## Chapter 1376 – The Heavenly Demon Divine Cult

“Waaaaaaaah!!!!”

And so, my speech concluded with great success.

This was my first time officially, as a god, giving a public lecture, but as always, the first time was the most important.

I’m confident that everyone clearly understood what kind of god this Heavenly Demon Kim Kat is, and what the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult is all about.

Basically, Fusion Confucianism is a philosophy that’s very easy for ordinary people to accept. I know this because I created it myself.

It rejects evil acts that harm oneself or the community’s safety. Ordinary people don’t particularly like wielding violence, nor do they like being assaulted. They dislike causing trouble for others as much as they dislike being troubled. Fusion Confucianism safeguards both of these things.

The rejection of evil, the establishment of a proper moral consciousness, and self-defense.

I also really like the concept of a fair duel or a justified killing… but let’s educate them on that later. Anyway, the point is that Fusion Confucianism is easy for everyone to understand, so it’s easy to accept.

“We believe!!!”
“We believe!!!”
“We believe!!!”

There’s fanaticism within that fervor, and that fanaticism will benefit this world. There are good fanatics and bad fanatics. Let’s make them good fanatics.

“Then, believers! Let’s meet again next time!”

ㅡWhoosh!

Anyway, after finishing my greetings, I flew back up through the hole in the ceiling. After getting outside, I returned to the waiting room from earlier.

“Whew, damn.”

I did a damn good job.

Even I think I nailed the first step. If this rumor spreads and spreads, my power will grow exponentially.

I need to mass-produce Fusion Confucianism scriptures quickly. That way, the scriptures will spread along with the rumors. Just the fact that a genuine demigod wrote it will make it very popular, and then it will literally become the leader of the latest trend.

I need to finish editing quickly.

“…”

Currently, Kadia hadn’t arrived yet. Still, she’s in a position similar to a religious leader, so she probably has some final things to wrap up.

I sat on the sofa and waited for her to come.

ㅡCreak.

After some time, Kadia entered.

“Kadia? You’re here?”
“Ah, you did very well. When you first broke through the ceiling and appeared, I wondered what would happen… but it was truly perfect.”

Kadia said with a very pleased expression. It seemed she liked my speech.

“Hehehe, well, who else would be doing it?”

Of course, it was going to be perfect.

“I was genuinely impressed. It was a very passionate speech. Have you ever done something like this before? No, you’re from the Mirkesha tribe. Are you perhaps from a priestly lineage?”

My dad is a bit of a weirdo, but a priest… no. He was so obsessed with holiday rituals that it felt bizarre and grotesque, so even if he was a priest, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

“Not really. Just understand that it’s because I’m a born being.”
“Indeed… just as you say. Anyway, I didn’t think you’d be able to handle it so skillfully. The Holy Maiden herself is ashamed that she was worried you might suddenly start dancing or singing or something.”

No, were you worried about that?

“In that place, I’m not a dancer, but a god. I have that awareness.”
“Hmph, yes. I was so proud. Certainly… there’s never been a place like that before. You educated the believers very skillfully.”
“Right?”

I approached Kadia, reached out, and stroked her cheeks and ears.

“My center is very firm. And absolute. So, just keep doing well in the position of Holy Maiden. You can do it, right?”
“…Of course. Whose orders would I disobey?”
“Hehehe, my Kadia is so pretty.”
“…”
“Let’s go, then. Everyone’s waiting.”
“Come to think of it, they were all sitting in the special seats.”
“Yeah. Let’s all go eat something good over there.”

I immediately went outside with Kadia. The other girls were watching my speech from the special seats, and I told them to return to our house when it was over.

The fortress has become our base now, but that doesn’t mean we’ve abandoned the house in the capital. I guess we can go out to eat together.

* * *

“Just listening to him, he seems normal, doesn’t he?”

Karin said while cutting her steak. With a single knife stroke, the steak was cut into twenty pieces, making it the perfect size to eat with a fork.

