342. There is nothing special about God
Honestly, I didn’t have any expectations.
Look at Geum Yeo-myeong’s identity and way of life.
Even if mice and birds disappear without anyone noticing, no one will know.
There is nothing left of honor.
There is a strong possibility that a crime was committed during the process of collecting swords. However, I wouldn’t have been caught. Even the ‘dark spirit’ of the East who was looking for the collector had no information about him.
A complete madman.
Geum Yeom-myeong was, at least by my standards, a ‘human being without a back’.
There is no way such a person would have a ‘weakness’.
It was very likely that there were no direct descendants left, and even if there were, it seemed unlikely that blood relations would be considered important.
Furthermore, I am confident that there will be no need to start a family in the future.
How do you think he would have reacted when I asked him for his weaknesses?
‘Won’t you give me time? Give me just one day and I’ll bring you a weakness that will make you feel at ease.’
Surprisingly, she readily accepted with a confident smile.
I don’t know what kind of plan she had, but she left Volk there for now. It seemed like she had no intention of engaging in a chase with Lycan Slope. He probably knows Volk well.
It was the morning of the last day of vacation.
I left Sierra at the dormitory under the pretext of going for a walk and went out early to find an inconspicuous store located deep in an alley.
It was early, so let alone getting ready for business, the store door wasn’t even open, so I was sitting in front of the entrance, leaning my head against the wall, growing increasingly bored.
“What? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen your face.”
As he was coming up the stairs, he saw me and narrowed his eyes.
“You’re late. A person of your caliber should have known I would come.”
The man who was laughing at my grumbling was ‘Loki’, the god of Earth.
“I’ve told you many times, but I’m just an ordinary human now. Let’s go in for now.”
The store door opens and Loki takes off his coat and roughly throws it on the chair.
“Would you like some coffee?”
“No. I’m just planning to talk for a bit, so it’s okay.”
“Pretend to be busy.”
Soon, Loki brews a cup of coffee and sits down on the chair across from him with a hot cup.
“I heard you came back from the East. But I didn’t know you would come looking for me. What’s going on?”
Loki has not even started talking, but he is already raising the corners of his mouth as if he is interested.

I confessed my concerns that only I could solve.
“How do I send a reply to this?”
“…Reply? Oh, you really mean ‘that’?”
“Messages are being sent even at this very moment.”
I pointed to the messenger on one side of the status window.
[ Heneris sent you a gift. ]
[Deleted message. ]
[ …… ]
[Why aren’t you answering? ]
There, Heneris was persistently demanding an answer.
“Puhahahahaha!!”
Then Loki suddenly bursts into laughter.
His mischievous laughter fills the store.
“It’s not something to laugh about. If you continue like this, you might really get punished.”
“…It wouldn’t be strange if I received heavenly punishment.”
Loki whined, looked at me, wiped away his tears, and then asked me.
“Honestly, I’m disappointed. This guy who was said to be a saint in his past life couldn’t find this simple answer.”
“What will be added if I attach even a simple manual?”
“Tsk, you too… What do you think of communication with God?”
Finally, Loki, who had been clucking his tongue, asked me that question.
“Communication with God… No way…”
“The answer is fixed. The movements may vary slightly depending on the faith, but for the most part, the actions are similar.”
“…Prayer.”
While listening to Loki’s explanation, I quietly muttered the words that came to my mind.
Why didn’t I think of that?
It is truly a conversation with God.
I immediately put my hands together in a reverential posture and quietly spoke out what I wanted to say to Heneris.
‘Heneris?’
[ …You finally give an answer. Was he angry after all? ]
‘No, that’s…’
As I hurriedly took his hand away, Loki, who was looking at me, opened his mouth.
“Has a reply been sent now?”
“Heneris is also a god. Aren’t you watching this too?”
“Even a god is not omnipotent and omnipotent. This is especially true for Heneris, who divides the world from Helgenas. Revelation must be seen as a kind of intervention, so a small amount of godhood is consumed.”
“Ah…”
So, I’ve been sending you a reply for a while now, so does that mean I’ve been consuming my Godhead all this time?
“You won’t go bankrupt, right?”
“As for divinity, the amount of recovery increases as the number of believers increases, so it doesn’t have much of an effect. In my case, all the believers who would serve me have died, so my divinity can no longer be restored.”
“……”
Anyway, it doesn’t seem like they can send me a message and observe me at the same time. If you want to know why someone is not answering, you can just look at what they are doing, but it is said that looking at a single human being is quite a drain on the deity unless they are a saint or a saint who is an apostle of God.
“It is possible to see the overall picture, but it is difficult to get closer.”
I couldn’t quite understand Loki’s explanation, so I tilted my head. I didn’t want to know about the inconveniences experienced by divine beings.
I had a conversation with Heneris, who had been waiting for me ever since.
The question that ultimately came out was why this function was created. It wasn’t a question worth asking the god I was serving, but I couldn’t help but be curious.
Heneris, who sent the message after a pause, replied that she just wanted to communicate occasionally.
As a bonus, if you have any questions, I wonder if you can let me know.
So I started asking questions.
The first thing I asked about was the existence of Saint Michael.
[ That’s a nostalgic name. 🙂 ]
‘What kind of person was he?’
[ Well. If I were to be honest, he might be the person most similar to you now. That’s because the environments they grew up in were quite similar. ]
‘He must have had powers, right?’
[There was. ]
‘What kind of power could it have been?’
[ I think it would be difficult to tell you that. ]
‘There was no record.’
[ That too… ]
‘…I understand.’
In response to her answer, I stopped praying and asked Rocky, who crossed his legs and took a sip of coffee.
“…Do gods also experience loneliness?”
“He doesn’t suffer from loneliness. I wouldn’t know it if he were a god who was rejected by humans.”
“I see.”
“But I don’t understand why they created that function?”
“It’s different from what I thought.”
“It may be because I simply care about you, but in the end, it is a ‘revelation’, right? There will come a time when it will be useful.”
Loki had a point.
In the end, the name of the skill was ‘God’s Revelation’, and it was not an all-purpose search bar where you could search for anything you were curious about.
In the end, it was difficult to get a meaningful answer from Heneris, who could not intervene much in this land.
As a result, trivial questions naturally arise.
‘Heneris, I have a question.’
[What is it? ]
‘Could you tell me why the profile picture has a white background?’
[ White background? ]
[ Ah… Ah… I didn’t turn off the halo… ]
[Why are you telling me now…?! ]
After listening to the explanation, it seems like the ‘halo’ is something that can be turned on and off like a light. Soon after, Heneris’ profile picture changes.
[What do you think? You can see it clearly now, right? ]
Where the profile picture was, there was a picture that appeared to be Heneris’ ‘selfie’.
Flawless, white skin that does not appear to be human.
Green, vibrant hair that seems reminiscent of the World Tree.
Even the generous eyes and smile of a goddess.
Heneris had the same attire on her face as when she had met her once.
I don’t know what they used to take the picture, but it seems like they also have something strange about their cell phones. What could be impossible for a goddess?
[ Would you like to update your profile picture too? I miss you. ]
‘I don’t know how to take pictures. There’s no camera, right?’
[Ask Loki. ]
‘It’s right in front of me, but…’
When I took my hands off again, Loki asked a question first.
“Why?”
“Well… He wants me to take a picture…”
As I spoke, I scratched my cheek, wondering if this was true.
“…Crazy b*tch.”
In response to my hesitant answer, Loki stopped drinking his coffee and clicked his tongue and cursed.
“Yes?”
“That’s okay. I just need to take a picture of you as is, right?”
“That would be enough.”
“……”
Soon, Loki stared at me, blinked a few times, and opened his mouth as if he had finished quickly.
“…It’s done.”
Following his slightly irritated voice, a large number of messages from Heneris pour in.
[ It’s nice to see. ]
[ After all, the person is clear. ]
[ However, I think the photo was taken too roughly. I don’t think I captured it properly. ]
[ Hmm… ]
Heneris muttered to herself and then became speechless.
He didn’t think he had anything else to ask Loki for, so he greeted him.
“I’ll just go now. I’m sorry for not stopping by often.”
“It’s okay. I’m glad that something interesting is going to happen.”
“It’s fun?”
“The world line changed this time. Isn’t that what you did? I added the function in advance, but I didn’t expect it to change so quickly.”
“So, did Loki prepare that quest as well?”
“No, that’s what the manager does.”
Loki waving his hands.
“Administrator…?”
“There’s nothing to know too deeply. Even if humans don’t know, it’s a good story.”
“I’ll go for now. I’ll bring my younger siblings to see you next time.”

