675 – The Road Not Taken – 4

It was Leviathan, a versatile aerial mobility whale, but it did not fly in front of children.

– People get tired if they swim often. The same goes for this body. Flying with this body is not a simple task.

I was convinced by the persuasive reasoning behind the impossibility of flying. Certainly, it was only recently that there was a spectacular show of force in the Kingdom of Zereno.

Besides, children are interested in huge whales, not to see flying whales.

‘If the first whale you see is a flying whale, you might have a strange perception.’

And children only know the name of whales. If we go further than that, it’s just that it’s a huge fish that lives in the sea, but suddenly it takes off in the sky with its huge body? It’s like giving strange knowledge as a gift to children who need to build up correct knowledge.

What can Leviathan do when he can’t fly, he has to play with children, and he can’t even dive?

“Tap! That’s it! Make it rain!”

“Daddy! Rain! Rain!”

He was able to show a fountain show with all his might that even destroyed the elite wizards guarding Hyeonjong-gong.

It was a spectacle to see this from a distance rather than something that happened on top of Leviathan. A whale the size of an island launched a huge water column, and the water column flew high into the sky, scattering like rain and pouring down onto the sea and land. To exaggerate a bit, it felt like watching a waterfall flowing backwards.

“Knife.”

While watching the children who were captivated by Leviathan’s fountain show, Trixie, who was fiddling with the communication port, sneakily approached.

“They say the jizz has arrived.”

“It’s fast because it’s flying alone. It looks like it adjusted its speed to pick us up earlier.”

I was impressed by the news that it arrived earlier than expected. He called himself the king of the sky, and his speed across the sky was almost the speed of sound.

“Was there anyone surprised?”

“He said there was no disturbance because he had been informed in advance.”

“Thank goodness.”

A dynamic situation in which a bird the size of a battleship roams over the World Tree. For an elf whose world tree was burned down in the past thanks to the rare b*stards called Apels, it is not strange for an elf to suffer from PTSD.

So, I contacted my maternal grandmother in advance. A huge bird will be there soon, but it’s a big but gentle bird so you don’t have to worry too much.

“It’s just that they’re showing too much interest in the World Tree, so I’m a little uneasy…”

“It’s okay. There’s Ziz’s family inside the World Tree, so I’m sure they’ll cherish the World Tree like the elves do?”

“She asked her maternal grandmother if she could take the world tree.”

I was at a loss for words at that moment.

This crazy bird. If I’m going to take you, I’ll have to take your sister inside the World Tree. What if I try to rip out her entire house? That is definitely Constantina’s property.

“Wow! It’s coming again!”

“Rain! Rain!”

“It’s cool~”

Meanwhile, the sound of children cheering rang out again.

I began to worry whether even a whale could spray water that often. In order to release that amount, you have to store it up, but you’re also wasting time to store it up.

“Should I stop the kids first?”

“That’s right.”

Trixie seemed to have similar thoughts and nodded willingly.

Now, instead of watching the fountain show, it would be a good idea to start sightseeing in Leviathan.

The tragedy came suddenly.

– Build just one temple for me.

‘Yes?’

It’s also quite a strange and proud surprise.

It was so confident that I quickly recalled my memory. I understand that temples of the eternal blue sky are being built in various places in the North. Could it be that I am mistaken? Was it because there wasn’t a temple in the north until now that it was on the World Tree?

However, as I quickly recalled my memory, the answer came out quickly. Not at all.

‘Isn’t there already a temple in each great territory?’

Yes, there is already at least one temple in the territory managed by the great lords of the North. I even heard that in the Marquis of Barandiga, which is almost the center of the North, there are, among other things, huge temples and stone statues. So much so that you don’t have to ask me to build a temple.

– That’s true, but if you want to stay with Jiz, it’s better to be somewhere without people.

‘Ah.’

I was convinced by the voice muttering as if it were embarrassed.

Eternal Blue Sky If you are going to stay alone, the existing temple is enough. Perhaps, you may be more comfortable with a temple built entirely for the eternal blue sky rather than a world tree that is far from your faith.

However, the Temple of Eternal Blue Sky is located at the center of each great territory to show off its majesty. Even in the north, where development is relatively slow, there is a temple in an area where disaster would inevitably occur if Ziz lands.

-They said that Ziz found a good plain to stay in. I also want to stay there with Jiz, isn’t that okay…?

‘It won’t be a very good temple because it’s an empty field, but if it’s okay, I’ll build it quickly.’

I nodded willingly in response to the cautious question.

For no other reason than to prepare a home to stay with his younger brother, who was thinking to be dead. Since I found Jizz and helped them meet, this level of after-sales service would be a good ending.

