Chapter 203: Descent of the Evil God (1)
Crossbridge, the Temple of Harmony.
In the space where the saintess tied to a pillar and the fallen knight were, Eutenia’s shadow spat out something on the ground.
What came out of the swaying shadow was a transparent glass tube that showed a boy with his eyes closed.
Eutenia placed the glass tube in the center of the temple and looked around.
She saw the figure of Laiteria, who was tied to a pillar, in her sight as she turned her head.
“It’s okay to start the ritual now.”
Laiteria, the saintess of harmony, gave her advice with a pure smile.
Even though the knight who was guarding her in front of her eyes fell, she was still calm.
She even tried to help Eutenia, who was starting the ritual.
Eutenia, who had completely taken over the temple of harmony, could not easily understand Laiteria’s behavior.
“I don’t understand.”
This temple was an unpleasant place for Eutenia, an apostle.
If her master hadn’t wanted her to perform the ritual in this place, Eutenia wouldn’t have come here.
It was a risky act to perform a ritual near the battlefield.
But it was after the great being had already given the order for the ritual.
It was also part of that order that she didn’t kill Laiteria and subdued her.
“Why do you, a saintess of harmony, want to help me?”
“It’s much more fun that way.”
“…”
“The ritual of God’s descent is not something you can do often. If you fail, you’ll be in trouble too, won’t you?”
It was still an incomprehensible answer.
It was natural for an apostle who served the goddess of harmony to be hostile to the cult.
Just like Eutenia didn’t like the six temples.
“——Desire. Crave.”
“——Praise by tearing your throat under the great name.”
The light that seeped through the stained glass of the temple split and drew shapes.
The faint glimmer became a line, and a streak of line became a pillar of light.
Under the pillar of light that connected the sky and the earth, Eutenia smiled brightly.
All things in heaven and earth were singing with joy at the appearance of the god.
“——Pray. Worship.”
“——Praise until your flesh rots away.”
Crackle. Fizzle.
From the pillar of light that pierced the glass tube, countless sparks flew up.
The transcendent’s flesh, wrapped in a massive light, began to blur and spread.
A great power that could not be handled by a mere human’s flesh was descending to the earth.
Even an ignorant person could guess what would come at the end of this ritual.
“——Revere. Adore. Obey.”
The end was approaching for the long ritual as well.
Before long, the grimoire that had turned to the last page shook weakly.
The unknown light that had enveloped Eutenia, the apostle, also faded slowly.
With the turning page in front of her, Eutenia recited the last phrase for the descent.
“——The great one has returned.”
At the moment when Eutenia’s last prayer ended quietly.
The pillar of light that connected the heaven and earth became a line and disappeared.
Clatter. Clatter—.
The stained glass that covered the ceiling of the temple shattered and collapsed, and the temple that was filled with dazzling light also darkened.
Eutenia felt cozy in the darkness that descended to the earth.
The overwhelming presence that filled the space was the root of her power that had split off.
“…”
“Finally…”
The black-haired boy who had closed his eyes for a long time opened them in the darkness.
Even in the terrible darkness, his black eyes revealed his menacing presence.
Eutenia realized that she was facing a great dignity that seemed unreachable.
“Finally… have you come?”
After overcoming countless hardships and adversities.
She finally realized that her master had come to this world.

Darkness.
Under the huge darkness that dazzled my eyes, I looked down and saw my hand.
It was smaller than my original self.
The discomfort I felt in my neck was also different from my usual self.
It felt awkward as if it was not mine, even though it was my flesh.
“…”
And what followed was a sense of omnipotence that filled my whole body. freewe bnovel.com
A feeling that I could do anything.
The god’s sight that looked down on all living creatures on the ground was unfolding before my eyes.
There was only one reason why such a sensation came from my body.
Descent.
It was because the moment that Estelle had designated as the end of the journey had finally arrived.
“Finally… have you come?”
The girl who met my eyes for the first time also appeared in my awkward sight.
She felt familiar yet strange, and she pierced through the thick darkness that settled around and approached me.
Her steps were a bit fast, but also a bit light, and they quickly narrowed the distance between us.
The girl who came to me in no time showed me one action.
“My god… I really wanted to see you for a long time.”
Squeeze.
The girl grabbed my hand tightly and smiled brightly.
There were glistening tears in her eyes as she smiled brightly.
The First Apostle, Eutenia Hyrost.
The apostle that I had created for the first time in this world kissed the back of my hand politely.
“…Eutenia.”
She showed respect to the awe-inspiring god as much as possible.
I reached out to her head.
Now it was not beyond the small screen of a smartphone, but a clear sensation that touched my hand directly.
Swoosh.
The first touch that reached her head made the memories of the past flash through my mind.
“My apostle is still loyal.”
The memory of knocking down the bandits who chased Eutenia.
The memory of giving her a cake along with an artifact.
The memory of her working hard to create a cult after becoming an apostle.
The memory of watching her do her best for any mission I gave her.
The memory of smiling at her eating bread in the conference room.
Countless memories of the two that could not be expressed in words bloomed in the silence as many thoughts.
“I really… really wanted to see you.”
Thud. Thump.
A few drops of tears fell on my hand that was holding Eutenia’s.
Her emotions flowed into me through our clasped hands.
Even though she was with the cult, Eutenia always lived in loneliness.
The only thing she truly relied on and opened her heart to was the great heavenly being that she believed and followed.
“…”
My lips trembled as I faced Eutenia.
What should I say to her?
What should I tell the apostle who had waited for me for so long?
I had to think hard as I faced the meeting I had longed for.
Even though I had become a god who could manipulate the fate of humans, I could not utter a single word freely.
“I only have… the great one now…”
How ironic.
I wanted the power to fight against Estelle, but I had to struggle to find something to say to the apostle in front of me.
The great being became even weaker in front of the apostle.
Maybe it was because I had become a great being that I had to worry more.
I always had to be a stern god in front of her.
I did not want to show my weak and pathetic self to the apostles.
-“Lift your head.”
I had to be a perfect god in front of the apostles.
They had to look up to me, worship me, rely on me, and depend on me.
I did not want to disappoint the apostles who believed and followed me.
So, I decided to keep pretending to be a god.
I decided to become the most great being that she had admired.
“Great one…”
-“Your god promises you.”
My story from long ago was spread to the world through a divine translator.
That was because I did not have the dignity that suited a god at that time.
And now, I was telling Eutenia my story with my own mouth.
As we looked into each other’s eyes, I told her my sincere story.
-“I will be with you.”
-“I will save you in times of hardship, and guide you in times of adversity.”
I did not need a translator to imitate a god for me anymore.
From now on, my story was enough to be delivered by my own mouth.
Whoosh.
The darkness that filled the space moved and lifted Eutenia’s body into the air.
“Ah…?”
Eutenia, who was floating in the air, reached out her hand in confusion.
I firmly grabbed her hand and looked at her seriously as she looked down at me.
I was not sure if I could keep my promise.
But I still hoped that my promise would last forever.
-“I will be your god. Forever.”
As I told Eutenia my story with a flushed face,
Flash—!
The ruby ring on her ring finger emitted light.
Beyond the ring that emitted bright light, someone’s figure leaning on a pillar was faintly visible.
“…You should think a little about the people who are watching.”
Hoo.
A short sigh and a familiar voice echoed in my ears.
