Chapter 452 – 452. Feeling Like a God

A total of 3 miracles have been selected so far.

The first and second blessings were easier than expected.

It was because each of them was a blessing that would make those born in the future into better individuals.

However, the third blessing was a bit unusual.

Perhaps because I’m a guy who’s about to become an evil god candidate belonging to Manmajeon, blessings popped up asking for human sacrifice.

Indeed, from the point of view of the believers, it is questionable whether this is a blessing, but since the people involved said it was okay to die for me, I decided not to care.

If they are happy, it’s okay.

‘Now then, number four.’

There are a total of 4 miracles to be received in the future. I checked the 4th miracle, thinking that it would be nice if all the remaining miracles were suitable.

Again, two options appeared.

[Dominant factor: Upgrades all livestock in the sanctuary that will be born in the future.]

[Mutation: A small percentage of future livestock within the sanctuary will be born as mutants.]

“Huh. Be a dominant person.”

Will it be strengthened overall, or will it be made into a small number of singular individuals?

‘To operate as an army, it is better to increase the overall power rather than having a specific individual.’

Still, there is romance in mutant objects.

I picked a mutation. Originally, variables are created by an unusual person.

[It’s a mutation. Would it be okay? It’s a complete gamble…]

“I am a mutant too.”

[Right!]

[Surely.]

Apart from Paimon, even Zerakiel, who usually didn’t say a word, agreed. Something feels strange.

“Hmm. Next.”

[Communication: Allows all beings within the Sanctuary to communicate with each other.]

[Emotional Communion: Allows all beings within the sanctuary to communicate with each other.]

“What’s this.”

I asked Paimon for more clarification. Communication is about having a conversation, and emotional empathy is about being able to exchange emotions that each other feels.

Because I couldn’t decide which was better.

[There are pros and cons.]

“Okay?”

[Yes. In fact, as long as Hangeul has already been designated as the national language, there is no problem in communication between intelligent bodies. Right?]

“Yes. Because everyone can talk.”

Furthermore, since I acquired the fragments of the Tower of Babel in Hell, I can communicate with most intelligent beings.

“But since it says all life forms here…”

[You will be able to talk with animals and plants. Can you communicate to some extent with the livestock you are breeding right now?]

“Hmm. And the same goes for emotional connection.”

[Both are excellent in that they allow you to communicate with non-communicable beings… How can I explain this?]

[The difference between accurate information and uncertain but quick communication.]

Zerakiel took over Paimon’s words and clearly explained the difference between communication and empathy.

If you choose communication, you can talk to all creatures in the sanctuary to some degree. It will be easier to get information about their condition or what they see and hear.

Instead, according to Zerakiel’s words, the speed involved in accepting the other person’s language and translating it again would be considerable.

On the other hand, emotional sympathy was said to be a feeling that one side shoots out rather than a two-way exchange. That’s how fast the delivery is, and it’s much easier to convey your feelings to the other person in a moment of crisis.

“Looking at this, isn’t this the basic passive for parasitic humans?”

[It seems to have become dull after evolving into an underground person, but… It was definitely their racial trait.]

When they first entered the abyss, the parasitic humans in their primitive state communicated with each other not through language but through mental waves. It felt like all the parasitic humans were connected, almost like a colony.

Of course, I don’t think it will connect the senses to that extent, but it can be.

“Hmm. I don’t even want to feel the emotions of slaves or livestock.”

I chose to communicate.

‘Let’s see if it’s applied well.’

I listened out for a while to see if the miracles had worked.

“OMG!!! The dog speaks!!!!”

“Kyaaaaa!!!”

“Father!!! Why!!! Why would you commit suicide!!!!!”

There was already an uproar.

I’m going crazy. Narak fell into great chaos. Well, it’s strange that animals and plants are suddenly talking, and old people are choosing to commit mass suicide.

Babies to be born here soon will be born in excellent physical condition, and mutants will begin to appear among livestock.

‘For a moment. This is a blessing… Is it?’

It seems that something has thrown the society into a cataclysm. Why? I was obviously trying to be a boon to my followers… But what caused the confusion?

