The Evil God Beyond the Smartphone

＜ 41 : Estasia (2) ＞

In life, sometimes difficult fortunes come and go.

Or find money that has been accidentally dropped on the road.

Winning an event you didn’t expect.

It’s like saying that a big action you’ve done unintentionally will come back with a big result.

For me, that was the scene unfolding before my eyes.

The screen of your smartphone with the game you were playing on.

An unexpected number of karma had been accumulated there.

“No, what is this?”

At the very least, in a day or two, the number of karma increased to 720.

Considering the recent progress of the denomination, it was by no means a shame that the offering resulted.

It seems that Roan was trying to expand the denomination, or it was because he went into a nearby city.

If so, it was better to view it as increased karma for some reason.

I moved my gaze to the bottom of the screen and checked the messages generated during the game break.

“What the hell happened?”

At the bottom of the screen, messages of completely unexpected contents floated up one after another.

Most of them were messages about karma creation.

Of course, there was very little content about the offerings carried out at the denomination level.

The main characters in the creation of new karma were the two creatures we created last time.

Abyss Beast Kueberg.

And Cherubim Estasia.

As the two creatures were active, a huge amount of karma was accumulated for me.

– [Deep Beast Beast: Kueberg] has harvested life.

– ＜Karma Scale＞ calculates the causal factor.

– Karma increased by 42.

– ＜Karma Scale＞ calculates the causal factor.

– Karma has been increased by 56.

Among the two creatures, the one that came to mind the most was Kueberg.

Is it because the aggression is set to 10?

Kueberg seemed to destroy everything while moving from the spawn point.

Considering the size of Kueberg, it was natural that damage would be done just by moving.

If they even attacked directly, it was understandable that many characters were swept away.

All of Kueberg’s activities were converted into a large amount of karma by ＜Balance of Karma＞.

Kueberg, who created it and didn’t even look at it, earns karma like this.

I focused on Kueberg, who worked hard on automatic hunting with a curious mind.

“Ah… I won’t be able to see you for a long time no matter what.”

Then he turned the screen in the other direction again.

It wasn’t something I wanted to see often.

If all of my characters were like that, I would have quit the game earlier and went to play another game.

To that extent, Kueberg’s appearance was far from my taste.

Averting my gaze from the hunting Queberg, I also looked at Estasia’s message.

“He’s the pet that asked me for bread… What the hell happened?”

Estasia was a creature with an appearance opposite to that of Kueberg.

It was because I was terrified of the birth of Kueberg and put all the options on the other side.

Is it because he is the opposite of Kueberg in all aspects from appearance to disposition?

Estasia and Kueberg showed a lot of different things.

– [Cherubim: Estasia] performed a miracle.

– ＜Karma Scale＞ calculates the causal factor.

– Karma has been increased by 5.

– The denomination’s membership has increased significantly.

– Some followers have acquired the ＜Cultist＞ trait.

– Karma has been increased by 7.

– [Cherubim: Estasia] performed a large-scale miracle.

– ＜Karma Scale＞ calculates the causal factor.

– Karma has been increased by 10.

– The denomination’s membership has increased significantly.

– Some followers have acquired the ＜Cultist＞ trait.

– Karma increased by 14.

Maybe it was because his aggression was only 1, but there was no message that he had harvested life.

Rather, most of Estasia’s messages were events that they saw for the first time.

The creation of karma by the manifestation of miracles.

Although he did not know exactly what the miracle meant, it was certain that Estasia had done something unusual.

In addition, the causality correction did not move much even though a large amount of karma was obtained.

It was clearly different from the karma acquisition pattern so far.

“What the hell are you doing?”

Faith increased and karma accumulation increased.

What do you have to do to get this result?

I was curious about Estasia’s whereabouts, so I focused the screen on Estasia.

A complex mountain range located somewhere on the map.

There, in front of a large crowd, Estasia was spreading her wings.

The figure of Estasia with her halo out and her wings wide open looked very divine.

Maybe that’s why, but it looked like a lot of characters around Estasia had their heads bowed to the ground.

“what’s this.”

Estasia is being supported and surrounded by a huge crowd.

If you look at the characters you see near her, some of them have fanatic traits.

Fanaticism is a characteristic that only occurs to some of the followers.

Most of the characters on the screen were my followers.

I was stunned at the sight of so many believers in a place where Roan was not present.

“Why are you guys there?”

Even though Roan did not propagate, a large number of followers were created.

In addition, the appearance of some believers was even more spectacle.

They continued to bring fruits and offer them in front of Estasia.

Of course, Estasia was putting the fruits she had received in her mouth.

Laughter leaked out of his mouth at the scene of the funeral that was taking place in front of his eyes.

– “Next time you should bring more strawberries.”

– “All right!”

It wasn’t the only absurd thing.

Estasia was ordering the next menu to the believers who brought fruit.

I’ve been thinking since the time I asked for bread, but that angel wasn’t an ordinary bet either.

It was clear that the structure of the AI was broken somewhere.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain the scene where the angels were exploiting other characters.

I couldn’t help but worry as I watched the angels at the top of the social structure.

“…is this going to be good?”

Still, karma came in, so maybe I picked a good creature.

With a slightly strange AI in front of me, my head quickly compromised with the situation.

Anyway, in terms of karma going up, Estasia was definitely a great creature.

For a creature who did a good job, stroking it and praising it would be the best reward.

I straightened my finger towards Estasia.

I was thinking of stroking the hair of Estasia, who had attracted followers.

– “…?”

However, my praise was not properly delivered to Estasia.

kuung.

A shield of light appeared above Estasia’s head along with a heavy crashing sound.

