Episode 155 < Become a god. (1) >
One.
The volcano painted the world red.
Crrrrrrr-
Lava engulfed the mountain starting from the top. The lava was uncontrollable, like a bubbling overflowing soda. Lush forest from the summit to the ridge. The green light burned in an instant.
Numerous races screamed.
“I am just your helper.”
With the disaster in the background, the princess yawned.
“You guys are different. You are the guardian stars who take care of those children. You decided on your own to unlock the next stage and choose a race to take care of in the future. Please try.”
“Even if I tell you to try… . “I’m embarrassed.”
The paladin frowned. She looked back and forth between the volcano and the cavemen. Impatience was evident in her expression.
“There is absolutely no way to interfere. Voices are not transmitted either. It’s not even visible. “How can we evacuate those children?”
The vice leader of our tower’s vigilante group is basically a good person. Even if it’s a species you’ve never seen before, you’ll want to help them.
Other colleagues also agreed. In general, everyone was restless. Even at this moment, lava was covering the primeval forest.
“hmm.”
I couldn’t help but go out.
“Princess. “Before we started the stage, we were given [tribal points].”
“however?”
“You couldn’t have given it to me for nothing. “I guess they shared it because it was useful somewhere.”
I spoke calmly.
“As our helper, please let us know what we can do with [tribal points]. “As quickly and intuitively as possible.”
“…….”
The princess smiled. Her princess eyes were saying, ‘That’s right.’ Seeing that reaction, her colleagues also raised their eyes at her. They also realized that my point was valid.
“aha… . Is this a way to purchase some kind of item or technology?”
“We’ll use the points too! Please suggest services that can be used with points!”
“ha.”
The princess shrugged her shoulders.
“So, the stage strategy depends on whether there is one quick-witted warrior or not? Well, Death King is right. “This is definitely part of the helper’s job.”
Slurp!
A notification window popped up and a hologram was displayed in front of our eyes.
[Welcome to the Civilization Store.]
The hologram contained a long list of products.

‘okay.’
From now on, it’s real time.
So far, I have referred to the ‘strategy’ that the Flame Emperor went through in the past. Emperor Yan occasionally talked about how he conquered stages in interviews, and the collection of those interviews was like a strategy book.
I remember this strategy quite well.
‘But that doesn’t mean I know all the detailed strategies.’
I know that [Civilization Store] exists.
However, I don’t know exactly what product I need to purchase to overcome the current difficulty. Purely with my own strength. I have to use my brain to figure it out.
‘How can I make sure to lead the goblins to a safe place? Should I also purchase [Oracle Message] and try to communicate?’
I was worried.
At that time, the Holy Knight hurriedly opened his mouth.
“There are questions. [Oracle Message] Does it mean delivering a message directly to a species?”
As if people had similar thoughts, the paladin also had his eyes on the same item as me. The princess nodded her head lightly as if she had expected that to happen.
“huh. that’s right.”
“How is the message delivered specifically?”
“You already know this way. “It’s the same as the constellation sending you a message.”
The princess twisted the side of her hair with her fingers.
[The princess walking through the mirage shows you an example.]
A voice rang in my head. It was a voice message.
“You’ve already been through this many times, right?”
“I told you. You will experience becoming a constellation. Oh. [Trust Message] is a disposable product. Even if you purchase a message, you can only send it once, so be careful! The number of people who receive a message is limited to one! “If you want to send more, you can buy it again.”
The paladin nodded.
“i get it. “Purchase one [Oracle Message].”
The princess smiled ominously.
“huh. No matter what happens, there is absolutely no refund.”

When I saw the princess’s smile, I knew something was wrong.
However, the purchase has already been completed.
The Holy Knight looked down at the Saegi tribe, the race he had chosen. The Saegi people were mermaids. Mermaids were struggling in the river, clenching their gills.
“The lava is flowing from the east… “It won’t work in the south.”
