Ch.4141. You’ve Made It

    I got a bite.

    “Oh.”

    -Thump! Thump!

    An ominous power pulsating from within Kalisa.

    After applying pressure for a certain amount of time, a response that seemed properly ripened pleased me.

    ‘Playing the victim now is crossing the line.’

    I didn’t like it from the very beginning.

    What’s the point of trying to hide until the end while occupying a position as a constellation?

    So I just gave a little encouragement, that’s all.

    Like the other constellations I knew, and those now established in this world.

    I want them fresh—bastards from beginning to end.

    That was the current state of “Ragnarok” that I had played.

    ‘Come.’

    Sensing the divine power that was leaping up desperately, I deliberately opened myself to allow the attack.

    “Incarnation of the Black Sun: …!”

    ‘You know this, right?’

    “Incarnation of the Black Sun: Danger…!”

    ‘No… huh?’

    This one is acting like they don’t know anything despite being the one getting attacked.

    -Thwack!

    A black-forged secret move.

    The divine power of the Eternal Slumberer pierced through me precisely in the form of a skewer.

    “Ugh.”

    The moment I felt the sensation, I immediately cast a blessing.

    Advanced Blessing, Pain Resistance.

    I didn’t forget to use the skill “Blood Spitting” for a more dramatic effect.

    “Cough!”

    -…What, what is this!

    The Lord of Dragons, who had been standing blankly beside me, was shocked.

    -Getting hurt…?

    His uncertain attitude changed to a serious one as I coughed up another blood clot.

    ‘That’s it.’

    Just put aside any strange suspicions and immerse yourself in the given situation.

    I’m in the position of coming to rescue.

    But my believer is being held hostage by that bad guy, and I’m even being attacked?

    Wow, this bad person.

    If this were a community, they would have achieved the status of a legendary constellation that would be flamed for 24 hours straight.

    ‘Congratulations on your debut.’

    I secretly left a congratulatory message to the Eternal Slumberer.

    ‘You’ve made it, man.’

    Making a constellation the most constellation-like.

    This is one of my greatest satisfactions.

    -No, that’s not it…!

    I heard an indignant voice from somewhere, but it’s not my concern.

    Right now, I had the responsibility to elevate this situation to the level of art.

    “Ugh.”

    I distanced myself from Kalisa while showing signs of considerable pain.

    Even so, I couldn’t escape from her enlarged shadow, but by now the situation had become even more urgent.

    A being that even an Absolute, a constellation, was struggling with.

    The Eternal Slumberer, a constellation with an evil nature that had gone to extremes.

    Such a constellation, despite being driven to the limit, was resisting without ever yielding.

    “Incarnation of the Black Sun: Absolute, are you okay…?!”

    “Child of the Lost Star: There’s a problem with the flow of divine power.”

    ‘All of you shut up.’

    I silenced the two constellations who were getting too immersed among themselves and continued to focus on the situation I had created.

    What could there be?

    What would a constellation whose eyes have gone crazy do, even injuring me who has risen to the position of an Absolute?

    ‘Right.’

    “Self-destruction.”

    -What…?!

    To the Lord of Dragons who was urgently questioning beside me, I spoke with a haggard expression.

    “He’s planning to self-destruct.”

    -Self-destruction! Self-destruction, you say?!

    “Yes. At this rate, the divine power inside Kalisa, and even all of us here, will be in danger.”

    And thus came the scenario.

    The mindless self-destruction system activation.

    “Constellation ‘Eternal Slumberer’ howls asking what you’re talking about.”

    “He must have decided there’s no answer. As expected of the evil constellation who kidnapped my believer.”

    -This despicable…!!

    The Lord of Dragons wailed, and Kalisa, transformed into a dragon, let out a low cry worrying about my injured body.

    “Believer ‘Kalisa’ feels great guilt about injuring you.”

    ‘No, it’s okay, it’s okay.’

    Our believer has done nothing wrong.

    The ones at fault are these evil constellations and the world that is no different from their playground.

    I wiped the blood trickling from the corner of my mouth and looked at the Lord of Dragons who was flapping his wings and stamping his feet.