“No. Even so, he’s not normal. He’s extraordinary. He did so well, didn’t he?”
“Ah, well, that’s true. It was unimaginable that he wouldn’t dance or sing like he usually does, right? He speaks so well. I thought he would definitely dance, but he didn’t.”

Karin continued to express her amazement while chewing on her steak.

“Hmph, the Holy Maiden thought so too. I was worried he might suddenly start dancing.”
“It’s almost strange that he didn’t do it.”

Starting with Kadia’s agreement, everyone sent me similar glances. These women think I dance whenever I do anything.

“No. Am I a dancer or something?”
“You are. Isn’t that right?”
“That’s true, but I obviously distinguish the time and place. I didn’t go there as a dancer, but as the Heavenly Demon.”
“A black Heavenly Demon Dancer?”
“I don’t just do the Heavenly Demon Dancer. I do many things.”
“Then what’s the Heavenly Demon Dancer?”
“That’s a bit complicated to explain.”
“Bullshit.”
“No, not bullshit.”

Wienia’s sharp criticism was a bit difficult to answer. I’m not a man who’s so oblivious as to discuss philosophy at the dinner table.

“Hehehe, I really felt like a religious leader. You certainly have a talent for speech. Isn’t that charisma?”
“Yeah, that’s right. Kat has charisma. Really overflowing.”

Claudia, who was sitting next to me, stroked my head with a very satisfied expression.

“Hehehe, yeah. I have charisma. Honestly, there can’t be anyone in this world with as much charisma as me. I’m unique.”
“That’s exactly Kat-nim’s charm point. Natural charisma and eloquence to match…! He’s such a perfect man! You speak so well!”
“The black guy is originally very good at talking.”
“Wienia-nim! Do you think Kat-nim is only good at talking!”
“Ah! Hey, hey!”

Hilde quickly shouted, clasping her hands together with Wienia’s.

“That’s right, Wienia. You’re making it sound like I’m only good at talking. As you know, I’m good at everything. There’s nothing I can’t do.”
“Ah, I get it! Hilde, let go of this! Hand! Hand! Don’t rub it!”
“Yes!”

Only then did Hilde release her hands.

“That’s right! There’s nothing Kat-nim can’t do!”
“…Hmm? Ah. Come to think of it, there is one thing.”
“Yes? Kat-nim?”
“Kat? What’s that supposed to mean?”

I said, looking at their questioning faces.

“Losing. Come to think of it, I really can’t seem to lose, hahaha!”
“Ah…! No! Kat-nim! No! There’s one more thing!”
“Hmm? What is it?”
“That’s failing! Kat-nim really can’t fail!”
“That’s true too!! Hahaha!”
“Hehehehe!”

Ah, Hilde knows what’s up!

“Looking at him like that, it’s hard to match him with the one from earlier.”
“Honestly, I think so too. That playful appearance…”
“I agree. I think the Holy Maiden has similar sensibilities.”
“Hehe, it seems you have something in common.”
“No. Anyone would feel that way. Look at him, laughing like that.”

Unexpectedly, Kadia seemed to get along well with Lisztina too. From the start, Karin had a good atmosphere with Kadia because they were both from the Ka clan.

They poured each other wine and continued their conversation.

“Well, it was cool. It’s cool that you speak well, black guy.”
“Right?”

Wienia had no choice but to admit it.

“Anyway, Kat. There’s no one in this world who can give a speech like that except for Kat.”
“I think so too.”
“You’ve grown up so well. Now you just have to keep increasing the number of believers like that, right?”
“That’s what I have to do. And then declare the founding of the Heavenly Demon Divine Kingdom. If we designate the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult as the state religion, it’ll be perfect.”

I’ve already planned that far ahead.

The Heavenly Demon Divine Kingdom is a theocratic state ruled by this Kim Kat, with religion and politics united. Theocratic states on Earth collapsed because they couldn’t manage expanding societies, but there’s no impossibility for me, who possesses absolute power.

It’s even more authoritative than that.

Usually, such countries are ruled by clergy who are representatives of the gods, but here, a real god rules. Of course, there will be philosophical debates about what defines a god. However, all such debates hold no authority in the face of my power.