‘Whether I do good or bad…’

Because I am the apostle of calamity. Yes, until they accept it properly, my blessings are practically catastrophic.

‘If you adapt, it will surely be a great blessing. Accept it, slave people.’

When you come back in a few days, you will be perfectly adapted.

Because time passes differently than outside. Let’s choose the next miracle. There is a lot to do.

[Sorting personnel: Intruders who are not approved by a bishop-level or higher will be immediately discovered.]

[Outlaw Zone: If you violate the unwritten rule within the sanctuary, your location will be immediately discovered by bishops or higher.]

“Is it a source blockade? Or do you take it out hmm.”

This is a pretty novel miracle. Moreover, it is also a miracle that reminds me of the problems of Narak that I hadn’t been thinking about.

First of all, if you choose a select person, it will be virtually impossible to break into the sanctuary unless you and the bishops you designate approve it. The moment you enter, you will be immediately seen.

However, the downside is that it is quite cumbersome to approve each one. At least two bishops will have to be elected to manage entry and exit.

On the other hand, anyone can enter the lawless zone, but if they violate the unwritten rules I have set, they will be immediately detected.

And this unwritten law is a secret. The other person doesn’t know what rules I’ve set up.

‘Both are miracles to see through problem children. And because of this miracle… I now saw through one of Hell’s problems.’

In Hell, people are born and die every day. It is difficult to enslave even a newborn baby. The same goes for livestock.

However, the only people in our camp who have the enslavement skill are me and Ha Jin-seong. Even Ha Jin-seong is busy working back and forth between the black market and base, and is about to die.

If Ha Jin-seong is away for a few days, it is likely that months or even years have passed in Hell. The scenery I’m seeing right now could change drastically in a few days.

In short, as long as pregnancy and childbirth are not prevented, the population of Hell will continue to increase, and there will be a huge number of people who are not branded as slaves.

There will already be many We have tied it to religion. Thanks to this, there is a corner where the current hell can turn autonomously to some extent. Under the religion of Manbokgyo.

Whatever it is, like it or not, right now it’s hard to see all the residents of the Sanctuary as 100% my slaves. Moreover, there must be some who cleverly avoided their eyes and did not brand themselves as slaves.

Thus, an environment was created in which something could intervene in these small gaps.

That’s Naraku’s problem.

The problem is that everyone who belongs to the Maw has not been branded as a slave.

‘Above all, it’s not something I can’t do if I’m determined and try to hide.’

Because the world is wide

Also, because the Pantheon doesn’t know what to do now.

[If you choose the number of people to be screened, it should be considered that a barrier is placed in the sanctuary.]

“It means you can’t come in from the outside without permission… Hell is already a closed world.”

Hell is a limited space. There is no place to be called outside. Because it’s underground.

That’s why I have to choose the lawless zone.

‘Above all, it is impossible for the screening personnel to grasp the existence that has already entered, and it is difficult to rule out the possibility that they secretly hid inside the abyss while Ha Jin-seong and I were away.’

The same goes for spawning inside sanctuaries.

The sanctuary I designated is Nara. Hell can be invaded by anyone with an item called Cracked Ankh.

Of course, the cracked ankh itself is an extremely rare item, but the opponent is a fusion of the Pantheon, the Mangwi, and neutral gods.

The causal rate may be lower than the current Manma War, but the item is another story.

I’ll be able to find any number of cracked ankhs.

If you pierce the entrance to Hell with it, you can bypass the barriers surrounding the sanctuary and create a path directly inside.

‘There’s no way that the crazy sages of the pantheon, who are completely blind and even replace gods, can’t find a cracked ankh.’

I’m going to try to break in unconditionally and shake the fuck. So the number of people selected is virtually meaningless. If the Pantheonists intervene, it wouldn’t be a problem to directly invade the inside of the barrier.

So, I think it would be better to create an unwritten rule that even the enemies don’t know about and use it to detect the enemy’s existence right away.

The bishops can share power with me, so I can leave the safety of the Maw to them.

“Good. Go to the lawless zone.”

[Determine the unwritten rule.]

