185 – 36. Proof
Prove that you are ‘God’.
The first to react to those words was not the former god, but Cardinal Carlella.
“I, Namgoong Min! What is that…!!”
“Isn’t that right? Let me ask the people here. Can only God sit in that seat? To put it bluntly, even a child could sit there if he would just get up there.”
“Such profanity!”
“It’s blasphemy and all, but the greatest blasphemy is that author. What if that being is not God? Then you’ve deceived the Holy Father, the three cardinals, and the saints and saints.”
“……………….”
Is it because, unlike those who are far from religious in many ways, they still maintain their religious beliefs?
Carleya, who had reacted violently, also closed her mouth with shaking eyes.
Okay, I’m not just claiming that that guy isn’t God.
All we ask is that you provide proof in accordance with the location of the proof room.
And the former god seemed quite displeased with that remark.
“It looked ridiculous. But isn’t this an opportunity? Popes, cardinals, saints, and saints are all gathered here. If you could prove your status here, what you would gain would be considerable. As a bonus, I would also be accused of blasphemy. “I could cut it up.”
“That’s what you asked the saint to do. If you casually denied the saint’s self-proof, shouldn’t you be ready to prove it yourself?”
“Why do I forgive?”
＜…… What?＞
“This is the proof room, and according to what you claim, it is a space you created yourself. If you are truly a god, shouldn’t you give this unholy being at least a small punishment? If you are planning to make me shed tears for your generosity, it would be better to strike it down long ago. I can see it.”
＜……… ….＞
“Why can’t you do it? Because he’s not actually a god? Because he’s just a guy who pretends to be a god?”
To my former God, how do I look now? First of all, it will definitely not be a friendly view.
Me and former Shin already know each other. Although it makes me grit my teeth to think about the hardship Jisoo went through because of that bastard, the fact that he is a former god in itself is an objective fact.
But that only applies to me.
What does everyone in this room think of the top echelon of the church that supposedly serves God?
Seeing a self-proclaimed god who is provoked by humans, who are mere creatures, gets angry, and does not even punish them.
What are you thinking?
＜…… Proof?＞
“You just have to do what the saint did.”
“I brought it up, so I should speak first.”
Tap.
He speaks with a smile while glaring at the lump of crack that looks uncomfortable.
“First, punish me.”
＜…… What?＞
“It’s simple, isn’t it? Punish me, either by throwing lightning at me or cutting off my arm.”
“Hmm?”
…… Hmm, I’m a little annoyed that this guy mentioned Jisoo.
The word ‘misfortune’ is used ambiguously and it is said that punishment will come later anyway.
However, it seemed clear that the former god was more upset, so he accepted it as is.
“That’s not enough.”
“Right now, do something to me. Burn me with fire, be struck by lightning, cut off my limbs, crucify me, do anything.”
＜……… Although you may be arrogant, you are also my son and daughter.＞
“If anything happens, you can just save them, right? They’re an omnipotent god. It’s impossible to punish them and bring them back to life right here, but that doesn’t mean it’s possible to say that misfortune will come later, right?”
＜……… ….＞
“Okay, since the self-proclaimed God doesn’t want to harm creation, I’ll just wait for the misfortune to come later.”
It is okay for a son or daughter to suffer misfortune later, but it is a contradiction that it is not okay for a son or daughter to be punished here.
As the first proof began to be ambiguous, even Carlella’s gaze changed strangely.
Taking advantage of that atmosphere, she continues her words.
“The second one.”
“You couldn’t prove it. Or should you try something like Like a saint? If you had punished me earlier, the proof would have been completed right away, but it’s a shame.”
＜……… ….＞
“You’re staring at me even though you’re full of cracks? That’s scary. Anyway, for the second time… Show your holiness.”
“Is that so? If he is God, then of course he is the pinnacle of sanctity and the original itself. Isn’t that the simplest proof?”
The former god, who seemed quite angry, waved his crack-covered hand, and warm light and warmth poured out from there.
A ‘divineness’ similar to what Saint and Eileen exuded a while ago.
‘As expected, even though he was usurped by Jisoo, he is not completely helpless.’
I guessed it from the time he interfered with me in various places and whispered about the future, but it seems like he can only show sanctity.
Of course.
I didn’t bring this up to confirm that.
“Is this the end?”
“There is no one here who can’t show that level of holiness. Except me, of course. If you’re a god, you have to show a much more overwhelming holiness, right?”
＜……… ….＞
It wasn’t wrong. Because the sanctity shown by the former god right now was insufficient compared to the Of the saint or Eileen.
Unlike those who filled the room of proof, there were many things the former gods showed, but only that much sanctity.
In fact, the doubts in the eyes of the pope, cardinals, saints, and saints who knew about the fact even before I poked fun at it were gradually growing.
‘No matter how it went, it was a good thing.’
What if the former god shows truly overwhelming divinity? Just pull up the proof from earlier, say it’s 1 to 1, and move on.
What if I can’t show my holiness? Of course it’s the best.
What if it is shown, but to a vague degree? It can be pushed into instigation like it is now.
Oh, it is possible to show overwhelming holiness after being incited.
“Do you really need time? After all, if you call yourself a god, you need something like a cooldown, right?”
