It was a place that was transparent, clear, and filled with five colors. After leaving the divine world and returning there again, Maria swallowed her sleep.

‘What is this space…? .’

“Are you curious about this place? I would have answered that it is a ‘road’ that leads to anywhere.”

“If I could really go anywhere… How is it different from teleportation magic?”

“It’s different, how can a simple movement and almighty power be the same.”

“Are you saying you are omnipotent? Only the Lord is omnipotent and omnipotent.”

“Put. That sounds ridiculous.”

Kanos let out a sarcastic laugh. Maria realized she had read her thoughts and gave a slight shudder.

“Saint, this is where you are headed.”

Kanos waved his hand in the air. A transparent circle hung in the air. It was a circle with a white haze rising like smoke.

“Gate of Life. All souls enter the body through this place.”

“This is… It is the realm of life and death. Why are you, devil, involved?”

“I don’t see why I need to answer.”

“… .”

An intangible force enveloped Maria’s body. Even though Mary’s legs were clearly still, she moved toward the door of life of her own accord.

‘Soon… The karma of cause and effect comes to an end. It’s bittersweet.’

‘From now on, every day will be busier. I have to take care of Joker’s work… Because more than anything, we have to stop that demon lord.’

‘The devil has such great power, why does he want to use it for evil things? no… I don’t understand why you want to be stimulated before that.’

When she reached the doorstep of life, Maria summoned her divine power and resisted Kanos’ telekinetic power. Maria stopped moving for a moment and asked a question.

“Let me ask you something.”

“That’s rude.”

“Why is the Demon King trying to destroy the continent?”

“Because there is no reason not to destroy it.”

“Continents are home to countless lives. It is a place where many dreams and hopes bloom. Does the Demon King have a taste for finding joy in trampling on their dreams?”

“Ha… You’re being annoying.”

Kanos rubbed his head nervously. Her long hair fell over, revealing her tall forehead.

“Saint, do you think you cut down life by chopping firewood with an axe?”

“… Yes?”

“To me, you are like that. Kill or not, no feelings or emotions. Do you feel joy? The answer is ‘no’. What kind of crazy person would find joy in splitting firewood? Throw away useless trash in the trash can. That’s what the continent is to me.”

“What… Not being able to feel emotions when harming life means losing the ability to empathize.”

“Do you know that now? I don’t know empathy. I’ve never felt any emotions. To me the world is gray and gray. There is no light or darkness.”

“I understand… .”

“I wear sunglasses because I want to see at least the darkness, but even then I can’t see the darkness. And don’t try to understand me. If you could understand me, and if I could understand you, saint, I would have been a warrior and not a demon lord.”

Kanos muttered in a gloomy voice.

“I just want to feel stimulation. It’s an impossible hope even for the omnipotent me, but you never know. Will the miracle-working Joker bring me a miracle? A life-and-death fight where my life depends on the stake… Wouldn’t it be possible to feel stimulation at that level? That’s the only thought.”

“There is such a thing in the world… Is it possible?”

“I’m trying to find a reason for what’s going on in the world. This is really stupid.”

Kanos’ finger went up and pointed at Maria’s thick chest.

“Right now, even you don’t understand that you fell in love with the Joker five hundred years ago.”

“That’s because I felt love for Joker.”

“Emotions? Then why did you feel that way? The Joker is an evil man. Does this mean that the saintly woman has a tendency to feel affection for evil men?”

“Pun… .”

“Yes, it’s a pun. When you try to find a reason for your feelings, it becomes a play on words. Just as a female sometimes falls in love with a male whose taste is completely opposite to hers, the world is full of things that happen for unknown reasons.”

Once again, an intangible force pushed Maria’s back. Maria was helplessly sucked into the Gate of Life as her strength grew stronger.

Toward Maria, who was disappearing toward , Canos spoke in passing.

“Good luck. If you save the continent and win love, you won’t be able to sympathize, but there will be no other life that is as successful as that. What kind of love game is that… .”

Ssaaaa-.

A transparent halo of light surrounded Maria.

*****

After sending Saint Mary away to the continent, the Demon King Kanos is left alone.

She stared at the spot where the Gate of Life had disappeared for a moment, then turned her head, opened a new door, and entered.

