431. Butterfly effect (3)
Discomfort.
Sometimes, in situations where there is a lot of awkwardness and incongruity that goes against common sense and logic, I often feel extremely uncomfortable.
The God of the Current Moon, who was the suzerain of a planet and created a hierarchy of divinity as a higher deity, was no different.
“… … .”
step… … .
Excited, Excited-.
It wasn’t just pure discomfort and discomfort.
Suddenly, the God of Hyeonwol was able to realize that beyond the unknown sense of discomfort, there was anxiety and fear that could not be washed away.
It’s like being a prey that sees a predator hiding in the bushes, a situation where your whole body even trembles slightly.
Daldaldal… … .
It was bizarre.
For a higher godhead who is worthy of being called the suzerain of a planet, this sense of discomfort is bound to be unfamiliar.
Even more so, wouldn’t it feel even more unfamiliar if, beyond the discomfort and discomfort caused by the unknown sense of incongruity, you also felt fear and nervousness that seemed to have no cause and effect?
‘… … ‘Somewhere, something is strange.’
For a split second, the God of the Current Moon looked at a young man standing in the middle of the forest with a stern expression on his face.
‘What on earth is that guy doing?’
It was strange.
According to the information that the non-consensual god, who was originally selected as the gatekeeper of the sacred realm <Forest of Shadows>, contacted with divine power, there is one scum who claims to be a god belonging to the lawful camp.
And, accordingly, he would bring an unknown god completely neutralized to this sacred realm <Forest of Shadows>.
‘Why is the God of Non-Accord, a higher deity, filled with fear, and not that unknown guy?’
But… … .
‘Isn’t this something that goes against common sense and logic?’
I don’t know why, but even among the higher deities, the god of non-conformity, who had almost no flaws in the divine hierarchy, seemed to be visibly filled with great fear.
‘shit… … .’
contradiction.
A situation where the front and back do not match.
I felt something that went against common sense and logic.
In fact, if you think about it rationally, I was suffering from discomfort, nervousness, and annoyance caused by an unknown fear over something that was nothing, without being able to shake it off.
‘I don’t know why I feel like I have to run away from here right now.’
And, accordingly, the heartbeat grew even louder, and the anxiety, nervousness, and discomfort in the unidentifiable discomfort that felt as if it was tearing through each and every part of my nervous system were inflating.
Excited, Excited-.
It grew at a faster rate every time the other high-ranking gods standing in the center of the sacred realm <Forest of Shadows> spoke.
“The God of Gulgong frowns and laughs at an unknown being.”
[ Pfft! That’s interesting. What did you just say? I am a bastard who cannot even proudly reveal the hierarchy of divinity… … . Did you dare make a joke? It’s ridiculous. ]
Discomfort.
“The god of good fortune reveals his feelings of anger and contempt towards an unknown being.”
[ under! A guy who at first glance looks like he barely reached the divinity level of a formal godhead, let alone a higher level godhead… … !! Are you so crazy about wanting to die that you don’t even know my subject?! ]
Discomfort.
“The god of non-conformity pays attention to the actions of any being and moves his lips so as not to offend anyone.”
[ Huh, huh! Oh, how can you spit out such nonsense! Oh, how cruel! How can you not know! Well, the person standing here is not some insignificant thing, but a great servant of the universe who has achieved the hierarchy of great divinity… … . ]
Discomfort.
What does it mean for a non-consensual god to be embarrassed by that young man, who seems to be at best a high-ranking godhead or not even a very strong one among the formal godheads?
At this point, I was almost certain that the strong sense of discomfort I felt was not an illusion, unlike the God of Hyeonwol and the God of Gulgong or Seonchuk.
‘We need to get out of here right away.’
It was unusual.
I happened to say something about how it was suitable to be used as ‘bait’ by that unknown young man… … .
Somehow, seeing that unknown young man’s aura of arrogance and composure, typical of a strong man, I couldn’t even dare to say such a thing anymore.
“Is it a hierarchy of divinity…? … .”
