Chapter 318 – Chapter 251 – Why Did Everyone Raise Their Hands?

*All characters appearing are adults.
*This is a fictional story that is nothing but fiction. Never follow

Six days remain until the heavenly world collides with the ground.
There is only one day left until the invasion commences.
Everyone is busy moving for tomorrow’s invasion.

Is there anything missing,
Whether any of the soldiers to be deployed are sick,
Are there any problems with the weapons to be used?
The demons repeated dozens of times to check everything that would be used in the war.
I tried not to make a single flaw.
If this invasion fails, I don’t even have to tell you what the price will be.

“Thank you all for coming.”

In the midst of such a busy time, Eris held an emergency meeting.
The place is the conference room at the headquarters of the Wizard Association.
The list of names called here is as follows.

“They are all nightmare faces. Well, it’s not that I don’t understand. Because I also had a dog dream.”

Junis, the commander who is the head of the military department and the second sister of Eris.
Her third older sister, Arietta.
Her own precious three sisters,
Lilia, Aion, and Lea Espani.
Her mother, Emilia, and her nanny and paternal grandmother, Riviera.
Archmage Diana and Anne, who took the title of Archmage after Diana, her teacher.
Selena, a former saint and current succubus queen.

Eleven people participating in the subjugation of the goddess Thetis, including Eris, gathered in the conference room.
Like the Colosseum, everyone is seated in the most comfortable place among the numerous chairs surrounding the center.
Eris, realizing that everyone had arrived, was the first to open her mouth.

“The reason I asked to meet is to discuss a certain god.”

God.
Upon hearing those words, all members of the subjugation team reacted immediately.
Seeing that, Eris put on an expression of, as expected.

“I will ask you directly. Has anyone ever met the god Venus in a dream?”

Everyone raised their hands at Eris’ question.

“The one who was overpowered by Venus?”

Everyone raised their hands.

“Who learned the secret of earthly birth from Venus?”

Everyone also raised their hands.

“Who heard Venus say that he would help conquer the celestial realm?”

Again, everyone raised their hands.

“The one who was toyed with by those damn tentacles?”

Everyone hesitated, but eventually everyone raised their hands.

“The one with the new tattoo on his lower stomach?”

Everyone looked at each other and raised their hands one by one.
Finally heard it all

“Everyone went through the same thing as me…”

Venus had said this before.
Why are your families like that?
Why are the great magicians and ex-saints attacking all of a sudden?
Through that remark, Eris guessed that the people participating in the subjugation party also entered the dream.

As expected, the guess was correct.
So now the most important question.

“The last question. Who recognizes the god Venus as an ally?”

Will you accept Venus, their true creator and evil god, on our side?
Will she take what she says as true and trust her wholeheartedly?
Eris assumed that her opinions would be divided here.

Because it’s so sudden.
It’s strange to show up out of nowhere and scream like you’re a true ally.
Could it be that he has other ulterior motives?
Wouldn’t it be like trying to blow the back of the head after destroying the heavenly world?
Even after hearing Venus’ appeal to enter under her, Eris could not overcome her doubts.

Of course, this is just Eris’ idea.
Other people won’t be
So opinions will be divided.

I thought so…

“Hmm?”

Everyone except Eris raised their hands.

“… Are you kidding me? Did you sneak up on me?”

Eris doubted her own eyes to the extent that she thought so.

“Is there any way you could have screwed up?”

To that, Junice retorted.
He came out early in the morning and his golden hair was a mess.
There was no place where his hair did not stick out.

“I didn’t have time to squeeze and play because I was in a hurry?”
“Then why did everyone decide to believe in Venus?”
“I don’t believe it.”

Junice answered briefly.

“I just thought it would be good to use as an ally.”

Junis had a similar experience to Eris.
He poured his blue lightning over Venus, who had intruded into his own dream.
Venus avoided it and subdued Junice with a finger poke.
And while teasing Junis, Venus had a heartfelt conversation and revealed that he also wanted to stand on the side of the demons.
It’s a bonus that he declared that he would listen to anything he wanted.

‘I’ll do anything. So trust me.’

I can’t believe there are all the gods that I cling to, throwing away all my pride.
Junice laughed out loud in embarrassment.
He also suspected that perhaps he was doing this to deceive himself.

However, Junis did not doubt the conclusion that Venus would be a very useful ally.

“We have to get into the middle of enemy lines. I don’t know where it is, and I don’t know how they’ll come out. Even if we can crush them, they are not idiots.”
“…”
“Wouldn’t it take a capable ally to defeat them?”
“You mean you want to use his ability.”
“Exactly.”

He’s an ambiguous guy to trust, but his ability is acknowledged.
Accept it as an ally and use its abilities.
This was Junice’s opinion.

“I also agree with Junice.”

Riviera agreed with Junice.

“I don’t know if Venus really cares for us. But it is true that I hate goddesses.”
“…”
“Considering that, wouldn’t it be enough to accept her as an ally, Eris?”

Venus terribly hates goddesses who treat their creations as insignificant.
He wants to quickly destroy the heavenly world that sealed him.
To that end, he declared that he would go under the demons.

Since he is a god united with a spirit of vengeance, wouldn’t he be able to use it as an ally?
That was Riviera’s opinion.

“I agree with Grandma too, sister.”

Leah also carefully said why she raised her hand.

“I could feel it too. How Venus detests the gods above.”
“Are you going to accept me as an ally just by looking at that?”
“Yes.”
“It’s a big deal to accept me as an ally too.”