“Okay. I’ll be waiting.”
I left the store with Loki seeing me off.
Anyway, why didn’t I think of the answer as ‘prayer’? Anyway, it was nice that I didn’t have to worry about other people’s opinions when replying to Heneris.
‘I may seem like a devout believer to others.’

Goddess Heneris was looking at a photo while giggling.
It was a photo of a black-haired young man with a white bandage over his eye, sitting in her chair.
“The composition is disappointing, but no matter how I shot it, it turned out well.”
Heneris, who was looking at her photo with a satisfied smile, soon manipulated her small sphere and the screen she was looking at changed.
There were various words written on the screen.
[Please help the hero not be reincarnated after being subjected to NTR. ]
[ The Orc becomes the Demon King. Hara is not invading and is just breeding all the time. What should I do? ]
The place where many texts were written asking for help in ruling the world was a kind of ‘community’ where gods from various world lines gathered.
Heneris clicked ‘Write’ on one side of the screen, attached the photo she was looking at earlier, and then slowly started writing.
“Huh.”
Heneris never stops smiling even as she writes. It seems she felt good just imagining the reaction to a post she hadn’t even posted yet.
Meanwhile, Loki, who was sitting on the sofa savoring coffee after sending Zeto away, looked through the community as is his habit and inadvertently clicked on an article with the strange title that had just been posted, ‘Proud of Creation.’
[Photo]
[ My favorite creature with a lot of stories. ]
In the post, there was a photo of ‘Jeto’ that he had taken earlier.
“I knew it would be like this. Crazy b*tch…”
Loki mumbles a curse word while reading.
He immediately scrolled down and looked at the comments.
[ Even though his eyes are covered, his handsome features can be seen through. ]
[ How to make it? Please share. ]
[ ㄴ It is not made directly, but is purely natural. ]
[ Well, take off the eye patch. ]
[ Wow… Taking down my panties… ]
[ It’s ugly. ]
[ Go away. hahahaha you crazy b*tch. ]
[ ㄴ ㅎㄱㄴㅅ Isn’t it? ]
[ ㄴ I see the same world address, but what else is wrong? ]
[ Are these guys fighting again… ]
Loki felt dizzy after reading the comments and put the community window out of sight.
In the past, he also used to post many articles on the community. But although he can now look, he cannot post or comment.
This is because it also consumes his divinity.
Loki, who was looking blankly at the inside of the store, muttered a little with the regret that made his mouth feel bitter.
“I should have taken sword and magic skills like everyone else… Why did you choose science…?”
Even if you regret it now, the world that has already been destroyed will not return.
They got their own forums.
