Chapter 101: I’ve become an angel, but…

After witnessing Kanora being officially recognized as a religion in the newly established land of freedom, I was finally able to leave that world.

“How is it? Awesome, right?”

“No, I mean, that was quick. Sure, you spoon-fed me, but you’re really fast.”

“Now, as promised, lend me your body.”

She wanted me to offer my body quickly.

“Lend my body? You’re my follower, but how can you be so crude?”

“You’re such a shitty goddess. You owe me that much.”

“Shitty goddess? Weren’t you praising me earlier?”

Yeah, I like her.

But that doesn’t mean her personality is good.

They say what’s inside is more important than the outside, but in this goddess’s case, she’s rotten on the inside.

However, her appearance is truly divine.

“I meant your body is good, not that I like you.”

“When you first came to Earth, didn’t you complain about being sent in this body?”

“That’s one thing, but this is different.”

Honestly, even now, I still wish I were a man again and that this body of hers was my girlfriend.

It’d be even better if her personality matched mine.

But that’s impossible.

So, I don’t mind being in a woman’s body as long as I can have fun with the goddess’s body.

“This is part of your awakening quest, you know.”

“Oh, right.”

I almost forgot.

From now on, I’m officially an angel.

That means I’m on a higher level than humans, right?

This is great!

Being stronger will make it easier to smash the Demon King’s skull.

“Well done. You’ve now ascended from being just a follower to becoming an angel who serves me.”

Wow.

Clap clap clap.

Impressive!

Now that I’ve awakened, can I spread my wings?

“An angel, huh? That sounds pretty legit.”

“From now on, you won’t just be a fake angel with wings and a halo. You’ll be a real one.”

Oh, I like the sound of that.

“Is there any special perk?”

“Well, your halo, wings, and aura will look more natural. Also, as an angel, you’ll become immortal and stronger. And there’s a special weapon for angels. Before, your cheat-level nun outfit took damage from the Demon King, but now your angelic body is strong even without wearing that outfit.”

The wings and halo will look more natural?

I mean, up until now, they felt like mere decorations.

“A special scythe?”

“Yes, a scythe.”

A scythe?

Like the one I’m thinking of?

“A scythe? It’s hard to break skulls with that.”

“Doesn’t an angel carrying a mace seem kind of lame?”

Does carrying a scythe look cool?

Well, maybe.

“But why a scythe? I’m an angel.”

“You serve the goddess who governs death. What, were you expecting a holy sword filled with righteousness?”

No, I wasn’t asking for that, but why a scythe? Wouldn’t a spear or a hammer suit me better?

“Hm, I’ll try transforming into my angel form.”

“To be precise, your angelic form is your true self. Just tap into your inner self and bring it out.”

I decided to give it a try.

The method was surprisingly simple, as if I’d always been an angel.

I felt something inside me being drawn out, like I was awakening my true nature.

Heh.

My inner darkness…

With a feeling reminiscent of an edgy teenager, I awakened my deep, dark nature.

Flash!

Six black wings emerged, and my nun outfit disappeared, replaced by something far more revealing.

Naturally, my lower half felt incredibly exposed.

It felt like I wasn’t even wearing anything, with extremely light undergarments.

My chest felt the same.

“Why does this feel more like a succubus transformation than an angelic one?”

I mean, I get the concept, but this seems a bit too much.

Isn’t the goddess’s taste a little too obvious?

“A succubus? That’s harsh. Doesn’t the black and white combination look great?”

“Be honest. You just like stripping people, don’t you?”

To be fair, if I look in the mirror, I’ll probably get excited, but it seems like the goddess just enjoys undressing people.

“Seriously, stop viewing things from a human perspective. You’re an angel now, so this is how it should be.”

With the goddess saying it like that, I had no rebuttal.

“Hmm. Indeed, with a body like this…”

I could have a fun time looking in the mirror.

“And it sparkles too.”

Yes, my body sparkled.

More accurately, sparkling particles floated around me.

The halo above my head wasn’t just a simple ring; it had sharp points that would make Neipir envious—a spiky angelic halo, almost like it was entwined with thorns.

Shimmering diamond dust scattered everywhere.

It felt like an upgraded version of a passive skill I had before.

And the scythe…

“Yeah, it does look cool.”

It was a black scythe, sleek and minimalist, with unnecessary decorations stripped away.

It felt light, designed to smash skulls efficiently—even the goddess’s.

“Anyway, that weapon should be perfect for breaking the Demon King’s skull.”

“Oh, it’ll definitely do the job.”

With this, I could surely take down that hulking brute.

“But my body hasn’t changed much, has it? I mean, externally.”

