181 – The 4th Goddess
In the past, when 12 ministers still held the absolute priesthood.
In this underworld, several indigenous beliefs were unfolding.
The time when gods who were recognized for life only through faith were born one by one, not the direct descendants of the first god, who should have only 12 originally.
The four goddesses had one dream.
I want to ascend to the seat of the gods in the sky.
It was not the 12 gods, but they also wanted to have absolute authority like those gods, and even if they didn’t want other humans to praise them, they wanted humans to believe in them and build up their rank.
So the four goddesses thought.
Is there no way to bring down the lofty gods sitting on the throne?
Or is there any way to make their own seats among those 12 seats?
If it was just a thought, it was something that the gods created by other faiths also thought about, but the four goddesses did not stop thinking.
“Kyaaac!!”
“What are you doing, you bastard!”
Those who were called the goddess of loving-kindness made humans suffer.
The Goddess of Benevolence did not connect pure love where it should be connected, but made taboo love that should not be woven into fruition.
After a family is born,
It was really simple to break that assumption.
First men and women. Of the two, choose the one that lacks a little more affection and make the other person have an affair with a person they hate.
If there is a woman who has been waiting for a man who has been far away, the man made him fall in love with women with looks and personalities that no one can match.
If he had a child, that child made her fall in love with the child of the man she hated.
The woman who was left alone like that faced more and more miserable endings.
Ordinary men in some places.
In some places, a hero of the day.
In some places, a woman who loved her children more than anyone else.
The more deaths occurred at the whim of the goddess without being able to enjoy the original lifespan, the fewer children were born and the more people died, but the gods in the sky did not pay attention to them except for a few.
Even that interest, except for the goddess of the hearth and the family with a tender heart, I didn’t even care… The goddesses committed even more radical things.
Next, in the turn of the Goddess of Betrayal, the trust of humans disappeared.
It became impossible to trust anyone. Betrayal has become a matter of course, entrusting money to someone has become impossible even among family members, and the number of humans has decreased even more as it is impossible to trust and love someone even when it comes to sharing affection. And among them, there were ungodly people who did not even believe in God.
It was only then that the attention of various gods was attracted… It is still far away.
Next, the Goddess of Yu-hee did a great job.
It’s a whole game of a newly created kingdom.
It also started a death game.
“Now, let’s start the game!!”
He slaughtered thousands of people through various games while sitting on the throne.
If he had just slaughtered them, his faith in God would have disappeared and he would not have been able to sustain life any longer, but the Goddess of Play saved half of the kingdom’s people and handed over a whopping 10 million gold to each person, saying,
“Look forward to the next game again!”
After that, people started praying to the goddess of amusement.
If you don’t die, the chance to make a fortune will come down. Besides, the odds of dying are only half and half.
There were no monsters in ancient times, but humans had no magical powers, so even killing an animal was impossible unless you were a professional hunter. However, if you are lucky enough to survive the game, you will have a lot of money left over even if three generations spend it recklessly.
Rather, their faith in the goddess became firm, and the humans who had the confidence to survive continued to pray for such an opportunity for themselves.
Faith in the goddess spread through word of mouth, and as the faith of other gods weakened, all the gods paid attention, and some gods tried to kill the four goddesses by giving oracles… Due to the actions of the last goddess, the 12 main gods fell.
Rachel, the pure white goddess, is the first thing people who want life, not death, look for.
She was kind to everyone and stretched out her hand to everyone, but… … I spread a flattering rumor.
“The 12 gods have punished us native gods, so we can no longer heal you… really sorry.”
From the beginning, the humans who had accumulated status, not magical power, in the words of Rachel, who had the most faith among the four goddesses, rebelled against the gods.
The first target is the goddess of the hearth and home, the least worshiped and least worshiped.
Hestia.
Her throne quickly became vacant.
The reason is not death, but because the person who worships her has disappeared, and there is no reason to sit there anymore… She was cast out of the throne.
Dropped a goddess.
With 4 indigenous people!!
The four goddesses were delighted, but when one of them was deprived of the throne, the other gods slaughtered humans regardless of the penalty that came down from the heavens to the underworld.
Artemis, the goddess of the moon and the hunt.
Apollo, god of the sun and music.
Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty.
The three gods and goddesses descended, devastated the earth, and killed humans, instilling fear and awe in them.
After that, the young gods thought that humans would no longer look down on them.
They were warriors, never communicated directly with humans, and never used their wisdom to survive.
Because they were young gods who were still only old.
“They are no longer gods!!!”
“Kill them!!!!!”
“What we will worship no longer is the pure white goddess Rachel, not the 12 main deities!!!!”
Humans were not terrified.
Rather, even if they die, they step on their corpses, stand up and shed tears of grief, but hold their swords again so that their deaths will not be in vain.
