159 – Recapture of Fellowship (4)
“…what?”
“What are those… all of them?”
“Divine power? No, this is…”
After everyone sleeps, first of all, I came to Regin with everyone to meet Gulbeig, who has a metal god, but something is strange.
The divine power is so full.
The fact that you are full of divine power can never be viewed favorably no matter what happens. It was because there was something so important that a god had to appear in the lower world, where everyone had to live on their own.
Above all, this divine power is different from ordinary divine power.
The divine power that cannot but be emitted naturally due to existence and the divine power that comes out when the body is injured can be grouped together in the category of divine power, but they are distinctly different.
And, of course, the divine power that fills this area is the latter.
It was not divine power that could only be emitted naturally, but it was divine power that came out instead of blood due to the body being torn apart and dying.
And although its divine power is weak, Nero’s energy remains. Although, of course, it is very different from the energy of Nero that I remember, whether it was transformed by the god of light.
“Is that… a statue?”
Even the dwarves are making strange statues. Countless dwarves clung to the statue so huge that it could be called a small hill, making the statue.
No, can we call this a statue? Strictly speaking, shouldn’t we call it a statue of gold rather than a bronze statue?
Of course, I hadn’t seen this much gold in my previous life, and even after becoming Faust, I hadn’t seen it even once.
What’s even more horrifying is that these dwarves never move voluntarily.
Even without reading their emotions, it was enough to see the faces of the dwarves and the angels aiming at them as weapons.
“Go to work!!”
“We have to make it even a little faster!!”
“For Faust-sama!!”
What are those bastards saying?
For me, I didn’t even know something like this was being created in the first place, and there’s no way I would want something like this, so what are you thinking of selling my name and doing things like this?
And maybe that statue is me?
No, make it grandiose and gigantic like that… No, that’s it. Let’s not think deeply.
Anyway, what is certain now is that those angels are disgracing my name.
First of all, take care of those angels.
“Ha, but this gold… It’s Mr. Gulbeig’s body, so how can I…”
“How dare you mention the name of a dead god!?”
…what?
corpse?
Lying… No, there’s no reason to lie.
…Somehow, even if there was a lot of gold, it was too much. It seemed that he would not be able to get that amount of gold even if he completely plowed the ground, but it would make sense if that gold was not a mineral he dug from the ground, but Gulbeig’s corpse.
There was so much divine power around me, so I did it just in case, but my bad feeling is not wrong.
“Unbelievers must be punished, but Faust is merciful.”
“Honoring a dead god is clearly a crime of blasphemy, and since you refused to worship Faust-sama, this amounts to 10 years of hard labor— ha ha!?”

Kwaaa!!!
The angels who surrounded the dwarves who were reluctant to touch the dead god’s body and poured out all sorts of strange words were aiming at them.
Her wings are black, perhaps because she is my angel, not Serapia’s, and she tries not to kill, perhaps because she’s influenced by me, but it doesn’t really matter. It’s an unchanging fact that they’re ruining my name anyway.
After twisting Mana and Magi to pick out the angels, they throw them outward and far away. It must have been thrown so fast that it broke through the speed of sound, making an annoying sound.
Uh… I’ll have to adjust the intensity a little bit next time.
“uh…?”
“what…”
The angels who were supervising them suddenly disappeared, leaving the dwarves in great panic.
I wouldn’t know if one or two disappeared, but no one disappeared after a short but tremendous storm passed by in an instant. If that wasn’t panic, I would have to suspect that it was a golem and not a dwarf.
“You looked ugly. My apologies.”
“Who—- hee, heeik…!”
“Now you’re a devil!? OMG!!”
When I approached the Dwarves and showed up, the Dwarves who were bewildered were now surprised to see me. It seems that they don’t know that the statue they were making until now was modeled after me.
…Well, it’s new, but you really did the work recklessly, the angels.
It is said that this happened because of a strange change in the way of thinking because of the power of light, but I have to say a word to Flora and Nero after work is over.
“For now, I’ll bring you back to life.”
“what…?”
“What did you just say—- sss…?!”