Estasia raised her head and looked up at the shield floating in the sky.

I also looked down at the shield that appeared on the screen and expressed my doubts.

My hand that was trying to stroke Estasia was blocked.

“What else is this?”

I couldn’t help but admire the hand blocked by the shield once again.

It was a great pet in many ways.

Crossbridge, Temple of Abundance.

There, Saint Serena, who was praying to the sky, opened her eyes.

When Serena opened her eyes after praying, a ring of light was glimmering in her eyes.

Serena looked at her hand and the statue alternately for a moment, then sighed and got up from her seat.

When Serena finished praying, the bodyguard Rian, who was waiting nearby, approached her.

“Are you okay, saint?”

“Of course, Rihanna.”

“Your complexion looks dark.”

“It’s probably because a lot of troublesome things happen all at once.”

After speaking, Serena recalled the contents of the oracle she had just heard.

Even though the hero had already appeared, she did not come to the temple, and the goddess she worshiped gave the temple a greater ordeal.

The families of the terrifying evil spirits that began to appear simultaneously.

Members of the Evil Deity Church who move to devour the Empire.

Either way, it was a story that should not be left unattended.

With Serena’s face darkened with many worries, Rihanna, who was by her side, asked Serena.

“Have you ever received a trust?”

“Yeah. I got an oracle.”

“What kind of oracle is it?”

“This time, there are a lot of content. The first thing I received was a story about a hero chosen by the goddess.”

The whereabouts of the hero of abundance.

Rian’s face hardened upon hearing Serena’s story.

Even though all of the hero’s marks had already appeared, nearly half of the heroes did not come to the temple.

If the hero who received the mark died, another hero would be born immediately, but otherwise, it was highly likely that the situation would be even more troublesome.

The training and subjugation schedule itself to nurture heroes will be twisted.

In order to prevent him, it was necessary for the heroes to come to the temple.

“You mean the hero of abundance?”

“yes.”

“Did you find out about him?”

“That person’s name is Guilford Floud. It seems that he is the captain of the Guilford mercenary corps.”

“Gilford Floud. That’s the name.”

“Besides, it looked like he had the divine Ascalon.”

Serena remembered the face of Guilford who was running around hiding the marker, and gave a troubled expression.

We’ll have to investigate the details to find out, but from Guilford’s conduct, he didn’t seem like a bad person.

I didn’t really want to dispose of him unless there was a problem.

Moreover, even Ascalon, the divine god, was taken over from the goddess of fertility.

Ascalon was a god called the strongest among all the gods of the six temples.

If such Ascalon belonged to Guilford, the means to change the hero as a temple of fertility would disappear completely.

Upon hearing the news that Guilford had a new weapon, Rihanna again confirmed the truth to Serena.

“You mean he has Ascalon?”

“It’s a really difficult situation.”

Serena said while looking at the white holy sword hanging from Rian’s waist.

Ascalon was an object that could not be compared with the imitation of Rihanna’s divine god.

Just holding it in your hand will make your body stronger, and the moment all seals are released, you can injure even the gods.

It was the most ridiculous thing among the heavenly treasures allowed by humans.

The goddess they worship entrusted even the blade that could be aimed at them to humans.

If such Ascalon loses its owner and is sealed, there will be significant restrictions on the options available in the Holy Land.

“If he really has Ascalon, he must somehow bring it to the Holy Land!”

“Rian. Calm down. There’s a lot more to do than that.”

“Ha… Did you say Guilford? We will instruct the Holy Knights to investigate him separately.”

“Yeah. I’ll leave that part to Rian.”

The story of the hero Guilford was a story that could never be left alone for the whole of the Holy Land.

Serena nodded at Rian’s talk about giving orders to the Holy Knights.

After Guilford’s story was over, it was time to bring up the story of another oracle.

Rian, who has not yet given up his impatient expression, asked Serena the details of the next oracle.

“You said that there is a next oracle, but what else has come down?”

“This time, it’s about the family of evil spirits.”

“The family of evil spirits…? Did evil monsters rise from the abyss?”

“Yes. One is a monster called Queberg, who calls himself the lord of the abyss.”

“Cuebergra. He must be a strong guy.”

The lord of the abyss, Kueberg.

It was a monster that looked powerful just by hearing its name.

As he belongs to the family of evil spirits, he must have powerful abilities.

If such a monster ran wild, it was clear that great damage would occur.

It was necessary to subdue them as soon as possible before serious damage occurred.

“I’m trying to subdue Kueberg by forming a subjugation squad in the Empire… but I don’t know how it will turn out.”

“Are you going to leave Kueberg to the Empire?”

“Yeah. I’ll have to do that first.”

If the Empire had set out to subdue Kueberg, there was nothing to worry about right away.

Of course, if it fails, it will be a big problem for the Holy Land.

It was an urgent priority to take care of the other one that has now been neglected.

After completing the explanation of Kueberg, Serena moved on to the next chapter.

The next oracle we will talk about was about an angel who appeared on the other side of Kueberg.

“And the other is a fallen angel named Estasia…”

“A fallen angel. It must be a difficult opponent.”

“He’s a little weird.”

“Yes……?”

“It’s fallen, but it’s not a fallen angel.”

After hearing Serena’s story, Rihanna put on an expression that she couldn’t understand.

The moment the angels are stained with malice, their halo and wings lose their light and become fallen angels.

So Serena’s story was extremely contradictory.

How could such a state exist?

Of course, what he couldn’t understand was the same with Serena who spoke out.

“I don’t even know what I’m talking about.”

I betrayed you, but you are a good angel.

Serena could not understand why the good angel betrayed her.
