Chapter 351 – God of Hope (8)

[Kaak!]

The God of Hope vomited something .

It was reddish .

It looked like blood .

“Amazing . ”

He’s throwing up blood like a real human .

No matter how human he looks, it’s essentially still a substitute .

He couldn’t vomit blood after being beaten .

The God of Hope was still in human form .

The limbs are broken .

The skin is burnt .

The hair is burnt out .

He had a human form, but it did not look like a human .

Rather, it seemed like something in the process of becoming a human .

It seemed more disgusting to have the intention to maintain that form .

[Isn’t this too much!]

The God of Hope cried out .

I was at loss for words .

“So who wants to do it in vain?”

[So did I not apologize?! I have promised to make amends already . ]

As soon as the God of Hope made sure that I would not be affected by the trick, he immediately surrendered .

Of course, I attacked the God of Hope and he surrendered .

Practical gains were also important, but emotional relief was more important than that .

[It can’t be like this…… . ]

There’s no way it can’t be .

The skill of the God of Hope was certainly amazing .

He used the gap in the mind to encourage some emotions and used them as material to create a sense of pressure .

A feeling of pressure created by my own emotions, not by the power of the God of Hope .

It was a kind of pressure that could not be easily shaken even by a god .

Rather, it was done more easily because I was a god .

Because a god is bound to be trapped by himself all the time .

However, my case was a bit special .

I am very sensitive to sensations such as pressure .

I immediately focus and get excited at the other person who exudes pressure like a dog facing its prey, especially if I feel great pressure .

“Ehhyo . ”

I set up the fallen chair and sat down .

That’s good .

As the excitement cooled down, the mood became despondent .

[… If you’re done hitting me, would you do something about this sword?]

The God of Hope said, pointing to Seregia, which was stuck in his heart .

I thought about it again .

Had I hit the God of Hope enough?

I decided that it was enough .

“Seregia, good job . You can go back and rest . ”

I didn’t even have to pull her out .

Seregia, on her own, was pulled out of the heart of the God of Hope .

And she flew in the form of a sword, tore the space, and returned to Earth .

[… What on earth did you do to that sword?]

The God of Hope, looking at the place where Seregia tore apart space and disappeared, asked in a desperate voice .

What did I do?

Yeah, of course, I did a lot of things .

I had tried so many things .

[Have you ever been stabbed by that sword? If not, you will be stabbed sooner or later . It must be full of hatred and vengeance, and it must be looking for an opportunity to stab you . ]

Said the God of Hope .

I just laughed .

There is no such thing .

I could affirm .

On the 60th floor, I had tried so many things with Seregia .

Countless experiments that had tried to go further, to get stronger .

They were bizarre and cruel experiments that I tried in order to challenge the limits of my imagination, and now it was disgusting to look back on them .

I was always suffering from shortages there .

The samples were too few .

Only myself and Seregia had no objection to experimenting .

In the end, about half of the experiments were conducted on Seregia .

Most of them were meaningless experiments, but sometimes they had significant results .

What I mainly studied at the time was divine power .

It was because the clash with the gods seemed inevitable for my goal of getting a Tutorial .

How can I get the power of God?

How can I amplify it further?

On the contrary, how can I counter the divine power?

I always thought about it and found a solution .

The divine power was, in the end, a power that was supplied from the outside through connection .

That connection was key .

It was the identity and divinity of the god that connected the god who received strength and the believer who gave strength .

I had heard the explanation of the incarnation from Kirikiri .

The incarnations used by the gods in their activities were by no means all of them .

There couldn’t be a concept such as ‘the gods’ true body is damaged when their incarnation is hurt’ for gods that symbolizes an idea or image .

God was immortal and perpetuated as long as there was his divinity and the believers who supported him .

In the course of making a body, I experimented with assimilating Seregia with a replica .

When I tried to assimilate Seregia, who had already been in the ranks of the gods at that time, with a replica, I discovered a surprising phenomenon .

Seregia and some of the assimilated replicas were no longer powered by the God of Heaven .

It was an amazing phenomenon .

I defined the phenomenon as divine pollution .

The identity of one deity is altered just by attaching another deity to it .

Eventually, the incarnations, gods, and apostles of the god whose identity has been altered due to contamination cannot be supplied with power from the original divinity .

It was a temporary phenomenon .

However, it was also a surprising phenomenon that, even temporarily, could completely prevent the supply of divine power between incarnations or apostles and their original deity .

