Chapter 76: GM’s Meister (1)

Ding!

Marfa, who had been diligently managing the broadcast system, jumped in surprise at the sudden appearance of a system window in front of her.

“…A message from the Lord?”

Looking at the message, which seemed to have come directly from the GM, Marfa quickly adjusted her attire.

She couldn’t afford to be seen in such a state when a message had been delivered directly by the Lord, her Master.

After preparing herself reverently, both body and mind, through a ritual bath, Marfa prostrated herself in worship before opening the message screen.

• You have obtained the title [Saint of the GM].

“Ho…e…!”

Upon confirming the content of the message, her legs went weak.

“Oh, Lord… How could you bestow upon me such an honor beyond measure…!”

She collapsed to her knees, offering worship once more.

The tears flowed from her clear eyes like streams.

“I will worship You with all my body and soul. I will eternally spread Your name and bring glory to You!”

From Albus’ perspective, it was merely a title given for appearance’s sake, but it was enough to completely captivate a succubus who had never once felt true affection.

The GM has appointed a saint!

The shocking news, which had been taken as an open secret in the broadcasting world, spread across the continent.

When Albus conferred the title of saint upon Marfa, the title [Saint of the GM] appeared next to her blue badge on the broadcast screen.

The news erased any doubts about whether she truly was a saint, whether she was even a woman, despite being an apostle and representative of the GM.

“I told you! Given her cute way of speaking, the blue badge must belong to a fresh, lively academy girl!”

“What are you talking about! A saint, a saint! Surely she must be a lady with a generous heart! To become a saint directly protected by God, she must possess a great reservoir of holy power!”

“No way! The GM’s first saint, the savior of the beastfolk! It must be a woman with lots of fur!”

Because nothing concrete had been revealed about the one with the blue badge, countless factions were embroiled in debates over her true identity.

However, there was one fact they all could not deny:

Since she was the first saint appointed directly by the GM, the one with the blue badge was an attractive woman who enjoyed the GM’s full favor.

And the story goes that thanks to her, a [miracle] had descended upon the continent.

It must have been to authenticate that story that the GM made her a saint.

“Praise be to our savior, the GM and his saint!”

“Long live the GM! Long live the Saint!”

“Hu-eeh! S-so embarrassing!”

“Hahaha! Such a pure reaction, befitting a saint!”

“You beastfolk! Stop teasing our saint! Our saint is a person untainted by the secular world!”

“Ahahahaha!”

Despite having persuaded the GM to save all the sick, she sought no gain and gave all the glory to the GM.

The saint listened to and responded to the stories of all the viewers, from the lowly to the high.

Her every reaction was like watching a small, precious daughter, a cute saint.

Anyone who came to the broadcast even once and saw the saint with the blue badge was captivated by her charm.

Yet no one could have imagined that she was actually a succubus, a species that should have been the furthest from purity.

Meanwhile, Albus was stunned by the divine power flowing in, far exceeding his expectations.

He had thought that making her a saint would have some effect on increasing divine power due to Marfa’s popularity, but he hadn’t expected the effect to be this great.

“Is this… really okay?”

Albus, who had often caused ridiculous butterfly effects due to his position as the GM of Rudera, couldn’t comfortably laugh even at the good things.

Bang!

The saint with a grim expression slammed the table hard.

“A saint’s appointment, huh.”

The GM who appointed a saint and an apostle and then used them to advance his influence across the continent.

He had appointed a dirty and vile demon to the position of saint, allowing a depraved woman of the devil to contaminate the continent.

How many brothers and sisters had been deceived by that despicable woman and died in vain?

But the people of the continent, unaware of such facts, were only excited by the adorable appearance of the GM’s saint.

“They’re all mistaken.”

Watching the [miracle] of the GM healing all the sick, she wondered if she had misunderstood something in her previous life.

Is it that the GM contains both ‘G’ and ‘M’, and if the benevolent ‘G’ is devoured by the malevolent ‘M’, he might become an evil god like in her previous life?

She had been confused for several days, her head spinning, but after seeing the continentals become fanatics, falling head over heels for a single saint, Ekklesia cleared her mind.

“The GM is an evil god. I will only destroy that evil for my Lord’s sake.”

She slapped both her soft cheeks lightly, taking stock of her situation.

The Pope, who should have been her strongest ally, was in a state of confusion, only seeking Deus after witnessing the [miracle].

If she could gain his help, forming an anti-GM army to destroy the GM would be much easier, but in his current state, it would be a waste of time.

Not only the Sacred Kingdom, but she also needed to quickly gather her comrades from her previous life to oppose the GM.

‘Is this where my journey ends? Sigh… I at least wanted to confess my feelings, but with the saint around, I couldn’t do it in the end. Saint, please take care of him for me… at least my share.’

‘W-wait a minute…!’

‘I am the Meister of Dwarfs, forged from mountains and earth! From this moment on, none shall pass me!’

“Orrun. If it’s her…”

The saint thought of her comrade from her previous life, who had sacrificed herself to protect her and her Lord.

When those of noble blood among the elves undergo a rebirth through awakening, they become a race known as the High Elves.

Dwarfs also had a corresponding higher race, known as the Dwarven, the pinnacle of artisans.
Born as a Dwarven, she inherited all the talents an artisan could have, becoming the greatest Meister in history.

However, due to an accident in her youth, she had to live with a permanent disability.

Though despondent, she had spent decades shut away in her room, but she stepped forward under the cause of defeating the god, using her brilliant mind…

Though she may not remember her past life now, surely she would choose to join her.

Surely.

And her joining would lead to the joining of the dwarf race.

The saint summoned a holy knight and ordered him to prepare a horse.

She would meet Orrun, reveal her memories of the past life, and convince her.

She would form the Anti-GM army to oppose the GM.

“Please wait just a bit longer, my Lord.”

She wanted to run to him immediately, but she had to hold back.

To be with her Lord and live peacefully, raising children like toads, they must save the continent first.

“Hyah!”

The saint, now alone on horseback, began to gallop toward the deep mountains of the canyon.

“Lot… 01.”

The dwarf woman, who appeared to be in her teenage years by human standards, stood blankly, clenching and unclenching her hands repeatedly.

As she confirmed that her hands had completely recovered, her face lit up with joy.

Her hands, which she thought she would never use again after the accident ten years ago when her magic circuits were completely burned out…

She had heard that no existing technology, no divine power, could ever heal them.

“My hands… they’re healed!”

Her hands had returned to their pristine state before the accident.

“This is a miracle! The GM’s [Miracle]!”

Orrun, the greatest genius in Dwarf history, clenched her hands tightly.
