chapter 129
129. Myth (5)
The next destination chosen by the God of War Saint Ermel and High Priestess Hestia was a place where lycanthropes and Elyos were located one after another.
There was no need for them to show the high-handed tone that Ermel had shown to Hestia first.
Lycanthropes, a race with a wolf head and a humanoid body.
Gale, the great warrior of Baugalak, the continent of lycanthropes on the Geherden continent, quickly approached Hestia.
“Oh! Is the God of War’s temple finally complete? Of course I have to say hello!”
As soon as Gale finished speaking, other lycanthropes rushed forward.
“I have also sent an urgent message to Berkan! Berkan will also come to the Astes Empire as soon as he has time. I will make sure to make arrangements to visit the War God Temple then!”
Yuma wipes out the four gods and their three hundred family members. The lycanthropes who looked at the literally overwhelming sight were already completely fascinated by Yuma’s strength.
It goes far beyond the human species. To Yuma, who even achieved divine death. I couldn’t help but be fascinated by the wolves who worship strong self-respect.
They say Yuma took their lives three days ago. To be precise, he had already been praying for Yuma since saving the Gehergen continent.
Gail was amazed.
Saliva continued to rain from the giant wolves’ mouths as they worshiped Yuma, but Hestia and Ermel were not particularly bothered by the heavy rain of saliva.
“You blossomed into a god of martial arts…! I expected it, but you really became a god of martial arts, so it’s a new experience!”
Different tribes who praise together with one heart the god they worship.
I was able to laugh at the few drops of saliva that spattered from the mouth of the lycanthrope along with the adoration.
All 10,000 lycanthrope troops still remaining in the empire, including the great warrior Gale, promised in front of Ermel and Hestia that they would all head to the Musinjeon.
In this way, confirmed outside believers were added.
The reactions of the Elyos were not much different compared to the Lycanthropes.
of course. The attitude of the reaction was on the dry side due to the nature of the Elyos, but everyone seemed to acknowledge Yuma, the Godslayer who killed the gods and the first god of Middle-earth.
All the Elyos archangels, including the man with pure white skin, Garenmun, knelt and bowed towards Hestia and Ermel.
It is a courtesy to the priests of God.
Hestia felt something in her brain. Hestia couldn’t define this sensation in her mind, but it was definitely dopamine.
Dopamine rising… !
A more intense dopamine level descended on Hestia’s body than when her talent for the sword was awakened by the Elyos’ excessive courtesy.
“Okay…! Everyone go to the temple!”
After completing her missionary work to the lycanthropes and Elyos, Hestia looked back on all the places she had visited with Yuma.
Hestia thought of the Mulen people beyond the sea.
“Ah! I have to tell Tasha and Yerkur too!”
At Hestia’s words, Ermel, wearing a pure white saint’s robe, who was next to her slowly nodded.
“They worship the sea, not any specific god, so they can fully have faith in Yuma.”
Ermel understood calmly.
Numerous drawings were drawn in Ermel’s mind.
’employee.’
It is difficult for commoners to come to Musinjeon.
Even if they are allowed to enter, their time is limited. So Ermel came up with the idea of building a temple in the center of the capital.
‘Various places.’
Not only the capital, but also small and medium-sized cities and remote areas. The idea was to make it so that all the people of the empire could worship the name of the war god Yuma.
‘I’ll have to keep busy for a while.’
Ermel’s eyes began to overflow with life.
For the first time in a while, my enthusiasm for my main job surged endlessly.
***
The week passed by in a hectic manner.
Before Yuma’s eyes was Brigitte, the emperor of this land, the Astes Empire.
Brigitte and Yuma’s eyes met in midair.
Brigitte slowly opened her light pink lips.
“Yuma, your achievements. And this continent of Gehergen… no, it is better to spread the word about the evil spirits who are overtaking all the continents of Middle-earth. In order to inspire people’s faith.”
Brigitte decided.
I heard that half of the Kamaseron Continent, which is closest to the Gehergen Continent, has been invaded.
And I heard that the continent of Silmaria, a very distant continent, was controlled by beings worse than necromancers who hunted the living by dragging up the bodies of the already dead.
‘Maybe that’s the work of the gods too.’
Brigitte continued.
“I said he is not a god belonging to the Eight Evil Gods. Then he must be a god under them… We need to instill awareness in everyone on the continent. The fact that the entire continent is dangerous is the correct truth without the slightest exaggeration.”
Brigitte laughed bitterly.
