## Chapter 1387 – 천마신교 (Cheonma Shin-Gyo – Demonic Heavenly Cult)

“I don’t know! Their common sense is too different! I wanted to help, but I couldn’t!”

Rarely showing such frustration, Cloudy screamed and hugged me tightly. Her ears were practically flapping, which was something else.

“Wait, their common sense is different?”
“Yeah. It’s really different… and it’s true.”

I immediately stroked Cloudy’s ears and head.

“I went to see for myself, and I really felt how different their common sense is.”
“You felt it directly? How different was it?”

There was no need to think about it.

It was perfectly natural that Cloudy’s common sense would be different.

Having lived in the Great Desert, where the law of the jungle prevailed, for over 100 years and acting according to that way of thinking, Cloudy was fundamentally different from the aristocratic women who had lived in this human kingdom.

Even the categories were different.

Cloudy was a desert warrior.

Karin, Liztina, and Winia were all daughters of nobles from the human kingdom. For them, paperwork and administrative tasks were perfectly normal and common sense.

But Cloudy?

“Um, the thing about working with documents… Mama still doesn’t really understand it.”

She wasn’t good at paperwork… but administrative work was a really specialized thing. It was something you could only do with a high-level education. Cloudy, who had lived in the desert slicing up dark elves and people, couldn’t do it.

The others could do it because they were nobles.

The average residents of this world weren’t very talented in that kind of work. Warriors were similar. In the end, sitting down and doing work was something that people who had learned how to do it did.

“Hehehe, so Cloudy was feeling down. Everyone else is good at administrative work, but you’re the only one who can’t do it, so you felt that way?”
“Yeah. I didn’t think I’d get depressed about something like this… It hurts, Katt. I’m upset.”
“It’s okay. Don’t worry about something like that. Cloudy is good at fighting.”
“Still, Katt. Everyone else is doing it together, but it feels like I’m the only one who can’t…”

Ari and Risha were also missing.

Well… if Risha said she would do it, she probably could.

But right now, she was focusing on more important magic, so she couldn’t do it. But I didn’t think Ari could do it either. She was smart, but I didn’t think she would be good at administrative work in the human world.

And Ari was currently practicing Dryad domination.

“Everyone has things they can’t do, Cloudy. And Cloudy is my woman. So you don’t have to worry about things like that. Just being the woman of this Cheonma is something Cloudy should be proud of.”

For example, I really can’t stand losing or failing.

“Of course, I’m proud of Katt.”
“But?”
“U-um… No, it’s okay. Thanks for saying that, Katt.”

Anyway, Cloudy buried her face in my neck and rubbed against me, as if trying to act spoiled. I really liked this kind of affection.

“Yeah, yeah. Cloudy is pretty.”
“…”

But Hilde seemed to be doing well there too.

Well, Hilde was so unique. She might be able to do it well. But in my opinion, Hilde was better suited to running the Cheonma Shin-gyo.

Kadia could be the Saintess, and Hilde could be the High Priestess. They would practically be the leaders of the cult. Actually, I can’t be the leader of the cult. I’m the god they worship, the god himself.

“But Cloudy? What if you learned something like administrative science?”

From the start, Cloudy didn’t lack any specs at all.

She just didn’t know it, but if she learned, she could probably do it perfectly. She was a celestial warrior, but now she had received my power and become half-deified, so all of her physical and mental abilities had been enhanced.

“Hmm… Administrative science?”
“Yeah. Cloudy could do well if she learned it too. Learning is the beginning of everything. You have to learn how to use a sword to know how to use it, right?”
“Well, that’s true, but…”

Was she understanding?

Cloudy bit my ear for a moment and joked around.

“Instead of spending time learning something like that, I’d rather think about Katt more.”
“Uwaaaaaaack!”

Mama!!!!!!!

“Kyaa!”
“Oooooh! Cloudy!!!”
“Katt!”

