chapter 128
128. Myth (4)
Clone’s body was also engulfed in Yuma’s <God of War>.
Clone felt as if his body was floating for a moment.
He held up a black staff and cast magic.
Red air currents and magical silver mana currents were mixed together.
Although I could not see the casting of magic in advance like the blessing applied to Belle, I felt a clear increase in the purity of mana.
I felt a sense of elation, as if I could unleash magic that I couldn’t normally unfold.
A red air current swirled around the vivid golden wall.
A truly powerful thunderbolt pierced the air and struck the ground from the sky.
Clone also felt the same sense of elation as Belle.
I was convinced that I could create a more powerful magic by combining magic techniques that had never been combined before.
Yuma recognized the clear increase in Clone’s abilities.
<Blessing of God of War> is enough. No, Yuma had much more powerful power than originally expected.
‘The granting of divine power is a powerful force.’
A power that can literally transform a human being.
‘Seongeum’ used the expression ‘God’s miracle’ while explaining the protection.
Certainly, the God of War’s protection had the power to be called a miracle.
Clone, who had used flight magic to levitate his body in the air, slowly placed both feet on the ground and landed again.
Clone walked towards Yuma with his golden eyes wide open. Clone began to speak urgently.
“Wow…! Please give me this divine power again next time, Yuma.”
Clone openly told Yuma about the transcendental feeling he received due to the God of War’s protection.
“If I receive this blessing a few more times, I think I’ll be able to get the inspiration to move on to the next circle!”
Clone was currently in the 6th circle.
During the half-year period without Yuma, the 6th circle, known as the demonic wall of human magicians, was reached.
But he said it as if he could get a sense of what it would be like to be in the 7th circle.
Yuma was deeply impressed by Clone’s growth ability.
It is purer than the originally available magic power. By using more powerful magical power, it seemed like he had glimpsed the realm beyond the wall.
“I get it.”
Clone looked at Yuma who answered and smiled, then walked towards Bell.
“Let’s take a walk together for a while, sister.”
“Uh, uh!”
Clone and Belle walked together. The weather wasn’t that hot for summer, so it wasn’t too bad for a walk.
Jump and jump
The two walked along the well-constructed walking path of the imperial palace with landscaping.
Butterflies of various colors landed on the flowers blooming in various colors.
Clone and Belle’s long hair slowly blew in the warm wind.
Clone looked at Belle with golden eyes.
Clone spoke first.
“I knew you would become stronger, but I didn’t know you would become a god.”
Belle sighed deeply.
“Isn’t that so? You were surprised too. Ha…you always said you could become stronger than yourself. What would you do if you became a god? It’s ridiculous.”
That’s what he said, but his words contained more of a sense of inferiority toward himself than resentment toward Yuma.
Clone smiled brightly.
“Let’s get stronger faster and tie Yuma up somewhere. So that he can’t go anywhere. Let’s kill as many enemies first so that Yuma doesn’t have to go anywhere. Ah, even if he is a god, If I tie it up somehow, it won’t work, right?”
Belle felt a strong sincerity in Clone’s joking words.
“So what I’m saying is…let’s just decide not to think about anything else until we get this situation sorted out.”
… What does it mean to not think differently from each other?
‘As expected, did you see it?’
Belle swallowed her saliva and pursed her lips as she looked at the back of Clone, who was taking a step ahead. I didn’t choose silence because I was upset or angry.
Rather, it was because he caught a hint of anger in Clone’s words.
Belle walked very quietly behind Clone.
Clone’s mind was filled with thoughts of rising to the next level.
‘Somehow I became stronger… ‘We must make the world peaceful.’
As soon as one day soon.
Clone’s golden eyes shined especially brightly.

Yuma looked closely at the third being that appeared before his eyes.
Hestia, a Miao with scarlet hair, quickly approached Yuma.
“Yumayuma.”
Hestia said, looking intently at Yuma with her green eyes.
“I came to ask for permission.”
Yuma tilted his head.
“Permission for what?”
Hestia spoke loudly, pricking her two scarlet ears.
The right hand was pointing very energetically towards the bright blue sky.
“The official opening of the Martial God Hall! And the recruitment of Martial God believers!”
Yuma’s brows furrowed slightly.
‘Is that place finally completed?’
Clearly, a place created to worship and serve oneself.
However, this is a place I have never been to before.
Originally, the construction was halted completely before it took on a realistic appearance. I was planning to turn it into nothing.
However, after hearing from Seong-Eum (Seong-Eum) the information about the Geoshingran, in which the service and respect of the members living in Middle-Earth would play a very big role in raising the mythical power of Middle-Earth, he became unable to take such action.
