Chapter 1655 – 137. Japan’s New God

Dogeja

An attitude of obedience, kneeling on the ground, prostrating himself, bowing and apologizing with his head down

Not only Japanese people consider this dogeza more humiliating than anything else.

The reason is that Japan was a samurai society in the past.

In the samurai society, Dogeja meant ‘there would be no objection even if he was beheaded right here and now

In a samurai society that values ​​​​​​honor and pride, giving one’s life into the hands of others was a great humiliation that could not even be compared to suicide.

That influence is still being applied in modern times.

There is no other way than to give up one’s life.

This is the greatest humiliation and disgrace that cannot be described even to an individual

Therefore, it is a sight that cannot be easily seen unless you are a person who is in a desperate situation.

Even more so if it is a high-ranking person who cares about social prestige and honor.

Wow

It’s definitely true

“Please become the god of Japan! I earnestly ask you to do so!”

The unthinkable happens.

Fujio Kasuda

The peak of Japanese power

The most powerful person

The Prime Minister of Japan, who has the power to make flying birds fall

Asia’s fiercest tiger, Taehyung, is gaining power in the international community with his unique charisma

Let his head touch the ground.

Value honor more than anyone else

A being whose national status was merely a symbol accepted the Dogeja despite the greatest humiliation and disgrace.

“…”

Kousaka Rin’s eyes widen as she watches the scene.

A completely unexpected and shocking sight

I couldn’t even say anything.

How could a leader who values ​​​​​​Japan’s honor more than anyone else endure such dishonor?

What can we say in this ridiculous situation?

“…”

Her party receiving this dogeja, Seon-woo, was also not much different from her.

They felt embarrassed by Prime Minister Fujio Kasuda’s sudden decision.

King of a country, emperor of an empire, prince, princess, member of the National Assembly, representative of the ruling party, general-level officer, minister of defense, president of the Republic of Korea, president of Russia, president and general secretary of China, general, president of the United States, etc.

After revealing his power, he faced numerous high-ranking people

No one has ever taken such a low stance.

Rather, the majority maintained a high-handed attitude.

Because the power they have ingrained in them has made them more single-minded than anyone else

The only exception is U.S. President Donald Biden

However, even Donald Biden did not take such a humiliating low stance like Prime Minister Kazuda in front of him.

Even if he were the president of the United States, a free country, he could not have done something that would have brought the country’s reputation to the ground.

That’s why I was embarrassed.

The opponent is none other than Kasuda Fujio

Although it does not have the same status as the United States, it is a powerful country that dominates Asia as an economic power

He was the Prime Minister of Japan.

I can’t believe he hit his head on a foreigner.

How can you not be embarrassed?

After being so embarrassed, Prime Minister Kasuda opens his mouth.

“The current Japanese nation has lost its faith.”

The reason is none other than the fall of Susanoo, the hero god representing Japanese mythology.

Disbelief in God became widespread.

Anxiety and fear amplified.

I wonder if not only Susanoo, but also other gods have become corrupted and are wishing for the destruction of Japan.

“On the outside, it appears to be stable, but when you look into the reality, it is full of anxiety, fear, and fear.”

I distrusted God and lost my faith.

And the absence of God maximizes anxiety and fear.

A precarious sand castle that may collapse at any time

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is itself.

Faith is tradition

It would be no exaggeration to say that Japan, which has lost its traditions, is more at risk than ever.

Therefore

Because I know that fact very well

“I earnestly ask you to do so! Please become Japan’s new god! Please become a beacon of hope that illuminates Japan, which is covered in the darkness of anxiety and fear!”

I sincerely ask you.

May you be a beacon of hope

May you become a god who protects Japan

“…No, just calm down first and get up…”

“No, I can’t get up! I will stay like this for days, months, or years until you accept my request!”

A harder-line measure than expected

I was embarrassed.

What kind of person is Bae Soo-jin, who makes every bone ache?

“…I think it would be better to regain your composition.”

“I am now more calm than ever! A spiritual leader is needed to support the country of Japan! It is a shame, but I cannot fulfill that role! Because I am just an ordinary human being! Because I am an infinitely weak human being ! That is why I need a good friend! Evil spirit! We need you to save Japan from Yamata no Orochi and the fallen hero god Susanoo!”

He fervently courted Prime Minister Kasuda.

Like a young man with love fever

More passionately and earnestly than ever

“…”

And earnestness complicated Seon-woo’s mind.

Because I was able to recognize how much this man had laid down for his country and people

And

“Please stand up first, Prime Minister Kasuda.”

Answer him in a more polite tone.

Prime Minister Kasuda made no significant movements.

Just like I promised, I’m sure I’ll hold out until I get permission.

“I would like to hear in more detail what the Prime Minister specifically wants from me.”

Asking to become the guardian deity of Japan

I vaguely knew what kind of role he wanted, but the specific feeling was unclear.

Therefore, he could not easily give permission.

If there are restrictions in many ways, this will also be difficult

However, if it is not an unreasonable request

“Isn’t that something we can consider positively? Prime Minister Kasuda”

There was no reason not to give it a chance.

To this noble man who even gave up his face

Soon, Prime Minister Kasuda slowly lifts his head, which had been touching the ground.

And he gazes in this direction with eyes filled with endless emotion.

No, don’t look at it like that

I said I would review it positively

You didn’t accept it?

***********

“Are you saying that all we have to do is step forward on an official line and declare protection?”

“That’s right! Sword God!”

“No, just Jang Seon-woo is enough.”

“God Jang Seon Woo!”

Prime Minister Kasuda seemed to have realized this and changed his words again

“No, just call me Sunwoo.”

God

It felt like it was already putting a lot of pressure on me.

“I understand! Good Lord!”

“..Well, call me whatever you want.”