This time it was Archmage Diana.
She also met Venus in her dreams,
After talking with her, she came to a conclusion.

“I have a vengeance, but I think the key to stopping the heavenly realm lies with Venus.”
“Did you tell me how to occupy the heavenly realm without disappearing?”
“Yeah, did you hear that too?”

Eris silently nodded his head.
Judging by the fact that the others don’t look surprised, they also seem to have learned from Venus how to devour the celestial realm.

“Everyone has heard, so there is no need to explain.”
“But, can I really descend?”

Anne, who was sitting next to Diana, asked anxiously.

“To think we had to descend Venus with all of us as hosts. Do I really have to?”

Venus taught Eris and the others how to do it.
A way to occupy the heavenly realm without destroying it.
A way to keep the heavens from collapsing even if Freyja’s safety is in danger.

‘Bring me down. All of you possess me. I’ll take everything from Freya and turn the heavens into a new continent.’

Advent yourself to the heavenly realm.
Its own power is too strong for one person to accept.
So, all the members of the subjugation party should become hosts.
Then I will bring you the authority of the heavenly realm.
I won’t take your will or soul, so please leave it to yourself.
I’ll be back when it’s all over, so please believe in yourself.
So appealed.

“I am afraid that we are crossing a river of no return.”
“I don’t think so.”

Aion directly refuted Anne’s concerns.

“He said he would do anything for us. He gave us strength. He laughed and moved on even though we were talking arrogantly.”
“However, to base it on that…”
“It’s not enough. But he was not lying in what he said.”

Aion saw right away that Venus did not lie.
If I was doing this, there should have been something out of place, but there was nothing like that.
I was able to confirm their strong will to sincerely want to be with them.

“So I will believe. I hate to ignore the words of those who try to appeal to their beliefs.”

So believe
No matter what the consequences may be, first of all, they will believe in their true mother.
That is the conclusion Aion made.

“I am of the same opinion as Aion.”

Like Aion, there was one more person who decided to believe in Venus.

“I don’t think Venus is making fun of us either.”

Selena, Queen of the Succubus.
She, too, judged Venus to be completely unambitious.
If there had been, she would have insisted right away, ‘You shouldn’t believe in that god’.

“I mean everyone had those thoughts.”

Eris could roughly understand why she raised her hand.

“Why did the three remaining people raise their hands?”

Three people who have yet to comment.
Looking at Emilia, Lilia, and Arietta, Eris asked.

“… Do I have to ask for that?”
“Hmm?”
“He deserves to be an ally, he doesn’t lie, so we have to argue that he can be trusted?”

Lillia, who had been listening silently, finally opened her mouth.

“I have no reason, sister. It doesn’t matter if it’s good or true. I just believe.”
“Why do you think so?”
“Because you are my mother.”

It was a very simple idea.

“Because she is a mother who really cares about us. Because she is the mother who wants us to succeed.”
“…”
“Is it wrong to trust such a mother?”

Because she is the mother who gave birth to us.
So you believe
There was no other reason for Lilia.

“I also agree with Lilia’s words.”

Arrieta was in a similar position to Lilia.

“Aren’t you our great mother? Then wouldn’t it be reasonable to trust him?”

Venus does not treat his creations simply as objects.
He regards them as his precious children.
Didn’t you treat me like a child every time we talked?
It can be seen as proof that they value us.

Wouldn’t it be disloyal to question and doubt such a person?
Arrieta thinks so.

“… Is your mother of the same opinion?”
“Huh.”

When Eris pointed it out, Emilia nodded as well.

“Eris, I want to believe in that god. Better than a goddess who treats us like bugs.”
“…”
“Isn’t it the lungs that such a god unconditionally doubts?”

If she had been no different from the goddesses, she would have brainwashed Eris and the others long ago.
Because Venus can exercise such authority.
But Venus didn’t.

‘Emilia, I don’t want to be the last parent.’

Because they are precious
Because I have no intention of doing such a terrible thing to my precious children.
Venus told Emilia that she never intended to be an ugly mother who would sacrifice her children.

‘So trust me. Huh?’

Emilia couldn’t see Venus who appealed like that as a hypocrite.

“Eris, how are you? Do you believe in Venus?”
“I can’t believe it.”

Eris answered right away.

“How can you believe in a God who suddenly appears to help you? I looked like a guy who was aiming for fisherman geography.”

The appeal seems sincere.
But I don’t want to open my heart completely.

Because he is a god
Eris couldn’t believe it even if the rookie guy tried to seduce her with various words.
It is the same now.

“I promised to do this or that with words, but I don’t believe it. There is no need for mere promises.”

Even if Venus herself decides to give up her position as a god and become her daughter, the same is true.
I didn’t want to fall into a fool who gave everything to mere verbal promises.

“If only God would show us through actions, not words.”

But if he does what he likes.
Unless you’re a clown with wild ambitions.
If they had sincerely decided to level their eyes with them and fall down.

“I will believe.”

I will accept it.
That was Eris’ policy.

“Then are you going to follow the path Venus suggested?”
“That…”

At that moment, the conference room door slammed open with a thud.

“Demon King, this is an emergency!”

It was General Viper.
I was in such a hurry that I ran out in a hurry.
Everyone was startled by the sudden appearance of the general.

“What’s the matter?”
“The heavenly world, the heavenly world…”

Shocking news came from Viper’s mouth.

“The heavenly realm is right in front of you!”
“What?”

There were only 20 hours left until the celestial system crashed to the ground.
