## Chapter 1473 – Heavenly Demon Kim Kat

I immediately explained to them what I had experienced.

The first thing I explained was meeting the Outer God and being asked what they thought of humans. Verde had answered that question. Well, after reciting their history first.

Anyway, the Outer Gods when they were first summoned were beings that lived almost entirely on instinct. Writhing from beyond the outer reaches of space. Just powerful beasts.

The summoned Outer Gods gradually awakened their egos by devouring the souls of the Titans. After gaining some reason, they destroyed the difficult-to-handle Titans and decided to raise the humans who worshipped them.

“And… they realized that it was more enjoyable to eat the souls of priests who worshipped them and felt joy, rather than souls filled with pain and anger.”

When the Outer Gods devoured the souls of the Titans, there were mostly beings with such negative emotions. But after nominally becoming the saviors of humans, the souls of humans they tasted were sweeter than anything else.

As I explained that,

“Ugh, ugh…! Ugh, ugh…!”
“Kuh, kuh, kuh-euh…!”

Kadie and Eliza, their faces completely red, made bizarre noises like people on the verge of death.

“I, infidel!!! Infidel!!! That’s just an infidel!!!”
“Infidel!!!! He’s an infidel, Saint-nim!!!!!”

They burst out in anger, almost having a seizure.

ㅡKuaaaaaaaaah!

Kadie tore at her hair, and Eliza punched the air, jumping up and down in a frenzy. Kadie, though she pretends not to be, is an excellent priest, so she sometimes shows such aspects. And Eliza acting like that wasn’t something I’d only seen once or twice, so it was rather cute.

“Beings that can never be tolerated!!! An act of desecrating the souls of humans who worshipped them!!! Anger! I only feel anger, Saint-nim!!! They are truly demons! Demons and infidels!!!”

Watching Eliza point her finger madly at the air and express genuine rage, I imagined what kind of reaction Captain Vakarel would have if I told him this story.

One thing was certain.

Captain Vakarel would show me something beyond anything I could imagine in this world. Really. That person would surely show a reaction beyond the cognitive world, completely transcending human imagination and fantasy. Perhaps that action alone would cause an anomaly in the dimensional boundary.

“Humans have been offering faith to such monsters…! That can’t be! It can’t be!!! Treating the souls of priests who died as martyrs as if they were sweet liquor!!!!”
“Kadie-nim!!! Anger! It feels like anger is flowing through my tears!!!”

Eliza even looked at Kadie while crying.

ㅡWhump.

Kadie hugged Eliza.

“Wow.”
“Wow.”
“Wow.”

Everyone gaped at the fanatical scene… Whatever, I had to explain more.

“Yeah… it’s terrible. Whatever, it’s true that they are such beings. But Verde said that at the end.”
“What…?”
“He said that as they absorbed souls and created ego and reason, they began to agonize over it.”
“What?”

Kadie and Eliza became quiet at those words.

“Agonize.”
“…”
“And in the end.”

This is the most important part.

“He said that a new being has appeared to protect humans, angered by the fact that human souls are being devoured, and that they can accept their end.”
“…”
“And then he told me to absorb their power and protect the human world, and then he self-destructed.”

The fragmented Outer Gods disappeared like that.

They disappeared like effervescent vitamins in water, and I accepted all of that into my barrier and made it my power.

“Ah, so.”

Claudia looked at me, and I nodded and continued.

“I absorbed all of that and came out. Their powers were combined and entered me. That’s why the priests’ divine power changed.”

That was the end of the explanation.

“…”

A moment of silence fell.

Kadie, who had been shouting, and Eliza, who had been raving, closed their mouths and were thinking. Whatever, this was something to think about. At first, I thought the Outer Gods would resist. But they left more coolly than I thought.

They didn’t deny that they had been devouring souls either.

They just said they had agonized and conveyed their intentions.

“That story…”
“It’s all true. Since Saint-nim said it…”
“…”

I gave the two women who were from priestly backgrounds some time to think.