However, just for a moment.
“That’s not wrong either.”
Suddenly, the unknown young man who heard those words nodded and acted as if he had a point.
It’s like being a superior who hears some complaints from a subordinate.
At this point, the God of the Current Moon can no longer deny that the unknown young man is an unusual being.
He immediately followed his intuition and tried to escape from the sacred realm, but as if he was unlucky, the other person spoke before he could do so.
“Well, it seems like the sacred realm itself has a knack for hiding signs of divinity and mana, so there’s no need to hide your power so tightly anymore.”
and.
“If that’s the case, then you should let me know.”
Next moment.
“The god of transcendence and death smiles coldly and exudes the full power of divinity.”
[Who on earth is standing in front of you? ]
Ggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!
Even in the blink of an eye, the sacred realm <Forest of Shadows> was shattered in an instant, showing a level of divinity that would not be strange.
Jijijijijijijijijijik-!
[ Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! ]
[ Hehehehe!! So, I can’t breathe─. ]
[ Ah ah ah ah ah!! Oh my head! It feels like my head is splitting… … !! Whoosh, whoosh!! ]
In an instant, one of the three high-ranking gods standing in the sacred realm <Forest of Shadows> collapsed as if he could no longer stand.

Jeopuk, Jeopuk-.
And, the unknown man who watched the entire process looked down at everyone as if he was pitiful and quietly muttered.
[If you don’t know fractions or can’t even understand a topic, each of you had to make a lot of noise… … . ]
Just by lightly emitting his own level of divinity without any processing, it is not enough to overpower the three higher levels of deity at once, and it is a power that pushes the realm of divinity to the brink of destruction.
[In the first place, you guys don’t understand a single fraction, and if you talk like that in front of me, doesn’t that mean you really don’t understand the topic? ]
At this point, not only the God of Hyeonwol, who has a particularly good sense among the three higher deities, but also the God of Gulgong and the God of Seonchuk, can’t help but notice who that unknown young man is.
[ War of the Gods. Don’t be annoyed by the remnants of the defeated soldiers who fled to the Western Front. It makes me want to kill him needlessly. ]
Originally, in this universe, higher deities are beings with power that is so great that they are enough to be called the rulers of a planet.
Mortals who do not possess divinity, and even formal deities that have managed to stably establish the concept of divinity themselves, do not reach the level of higher deities.
In fact, isn’t there only one state where one can so overwhelmingly subdue those who have formed the hierarchy of divinity, called higher deities, as if they were children?
[I have taken care of all the chosen demon kings who appeared on the Western Front and the higher-ranking gods of the Chaos faction. ]
obviously.
[ therefore… … . ]
That means only one thing.
[You guys are under my control and command from now on. ]
This means that the unidentified young man in front of me is a being who has established a different hierarchy of deities, such as a higher deity or a formal deity.
[Well, since you don’t know a single thing about me, I’ll tell you who I am once again, so it would be better to listen and remember it properly this time. ]
That’s also huge.
[God of transcendence and death. ]
It’s no different… … .
[That is the divine name of the ancient godhead who will bring victory to the lawful side in this war of gods. ]
It was Han Seong-yoon.
***
In an instant, there was peaceful silence in the hall.
Before I knew it, I had almost defeated all the high-ranking gods gathered in the sacred realm <Forest of Shadows> and had a relaxed expression on my face.
Well, in the War of the Gods, I wanted to avoid a troublesome situation where one of the other ancient deities was watching me, so I refrained from revealing my divinity and mana as much as possible, but there was no need to do that this time.
‘You’re lucky.’
If we were to be honest, would we say there was unintended luck?
It must have been given a unique ability to partially hide the traces of divinity and mana attached to the sacred area <Forest of Shadows>.
Whether they wanted it or not, as long as they were here, a certain amount of their divinity and mana would be hidden, so they could make a fuss without thinking about what happened next.
‘Well, even so, I refrained from using my divine status more violently because I felt like the sacred realm itself would be destroyed.’