“You know what? The first thing I do every morning when I open my eyes is to pray for you, Yuma.”
Yuma shook his head.
Because I had no idea.
“…There’s no need for that.”
A very natural feeling of shame began to creep in… !
Brigitte chuckled.
“How could I not directly worship you, who is breathing right in front of me like this?”
Brigitte looked quite serious again.
“Anyway, I am confident that it is the right decision to announce the invasion of evil spirits that has occurred up to this point. In addition, if I tell you in detail about the invasion of the Demon World, which almost all the people of the empire have seen, I am sure I will be able to elicit their trust without difficulty.”
Yuma nodded slowly.
In the end, the conclusion is to explain the dark clouds that have been hanging over the empire up to this point. The intention was to preach the truth to all the people of the empire that it was Yuma who broke it.
‘I don’t feel like it.’
Yuma also thought that this would be the cornerstone of raising the mythical power of Middle-earth.
“First, I will give a speech at the Crossroads of Glory, where I was appointed as emperor, and then distribute leaflets on a large scale.”
Brigitte smiled and carefully placed her hand on Yuma’s chest.
“You don’t need to come out. It’s better for a god to not reveal his true face.”
Yuma also agreed with that statement.
‘Do you think you can bear that?’
Due to Yuma’s personality, after listing a lot of his accomplishments, he said, “Ah, I’m the one who did it all.” There was no way I could say that on the podium.
The existence of God shines when it is veiled to some extent.
“Ermel began building a temple so that people in small and medium-sized cities and outlying cities can fully worship you.”
Brigitte chuckled again.
“I’m working very hard now that I’ve got my job back. Why don’t you officially appoint me a saint?”
Brigitte tilted her head and added one word.
“Didn’t you come here to ask for that?”
Yuma sighed lightly.
“I did come looking for it.”
The shining face I saw five days ago was still vivid. She was the image of Saint Ermel, who had walked towards her with shining silver eyes and boldly declared.
-We will prove it with results.
And Ermel was carrying out what he had declared.
‘Mythical power… .’
It goes up.
With divine power in both eyes. When you think about mythic power. It was seen how much mythical power flowed in this imperial land.
Although the figure was insignificant, it was rising very steadily.
***
In front of Musinjeon (武神殿), a pilgrimage path was literally created.
A path to serve the war god Yuma.
People lined up in a row. Outsiders.
The empire’s nobles and outsiders within the empire lined up endlessly.
Wilbeserk.
A huge estate that Yuma received when he ascended to the throne as Grand Duke.
Yuma had not yet set foot on the land adjacent to the Musinjeon (Warrior Hall), which was now Yuma’s temple in Increnu’s temple.
As soon as you step in, the nobles and strangers lining up will start worshiping you. Originally, Musinjeondo was included in Wilbeserk, Yuma’s territory.
Therefore, pilgrims had no choice but to show their respect more reverently.
Jump and jump –
The nobles moved to enter in their turn.
Among them, there were nobles who had encountered Yuma in person.
And among them, there were people who came from very far away.
Count Rubelt, whom Yuma saved from the hands of the black dragon Acreon. Kaisen, who became the new count of the count, came up to Wilbeserk to pay his respects to Yuma.
Next to Kaisen was his younger sister, Ruine, who had the same vivid blonde hair as him.
There was someone next to Ruine too. It was Haruk, a boy with brown hair. He had traveled with Hestia. Hestia’s younger brother whom she loved like her own younger brother.
He was currently working in the County of Rubelt.
All three were people who received great help from Yuma.
“Oh wow…you portrayed Yuma-sama’s appearance properly.”
Ruine nodded vigorously at Kaisen’s words.
“It’s real.”
“Yes.”
Haruk also agreed.
A very large gray statue.
The statue even had a reproduction of the long coat that Yuma often wore.
The martial god with an expressionless face stood firmly inside the temple.
Yuma came only once before the temple was completed. For some reason, a sense of shame welled up in her, and she had never set foot on it after the temple was completed, so it was a statue she had never seen before.
Sarah…
The sound of clothes moving could be heard everywhere. As one, she bowed deeply and prayed.
Mythical power was building up very steadily.
Centered on Wilbeserk.
***
When Emperor Brigitte headed to the capital’s Crossroads of Glory to explain the crisis looming over the entire continent of Middle-earth.
Yuma decided what to do.
“Silmaria Continent.”
The place that suffered the most damage after being invaded by two gods.
First, we decided to get rid of the gods here.
