Sinful God – 1
What is this voice?
For a moment, my head was spinning.
A dream I had a while back in my hometown of Hearthpil.
That was the voice I heard back then!
I asked softly.
“Who the hell are you.”
[This is the starting line. I can’t say it’s a good choice. I don’t know if it’s an unavoidable choice.]
“Who are you? No, hang on. Are you a Velocian?”
Taken from noblemtl.com
Velocian, an unknown person who presented Grade to the Imperial Castle Underground Gate.Between Velocian and I, there is a huge secret that is a whopping S-class.
So I asked the question with anticipation, but the voice answered with a smirk.
[I don’t know if it’s something else, but I don’t want to receive that misunderstanding.]
“···········?”
[Let me tell you in the sense of never calling me a Velocian again. My name is Impelium. Please do not ask.]
I didn’t have to answer.
Impellium turned the topic without hesitation.
[You mean to call the heavenly gods at the starting line. You’ll probably get an oracle from him.]
“Yes.”
[He will refuse.]
A voice so confident.
Of course, I didn’t think it would be as easy as Idria had said.
However, Impellium was more confident than Idria.
“Why do you think so?”
[I am well aware of the existence of a heavenly god.]
“··········!”
[You seem to have noticed it too, but the Heavenly God is not as benevolent or warm as humans expect.]
“Even so, I don’t think we will be completely indifferent in the face of the human crisis called the Advent of the Demon King.”
[Well.]
He spoke in an ambiguous voice.
[It would be better to experience that for yourself. It’s not possible to do anything else right now.]
“·················ogue.”
[I’ll give you one piece of advice. Maid Mohan.]
The voice said seriously.
[If the Heavenly God rejects your offer or does something worse, say this.]
“·················ogue.”
[‘If you reject my offer, the Impelium will come to you.’]
I tilted my head.
“Impelium, is it you? What’s your relationship with the god of heaven?”
[Of course, I do not intend to tell.]
“There are many secrets. I am good at digging up secrets.”
[With those eyes, right?]
At those words, I took a breath.
The Eye of the Battery is Trail’s secret weapon that even Idria doesn’t know.
I couldn’t help but be nervous as Impellium knew it for granted.
However, he continued to speak as if it was no big deal.
[Initially, the eyes of the omniscience are the power that the heavenly god gave to Trail… And, as you just expected, I have little to do with the Heavenly God.]
“You mean ‘person’?”
[of course. I’m human. At least that’s what I believe.]
“·················ogue.”
[It would be good to continue improving the power of the eyes of the battery. It might be a good idea to learn the secrets of the Heavenly God with me someday. But I can’t speak with my mouth.]
Impellium’s voice seemed a little farther away.
[When you achieve your goal, get off the starting line as quickly as possible.]
‘Why?’
[The heavenly god can only use his almighty power at the starting line. If you leave that realm, he won’t be able to help you.]
He added one last word.
[Oh, and when you wake up from the dream, you will be quite surprised, so prepare your heart.]
what are you talking about
next moment.
I woke up from my dream.
And I couldn’t help but be terrified.
“Sweet. sassy.”
There was Neryl’s face in front of my nose.
‘Aww!’
[What, what!]
‘Trail? Is it you this time?’
[What kind of nonsense is that?]
‘Why is Neryl right in front of me? You must have slept quite far away, didn’t you?’
Trail yawned once and answered.
[It was rolling towards you. I had a bad habit of sleeping.]
‘··········.’
[Heh heh. Are you screaming that it’s a big deal? I’m still single for the rest of my life.]
Neryl has a bad sleep habit?
Before returning, he didn’t even turn to and fro when he stood vigilantly.
Agril continued to fly in the sky at such a speed that even the expression of full speed was insufficient.
And late afternoon the next day.
We were able to get to the starting line when we had a few hours left before the time limit of ‘2 weeks’ that Idria had mentioned.
“Kurre.”
