## Chapter 1374 – Cheonma Shin-Gyo (Heavenly Demon Church)
Returning home, I announced the founding of the Cheonma Shin-gyo.
“No, way!!! A religion that worships Katt!!!!”
“Kyaaaa! What do we do, Cloudy!!! What do we do!!!”
“I don’t knooooow!!!”
Cloudy and Hilde jumped up and down, then hugged each other, spinning and dancing with rapid, pattering feet. The two women’s joyful screams echoed.
I laughed, watching the scene.
“Hahahaha!!”
Of course, the other women, except for Cloudy and Hilde, were just gaping in astonishment. They seemed to be in a state of shock from the sheer surprise.
“…Really?”
Karin, the first to regain her senses, asked with a dazed expression.
“Sis, would I lie about something like this?”
“No… but still. A religion has already been established in the capital, one that worships you? And on such a huge scale?”
“I’m telling you, it’s true. Sis, don’t you believe it?”
—Boobi boobi.
To pressure Karin, I lowered my head and rubbed my crown against her neck, rotating it as I said,
“Don’t you still know me? Haven’t you felt the class of Kim Katt yet?”
“Hey, hey, hey! It tickles! It tickles, you jerk!”
“Haven’t you felt it?”
“Ah, of course, I feel it!”
Good.
I immediately stopped the pressure.
“That bastard always plays weird pranks…”
Karin, her face flushed, rubbed the back of her neck and avoided my gaze. Did that just stimulate her a bit? I wasn’t sure, but I stared at her with a stern, serious, and solemn face.
“Ah, hey. Sorry. I said I’m sorry. Of course, I know you really well. I mean, logically thinking, it wouldn’t be strange at all for a religion to spring up that worships you.”
Karin crossed her arms and said with her eyes closed.
“And?”
“It’s just… how should I put it? This older sister has seen you since you were a nobody, right? So, I always think of that.”
Is that why she was so excessively surprised?
A large-scale religion worshipping me has appeared. But Karin has the image of me as a nobody etched in her mind.
“I’m not the same as I was back then.”
“You’re not? To this older sister, you’re pretty much the same. And damn, you’re always singing weird songs, doing strange dances, and screaming at the top of your lungs, so the fact that someone like that is becoming an object of worship…”
This is an unfair assessment!!!
Just as I was about to scold her,
“Haa, I don’t know. Hey! Hurry!”
“Ah, yes! Karin-nim!”
The moment Karin shouted, they rushed at me and started grabbing my body.
—Hwaak!
My body was thrown into the air.
That’s right.
It was a celebratory toss.
“Katt-nim!!! Hooray!!!”
“Hooray!!!”
The feeling of floating in the air was truly wonderful. The women who approached me praised me with smiles. Where else could there be such a good thing?
Right… Mother. I’ve become the leader of a religious group. Beyond that, I’ve become a god… But why, when I try to think of Mom’s face, can I only think of Cloudy?
After being tossed around for quite a while, I lay down, resting my head on Cloudy’s lap. It felt like resting on a cloud.
“Blackie? But did you really name it Cheonma Shin-gyo?”
“Yeah. Without a moment’s hesitation.”
I briefly told them the story.
Overall, they all seemed to like it, but Winia seemed to have some dissatisfaction. She was grumbling that there could be a cooler name.
Of course, Cheonma Shin-gyo is the coolest.
“Katt. But why didn’t you call it Katt-gyo? It’s such a shame.”
“Hehehe, if I called it Katt-gyo, my name would seem too cheap.”
“That’s what you mean!”
“But Katt-gyo is okay too. Should I change it?”
“Hehehe, no. Cheonma Shin-gyo is cool enough. Haa… So, Katt has really become like that now.”
Cloudy murmured quietly, stroking my cheek.
Cloudy is feeling very deeply satisfied with my growth. As she has always been. This is truly a mother’s heart.
“You’ve grown so much, yes. Katt has grown up now.”
“No. You’re only saying I’ve grown up now?”
If you’re only saying I’ve grown up now, then the upper limit of the word “grown up” is too high, isn’t it? That would mean I’m the only person in this world who has grown up.
“But Cloudy, I’m still growing. To even greater heights.”
“Katt…! You’re really the best. Katt, you’re so cool.”
She looked down at me with a face full of pride, massaging my face with her hands. I enjoyed that time.
“Still, Kadia is so good at things like being a saintess. I’ve felt it before, but her skills are truly amazing.”
Liztina praised Kadia with admiration.
“I know, right? I didn’t think she’d have done so much already. Ah. By the way, she told me to come in a few days to do that thing?”
“What is it?”
“She wants me to give a speech in front of the followers.”
