I Became an Overpowered Constellation in the Game

Chapter 16
Commoner Experience
『 Translator – Divinity 』

– The Incarnation of the Black Sun has changed sides.

One of the constellations who gathered to usher in a new era in this land has already disappeared.

Even though the religious order, which once had a notorious reputation worldwide, had weakened…

It was impossible for their existence to disappear overnight.

– Have they perished?

– No, their religious order is still intact.

– Then, they must have a different intention.

The answer was simple.

However, the suspicious point was that they disappeared so cleanly without a trace.

It was similar to how the tyrannical constellation had disappeared.

– Is something happening that we don’t know about?

– That might be the case. That’s why we need to move faster.

Even though they were constellations, they weren’t arrogant and planned for the future.

They were beings with a strong desire for survival.

– It seems like we’ll need more help.

– You want to increase the number of competitors here?

– That’s a crazy idea.

– No, it’s not that crazy.

No matter what means they use, they just need to erase ‘that bastard’s’ religious order from the world.

Anyway, everyone has been rooted here for a long time, and even if another force comes in now, their power will only be temporary.

– So, you’re saying we should open the ‘gate’?

– It’s still premature, but it’s not a bad idea to keep in mind.

‘Go back, you crazy bastards.’

If the constellation who was already captured by someone had seen this, he would have shouted like that.

But unfortunately, the one who could give them advice had long since fallen into slavery.

「Hidden Quest Reward has arrived!」

「: Elite Follower Recruitment Ticket x1」

Despite my despair, the reward list was appealing, and…

My capitalist heart started to race on its own.

Follower Recruitment Ticket.

As the name suggests, it gives me a chance to gacha a new follower.

Gacha is always new and exciting.

There might be bad results, but isn’t there a name attached to prevent that beforehand?

‘If it’s elite…’

It was one of the ways to significantly raise the lower limit.

Good, good.

I put the reward tab aside for now and observed the situation unfolding in front of me.

“Sob…! Father! Finally…!”

“I’m sorry, Aisela. Forgive your incompetent father.”

‘No, where did your dignity go?’

Is the king usually this quick to give in?

At least in my common sense, and compared to the data accumulated about Edmund in the game, this is a completely different image.

「Incarnation of the Black Sun: Wasn’t this all planned?」

‘Planned what?’

「The plan to take over the entire world, starting with the Kingdom of Legardium.」

‘Don’t say such dangerous things.’

If he takes over everything like that, what about my leisurely life?

Managing each country, dealing with conflicts due to cultural differences, would I even have any free time left?

I can’t stand to see that happen.

Even if I deploy trustworthy people from our side, in the end, since I’m the final decision-maker…

I can never turn a blind eye to responsibility.

‘Responsibility without pleasure?’

「Incarnation of the Black Sun: …..」

‘Don’t you dare say such things anywhere.’

Hoo, anger welled up after a long time.

Insulting me is fine, but I won’t tolerate anyone interfering with my leisure.

Now that I’ve become a god, I want to enjoy everything life has to offer.

“Then, are you going to make the announcement tomorrow…? Father?”

“There are still things to discuss with the vassals, but it won’t take long.”

“As expected…!”

I decided to stop the father and daughter, who were rapidly progressing with their plans.

“Um…”

“What is it, Lord God?”

“I’m incredibly grateful for your dedication to me, but I think it would be better to take your time and proceed slowly.”

“You mean…”

The expressions of the father and daughter subtly harden.

“There are still some matters I need to attend to.”

There are matters.

That’s why it’s a bit difficult to stay in one place.

‘Ah, anyway, there are matters.’

Please just let me go free.

“Although I succeeded in suppressing the Black Sun religious order, there are still many forces of evil gods in the world who enjoy the suffering of others.”

There are countless of them if I start counting one by one.

From the minor god class with insignificant presence to the huge religious forces like the Incarnation of the Black Sun.

That’s why this game has no ending.

There is a progress level similar to an ending, but it never forces an ‘end’ on the user.

Not only are the constellations difficult to eliminate by design…

But they also disperse their forces here and there like a pyramid scheme, making them difficult to subjugate.

I decided to take advantage of this setting and characteristic.

“There are many things to do before that. I need to gather my children. I haven’t even properly announced my return yet.”

“Ah…”

Princess Aisela, after hearing my words, finally seemed to grasp the situation.

‘Let’s strengthen our foundation first.’

I had to help my followers, who had entered a self-destructive state because of me, return to normal.

It’s good that I was able to take care of Lisia and Belladis in succession from the beginning, but there are still other followers to deal with.

The scale and diversity were considerable, to the point where I wondered if I had raised them with too much affection.

‘Just wait a little longer.’

I wanted to reunite with ‘them’ as soon as possible.

And for that…

“…For the time being, I’m going to hide the fact that I used ‘Divine Possession.'”

“…! Father God, why?”

Aisela made a tearful face, and Belladis stiffened beside me.

I could feel that both of them were eager to worship me as soon as possible.