Although it cannot completely annihilate the existence of a god, it was excellent at subduing the incarnations of the other gods .

The supply of divine power can be prevented by injecting Seregia into the incarnation of the opponent’s deity .

It is possible to invade the realm of other gods by tearing the barriers created by the divine power like paper sheets .

I could have destroyed an attack with divine power .

It was something we could do because it was Seregia .

Seregia herself acted as a catalyst for pollution .

It was possible because she was maintaining her character as a god .

If Seregia was a god who achieved the deity through faith gained from other believers .

Immediately after attempting to assimilate with another god, both the god and Seregia would have been neutralized .

However, Seregia, who does not possess the faith of others in the first place, is not neutralized by the contamination of the divine .

Her connection with others does not exist .

It was something I couldn’t even try .

Even if I risk being neutralized and try to assimilate with other gods, there is a high possibility that I and the other god will be destroyed instead of being neutralized .

Right now, for example, look at the God of Hope wriggling like a worm .

To be arbitrarily assimilated like that, his divinity collapses in on itself .

Divinity cannot mix harmoniously with other divinities .

No matter how harmonious the concept of divinity, it is impossible .

I could be sure .

Quite meaningful experimental results existed .

In any case, the presence of Seregia is a great force in the battle against the gods .

I use all kinds of miracles .

In the end, since the essence of gods can not mix, the significance of Seregia in the battle between the gods in a simple firepower battle was enormous .

I felt like I was the only one holding a weapon in the middle of the battlefield .

It can block the opponent’s attack or break through their defense .

A powerful weapon that through just swinging it at them, would leave them breathless .

It was one of the reasons for my confidence in victory .

The reason was the God of Hope, murmuring in front of me .

[It was an elaborate avatar…… . ]

The God of Hope took out a hand mirror from somewhere and looked at himself .

His hair was all burnt up, but his hair regrew when he touched his bare head . The features that had melted down were reborn when he touched his crushed and stuck face .

The appearance of restoring the incarnate body that had become rags seemed pitiful .

It was a battle that occurred because of the manipulation of the God of Hope .

However, thanks to that, meaningful experimental results were obtained .

First of all, even to the God of Hope, Seregia’s powers worked without any doubts .

The God of Hope also recognized Seregia as a weapon of extraordinary power .

It was very valuable information .

* * *

“Okay, let’s work together . ”

There was enough information .

The value of the God of Hope was sufficient .

Cooperation itself didn’t look bad either .

In the meantime, there was a possibility that the God of Hope would aim for the back of my head .

That was also something I had to bear and overcome .

For fear of the consequences of failure, the means of cooperation could not be ignored .

Instead .

[Then I’ll go back now . ]

“Where?”

[Huh?]

The God of Hope asked again .

“There’s no holy ground anyway . Why don’t you stay here?”

[… That’s a bit difficult . I wouldn’t be able to live forever in a space made like an asteroid . ]

It was a lame excuse .

It didn’t matter .

Anyway, I had no intention of letting the God of Hope continue on this asteroid .

“I have prepared a place for you to stay . ”

[What……?]

I took out what I had prepared in the subspace .

[What is that ugly barrier?]

Yong-yong was a special collector .

Again, if you don’t want to get hit in the back, this method is the best .

I should hit him first .

“What is it? This is where you will be staying for the time being . ”

[That’s impossible!]

Where is the impossibility in this?

The God of Hope was not in a position to reject my words .

The terms of the transaction were cooperation and exchange of information .

But I had already received enough information .

It’s cooperation, or whatever you can get out of this .

Besides, if there is no condition for future cooperation, I can attack the God of Hope again at any time .

In the petty name of rejecting my offer .

[How can confining a partner be called cooperation!]

It could be .

If you are a partner who is likely to cause a fall out by hitting the back of my head, it was the right decision for each other’s cooperation .

[Forced!]

“Yes, it’s forced, correct . So, do you want to go in nicely or go in roughly?”

[I’ll go in nicely!]

It was a quick judgment, a good judgment .

The God of Hope went into the collection bin on his own .

The space readjusted the size by itself .

Soon, the collection bin was reduced to the size of a table tennis ball .

As the collection bin narrowed, the God of Hope, which had maintained the form of a human girl, finally returned to the form of a flying insect .

It was like a firefly, a flying bug that gave off a small light from its body, but it looked really good when it was trapped in a small collection bin .

[Will you release me someday? You will right?]