“Of course not. Your appearance was already based on mine from the start. There’s no need for further changes. The only differences you notice are likely from the sparkle and other enhancements.”

Yeah, is it even possible to become more beautiful with this body?

It’s practically at the final boss level of appearance.

“There’s even a tiara on my head.”

The nun outfit wasn’t bad, but suddenly switching to this?

Wearing this regularly might be a bit risky.

“You can change your outfit anytime. Just think of it as a game skin. Change into it only when you’re in angel mode. You can summon and dismiss it as you wish.”

“And?”

“Aren’t you aiming to become stronger? Why are you so hung up on looks? Anyway, your power has increased, hasn’t it?”

Yeah, she’s right.

But still, isn’t becoming more beautiful a good thing?

“Since this body is both me and my partner, isn’t it great that it’s becoming more beautiful?”

“That’s why it sparkles, doesn’t it?”

“Hmm. Can I go back now?”

Yeah, I’ll just go with it.

“Go ahead. Show the others—demonstrate the beautiful and powerful strength of the first disciple and angel of the Church of Kanora!”

“What about the wings and halo I had before?”

“I transcended your current wings and halo. Just like in games, you can exceed the limits of the same items, right?”

The goddess really plays a lot of games.

So, I returned.

And when I got back, I was summoned right in front of the goddess statue, looking majestic with my wings spread wide.

Neipir, who was munching on chicken in front of me, stared.

“I’ve completed my awakening quest.”

I fluttered my wings and twirled like a ballerina.

“You seductive wench. Are you trying to flirt?”

“What? Why are you picking a fight?”

“Why don’t you just walk around completely naked?”

The moment I got back, Neipir, with her annoying comments, pissed me off.

How dare this lowly angel?

“Doesn’t it turn you on? My body turns me on.”

“Oh holy saint. Have you become a saint in a different sense?”

Now even Succubus, the pride of Korea, was mocking me.

“Do you want your skull broken? If you think about it, it’s not that indecent.”

Yeah, it’s just a revealing dress, right?

Like something a goddess from Greek or Roman mythology would wear, with a bit less fabric.

Or so I thought.

Smack!

Neipir flicked my forehead.

“No, you idiot. It is indecent. Even if you’re in angel form, this outfit is way too much to wear regularly.”

“Okay.”

Yeah, she’s right.

Even another angel like Neipir thinks so.

This outfit really is indecent.

That goddess sure is lewd.

“But that angelic halo of yours… what’s with that? It looks even cooler now.”

“Pretty, right? My halo gleams atop my head.”

Your god can’t do this, right?

Can’t do it, right?

I stuck out my tongue and mocked Neipir.

“How’d you do it? Even your wings are sparkling. How many enhancements did you go through?”

“They said they transcended my original wings and halo during the angelification process. You know, like leveling up the same item.”

“That goddess of yours, Kanora, is she a game developer or something? Like, what if she’s a developer among gods, the one who created your world? Or maybe we’re actually living in a game.”

Hmm, I can’t deny that.

“What happened to that goddess Priscilla?”

“Oh, right. Yeah, that’s a good point.”

“Oh, and by the way, Commander—no, Revolutionary Leader.”

I had something important to tell him.

“What is it? You were here? Wow, damn, you’re sparkling like crazy.”

“Enough with that. Look at this.”

I handed the revolutionary leader an item.

“What’s this?”

“It’s a photo of the victory your freedom fighters achieved, raising the blue flag over the chairman’s palace after defeating that tyrant.”

It was a picture I took before leaving that world—capturing the moment the red flag in front of the palace, where the fat tyrant sat, was lowered and replaced with a new blue flag bearing a white star.

The blue flag was created by the deceased Supreme Commander, who was also the leader of the revolutionary forces.

“Oh… Ohhh! H-how did you get this?”

The revolutionary leader stared at the photo in disbelief.

“It was part of my awakening quest—to spread the ideals of the Blue Revolution and the Kanora faith in that world. The freedom fighters have established a democratic government.”

“Thank goodness… sniff.”

The revolutionary leader trembled with emotion, clutching the photo in his hands.

It must’ve been moving for him, considering how hard he fought against that corrupt fat regime in that world.

Apparently, he was quite successful in that world too.

“Revolutionary Leader.”

“What?”

“Kanora, the goddess, has designated you as the savior of that world. In fact, you’re now considered the first disciple of the Kanora faith in that world.”

In other words, you now hold the same position as I do in that world.

I trust you’ll continue working hard for the Kanora faith.

“I’ll be counting on you from now on.”

With this, the revolutionary leader had no choice but to accept that he was also a disciple of Kanora!
