I Am an Evil God

Episode 31-Bet (2)

There was something awkward about the mythology of the Southern Empire.

The biggest reason the Southern Empire prospered greatly and was able to harmonize with each other was thanks to the vast amount of wheat produced in the rich land.

According to a common myth, if the land is good, you will give thanks to the earth god.

But the southern empire did not.

Why?

This is because the goddess of the stars kept the earth god in check because she did not want to be pushed out of her position as the main god.

Because of that, things that are nonsensical in common myths have happened.

The god of the stars is raising the power of the earth, but the god of the earth is jealous of it and is bringing down the power of the earth?

It wasn’t nonsense, but it was a fit, and it wasn’t a myth that made intuitive sense.

This ridiculous myth was created because of the greed of the star god who wanted to attribute the high intellect that solidified the southern empire to himself.

‘I have to correct the wrong things.’

When Lempra was in the capital of the empire, he heard the people around him and heard about the humiliation suffered by the earth god.

At that moment, he came up with a good idea to overthrow the entire empire and headed south with his apostles.

“Are you really saying that you’re making me the ruler of the empire?”

“Yes, if you follow me, I will make you a god next to me in the empire.”

Dana, the god of the earth, could not refuse Lemfra’s offer.

If he continued like this, he was on the verge of losing all of his supporters, and he felt that he could not survive without relying on him, even if it was an outside force.

Besides, Astia was a bad b*tch who snatched things she had to return with her own balls, so even if she approached her with the mind of getting her revenge, she had enough reasons to follow Lemfra.

Dana, the god of the earth, changed her name to the god of the earth when she went under Lemfra.

It doesn’t mean much, but the name was changed as a proof that the empire’s mythology, which had been centered around Astia, had shifted to the Lemfra myth, which revolved around the absolute god Lemfra.

When Dana came under her Lemfra, her Lemfra endowed her with a large amount of divine power.

Handing over the divine power to others was a thing with extreme efficiency, but it was necessary to invest this much divine power in order to make her apostle useful right away.

At the same time, he informed Feint of the existence of Dana, the goddess of the earth.

As the presence of a god who enriches her land and brings forth many harvests was gradually known to the entire North through Feint, her divine power began to accumulate in her as well.

It’s not as much as those who live with her Earth Goddess, but her divine power has accumulated little by little to the point of thinking of her while doing her farming.

“Whoa… Whoa…”

Dayna’s disciple Airen collapsed beside her with her exhausted expression on her face.

Green sprouts were sprouting where she was, and it was truly beautiful to see sprouts sprouting only around her.

“Enough!”

“Are you done now?”

As her Airen spoke in her excited voice, her Lempria stopped brandishing her spear and came towards her.

“You grew up well. This is enough to prove Dana-sama’s power.”

“That’s right! I’ll show the humans who ignored our goddess until now.”

As Airen clasped her hands tightly, Lem Pria smiled and stroked her hair.

“Your job isn’t to show your enemies what you saw. We’re in a situation where we shouldn’t use violence? What you’re going to do is explain how great a goddess Dana is and how much the empire is benefiting from her. Okay, okay?”

“Yes! Got it! I’ll show Astia, the goddess of the stars who suppressed our goddess!”

“Yes, even if you can’t beat a human, you can beat a god.”

Faith begins with a story.

A well-crafted story resonates strongly with those who did not originally believe in the god.

That’s why Lemfra and Dana thought about the day and created their own story.

In their mythology, Dana and Astia were sisters born together from one fragment.

One ascended to the sky and became the god of the stars, and one descended to the earth and became the god of the earth. Her older sister’s side, Dana’s power, was stronger and enriched the lands of the empire.

Worried that her own power would become too strong and her Astia’s power would weaken, Dayi turned some of her own balls to Astia.

She said that in reality she raised her intellect with her own power, but she also had some help from the power of the stars, she told the other gods.

At this point, the tragedy began.

Arrogant Astia took advantage of her own sister’s favor with her.

She claimed that the fertile lands of her empire were made entirely by her own power, and her own sister, the goddess of the land, said that she could not do anything, but rather she was herself. Claimed to be in the way.

Because Astia had a very strong village, she was able to grow her power and she spread false information to all gods and all humans.

Daya, who had her kind and upright heart, believed that her own brother would someday repent of her sins, but Astia never let go of her misunderstanding hanging over her daya.

As time passed, Dana reached the point where she was not properly treated by all gods and humans, including Astia, even though she alone created the richness of the empire.

Taking pity on her like that, her creator god, Lemfra, stretched out her hand to her and gave her her new post.

That was the background of the birth of Dana, the goddess of the earth.

It’s a story that seems a bit implausible if you listen closely, but if you assume that Dana has a very nice and stupid personality, it’s also not impossible for her to happen.

Looking at the probability, the story that the god of the stars was in charge of the earth’s intellect made more sense.

Lempria’s party and Dana’s apostle Airen’s job was to spread the myth that Lemfra told them.

Airen was full of willpower that her goddess, who had been framed by her for a long time, would finally see the light. As such, I will do my best to spread her myth.

Then how can we get people to believe in this myth?

As in the early Lemfra myth, the most important condition in people’s beliefs was sight.

There was no better way than to see with your own eyes how great things the being could do.

“You mean this is Dana’s real power?”

They visited her in turn, starting with the nearest village, spreading her Dana power.

The apostles of other gods can only strengthen her body by a certain amount, but Airen is growing a small sprout, so her ripple effect was great.

If it were those who believed that her own god was the best in the first place, the ripple effect might have been a little weak, but those who knew that her Astia was already above her own god, her Dana was her own He quickly admitted that he was a god more powerful than God.

It wasn’t just humans who recognized Dana.

“Please make me Dana’s subordinate.”

Some quick-witted gods came under Dana first.

It wasn’t because Dana had that much power, but because she could feel the strength of Lemfra behind her.

In terms of the population purely knowing the name of God, Astia was much larger, but Lemfra’s myth was much more reliable.

If you think about which one of the gods of Christianity and Zeus in Greek mythology or the God of Christianity is more strongly believed, it is easy to see how much help a single god reigns alone in the highest place will help that god’s strength.

Even if they were gods, it was not that difficult for the people from Earth, who had already bowed to Astia, to kneel to Dana, who was supported by Lemfra.

That’s how Dana’s myth began to spread.

She only talked about Dana while wandering around the outskirts of the empire, but rumors spread through people and eventually reached the point where the story was carried to the city, the center of the archipelago.

“I’m Dana’s sister?”

‘I was worried about what I was going to do, but I can’t believe you’re spreading ridiculous rumors.’

Do you think humans are fools?

You can’t believe that God is the younger sister or older sister of another god.

When Astia had the idea that she was more insignificant than she thought, she heard the sound of prayer in her ears.

“God, why did you take away Dana’s work?”

Hearing the prayers of the devotees asking not only if Dana’s brother was right, but from why her achievements were taken away, she realized that something was firmly wrong with her.