    -What should we do! At this rate, Kalisa, my daughter, might die!

    The keyword I threw was self-destruction.

    If we do nothing, everyone dies.

    Still, as someone of the same status.

    A self-destruction directly led by a constellation might really be dangerous.

    Not just the explosive power, but you really don’t know what might happen.

    But constellations are beings who value their own interests and lives more than anyone else.

    It’s a frame I unilaterally imposed, but right now, the Eternal Slumberer is probably desperately thinking of ways to survive.

    “I need help.”

    In the midst of this, I spoke to the Lord of Dragons.

    -What help! Is that a way to save Kalisa!

    “Of course.”

    Manage expression. Manage expression.

    A very urgent situation, if help doesn’t come right now, the life of my believer Kalisa might be in danger.

    With such image training, I spoke to the Lord of Dragons.

    “Transfer some of your authority to me.”

    -What?!

    “Listen carefully!”

    I grabbed the Lord of Dragons’ large head with both hands.

    His golden pupils trembled with confusion.

    “An ordinary believer might not be able to withstand a constellation’s self-destruction, but if she receives some of your authority, it’s a different story.”

    Assuming a constellation bomb goes off here, who would be in the most danger?

    The Lord of Dragons and I could just cancel our divine manifestations, but not Kalisa.

    Her physical body was bound to this earth.

    Therefore.

    -B-but still.

    “Are you abandoning your believer? Not precious to you?”

    -Right now, her believer is…

    “You were directly involved in her birth, right? The essential components are different, you know?”

    A subtle trick of mixing among multiple facts.

    Seeing the Lord of Dragons’ reaction, who seemed almost convinced, I decided to add one more spoonful.

    “Only you can do it.”

    -….!

    “In this situation, only you can help Kalisa.”

    The Lord of Dragons’ eyes turned toward Kalisa.

    #

    Only you can do it.

    The Absolute Ron’s last words echoed in the Lord of Dragons’ mind.

    In his head now, all the humiliations he had suffered because of the Absolute, and his worry and longing for Kalisa, were mixed together.

    Right now, he felt like a hero using his power to save his daughter.

    ‘Only I can do this.’

    The Lord of Dragons, with renewed determination, made a decision.

    “Constellation ‘Lord of Dragons’ gives ‘Heart of the Celestial Dragon’ to ‘Kalisa’.”

    A treasure he had set aside for her who would one day succeed him.

    A precious heart containing the power of a constellation, something that could not be exchanged for anything else in this world, moves from the Lord of Dragons to Kalisa.

    -….!!

    Kalisa was surprised by the sudden influx of enormous power, but soon instinctively accepted it.

    -Whoosh!

    A vast display of divine power signifying a rise in rank.

    The Lord of Dragons, and even the Absolute.

    The constellations present witnessed the miracle unfolding around Kalisa.

    “Believer ‘Kalisa’ resonates with the ‘Heart of the Celestial Dragon’.”

    “Believer ‘Kalisa’s rank rises one more level!”

    ‘Nice.’

    “Incarnation of the Black Sun: No, how could this…”

    Seeing Ron who had easily obtained the dragon clan’s treasure with just a few words, the two constellations watching the situation were at a loss for words.

    Heart of the Celestial Dragon.

    An overpowered item that allows one-sided tanking in battles between believers using divine power.

    I knew he had it.

    Because in world lines where Kalisa doesn’t become my believer, she would inherit his constellation position.

    But now my believer has even received his exclusive item?

    ‘Man, this is sweet.’

    This is why I go through all this trouble.

    I deliberately let myself get hit and aimed for a dramatic production.

    It was to get the response of the actors who would illuminate this stage.

    I felt cheerful as I recalled the time when I was actively engaged in Ragnarok.

    Pure fun.

    ‘It’s fun. So fun.’

    Now for the next part.

    Looking at the two constellations and one believer who didn’t know what to do, I decided to prepare the groundwork for moving towards the highlight.

    “Okay, well done.”

    -With this! Can Kalisa survive?!

    “Of course. Naturally.”

    There’s actually no self-destruction, but to avoid giving the impression that he was deceived, I gave a minimal response.

