He said.
“For example, there are strong people who deviate from providence. A name left in history or forgotten. Even beyond the deep history of Sternil, passages praising them can sometimes be found in ancient records. “Is this really an exaggerated admiration, or is it only an unbelievable truth recorded?”
Just when I was getting bored, an interesting topic came up.
I mentioned powerful figures in history whom I met in person.
“Tusin Venver. Are you talking about a great person like him?”
Benver is revered as a human being or a warrior god. His overwhelming strength has been passed down in stories and records for a thousand years. However, King Sternil denied it in a firm tone.
“no. He was certainly a strong human being, but in the end, he was only human. The strong I am talking about are those who were able to single-handedly support the world and also destroy it. For years I followed their trail with all my might. And then I realized. Stories that were merely ‘myths’ were actually ‘records’. I’m calling them like this. Adversary. “They are strong people who can stand against the world.”
King Sternil pointed to a huge work of art decorated on one wall of the banquet hall.
The low sun and the earth. And sprouts and growing humans.
The picture that seemed bizarre at first glance was the origin story of the Sternil solar faith.
This is a picture you often see wherever you go in Sternil.
This painting depicts the legend that the sun god descended on a desert that was nothing more than a wasteland and planted the seeds of humanity. The people of Sternil Kingdom regarded this with pride. Believing that they are the ‘beginning’ of humanity.
King Sternil stared at the painting. I soon realized the meaning of his actions.
“Do you really think that your opponents are ‘gods’?”
“god. “A being powerful enough to be called that.”
The king spat out profane words without even blinking.
King Sternil denied the subject of state religion.
“But they were not gods. “He is just an arrogant adversary who wanted to shape this world to his own taste.”
The king’s voice was full of confidence.
“The sun god is like that-”
Eyes like that are not good. There is no one more fearful than a fool full of conviction.
“Samsin would be like that.”
Grumble-
The king stood up and stood in front of the picture hanging on the wall.
He watched in silence and suddenly grabbed the painting with his hands and started tearing it apart.
Squeak!
After tearing up all the paintings, the king looked at me and smiled brightly.
It was a refreshing, cheerful expression.
“You would know. “The truth that Sternil tries so hard to deny.”
The king returned to the table and drank the wine from the gold cup in one go.
There is no such thing as etiquette. Black liquor flows from between his red lips.
“According to the tale of the Three Gods of Ajivika, the existence of the bottomless pit is considered the origin of hell. The world was originally hell. Samshin became the savior and created a new world. That’s right. The ‘life planted’ by Sternil’s sun god is not like a human! A distant continent, a being that resembles a human but is not human. Ain. “Demi-humans are the sun god’s creations.”
I was confused whether to agree with his crazy claims or not. A tale is just a tale. Even if you tried to convince me with stories of the gods, it wasn’t persuasive at all. But what if the story of the Three Gods or the Sun God is really true? No, the anecdotes I have experienced so far are already close to myths.
Daa.
Dalby, who was sleeping, stuck out his head.
He won’t tell you.
Sun god.
The existence of stars.
The vassals of the moon who protected the demi-human continent –
Yes.
Maybe what he says is really true.
“Humans are not something created by God. There is no Creator for us. Even this world does not belong to humans! We have been slaves since our existence, and the origin of this world is hell. The original owners of the world are demons and we… “They were just miserable beings who were exploited.”
Rarely is someone born with such outstanding talent. To put it in a good way, he is an evangelist and an intellectual, but in a bad way, he is a propagandist and a fraudster. But before I knew it, I was agreeing with his opinion. It wasn’t that I was persuaded, it was that I realized it. The devil and the bottomless pit. As someone who was closest to him, I personally experienced numerous phenomena that supported his claims. This is a thought that comes from experience.
“But at some point, history changed. From somewhere, adversaries appeared and fought against the devil, saving humans and making the world beautiful. We humans are happy to call them ‘gods’. But I don’t think so. This is not an issue that should be approached in the realm of faith and emotions. Where do they come from? Where did it come from and where did it disappear? The devil’s nest is clearly in this world. However, they leave the nest and go ‘hunting’. A long time ago, when this world was hell. So why did he bother to look for prey in his own world where only slaves exist? no. no. A nest and a hunting ground are different. Their hunting ground is not of this world. Very far… place. A place that cannot be reached even by iron ship. Beyond the sky. Beyond and beyond. So – it’s called another world. I don’t know if the adversaries are beings who are being ‘hunted’, or if they have ‘invaded’ this world to hunt the devil. What is certain is that they are not gods. The legends of the Three Gods, the Sun God, and Bartholomew’s sea god or giant. A power that humans can never reach. But he is neither omnipotent nor omniscient. “It’s just that foolish people don’t even realize the end of that power.”
The king moistened his mouth with alcohol.
And a scholar on the verge of a great discovery or an inventor who has invented a rare invention.
Or like a writer or painter who came up with a masterpiece.
His eyes flashed with madness and he laughed so loudly that his mouth covered his ears and he shouted.
“ha ha ha! Surprisingly, adversaries exist even in modern times! As many as four people. ha ha ha-”
I was expecting it.
We tried to hide it, but ‘our’ actions were too rough and overwhelming.
There must have been some who doubted it.