I had to adjust the force slightly, but I’m not particularly dissatisfied.
In any case, I was able to relieve a lot of my stress in my own way, so I guess I should say that I am generous and think that good things are good things in the end.
Moreover, there were still many things left for me to do to relieve my stress, so I needed to get them done quickly.
“Shall I give you a mission?”
and.
“From the Western Front to the outlying districts, everyone probably didn’t make it that far.”
In response, I trembled and looked at the prostrating higher-ranking gods and asked for help in a kind tone.
“Whether it’s a high-ranking deity or a formal deity, you just have to bring them all to me without leaving anything out.”
[ yes? Well, what is that! Above, great lord of the universe! Well, with our power, we can’t easily suppress and bring back the higher-level gods and formal gods… … . ]
“Don’t hate it. Well, as much as there is a lack of high-ranking gods and formal gods on the Western Front, we can make up for it from you. efficiently. “That’s it.”
[ … … . ]
Defeated soldiers.
An order was given to retreat from the Western Front and bring back all the high-ranking deities and formal deities from the runaway or pro-order camp.
In fact, if they said no, I had no intention of wasting time looking for fugitives, so I was planning to gain some benefit from them efficiently.
“What should I do?”
But… … .
[ uh… … Well, I just tried it once! Above, great one!! We can easily find and bring back those shameless people who have run away to the Western Front… … !! ]
[Ah, ahaha! Please feel free to leave it to me! All of us here are high-ranking gods in name and appearance, so there’s no way we’d be scared of such a light task, right? Absolutely! ]
[ Hee hee!! Do it, we will do it! I will definitely do it! I will do whatever it takes! I will capture those guys alive, even if it means risking my life!! ]
Did they also feel that I was very warm-hearted and showed ‘consideration’ through persuasion and conversation?
For some reason, it seemed like I was really motivated to pursue tracking activities, so it became a warm atmosphere for the first time in a long time.
Originally, persuasion and dialogue were only possible when the other person also had the heart to feel ‘consideration’.
This effectively made them realize how much ‘consideration’ they were showing to them, and the four higher-ranking gods also responded to the consideration and pursued and searched for the defeated soldiers until their soles were on fire.
‘Is it slowly?’
Is that why?
[ … … hmm? I’ve heard that there is a hideout on the Western Front that won’t even be attacked by ancient gods, but it doesn’t seem that great. ]
[What does that mean? A hideout? One of the higher-ranking gods told me that this was a portal to the central front? ]
[ her! What the hell are you both talking about? This is a priest who can send a request for protection to an ancient deity on the neutral side by offering a sacrifice! ]
It was a hit.
Soon, in the sacred realm <Forest of Shadows>, most of the high-ranking gods and regular gods who had escaped from the Western Front gathered together in less than a day.
Well, at first glance, it seemed like all the high-ranking gods and regular gods who belonged to the lawful camp and had been drafted to the Western Front had gathered, so I went forward with a big smile on my face.
Tuktuk-.
Of course, I did not forget to thank those who brought as many high-ranking gods and formal gods as I did to this sacred realm <Forest of Shadows> for their hard work.
“That’s amazing. I never thought that most of the high-ranking gods and regular gods who escaped from the Western Front would gather together so quickly. By the way, you worked hard to bring everyone here.”
[ ha ha ha… … . Rice, no comment. Well, rather, we would like to return to the order camp’s headquarters and go help on other fronts… … . ]
“Have you been experiencing any emotional hardships these days?”
[ yes? uh… … . What do you mean by that… … . ]
“It hurts my heart when you suddenly beg me to kill you like that.”
[ … … . ]
And, leaving a small message to the four higher-ranking gods that they would continue to work hard, I went forward and showed myself to the higher-ranking gods and formal gods gathered in the forest.
Chak-.
“While I am grateful to the numerous high-ranking gods and formal gods who have come here, I have one command to give.”
He looks at each of the hundreds of high-ranking gods and formal gods in front of him and speaks directly to them.