“A speech…?”
The moment she expressed her doubt,
“A speech!!! Is Katt-nim going to give a speech!!! In front of the followers!!!”
Hilde shouted.
“That’s right.”
That’s what I’m going to do.
“Katt is really good at that, isn’t he?”
“Well, Blackie is really good at giving speeches while shouting. Sis, do you remember that thing from the old days? The heretic stew or whatever it was.”
“Yeah. Of course, I remember. Katt was really good at talking even back then. Everyone did that because they listened to Katt, right?”
“It’s still funny, really.”
Those who believe in themselves are bound to be good at speaking.
“Hehehe, now I have to deliver my gospel to the followers who truly worship me, not just pretend.”
“Katt-nim…! That sounds so cool!! I want to go too!! Me too!”
“We’re all going. Do you want to sit in the VIP seats? Or stand behind me? It’ll feel very sacred to say you’re someone who’s received my power.”
“Both sound good!!!”
Hilde was very excited.
“Katt? Then what about the clothes? What should we do about the clothes? Shouldn’t you wear something like a priest’s robe?”
“Oh. That’s a good idea too.”
Certainly. If I’ve started a religion, I need to pay attention to the clothing as well.
“Should we decide on something like a uniform for the followers too?”
“Blackie? I don’t think revealing clothes would be a good idea.”
“Winia? Why are revealing clothes coming up?”
“Blackie loves dressing people in revealing clothes. He’s going to designate outfits and make the women wear some kind of flimsy underwear…”
“No! I wouldn’t do that!”
I wouldn’t want to do that to the followers, and only I can see my women in revealing clothes!
* * *
Anyway, there’s something I need to do.
“Here it is.”
The draft of the Fusion Confucian scripture that I was going to distribute to everyone in the prison. It was buried in the corner of the warehouse, covered in dust.
“I need to revise it… *sniffle*.”
A sudden surge of emotion.
“…!”
I covered my mouth with my hand.
Just holding this made my chest feel inexplicably full. Yes. Everyone in the prison. You shouldn’t have died like that. You should have atoned and disappeared after suffering a little more.
I regret that so much.
“Such a tragedy shouldn’t happen again.”
I will make sure that never happens.
—Whirrrrr!
The scripture was engulfed in white flames. All the dust burned away. From now on, I will begin the work of creating the revised edition of Fusion Confucianism.
“Fusion Confucianism is an ideology for humanity. An ideology that benefits the human world.”
The hand holding the pen was unstoppable.
As a seeker of truth, Kim Katt wandered the world and built up my ideology. Organizing the thoughts swirling in my head was not a difficult task.
“What is evil, and who defines that evil?”
As I said, the subject of everything is me.
I am also the one who defines evil. An individual defining evil? Nonsense. It’s like trying to stand alone against the sky.
But I am Cheonma.
Cheonma can do that.
—Scritch scritch.
I wrote the revised edition of Fusion Confucianism without stopping.
The thought of using this to educate the followers made my motivation explode.
* * *
Finally, the day Kadia mentioned arrived.
“Well, our Cheonma is very, very good at speaking. I believe he will do well. There won’t be many people who can’t sympathize with his correct thoughts and firm sense of justice. And humans become even more enthusiastic when they think that what their idol says is logical and reasonable.”
Kadia said, grabbing my shoulder as if to make a final confirmation.
“Don’t worry. Speeches and stages, things like that are my specialty. I told you, I’m entertainer Kim Katt.”
“I can’t even guess how many titles he gives himself. Anyway. I’m not worried. Cheonma is that kind of man.”
“Believe in me.”
“I believe in you from the bottom of my heart.”
There are many performance venues in the capital.
These large venues can, of course, be rented. There are many entertainers in the capital, and they plan performances, rent venues, perform, and make profits.
The venue Kadia rented was one of those.
A fairly large venue.
I will give a speech there.
“Originally, I was going to rent the Great Arena, but it has a very strong scent of the dance singer Paladin. People who stand there will feel heat rather than reverence. From a religious point of view, reverence is better than that kind of enthusiasm.”
“Well, that’s true too. Now that you’ve become Cheonma, you need to shed the image of the captivating dance singer Kim Katt.”
“The praise sent to a god and the applause sent to a clown are different. Remember that.”
“Of course, I know that.”
Good advice.
“Kadia is so thoughtful.”
“…How much has this saintess been involved in this kind of work?”
“More than my age?”
“Shut up.”
“Yes.”
Anyway, this rented venue was very large. Very large.
There was a semi-circular stage right in front of the wall, and a flat floor without chairs underneath. Behind that, there were tiered seats.