“How… those opposite attributes at the same time…”
I’ve been neglecting it because I haven’t had much use for it until now, but fortunately I haven’t forgotten the sense.
As if it were so natural and so familiar, I wrapped the magic circle of light and the magic circle of darkness around my arm, and then designated that huge golden hill to cast time reversal.
Of course, this magic circle had no meaning since it was just a visual effect, but it was not accepted as meaningless by the dwarves.
Chalkang!
“…they’re sticking again.”
The fragments of gold that were cut through the carving knife floated up and clung to that huge gold lump, and the dwarves who saw it were stunned.
Some of them seem to have vaguely noticed what will happen in the future, and their faces are filled with anticipation.
Originally, time reversal doesn’t work well against opponents with divine power, but since this guy is already dead, I don’t feel like it’s getting caught or anything like that. I’m glad.
[…what is this.]
It wasn’t just the Dwarves who were flustered. The golden beast Gulbeig, who was served by the Dwarves, also had wide-eyed eyes and did not know what had happened to him.
Of course, it’s just that I don’t know what happened, but it seems that I immediately realized that I was the one who made this. As if asking for an explanation, eyes full of questions turn to me.
However, I ignore it because my pride does not allow me to explain without even asking. If you’re that curious, don’t look at it with your eyes, open your mouth and ask.
“Is the name of the person who brought you to this point Nero?”
[…Yes.]
“Where did Nero go?”
[Isn’t there something I should say before that?]
“Just saving lives is an achievement that deserves all sorts of rewards, but are you so small that you can’t answer even asking for directions?”
[…]
Don’t you have something to say?
If you’re curious, don’t flirt like that asking for an explanation, just open your mouth and ask what he did.
Gullveig’s face is full of embarrassment and contempt, wondering if my question is too aggressive and sharp, but Gulbeig does not take any hostile action against me. As I said, Gulveig is in a position to repay me.
[…the vaguely heard words right before he died said he was going to Neptune.]
“I see, thank you.”
Gullbeig has nothing to do now.
Of course, to prevent Noah from being parasitized by Gulveig, we will have to set up a boundary around him, but for now, it is more urgent to block the nonsensical things that my people, such as Flora and Nero, who are influenced by the god of light, are doing.
If Noah crawled into the corpse of God, it would be truly catastrophic. Noah’s fear is that he can make something terrible by weaving the corpses of some god.
Just-!
“There is someone who is secretly trying to eat your body and mind. Get escorted by them until you defeat that person. I’m not sure if they are stronger than you, but they can die instead of you, and it will be very helpful in detecting the enemy in advance.”
[…what if I refuse?]
“In order to completely kill that someone, I’ll have to completely cut you into pieces so you can’t even find the body. I hope you don’t have to choose a troublesome option.”
Instantly snap your fingers to create a group of people to escort Gulveig.
Gulveig doesn’t seem to like the fact that someone outside of his family is protecting him, but he doesn’t complain, as he thinks my words are sincere.
Now that we’re roughly done here, let’s hurry up and head to Neptune. I need to feed Nero at least a large chestnut.
**********
‘…Is he the master that the angels whose heads have lost their taste just served? Unlike the angels, they keep their reason intact.’
After the stormy meeting leaves in an instant, Gullveig recalls his meeting with Faust.
Unlike the angels that attacked them and the dwarves, his master seemed unaffected by the Light Goddess. No, it wasn’t what it looked like, it really wouldn’t have been affected.
This makes absolutely no sense. If the subordinates became low-level, the magic system that encompasses the world should have an effect on the owner as well.
“Gul, Gulbeig-sama…!”
“I’m glad… I’m really glad…!”
‘…Are there any dead children?’
Faust’s appearance and aura are so horrifying and creepy, but the fact that no dwarves were killed by Faust’s followers, even though he was treated harshly while the main god died, reveals the true nature of Faust, the master of angels.
Realizing this fact, Gulveig decides to leave everything to Faust for now, and starts taking care of the distraught dwarves while he is gone.
Well, it’s fortunate that he’s a good guy by nature.