“From now on, I will lead the gods of the lawful faction on this western front and push them to the chaos faction’s main base.”
From the introduction, body, and conclusion, he used an extremely efficient speaking style that did not waste any time.
“Until then, I hope that you will be careful to prevent defectors from the Western Front again and play an active part as a member of the excellent orderly camp.”
But was it not as good as I thought it would be to hear it from the other side?
Kwahiah ah ah ah ahhhhh!
Suddenly, a large stone was launched next to where we were standing, breaking the ground.
“The God of Compartment frowns and expresses anger and frustration.”
[ under! Don’t talk nonsense! A top that looks weak at first glance… … !! How dare you act like you’re the boss!! ]
It was bloody.
There seems to be a lot of dissatisfaction with this area.
It seemed that others were not that different.
[ Tsk! I came because they said there was a hiding place where I could avoid being discovered even by my ancient godhead! In the end, I was fooled by that idiot! ]
[ 개새끼가!! You said there was a portal here that could take you to the central front!! Dare, dare! Did you trick me!! ]
[ Dammit! You damn bastards! Lord, I guess you said you could send a request for protection by making a sacrifice to one of the ancient deities in the neutral camp? Was that all a lie too?! ]
However, just for a moment.
“The god of division raises the power of divinity and mana from the entire body.”
[ Haha!! Yes, good!! If you still want to be the boss like a monkey, I’ll join you! I will cut off your head and hang it on that tall tree!! Come, you scum-like bird… … . ]
There is absolutely no need to persuade or make excuses.
“The power ‘Sunbo’ is activated.”
「A cooldown is granted for this power for 10 minutes.」
「Consumes divine power to immediately move to the desired point within sight.」
Jijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijiji!
In the blink of an eye, I teleported with the power ‘Shunbo’ and killed the red muscular giant, the god of division.
“Challenger Han Seong-yoon won against a high-ranking god, becoming 0.62% closer to [transcendence].”
「The mastery of the unique characteristic ‘Necromancy’ increases by 0.002%.」
“I have absorbed the spirit of ‘Partamram’, the god of division.”
「… … .」
There was not even a sign of revival.
“Achievement ‘Horror execution without blood or tears’ achieved.”
“Achievement ‘Horror execution without blood or tears’ achieved.”
“Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increased reward] is automatically activated when the conditions are met.”
“The reward level obtained from achievements increases from [B+ grade] to [A+ grade].”
“Skill ‘Public Execution (A+)’ is created.”
Neatly too.
“… … “It’s annoying.”
However, as if they had realized that a high-ranking god had been torn to death by the sheer physical power they possessed, there was only a heavy silence in the hall, with dissatisfaction and annoyance everywhere.
Drop, drop, drop-.
“I hope no one misunderstands the true meaning of what I said.”
In response, I brushed off the bright red blood on my right hand and continued speaking in an annoyed tone.
“I guess most of the people here don’t understand what I’m saying… … .”
It is similar to a hunter looking at prey caught in a trap, showing the confidence unique to a predator.
“What I just said to you wasn’t that I was specifically asking for your understanding, I was just unilaterally notifying you.”
and.
“Would you like me to interpret it for you?”
Next moment.
“Most of you.”
To that, I spoke comfortably, without even adding awkward politeness to the conversation.
“It seems like he knows he has a choice… … .”
From the beginning, they were not given a choice.
“Unless you follow my orders and risk your life to fight on the Western Front, no one will get out of here alive.”
If submitting to the strong was an ideology deeply embedded in the minds of the higher and formal gods, then the weak would have no rights whatsoever.
「… … .」
“Skill ‘Public Execution’ is strongly activated.”
“The skill ‘Public Execution’ spreads ‘hell energy’ within a 10 km radius, making it easier to create a ‘negative emotional state’.”
Choice and result are only one.
“The god of transcendence and death is satisfied to see the crowd trembling in fear.”
[You all were captured by me. ]
obviously.