The paladin muttered. She was trying to stay calm even though she was in a hurry. After she pointed out a mermaid who seemed to be her leader among the Saegi tribe, the paladin declared that she would send her oracle.
“[Swim west with all your might!]”
Burrr!
The mermaid leader jumped up and splashed.
-Kyaaa? Kyaaaaaah?
The mermaid was startled and tapped the surface of the water with her tail. For that guy, the voice of God suddenly rang out in his head. Of course you can’t help but be surprised.
But this mermaid’s reaction was strange.
“… … uh?”
The mermaid did not swim to the western waterway. Just spinning around in place. Even though she contributed valuable points, she was suddenly ignored. The paladin looked at the mermaid with a blank face.
“wait for a sec. That’s a different story! “Why don’t you listen to the oracle!”
“well?”
The princess pretended not to notice and leaned her side face against the pillow.
“You don’t just say ‘Yes, I understand’ just because you hear the voice of a constellation, right? “Maybe it’s similar to that.”
“what……!”
“Or else. Well, there really isn’t much time left. If we leave it like this, all races from the 31st floor might become extinct? Then your strategy for conquering the tower ends here.”
Even though it was obnoxious, the princess was right.
Kurrrrrr-
Now the lava has flowed down to the foot of the mountain. Not only the lava, but also the rocks that erupted as the volcano erupted were threatening. If even a single rock hits the tribe directly, the damage will be severe.
‘why? ‘Why didn’t the oracle work?’
I quickly shook my head.
‘Did the princess deceive us? no. It is unlikely that the tower’s helper deliberately deceived us. I may not tell you the truth, but I won’t lie. ‘Could it be that the mermaid really didn’t understand?’
While I was thinking about it, my eyes caught the sight of goblins scurrying around.
-Kerrr!
-Keruk! Grumble!
The goblins howled. The primitive race was perplexed as they watched the rocks pouring down from the sky like a meteor shower.
“…….”
That moment.
“ah.”
I realized something.
The very obvious truth.
“There’s nothing wrong with oracles!”
“hmm?”
“There was no problem with Mr. Holy Knight’s oracle! “The problem is with them!”
I looked back at my colleagues and said. Everyone made eye contact. Among them, the paladin hesitated while contemplating whether to purchase one more [Oracle Message].
“What do you mean, Death King?”
“Do not buy more messages. “It’s useless.”
“So, you need to know why… … .”
“of course! “They probably haven’t perfected [the language] yet!”
The paladin’s eyes widened.
“what?”
“These guys are really primitive people. If I told those kids to “flee to the west with all their might,” how would they understand? Where is [the West] in the first place?”
“Oh, indeed!”
“yes! The translation probably won’t work properly. [Vocabulary] will be needed!
Only then did the Holy Knight notice his blind spot.
The other colleagues’ eyes also widened. My point was correct. Compared to primitive people, our language is overly developed. No matter how much primitive people wanted to understand, they couldn’t.
“… oh my god. “Then trusts are really useless?”
The Black Dragon Master made a puzzled expression.
“If you say [go that way], they will listen, but this time we can’t name where [that side] is…” . “I’m not sure how much they can understand us.”
“no. “There must be a way.”
The tower doesn’t lie.
Never prepare for a stage that is impossible to conquer.
I looked at the [Civilization Store] again with confidence.

[Trust Message] – 20p
[Animal Possession] – 40p

and.
I thought of one strategy.
A way to evacuate primitive people to a safe area without conveying it verbally.
“Princess!”
“huh.”
“Can I search for the game I want with [Search for Game]? For example, if I want a tiger, can I search for the closest tiger?”
The princess nodded.
“huh. Is it possible. There are no tigers in this world, but I can find you as similar a beast as possible. However, directly possessing a primitive person is prohibited. “For that, you need a higher-grade item.”
okay.
A picture was drawn in my mind.
