How To Live As A Writer In A Fantasy World chapter 656

656 – Mercy (1)

Many conditions are necessary for a god to descend into the present world. If you blindly descend, your body’s power will be weakened and it will have a big and small impact on the present world.

It is possible for the gods of this world to descend if they want to, but this is rarely the case. Unless the fate of the world is at stake, like the demon war.

In the distant past, indirect experiences were made using incarnations, but these days there are very few such cases.

Even in the past, war was prevalent, so in effect, Luminous alone used incarnation.

“Could you please explain?”

In other words, it means that the situation unfolding in front of me right now is impossible.

Even descending into the present world carries a huge burden, but for some reason, it is fine.

The beautiful and mysterious appearance that I saw during the asceticism was the same, and even the unique reckless personality.

I don’t know if I could understand even one thing, but I had no choice but to ask for an explanation because I couldn’t even get a sense of what the hell was going on.

“As I said earlier, this is the price for being forced. Can’t you feel anything when you look at me now?”

“Yes.”

“I’m in the same situation as you. I’m far from a mortal, but it’s not enough to be called a god. By the way, aren’t you deprived of your divinity?”

“Then what is it?”

I asked bluntly and Mora glanced under her. Ariel is still in her arms.

Then she carefully put Ariel on her bed and stroked her hair. Ariel also smiled Betsy, as if her touch was pleasant.

“As you know, the most important things to become a god are divinity and faith. These are the two things. But there are things that even gods are not allowed to touch.”

“······Is it like fate?”

“It’s similar. Rather than fate, it’s order. Just like the gods of the earth went mad, order is very important to us too.”

Mora’s explanation is roughly like this. If things had gone as it should, there would have been numerous victims in the Starbirk incident.

But I am a being who is out of the order of this world, so I used an expedient. It really twisted fate.

“I am the goddess who presides over peace. If things went as they were, a war similar to the one that occurred on Earth would have broken out.”

“You mean World War I?”

“Right.”

“But the process is similar, but no country is in alliance with Starbirk?”

World War I was caused by throwing a torch into a powder keg. A war that broke out in an imminent situation.

The last incident also went in a similar way to the Sarajevo incident, but there are many deficiencies in terms of the world situation.

For some reason, the war between the Minerva Empire and Starbirk was not known at all.

“Do you remember her weapon that almost hurt Rina?”

“You mean a gun?”

“That’s right. Because of that weapon, the empire will struggle beyond imagination. It must have been an unexpected result.”

I looked puzzled at the statement that the presence of guns would make the empire suffer. Even so, I don’t understand why the Empire struggles because of guns.

Although the idea of inventing a gun itself is nonsensical, it was close to a matchlock. There are quite a lot of restrictions.

A knight’s iron armor could be pierced, but a body trained with mana would be difficult to pierce. It will be difficult unless you have a machine gun.

“You’re right. It’s hard to beat a knight with the current guns. But you know how valuable a knight is, right?”

“You know… Wait a minute. Did you read my thoughts?”

“Isn’t it deprived of divinity? Anyway, it’s impossible for an ordinary soldier to block a gun, and in the end, a knight has to step in and solve it. But anyone can shoot a gun once they learn it, right?”

That’s why the gun ended the age of knights. Anyone can handle it easily, but its destructive power is stronger than that of a bow.

Of course, I had a lot of problems in the beginning, so I didn’t finish it completely. They were accompanied by pikemen to prevent being swept away by the cavalry.

However, there is an ‘exchange cost’ in war. It is to determine the rate at which the forces of both sides were exchanged.

As Mora said, if a knight had to step up to subdue a soldier with a gun, that alone would be an overwhelming exchange cost.

‘Because a single article costs hundreds of millions of won.’

A knight’s power alone is comparable to a tank, but ironically, it cannot be used as if it were thrown. The answer comes from the cost of training alone.

It means that there is no choice but to replace the regular soldiers somehow. The moment the article is added, the power of the Minerva Empire will suffer a great loss.

It may be a bit of a leap in observation, but history proves it. A gun is a weapon suitable for the ‘strongest’.

“Other countries are showing interest after seeing that the Minerva Empire is struggling unexpectedly. Who will be a reliable ally for Starbirk?”

“Ters Kingdom?”

“Answer. As you may have seen, the agreement presented by the Empire first has a lot of irrational parts. The Kingdom of Terse will participate in the war as a justification for this. Even if only knights were supported, the future for the Minerva Empire would have been bleak.”

I could understand it because I had read the first agreement. Looking at it objectively, it was an agreement that reached the extreme of absurdity.

At the time, I was in the position of a third party, so I laughed and passed on, but if other countries saw it, they would have defended Starbirk saying, ‘This is a bit…’.

“Like that, the kingdom of Terse will send envoys to other countries while eating away at the national power of the empire. Let’s thoroughly isolate the Minerva Empire. The Minerva Empire will also make an agreement with Makina to prevent that.”

“What about Helium and Albenheim?”

“Those two countries do not directly collide. Since they are built around you, they will only notice. Besides, there are your brothers in the empire, right? Even because of this, they will only issue a statement of criticism, and will not come forward directly.”