I just gave up.

This guy is very stubborn

“It’s more surprising than that. I thought you were asking for direct protection, but just a declaration is enough.”

At first, I thought I was asking for unconditional protection.

Feelings to prepare for emergencies

But as I listened, that wasn’t the case.

“We are not without shame. Would we ask such a burdensome favor from our good friend who has already saved Japan?”

Prime Minister Kasuda began speaking in a calm tone.

“Just a declaration of protection is enough, and in case of emergency, we will pay a befitting price, just like this time.”

“For example, are you saying that a face-to-face meeting is enough?”

“Yes, what we need now is a new spiritual foundation, that is enough.”

Of course, it would be the icing on the cake if they provided direct protection, but I couldn’t hope for even that.

This side also had something called shame

Therefore, I can be satisfied with a declaration of protection.

If you declare that he has become your spiritual leader

It will be able to relieve the people’s anxiety and fear caused by the absence of God

“You seem to trust me too much, Prime Minister Kasuda.”

Seonwoo continued speaking in a calm tone.

“To give a mere foreigner so much power that he can control all of Japan.”

Through the declaration of guardianship, he was revered as a guardian deity.

Becoming the spiritual pillar of the Japanese people posed an enormous risk.

It was no different from a mere foreigner having enormous influence that could control all of Japan.

That’s why I had doubts.

How can one be willing to take such an enormous risk?

“I know you won’t.”

“How can you be sure?”

“I know that you have the ability to rule the world if you put your mind to it. But you don’t. I think it’s because you don’t want to rule but not rule.”

Who is Jang Seon-woo

Brought Russia back to the Stone Age

China was defeated

The true emperor of who makes even the president of the humanity superpower United States hesitate

He was an overwhelming being who could easily achieve world domination if he put his mind to it.

The fact that he lives with his family in his own sanctuary is probably proof that he does not want to be ruled.

That’s why I was able to plead.

To become the spiritual pillar of the Japanese people.

“…Besides, I don’t think you would mention risks like you do now if you had a bad attitude…Seonwoo.”

“…I see.”

It was indeed an understandable argument.

In reality, they have no intention of controlling Japan at all.

“Okay, Prime Minister Kasuda, I will accept your offer.”

He will become a new god who protects Japan.

“Thank you! Thank you so much!”

Prime Minister Kasuda bowed down and thanked the decision again and again.

To the new god of Japan who willingly granted his request

************

Large round table

Masked members surrounding him

There is only one purpose, the transformation of the world

A place that can be seen as strange if it is strange

There was a heavy silence.

The reason was simple.

Evil God Yamata no Orochi

Hero God Susanoo

The futile exit of two mythical beings

The members of the Round Table, who brought them in and caused the Tokyo apocalypse, could not help but feel embarrassed.

The process of massive human sacrifice to bring in foreign gods

Even if I couldn’t do it, I expected millions of donations

In reality, less than 100 people were killed.

An undeniable failure

I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

Because I could not have predicted such a huge failure

How heavy was the silence?

“Damn it!”

Kwaaaaang

The round table began to resonate loudly.

“Damn it!”

This was because the angry wolf mask hit the round table harshly.

“Failure! Failure! Failure!!”

The Tokyo Apocalypse was one of the largest projects that involved an astronomical amount of money and enormous effort.

I expected at least millions of human sacrifices

There were less than 100 casualties.

How can you not be angry?

“…It was unexpected…I never thought Jang Seon-woo would be so overwhelming…”

The fox mask continued speaking while biting his nails.

It was completely unexpected.

I never thought I would defeat two divine beings in a row

“…No matter how much he appears, his status is lowered, but Susanoo is Japan’s strongest hero god, right? How can he be defeated!?”

The middle-aged man wearing a raccoon mask raised his voice in great excitement.

Susanoo had a high reputation as a military god and military god

God is a being whose status rises according to the level of faith

If Susanoo was well known, he would have had the status of a high-ranking god.

Even if he materialized and was downgraded by one level, he would still have the status of a mid-level god, but to be defeated like this?

I couldn’t believe it.

Everyone was excited, enraged, and distrustful.

The unbelievable achievements achieved by Jang Seon-woo

“It’s simple, Jang Seon-woo’s capabilities are beyond that.”

At that time, the lion mask, a leader-like entity that had been silent, slowly opened its mouth.

Then everyone’s eyes began to focus on him.

“It would be easy to admit, Jang Seon-woo, his power is quite unrivaled even among divine beings, so even Susanoo could not handle it.”

The lion mask opened its mouth in a calm tone.

“You look carefree.”

“Even though the plan went completely wrong.”

“Aren’t you even angry? The summoning of the foreign god that you hoped for has been completely in vain.”

Some people distort their faces as if they don’t like that attitude.

“It doesn’t matter, just prepare for human sacrifice again.”

If you fail, just start again.

It’s not even something to be so outraged about.

“Do you think preparation is that easy?”

The most calculating snake masked woman frowns.

The conditions for human sacrifice through God are extremely strict.

First, a special gate must be opened to bring in the gods.

And most of the opening conditions require astronomical amounts of money and labor.

It is not as easy to prepare as it sounds.

“More than anything, how are you going to keep Jang Seon-woo in check? What if he interferes again? What if he fails again? Are you planning on sounding as carefree as you are now?”

Capital and labor were something that the Round Table members could fully afford.

In reality, they were all key figures who moved huge capital

But the problem is Jang Seon-woo

If there were no means to check him, human sacrifice would be no different from pouring water on a bottomless poison.

“It’s not a big problem.”

The lion mask continues talking casually.

“No matter how great he is, he doesn’t have two bodies.”

And the corners of his mouth rise and he smiles.

A full smile of infinite arrogance