“Even so… it doesn’t change the fact that it’s terrible.”
“Yeah. It’s terrible. You’re right, Kadie. They were terrible beings.”
“This makes me think a lot. My personal feelings about this story… I think I need to think more and come to a conclusion.”
“Do that. There’s plenty of time.”

I immediately stroked Kadie’s head. She needed something to think about.

“Wait. If that’s the case, then our husband now.”
“Me.”
“Can create something like paladins? Look. Isn’t that right? You absorbed the Outer Gods’ power, and the priests’ divine power has changed a bit. I thought it would disappear completely, but it didn’t. If so.”

There’s only one answer.

“Isn’t that power now passed on to our husband?”
“Oh?”
“Then could it be that Kat-nim!!!”

At Karin’s accurate deduction, they looked at me with expectant eyes. Ah! Yes! That’s the look I like!

“Hehehe, yeah! That’s right, Sister! You guessed right!”
“Wow!”
“Oh my!”

A cheer immediately erupted.

I had to explain this part too.

“Karin is right. To put it simply, all the Outer Gods’ divine power has been combined and become mine, and that will now be subcontracted by me.”
“Subcontracted.”

I could now send the divine power of these Outer Gods to the paladins on the ground as I pleased. At those words, they rejoiced and began to share their opinions, but the ones who reacted the most were Kadie and Eliza, who were from priestly backgrounds.

“That’s… unbelievably good. If that’s possible. Does that mean we can mass-produce superhumans who meet the standards of Fusion Confucianism in the future? Even super-civil servants who can be dismissed at any time without any repercussions if they lose their qualifications.”

That’s a very accurate analysis.

“Yeah. That’s what I mean. Accurate. Very.”
“That…!”

Superhumans `approved` by me are mass-produced.
Without any side effects.

“Kadie. What does it take to become a paladin of the Brass Celestial Angel Society?”
“You have to go through a long education and pass difficult and rigorous tests. Personality and beliefs are also carefully reviewed. That’s how you need a procedure to become a righteous superhuman. The cost is very high. It takes a long time. Of course, even then, there were some who couldn’t awaken their divine power.”
“I’m thinking of something similar to that. The education on personality and sense of justice will be adjusted to Fusion Confucianism. The test will be conducted based on my standards.”
“If you pass the test… you can be granted that divine power.”
“Yeah. I’m giving it directly, so there can’t be any corruption.”

At those words, Eliza shouted.

“It’s like a dream, Saint-nim!!!”
“Right?”
“Yes. If you systematically train flawless and righteous humans and then give them new divine power.”

There’s only good things.

“Law. Order. Administration. All three can run perfectly.”
“That’s the Heavenly Demon Church.”

The bones and flesh of the Outer Gods will become fertilizer to enrich this world.

I had to do that much.

ㅡTsupat.

I deployed the Outer Gods’ divine power instead of my own as a test. Immediately, a pure white light wrapped around my forearm. It doesn’t burn white like mine. It’s the divine power itself that I’ve seen so far.

“Certainly… this power is completely different from Kat’s power. It’s like the power of priests.”
“Kat-nim…! I’m so touched right now!!!”
“Hehehe, right?”

Still, they said that this was amazing, but since it wasn’t my energy, it felt a bit strange. Well, this wasn’t my original energy.

“Kat?”

Claudia tilted her head.

“Hmm? Why, Claudia?”
“Then isn’t Kat now the monotheistic god?”

Ah. That.

“What?! Kat-nim has become such an infidel!!! What are you talking about, Claudia-nim!!”
“But Kat has absorbed all the gods, right? Then wouldn’t you say he’s monotheistic?”
“Th, that heretical…! Kat-nim!!!”

No, that’s.

“Well… if you say I’m monotheistic, you can say I’m monotheistic.”
“Oh my!!!”

Hilde was very surprised.

“This world cannot accept a monotheistic god.”
“Yeah, Blackie. Th… I think. I don’t think it’s a good idea to announce that other gods have disappeared.”