“I will purchase one copy of [Search for Prey].”
The Black Dragon Master did not understand and tried to stop me.
“Death King? In the current situation, how can you hunt leisurely… … .”
“I’ll give you an explanation later!”
There is little time left.
[Purchase ‘Search for Prey’.]
[5 race points are consumed!]
[Your current race points are 95.]
I have a card of the same color in my hand.
As soon as I checked the card, I asked the princess.
“Princess. Please search for the beast with the ‘most unusual color’, ‘quick feet’, and ‘a rather large size’ around here. A white deer or a white lion. Or something like a black horse. Anything goes!”
“… … Hehe.”
The princess’s eyes lit up as if she was having fun.
“The conditions are quite vague, though. Okay, I’ll find it for you. You are still a beginner. “I don’t want to be tough like other kids.”
The princess moved her fingers.
Then the card in my hand melted.
[Your ‘Prey Search’ is consumed.]
The card melted and turned into bronze light powder. The light powder moved quickly as if it had its own will. Among the bushes it was heading toward, a huge animal was crouching.
It was a lion with white fur.
Fortunately, it is located quite close to the goblin village.
“I will purchase additional items from the store.”
I spoke without hesitation.
“I buy [animal possession].”
Messages appeared one after another.
[Purchase ‘Animal Possession.’]
[40 race points are consumed!]
[Your current race points are 55.]
The precious initial capital was cut in half in an instant. But it doesn’t matter. The urgent priority is to save the goblin race from the lava that will wipe out the primeval forest at any moment.
“ah!”
When the Heretic Questioner looked at me, he realized something.
“indeed! okay. Everyone, possess the beast that stands out as much as possible!”
The Heretic Questioner followed me and purchased [Search for Prey] and [Animal Possession].
“Primitive people revere mysterious-looking animals. It is a very basic faith! Ah haha. “If the world is about to be destroyed and a ‘white lion’ or a ‘black deer’ appears, I will accept it as a revelation from God!”
Also, the Heretic Questioner. It was quick to understand.
“Possess a mysterious animal and guide it directly to the safe zone! Even if you don’t say anything, they will follow you! “This is an excellent trick, Death King!”
“ah.”
“surely… .”
“Everyone hurry!”
My colleagues purchased the same items as me.
Leaving those companions behind, I pointed at the white lion and played the [Animal Possession] card.
“I am possessed by that animal.”
Sigh!
My consciousness wavered and I went into blackout.
The next moment, I opened my eyes and I was looking at a changed perspective.
“Krrr… ”
From my mouth, no. The harsh sound of an animal flowed from its mouth. When I looked down, I saw sharp claws gnawing at the ground. Its beautiful white fur hid its wild ferocity.
“Grrr! Grr!”
‘Good, all as planned!’
I raised my heavy body. The lion’s body was completely different from that of a human. Walking on all fours was awkward. However, even though I kept trying in vain, I ran towards the nearby goblins.
‘Using an auror… It’s not impossible, but it’s difficult. The blood levels are very different.’
thud! Coo!
I ran through a dry forest road. The lion stepped on the ground with its front paws and struck with its hind paws. Although running on four legs was awkward, the lion’s running was very fast.
‘oh.’
It was amazing.
‘It feels surprisingly good, doesn’t it?’
The smell of smoke from burning trees.
The scent of freshly bloomed flowers.
This stench coming right up close… It must be a goblin’s body odor. It smells like soybean paste stew that has gone bad overnight in the summer heat.
‘Ugh. ‘How come this race’s body odor is so ugly!’
Before I knew it, I had arrived at the goblin village. The strong smell made it easier to find my way.
-Scream!
-Ker, kerk!
The primitive goblins were still out of their minds. The young goblin clung to its mother and howled loudly, and the adult goblins also stuck their heads on the ground (I don’t know what gesture they were making) or stamped their feet.
If you were so embarrassed, you wouldn’t even know that a white lion was approaching.
