Chapter 573 – Internal Strife? #2

Tuk.

A leaf that moves up and down when you touch it with your fingertips.
As I looked up at the beautiful tree standing tall on the grass, which was fine despite all the chaos, I aroused my spirits.

Gooooo…!

Then, a huge tree so large that it could never be seen even on Earth or the planet Erandel was uprooted and completely destroyed.

It is said that it was a tree planted by Rosario himself, who lived in that place for a very long time until many gods were born.
The sacred tree, which contained greater divine power than most lesser gods, was destroyed in this way.

Even though the tree, which could have been a spiritual solace for many gods, disappeared, the goddesses who were reborn by injecting pomegranate did not blink.
Rather, I viewed my actions as an event performed by the new master of heaven.

I knew it without even having to say it.
This was because the pomegranate, which could be said to be the crystallization of my malice, entered the body of the goddess, and it connected my head with a string, showing what kind of hearts they had and what they were thinking.
Excluding the wives, subordinates who could be considered true family members were born.

In the case of believers who worshiped the fallen goddess, they would naturally have been influenced, and the person who would inherit the energy of the goddess and serve them would have changed into me.
The proof was the magnificent demon energy within me right now.

‘That’s incredible.’

I just fed them pomegranates, but this much…
The world of the gods is truly unknowable.

In the case of some planets ruled by humans, it seems that there was great confusion as they worshiped the goddess but suddenly developed faith in me.
For example, a planet that serves two heavenly gods at the same time could have caused a situation where a former colleague would point a sword in the back.

It would be fun to watch it after conquering the heavens.
With that in mind, I sat on a dark throne made of magic and watched the actions of Venus and Diana as they approached, leading the reborn goddesses.

“Please forgive my rudeness so far. From now on, as your servants, we will do whatever you command us to do.”

Even though Rosario is still alive, she is the main god… It is a very pleasant sound to hear.
At the same time as Venus spoke, all the goddesses, including Diana, knelt and lowered their upper bodies.
Adoration that pledges complete obedience. When I saw that, one corner of my mouth went up.

From underground in Antarctica to here… I’ve come a long way.
There is only one step left, so let’s not be complacent here.

“Those who know more about God’s sanctuary, please come forward.”

At those words, a goddess who had been pressing her forehead against the floor suddenly stood up.

“You are… Ceres.”

Even if you don’t have to introduce yourself, you can know your name and what you’ve done so far.
I couldn’t say I was thorough enough to know all the information, but it is a very convenient ability.

“Yes, Lord. “I’m honored to have your name called.”

She is the god of death. From what I know now, Ceres is located somewhere between good and evil, so she was a goddess who could have become an evil deity.
Since she is a god who is directly related to life and holds an important position, it seems that Rosario placed Ceres in the good god category.

Although he has no power, he must know very much about the deaths of the gods.
She was injected with pomegranate before she could take refuge in the sanctuary.
I was very lucky.

“Explain.”

“As you know, the sanctuary is responsible for the resurrection, healing, and defense of the gods. It is a place where the energy of Rosario resides, and it is an area guarded by sanctuary guards who have received her blessings. The moment gods face physical death, they go to the sanctuary, but immediate resurrection is impossible. “It takes three days in celestial time.”

Adele says that in heaven, time passes a little slowly.
In that case, you can think of it as approximately four or five days in Earth time.

That’s enough time to conquer it.
Rather, I think we will have to wait for the resurrection of the dead gods.

“How strong is the sanctuary keeper?”

“It is very strong as it inherits Rosario’s direct abilities. “If you compare him to Borsalio, whom you fought, he won’t even be your opponent.”

I can also easily deal with Borsalio.
The proof is his defeat after competing with me.
Adding to the power given by the goddesses who were infused with pomegranates and the divine power of the believers within them, it felt like even a strong person in the heavenly world was no big deal.

“The sanctuary guardian must have used up a lot of energy putting up a protective shield around the sanctuary. “The Lord’s current strength will be enough to break through.”

I shook my head at Ceres’s next words and got up from the throne.
First, I’ll be near the sanctuary and wait a bit if Adel’s strategy works. If it doesn’t work, I’ll just push in.

“Guide me.”

“Yes.”

@@

The sanctuary had a very small proportion of goddesses, and the expressions of the gods within it were very stiff.

“This is what happened…”

Not only was the long-time peace broken and they were attacked by surprise, but more than half of the strong people who were supposed to be of great power were killed by evil spirits who used power never seen before.
Even Borsalio is no match, and even the gods who control knowledge, including Theodorus, have passed away.
I couldn’t figure out how to overcome it.

As long as the power of the main god, Rosario, is present, this place will be safe, but… I can’t guarantee that.
To the point of thinking that way, the current situation was so grim.
At the moment when the gods gathered in groups of threes and fives were resting helplessly in the huge fountain in the center.

“Hey.”

A god approached the sanctuary keeper, who had inserted his great sword into the large groove in the center of the fountain, and called out to him.
It was Anteros, the god of revenge.

