572 – The Whole World Is God – 2

It’s cold.

Even though it’s cold, it’s too cold. Even though I used a fur coat and cold weather magic, it feels like my ears are about to fall off. No, maybe it has already failed and I don’t know.

‘If you put them in a place like this, even good gods will evolve into evil gods.’

My teeth were shaking. Is it true that Enen really sealed the evil spirit? Could it be that the gods were awakened into evil gods because someone just shoved them in here?

It’s a ridiculous hypothesis, but the cold was so terrible that it made me think that way. It’s just a matter of checking whether it’s sealed or not, so I wonder if it would be better to just let the seal come off and then defend the evil spirits moving south from the north.

‘After all, a husband must listen to his wife.’

Soon, a sadness that cannot be expressed in words came over me. If I had stayed in the mansion like the wives said, I wouldn’t have gone through this trouble.

‘Fuck.’

I cried with my heart because I felt like I would freeze right away if I shed real tears.

My family knows that I came all the way to the north. That’s right, they summoned a large number of the family’s wizards, and the guy who usually only wears a uniform looked for a fur coat. It was announced first because anyone could see that it was a sign of leaving for a faraway place. If you’re going to go anyway, it’s better to confess and go than to be interrogated.

Of course, in the process, the word ‘evil spirit’ was used rather than ‘evil spirit’, and the explanation was purified to include confirmation of the relics of an ancient god rather than identification of a seal. Excessive honesty can cause excessive worry.

“Do you really have to go? It’s not enough to say that it’s an unexplored place if it’s further north than the north.”

Considering Mar had tears in his eyes even though he had purified himself, it was indeed the right decision.

“It’s okay. I won’t be staying for long, I’m just going to check.”

Anyway, I spoke confidently while comforting Mar and her other wives. It’s not difficult. I’ll just check and it’ll be over soon.

It wasn’t wrong. In fact, all you had to do was go to the seal shop and check whether it was sealed or not. If the seal was loose or released, he would have run away without looking back.

‘Where on earth is the seal?’

The problem is that the process of reaching the seal is harsher than expected.

It was at least hundreds of years ago that the Dawn Church achieved religious victory and was reborn as a mainstream religion on the continent. In other words, it was hundreds of years ago that Enen sealed the evil spirits in this land. Even buildings that have been thoroughly managed become deteriorated after hundreds of years, so it would be appalling to see a seal left in the wild for hundreds of years.

There was no place to call a road, and any landmarks that might have existed in the past were not visible due to the fierce wind and heavy snow.

Thanks to this, the wizards and I went on a miserable march in the heavy snow, looking for even the slightest suspicious place.

– You just have to go further north.

As a bonus, it comes with a navigation system that doesn’t perform very well.

‘Didn’t you say it was north all along?’

– What should I do if it’s really in the North? I don’t even know the exact location!

Eternal Blue Sky, who overreacted as if he was being stabbed, soon muttered in a hushed voice.

-It was a seal created when Enen was at his strongest, so it was completely hidden. I’m not tracking Enen’s energy, but I’m looking for them by feeling the remnants of the evil spirits…

This time, I was silent when I heard about the difference in power. If that’s the case, it’s a problem that won’t change even if you criticize the eternal blue sky.

‘…Could you possibly ask Enen directly?’

– He’s busy too, so he doesn’t respond. If you wait, he will answer, but if the seal is loose, the evil spirit will come out first, right?

‘I’m going to be thrilled.’

I laughed at the fact that the only person who knew the location of the seal was underwater.

However, it is understandable. Enen is the god who presides over this entire continent, so there must be many other places to worry about other than Bongin. It is even difficult to blame Enen because the reason he is so busy is because of the council led by humans.

So let’s think positively. If there is no answer to the question of whether Enen is a seal, other matters are more urgent, and the fact that the evil spirit seal has been pushed down means that there is a high probability that the seal will be intact. Could there be anything more important than the release of evil spirits? Since the seal was intact, I lost interest.

‘Please.’

Please say yes. If there were more pressing issues than releasing the evil spirit, my mind wouldn’t be able to handle it.

“Gagggakkakka…”

“If it’s difficult to say, you can write.”

In the meantime, he waved his hand while listening to the sorrowful call of the frozen wizard.

If it’s frozen that much, just write to me. I’m going to break my mouth if I try too hard.

[The magic is not activated. ]

“What?”

And he frowned as he looked at the wizard’s quickly scribbled writing.

‘Is magic impossible?’

In this weather, in the middle of a frigid land with no landmarks, without magic?

I even warned you to be careful about mana distribution?

[There is still plenty of mana left. However, when she tries to release the mana accumulated in her body to the outside, she feels like something is being held back. ]

Looking at the expression of a mixture of displeasure and confusion, the wizard hastily wrote down the sentence.