“It’ll be a really wonderful world. A world where everything goes according to Kat’s thoughts.”
“I’ll definitely show you that wonderful thing.”

I said that vision while drinking the wine they poured for me.

“But… no. Kat-nim.”

Then Aria said, looking at me.
She can’t call me Father when Kadia is around.

“When are you going back to the fortress? If you leave it empty for too long, those, the green goblins…”
“You said a week was okay last time, right?”
“Yes.”
“Don’t worry. I’m planning to go back from time to time.”

I’m a bit worried that there’s no one at the fortress right now. Still, I can go back and forth quickly now.

“I must complete that soon. If I do, entry and exit will become very simple.”
“Take your time, take your time. Don’t feel pressured.”
“How can I take my time when completion is already in sight?”

At those words, Kadia looked this way and said.

“What do you mean? Are you doing something?”
“That’s that. Gate magic. Our witch is absorbing the demons’ technology. It seems she’ll awaken gate magic soon?”

Karin answered that question.

“Oh? Gate magic… hmm? Come to think of it, Risha’s hair is silver?”
“…Wh, what’s that supposed to mean?”

No way!
No!

I quickly gave Hilde a look. At the same time, Hilde, who met my eyes, winked once and shouted.

“Anyway, it’s gate magic! I heard that even the ancient powerhouses couldn’t do something like that easily…! The demons really have outstanding technology!”

Hilde intentionally let the word “ancient” slip, and Kadia’s interest immediately turned that way.

“Come to think of it, Hildegard said she inherited the bloodline of an ancient angel. I was very surprised, but there hasn’t been a chance to talk about it. Would you tell me what happened?”
“Ah! That’s right! I’ll tell you everything!”

Thank you, Hilde.

I glanced at Risha’s face, and she was maintaining a stiff smile. I need to properly sort out this issue next time.

Anyway, we continued our meal and enjoyed drinking. This is the capital’s finest restaurant, and each of the menus we’re eating is very expensive, but there’s nothing to hold back.

“That’s right. So, the believers’ robes. What are you going to do about the believers’ robes?”

Then Lisztina asked that.

“Believers’ robes.”
“Ah, right. There was that. Black guy. Don’t you have to decide on the design?”
“I have to. I told Kadia about it last time, Kadia?”
“We are currently searching for a designer. The capital has a relatively developed fashion scene. There are quite a few experts who design clothes.”

They’re still searching.

“Wow. You really do everything? How many hours a day do you work?”
“Well… not that long. I’ve been doing it for a long time, so I have the knack.”

Lisztina showed interest in such business abilities.

“Anyway, Kadia. Once the designer search is complete, I should go and give my opinion.”
“Understood.”

Fashion is relatively developed here, but it feels a bit lacking to me, who grew up in modern Earth. I should recall that knowledge and decide on the design.

“Kat? So, what kind of clothes are you going to make?”
“I’m thinking of capturing both design and practicality at once.”
“Design and practicality.”
“I have an idea, if it’s practical, people who come to worship will wear it around normally, right? There’s nothing better than wearing it around normally.”

At those words, everyone nodded, saying “Ooh.”

“Certainly. That would be nice.”
“If everyone wears it, the number of those who naturally take an interest will increase.”
“That’s the power of fashion.”

I also have a plan to brand this Heavenly Demon Divine Cult as a kind of brand.

In other words, leading the trend.

A groundbreaking and innovative design that’s full of the feeling of modern Earth. Come to think of it, I haven’t used that kind of knowledge since coming to this world. Of course, I don’t have specialized skills or professorial-level scientific knowledge, so I couldn’t use anything. I still don’t know how to make soap, damn it. You can just buy it at the store. They have everything here.

But I’m different now.

I have a country, believers, power, and capital.

I am a god and the strongest.

In this situation, if I simply come up with ideas while squeezing and grinding the technicians, I might be able to imitate the technology of modern Earth.

No.

It’s clear that I’ll be able to realize it.