“It was really hard. Agril. Get some rest.”
Xenia comforted Agril and sent him to the sky.
And he looked forward with a slightly moved expression.
“This is the starting line.”
The overall impression of the starting line was golden.
Large reeds that have grown up to the waist of a person stretch out to the end of the field of vision.
When the evening sunset touched the reed fields, it gave the feeling that the whole area was made of gold.
Indeed, Serena said.
“I wish all the reeds here were gold.”
“Serine. Even if you do not have faith in a heavenly god, is it okay to say the first thing you say when you see this holy land?”
“Ummm… yes.”
“It works.”
“Then, how do you feel about Zenia-san?”
Xenia moaned for a while before answering.
“I wish all the reeds here were wheat, right?”
“It’s like me.”
“Not at all.”
Then Neryl asked me.
“therefore? Will you blow the trumpet right away?”
I crossed my arms and fell in thought.
Let us first consider the premise that the heavenly god descends with a trumpet.
What should I say?
Idria asserted that the heavenly god would not issue an oracle ‘to save face’.
Impellium also said that the heavenly god would reject it.
I didn’t think that would be a lie.
The only truth that the Demon King of Lies has spoken.
‘Should I get an opinion without having to suffer alone?’
If we all put our heads together, a plausible answer might come.
I asked.
“Listen everyone. Why does the heavenly god not want to issue an oracle?”
“Idria said it was because the heavenly god was saving his face. I don’t know if that’s true.”
“Let’s assume that it is true. Yes, I understand that if the demon king he killed by giving an oracle is resurrected, his face will be cut.”
“·················ogue.”
“Then, ‘Why can’t I lose face’? The heavenly god is already the only and omnipotent being on the continent. Why is such a being so obsessed with face?”
Everyone quietly started contemplating.
One by one, they made their own assumptions.
“Is this because I am not an example to the believers?”
“Or maybe it’s just a matter of inclination.”
“ah. I vote for the inclination. It’s a little life, original body.”
“Or maybe face is important to that position. People also gain face as they rise in titles or positions.”
“How about calling some priests from the underworld and asking?”
That was then.
Neryl murmured in a low voice.
“Like a warrior.”
“······uh?”
“No, I just did it.”
“Listen to me.”
Now my spine is shivering.
Neryl shrugged and opened her mouth.
“It seemed like he was trying to get fame like a hero. That’s all.”
“·················ogue.”
“It is important for a hero to build a reputation, but it is also important to protect it. If you do bad things or disappoint people, your reputation will suffer.”
“·················ogue.”
“So, I wondered if the celestial god might be doing this because his reputation was slashed when his face was cut.”
oh
Ah!
“aah!”
“What, what? what’s the matter?”
chuck.
I unconsciously grabbed Neril by the shoulders.
“That’s it!”
“Aww!”
“ah. sorry. Were you very surprised?”
almost screaming
[You screamed last night too.]
‘This is clearly different from back then.’
[Nope. Exactly the same.]
I ignored it and told Neryl.
“Neril, you are truly a genius.”
“Hey, get away for a bit. It’s too close.”
“right. as you say It is said that the heavenly god does not want to issue an oracle ‘to protect his reputation’. No doubt!”
I bit myself from Neryl.
She had her head bowed.
[Wow. Doing this unconsciously.]
‘ok?’
[For a lifetime solo, it’s pretty good. Is it unexpectedly possible?]
what are you talking about
Then Jenny asked.
“Hey, what do you mean by that? Surely the heavenly gods are not warriors, are they?”
“yes? Nope. How can you say such nonsense?”
“no. I think it was already vague enough…”
“There is no way the heavenly god is a warrior. But reputation is also important to God. So what should I say?”
I paused for a moment.
And he opened his mouth carefully and seriously.
“If it doesn’t feel right because it’s called fame, let’s call it faith.”
“yes? yes.”
“A hero becomes no longer a hero when his reputation falls.”