Vast darkness enveloped Kanos. Well, in Kanos’ view, it was neither light nor darkness, but something gray.

Spirit world.

The God Realm, where the gods reside, the Demon Realm, the land of demons, the Heavenly Realm, the celestial space, and the Continent, the land of mortals.

– A very unique and special dimension that is completely different from the others.

‘The biggest prison.’

Basically, the spirit world is a prison. To imprison someone.

A strange world that has no bottom or end, but is neither round nor concave.

Those trapped within it will wander the spirit world forever. Although it has a scaffold called a cross, it is the only structure in the spirit world.

After entering the spirit world, Canos went to the cross where the Virgin Mary was buried. A cross so large that it contrasted with Mary’s small body stood tall in the center of the spiritual world.

Kanos flew leisurely to the cross. There was no one anymore at the front of the cross, where Mary had been buried. There are only marks from the nails that pierced Mary’s wrist and the cross.

however.

The situation on was different.

The back side of the cross. A place where a person tied to the front cannot see both sides of the sky unless he stretches his neck like a snake.

There, an old man was stuck in a position similar to Maria. He was an old man with a body so shrunken that no trace of life could be seen even after washing his eyes, and a withered face reminiscent of a mummy.

“Extinction is not far away.”

“… Kanos… .”

My lips were as dry as an earthworm after a rain. A voice cracking like a wasteland experiencing a drought chanted the name of the Demon King.

“Jusin.”

******

Even if you call Mary into your rosary or use the tell spell. Now there is only silence. It means that there is no Mary on the other side of the rosary.

It also means that Maria was born on the continent.

It was 701 Imperial Calendar when Maria asked me to come to Eden Academy. And now it is the year 683 of the imperial calendar. It will be 18 years later that I will enter Eden Academy.

But now I can move as much as I want. Now that the saint has been born, there is no history that cannot be changed.

There are two things I need to do right now. The first is to raise my pet goblin meta into a god. Since I am a meta who has developed a lot of skills so far and also has natural talent, I am sure that I will succeed in this life.

The second is to participate in the baptism of Saint Mary and sprinkle holy water with my own hands… I just won’t do that.

The desire to do it is still like a chimney. But why give up? That’s because I want to prove that I have changed.

The saint hopes to meet me again at the academy. And he doesn’t want to show me his childhood. It doesn’t really make any difference in the country.

If it were me in the past, I would have ignored other people’s feelings and went for it recklessly. Then, he must have disguised himself as a priest and sprinkled holy water on the saint. However, this is clearly an act of ignoring the saint’s feelings.

Yes, this too is another ‘development’. How can I ‘control’ my desires for the sake of others!

I suddenly get goosebumps seeing myself doing things without hesitation that would have been unthinkable in the past. I am also filled with pride.

You can meet the saint 18 years later, when her identity is fully formed. This is ‘consideration’, ‘altruism’, and ‘good deed’! If the Lord sees me, I am sure he will consider it special.

“Oscar, where are we going now?”

Meta, who was walking next to me, asked me a question. I smiled and answered.

“I’ll let you know when it arrives.”

“Yes… Well, aren’t the others going with you? Beatrice or John… Uriel too… Why is it just me and Aru… .”

“They? No, if you interfere, you’ll be in big trouble.”

“Are you going to do something important this week? ?”

Meta asks a question with a surprised face. The fear of the unknown future is written all over their faces.

Baby, you have worked hard so far. Now you become a god.

The birth of a new god in the world is a huge event that completely changes history. I couldn’t have done such a big thing before the saint was even born.

But now there is nothing to hesitate about. Therefore, I will put the into action right now. why? If more time passes, I will have to enter Eden Academy.

God is not created suddenly. Creating a god is only possible when a vast amount of faith is gathered together. Of course, it takes quite some time. In my previous life, it took three years.

“Kung! Kkkk! Young demon! Why are we the only ones going? Other humans!”

“Aru, be quiet! What kind of wolf is so loud!”

“Grrr… ! Where are you going! Kkkk!”

Has this wolf bastard become attached to his colleagues? Why is there so much backlash?

The reason why only Aru and Meta were brought in to make Meta a god is simple. No matter how much my existing group believes in me and follows me, creating a god is in a slightly different area. Should I say that I will not just sit back and watch?

