Suddenly becoming a god does not mean that you will judge the wicked. It’s not like I’m going to stop being human either. Of course, it wasn’t something I just said.

“How can you say you want to become a god so easily…? No, is it possible?”

“They say there is something difficult about it.”

The reason the hero and I have conflicting feelings is probably because our understanding of God is different. From the perspective of a warrior who has become stronger than anyone else thanks to the power of the Holy Sword, God is omnipotent and perfect, no matter how much he looks up to him.

On the other hand, the God I think of is a little different. Isn’t faith ultimately based on faith? Therefore, it would not be an exaggeration to say that if he could receive the faith of all people, he would already be a god at that moment. To summarize, if the God the warrior thinks of is Yahweh, then the God I think of is Jesus. According to the Trinity theory, both beings are God, so it is an appropriate metaphor.

Anyway, when I explained the concept of God from my perspective to the warrior, she looked confused. I didn’t think it was a concept that was that difficult to understand, but I guess it didn’t resonate well with me.

“Is it a bit difficult?”

“No, it’s not that I don’t understand… So in the end, how are you going to receive faith from others? In the end, no matter what, you need the trust of others. Or were you hiding such transcendent power?”

If we were to look for something that the gods here have in common, it would be that they possess tremendous supernatural powers that cannot be fathomed by ordinary living creatures. It is said that the god of humans created this planet, including the stars in the sky, and the god of elves is said to have created all things in nature… I don’t know if that’s just what they say, but things like the holy sword and the bow of the World Tree that I have. Since it was tangible evidence, it was natural that the belief was solid.

“It is a transcendent power. This is a body where the divine power they believe in does not work, so isn’t this also a transcendent power in some way?”

Let’s change our thinking. It is said that the problem is that the power of the holy sword does not work. If you dare not be affected by the power of the Holy Sword, there may be a case where you are witch-hunted as a traitor to humanity more terrible than the Demon King. So, the point of what I was saying was, what if, on the contrary, they claimed that God is a being so transcendent that the power of God that humans believe in cannot work?

“The idea itself is good, but the problem is that the proof method undermines the authority of existing gods. To claim to be a true god requires a different set of abilities. Creating something.”

Ultimately, the preemption effect is important. I agreed with her that in order to argue with a stone that had rolled in, we had to show more. However, it was impossible to create an ability that did not exist.

‘It’s shameful… This planet and nature were definitely not created by humans…’

It was something I couldn’t say out loud in front of the warrior, so I swallowed it.

“And there’s one more thing. If you are a god, then what on earth would you say is a god in charge? Who are the tribes that believe in you?”

“Because we are a religious race… dragons… would be impossible.”

Even if I had Arjen, who couldn’t live or die, she couldn’t represent all dragons. Even if that wasn’t the case, there was already a precedent for openly talking about love dolls and such in front of the Count of Eletrobe.

As the conversation continued, problems kept popping up one by one, and I screamed as my feelings became more complicated.

“Oh, I don’t know! Just trust me like you do other gods! Listen carefully, if someone asks you, hero, who I am, tell them that I am a god from another world. Does the public have a concept of a different world?”

Arjen, the dragon, read my thoughts and easily believed that I came from another world called Earth. The hero also did not tackle Kaela’s words mentioning another world when the holy sword did not work on my body, so the people here probably also know the concept of another world.

“It’s the concept itself. However, since I can’t prove it and no one has been there, it’s within the line of not completely denying it.”

“That’s enough.”

It didn’t matter whether you believed it or not. After all, the important thing is public opinion. In the first place, there was no need to threaten one’s safety at all. Since Arjen is on my side and the warrior cannot touch me due to the oath, there is no reason to fear human power. Rather than just a physical threat, the thing that bothered me the most was that public opinion was turning people’s perception of me into a rag, so an excuse like this would be enough to prevent them from casting me out as a malicious person.

“No, fuck, thinking about it makes me angry. Why should I worry about this?”

The warrior was startled by my self-talk, but I paid it no mind and did not hide my anger. When I think about it, the only thing I harmed them by coming here in the first place was spreading tuberculosis. They are the ones who sacrificed me as a human being, so if we ignore them and move on, wouldn’t I be a hero who prevented a meteorite?

Of course, it was Arjen who personally stopped it, but anyway, if it weren’t for my request, I wouldn’t have been able to estimate how much the human population here would have decreased since that day. But it was strange that I didn’t get annoyed when they kept sending people like that because that damn holy sword didn’t work. Even that damn holy sword wasn’t my fault. That bitch named Stella is just fucking incompetent.