Lastly, I finished the explanation that Savior would be neutral and the Animas would attack the Minerva Empire. It’s so complicated that I wonder if this is really possible.

At that level, no one would have listened to me even if I stepped out. On the contrary, defending the empire may have faced a tremendous backwind.

“I heard there was a similar war in your world? Not in the past, but right before you came over.”

“······Are you talking about Russia and Ukraine? At least that war didn’t turn into a world war.”

“It’s because of the weapon that will destroy mankind. If it wasn’t for that, it would have gone the same way?”

“··· ···”

I’m running out of things to say when I say that. It is similar for a strong country to struggle against a country that it thought was relatively weak.

The difference is that the Minerva Empire is actually very powerful, unlike Russia, which is just a facade.

Moreover, unlike Russia, it is not easy to collapse because it gradually realizes the importance of supply.

Anyway, I couldn’t believe that it was an event that had completely disappeared, in other words, it almost existed.

“You don’t have to believe it. Just like you thought, it’s a fate that has completely disappeared. From the beginning, the Minerva Empire and the Terse Kingdom were dog-dogs, and the Animas had to solve the territorial issue. Helium is an opportunity to increase their influence, but Alvenheim’s He’ll notice. Albenheim also has to keep Helium in check, so he won’t do anything. Dangerous elements are here and there.”

“Then why did you stop it? Is it because you are the goddess of peace?”

“Something like that, but you’re going to be the most embarrassed. You know what I mean?”

I know well. If the situation went as Mora said, I would be the most embarrassed.

I’d like to intervene somehow, but the Empire was the first to bully me. Everyone would be amazed if they saw the text of the agreement.

Of course, the Empire can also be excused that it was scheduled to be modified later under mutual agreement. The problem is that Asala is not someone to keep an eye on.

In the end, one bullet becomes the fuse and sets the whole world on fire. It’s not a problem that I can do even if I bring a fire engine.

“I understand. If it’s fortunate, it’s fortunate. For Starbirk, it’s like holding the bomb yourself. But then, the fact that he acted recklessly earlier…”

“You know that my brother is a god of war, right?”

Everyone knows. At first, I wondered what kind of war god was such a gentle person.

But after meeting Luminus in person, my thoughts changed. He had muscles that could literally tear a person apart.

“Originally, my brother would have gained enormous divinity. If the war broke out, my brother would have benefited the most.”

“You have overturned a well-prepared table.”

“Uh… I’m so good at summarizing that I have nothing to say. That’s right. That’s it. That’s why my brother took away a huge amount of holy power and became like this.”

Mora scratched her head, laughing like her immature child. Looking at her, I let out a sigh inside her.

I understand, but even if it were me, I would kick you out of the house. A delicious meal was prepared in front of her eyes, but Mora turned it all upside down.

In return, it seems that he was deprived of a huge amount of holy power and eventually banished. The reason why the divinity is maintained is probably because only the divine power was taken away.

“Then what about Mora’s followers? How do you supply divine power?”

“Don’t worry. Even if you can’t make a prophecy, the divine power will be supplied. Only the main body was banished, and my divinity still belongs to that dimension. You can think of it as a feeling like a brain and a heart.”

“I don’t know what you mean, but I’ll figure it out.”

It seems to be a concept like an alter ego. Then, is it possible for Luminous to manifest directly?

“That’s not possible. As long as the divinity exists, the divine power won’t disappear. Unless you’ve paid the price like I did. Even this will naturally recover.”

“It’s still complicated. How long have you been here?”

“It won’t take long. Maybe…”

Mora thought for a moment, then she looked at me and said carefully.

“······About 1 year after catching plenty?”

“··· ···”

“Whoa, originally the war was supposed to last for two years! My brother knew you would be in trouble and did his best!”

Mora wriggled her hands and made an awkward excuse. She really doubted whether she was God.

I gave Mora a pitiful look and nodded her head. Still, what can I say that I sacrificed my body for peace.

I don’t have to leave the mansion anyway, and I just need to explain it to the people around me. I don’t know if the family will believe in Mora’s existence.

“Anyway, the reason why I went there is because I can change the future, right?”

“Oh, yes…”

“Didn’t the gods of Earth protest?”

“I warned you not to do this again. They respect free will. They would rather use you to twist their fate than risk you.”

Since they actually value the free will of mortals more, Mora’s methods probably didn’t like her.

Still, it’s clear that they are quite decent people, given that they only gave warnings.

“Anyway, Maura, will you be staying here?”

“Isn’t that so? But I won’t just eat rice. Not only do I have a healthy body like you, but I also have a healthy mind.”

“Then…”

I was speechless for a moment. Because all of a sudden a good idea came to my mind.

Morado was dumbfounded as if he had read my thoughts, then smiled and said.

“Are you so curious about our past?”

“Of course I’m curious. Can you help me?”

“Okay. That’s fine. Is that enough?”

“If you don’t want to waste rice, please help me with the housework. You’re strong, so you’re good at doing the laundry, right?”

“······It’s too much.”

In this way, around the time a (Ying) goddess was added to our mansion.

[Savior. All preparations are complete.]

A very ominous statement appeared in the newspaper.