Except for the main god who created the world in the beginning, all gods are created solely through faith. What is faith here? Isn’t this the group’s fanatical belief?

There is a law of causality in everything in the world. In other words, equivalent exchange. When you change something, something else is created. It is no different even on a mental level.

For example, let’s say A is passionately in love with Eul. To the extent of the love A gives to B, the people around A and E, or B, will be affected. That is the result of causality at the mental level.

However, faith has no ‘object’. Because we wish for something that does not exist. The energy of faith that has no place to go wanders the world.

However, if too many people embrace the same faith, the missing energy becomes too large. Only then is God born. Like the current Olympian gods or the Asgardian gods.

And this is just common sense: God is an area in which humans should not dare to interfere. Occasionally, a crazy squire like Taeseus, the god-slayer, emerges, but if a human dares to harm a god, he or she receives great criticism.

Even more so if you say you want to create God… Tsk tsk. In my eyes, it is fantastic, in the eyes of the Emperor of the Empire, it is a combat weapon, but in the eyes of the general public, it is a crazy, crazy demon. This means that just for having an idea, you will be taken to the Inquisition and burned at the stake.

Although King John is my colleague, he is essentially an apostle of Saint Irowell. Additionally, Beatrice Constantino was once a faithful paladin. Needless to say, Uriel dreams of becoming an archangel. No, Uriel is the biggest problem more than other humans.

In the end, all that remains is Aru, who has no common sense whatsoever. This is the object that I will establish as a defense law when I promote Meta to a god. And above all… In order to gather faith, you need to maintain extreme concentration, but if there are too many people, it can be quite annoying. I feel anxious because I don’t know when an accident will happen.

Hmm, after I thought about it up to that point, I realized that I almost made a big mistake. Now, Aru will be my only guardian, but if I make a mistake with Aru, I could be screwed like a warrior who lost his luck and got into trouble.

I calmly put down the hand that was trying to scratch the back of Aru’s head. Aru, who had been challenging me, tilted his head. Because I smiled infinitely and gently and stroked her head.

“Kouong? Why are you so nice to me all of a sudden?”

“There is such a thing. Anyway, don’t ask about other people. Because when the time comes, we will meet again.”

“Keng… When will that be?”

“You only need to sleep for about ten nights.”

Actually, it was thousands of nights, but I said ‘sleep’. It is not wrong to say that from now on, Aru will not be able to sleep because he has to protect me and Meta.

“Ten nights… It’s short! You can see it soon!”

“Okay, okay, aren’t we kind? I’ll give you some meat when I go back later?”

“Kung! meat! Wow!”

After all, a dog is a dog. When you give it meat, its eyes change. Forgetting about your colleagues’ work.

“Umm… I’m nervous because it’s important… Chwiik… .”

Meta makes goblin sounds for the first time in a while. The guy immediately gets surprised and covers his mouth. I chuckled.

If you can control yourself to that extent, it is safe to say that everything is ready.

“No need to worry. just… You just need to be a little prepared. Then I will take care of it.”

As I placed my right and left hands on Meta and Aru’s heads, I spoke these words. To reassure them.

Beatrice, Nioh, and Uriel. I ran away without them knowing, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t take action. I wrote letters to all of them and left them with their own tasks to do.

My steps are light. I’m already looking forward to a future where I’ll be a big hit to the gods.

*****

“My lord has disappeared. I left behind an unknown letter.”

Oscar’s faithful knight, Beatrice, fluttered a piece of correspondence proudly.

“Leader? no wonder… I haven’t seen you since morning… .”

“Demon! I have to go find it! Colleagues must not fall!”

John, the human king, and Uriel, the angel, each gave their own responses. Unlike Uriel, who responded that he thought it would be the case, John seemed quite surprised.

Beatrice was unfazed and stopped him. Reading the first line of the letter given to me.

“No, my lord left a letter telling me not to look for him. and… You told us what to do while you were away.”

“Assignment? What?”

When John asked with wide eyes, Beatrice lowered her brown eyes. The next moment, her eyes brightened.

“To the continent’s empire… Create a virtual family with a clear identity. and… .”

“And?”

“Eden… At the academy… Taking up a position as a teacher… ? What does this mean… ?”
