Spirits, beings more mysterious than anything else.

There were quite a few people who were even known in the mystery, but those spirits were attached to me.

Except for Marie, I can’t really see it, and it seems like I can only feel it.

“The spirits are also following the evil spirit.”

Just as she said, starting from the historic site earlier, she never left my side for a moment.

Even when I tried to push it to break away, it just got stuck again.

“Yes, it definitely sticks together.”

“Spirits also like those who are loved by nature. My mother also likes my father, so that must be the case.”

When I saw her smiling, I felt an uneasy feeling somewhere.

I don’t know why, and I don’t know exactly what’s going on, but it’s as if something huge underneath me has prepared and is targeting me.

My instincts and intuition were telling me that something was not clear.

Of course, given that intuition is always vague and uncertain of not properly predicting the future, this thought was not a very good idea at the moment.

I may not trust Marie, the child who trusts me, but isn’t that just like doubting me?

“Of course, the World Tree also said good things at that time.”

Although it was clearly a corrupted world tree, it had the nobility of a world tree that did not appear to be corrupted.

It’s actually a bit like that, seeing as he doesn’t go to any lengths to stop Mari even though he knows she’s doing this.

Well, how about it?

“Well, by the way…what did your father do here?”

Veronica also seemed curious about what we were doing.

So, I slowly told the story from before, starting with the golem.

And using his powers, he gave the children here eyes to see spirits.

“Hey, this is a spirit…”

“Could you please take this away? It would be a hindrance if I saw it in front of my eyes when I was assassinating.”

In Caesar’s case, he refused eyes that allowed him to see things he could not see for reasons that were Caesar’s, but others found it quite fascinating.

“Now that I think about it, Marie, there really isn’t a single spirit around you.”

“Oh, I’m not close to spirits? To be exact, I went to the Spirit King’s contractors and killed them to corrupt my mother. Oh, of course, I can still use spirits.”

She said that and smiled.

Yes, yes.

I think I now know why I didn’t know you were an elementalist until now.

If I had incurred the wrath of the Spirit Kings, it would have been difficult to use elemental arts, of course.

It was a sufficiently understandable reason.

“By the way, Therasia wasn’t the only one gathered… Huh, I understand that it’s good to come to the ruins, but…”

“Sir, teacher! I need your help!”

When I heard Terasia hurriedly calling me from far away, I quickly used my abilities.

How big of a deal is it for her to ask for help?

“Sir, I found a secret passage leading deep into the ruins here… aren’t you curious?”

Stairs leading down to the ruins.

Secret passage.

Are you suddenly curious?

Why was the golem lying on the ground just now?

Could it be that they were wandering around to protect this passage?

Literally fifty thoughts passed through my head.

“Let’s all go down together.”

The result was a heartbeat that resonated in my chest.

Secret passage.

How many men in the world can leave this behind and just move on?

Hmm, okay.

At least that’s not me.

“I guess I should bring the kids.”

I went back and explained the whole story.

Some of them had sparkling eyes, and some seemed annoyed, but they followed what I said.

In the end, I was able to head down to the bottom of the ruins as I wanted.

“Wow, it’s amazing that you hit the magic stone like this.”

“Evil God! Look at this! It’s so shiny!”

Of course, the most exciting things in the basement of these ruins were Adele and Terrasia.

Adele, who has a pure childlike appearance, was simply amazed by the space itself, and in the case of Terrasia, it was curiosity and inspiration as a scholar.

In addition, Cecilia was planning to release these large sums of money into the black market, and Abel seemed to be thinking of erecting a statue.

Wait a minute, they’re still trying to put up a statue?

“This… is the emblem of the evil religion. Mari, maybe in the past…”

“This looks like a relic from long before the Evil God Church even came into existence. Does the Evil God know anything about this?”

“…Well, except for you, I have no interest in those who believe in me. So, excluding you, I don’t even remember the evil religions of the past.”

“That’s too bad.”

Marie smiled brightly as she said that, and Therasia looked truly disappointed.

By the way, it is the symbol of an evil religion.

That’s unusual.

“Then…this must be the evil religion before we believed in our father.”

It seems like there was a lot of rotten money back then.

If you look at it being fully armed with these ridiculous materials that are not even ordinary materials.

And yet, when I was possessed, the power of the evil god religion was so weak?

Has it fallen from the past?

“They certainly believe in their father. To think that they would use spirit stones and magic stones to build a statue… they must have been wise in their own way.”

No, not that one.

These are kids I don’t even know.

Don’t look like you’re trying to imitate something like that.

“Anyway, building a temple underground like this is amazing.”

The king of the Kingdom of Pernium, he was also a believer in evil spirits.

If you think about it, there may be more people in this desert infected with evil spirits than you think.

However, considering that the current evil religion and the desert are not on good terms with each other, the past seems to have been buried in the past.

“This place is quite amazing. Even though it is a huge temple, they would do something like this to make sure that its majesty is not forgotten.”

A temple was built using the bones of corpses.

I don’t know if this makes sense, but seeing as it was magically processed, it seems like it was sincere.

When these children called me, they built a temple out of bones like they did human sacrifices.

It seems that the evil religion itself has not been normal since the past.

“Is this…a picture of Abel and Veronica? Wait, this is weird.”

Caesar picked up a strange photo and started muttering to himself.

So, I went to the side and checked the photo, and there was a photo of people who literally looked exactly like Abel and Veronica sitting next to each other.

“It’s not us. We were fugitives before we joined the Evil God Church, and after we came in, many things happened so we couldn’t afford to take pictures with Veronica. Perhaps the magic of that time could not have been implemented to this level…”

“…There must have been a prophet involved.”

“It’s probably a painting of the prophet’s memory. Literally, the memory was pulled out with magic, so it feels like a photograph.”

Prophet.

Prophets must have existed in the distant past.

They predict the appearance of the devil, the destruction of a great organization, or the birth of a hero and the future of a warrior.

As they were inherited from the distant past, the only thing we could know exactly about Chanel was its identity.

“If it’s true, they are formidable people. I can’t believe they were able to do something like this.”

We wandered around the outside and then moved inside.

There were quite a few interesting things inside the temple.

For example, they were written about Damian in the past that I didn’t know about.

[Our God looks over all things in the world, created all the negative things in the world, and chose to fight directly with the God of Creation. God did everything by himself, went into a small room and sealed himself, to God…]

After that, they stopped talking, but you fought directly with the God of Creation?

Considering that he was able to do this on his own, it would mean that the evil spirit grew in strength as he received a lot of faith, which would clearly mean that the evil spirit was preparing something.

And the passage about sealing oneself in a small room.

Was it really necessary for such an evil spirit to seal himself?

This could mean that this too is part of his plan, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to read Damian’s intentions.

Why on earth did they prepare so much for their relationship with the Creator God to be amicable, what is the original work, and why is it here?

The things that I couldn’t figure out just kept increasing.

“Evil God, are you okay?”

Beatrice said that when she saw me lost in thought, but I smiled and acted as if nothing had happened.

“No, it’s nothing. Thank you for your concern.”

Well, what if you don’t know Damian’s identity?

Anyway, I am the owner of this body now, and if acting the way I want is the same as what Damian wants, then I will do it that way.

Of course, if it were different, he wouldn’t do what he wants according to my will.

Because I am an ordinary person who likes to take sides and show favoritism.

“Okay, I’m done looking around.”

We were able to come out again after confirming all the evil religions that were hidden underground in the ruins.

With the end of a long, long journey.

Before I knew it, I had returned to the Evil God Church, which had become where I was meant to be.