“Well. yes.”
“Then what if all mankind loses faith? So, in other words, what if no one believes in a heavenly god?”
Serena tilts her head.
“It doesn’t matter, doesn’t it? There is no way that God is not God just because no one believes in it.”
“Well. Is a God that no one believes in really a God? Could it exist ‘as God’?”
“·················ogue.”
“I don’t think so.”
It is said that God created mankind.
I don’t know if that’s true or not. I have no way of knowing.
But if God really created mankind, wouldn’t the opposite be possible?
“Well, it’s complicated, but it’s simple.”
I deliberately spoke in a light tone.
“The heavenly god wants to protect his reputation, or in other words, his piety. That’s why we don’t want to give the oracle to the hero who will kill Idria.”
To continue to exist as God.
Idria got up from her seat.
And slowly walked towards the entrance of the cave.
It’s a completely different pattern than usual, where he always rolls around in the innermost part of the cave.
Naturally, Kayle followed her and asked.
“what. Where are you going?”
“The time has come. It’s time to put down a fake oracle.”
“··········!”
Kayle swallows his saliva.
He opened his mouth carefully.
“Then can I defeat Maid?”
“It depends on how he comes out.”
“·················ogue.”
“If Maid can obtain an oracle from the Heavenly God, it will be the starting point again. It’s unlikely, though.”
Even if it was the origin, it was a sensible situation for Kyle, who was being pushed back by Maid badly.
Naturally, a smile came to his lips.
Idria looked at Caled like that and spoke coldly.
“He’s a guy with no sense of tension.”
“Even if Maid receives the trust anyway, it will be the starting point. Do I need to be nervous?”
“You are an incompetent bastard who has been reversed like a lie even when you are far ahead of Maid.”
“Everyone, shut up.”
“Being at the starting point means losing. There is a huge gap between your incompetence and Maid’s competence.”
Kayle grappled with this, but couldn’t easily refute it.
Then Idria spoke.
“So I try to write a little more.”
“What number?”
“Humans are very contradictory beings. Normally, humans show intolerance, not believing anything other than what they have experienced.”
I didn’t know what she was saying all of a sudden, but Cale listened to her quietly for a moment.
“But at the same time, it is sometimes ridiculously easy to get swept away by the opinions of others.”
“What do you want to say?”
“Has anyone on the continent seen a heavenly god? Has anyone heard his voice and experienced his miracles?”
It seemed that there was a little heat in Idria’s voice, perhaps because of her mood.
“you’re welcome. Not a single one. But no one doubts the Heavenly God. It must have been something he had never experienced before.”
“·················ogue.”
“Can’t you see that this can be used?”
Kyle felt like he knew something.
He said, trembling his lips.
“So that is….”
“okay.”
Idria smiled and said.
“My fake trust will start with selling Maid.”
great.
Then let’s start slowly.
[Is it too casual? In the end, nothing was found.]
‘Did you find out anything? You found out the specific reason, not the vague saying that you might lose face. Why do you not want to bring down the oracle?’
[Not knowing the solution is the same.]
‘I’ve got a clue to convince you. Just trust me and watch me.’
Trail replied with a grin.
[okay. Now, if I don’t trust you, what will I do? Looking forward to watching.]
I nodded and opened my mouth.
“Ricell. Can I borrow a trumpet?”
“Sure. It was the trumpet I borrowed from Mr. Maid in the first place.”
“Thank you for thinking that way, but this is your thing. I will write it well and return it to you this time.”
Lissel handed the trumpet with a soft smile.
I grabbed the trumpet and took a light, deep breath.
once, twice. third time.
The party members also adjust their breathing to the sound of my breathing.
No one had a voice.

Just waiting for the overwhelming miracle of ‘calling the heavenly god’.Whoa. Whoops!
On the fifth breath, I inhaled deep into my lungs.
And blew the trumpet vigorously.
-Paah!