I thought about a good excuse, and then…

‘Let me breathe too.’

My head started to pound.

What reason should I give this time?

「Incarnation of the Black Sun: If you don’t want to wait, just don’t say anything.」

‘What?’

A cowardly constellation suddenly spouting nonsense.

But after thinking about it carefully, it wasn’t a bad idea.

‘Not bad?’

「Incarnation of the Black Sun: Constellations are, by nature, beings who answer. They don’t interact or exchange opinions with them.」

Arrogance, and the immense faith that backs it up.

‘He’s making sense after a long time?’

Come to think of it, he’s right.

Is there a need to make them understand?

When I give instructions, teachings, and enlightenment…

It’s up to the followers to find the meaning hidden within.

‘Was I thinking too humanly?’

I momentarily forgot the meaning of my position.

“Hehehe.”

I regained my original intention and smiled faintly once again.

“For some reason, I have a feeling that it would be good to do so.”

“…!”

As I conveyed my will, the two, no, three of them immediately backed down.

‘Why are you doing that?’

Bella was looking at me cautiously like a puppy caught doing something wrong.

Since I couldn’t understand her intentions, I just let it go.

But it would be rude to just leave like this, so should I divert my attention elsewhere?

“I can tell you one thing.”

I paused for a moment.

When telling an extraordinary story, timing is important.

“Something good will happen to the Kingdom of Legardium soon.”

“…!!”

‘Ah, whatever it is, something good will happen.’

「Incarnation of the Black Sun: …Really, what’s going to happen?」

‘Who knows? If something good happens, I’ll just take credit for it.’

If not, then whatever.

This is true responsibility-free pleasure.

‘Thrilling.’

Leaving behind the Incarnation of the Black Sun who had fallen silent, I was finally able to leave the conference room.

As I headed back to the room where I was staying, escorted by the Knight Commander as before, Belladis, who had been keeping her mouth shut, approached me.

“Y-You’ve worked hard, Father God…”

“Hey, it’s nothing to have just exchanged a few words. Our Bella, standing next to me, is the one who worked hard.”

At my words, Belladis trembled and was moved to tears.

It was a very cost-effective reaction.

Now, what remains is…

Preparing to return to our paradise, the sanctuary.

That’s where our main headquarters is anyway, and I need to activate the many deactivated objects.

So that the followers can live well without wandering around.

‘I want to get some free time.’

Is it finally time to use this?

I took out the item that was sleeping in the warehouse.

“Lord God, that is…”

“Do you know what this is?”

「Hermit’s Veil (+9)」

An item.

And it’s been safely enhanced to the maximum option.

Whoosh.

I put the veil I had taken out over my head.

“…!”

I could see Belladis was quite flustered by my suddenly fading presence.

Avoiding her bewildered gaze, I grabbed Belladia’s shoulder from behind.

“Kyaa…!”

“Isn’t it amazing?”

“E-Even though I can’t see you, I can feel you, Lord God…! Because I can’t see you, my senses are clearer…!”

“…”

Hmm.

I let go of Bella’s hand at the right moment and took off the veil again.

Now, no human outside would be able to recognize me.

“I’m thinking of going outside wearing this.”

There are still many things I haven’t done.

To be precise, the reason I entered the royal palace hasn’t been fulfilled yet.

New food! And entertainment!

I wanted to experience the environment of the game, which has become reality, with my own body.

“F-Father God, but the outside is…”

“Bella can be with me, right?”

“Ah?”

Belladis, who was spacing out, hurriedly accepted my offer.

“I will protect you even if it costs me my life ten times over…!”

“There’s no need to go that far.”

Anyway, it’s a relief that she’s happy.

“Shall we go then?”

Filled with excitement, I led the equally excited Bella towards the window of the guest room.

And then, without any hesitation, I jumped out.

Whoosh!!

A pair of wings unfolded as before, stably supporting the weight of the two of us.

Looking at the people diligently working below, they didn’t seem to notice our presence at all.

‘It would be strange if they did notice.’

Unless they were a top-class archmage in the world, they wouldn’t be able to sense us, would they?

Even then, it wouldn’t be easy to find out.

Because that’s how big the gap between players and game characters was in this world.

“Let’s sweep through the churches first.”

I should do some work while I’m at it.

If I just approach the deactivated sanctuaries, things will automatically be resolved after that.

‘Just that much.’

I want the information about Divine Possession to spread to my followers a little later.

So that I can move around more comfortably.

‘Let’s go!’

And so…

Just as I was about to leisurely enjoy the scenery of the Kingdom of Legardium unfolding before my eyes…

Kwaaang!!

“Kyaaaaaak!!”

“Wh-What…! What’s happening!”

“A-A meteorite is falling from the sky!!”

I could only stare blankly at the sight of an unidentified holy rock suddenly falling from above.

“L-Lord God…! Behind me…!”

Suddenly, a star fell before my eyes.

「Accumulated luck takes effect.」

「It seems like something good will happen to you…」

…This?