I nodded at those words.

“I think so too. People’s hatred of monotheism is at its peak because of these infidel bastards, and I can’t pour cold water on that.”

I also think very negatively about monotheistic beliefs. I’m not particularly drawn to it, and I don’t want it. Verde and Ijzermart will just have to maintain their presence as my god-dummy presidents in the future.

Anyway.

That’s how all the stories ended. I shared everything about this whole situation with my women.

* * *

A few days have passed since then.

We immediately began the work of finding priests scattered all over the world. But I can’t order them to come here all at once. This has to be done sequentially. It would be convenient to summon them, but if the priests leave like that, the security vacuum in that area will be strengthened.

The world is half destroyed and being restored.

There are many security vacuums.

Priests are filling that security vacuum purely according to their beliefs.

ㅡJiiing.

So I was making good use of the Kim Kat warp gate that I could do myself, and I went to find priests all over the country. There’s only one thing to do. Go and praise their hard work, and then strengthen their divine power.

“Th, this is…! Heavenly Demon! Suddenly my power has been strengthened!!!”

A paladin who knelt on one knee was shocked.

Priests who are filling the security vacuum on their own in such a chaotic time have passed the personality test by themselves. Judging that strengthening their power would make the reconstruction work easier, I am strengthening their divine power to test their abilities.

“Do you feel it? It is the blessing of this Heavenly Demon.”
“Th, thank you!!!”
“There’s no need to thank me. It’s all because you are faithful. Use that power for the sake of humans.”
“Kuh-heuk!!!”

At those words, the paladin shed tears.

“I can only give you blessings for now, but I will give you even greater rewards when the reconstruction is completed.”
“Thank you!!!!!”

If I just strengthen the paladin’s power, he will take the lead in local reconstruction. Who would mess with him when he’s stronger than most mana users?

“Saint-nim. It’s really rewarding.”

As I was returning after finishing one case, Eliza said that with the brightest smile in the world. I’m working with Eliza today.

“They will work hard to rebuild the city with their enhanced power. And they will become the center of people’s attention.”
“I think I’ve heard that about ten times already. Eliza.”
“Good stories are fine even if you say them a hundred or a thousand times, Saint-nim.”
“Hehehe, right.”

Eliza was extremely happy because she was doing good things right now. Yeah. What a good thing this is. Eliza is smiling like this, so it can’t be bad.

“Ah, but Saint-nim.”
“Hmm?”
“I’ve been thinking about that matter, and… of course, even if the Outer Gods had such thoughts in the end, it doesn’t erase the sins of the past, but if a monster whose ego was unclear regretted it after gaining an ego. I think there’s room for consideration.”

Yeah.

Is this Eliza’s thought?

“So Eliza. Can you forgive them?”
“No! I will never forgive them! Ijzermart is an infidel!!! I will not deny this fact!!!”
“Hehehe, yeah. That’s all that matters. You’re just saying there’s a little room for consideration?”
“…Yes. That’s right.”

Eliza, who answered that way, looked very relieved.

“…”

What a shining face.
Very pure.

Looking at such Eliza, I couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Heavenly Demon Divine Art, Heavenly Demon Kidnapping.”

ㅡWhoosh.

I immediately picked up Eliza in a princess carry.

“S, Saint-nim?”
“Eliza. How many cases did we do today?”
“A total of… 15 paladins have been blessed.”
“There’s still a long way to go.”
“It didn’t take that long. It’s about one person every 5 minutes, so it’s still…”
“You’re saying there’s plenty of time?”
“Yes? Yes. I think so.”

If there’s plenty of time, you can slack off a bit.

“Then Eliza. Let’s go have Divine Sex.”
“D, yes?”
“Divine Sex.”
“Yes?”
“DIVINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

ㅡDIVINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My echoing voice!!!

“Yes? Yes?! Yes?!?!?!”
“DIVINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“D, don’t speak so loudly!!!!!!!!!!”

I won’t stop until Eliza shouts Sex!!!!!!!