Not even a tiny bit of help. It was going to play such a big role that Yuma had no choice but to allow it to be completed, as he needed to build up his mythical power and enter the God Realm.
In some ways, I couldn’t ignore the easiest way to increase myth power and the most long-term way to increase it.
Hestia continued speaking.
“Give me the position of high priest! You can appoint an experienced saint for Ermel.”
Yuma sighed deeply.
“Apart from being a saint…why do you need the position of high priest?”
Hestia answered confidently.
“It’s because I have to fulfill my role as a priest! And the reason I’m a high priest is because I’m the first priest, so I’m worthy of being a high priest, right?”
Yuma narrowed his eyebrows slightly and thought very seriously. Indeed, will she be able to entrust this task to Hestia in front of her and not regret it?
But the worries did not last long.
Even if it was just a tribute to strength.
It was an undeniable fact that he even built a temple and predicted the future as if foretelling.
“…Does playing a role mean doing something like missionary work?”
Hestia nodded vigorously to Yuma’s question.
“Yes, that’s right. Visit the temple. The more people who have faith and express their faith, the higher the mythical power of Middle-earth will be?”
It seemed like something Ermel had said to Hestia.
Yuma opened his mouth again.
“maybe.”
“I will bring all the races I can, so look forward to it, Yuma Yuma. So, give me the position of high priest.”
Yuma looked at Hestial and let out a shallow sigh.
“Okay, give it a try.”
***
Hestia obtained the title of High Priestess and was busy taking Saint Ermel with her.
The first targets of missionary work were foreigners currently staying in the Astes Empire.
Hestia, wearing everyday leather clothes that were not at all priestly, stormed into the place where the High Elves, including the Great Spirit Ruinerif, were gathered.
Rattling─
Hestia roughly opened the door and walked inside very confidently.
It was literally majestic.
The attention of the High Elves gathered at the appearance of Hesti, a cat with scarlet hair, and Ermel, a blonde saint.
High elf Ruinerif swallowed his saliva.
“W-what’s going on?”
bang!
Hestia said as she took a strong step forward.
“The Temple of War has been completed.”
The eyes of many high elves, including the green-haired high elf, Ruineleaf, rolled around.
The Miao people with scarlet ears originally spoke informally.
But this time, not only did he speak informally, but he also asked why his voice suddenly lowered. What else does it mean to say that Musinjeon has been completed?
Hestia continued speaking in a low voice.
“Those who have received grace from the God of War and those who have been saved by the God of War. Everyone must stop by the God of War and show their faith. Otherwise, the God of War will become angry and punish them with heavenly punishment.”
“yes?”
The red-haired high elf swordsman next to Ruinerif let out a dazed sound.
Hestia didn’t even know what he was talking about yet.
Ruinerif slowly shook his head.
“Even if we, the elf race, believe in it, we don’t believe in the world tree or nature itself… We can’t worship any object alone. Still, our respect and gratitude for the god of war is clear, so I will support you from afar.”
Hestia furrowed her brows at Ruinerif’s words. This is because it seemed like the first missionary effort would fail.
At that time, a voice came from next to Hestia.
“The World Tree… Do you dare forget that the communication between the World Tree and the Heavenly World posed a threat to the lives of Lord Martial God and Master Bell?”
It was the voice of Saint Ermel.
Ermel’s silver eyes scanned the high elves.
“How dare you make such a reckless move on this continent of Gehergen, which the God of War declared a holy land… it is beyond unpleasant and blasphemous. High Elf Ruinerif.”
Ruineleaf’s green eyes shook violently.
“Eh, Ms. Ermel…?”
Where has the girl who smiled and said hello every time we met gone?
A cold sweat broke out as I saw this sad sight for the first time.
“Regardless of your faith… First, stop by the martial arts shrine and repent.”
Ermel’s voice had a weight that I had never felt before.
“Sure, I will. I’ll stop by today.”
The high elves and elves, including Ruineleaf, who said that, were lowering their heads without realizing it.
Ermel and Hestia left the elves’ shelter.
Hestia looked at Ermel with a blank face.
“Ermel…I knew how to make such a scary expression.”
Ermel laughed bitterly.
“Hehe, if you fail from the first time, that failure itself will be considered disrespectful to the God of War… And when they enter the God of War, they will also have a heart of reverence. Right, Hestia?”
Hestia nodded very loudly.
“Oh, of course!”
Hestia looked at Ermel’s back as he walked forward first.
‘It’s definitely different because he has a full-time job… .’
Hestia reflected on her resolve.
‘I need to go out a little stronger too.’
In a slightly twisted direction.
