across the continent.
Because it was strange that he was trying to put me under his control, who he said was the heir of the demon god.
But, as if he expected my question, he replied with a grin.
“Who do you think has decided good and evil?”
“… … ?”
“The definition of those you know is only human. In the world of gods, the distinction between human good and evil is meaningless.”
“… … .”
It was a terrifying word.
That everything I know will not work for the God in front of me.
and-
‘… … Then this child in front of you might not be as good as it is.’
I opened my eyes to the fact that what I thought was the god of this world and full of benevolence may not be the truth.
But for a while.
“Is that why you locked me up here? By touching the magic inside the holy sword?”
“Oh, you’re quick-witted.”
“If you put the stories together, you will find the answer.”
The truth is that if I am the heir of a demon, and I can freely handle the holy sword, the holy sword is actually a demon sword.
That seemed surprisingly correct.
Seeing him astonished at the words I took a rough picture of, I straightened my posture.
“Then is that the end you want?”
“okay. Oh, and one more thing: if you turn down my offer, from now on, I will do my best to kill you.”
“… … The level of intimidation is really low. Are you God?”
“Unfortunately, God and man are only one piece of paper. That’s how it was made.”
The look of his smirking smirk was terrifying.
But after suppressing the horror by forcing my heart to be crushed, I took a deep breath and answered.
“I will decline.”
“Um, why?”
refuse.
God, who heard my answer, looked at me with a surprised face, as if he did not know that I would be rejected, and asked.
“I don’t trust you, and I don’t even want to work for you- would that be the answer?”
“Haha, that’s a funny answer. And it’s a human answer. But you’re not human, kid. give me one more chance Will you obey my will?”
chance given once again.
He smiled and spoke, but seeing him with his eyes wide open didn’t make him look very happy.
But my answer has already been decided.
“I don’t like it.”
“… … yes, good to hear You’re a cheeky kid.”
refuse.
God’s smile finally cracked at the answer of rejection that was heard again.
At the same time, his complexion deteriorated to such an extent that he even had the illusion of hearing a squeaking sound.
Woodduck!
“… …ね!”
“See you again soon. I won’t be able to see you alive then.”
A powerful force that presses down all around.
At the same time, a painful moan erupted from his mouth, but Shin, wearing the body of a bolt rouge ship, calmly turned and exited the dungeon.
trudge-
Along with the sound of his footsteps getting farther away, the energy that seemed to squeeze his neck was getting further and further away.
It was a strange feeling.
Even if a muscular bodybuilder came up to me right away and put on a headlock, I wouldn’t have suffocated like this.
It was really strange.
But that was also for a while.
“Whew… … after… … I will live for a while.”
Take a few deep breaths and twist to open the clogged pores.
I immediately left my seat and got up.
After all, the prison bars were bent like a tow, and there was no one to stop me, and no one to stop me even if they did.
“Okay, then let’s have a fight.”
I was bored of being locked up in a dungeon for a few days, but that’s good.
It was time to go to war with the kingdom that had God behind it.

convent.
True to the name of Seongguk, there were many places in the Holy Empire that bore the name of convents.
However, apart from that, the convent where Elizabeth Rouge Sun is now located was splendid enough to be called an imperial palace rather than a convent.
Of course, the splendor was not the glamor that stood out, but the splendor that exuded a subtle yet divine splendor, although it was a little different.
“… … Oh God.”
In such splendor, Elizabeth Rougesun, as always, prayed to the god she believed in.
“Please let the world know about Heize’s innocence.”
Maggie?
She knew well that it was no longer a distinction between good and evil.
She was surprised when Heize had the Magi, but she knew that it wasn’t proof that Heize was a villain.
Because there were beings who were evil even though they had divine power, while there were beings who were good even though they had magical powers.
But that was her idea anyway.
“It’s nice to be quiet.”
“… … Brother.”
In front of such Elizabeth Rouge Sun, her only brother appeared.
bolt loose wire.
Looking at him who had taken his place, Elizabeth Rougesun looked at him with a calm face without any emotion.
“It will happen soon.”
“… … Yes?”
But she couldn’t hide her embarrassment at his next words.
work?
What does that mean?
It seems like it was just yesterday that Heize vomited out magic at the Pope’s coronation ceremony a few days ago, but it’s happening again.
Elisabeth Rougesun, who rose from her seat, staggering at the unbelievable facts, saw the aura of a mighty god.
“My child.”
“… … .”
instinctively knew.
He is his brother, but not his brother.
god.
When she realizes that something she doesn’t believe in resides in her brother’s body and stares blankly at it.
“A child with magic will disturb the kingdom.”
“It’s absurd.”
“Are you not believing the word of the God you believe in now?”
“… … .”
When Heize said that he would make a riot again, Elizabeth Rougesun immediately objected, saying that it was impossible, but God was calm.
“You will have to decide. Between the child you believe in and me. And the whole kingdom.”
“… … .”
“Then think about it and agonize. He is my favorite child.”
Curl rumble-
As soon as she finished speaking, Elizabeth Rougesun looked at the place, startled by the harsh vibrations coming from outside.
when you turn your head again.
There was nobody there.
“I… … how… … What should I choose?”
In such a situation, Elizabeth Rougesun had to think about something she had never done before.
Which one to choose from amongst the undoubted Seongguk, God, and Heize?
Her troubles continued even as the vibrations outside grew bigger and bigger.

Aww!
after God left.
I immediately kicked out of the dungeon.
The paladins from the outside rushed at me, terrified, at the sight of me smashing the dungeon in an instant, but—
“go away.”
Quick!
No matter how well-dressed the paladin, the difference in basic specifications was too great.
Because they couldn’t get through my fist.
They did not bother to finish them lying on the floor.
After all, they weren’t the ones who would be in danger even if they met later, and the real threat was not them, but the gods beyond them.
Kick-
I can hear other people running behind me as I run fast.
But hearing that sound didn’t stop me.
Rather, it just moved faster.
The moment you feel your muscles beating and blood flowing wildly.
My body was already moving forward.
“Move!”
You never know when God will return.
You never know what kind of power you’ll come back with.
There was no one who could stop me from running with that worry alone.
The rushing paladins bounce off like bowling pins, and they don’t care about them lying on the floor.
“Light!”
“Stop it!”
Whoa ah ah ah!
A milky-colored divine power membrane that appeared in front of me.
He knew just how strong it was without even hitting it.
So I clenched my teeth and rushed.
Thump thump!
My body pumped like a runaway locomotive, and at the same time, my body rushed in and broke the membrane of divine power.
Kwak!
Fragments of divine power that scatter like shards of glass.
They flew around and cut through the skin, but were shallow.
Even that was recovering in real time, so it wouldn’t pose any danger to me.
After confirming up to that point, I left my seat as it was.
bang!
The moment when my body soared high into the sky with a sound as if a bomb had exploded, and soared high enough to see the entire Seongguk at a glance.
“… … what?”
I couldn’t help but rub my eyes like someone who saw something I couldn’t see.
An army located in the far distance on the border of the Holy Kingdom.
The army was all too familiar with it.
“… … The Altair Empire?”
Because they were the ones I had personally led to the Holy Land.
It was surprising that they were constantly radiating a gloomy look toward Seongguk while they were ready for battle.
But think about it for a while.
“Your Majesty?”
The moment I saw Emperor Emerez, who exudes the most turbulent force in front of them, I had to blow myself in front of her without thinking any further.