“Okay, then number three.”
There is no problem if it goes away naturally after gently scratching the inside.
Now that he has declared himself a god, even if he finally shows his divinity, it lacks the dignity of a god.
He may be a god with an easy-going personality, but he reigns over creation and always wants to have the upper hand. I know how to deal with a guy like that.
‘God? God…….’
Rather, the response of former gods was not much different from that of humans.
A person who is extremely arrogant, has high self-esteem, and does not even think about defeat.
What do these people have in common?
‘Not giving up your pride even if you lack ability.’
This is a behavior often seen by failed businessmen and expelled politicians.
If you look at the former god, he was usurped by Ji Soo and lives off of such cracks.
This means that he is a ‘former’ god, not a ‘current’ god.
A guy like that appears in the proof room and acts like he’s still a god.

‘Well, it’s not like I can’t understand it at all.’
Prove to me that the ants are suddenly human! If this happens, you’ll wonder what kind of bullsh*t it is.
Ant is an ant and a person is a person. Likewise, God is simply God.
As if to prove it, the guy who was always relaxed when I talked to him all of a sudden suddenly got angry and started running towards me.
If there is just one problem.
It fell to a level slightly higher than that of ants, which would normally kill a person by stepping on it.
“The third one is simple….”
“Huh? That name just now──”
“That doesn’t matter at all, I’m going to shuffle the cards now. I’ll draw one from there, so you just have to guess what it is. With this, there’s no need to hurt your son or daughter, it’s simple, right?”
＜…… You are truly arrogant. Do you really think I can’t even do that?＞
“I’m doing this because I don’t think I can do it. I’ve already failed the proof twice, right?”
Okay. Okay. Okay.
With your job skill, hold the cards that appear in the air and shuffle them.
Actually, it’s even weirder that I can’t do this. Even if you have a decent combat profession right now, you will be able to guess the cards just by looking at the shuffle.
Even more so when it comes to a guy called God.
But.
“”
＜…… !＞
Summer vacation, when I was surprised at Liu’s mansion.
At that time, he erased my memory of meeting him, but he could not erase the ‘questions’ I had left about my job skills.
One hypothesis there.
‘Couldn’t I be involved in job skills?’
What if I could interfere? Does not matter. Because it is a simple task in the first place, I deliberately chose tasks that I thought could be done ‘of course’.
Just say 2 to 1 and move on.
But what if you can’t interfere?
Sureuk.
“Now, I drew a card. What is this…?”
＜……… ….＞
Does this guy know that the fact that a guy called God doesn’t answer right away and is cautious about even simple things like this is a fact that can be suspicious?
I would have known it normally, but what if I have scratched his pride and insides with all kinds of words?
And──
＜…… Major Arcana number 4, the emperor.＞
“Okay, then let’s turn it over.”
──What if something goes wrong?
[Job skill Completed!
Divination content:
Progress of divination:
Result of divination: Self-proclaimed God does not exist. The being before your eyes may be usurped, but it is still God.
Probability of the result of fortune telling being carried out as is: 24% (basic 15% + 7% using tarot cards + 2% fortune teller’s gloves bonus)]
Only you can see the results of your job skills.
So what everyone here can see.
＜…… What?＞
Not the [Emperor] That the previous god had declared, but only the [Wheel of Fortune].
It was as expected.
‘The fortune telling skill may result in something that wasn’t on the original card, or the card may change.’
It was the same when fortune-telling Wang Fei, and it was the same when fortune-telling Eileen.
This guy’s job skills do not follow normal rules.
So I used that.
‘If you ask a question that includes the word self-proclaimed god, the result will be different no matter what card was drawn.’
As the job skill explains, there is no such thing as a self-proclaimed god.
The guy in front of me has a former job, but he is a god.
But paradoxically, because of that.
The former god failed to prove it.
‘The card drawn must have really been [Emperor].’
It’s just that he couldn’t interfere with job skills.
“Is there really a need for a fourth?”
＜……… !＞
“I failed in all three proofs. I couldn’t show God’s wrath to me, I couldn’t show him God’s sanctity, and much less could I even guess such a simple card.”
＜…………….＞
“Is God right? The decision… Is up to you.”
Because I am not qualified to evaluate proof.
I was just waiting for everyone’s choice.
Although there was some hesitation, everyone’s answer was the same.
“Then…0 In favor, 6 against.”
＜……… ….＞
“As a result of the proof, you failed to prove that you are a god.”
Wow!
Carleya was in doubt, the saint who cried out that it was not God, and Eileen who was full of disbelief from the beginning.
Even though Cassandra and Skoll may lack religious faith, they don’t seem to sit idly by and ignore the blasphemy of self-proclaimed gods. The Pope also had a kind smile from beginning to end.
Everyone takes out their weapons and opposes the self-proclaimed god in their own way.
The sight of him being threatened by the creature he was looking down on.
The sight of the former god’s pride being torn away, showing his incompetence.
It’s so refreshing.
“Then… Self-proclaimed god, should we go to the torture room? Arthur over there does amazing torture.”
＜……… Bastard.＞
“Is there anyone else who knows how to do it? That’s boring.”
It’s truly been a long time…… I was able to laugh sincerely.
