“Ha··· Look at this guy···?”

When Croton was having fun with Reika.

There were beings watching it.

“What’s going on?”

“The Kingdom of Zeoph is acting strangely.”

In the center, the current appearances of Croton and Reika were reflected.

Surrounding the place, various beings opened their mouths.

“That’s the place where we were going to assign warriors to fight the Demon King.”

“But if we do it right, our plan will go awry.”

“No. That’s a place I’ve deliberately saved.”

They were all ‘gods’.

To be exact, it was a being that split off from one god.

Depending on the form being worshipped, the personality and appearance also varied greatly.

Some looked like ordinary people, while others resembled giant beasts.

“But what happened that made things go wrong”

“Look at that.”

“What about a lowly orc? There are times when lowly guys succeed in hunting women. We even made it happen on purpose.”

“That’s not it. Look at the woman that orc is mingling with.”

“Ah! Have you seen that woman? Maybe she’s the princess and the next heir to the Kingdom of Zeoph?”

“What···? A princess··· What the heck··· This is ridiculous.”

Most of the gods looked at Croton, who was reflected in the center, as if they were amazed.

Originally, orcs were low-level monsters with no influence.

A monster that is extremely helpless unless the gods deliberately intervene.

It was hard to believe that such a being could have taken over a country’s princess and heir and have sex with her.

“What the hell happened? What is the god in charge of the orcs doing···”

“Look, it’s my job, but I can’t do anything about it. I’m not omnipotent after all.”

“Tsk···”

Although they were worshipped as gods, none of them were omnipotent.

To be exact, he simply had special powers in his field.

Even if one had the power to control lifespan, one could not shorten one’s lifespan at will.

“What’s wrong with that guy? He just ate a princess.”

“That would be better. Not long ago, he even ate a saint.”

“Ah! I remember that guy! He was the orc who ate the saintess of my church!”

“What the… You even ate a saint…? Well… It’s great, but still…”

“Not only that, he embraced women from all walks of life, from soldiers of the kingdom to high elves.”

“That’s definitely a bit··· strange.”

If you throw a stone and accidentally hit a frog and it died, you would just think it was bad luck.

But if a typhoon came crashing down after throwing a stone, anyone would have thought it was strange.

It was obviously strange that the orcs had this much influence.

“Who gave that guy the ability he has?”

For a moment, silence fell over the surroundings.

They looked at each other, their heads turning, but no one came forward.

“No one? Is that possible?”

Since they were all gods, there was no reason to hide or lie.

“I think there must have been some kind of mistake. There are often cases where something gets missed during division and ends up in the system.”

“It means irregular.”

“In times like this, I think it would be better to go back to the way things were.”

“That’s it. We’re so divided now that we can’t go back even if we want to.”

“I don’t know. If there’s something that can be united···”

“Enough! Let’s stop talking nonsense and discuss what to do with that orc guy.”

The noisy space became quiet as the most powerful being with the power of the sun shouted.

“Doesn’t everyone have any good ideas?”

“How about asking the guy who runs the Kingdom of Zeoph? That would be easier to intervene.”

“Well said. I have a plan that might be useful to you.”

“Then tell me what the plan is.”

Everyone’s eyes were focused on the female god.

She, with her vague figure, gestured towards the center where the croton was shining.

Then another figure appeared.

“Ah! That woman···!”

“Isn’t that the girl who tried to make that guy’s party member a warrior or something?”

“That’s right. They’re called great wizards or sages or something like that”

“The real warrior hasn’t even been born yet, but everyone is impatient.”

“How are you going to use that woman?”

“I’ve given that child great power. It’s enough to connect with us, even in our dreams.”

“That’s right! You’re giving a revelation!”

“But what kind of revelation are you planning to give? Even revelations have many limitations. If we’re not careful, we might end up getting in trouble instead.”

Revelation was often a message from God to humans.

This was also a method they often used in the past.

However, because it was more divided than before and its powers were intricately intertwined, there were significant limitations.

“Just making contact with her will be enough. She is called the Archmage, so she will be able to figure out what the princess is doing and what kind of orc she is.”

“Isn’t that a too easy plan?”

“If there’s another way, do it yourself. Hedon. You’re talking a lot even after eating a saint.”

“Keep going···! You little bastard···”

“Okay, then let’s just leave it to her for now. If it doesn’t work out, there’s plenty of time to think about it later.”

“Hey··· If this continues, the war between the Demon King and the Hero might be delayed.”

Although they all discussed it together, none of the gods here took Croton seriously.

After all, he was just a mere orc.

Even if plans go awry, the gods have time left.

“Something feels strange···”

Only the goddess, who alone possessed the power of fate, felt something unknown.

*****

There were numerous mansions in the capital city of the Kingdom of Zeoph.

They were built for a variety of purposes, from mansions for nobles to villas for royalty.

But among them, there was one mansion where only one person lived.

It was the mansion of Theana, who was called the Archmage.

“Today, the research progress is not as good as I thought.”

Theana frowned slightly and glared at the magic book.

What she was studying now was the magic said to have been used by the forgotten dragon.

She spent a long time slowly deciphering the content that was difficult even for high elves to understand.

This was possible because she was a genius magician who was considered to be the greatest in history.

A mana amount comparable to that of a high elf, who has been familiar with mana since birth.

Calculation power that can easily implement even complex magic.

The ability to read intermediate magic and cast it right away.

She possessed all the virtues required of a wizard, and was treated as a special being even in the kingdom.

“I need to take a deep breath first and then wake up and think about it.”

Theana stood up, closing the grimoire she had been reading.

‘I wonder if something fun will happen.’

Studying forgotten magic was Teana’s only pleasure.

But that doesn’t mean I was satisfied.

There was nothing else to enjoy, so I just kept holding on.

Out of boredom, Theana headed to the bedroom with her eyes half-closed.

Normally, I wouldn’t get tired even if I looked at the grimoire for hours, but today, I felt unusually sleepy.

‘I’m strangely sleepy…’

As I threw myself on the bed, almost collapsing, her eyelids drooped as if they had been waiting.

My consciousness was hazy, as if I hadn’t slept for days.

“Can you hear me?”

At the unexpected voice, Theana tried to get up.

But, not only would his arms and legs not move, he wouldn’t even open his eyes.

What was strange was that my embarrassed voice came out even though my lips didn’t move.

“What··· What is this···? Is this a dream···?”

“I’d like to explain that point, but unfortunately, I don’t have enough time.”

“Who are you?”

“I am the goddess of wisdom. ”

“Goddess···?”

At the mention of goddess, Theana felt a moment of doubt.

But the sudden clarity of mind that seemed strangely unrealistic for a dream could not be explained.

“The reason I’m speaking to you directly is because the princess has been possessed by an evil orc.“

“Evil orc… I don’t understand why God would speak to me just because of an orc.”

“Wow···! He’s that dangerous, so I’d like you to take care of him. ”

Surprisingly, the voice of the being who revealed herself to be a goddess was filled with annoyance.

I didn’t think much of it, but it bothered me that a human would talk back so arrogantly.

Above all, it was a blow to one’s pride to give a revelation to an orc or something like that.

It seemed like my mind was being turned upside down when I spoke about it specifically.

“I’ll think about it.”

As soon as she answered, Theana’s eyes opened again.

Her mind was so clear that the conversation just moments ago felt like a lie.

‘Okra… It might be surprisingly fun…’

Teana had no intention of subduing the orcs yet.

I was just curious as to why God gave such a revelation.

Even for gods, it was difficult to predict human behavior and psychology.
