"Ha-ha-ha!?"
"hahaha"
"Hey. Have you tried the flow over there yet?
"Yeah! It's gonna be a bun on the way! That was sooo funny!!"
"It is. I'm gonna go for a second!
"Ah, me too! One more time!!"
The mermaids seem to be having fun with the currents that have occurred inside my temple.
This temple is basically open, so mermaids and fishermen are always free to come and go.
In this deep-sea world with little entertainment, the mermaids were looking forward to playing with the currents I make on a whim.
Apparently, the currents made by this boy named Hurt are more interesting to the mermaids than the currents I just make fast.
Ho. Does it fall from there all at once?
Whoa! So you turn at that angle!?
Hmm.
Googling around... sponging.
I see...... sounds like fun indeed.
I also wanted to give it a try, but I'm concerned about the gaze of the ceremonial gods and mermaids when it comes to playing with the currents made by the people, who are just sea gods.
I'm going to create my own stream of imitation later and play it sneaky.
"Hart, something like that?
"Yes. My name is Hart-Vi Silveray. I'm a wise man in Glendale."
"Sage with his youth...... hello, reincarnator?
"Yep. Exactly."
Hart answered my question honestly.
Aren't you willing to hide something?
Or do you know it's no use trying to keep something a secret because I'm a god...
Well, either way, it doesn't matter.
I liked Hurt.
You're so polite to be young, and the amount of magic that creates multiple currents inside my temple, and its manipulation skills, tells the story that he's strong.
I like a strong guy.
Some gods are strong guys like Martial God and Dragon God, but they can't fight them freely.
My grandfather (the Creator) pisses me off.
So when you find a strong one in a people or something, you get tense.
Besides, he came all the way to visit me.
He defeated Kraken and Leviathan underwater and came all the way to my sight.
This is the only way to fight!?
─ No, calm down.
Hart went after the ceremonial god and said he had come this far. Maybe the speed of travel in the water is so fast.
Don't bother getting away with it.
Well in the water, I don't think there's any way you can get away from me... chasing the guy who escaped and forcing him to fight is boring too.
I want to get along with whoever wants to fight me.
So...
"By the way, Hart. What are you doing here?
In the meantime, I decided to ask what I wanted.
Instead of doing what Hart wants, he's going to have you fight me.
I'm a god.
It is also the sea god who dominates the sea in this world.
There is also a connection between the sky god who unifies the sky and the earth god who manages the earth.
The god of the sky, the god of the earth, the god of the sea (me), and then the god of evil, are called the four great gods. The world's top four pillars of God - that's us.
Above us is only Grandpa, the supreme god.
So if I care about that, I can more or less fulfill what I want in this world.
However, I have a little trouble saying that I want to go back to the original world, which is common in reincarnators...
It takes a lot of divine energy to do that, so I can't do anything at my discretion. For once, you can't do it on your own, ready to get mad at your grandfather (the Creator).
I don't want to, but...
That's why I'm trying to see if Hart's wish is something I can fulfill in advance.
"Is that a purpose? Hmm, right..."
For some reason, Hart is worried.
"By the ship I was on, a big squid and a sea dragon stormed out, so I was stopping it. That's when I realized the woman there was underwater, and I ran away so fast, I chased her, and I came all the way here."
That was heard from Ceremony God.
Hart is a conditional reflex, and they've been chasing the ceremonial god.
Expression I think it's amazing that we can travel underwater at a rate that doesn't lose sight of God.
"I was surprised to see such a large building at the bottom of the ocean. And even though it's deep sea around here, it's bright because this building is blurry and glowing..."
Oh. That's glowing with my power.
Nothing, because I can operate without problems in the dark of the deep sea, but there are people who have trouble when the lower gods and so forth come.
"I was worried inside, I didn't have a watch or anything, and the door was completely open... so I came in"
"Really... hmm?
That could be...
"Wait a minute, Hart. You don't know who I am, do you?
"Huh!? Uh... sorry"
... Seriously.
You can't even tell this is my temple.
"Uh, excuse me. I thought you only knew me, so I didn't introduce myself. Again, I'm Poseidon, the god of the sea."
"Sea God, Poseid...... yeah!?"
"You know about me?
"Yes. Of course! A pillar of the four gods, right?
"Yes."
Even reincarnated people seem to already have that much knowledge.
"Then could this be... the temple of the Sea God?
"Ah. This is my address."
"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't know it, and it was weird inside the temple."
Weird thing is, I would have made the currents and let the mermaids play.
"Well, don't worry about that. The mermaids seemed to enjoy themselves."
Hart's magic manipulation was perfect, and the current created by magic never destroyed my temple, my ornaments, etc.
More than that, the problem is...
"If you didn't know this was a temple, you wouldn't have a particular wish for God (me), would you?
"... Yes"
Uh, yeah.
When it comes to that, it's hard.
I can't negotiate with you to fight me for a second instead of fulfilling your wish.
In this world, it is forbidden by the grandfather (the Creator) to lay his hands on humans from God.
The exception is if humans put their hands on God.
Even then, God is allowed to fight back.
That's why I was willing to start the fight after Hart gave me his first blow.
But when Hart just somehow came here, there was no way to negotiate.
I am the god of sea creatures in the first place, so I don't know what a human wants to live on earth.
It's been a lot of trouble.
"Hey, Hart. Why don't you fight me for a second?
I had a hard time thinking about it, so I decided to keep asking.
If this turns you down, there's no choice.
I think the hope is... thin.
He would be an idiot with a few screws off his head, an asshole who overconfident himself, or a bucket with more power than the gods (us).
Feels like I saw it. Hart seems young, but smart, and it's amazing how far I've been able to get here, but I couldn't feel the power of being so baffled.
That's why Hart won't fight me.
That's what I thought.
"Fine. Let's do it!
Hart said in a confident voice that he would fight me.
