218 – EP.9 Grade 4 Dimensional Management God Solari-2
***
After meeting Antonio, Kang In-ho had a hard time maintaining his sanity due to the high fever.
Perhaps it was because her bare body was exposed to the rain, but I could feel her body getting chills and her fever gradually rising.
The images of himself and Antonio, cowering under the Pope’s threats, overlap.
Inho felt some emotion stirring in her solar plexus that was difficult to explain in words.
“I just vented my anger on Sister Maria…”
[I… I…]
Maria looked at me with a tearful voice.
She smiled brightly, and she got angry at Maria for following her.
The image of her leaving the room with her hurt face flashes in her eyes.
Kang In-ho lay down on the bed and exhaled.
Hot breath touched her skin.
“Is it body aches? Come to think of it, I’ve been sick before.”
Except for the time when he was suffering from an old man’s body, the number of times he lay down due to illness was quite small.
He fell into the pouring water.
“What are you?”
Kang In-ho opened his eyes at the sound he heard as soon as he closed his eyes.
It seemed like I was lying down in bed, but before I knew it, I found myself standing in a large space.
“Who are you?”
A woman with neat short hair and calm golden eyes.
And impressive white wings.
Kang In-ho traced her memories of her past and recalled the existence of a woman who looked similar to her.
“I am Solari, a level 4 dimensional management god. I am the dimensional management god of this dimension.”
“Ah… Dimension Management God.”
Inho said, recalling her forgotten name.
“He arbitrarily entered the dimension and even disrupted the plan I was preparing…”
Even though the tone was toneless, there was a hint of subtle irritation.
Inho shrugged his shoulders at the dimensional management god’s anger.
“I didn’t come here because I wanted to. I ended up like this because some crazy b*tch did something strange to me.”
“What are you talking about? …There’s a spell on your soul.”
“Is it possible to solve the problem?”
Inho asked, just in case.
“Unfortunately, this is a spell cast by a being higher than me. It is impossible.”
Solari answered the mortal’s question kindly.
“It’s not just a simple possession spell, but a lot of various things are at stake. I don’t know who it is, but… It seems like it hates you quite a bit.”
“That’s right.”
Inho shrugged her shoulders again.
“But how did you call me?”
“I brought your sleeping soul here for a moment.”
Wow, it’s a handy ability. Inho muttered.
Solari’s eyes sparkled at her calm and fragile appearance.
“First, let’s summarize the situation. For some reason, you are under a spell that moves between dimensions.”
Inho nodded at Solari’s words.
“I moved from the previous dimension to this place that I manage… And happened to possess the body of the man I was planning.”
“That saint impersonator?”
In-ho recalled the crime of the sinner for whom Maria had cut off her head.
“He is a true saint.”
Solari sighed.
“What?”
Inho’s mouth opened slightly.
“He is a real saint. Mary struck his head and tried to bring him back to life with light and make him a saint.”
“Wow… It was real.”
“I paid some attention to it. I tried to show the miracle of a severed head being attached to the body with intense light… The birth of a saint through the miracle of resurrection. But….”
Solari’s tone grew stronger.
“But… I was possessed by you at that time and my soul was replaced.”
“Again, it’s not my fault?”
“I know.”
Solari snorted.
“If I hadn’t been watching him closely, I wouldn’t have noticed that you had come to my dimension. I don’t know how you can enter the car without leaving a trace… The technique is really scary.”
“If he wasn’t looking at the person he wanted to revive, you wouldn’t have known?”
“There is a high probability that it was so.”
In-ho now seemed to know why he had never seen God while traveling through other dimensions.
“So… What was the purpose of calling me? Is it just to protest that your plan went awry?”
Inho looked at Solari.
“I propose a deal. Kang In-ho, owner of a noble soul.”
Solari flicked his hand, and two chairs appeared.
She politely pointed to a chair, and Kang In-ho sat down on the chair.
“Deal? What are the conditions?”
As Inho asked, crossing her legs, Solari sat down on the chair across from her.
“Please act like a saint.”
“If you talk like that out of nowhere, I don’t know.”
“I’m trying to destroy the Solarium Church with my own hands. I hope you can help me do that.”
“Can’t you just throw down the lightning? Oh, it’s not that I don’t want to do it, I’m just curious why it works. Is there a need to make a saint and do that?”
Inho asked brightly.
“As a god, if I exercise my power directly, the ‘law of cause and effect’ becomes more and more out of sync. It’s okay for the first one or two times, but if it exceeds a certain number, I have to sacrifice another soul to stabilize it.”
Solari spoke in an easy-to-understand manner, as if she were teaching her students.
“So you use an indirect method.”
Inho nodded her head.
“That’s right.”
“If the ultimate goal is the downfall of the church, what will be the process?”
Inho asked, leaning forward.
“Mary’s faith must deepen. We must question the current denomination.”
“Will it be easy? He’s an Inquisitor, so he’s probably more serious about the church than anyone else, right?”
He frowned as if asking if it was possible.
“That’s the problem. If I had originally planned, I would have changed that perception slowly and over a very long period of time…”
Solari rolled her eyes, and Inho cleared his throat.
“The situation has become very twisted, so we have no choice but to use a radical method.”
“For example?”
“A saint dies unfairly at the hands of a religious order? If Mary had feelings for you beyond respect, she would be hostile to the religious order.”
Solari presented one scenario.
“Well, if that’s the case.”
Inho also nodded her head.
“If Mary’s faith deepens through you, she will be able to gain the strength to destroy her cult on her own. I will perform a miracle.”
“But what if Mary rejects you in the process? If she turns her faith to me instead of to you, doesn’t that weaken your power?”
When Inho asked, recalling a setting he had read in a fantasy novel one day, Solari burst into laughter.
“Oh, I’m sorry. Don’t worry about that. No matter what my name is called or where people’s faith is directed, all faith in the dimension I manage is directed to me.”
Solari said loudly, clearing her throat.
“That’s a really good setting.”
Inho grunted.
“I won’t deny it.”
Solari answered leisurely.
“Okay, so if I help you, what benefit will it have for me? I’ll tell you in advance, it’s a condition of allowing you to live happily in this dimension.”
In-ho presented the terms of the deal.
“I don’t want to leave you here for long either.”

Solari swallowed for a moment.
“The longer we keep you here because of the spell on you, the more the causality will be disrupted. So, I will have to send you to another dimension as well.”
“Hmm… I don’t have any special attraction conditions…”
After thinking for a while, he clapped his hands.
“Okay then, let’s do it this way. Analyze the spell on my soul and hand over that information to me.”
Solari’s mouth opened slightly at Inho’s words.
“It’s not difficult… Is that all it takes? For the sake of our friendship, I can just hand it over.”
“It’s a situation where I can’t agree to anything anyway. I’ll just make this condition. Anyway, I hate the church the same way, so the enemy of my enemy is my friend… I have to help.”
“Are you an enemy…?”
Solari laughed incredulously.
What mortal would face God and describe him as an enemy?
“Good. Then, we’ll discuss the detailed plan later.”
“Can I see it in my dreams again?”
“No, you can come to my avatar when you wake up.”
“Avatar?”
“It’s a way to interfere in the world without destroying the law of causality. I created an image to contain my will and brought it into the church.”
“Really? Then who should I go to?”
“It’s a face you know well.”
When Solari flicked her hand, Inho’s face changed into a familiar one.
“This is why I hate the gods.”
In-ho, who was looking at the change blankly, frowned.
