Chapter 428 – God Hunt (4)
A slum full of poor people.
A place where people who go hungry from not being able to eat, who are left unattended until they rot when injured, and who have neither the energy nor the will to move are gathered.
A group of people who are not even as good as scavengers who make a living by scavenging for trash cans, and when a person falls down, they run to eat the corpse, but give up and die of starvation because they don’t even have the motivation to do so.
Two saints appeared in such a place.
“…… Did it hurt a lot? It’s fine now.”
A-ram used his ability his toward the children who fell to the floor and fell asleep and looked like they were about to collapse at any moment.
Even the fraudulent cheat ability at the level of turning back time couldn’t get the kids back in weight, but it could help them regain their strength and willpower.
From the point of view of modern Aram, their lethargy was a physical disease. Mainly cranial nerve problems.
I didn’t know what part of the body was causing these things, but I didn’t really need to know.
“It hurts, it hurts—everything goes away….”
As if to pray, Aram grabbed his hands and used his power his. Then, dark energy flowed from Aram’s body and flew towards the children.
It was an ominous color even at first glance, so the children flinched slightly, but that was the limit. I was frightened and didn’t have the strength to run away.
The moment they touch Aram’s energy, the dried-up children’s expressions become lively.
These were the first words uttered by the children who had regained their energy.
“…… I’m hungry.”
“Don’t worry. Because there is food. You can eat as much as you want.”
Saying that, Aram looked at the paladin who followed. He brought out a bowl of soup that had been chilled for a quick bite.
Aram directly fed the soup to the child who was having a hard time taking care of himself, and he didn’t care about getting his body dirty in the process.
Truly, it was an extremely saintly figure.
The Holy Knight thought so and pressed the shutter of the camera.
Click-!
Her appearance of her as a saintess, to be featured on the front page of the newspaper, was beautifully captured.
* * *
[Saint Aram, her true identity her is actually an angel who came down from heaven …… !?]
[The saintess of the main religion, converted to a level-up school…… Expose the corruption and atrocities of the main religion.]
Deokgu’s newspaper boasted the greatness of the two saints every day. There were fabrications that weren’t true, but it didn’t matter.
Even if the newspapers wrote nonsense that Do-jin was a god, there were no people to complain to them.
Exactly, it couldn’t exist.
“Ah, yes. Okay. That’s what the Truman and Erebus companies did. Get rid of it.”
-Yes, I understand.
Deokgu passed the message to his subordinate his and continued writing the next article. Every time Dojin did something, he was three times as busy as Dojin.
Of course, there are times when he feels resentful to the point of wanting to beat him up, but as a result, Deokgu is satisfied with his current life.
Because he knew that his power would eventually come from the tip of Do-jin’s sword.
“Hey-! Oh Deok-gu!”
And then Aram, dressed in a nun’s uniform, burst open the door and entered the room. She had a copy of her newspaper her in her hand her, and Deokgu glanced at the article on the front page and realized why she ran into her room her.
[Saint Aram’s cute and sexy photobook…… ]
“You madman! Why are you selling these things!”
Saying that, Aram threw the newspaper she was holding, but her level 4 strength her must have been amazing, so Deokgu could feel the stars floating in front of her eyes after being hit by her newspaper her.
Grabbing his staggering head, Deokgu raised his glasses casually.
“I didn’t take it.”
“Shut up! Erase it! I mean erasure, you Giregi!”
Enraged at Deokgu’s behavior of selling her own nun’s uniform, which was not enough to take a picture of her nun’s uniform her, which, thanks to her size her being smaller, Aram grabbed him by the collar and shook her back and forth vigorously.
Aram’s grip, possessed by an evil god, was not something that Deokgu could withstand, and in the end, Deokgu had the experience of fainting and waking up several times.
Deokgu, who was freed only after his neck bones her were pulled out, held out his hand to Aram while holding on to his neck her.
“Do-jin! Do-jin told me to take a picture!”
“…… Uh?”
“Coke- oh, I almost died.”
“What are you talking about just now?”
“What are you talking about, who made the camera in the first place?”
Deok-gu said that and made a false accusation that Do-jin ordered all the photos taken to make the photobook.
However, if you didn’t know the circumstances before and after, it sounded quite plausible. It was Do-jin who ordered Saiax and Noah to make a camera, and it was Do-jin who told them to spread the name of the saint with the camera they made.
