Episode 246-Empire (6)
‘What will happen?’
On the outside, he maintains a calm and consistent attitude, but that is just his basic ability as a seasoned politician. In fact, Count Garian, who was just an ordinary human being, was in a very nervous state right now.
It wasn’t just because of the young elf queen in front of her. Serenian, who clearly had a strong faith within her, did not show her weaknesses, but in the end, she was not real either.
‘Does the God who is said to have judged with the light of destruction really exist?’
What he wanted now, even though he was being a bit arrogant, was none other than a transcendent being.
The beings called gods truly exist on this earth, bestowing various blessings on their respective forces and leaving behind divine power at this very moment to influence them.
If such a being really exists in the land of Eden, he cannot be sure what will happen to him, so Count Garian risks his own life as well as his family left behind in his hometown to carry out the emperor’s orders.
“I can give you a chance to meet him.”
In that split-second moment, when he was thinking about what to do next, Serenian, who had also finished his short thought, smiled faintly.
“But if that happens, can you handle it? “His will cannot be resisted even by me.”
“…If God really wants to punish us, there is nothing we can do.”
When she came closer and whispered, the count’s composure eventually broke, and he flinched and took a step back.
But even if you are so afraid, there is no need to stop him when he says he will prepare for death.
“Let’s take them to Eden.”
Serenian grinned and gave an order to the elves around him.
Of course, we won’t take you away like this. Eden’s location is strictly confidential. I was planning to cover my eyes and completely hide my location.
“Will the Heavenly God dare to spare those who doubt his existence? “If you take them for no reason and they die, the empire might use that as an excuse to move.”
“Ruri, don’t think too hard about him.”
As a forest clan that does not have a strong sense of status or authority, Ruri mentioned some minor concerns about Serenian’s decision, but Serenian smiled and shook his head.
“Yes? Ha, but…”
“It’s true. Surely his power from the heavens we look up to is mighty and destructive, but he may be more…Ordinary than we think.”
Serenian told Ruri, who was embarrassed, not to think too hard or be afraid of God.
He even mentioned that maybe he might be more ordinary than he thought. These were words that Ruri, who had only seen heavenly punishment or blessings, could not easily understand.
‘As expected, he is the person I spent the longest time with.’
Ruri, who did not understand until the end, ended up trying to convince her in his own way.

“So, they are coming here now? Riding a fairy ant?”
“Okay. Maybe he’s up to something. “You might be really curious because the beings called gods disappeared a long time ago.”
Serenian, who said he ran first, said that people from the empire would arrive here as soon as he saw me.
I didn’t really mind seeing them. What matters is their purpose.
“Is that all? I guess it won’t be that difficult. Doesn’t God give you resources every day? Or you can offer a prayer for rain.”
Proof that God exists? Honestly, I didn’t even need to show it. We were already providing resources to them in the flower pot world on a regular basis. Just showing that is enough.
“I brought in his strangers without his permission. “Wouldn’t he be angry?”
“I have emphasized this many times, but the most important thing is your independence. “No need to worry.”
Serenian was worried that God or I might be angry because of his arbitrary actions. Actually, I was very concerned about that part.

I just help them because I want to help them. There was no intention to control them or to be worshiped.
I had no intention of disturbing the imperial delegation that was visiting this time. Because the world in the flower pot and the empire are not yet hostile.
“But will they really go back and admire it? “There are real divine beings in Eden, so should we just not mess with that place?”
“I don’t think so either. Rather, they might have a different mindset after seeing that God’s power extends only to Eden.”
“I’m also worried about that regent named Orca. “Why does the person who was also called the hero’s lover show actions that are completely different from what the hero wanted?”
Neither I nor Serenian let down our guard. From what I heard, the new empire ruled by Orca is actually continuing its coercive actions against the entire continent.
While the things Serenians want to protect are increasing beyond Eden, the world inside a flower pot, they have experienced countless things and committed crazy acts that show their teeth against the entire world. Even if they confirm my existence, I don’t think they will stay silent. .
“If they try to kill us, I have to fight.”
“Of course he will help too.”
Serenian, whose face became slightly pale as if he had imagined it, said that he must fight. Since it was an expected answer, I definitely answered that I would help with that as well.
“Then, just in case, if an imperial delegation comes, let’s give it a try.”
“Sun, what?”
“Tell them the secret about the hero’s death and let Orca know it. “To remove the stigma that the warrior abandoned them by leaving irresponsibly.”
Embarrassed, she lost her words after hearing my suggestion. However, I thought this would be a very good shock to them.
“Well, there is no way they will believe me. I have never experienced a great war. “It would be better to talk to Kara, who used to be a hero.”
“What does it matter whether you believe it or not? “It’s a secret that God told me.”
She laughed as she stuttered, pointing her finger to the sky.
Absolute power is very convenient in times like this. Even if I say out loud that 1+1 is 3, they probably have no choice but to believe it.
[If the change in Orca, a hero who followed humanism, is the departure of the hero, I can infer his actions based on the human emotions I recently learned.]
“What does that mean?”
[Love is a disease]
“If that’s true, then you really are a great guy.”
The point at which we got out of the flower pot and returned to the living room. The wind spirit that had been silent opened its mouth.
It was the wind spirit that gave me the most knowledge about the other world, which I knew relatively little about. Due to the nature of the spirit, it spoke only based on objective facts, so there was no need to be swayed by emotions.
[If Orca learns about the hero’s death, maybe Orca will stop his actions]
“Doesn’t it seem like a hope circuit?”
[Other hypotheses also exist. [If Orca was like that from the beginning]
“What’s important now is not that person whose face I don’t even know.”
I’m still curious, but I intentionally cut off the wind spirit’s words. Right now, the imperial delegation that would soon reach the flowerpot world was more important than Orca.
Serenian said he would prove the existence of God to them without taking any action, but once he found out, he did not want to just sit back and watch.
“I am a guest, so I should make him feel welcome.”
A while ago, I tricked Lua, a human knight who also did not believe in my existence, by conspiring with Serenian to make her faint.
Of course, Lua came to believe in my existence after that and is still living in the forest in a human body. She heard that she became lovers with one of the elven knights.
“It’s a bit too much to overdo the complicated show.”
A suitable power that was strong but not too light was needed. I’ve been putting on a show for a while, but I don’t think it’s necessary, so I held up the laser.
‘I’m sorry, but there’s nothing like this.’
All you have to do is give Serenian a little hint. If I induce them to make a very serious ‘mistake’, I reveal my existence under the pretext of punishing them.
If you scare them moderately and they become frightened, it will be easier to control them to suit your tastes.
[What happens if they turn against you as expected? Can the current Eden withstand the all-out offensive of those who have already formed a strong force?]
“Residents, including Serenians, should come forward for that. “All I can do is provide a final resting place.”
You can use several flower pots. They may flee in great numbers. If they have the will to fight, I can create a safe zone where they can return and rest at any time.
‘Was it this kind of competition?’
Just a competition between participants that took place a few decades ago. Looking back at that example, in the end, to win the competition, you have to conquer beyond the world inside the flower pot.
The future of those trapped in the flowerpot is defeat and isolation.
