The Outer God Needs Warmth-Chapter 85: Soo’s Gangho (5)

I left the place with Soo.

Because the more I speak here, the more the mystery fades away.

Moreover, if there is rarity, physical regeneration can quickly turn into an expensive commodity.

It’s easy to understand if you think about how people buy health supplements or throw themselves into cults simply out of the hope that they might be healed.

When a person falls to the bottom, their judgment weakens in order to survive. The phrase "grabbing at straws" expresses this well.

When you set up such a scenario, the desperate will come rushing immediately.

And the perceptive ones will notice the sudden strength of the person who has recovered, and the man with purple hair and white skin. If they have a rich imagination, they might even deduce why the Heavenly Demon changed into a woman.

Also, it would be bad to ruin Jeonyang’s funeral, right?

The only person who mourns is the Heavenly Demon, but this is a fitting place to reflect on the saying from the first world that one visits the last resting place of the deceased.

Of course, I’m not sure if people will think the way I do, but I lay down the elements I can, and proceed by picking up what I can gradually.

When a person with knowledge as important as the Heavenly Demon is at risk of evaporating, I must think about it after going first!

At that moment, it was urgent.

In order to regenerate, I had to throw myself into the world, even if it cracked.

In reality, there were indeed minor cracks. But over time, the cracked parts heal as if they were alive.

I’m not sure whether they healed perfectly or if the damaged parts remained while the surrounding areas covered them, like human scars.

As I walked home with Soo, I looked at the world from the perspective of a Harvester.

First, there’s Gabja.

This person is diligently working as a legal officer again.

He was trying to attach himself to the head of the Jiwan faction, but after witnessing the sword technique that altered the terrain when the Heavenly Demon and the Heavenly Demon Church fought, he stopped contacting the Jiwan faction leader.

Of course, the Jiwan faction leader has not contacted him either.

But that doesn’t mean he’s given up. He’s been diligently training every night in the private training halls of the Heavenly Demon Church. Using the memories I sent from Eunjae, he practices martial arts while imitating the techniques.

I like the fact that his desire hasn’t extinguished.

Next is Byeongil.

He suddenly became like a person whose strings have been cut. The items he used to receive from other faction leaders stopped coming, and his subordinates no longer acknowledge him.

Instead, they whisper about when he’ll die.

Byeongil’s character has become so twisted that he now forces his subordinates under his power, torturing them, and even killed a passing servant out of mere frustration.

In any world, killing people is a bad thing.

Not from a human rights perspective, but from a labor perspective.

If you receive a computer at work and it doesn’t suit you, you wouldn’t break the CPU, right?

You’d be arrested for damaging property.

The first time, if explained well, it would be deducted from your salary with a warning, but next time, it could send you to the police station.

In short, it’s behavior that deserves condemnation.

So, when he’s condemned, Byeongil gets angrier.

When he’s mentally cornered, he mutters about how the people who once flattered him suddenly change their attitudes and get angry.

Step by step. It’s deteriorating.

I hope he becomes even more twisted.

That way, he’ll probably send me more warmth, right?

Meanwhile, the legal officers of the Cheongung faction and the ordinary members of the church.

They are diligently training in martial arts.

For the ordinary members, they’re being forced to study martial arts as if they’re injecting them with the techniques, rather than actually training in them.

But surprisingly, they seem quite satisfied.

It’s strange.

Since they can see themselves getting stronger, they seem to be more motivated.

Through the conversations of the Cheongung faction leader and the legal officers, I learned about the effects of the medicine they made for Harvesters.

It turned out to be a worthless failure.

They said that nothing happened to those who took it.

At the very least, it would have been nice if the contract had been transferred, but that didn’t happen.

It’s a shame.

But I did gain something.

I heard a new perspective on Harvesters from them.

They speculate that when a person becomes a Harvester, all of their potential is drawn out to make them stronger.

So, even if they make medicine, since all that potential has already been used, it has no effect.

But that’s probably not the answer.

There’s an example.

In the first world, countless people who became Harvesters.

Even after they became Harvesters, they kept growing.

Since this can be disproven, it’s not the answer, but can we say that it’s the maximum potential they can have at that moment?

Then, what about the Heavenly Demon who became a woman?

Hmm...

If you take a special medicine made from special ingredients, new light grows over the old light, making it bigger. That light is the light contained in the medicine.

Because when I attached to the Harvester, it was a white light that hadn’t turned purple yet.

I won’t rush to conclusions. I’ll research step by step.

Light and warmth are a problem I’ll need to solve eventually.

But since I’ve learned a lot, if I continue to gather information, I’ll eventually understand it clearly.

And the Heavenly Demon.

This person is busy.

The funeral of Jeonyang has kept them occupied. Since the funeral lasts for three days, I won’t have anything to do with them until then. The funeral is grand, but the irony is that probably only the Heavenly Demon truly mourns.