Let’s wipe out the false gods!!
They are no longer gods!!
Words like that spread all over the continent, and the goddess of love, the goddess of treachery, and the goddess of amusement, who helped kill humans, put more effort into helping humans to corrupt the gods above than killing them.
And even after a year or 10 years passed like that, the battle between the gods and humans still continued, and one day after 30 years had passed.
“Kuhh!!”
At the hands of the goddess of mercy, he killed Aphrodite, who had lost most of his status among the masses, and tried to absorb her divinity.
However, the gods, who were driven into crisis beyond anything else, made their divinity disappear after death as a self-defense mechanism.
Except for the few deities that were originally placed in the system, the deity of the goddess Aphrodite has returned to dust… All that the Goddess of Benevolence gained was her ‘beauty’.
He had the looks, but he didn’t have the divinity.
After Aphrodite, she killed other gods, but it was impossible for any goddess to absorb their divinity.
And after the death of the three gods… The remaining nine gods chose to commit suicide.
He entrusted most of his divinity to the system, and just faded away like a divine throne.
It was because of the foolish choices of the three foolish gods, but they knew that humans would no longer give them faith.
They committed suicide, leaving three thrones in the sky.
There are four goddesses and only three divine seats.
What choice would you have made in this situation?
“Kill the witch!!”
“Yes, that bitch is a witch!!”
“… .”
The goddess of loving-kindness accused the pure-white goddess of being a witch.
The Goddess of Play agreed with the words of the Goddess of Loyalty and spread the rumors widely.
The goddess of betrayal did not want to kill the pure white goddess born at the same time and in the same place as herself, but she closed her eyes and covered her ears with greed for the throne.
The pure white goddess was accused of being a witch, and her divinity was taken away by the goddesses, and she was reduced to a human being.
“It’s burned at the stake!!”
“Burn that witch to death!!”
And that’s how the first witch hunt began in the human world.
At one time, the humans who followed him more than anyone else died at the end of their lifespan, and the humans he healed now try to kill themselves, taking off their pretense.
Dressed in heart-shaped symbols.
Wearing a necklace of symbols of swords and flames.
Chess king and queen tattooed people.
towards yourself… I aimed at the bright red flame.
In the meantime, the three goddesses ascended to heaven.
The god who was praised more than anyone else became a human being and burned to death, dying in a false accusation, but the gods who killed humans were praised and reborn as true gods.
“Don’t curse me!! You guys!!!!”
She shouted while the pure white goddess’s clothes were on fire.
The goddess who met her death because she was just betrayed died miserably there… alive again
“Yes, your name is Lucifer.”
Losing her memories and not even being allowed to enjoy the comfort of being on the river of reincarnation, she came to life not as Rachel but as Lucifer, an angel of the Goddess of Mercy.
Then, praising her achievements as those of the goddess of loving-kindness, she received a portion of her divine status and served as her servant.
“Lucifer, heal these humans.”
According to her words, he healed humans and named the Goddess of Benevolence.
“Lucifer, massage my leg.”
Kneading her legs like a real servant, she freed the body of the abominable goddess.
“Lucifer… .”
“Lucifer?”
“Lucifer!!!”
and 800 years.
It was Lucifer who survived like a servant named angel, but… I made one mistake.
and got kicked out
Lucifer, who had lived like a machine, also had feelings for 800 years and appealed to her, but the answer that came back was really beyond imagination.
“That’s right, as your godhood increases, you are no longer needed.”
As the number of people increased, the number of people following her increased to such an extent that the faith that Rachel had built up in the past could be filled in less than a day. The number of angels also increased, and there were many angels with various authority even without Lucifer.
“So it doesn’t matter if I throw it away?”
The Goddess of Mercy, who no longer needed Lucifer, let him fall once more.
This time, not to the lower world where humans live, but to hell.
She abandoned Lucifer to Hell because she thought angels would be killed by demons anyway.
[Ah, Goddess.]
The demons did not hate Lucifer.
What demons hate is three goddamn gods… They didn’t hate the machine they made, but rather, they genuinely liked the real goddess who had been reduced to a machine.
[May you guide us now with enlightened eyes.]
Because they weren’t fallen because they were evil.

Just because they believed in her existence until they died 800 years ago.
In this way, the life of an unfortunate woman who lived as a pure white goddess and a goddess of lovingkindness truly came to an end.
Reborn as the queen of curses, she hid her title and lived as the king of spirits, still using the name Lucifer.
That foolish goddess could have been fooled just by doing this.
“But I guess you can’t fool your sister.”
“… Rachel.”
“As expected, that bitch was so crazy that I thought the other two were similar, but I guess it wasn’t.”
The goddess of curse, who brought out the blade that had been sharpened for 1000 years, quietly revealed her status.