Rich people sat in the tiered seats in the back, and poor people just stood on the flat ground below. Due to this structure, this venue had an especially large capacity.
“What about the others?”
“I gave them VIP seats. Originally, I was going to have them stand behind me since they’ve received my power, but our religious attire hasn’t been decided yet, right? So, I’m going to save showing them off at official events for later.”
“Hoo… Attire. I had forgotten about that. I’ll keep it in mind.”
“Find some amazing clothing designers.”
“I understand. Well, then. It’s about to start.”
“It seems so.”
Kadia went outside the waiting room first. Soon, she will go on stage and give some kind of mass to the followers. I can go in a little while.
I could feel with my senses that a lot of people had already gathered… As I was sitting on the sofa, killing time,
—Squeak.
A woman opened the door and came in.
“It’s time.”
“Ah… yes.”
The woman immediately bowed to me. I ordered her to take care of things and walked down the hallway to the outside.
“Hmm.”
I didn’t go straight into the venue. That’s because I instinctively realized how I should appear in this large venue to have an impact.
“I can’t just appear.”
—Poof.
With a light jump, I headed to the roof of the venue.
And.
—Kugung
Lightly. Very simply. I stepped on the Cheonma Gunrimbo and created a hole of the appropriate size in the ceiling, and at the same time!!!
“Breaking through the ceiling.”
—Hwaaaaaa!!
After shooting a beam of light towards the hole.
—Paaat!
As is.
“I descend from there.”
I jumped through the hole with my wings spread.
—Hwaaaaaa!!
The moment I entered, the dark interior of the venue lit up brightly. Not a single shattered fragment fell to the floor. As if gravity had reversed, they slowly rose upwards. Did you think I would just leave such dangerous things when breaking through the ceiling?
“…!”
“…!”
“…!”
There were.
Really a lot of people.
Roughly, there were over a thousand people. All their gazes were fixed on me, descending from the sky. Kadia was right below me. I ended up appearing above her head.
—Whoosh.
After descending to a certain point, I maintained a state of levitation and looked at the followers.
“…”
There was a moment of silence.
And.
“Ah, ah…!”
“Aaaaah!”
“Ah…!”
Everyone gathered in the venue.
Knelt down and bowed their heads.
Followers worshipping God.
There were over a thousand people gathered, but it was eerily quiet.
In that venue.
“I am your god. Cheonma.”
My voice echoed.
“Raise your heads.”
At my command, everyone raised their heads and looked up at me.
“The sky refers to the existing world.”
I said quietly, emitting light.
“This existing world is a world that could not cut out the evil beings. Of course, there was a will. The king. The nobles. The priests. And the good people gathered here. They all wanted to drive out the evil ones and fight the demons.”
The followers were just focused on my words.
“But it was not enough.”
Adjusting my intonation.
“They could not completely drive them out!!!”
Judging the pauses in my words…!
“But I!!! This Cheonma, who was human but has been reborn as a god!!!”
I shouted intensely!
“I will change that world!!! I will cut out the evil beings!! I will change the existing world!!! That is why I am Cheonma!!!!”
Then.
“Oh, oh…!”
“Oooooooooooo!!!”
“Woooooooooooooooo!!!”
People who had somehow risen from their seats. They raised their fists and shouted, this is exaltation! The followers are being exalted by my speech! And this Cheonma, who is skilled in speeches, knows how to capture this atmosphere!!!
“Do you believe in!!!”
—Cheonma!!!!!!!!!
The moment the exploded volume filled the venue!!!
“This me!!!!!!!!”
Miracles are realized!!!
“Be, be!!!”
“We believe!!!”
“We believe!!!!!”
We believe!!!
“Your voices are too quiet!!! Do you believe in!!! This me!!! This Cheonma!!!!!! Followers!!!”
“We, we believe!!!!”
“We believe!!!”
“We believe!!!!!!! Oooooooo!!!”
“Your voices are too quiet!!! Everyone!!!!!!”
The moment I shouted and raised both arms!!!
—We believe!!!!!!!!
—We believe!!!!!!!!
—We believe!!!!!!!!
—We believe!!!!!!!!
—We believe!!!!!!!!
The shouts of the exploding followers engulfed the venue.
And with the followers, exalted by my speech, bursting out with that supreme belief.
—Pukwaaaaaang!
I exploded white flames from behind my back, creating a sense of divinity!!!
“Do you!!!! Believe!!!! In me!!!!”
—We believe!!!!!!!!
—We believe!!!!!!!!
—We believe!!!!!!!!
—We believe!!!!!!!!
—We believe!!!!!!!!
—We believe!!!!!!!!
But if someone saw this, they might misunderstand it as a cult.