Anyway, the Heavenly Demon will stay at the funeral site.

In other words, the Heavenly Demon is hard to approach. That means someone else might move in the meantime, especially those who dislike the Heavenly Demon.

Additionally, I took the opportunity to advertise on a whim.

I let people know that I have this function, and if they’re interested, they should come find me.

There are many who wish for their bodies to heal.

I’m sure someone in a hurry will come.

Moreover, the recently transformed Harvester, who claimed he healed, even made an effort to advertise.

This was successful.

The funeral of Jeonyang is over.

Sadly, no one came.

No, why didn’t they come?

There are so many people in the Heavenly Demon Church who have suffered fatal injuries!

One person healed in an instant, so shouldn’t at least one person have come?

The Heavenly Demon has been at the funeral site and hasn’t received any reports about me.

If they didn’t come voluntarily, why is that?

The last person to become a Harvester brags to me every day about their healing!

So why didn’t they come?

Ugh. What should I do?

I was trying to attach myself to the Heavenly Demon Church, like I did with the Hopeful Future Church. Of course, I wouldn’t do exactly the same thing. If I did, I’d only repeat the same failure.

So, this time, I planned to take the initiative to control the situation a bit.

But with no response like this, it’s hard to take control.

Maybe they think that even if their bodies heal, they can’t do anything, or maybe the Heavenly Demon Church is so controlled that they wouldn’t send their followers to a strange person.

The Heavenly Demon is a Harvester now, but I have no authority to command a Harvester.

I’m just in the same position, or even lower.

Moreover, if the consciousness is strong, the memories I send won’t even reach them.

It means I can’t control them by sending a large amount of memories to drive them mad.

Why is there so much I can’t do...

What can I do with only this power?

I’ll live well with the strength I have.

I looked north.

I saw a vast, endless blue forest. Beyond it, a city appeared.

It’s like the world in the faded man’s memories, a place where countless ordinary people live.

It’s the place where I can most deeply blend in.

What should I do?

Should I go outside like this, or wait for the future in the Heavenly Demon Church?

If I were alone, I’d go outside without hesitation, but I have Soo with me.

It’s hard to wander without a home.

Or maybe I should go find the man who seems like he’ll become a Harvester soon.

The man who absorbed the energy of Euncheon with the technique called Absorption.

He’s not a Harvester yet.

But the connection is clear, and it’s getting stronger.

In not too long, I’ll be able to make him a Harvester.

No matter how small the pieces, they are all connected to me at their core. It’s like drawing several people on a piece of paper, attaching threads to each person, and tying the opposite ends together.

Why is it that I have this power but can’t control it?

With just the brainwashing technique, I could live well while harvesting warmth!

“Choseol, what are you doing?”

While I was grumbling inside, Soo suddenly leaned in from behind.

She’s still a child, so her speech is short. I’m debating whether I should start teaching her polite speech or let her be a little longer.

I wonder if I should let her interact with humans and learn social skills, instead of talking with a monster like me. But if we stay here, all she’ll learn is twisted indoctrination.

Should I really consider leaving the Heavenly Demon Church?

The Heavenly Demon Church is now ruled by the powerful presence of the Heavenly Demon, so it seems unlikely that the events I want to happen will come to pass.

Like the demonic sect in the faded man’s memories, and before learning the Kyuhwa Bojeon technique, if I dreamed of conquering the martial world, I’d still be willing to lend a hand.

But after learning the Kyuhwa Bojeon, the Heavenly Demon has stopped talking about conquering the martial world.

Now, I’m not sure if they even care about that anymore.

At most, there’s a slight chance that they’ll invade the martial world, claiming to kill the remnants who killed Jeonyang.

But I can’t say that out loud.

Anyone who’s not a fool would realize I’m speaking with malicious intent. Especially since it involves someone I loved. They’re already dead.

There’s a high chance it would backfire. So I shouldn’t mention it.

Above all, the Heavenly Demon vaguely knows my true identity. If things go wrong, a group might form to eradicate me from this world.

Since they have the ability to summon me, there’s a possibility they could develop the technique to block me as well. It’s best to avoid dangerous places.

It’s best not to make enemies, if possible.

If I absolutely must make enemies, I should only do so when it’s really necessary. Though, in this world, it’s natural for enemies to emerge just from breathing, with people saying they hate me for being ugly.

For now, I answer Soo, who’s squirming like a cat while clinging to me.

“I’m thinking about how to teach Soo.”

“I don’t like that.”

Swish.

She slapped me with her small hand, but the impact was pretty strong. I guess all that exercise paid off.

If the Heavenly Demon enjoys a boring peace, I’m thinking of cutting ties with the Heavenly Demon Church as I hold Soo and push her into the yard.