    Color returned to the large reptilian head.

    “Now you go.”

    But now he’s no longer needed.

    -…Huh?

    “I’ll handle it directly from now on, so go.”

    -T-that.

    “Don’t you trust me? Kalisa is my believer too.”

    When I looked at him without a smile, the Lord of Dragons flinched and distanced himself.

    Now that he’s spat out everything, it’s time for him to leave.

    -O-okay.

    But the Lord of Dragons has no choice but to follow my words.

    The reason he’s so obedient.

    In matters related to healing and protection, there’s no constellation in this world that can match me.

    Moreover, in this urgent situation where a constellation is preparing a bomb by sacrificing its own life.

    In such a situation where every second counts, all the Lord of Dragons can do is unilaterally trust and follow me.

    -Whoosh…

    After watching the Lord of Dragons’ form disappear, my eyes met with Kalisa’s, who was looking at me with worried eyes.

    “Whoa.”

    One of her eyes is bigger than me, which is overwhelming.

    It was quite an exciting height difference.

    My current position is at Kalisa’s chest.

    If she were in human mode, it would have been very uncomfortable, but now transformed into a dragon, magnificent muscles are covered with scales.

    “Believer ‘Kalisa’ worries about your safety.”

    “Ah, it’s okay, it’s okay.”

    I would have liked to have a leisurely conversation, but now I needed to sort out the situation.

    -Knock knock.

    I try tapping Kalisa’s chest with some force.

    A dull impact comes back as a rebound.

    -Thud! Thud!

    When I raise my fist and hit with all my might, only then do I feel the impact getting through.

    -Groan…!

    “Constellation ‘Eternal Slumberer’ responds.”

    ‘So you’re doing well.’

    I’m really curious about how you’re feeling right now.

    Isn’t it good?

    Constellations like getting attention, don’t they?

    “Constellation ‘Eternal Slumberer’ fiercely resents you!”

    “Oh, really.”

    It’s just cute noise that only I can hear anyway.

    “But, didn’t you expect this to happen?”

    But a resentful feeling suddenly emerges.

    “Whose believer did you mess with?”

    Revenge thoroughly. Fun entirely for me.

    Since constellations are rotten from the core, when you catch one, you need to properly establish discipline.

    And if they perish in the process?

    That’s their share.

    “What if Kalisa had really been hurt? What if I had lost my believer?”

    “Constellation ‘Eternal Slumberer’ feels fear.”

    “I think I would have been truly sad. As if the world had collapsed.”

    So.

    “Do you wish to antagonize the church of constellation ‘Eternal Slumberer’?”

    “You understand too, right?”

    I decided to take the maximum measures I could.

    #

    -Clunk!

    Lisia, who was munching on a meat skewer, flinched.

    A sensation as if her blood was turning cold.

    Looking to the side, she saw Herien’s face, also looking at her seriously.

    “This is, what on earth.”

    “I’m returning immediately.”

    Lisia returned to the palace where traces of the Father God resided, with a hardened face.

    After that, she headed to the prayer room equipped in the palace for emergency worship.

    The energy that had descended was not ordinary.

    It was clear that some revelation had come down.

    “….”

    Lisia immediately knelt down silently with her hands clasped and concentrated to connect with her Father God.

    Hostility, constellation, his church.

    The blurry message gradually became clearer, pointing to the enormous intention contained within it.

    Eventually, after finishing her prayer, Lisia rose quietly and turned to look at Herien.

    “What… what happened…?”

    “A revelation has descended.”

    Lisia, among his believers, was the quickest to understand the true meaning of the revelation.

    “How dare they.”

    -Hiss…

    And she was furious.

    “How dare they.”

    A cold flame consumed her inside.

    Lisia tempered the beast that wanted to rampage immediately with coolness.

    “My Father God has been desecrated.”

    A sinister aura settled on her face, which was usually as gentle as a puppy’s.

    Once, in the days when she spread true truth and love to the world in the name of the Father God.

    It was time for her to return as Lisia, the apostle of the Father God, who had brought down numerous constellation forces and churches.