Of course, he didn’t directly tell me to do a photobook, but he was 99% at fault.
“…… You mean Do-jin did that?”
“Okay. It’s called a photobook, but if you look closely, there’s hardly anything really erotic. Underwear exposed or something like that.”
“Yeah, but…….”
“All of them are only owned by Do-jin. Why would you hide it and watch it alone?”
Deok-gu slandered Do-jin. The reason he was able to come out like this was simple. Because he was He said that Aram would not ask Dojin directly anyway.
As he thought, Aram, who heard that he had done it because Do-jin ordered him to, did not know what to do with his face blushing slightly, unlike before, when he was violently angry.
“…… Does Do-jin really like this?”
“Is there a man you don’t like?”
“…… That, then Can you show me the pictures Dojin took?”
“You said it earlier. Only Do-jin has it.”
“It was true…….”
In the end, Deok-gu, who somehow managed to get over his anger, asked A-ram about the work of a saint.
“Are you doing well?”
“Saints Day? It’s hard but… It’s rewarding.”
“Then I’m glad. I don’t know how much occupancy was stolen because there’s no internet here, and because there’s actually a god, I can’t investigate even anonymously…….”
Saying that, Deokgu calculated how much faith the main god had taken away by Aram, Iris, and the level-up religion.
It’s just his guess his, but he seemed to have occupied at least 30 % in these few days.
It can be said that it is only 30%, but originally, the faith that a god of one religion can have is about 10%.
Twelve gods share their faith, and among them, the god they believe in changes again according to their preference.
The fact that the level-up school raised its market share to 30% in a matter of days was practically the same as the level-up school becoming the main religion on this planet.
Recalling how much the gods like the World Tree and Cyax were aware of this fact, Deokgu had a rough idea of how great this was.
‘Do-jin, I hope you become a god soon and take a picture of invincibility…….’
A 30% market share was a market share that allowed a nameless god to surpass the main god. In other words, in fact, Dojin had the faith to cross over the main god.
He just can’t use it because he doesn’t have the qualifications to receive faith or the ability to wield it.
He was preparing to become a god.
* * *
While Deokgu, Aram, and Iris were helping to take away the faith of the main god as religion, Dojin, along with Noah and Saix, was trying to take away the faith from the civilization itself.
The camera was also a by-product of the plan.
“Contractor! How do you make this!?”
“Television? If you send out a radio wave and receive it….”
“No, how are you supposed to find out with such a rough explanation? Let me explain in detail. In the first place, why does this piece of picture become a picture again when it becomes electromagnetic waves and is fired…….”
However, there was a major problem with this plan. The fact that Do-jin had knowledge at the level of arts and sports, not liberal arts. And it was that at that level, it was impossible to spread scientific civilization to the people of the other world.
Dojin broke into a cold sweat while watching Saix ask about the exact structure and principle of TV. Something to know about that. I’ve never even seen what the inside of a TV looks like in the first place.
“I know.”
Fortunately, Seoyoon was among the children who came over to the other world together. He is the first in the entire school, and he is an outlier and a genius to the extent that he memorizes the code of laws just because he is bored.
She knew in great detail the principles of the cylinders used in cameras, TVs, and train engines, and even though she was not perfect, she was able to somehow make prototypes with the power of Syax’s magic and Noah’s alchemy.
Thanks to this, Dojin succeeded in making a steam engine or an internal combustion engine powered by magic stones, a phone that could make calls with people hundreds of kilometers away, and a camera and TV that could record and transmit video.
“Um…… This…….”
“As expected, wouldn’t it be impossible to build a railroad by ourselves?”
“It’s too much…… No matter how much money I have, it’s not like I’m messing around with the country.”
Although Dojin hardly pays taxes, it was practically impossible to build a railroad across the country with only private property.
These things required the help of a wider variety of people. For example, the help of people like the Queen of the Kingdom and the President of the Colossal Alliance.
“Let’s just let this go.”
“Are you okay?”
“It’s okay. Our purpose is not to make money.”
Dojin said so and glanced up at the ceiling.
“Since it’s time to get scared and do something, we should rather spread it faster.”
It felt like the sky was shaking. As if something on the other side is raging.