My heart fluttered, and I couldn’t help but hug Cloudy tightly and shake her! After shaking Cloudy for a long time, I said!

“Anyway, it’s okay! Cloudy is a warrior!”
“But Karin is also a warrior.”
“Karin is from a noble family here. It’s natural for her to do that kind of work. More than anything, it’s not a problem if you can’t do that kind of work. Cloudy should do what she can do.”
“What can Mama do?”
“Love me.”
“I’m confident in that!”

It seemed like Cloudy’s mood had improved a bit with this.

“Okay, Cloudy, let’s piggyback.”
“Okay!”

So I gave Cloudy a piggyback ride. Cloudy could do something symbolic instead of practical work.

Honestly, Karin, Liz-nuna, and Winia were really good at their jobs. I could entrust them with all the administrative problems. But not Cloudy. She had to do something different. If she wanted to, she didn’t have to do anything, but if she thought she couldn’t just play by herself, she had to come up with a plan.

* * *

“So our Ari was doing this?”
“Yes, Father.”

Ari replied in her usual calm tone.

But the things that were standing in front of her were different from usual. Five Dryads, taking a more disciplined posture, were standing there.

“…”
“…”
“…”

She was diligently training to dominate these green things… Huh?

“Huh? What is it?”

But somehow, they were a little different from the green things I had always seen.

Originally, Dryads were female monsters with good figures and a skin color close to light green. But the ones standing in front of me looked a little different from them.

First of all, their skin color was quite similar to that of humans. In other words, the Dryads’ unique skin, which was close to light green, had become a little lighter. It had become so light that it wouldn’t be strange to say that it was real human skin if you took out a little more water from here.

And their height had also increased a little.

Moreover, it seemed like some emotions were showing on their faces. What was this?

“Ari? Are these guys a little different?”
“Ah, yes, Father. I was trying out an experiment to strengthen the Dryads.”
“An experiment to strengthen them!!!”

Surprised, I shouted, and Ari calmly explained.

Right now, Ari was working on strengthening the Dryads’ abilities! She had made quite a bit of progress, and the Dryads had evolved like that!

“And I think they can speak a little too.”
“What!”

The moment Ari gave a look.

“A, ah… Uh… I will, obey, the order. Master…”

The Dryad bared its fangs and awkwardly spat out the words…!

“A green thing is talking!”

Instead of making the usual rustling sound, it actually spoke…! This was an incredible level of progress! I could only feel admiration and amazement.

“Good job! Good job, Ari! You’re so admirable! Our Ari!”

I immediately reached out and ruffled Ari’s hair. Ari just closed her eyes and rubbed her head, as if enjoying my touch.

Such power enhancement!

I didn’t really like the green skin of those Dryads. It was really like Shrek, wasn’t it? What was with the green? But if their skin color was the same as humans, it would be fun to use them.

“A-and, I’m also hearing about this… the large-scale farmland development.”
“Heok!”

Ari brought up that story to me, who was moved.

Of course, the story about that farmland was also being discussed right now. Of course, there were plans to make it all, and I was thinking of borrowing Ari’s power, but I didn’t want to overwork her. It was only a limited part.

“Honestly, I’ve never done it before, and I don’t know how strong my power is, but… I think I can do it enough.”
“Yeah. Let’s just do that, our Ari.”

I was really touched.

But could Ari cover hundreds of thousands of hectares? I had never done it before, but I had to try it. No. But more important than that was the ability to grow these plants. If I could somehow explain that technology well, we might be able to use it.

“Amplifying the growth of plants is a kind of instinct… I don’t really know the principle.”
“Really?”

Well, people live while thinking, but they don’t really know how to use neurons. It’s natural.

“Well, right now, the Dryads are a more important problem. About how many do you think you can control now?”
“I think I can dominate about a hundred without any problems.”
“That’s about the level of a company.”

But that’s also what the company commander does.

“No. Our Ari can dominate a battalion level. You just haven’t done it yet. Actually, it’s a little difficult to get Dryads, right?”