“Well, I can’t tell lies either.”

The warrior looked at me carefully and spoke in a hushed voice. Come to think of it, I heard that warriors also have a kind of discipline that prevents them from lying to others. No matter how you looked at it, it was impossible to call me a god when I was just a human being.

“Then just tell me that I am from another world. This is an undeniable fact.”

A person who came from a different world, was impervious to the holy sword, received the love of the World Tree, and saved countless humans from a ‘meteorite’, one of Stella’s creations. If you use a recipe based on these three ‘truths’, there is no problem with just seasoning the rest in moderation. I didn’t know that I would have to live and live in another world and act like a cult leader.

“Ah, okay. But will you be okay? Even if you revealed that you came from another world… didn’t you want to hide it?”

A warrior is worried about my safety. I don’t know if it was because of the oath that no harm should be done to me, or because of the passion that developed from having sex yesterday and today, but it was very amazing.

“I can’t help it. It’s a fact I hid to avoid causing friction, but if I don’t reveal it, it will ruin my image.”

Now the moment has come when I have to pray that the fact that I am from another world will not cause as big a stir as possible. No, not a person from another world, but a god from another world.

“Uh… So are you the god who receives the faith of the people of this world?”

The warrior asked me a very contrived question. I immediately understood what she meant by asking this. Since she couldn’t lie, I needed to lie. After clearing my throat a couple of times, I strained my throat and answered in an acting tone.

“Keuhum! okay. Human warrior. I am from another world, and I am the god who receives the faith of the people there.”

Wow, what just happened was truly so solemn that even Lee Man-hwi would cry. Of course, I don’t mean it. I couldn’t help it because I felt like I would die of shame if I didn’t think like that.

“I see. okay. You’ve had a hard time too.”

“Uh-huh, what are you to God? There is a name called Eugene.”

While they were checking how many hairs there were on the bottom of each other, it was strange that the two of them were making fun of each other, so they playfully yelled at each other, and the warrior burst into laughter.

“Puhup… Okay, Eugene.”

“Okay. Good luck to you, warrior.”

“Well, don’t call me a hero either…”

“Oh really? Then what is your name?”

When I thought about it, I realized that I hadn’t even spoken to the hero yet. Of course, there was no reason to make a full statement until now, but with this incident as an opportunity, it seemed like we would run into each other often.

“Wayne. My name is Wayne.”

“Okay, Wayne. Please tell the story to the Vatican guys.”

When we met, we shot arrows instead of greeting each other, but when we parted, we were able to smile and wave to each other, which was fortunate.

“The meeting was bloody, but the breakup was smooth.”

“It’s thanks to me, right?”

“Yes, thanks to Arjen.”

It’s no joke, the relationship with the warrior has become more flexible and preparations for the Holy See have become possible. I couldn’t help but feel sick to my stomach thinking that all of this was thanks to the ‘threesome’.

***

“I’m afraid to talk…”

On the way back after relieving the accumulated sexual desire that I had no idea what to do with. Wayne sighed inwardly as he looked at the group he encountered just before entering Eletrobe. Clothing decorated with gold stripes on a white background. Even children as young as three could tell that they were members of a religious order.

“I was waiting for you, warrior. Have you been safe so far?”

“Yes. I am glad that the Archbishop is not in any trouble.”

The guards might have flinched at the choice of words that could not be considered very respectful towards the archbishop, but no one even moved. As long as the warrior has a holy sword at his waist, Wayne’s authority is higher than that of the Pope and will never fall.

The archbishop himself also got to the point without paying any attention.

“I am fine, but the Holy Father has been worried recently and I am very worried.”

“If you say you are worried…?”

Wayne spoke carefully. There was a mixture of expressions of a desire to break up and say what they wanted to say as quickly as possible, but the archbishop said what Wayne most wanted to hear at that moment.

“It’s just frustrating because I have no way of knowing. The warrior’s help is desperately needed to resolve the Pope’s concerns.”

“Then….”

“Yes. Would you like to head to the Vatican with us?”

At first glance, it seemed like an encouraging tone, but of course the warrior could not refuse the Pope’s request for a meeting without a reason, so it was practically an order.

“Is it possible? I hope I can help.”

Wayne secretly closed his eyes while saying those words.