‘It is a northern region in the North anyway, so it is rare for nomads to approach it. Make yourself comfortable and think of it as a nest of jizz.’

-Thank you! Please tell me thank you for Jizz!

I laughed at her bright voice. The place where the temple will be built is a wasteland among wastelands, so the two of you will be able to spend a cozy time under the eternal blue sky right away.

However, it is a temple in the sky guarded by a huge eagle. If the faith in the eternal blue sky remains alive, this is a temple that is bound to receive attention one day. Perhaps it will turn into a place that resembles a holy place?

‘There should at least be a ban on development near the temple.’

It is possible to build a road to the temple or a station, but anything more than that is difficult due to the size of Ziz.

So, let’s completely ban development in a certain distance near the temple. If you do that, their home will last forever even as time passes.

‘Now it’s back to its original position.’

I feel a little complicated. It was a legacy created by the god of the sky, the god of nomads, and the god of vegetation, and it stayed in the realm of the settled people. When Shin saw his younger brother, he moved without hesitation.

It seems that the friendship between the sisters is definitely strong. It would have been bitter if one of the two had died completely.

***

Ziz, sitting at the top of the World Tree, chattered non-stop.

– Even though I searched the entire north, I couldn’t find my sister! She saw a temple that seemed to serve her sister, but there was no god in it, so she thought it was just an empty temple!

– Wasn’t it a bit big for an empty shell?

-What will you do when you grow up? Losing your faith can happen in an instant!

It was very persuasive to hear a God who had truly lost his faith.

-More than that, I was worried that I would have to live alone without her sister her ~ Who would have guessed that the person I met there was her her sister her her her priest her her her!

Seeing Ziz laughing, I also smiled.

To be exact, he is an honorary priest, but let’s not correct that. Anyway, given that kid’s personality, even if you tell him, he’ll forget it right away.

– But jizz.

– Huh? Why?

– Won’t you stay as my guardian?

After watching Jiz talk for a while, she carefully said what she wanted to say earlier.

Before she knew Ziz had her memories, when she thought Ziz was dead. She regretted not taking jizz for me. She would have asked at least once, even though Jizz would have hurt her pride and said no-she had regretted doing so.

But she had another chance. Jizz is alive and her memory of me is intact. This is a golden opportunity for her to resolve her past regrets.

– Shinsu?

Jiz tilted her head at my suggestion.

Even though she considers me like her older sister her her, she probably won’t be very happy with the offer. She was a god no matter how much she lost her faith and fell. Because it is not easy for such a being to fall under another god.

Still, you have to convince them. She got lucky this time, but if Jizz wanders around a tight spot again, she could be in trouble. In that case, she will become my divine beast and she will become stronger and stronger than she is now.

– Good!

– Huh?

– I want to try my hand at it! Since I have experienced God, I should also experience God!

– Uh…

My younger brother was a brighter child than I thought. I think she has become more pure since I last saw her in 2,000 years.

– Okay, good idea. If you stay as a divine beast, you won’t have anything to do with humans.

For now, I put aside my complicated feelings and welcomed Ziz’s decision.

2,000 years ago, Ziz suffered disaster at the hands of humans, but if she becomes a divine beast imbued with my divine power, Ziz can live forever as long as my faith remains strong. Even if she falls down after taking physical damage, she can get back up again. She should have done this a long time ago, but where did she put the safety measures on even now?

– Huh? Human?

– Huh. It would be difficult to be attacked by humans like 2,000 years ago.

– I’ve never been harmed?

?

– Even now, it is difficult for humans to reach the sky, but it was worse 2,000 years ago. If I decide to avoid it, who will be able to touch it?

?

– Well… Your body was modified by Trica…?

– Oh, that? I asked you to do it! Leviathan and Behemoth were killed by some cultist, but Roygas collected them and revived them! After hearing about it, I thought it would help me live a long time, so I wore it too!

I want to live with my sister for a long time!

She added clearly, but I couldn’t hear her words properly.

The only ones subdued by humans were Leviathan and Behemoth. I see.

This burn wasn’t dead, it was repairing itself. I see…

***

Ziz, who returned to the boyar with her wings drooping, muttered sullenly.

– My sister said she didn’t want to see me and asked me to leave…

“What is that?”

What on earth happened in that short period of time? She definitely said a while ago that she was going to stay with her younger brother and all.

Of course, she could have found out right away by asking Eternal Blue Sky or Jizz, but she didn’t want to ask.

‘It will be resolved soon anyway.’

It’s not unusual for her sisters to fight.

She decided to just think like that.