Ari had never commanded a large number of Dryads before.

“Ah…”
“Ari. Trust my power. You can do it all with your current power. You just haven’t done it yet.”
“Yes…”
“Let’s go make them right away when the time comes. Until then, keep practicing.”

Ari listened to my praise as if she was in a good mood.

“But Ari? How did you strengthen the Dryads?”
“I tried a lot of things, but in the end, the Dryads are my slaves.”

That’s right.

“I made them absorb my power.”
“How?”

Like I gave them baptism?

“Like this.”

Ari said that and raised her hand. Then, beautiful flowers bloomed on the palm of her hand. The flowers looked quite delicious. There was a lot of honey-like liquid inside the petals.

Ah.

Since she was an Alraune, she could make something similar to an elixir and pass it on like this?

“It’s a kind of elixir.”
“It looks like it. It contains nutrients that help the Dryads grow.”
“Hehehe, that’s right.”

Ari smiled as if she was in a good mood when I guessed right.

“But what’s the ingredient?”
“Maybe it’s not much different from the breast milk that Father drinks every day…”
“What!!!!!!!”

What was this sound!!!

“Say it again!”
“Yes? Maybe the ingredients are not much different from the breast milk that Father drinks…”
“No!!!”

This is!!!

Unforgivable lehu!!!!

“That’s all mine! I can’t give it to Dryads or anything!!!”

There’s no way I’m going to give it away just because it’s a little profitable…! Drinking a glass of Ari’s milk every morning is my own privilege!

I grabbed Ari’s shoulders tightly, shouting strongly with that meaning.

“A, ah…”

Ari blushed and lowered her head.

“I-if that’s the case, I’ll find another way… But Father. The ingredients are similar, but I didn’t use what I gave to Father.”
“…”
“I’m sorry. Father. It’s my fault. Please forgive me.”

Soon, Ari bowed to me and apologized.

“No. Ari. It’s not that.”

Seeing Ari apologizing while feeling sorry, my heart felt heavy.

If the two are similar… aren’t they the same? No. No, they’re not. Similar is not the same. Ari is an Alraune. She can bloom plants and create honey-like things unique to flowers.

Breast milk is exactly that.

It’s just that it has a similar effect.

“I’m sorry. I was surprised and shouted for a moment. It’s okay. You didn’t really give them breast milk, did you? So raise your head. Don’t be sorry.”
“Is it okay?”
“It’s better than Ari being sorry. Well, work hard as usual. Ari.”
“Yes.”
“Then shall we enjoy a little tea time?”
“I’ll bring a cup.”
“I’ll just drink it.”

I opened Ari’s bra in front of the Dryads.

Anyway, after that day, everything gained momentum. The completion of the warp gate was such a groundbreaking event.

We went back and forth between the capital and the fortress, executing tasks in real time, and carried out all the tasks without any problems.

Kadia, Karin, Liz-nuna, Winia, and Hilde. With these semi-divine women gathered in one place, promoting the business and making final decisions without any time delay, it was inevitable that it would happen naturally.

I smoothly carried out the terrain change work while playing the role of the god of the Cheonma Shin-gyo. At the same time, I also received requests from other nobles to destroy mountains or help develop mines. I also listened to the requests of the Karga royal family.

As those days passed, the basic construction began before I knew it. This basic construction, starting from around my aerial fortress, was the prelude to the beautiful planned city that the architects had dreamed of.

If some buildings were built, then it could be called the capital. Of course, the pre-sale rights were also selling like hotcakes right now. Kadia was also good at selling real estate.

Anyway, when the capital is built, I have to arrange some forests around it and create large-scale farmland in a suitable location. And if I make all the road networks neatly, it will be perfect.

Then shall we hear the report?

“Hey, hey. Hey, where’s the construction worker? Tell the construction worker to come.”

ㅡTtaeng!

“Ack!”

I smacked the head of the demon crew member.
