Chapter 326 – Killing a God (2)
Do-jin, who washed off the blood scab from his body his with the clean magic scroll, sat in front of Deok-gu and listened to his story his.
“How to kill God…… First of all, what does God think?”
“What is God? God is God, right?”
“It’s a ghost.”
“…… Ghost?”
At that, Dojin tilted his head. Few people on Earth believe in souls. But not in the fantasy world.
A world where the dead can be revived and the existence of an afterlife after death can be proven.
No one in this world doubts the existence of ghosts. However, I have never heard of the view that God is a ghost.
“What are you talking about?”
“For example……Let’s say there is an abandoned house with a very strong ghost. You can’t see the ghosts that live here, but they are real, and they often move things to frighten people.”
The more people who startle people and believe in the existence of ghosts and tremble in fear, the more the ghosts gain great power.
So is God. It is invisible but exists, and it often shows off its powerful power to make people believe in themselves and gain powerful power.
So how can you kill God?
“Ghosts or desert goblins…… The way to get rid of them is the same.”
Kill magically
Or.
No one believes them
“It takes away the faith. Makes no one believe it exists. Just as the prestige of the church was weakened with Nietzsche’s statement that God is dead, it erases the cross in people’s hearts.”
It is very difficult. Even if brainwashing is carried out on a national level, it is not an easy task that will take decades.
But Dojin is possible. Something that makes you believe in God. That is, all you need is a skill that can replace all the powers given by the gods.
“It’s Deokgu.”
“Yes?”
“A newspaper, please publish it.”
“Ryokai.”
Deokgu went back to his room, swearing in an incomprehensible language. Dojin went back to the basement after washing his face dry several times.
From now on, it was time to run around sweaty feet.
* * *
Well, well.
All of the fingers, which were clean without a blemish, were swollen, and the flesh was being torn to white.
Charlotte, who was watching it from the side of her, stopped him for a moment, and when he took his eyes off him, he was chewing his fingers again before he knew it.
“…… Saintess. Please stop.”
“Noisy! What are you? While not letting her husband go to see her —!”
“If the saintess goes now, she will only get in the way.”
Charlotte let out a sigh and grabbed the saintess by the wrist and pulled it off. Then her saintess stamped her feet and began to kick her Charlotte, and then she began to chew her tongue or her lips.
There is a huge level difference between the two, so I could stand that kick…… I couldn’t wait to see the damage done to that beautiful body.
“Saintess, please…… Are you going to show him the scar?”
“You can treat it with divine power. And if you’re that worried, you can just let it go. Why do you keep holding on?”
“Didn’t I tell you? If the saintess goes now…….”
“That I might be stripped of her saintly position?”
After being attacked by Maeve, the saintess who returned to her mansion her immediately received a telegram from the kingdom.
An oracle given directly by the twelve gods, including the main god.
There is an apostate who made a pact with the devil. Kill him
And the apostate the gods said was Do-jin. The man the saint woman never ceases to yearn for, her savior her.
Upon hearing the news, Iris tried to head straight to Dojin’s mansion…… Charlotte blocked the way.
“Yes. You have to be careful. She says the saintess says she is favored by God, but there is no law that she will be forgiven no matter what she does.”
“That’s just speculation! Even now, her husband must be suffering from all sorts of slander! I have to go quickly and save him…….”
“In any case, if the saintess is stripped of her position as a saintess, she might be abandoned.”
The moment Charlotte spoke her words of her, the saintess glered at Charlotte with a cold, frozen expression.
Charlotte slightly stiffened at the expression of her saintess her, which she had never seen before in her life her, then carefully opened her mouth to speak her thoughts of her.
“What do you think is the reason he is with the saintess? Is it because of the good looks? I wouldn’t try to get close to a cursed saint just for that reason.”
“…… What do you know?”
“I know a lot more about him than the saintess. What kind of sword he used, what kind of life he lived, and what path he walked.”
A high-level swordsman can read the other person’s mind just by looking at each other’s swords.
And, Charlotte was the number one Holy Knight in the Holy Kingdom.
From the early days when Do-jin just fell to another world, he was a swordsman who had shared swords with him until recently.
“He’s not that weak. There is no need for the saintess to go and help. On the contrary, it is more likely to be a hindrance than a help.”
“…… Then what should I do?”
“Do what the saintess can do. Inside the Holy Kingdom, claim that he is not an apostate. Prove that he is not a heretic.”