“Hmm.”

I pondered for a while.

What are some good rules for finding out those who might be a danger to the Maw?

“If you limit the scope to Manshinjeon and Mangwijeon, they will definitely put people outside the designated range. This is also a problem.”

[It must be important to figure it out first without being noticed by the other person. Absolute spy! It’s gonna be fun! Right?]

“I hate espionage. Noir too.”

[Ah.]

The range to filter out is important. Should I narrow down the range with those who have transformed into underground people? Or should I catch and kill those who communicate with outside beings?

“Those who enter the Maw will voluntarily be branded as slaves.”

Okay, let’s go back to the beginning and check those who don’t have the slave label lightly.

[Unwritten rules apply.]

In an instant, an unwritten rule spread throughout the sanctuary.

“This.”

Thousands of coordinates came into my head. Quite a headache.

[Too many?]

“That’s a lot.”

There were too many guys who didn’t take the label of slavery more than I thought.

Not all of them can be considered potential criminals. As I said before, it is highly likely that they did not receive the label because there was no one to brand them as slaves.

Those born while Ha Jin-seong was absent from the Hell cannot be branded as slaves.

I’ll have to order this later through Hajinseong to do some maintenance of the slave brand again. If you reduce the number one by one like that, you will definitely catch the real ones.

‘Okay, this is the unwritten rule.’

I set the odds ratio. If you replace Ha Jin-seong, peace will come to Hell. Great.

Now, the last miracle remains. Just take this and go straight to Franken’s Evolution Lab.

No matter how much Narak is a place where you can spend your time on a spree, there’s nothing wrong with moving quickly.

[Revenge Blood Battle: Sacrificing the residents of the sanctuary to create a vengeance demon to punish those who damage the sanctuary.]

[Hate Chain: Sacrifices the inhabitants of the sanctuary to launch flesh towards those who harmed the sanctuary.]

“Do you make a team in charge? Or is it a big one with a long range attack that cannot be counterattacked?”

If you create a vendetta to catch and kill the one who caused damage to the sanctuary, the vendetta will track down the target and take revenge.

“I can definitely determine the location of the enemy.”

Whether or not the revenge demon succeeds, the location will be known. Then you can use the multiple demons to track down your enemies.

Conversely, flinging flesh can cause immediate damage, but positioning is impossible. It’s literally shooting flesh in the hopes that the enemy will find it.

‘It’s a difference in taste.’

It will be difficult, but you can choose whether to go there yourself and thoroughly grind it, or get revenge comfortably by hiding yourself in the corner of the room.

“Hmm.”

This one was a bit difficult to choose. I like to eat raw. I want to harass the other person by throwing away weight in the corner of the room.. But I also want to go there and burst the thrush.

In other words, it’s a choice you can choose according to your taste.

“The real revenge is to go and defeat him.”

[Hey, by the way, I heard it was a mage class earlier? Why do you think you’re always beating or hitting someone? The mindset is completely martial…]

“Paimon. Are you questioning me now? You? Dare?”

[Oh no! That, just out of curiosity…]

I ignored Paimon’s words.

From a certain point on, I’m only engaged in hand-to-hand combat, but in fact, my essence is the apostle of Manma War, the leader of the heretics. An apostle has been a mage since ancient times, and all of my skills are biased toward cheating magic.

It’s just that the body is a little stronger.

[Faith Level: 7]
[List of Miracles]
[Strong body]
[Artisan appearance]
[Conviction of Confidence]
[Mutation]
[Communication]
[Lawless Zone]
[Multiple Thrombosis]

Anyway, with this, all the miracles were settled.

By the way, the outside is now a mess. The inhabitants of the Maw must be trembling in fear. Because suddenly their world started to change.

It feels like being a god. I just put a value on the future and invested a miracle, but the locals are going through the prelude to a catastrophe.

Funny.

“Then let’s go.”

[Yes!]

[Oh oh.]

I crossed the gate with Paimon, who always answered me, and Zerakiel, who seemed to be full of will for the first time in a long time.

The destination, of course, is Franken’s laboratory.

We entered the ‘evolution lab’.
