Lesson 35: Divine Punishment
"You're next."
The next thing the goddess approaches is the nobles.
They came up to the stage to make demands on the king, but now they regret coming up.
"Hih......!
The most frightening of them all is the Marquis of Remtar.
He had a sense that he was buying the wrath of the goddess the most.
"You harassed Noel all kinds of things just because she was born so humble."
"... No, I don't think so."
"I was watching everything."
Secrets that are told only to The Witch.
People's prayers for Tishua, the goddess, are delivered with strength.
At that time, thoughts caged in prayer are also delivered to the goddess.
Even the nobles are followers of the devout goddess Tishua. Daily prayers are indispensable. Sometimes I confess to what I did. Also, even if it's not penance, I'm just thinking about it, and it's disgusting to God.
……
The nobles had lost their word when they were told about it.
Thoughts that can be caged in prayer are thoughts that are not false.
Instead, if lies seem to be mixed up, they will be betraying God.
That is, subject to divine punishment.
"Your sins are unforgivable. But..."
The sharp gaze of the goddess is directed at the Marquis of Remtar.
"You are the most unforgivable one."
"Oh......"
"Confess your sins to people. Listen to that, and if people will forgive me, I'll forgive them too."
……
"This is the last call."
I don't know if the goddess is magic or skill, but I use my powers.
Then the audience will also hear the voices of those on stage.
"Please stop already!
One woman in a dress stands before the goddess.
"What about you?
"I'm Misty, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Remtar. If you're really the goddess who saved the kingdom of Memphis, stop imitating people like this."
Indeed, what the goddess is doing is tantamount to the act of hunting people down.
You look like you're hurting an innocent people if you don't know what they've done to 'witches'.
The goddess - sighed - under the girl's upright gaze.
"You're frightened and you can't say anything. It was your ancestors who began to worship me as a god in the first place."
"Huh...?
"I am also an original beast born in this land."
That's what I say and make white wings appear on my back.
Angels and godlike wings depicted in fables, depending on the appearance. But when you calm down and take a look, you don't even look like a dove-like bird's wing.
The herself told me she was an animal man and everyone noticed as well as the girl.
"I was originally just a girl with a special skill in life deprivation (lifedrain). Sometimes I was afraid of my skills, and I resented them, but when I gave my land the vitality it absorbed from being a menace, like a demon, it enriched me, so I used it for people."
The beginning of the Kingdom of Memphis to be told.
"There have appeared many gods and beasts."
It wasn't just the three of them at the time.
Even masters of martial arts and good wizards had no teeth.
The only thing that could be countered was the taking of life by the goddess (Lifedrain).
That didn't last long either.
The power of one goddess was not enough because there were too many godbeasts.
So I came up with a way to use the power I took to create different spaces and trap the Divine Beast there.
Safe, all godbeasts sealed in different spaces.
However, during the purification of different spaces, the goddess was to disappear into different spaces due to the rampage of forces that could not be handled.
The goddess believed that only one person would go decaying in a world where the divine beast and the environment in which they could live were in order.
"Then a real God came under me"
But it didn't.
Someone came to talk to me.
Its existence gave me the ability to prepare a statue of God for the goddess and to gather the thoughts caged in people's prayers. And it gave me the role of absorbing life from it and giving it to the land.
The goddess, who had a desire to accomplish something for the people of her hometown, took on the role.
The gaze of the people who were listening is directed towards the statue of the god in the Great Shrine.
I don't know how long it's been. Statue of Goddess.
There are even those who are moved to know its origins.
"And the statue of God had another function"
Ability to choose only one being that will increase your affinity with the Divine Statue.
That's - "The Witch".
"Witches" can further enhance their affinity with the statue of God by dancing, as well as with the goddess upon whom the statue originated, so that they can hear the word of God.
"I decided to work with my descendants even after the deaths of people who knew about me because people in my hometown were important. As a result, as time went by, I was an animal man, and I faded and I was only born as God."
It is at the discretion of people to push their ideals as gods.
Rather, let them do whatever they want than revive it into this world.
"It was more than a thousand years ago that I became a god, but thanks to the taking of life (Lifedrain), my body never grew old and has lived forever."
The words of a person who knew the time.
Besides, everyone believed that the existence they had worshipped with God was with the other person.
"I've contributed to the country so far, so let me do what I want at the end of the day."
The girl backs off.
We found ourselves in front of the same 'people' as we were at the same time God.
"Now, do you have something to say?
……
"Are you not going to plead guilty to your sins over this period..."
Exhale and the goddess snarls her fingers.
Then some footage is shown in the air.
It was footage of a dark dungeon in the basement of the Royal Castle.
Immediately after the summoning magic was used, and the magic formations painted on the floor emitted a strong light.
"This is the magic formation I have prepared to send the beast to different spaces."
The Summoning Magic Formation was actually not a magic formation to summon to this world, but a magic formation to send from this world to different spaces.
"Your ancestors succeeded in transforming the Divine Beast, sent to different spaces through years of research, into a magical formation to bring it back to this world."
That's who the magic formation is enough to summon the divine beast.
"So, bullshit!
Raise your voice to the full.
At the next moment, the video shown in the air is distorted to show past events.
"All right, it's a success."
"That's very intimidating."
In past dungeons, the Marquis of Lemtal and a wizard in purple robes talked.
Before the two, a monster with a giant body in silver armor.
Flaming armor.
"At this rate, call out the other demons."
'But is it okay to imitate the likelihood of depriving the "witch" of her achievements? And let the god beast who summoned him attack the king's capital...'
'No problem. It's all about dropping such a low-born "witch". If you say that power will be usurped, isn't it rather wishful or fulfilling? Besides, that king shelters the "witch" now, even if the authority of the "witch" is lost. Some sacrifice is necessary to cut the king's power. "
"Ha."
Eventually, the Beast King continued to shelter about Noel, as the Marquis of Lemtal had anticipated.
As a result, the nobles immersed themselves in a power struggle to 'witch' a girl with strong influence of their own, and the king's authority ceased to make sense.
Plans have been somewhat sooner, but the king has decided to leave.
It is the young Prince Leold who succeeds the throne.
Use your own daughter there, for example, to gain more power.
"Father..."
My daughter had a cold gaze when she saw footage of her father speaking her own heart.
"Chi, chi...!
Everything should have gone well.
I don't know where my plans went crazy...... cause the only thing that happened was in the myth that a real goddess would descend etc.
"Now, what do people think when they know the truth about the divine beast noise -"
- Is it?
A stone was thrown towards the Marquis of Lemtal before I ran out of words.
What Noel was being thrown at was now directed to the Marquis of Remtar.
"Then let us decide to impose divine punishment"
"Divine punishment?"
Marquis Remtar, who bleeds from his forehead, frightens.
"First, I'm going to ask you to return the divinity that was supposed to be served to me because you just need the excess"
"What?"
At the next moment, blood erupted simultaneously from the entire body of the Marquis of Lemtal.