Anteros, who had exhausted all his arrogance, stood close to the sanctuary keeper, who had an emotionless expression, and glared at him.
And then he said.

“I request a private meeting with the Lord.”

Then the sanctuary keeper shook his head resolutely.

“That’s not possible.”

“Why is the Lord still in the sanctuary?”

“As I said, I’m recovering.”

“Hundreds of years have already passed since we spoke of that damn recovery. Isn’t it time for you to reveal yourself? Moreover, it is beyond my head to understand that He remains silent even when such chaos is going on in the heavenly world.”

“I understand, but it is impossible.”

“Why? “Is there something that’s bothering us?”

His tone of voice was very aggressive.
So much so that other gods wonder why Anteros is acting like that.
It was because he didn’t know that he had heard shocking words from a small and cute evil spirit.

“Fix it.”

“Innoom!! Many goddesses in the heavens were betrayed by a new evil god resembling Helix, and all you’re saying is to fix them! Didn’t the Lord say a word about this situation!?”

“As the situation has become urgent, he will speak to me separately after he has figured it out.”

“It should be for us, not you! And there is no way that the Lord, who knows everything in the heavens, does not know about this situation. Nevertheless, the fact that you are not taking any action… Is interpreted as meaning that the gods of the heavenly world are not happy with you and are going to order an evil spirit to change things?”

The surrounding gods held their breath.
Rosario holds the position of the main deity of all gods, and her direct subordinate is the sanctuary keeper.
Although he can be said to be the best in heaven in terms of military power, the content was extremely shocking for a statement made to him who is considered to have inherited Rosario’s will.

Despite Anteros’ words, even the sanctuary guard, who had been staring straight ahead and not even raising an eyebrow, turned his head.

“This is an excessive speculation.”

A feeling of intimidation that comes out naturally.
Anteros was a little scared by that, but he didn’t back down.
I could sense that a lot of evil spirits from the lakeside were coming here, so if things continued like this, the heavenly world was going to be annihilated.

“A guess? “Does this mean that the Lord doesn’t know what’s going on?”

“You know.”

“But why haven’t you said anything! I understand that you don’t know much about the situation, but aren’t you God’s will? “Are you really telling us to solve the problem?”

“The malice felt at the lakeside is so powerful that it far surpasses any evil spirit I have ever seen. The Lord will also use His help soon. “If we protect the sanctuary, other gods will be resurrected, and the renegade goddesses will return under the power of the main god.”

It was a long story, but the conclusion is to hold on.
After hearing the sanctuary keeper’s explanation, Anteros’ anger rose to the top of her head.
At that time, Borsalio, who was swallowing his sleep, touched his shoulder.

“Calm down, Anteros.”

“Borsalio…! “The situation that has truly arisen now is…”

“I know. But is it possible? “Even the sanctuary guardians are unable to hear the Lord’s words.”

“Then doesn’t that mean my guess is correct! To be honest, heaven has been too peaceful for a long time. Did the gods step in to solve whatever happened on the planet they managed? “He was so busy playing that he just passed the responsibility onto the believers who served him.”

“So the Lord is angry?”

“Okay! The Lord may be thinking of placing new evil spirits in heaven through water changes. “Otherwise, there’s no way things could have progressed like this!”

“Are you trying to break into the main lord’s bed?”

“If necessary, then so be it. “If you get permission from the sanctuary keeper, you can see the main deity.”

“Look, Anteros. “We are the most…”

It was when Borsalio was about to say something to the frustrated Anteros.

Ugh…!

A brilliant golden glow spread out from the sanctuary keeper’s helmet, and his eyes snapped upward.
The gods’ eyes widened when they saw that.
This was because it meant that the main rosary would deliver a message through the sanctuary keeper.

Anteros’ mouth dropped open when he noticed that Rosario, who had been quiet for a long time, had moved.

“Lord, is the Lord appearing…?”

“… Well. “It seems like you’re trying to at least convey a message.”

Soon after, the sanctuary keeper’s halo disappeared.
At the same time, his blue eyes returned to their original position and looked at Anteros.

“This is a message from the Lord. Borsalio, the god of war, and Concordia, the goddess of harmony, please enter the main residence.”

“… What? “It’s not me…?”

“The Lord is waiting. The remaining gods, defend the sanctuary against the oncoming evil.”

Slam!

The Sanctuary Guardian stabbed the handle of his sword in reverse, deeper into the groove in the center of the fountain.
Then wow! With a sound, a protective shield covering a wide area was layered.
It was a complete defensive stance, abandoning the attack.

“It looks like the Lord may be moving soon. Anteros, you are overly excited right now. “The Lord is concerned that talking to you in your excitement will distort the message, so he is trying to let me and Concordia in.”

“…”

“When I return, I will be the first to tell you what I heard from the Lord.”

Borsalio, patting Anteros on the shoulder, followed the Sanctum Keeper’s energy shooting in one direction, with Concordia approaching with her light brown hair flowing.
And Anteros’ teeth gritted as he watched the two of them walking away.

“Damn…”

I feel like I’m being hated for some reason.

With that in mind, Anteros decided to follow the main lord’s message.
