I Am an Evil God

Episode 26-Horror

Lempra governed the area she ruled very moderately.

The crime committed against Lemfra was not to be repaid as a ‘punishment’.

To be precise, he was not punished during his lifetime.

He only knows that he will be punished according to the crime committed after death, but the penalty inflicted while he is alive is not that great.

Since Shinhwa had such faith, he was able to rule more moderately.

Because he was able to repent of his sins while obeying Lemfra.

I made you believe that no matter how bad a person is, if he obeys Lemfra for a long time, he will have a better afterlife.

Lempria thoroughly exploited this myth.

He gathered those who rebelled against Lemfra and emphasized that if they continue to obey Lemfra, they can go to a good place.

Lempra was not alone.

He told the numerous gods, now degenerated into spirits, what the meaning of the afterlife in the Lemfra myth was, and told them to pass it on to the followers.

It is said that not only others but also those they serve can erase their sins if they obey Lemfra, so the image of Lemfra, who had an image of evil until now, rose quickly.

In this situation, Lempria performed a trick, and returned to his own village without leaving a single person in the village he had conquered.

All the northerners who didn’t belong to Lemfra thought it was stupid, but contrary to their expectations, not a single village tried to escape from Lemfra.

They spent a very peaceful time accepting Lemfra appropriately from the original mythology.

Thanks to this, a good impression of Lemfra began to spread to the villages further north of their village, still under Gad’s influence, and even if it did not change the whole village in Lemfra’s favor, some of them began to accept Lemfra. It was enough to make me believe in my heart.

People who believed in Lemfra secretly gathered in a village that worshiped Gat, talked about Lemfra, and began to secretly engage in activities with those who had the same will as them.

They called themselves evangelists and took pride in telling the myth of Lemfra to those who believed in Gad, a weak god, and regarded a non-evil god as an evil god.

The evangelists, who were born in the outskirts where Gad had little influence, slowly grew in power.

Little by little, but steadily.

Until they can exert a proper influence.

“I heard that faith is power, but I wonder if that is limited to good faith.”

“That’s right.”

Through this war, Lemp was able to obtain a different power than the divine power.

It was a power that came from the northerners’ overwhelming fear of him and the belief that he was an evil god. Although it felt quite different from divine power, it seemed to be a power that could be used well enough.

[Lempria, can you hear me?]

‘Yes, I can hear you. You are my god.’

[I will give you a power, so use that power to build a road connecting my village to the North.]

‘I will. Father.’

Lempra sent all the Magi obtained in the North to Lempria.

Compared to her divine power, powerful demons gathered to her that were indistinguishable from her level.

“Whoa… Whoa…”

Lempria’s heart started beating fast.

I felt as if my whole body would explode at any moment, as if a powerful force was emanating from my heart.

“Suna, what’s wrong all of a sudden?”

“Call the people together. Now.”

Lempria said, barely suppressing the overflowing demonic energy from her body.

As the intense magi dwells on her body, she begins to dye her eyes red and her hair pitch-black.

Seeing the unusual appearance of her own sister, the imp immediately ran to the village and gathered her people.

“Look carefully, everyone. I will use the power I received from Lemfra to build a road connecting our village to the North.”

She put her demonic energy seething from her body into her right fist.

It was not easy to control because it was such a powerful mage, but it was not impossible to control the demon because he had the basic skills he had cultivated as an apostle of Lemfra.

“Look, this is Lemfra’s power.”

– BANG!!!

As she punched her, a huge hole was ripped through her forest.

The densely grown trees have completely disappeared.

If only one or two trees were removed like that, she would have felt awe.

Even if the villagers looked the farthest they could see, the tree was nowhere to be seen.

“Whoa… Whoa…”

Lempria knew instinctively.

The crazy aftermath of her own fist reached the North.

She says that because of her power given to her by Lem Fra, she has pierced the road from her own village to the North.

Once she unleashed her power, an unbearable helplessness covered her entire body.

Until just now, the power that seemed to be able to rule the world was overflowing in her body, but that power disappeared in an instant.

Although there were very few traces of the power that dwelled in her body, she was no longer strong enough to cut through the straight path in the forest.

“Sister!”

Imp built Lempria, which collapsed.

“Hee hee hee!”

Lempria started laughing like crazy.

Seeing her sister begin to laugh with no strength in her body, the imp looked at her in bewilderment, but she continued to laugh without paying attention to her imp’s gaze.

“Now I think I know what kind of power Lemfra has.”

The power of Lemfra she knew so far was just the tip of the iceberg.

A person who can give humans the power to penetrate the forest.

That was Lemfra, the god he believed in.

“What are you doing? I have to go up to the north quickly and tell them that I did this. Go and tell them about the miracle that destroyed a half-day’s walk in a single blow.”

At her words, those who were watching the miracle from behind quickly started running forward.

It took less than two days for the story of the Apostle of God, who punched through the forest, to spread all the way to the north.

***

The apostle of the evil god Lem Phra pierced the forest with one punch.

It was a rumor that was spreading in the northern villages recently.

It was a rumor that started when some humans who actually saw the forest blown away told others about it, but since so many people said the same thing, it was almost accepted as true.

“The power of the evil spirits spreads without knowing that they are high in the sky…”

“It’s an evil god that our god can’t catch. Surely it’s strong, but going through the forest is nothing to worry about.”

Fear of the evil god Lemfra has begun to spread in the north.

The power of the evil spirit was so great that the fear of being killed by the evil spirit aroused fear in them.

Evil spirits will kill us.

An evil spirit is threatening Gad.

There are various conditions required for the faith to attend the one you believe in.

The god had to have the ability to believe in himself and he had to have something to give to him.

But fear had no conditions.

Even if you believe in Gad, it doesn’t mean you can’t feel fear, right?

Their fear came back to Lempra as a demon, and Lempra was able to restore more than half of the demon energy consumed while penetrating the forest.

Lemp sincerely thought that maybe the evil god concept would be more helpful than the creator god concept.

****

“You bastard.”

Gad suppressed his anger and sighed.

Evil God Lemfra.

Everywhere in the land he ruled was full of stories about the evil god Lemfra.

He succeeded in unifying the lands under his control through the fear of the evil god Lemfra, but in return fear of the evil god spread throughout all the lands he ruled over.

People thought of Lemfra, the evil god, when they did anything, and they reached a point where they thought of Lemfra longer than they did themselves.

However, their fears could not be easily resolved.

Their fear stemmed from a stronger evil god.

Some people are even starting to believe in evil gods, claiming that they are not really that evil, and this has been quite a headache.

‘I can’t stay like this.’

No matter how evil they may be, after the performance of blowing up the forest, they were not doing their proper activities as if they had lost a lot of energy.

Now was the opportunity.

Faith is power.

If you develop more faith in yourself than Lemfra’s fear, you will be able to defeat Lemfra.

[Yahweh, make a statue of me.]

A statue in the form of a god.

That was a trick Gad came up with to solve the situation.