However, even if that were the case, they were the children of the devil and the descendants of God, and that was the extent of it.
It was the first time anyone had seen the essence like this.
When I met him in person, my mind was complicated.
Is he an ally or an enemy to be eliminated?
Killing someone just because they noticed it… … .
That would be the tyranny of an idiot.
King Sternil shouted, still excited.
“I hate hiding my true feelings! Suspicion comes from lies and is the most despicable act that destroys people and kills each other, so we must always be truthful, and I believe that sincerity is accepted. Let me ask you an honest question. Are Reinberg’s twins adversaries – beings from the ‘other world’?”
Haha, what a big secret.
I put both legs on the table and struck a cool pose.
Was this the answer you wanted?
The king, who was embarrassed, smiled empty-handed and scratched the back of his neck.
“ha ha ha… great. That was the answer. okay. “I did.”
Did he want me to deny it? He was picking up the leftover food with a listless expression on his face.
I took a big bite of butter bread from Bastes with plenty of raspberry jam on it.

“Let me warn you one thing.”
The raspberry jam was sweet. How much sugar did you put in? Of course it’s not poison. In desert wines, desserts full of sugar and honey, and even sweet seasonings used in meat dishes, sternyl acid, an ‘anti-spiriting agent’ that makes people feel good, is simply used excessively. The king must have mistakenly thought that I had a violent temper. If you only look at my achievements, it would certainly be misunderstood. But I was a quiet, timid gentleman who valued the opposite sex. At least compared to them. He was lucky. If only he were some other guy and not me.
It probably wouldn’t have been such a happy and delicious meal.
“Be careful.”
The king interpreted my warning differently.
His uvula moved loudly. Although he had always been confident, he became very cautious after proving his theory. It means that I have investigated in detail what kind of person I am. He answered stiffly, moving his hand awkwardly to cover his mouth with his stiff shoulder.
“I will keep that in mind. Sternil has no intention of offending his adversary. Even if he mobilizes all the power of the kingdom… Sternil will be destroyed overnight. I worship you. “You enemy.”
I waved my hand.
“No, I’m not saying you should be careful of me… … .”
He was smart, but he was also deeply mistaken.
For any reason.
It is true that out of the four twins, I was the first to contact him.
He considers me the most powerful of the twins.
In the end, it was a wise decision, but it would be difficult if misunderstandings deepened.
“Maybe they already know.”
“yes?”
“Twins, my brothers and sisters. I know how much you fear your adversaries, but they will have to be several numbers higher than you expect. They’ll look at you like you’re a kid who just realized something. Please don’t be offended. “I’m telling you this because I feel favored towards you.”
These were the three people who did not fit the word ‘underestimation’ the most.
“Never try to make a hasty contact like you are now. When the time comes or when the need arises, they will approach you on their own. Meeting me for the first time was probably a stroke of luck for you. Be careful. they… Be really careful. I’ll say it twice. Be careful. I’ll tell you three times. Be careful. There is no harm in being careful. Be careful, be careful again. careful… … .”
The warning to him was also a warning to me.
“Myung, I will keep that in mind.”
He is an extraordinary person.
I even killed my own father for my goal.
Although he was afraid of his adversary, when the opportunity arose, he immediately met me and told me his true feelings.
but.
That’s it.
Just because you’re smart doesn’t mean you’re not stupid.
I really wanted him to remain on friendly terms.
* * *
Two days later, a bundle of alliance agreements signed by the king himself was delivered.
I took a cross-desert float train to the border alone.
I received first-class treatment and traveled comfortably from the capital to the border.
“It’s not a coup, it’s a festival.”
A slogan for the new king hung on the street.
The kingdom people’s expressions brightened and the bards were already singing songs for the king.
I wrinkled my nose and looked out the window, admiring the scenery of the kingdom.
It was just two days ago.
The expressions of the people of Sternil Kingdom, who were disadvantaged in their controlled and oppressed lives, changed in an instant.
“This is why they are so smart.”
Sternil will be different.
It’s probably not a very welcome change for the Empire.
* * *
“Happy 19th birthday.”
It was my birthday.
Sergeant, sergeant.
Imperial Pope, Imperial Second-in-command, God of War, Twilight Witch –
Their birthday party was now more than just a banquet, it was an imperial national holiday.
After a period of confusion due to the conquest of demi-humans and the Demon Continent, peace came for a while, and those in power provided alcohol and food to appease the people’s chaotic lives. A nominal birthday celebration was also held, but the main characters did not attend.
At least I tried to attend.
Until Melissa suddenly came and spoke.
“I’ll give you a ‘quest’ as a gift.”
“Sorry, I won’t take it. “Be careful not to give or receive gifts.”
I was curious. No matter how strong Melissa’s strength is, can she hurt me, who has become stronger?
The correct answer was ‘yes’.
“Why hit me when I can just say it in words…” … .”
“Strangely enough, I feel jealous when I see you. Hmm, is this also a crack number due to misalignment? “The other side of the fifty-nine rooms is connected in multiple dimensions.”
“Why don’t you just say I hit you because I wanted to hit you…” … . Ah, so. “What is the quest?”
“It’s useless now. “You go and turn it over.”
Melissa smiled gently and scolded me.
“We are going to the Magic Tower, little brother.”