Charlotte said that and slapped Iris on both cheeks. It was a light slap on her part her, but Iris felt a burning pain in her cheek her.
Tears in her pain her, Iris met her eyes her with Charlotte holding her own cheek.
“That is the only way the saintess can help him.”
“Sharh…….”
“The enemy within is more fearful than the enemy outside. Holy Maiden.”
The tearful saintess listened to Charlotte’s words and nodded her head. She then touched my reddened cheek, and she carefully healed the swollen cheek with divine power.
Iris, who felt the pain while treating her blown mouth her, timidly took revenge.
“…… It’s all good, but you didn’t even hit me, did you?”
“That…”
“Be prepared for later.”
Charlotte looked at Iris who warned her so much and started to tremble slightly. Because she couldn’t have predicted what the hell she would ask for.
Also, if she were to be told to go around in grotesque outfits like she used to…… I would rather bite my tongue and die.
However, something changed the saintess’s mind. Charlotte reluctantly nodded her head.
“…… All right.”
“Great! Then, let’s help my husband—!”
Iris vigorously kicked off her bed and took out the communication tool connected to the Holy Kingdom. Yeah, let her do what she can.
Let’s believe in Dojin. The journey he has taken, the relationships he has built.
* * *
In fact, even though each of the 12 gods gave an oracle to the forces or races they ruled—— the people on the continent reacted with a cold heart.
“Haha, don’t you think that’s too much?”
-Isn’t life worth it?
“…… Threatening a warrior with his life? Did you even think that I would waste my life?”
Hearing the oracle of the beast god, the father of all beasts, who rules the Great Plains, Cheonhwa glared at his incarnation his fiercely and replied.
It is true that he is their original, but no parent can control the life of their child. Even more so if they are parents of dozens of generations or older generations, not children directly below them.
“Let me tell you one thing for sure. The beastmen of the Great Plains reject you. Beast.”
—That’s cheeky. Would you have come to your senses if you died on the spot?
“That’s not bad. Shall we see how strong the beast called God really is?”
As Cheonhwa said that, she let out her yogi, and Hwasin immediately took the form of her beast and rushed at her.
After a long fight, the Beast God, who was subdued and beheaded by the chieftains including Cheonhwa, widened his eyes, saying, “How can you guys do this?”
—This is a betrayal! Aren’t you afraid of the afterlife?
“What I fear most is to live embarrassing myself, not after I fall asleep.”
Cheonhwa said that and raised Hwasin’s neck high.
The image of the beast god’s head shaking came into view of the beastmen of the Great Plains.
“We are today—! Killed God! The beastman does not stand under anyone! Even if that is a god—!”
The Descendants of the Continent refused to obey God’s command, not only to them, but also to other races.
“Mother World Tree, that doesn’t sound like much…….”
“Hmm—Machine God. Are you better at hammering than me?”
“Haha, nature-. We do your will, but we are not your slaves.”
Elves, dwarves, and even minor tribes called barbarians.
Many have rejected God’s command.
Slaves of God, an absolute being, they realized freedom through contact with someone.
Although some of the gods whose followers did not know how to refuse their orders were shocked and went into seclusion, there were still voluntary slaves with medieval ideas.
“War, I will follow you.”
An army was dispatched from a mysterious country that exists somewhere in the east beyond the continent.
“In the name of God. This is a temple.”
The zealots who followed anything just because it was God’s command mobilized.
“End of the world! Destruction to the world!”
The forces trying to make the world a mess by taking advantage of chaos and chaos also began to move.
These were forces with a large number of people that could never be hidden, and instead of hiding the oracle, they proudly revealed it and used it to further strengthen their unity.
Yeah, lots of people.
What they do
I found out.
“On such a good day—I have come to preach a good god to you who worship the wrong god.”
The shadows in the sky The zealots who served chaos were taken aback when they saw the black darkness covering their heads.
It was not a shadow, but a swarm of bats in the tens or even millions. A swarm of flying beasts filled the sky without a chance for a ray of light to come in…….
Aderange smiled at the zealots below.
“That is death.”
And the next moment, a bloody rain swept across the ground.
After the sea of blood swept the ground as a tidal wave, none of the zealots who were wiped out survived.
Confirming that there were no survivors of her, Ade Lange flew straight to the next area. Inwardly, she cursed at her master for giving her too many tasks.
‘No, the owner seems pretty busy too…….’
Aderange thought of Do-jin and the people he would be facing. The heads of all powers who heard his oracle and came to him.
