Episode 30-Bet
While Lempria and Kali Moses strongly argued for each other’s ideas, the gods did not stand still.
“Nice to meet you.”
“Are you Astia?”
Thanks to the god’s ability to go anywhere with followers who believe in him without physical restrictions, Lemp was able to come to the imperial palace in the center of the city of Astia.
“That’s right. I am Astia. I am a person who is worshiped as the god of the stars.”
Astia was truly a god full of grace.
Every tone of voice was full of luxury.
If you met on Earth, you might have been intimidated by the unknown aura, but this wasn’t Earth.
It was a world where everything was decided by faith.
There was no reason for Lemfra to lose.
“There are so many gods.”
Lemfra looked around and saw several gods looking at her.
Since he came out here, the gods of other villages who have visited Astia have been wary of him, but each one of them seems inferior to Alfre, who is called the slave god, let alone the highest gods like Eria and Ifritia. Didn’t take any of this.
“Because there are so many people. There are so many gods, so we couldn’t unify them into one myth.”
Astia’s horse was full of grace, but at the same time she had a sharp thorn.
“I guess I was able to unify it into one myth because there were few villages?”
“Isn’t it? From the reactions of your followers, it sounds like you’re from a much smaller place than here.”
Astia smiled.
Is it just like that when nobles smile?
It was a classy and beautiful smile, but it was a smile that clearly looked down on the other person.
“God is not even as good as humans.”
Kali Moses inferred from the weapons she had and the clothes she was wearing that Lempria came from a place where she was never inferior to her own forces.
Even the believers, who did not know what bronze was, kept Lempria in check. She did not know how different the civilizations of the women from Earth were.
“So, do you think you can beat my followers?”
“Of course. I don’t think we will be broken by Shinhwa who doesn’t share the roles of humans.”
To call human class a human role?
‘What kind of country did you live in?’
“A man must have a rank. Without an explicit rank, he will not be able to obey his superiors, which will reduce the productivity of the entire civilization ..”
“Are you from the Middle Ages, or from an area where there are still classes?”
I think I’ve heard that there are nominally some classes left in places like India, but no matter how much I looked at Astia, she didn’t look like an Indian.
“And that’s all an excuse. Why do humans have to obey humans? It seems like you won’t be able to subjugate all humans, so aren’t you dividing the class into ruling? Oh, that’s right. It’s an impossible polytheistic religion? Then it could be. You can’t make humans obey the supreme god, so humans are made to obey each other. Okay, I understand.”
As Lemfra spoke in a very exaggerated tone, Astia’s face turned red.
She was Astia, who involuntarily became so angry that her face burned, but she did not show it.
“Time will tell who is right.”
“In my opinion, we win unconditionally.”
Lempra already remembered all the scenes Lempria had seen.
The empire had a very wide and high-quality plain, but there was no place where copper came out around it.
If there was, someone would have developed it a long time ago, causing a coup d’état or paying tribute.
And there is no solidarity.
Lempria didn’t seem to be paying attention because she didn’t pay much attention to it, but she saw two people of different faiths fighting each other.
Astia must have been recognized by everyone as the supreme god, but was she really recognized by all other gods?
And was Astia recognized as the true supreme god?
Of course, it was a problem that would all be solved with time.
Astia will solidify its dominance and be reborn as the supreme god, and as myths merge and emerge, the legends of each god will accumulate.
‘But it’s not enough right now.’
It is unlikely that they will be able to overcome an army united in the name of Lemfra.
“You have to see how long or short it is. I’m willing to go to war if you want.”
“I don’t even have to go to war with you. I’ll completely destroy your mythology with just the three humans I brought.”
“Are you saying we’re going to have a culture fight? Just three people?”
“It’s a fight of faith.”
“Okay. Let’s face it. If you win, we’ll give you a chance to melt into our mythology. If we win, the three humans who appear to be your apostles will die.”
Three humans and one myth.
One side was overwhelmingly heavy values to put on the same line, but Astia had no confidence in losing.
“Yes, if I lose, it doesn’t matter what I do to Lempria, Imp, and Alprea.”
[Listen to Callimose. Do you remember when I said that an important fate would come to you?]
Yes, I remember. My god
I couldn’t see Kali Moses, but I thought he might have answered like this.
[The three people who came to you are your destiny. They are the destroyers who have come to destroy our mythology. But you don’t have to do anything. If you go to each village and prevent heretics from rampaging, they will collapse without doing anything.]
What an arrogant decision.
If you don’t desperately run to stop it, you don’t have to do anything in case your myth might collapse?
‘You must have great pride.’
It was a very good thing for Lemfra.
“I won’t touch your apostles for just one year. If your apostles don’t make any significant progress during that time, I’ll have to offer up three of your strongest followers to me.”
“Okay. I promise I won’t bring you down by force.”
[Lempria, I wanted to play a game.]
Astia’s expression rotted at Lemfra’s words.
[I want to color this empire with my myth, so from now on, follow my words.]
“I see. Lord Lemfra.”
[Go down south for now.]
Lempria stood up and looked south.
She got up abruptly, and the Imp and Al Frea also got up and followed her.
“We go down south.”
“Weren’t you waiting for the prince?”
“This is Lemfra’s order. We are going down south.”
Lempria walked towards the south.
Alprea followed Lempria without any hesitation, and the imp looked at the palace for a while and then followed his sister.
[The use of force is strictly prohibited while roaming the empire.]
‘Okay. Lord Lemfra.’
Thus began the conquest of the southern empire, which will occupy the largest part in the legend of Lempria.
*******
Dana.
She was a god called the goddess of the earth in the empire.
She alone is in charge of a very wide area called the land, but she is a very weak god.
The reason why the goddess who monopolizes one concept without overlapping gods is evaluated as a medicine god. Worse, there were not many people who truly believed in Dana because it was explained as a myth that the goddess of the earth was weakening the earth by envying the god of the stars.
Her genius came to Dana, who felt insecure that even her own children were leaving her and felt insecure.
[Oh. Can you hear it?]
“Did you call, Dana-sama!”
The little girl jumped up at the sound of the goddess coming from her ears.
Since Dana was such a small god, she could hear her voice for the first time in a really long time, and her girl was so happy that her own goddess was calling her, and she smiled. There was.
[I came to know my true existence.]
Suddenly, what do you mean by this?
She was rambling enough to ask what she was talking about if Dana wasn’t the god she worshiped, but the girl kept her mouth shut and waited for what she would say next.
[I am the goddess of the earth and a fragment of Lemfra, the omniscient creator god.]
‘Who is Lemfra?’
Wasn’t the supreme god Astia, the god of the stars?
Her Dana went on to say to her that she had her doubts.
[The details will be told by three people who will visit our village in the future.]

After hearing her words, I went out of town and saw three people walking from afar.