‘What a pitiful and pitiful race.’
I stood tall at the entrance to the village.
“Krrrrrrr!!”
And then it roared at the goblins.
-What?!
-Kerrp! Ker?!
The goblins were frantic. The goblins who were hitting their heads on the floor struggled to get up and fell. The young goblins’ cries became sharper.
‘What the hell. Good job, good job.’
From the goblins’ point of view, the ground suddenly shook, fire demons covered the sky, and even strangely colored demonic beasts finally appeared. It must literally feel like the world is ending.
“Grrrrr!”
I wagged my tail and hit the ground. And then he whipped his head around.
‘Follow me. You guys! ‘Follow me!’
Of course, these guys are goblins. He looks like a goblin and has the brain level of a goblin. No matter how mysterious the animal appeared and showed strange behavior, it did not easily follow. He just watched me from afar, as if he was scared.
‘then.’
I pulled out my trump card.
“Rumble!”
An unfamiliar sound erupted from my mouth, neither a human voice nor a lion’s roar.
[Goblin High Society] was written.
The goblins who had been acting frustrated so far pricked up their ears.
-Ke, Keruk?
“Rurrr! “Go!”
-Kerrrrr… ?
The goblins looked at each other. And then they whispered. There is definitely a nuance of ‘What is he saying?’ ‘I don’t know, but there is some unassailable majesty…’ ‘ I felt like I was chatting away.
I rolled my front foot and hit the ground.
“Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Gorgor! Gorgeous!”
‘Follow me, bastards! a little!’
Startle. Startle.
The goblins stood up one by one.
‘good. Well done! yes! Good job, my cubs!’
I snorted.
Goblin. You are creatures that are bipedal in name and in nature. Even if we are a primitive tribe whose brains have been dyed green now, we can one day build a dazzling civilization!
“Gar, gorrtuk… !”
‘Now, follow me!’
I made a nice U-turn and trudged off into the woods.
Although the goblins were hesitant, they quietly followed behind me. There was a small scuffle over who would take the lead first, but eventually all the goblins in the village started following me as if they were possessed.
at that time.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
Not long after I escaped with my group, a chunk of rock erupted from the volcano and fell on the goblin colony. The ground shook loudly.
-Kerrrr?!
-Keru! Kerup, Kerleup?!
The goblins fell down in surprise. Soon the goblins seemed to realize that something terrible had happened to their hometown and that they had narrowly escaped disaster.
[The last residence of the goblin race has been destroyed!]
[Now you must lead them to their new residence.]
The goblins looked at me in shock.
There was a subtle cuteness lurking in the simple faces.
“Gor.”
‘Heh.’
I snorted with my white lion body.
“Kekerukker.”
‘Please know that I am grateful.’
And then he trudged on, showing off his cool figure.
-Kerrr… .
-Ke, Kerukker!
The mood of the goblins changed completely. The things that had been following me just a moment ago, full of fear and caution, suddenly followed me closely.
-Kekkerukker!
The goblins roared.
-Kekkerukker!
-Kekkerukker! Kekerukker!
‘What are these things… ?’
I was relieved to finally understand what they were saying. But unfortunately, what they were saying wasn’t translated.
It was at that moment that T.O.P.’s voice flowed into my head.
[The beginning of faith!]
[The goblin race awakens to primitive religion!]
uh?
[I give it to you!]
[Your race is the first in this world to have entered into a primitive religion!]
I blinked.
[From now on, the goblin race will cultivate the ‘white lion faith.’]
[You have achieved the achievement for the first time!]
[You will be given 500 race points!]
what. these.
I hesitantly looked back at the group of goblins.
-Kekkerukker! Kekerukker!
The goblins were following me, shouting strange slogans. her. I was so dumbfounded that I just snorted at him.
‘Do these guys really think of me as God?’
Gongja Kim.
It was the moment when I became the god of goblins.