“Feeling like something is being suppressed?”

[Yes, sir. ]

After looking at the cheerfully written words, I raised my head and saw the wizard’s face.

The wizard’s expression was as bright as a believer who saw the light of salvation in despair.

I probably have a similar expression.

‘I found it.’

If a spell that was normally activated is suddenly blocked, there must be a good reason, and the only variable here is the evil spirit.

This is certain, unless the mana was frozen in the extreme cold. There is a seal of an evil spirit nearby.

“Let’s go. When we find it and return, everyone will have a 10-day vacation.”

“Uggg!”

“Grrralalagagak!”

A scream that could not be considered human language rang out, but no one paid any attention.

A frozen mouth cannot stop our passion.

***

The harsh cold wind is the shackles that bind us, and the damn sun is the eye that watches over us.

Everything. Everything that exists in this world is our enemy. It is a stone that blocks our steps and insults our great progress. They are reactions that hinder reform.

However, even he was wary of this part of the world that we must govern and lead, but he did not hate it. How can we hate foolish people who have not yet opened their eyes to true faith? I just feel sorry for that stupidity.

Yes, the stupidity is unfortunate. The foolishness of thinking that something like the sun is the truth, the foolishness of being possessed by the sun that becomes blinder the more you look at it.

‘Damn the sun.’

I gritted my teeth and raised my head.

‘Damn heaven.’

I cursed at the sun and the sky, which were so far away that I couldn’t see them.

The sun that dared to rob the world we should lead. The sky that clings to the sun as the first born subject.

I feel like I want to tear my heart into pieces. I want to take that position.

No, it’s not something that occupies. It’s about getting back what you deserve.

‘I will rise again.’

That’s why I made a promise every day. I’m going to break out of this damn prison and rule the world. I will become the true truth and god.

To me—we have that right. We have the right and duty to reign over and look down on everything.

It has to be that way. We are those who are revered and feared by all things in the world just by our very existence.

‘Plague, war, famine.’

A being that shakes the world and rebuilds it.

‘And I.’

A person who is with those beings and stands above them.

“Death!”

A destination that all life must reach. A fate that no one can escape.

That’s me. Right now I am trapped in this dark and narrow prison, but one day I will stand tall above this world!

“Why is that b*stard doing this again?”

“Hey! Are you alone here? Be quiet!”

However, my compatriots who did not understand my deep and grand meaning were busy cursing the pioneer.

“The guy who gets put down first is a fucking pioneer.”

“What’s wrong? We came in first and found a warm place to make it less cold.”

“Oh, were you that pioneer?”

My teeth ground when I saw my compatriots starting to giggle.

Those things steeped in defeatism. Rather than thinking about getting out of this prison, these pathetic things are rolling around trying to find a more comfortable place.

In my heart, I want to become an independent being separate from them, but since we are compatriots who were born at the same time, I have no choice but to endure and be together.

“If you too are evil, show your pride accordingly! You should think about getting out of this prison and biting off the back of the sun’s neck!”

Feeling frustrated, I went to work again today. I hope those idiots come to their senses…

“I have to eat Teu-yang’s sweet rice.”

“Don’t copy me! No, I didn’t say it that way in the first place!”

“Don’t say anything~”

“Gyaah ah ah!”

In the end, we couldn’t stand it again today and bit the back of each other’s necks.

“Are those idiots fighting again?”

“Outside, I’ll be treated like an evil spirit like those, right? I suddenly want to disappear.”

I could hear other prisoners whispering behind me, but I didn’t pay any attention.

The important thing now is to punish that pestilent b*stard!

– ──! ───?

– ─── ──!

‘Huh?’

While I was fighting the plague guy for a while, I heard a strange noise.

What? We’ve been stuck here for hundreds of years, but this is the first time we’ve heard any noise other than our own?

“What does this mean?”

“Hey, wake up all the sleeping things.”

As if I wasn’t the only one who heard it, the other guys also started looking around one by one.

“It sounds like it’s coming from above?”

And at the words of famine, we all raised our heads and looked at the sky, at the exit that we had not been able to reach for hundreds of years.

“Huh?”

“What, was it always that blurry?”

Then, we were greeted by a barrier that was a little, just a little blurrier than usual.

No, what is it? I’m sure it was fine until just now?

“…What happened outside?”

At those words, the compatriots and prisoners who had been whispering fell silent.

The damn sun’s barrier became blurred = The power to maintain the barrier began to shake = Something happened to the damn sun = Chaos came to the outside world.

…

“aah!”

“Are you leaving!? Are you finally leaving!”

“Yes, you’ve crossed the line by continuing to stay here just because you lost once! It’s only right to play one more game!”

Eventually, the fighting spirit of the past, a time when people were constantly fighting to control the world, covered this prison.