“Well, I’m not sure either . Someday, if I feel good, I can release you, so wait with hope . ”

[…… . ]

I got this good faith battery .

[… I have one more thing to tell you . ]

“What . ”

Is there any way to escape?

The God of Hope paused for a while and said .

[Some time ago, the Hundred Gods Temple defined you as a god, one not affiliated with them . ]

It was information I knew .

I heard it from Kirikiri .

After hearing the information, I was somewhat embarrassed because I lost contact with Kirikiri .

I was anxious about whether the Tutorial transfer and the quest would happen .

If so, I really had to fight the Hundred Gods Temple gods and get consent .

[That means the name of the Hundred Gods Temple no longer protects you . For the time being, you will have to pay more attention to the Pantheon than the Hundred Gods Temple . The time left until the clash is not long . ]

The God of Hope said calmly .

He was thinking that a dispute would come from the Pantheon .

The problem was why the God of Hope told me this at this point .

The God of Hope will not get along with the gods of the Pantheon .

They will also covet the power and information of the God of Hope .

Now, the God of Hope is telling me to pay attention to the Pantheon .

He was worried that I would pass him over to the Pantheon .

In other words, it also meant that when I and the Pantheon collided, my win rate was not high .

“Hey, but why tell me that now . You should have told me earlier . ”

[Ah… I was going to tell you soon!]

Bullshit .

You were planning to show up and try again when I faced a crisis .

After a few encounters, the behavior patterns of the God of Hope were clearly visible .

I thought I shouldn’t release him anymore .

* * *

[Hey, come down slowly! Slowly!]

As soon as I exited the space of the God of Hope that had been formed inside the asteroid, the telepathy from Hochi rang in my head .

As Hochi said, I slowly descended .

Very slow, slowly .

Slowly descending from the asteroid to the surface, looking around, I noticed several changes .

First, it was the number of people who gathered near the temple in Seoul .

I remember that there was a crowd of over ten million people

But the number of humans I could see right now was a number that couldn’t be called only ten million .

It was tens of millions .

A crowd that could exceed even the current population of South Korea gathered in Seoul .

Humans were filling downtown Seoul centering on the temple .

The situation of the religious window was also very different .

Newly constructed temples were exceeding the existing wanted list, and the number of renewed members was to the extent that made me wonder if this was correct .

It was a level of change that couldn’t happen in just a few hours when I had a conversation with the God of Hope .

[The inside of the asteroid was a space with a slightly twisted time axis . ]

Said the God of Hope .

Why did you only say that now…… .

[It was a policy prepared in case our conversation leaked to other gods . It didn’t twist much . At best, it would be about three days here . ]

I slowly descended toward the temple balcony .

As if it was ready, there was a broadcast helicopter floating nearby and taking pictures of me descending .

The humans who gathered on the street and found me were screaming without hesitation .

It was such a thoughtless roar that I couldn’t even understand what they were saying .

And I could feel a great deal of faith being absorbed into me .

It was certainly a fair amount .

It was a level of faith that was different from what had been obtained from Earth before .

During the three days wasted because of the God of Hope, I couldn’t know what had happened to Earth .

When I got off the balcony, Hochi, Kim Min-hyuk, and the others came out to meet me .

After being conscious of the helicopter filming us from a distance, Hochi and Kim Min-hyuk put their hands together and prayed .

“Homen . ”

“Homen~”

… Are these things crazy in pairs?

* * *

“Please explain to me . ”

I told Hochi as I entered the temple building so that we could not be seen from outside .

I don’t understand this situation right now .

Over three days, the size of the denomination expanded by hundreds of times beyond dozens of times .

What about Homen? People are thrilled and crying and praying .

Of course, the approach of the meteorite and the manifestation of the miracle that prevented it was a good event to raise faith .

But I didn’t think it would show this level of gain .

Even though I was absent for 3 days .

“I’ve been studying some indigenous religions here . ”

Hochi said .

Did you study? You? I managed to endure what I wanted to ask .

“All of these religions were completed by death . ”

“Death?”

I don’t know what you’re talking about .

I was not very familiar with Earth’s religions .

I wasn’t majoring in theology and I wasn’t interested .

I wasn’t even a religious person .

“Yes, death . ”

“… So?”

Something felt chilly .

I had a feeling that this guy might have had an absurd accident .

“So I told people you were dead . In exchange for using excessive force while blocking meteorites . ”

“… I am still alive and well . ”

“No, you were dead and then resurrected . ”

Oh my god .

Have you ever seen this crazy idiot?
