chapter 33
Episode 33-Bet (4)
A tremendous amount of divine power was consumed with just one word.
While giving great influence to countless villages and people, he was stingy with miracles and did not give much power to Lempria.
She changed her strategy because she didn’t think she would be able to speak properly even for a minute at this rate.
[Am I an evil god?]
Lemfra’s voice changed.
If science develops and it is confirmed with a precision device, it will be measured as the same sound, but when a person with personality heard it, the current sound and the previous sound were clearly different.
If the voice had a lot of dignity earlier, Lemfra’s words now had the power to bring fear to himself without even realizing it.
[Really, that’s funny. How can you call the person who created you an evil god? You are just one of the many fragments I created.]
Astia could not refute.
Since she had already exhausted all of her divine powers, she was able to communicate directly to Lemfra, but was unable to communicate her own voice to humans.
[Did you say Dana was corrupted? The earth’s intellect is declining?]
It was an unfounded statement.
I made it up because I didn’t have anything to say right away, but whether it was last year or today, the condition of the land was just being maintained normally.
[Plant beans in the ground to check. It will probably sprout within a week. As you said, if Dana is corrupted and the power of the fallen god is strong and her intellect is weakened, isn’t it normal for the bean to grow slowly?]
If you plant beans in the ground, they will grow in a week.
Because the land hasn’t changed at all.
Gods are tricksters.
Lempra and Astia also said everything on lies.
The reason the land does not change is not because Dana is not corrupted.
It does not change because there is no factor for the land to change.
However, as the true creator of this world said, faith is power.
If many people believe that way, then Dana can truly become the god of the fertility of the land.
Lempra didn’t speak anymore.
What he is writing now is the story of the myth of Dana.
A myth created overnight does not exist.
It was important not to be impatient and to get humans to believe in myths.
All humans in the archipelago could hear Lemfra’s words.
People in the city listened to Lemfra and planted beans.
Since the soybeans grown in this area are very resilient, it did not take that long for the soybeans to germinate properly in good soil.
People now believe.
Astia is a liar and Dana is the god of the earth and the true god who made them rich.
The myth of the Star Goddess was rapidly crumbling.
No one really believed in Astia.
Even among the followers who served Astia, there was a deserter.
Her Now Her All she has left is those who blindly believe in her, regardless of which god she is.
‘If this continues, there will be no one left who believes in me.’
I had to do something.
Those who believe in Astia will be persecuted, and if persecuted for a long time, her faith in herself will gradually disappear.
What will happen to a god that no human can remember?
In this world where faith is power, does not being remembered mean that you will die soon?
Her fear that she might die made Astia impatient.
‘It doesn’t matter if I’m not the supreme god.’
No, it was fine even if he wasn’t a god.
I wanted to live somehow.

“Thank you, Lempria-sama. Thanks to you, I was able to clear Dana-sama’s name and put her where she should be.”
In the system where all those who followed Astia were expelled, Dana’s apostle Airen bowed her head to Lempria and said.
There was a major incident in which the main god who ruled the empire was completely changed by Lemfra, but there was no major change in the system.
The reason for this was that there weren’t many myths linking one’s god with Astia because the history of myths was relatively short.
Even if the highest god changes, the god he worships hasn’t changed.
There is Astia, the god of stars, in the seat of the supreme god, and Lemfra, the god of creation.
Although the reign of Lemfra, who acknowledges that all gods are the creator gods, could have evoked stronger faith, but for them, who have lived as polytheistic religions for quite some time, it was not a big deal for them to change their upper heads.
There were a few people who believed that a great disaster would come because the god of the stars had fallen to the ground, but since Lemfra was claiming to be a very powerful god, there were not that many people who believed that way.
“I and Lemfra applied, but this is like Lemfra’s bean.”
“Lemfra’s beans?”
The imp who was quietly listening to the story asked from behind.
“People here use the word Lemfra’s bean to mean something natural? They must be using that word to mean something so natural that if you plant beans, they will sprout.”
“You seem to be more religious than our village?”
The imp said with a playful laugh.
“Are you going back now?”
“Oh, I’m going back now. I’ve accomplished all of my original goals.”
Not everyone blindly believed in Lemfra, but everyone knew that Lemfra was the supreme god.
Since there were some followers of Lemfra that Imp and Alfrea had worked hard to convert, and Dana, who had risen to the throne of the empire, became the one who lived with Lemfra, it was only a matter of time before Lemfra’s influence engulfed the entire empire. Was
“When are you coming back?”
“I don’t know about that. There’s a huge gorge between here and our village, so I can cross it alone, but bringing someone else is a bit too much.”
“Okay. Go inside carefully.”
Airen knelt on her floor and slammed her head in front of Lempria.
As Airen, who would now ascend to the throne of the Empire, showed complete obedience, everyone in the city showed their obedience to Lempria.
The entire empire showed signs of submission to Lempria, but it was unknown whether they would continue to obey even after time passed.
Because of its geography, it won’t be easy for Lempria to influence the empire.
Perhaps in the distant future, an empire that grew from a huge wheat producing area might attack Lemfra Village.
But that was the work of humans.
To be precise, it was something that happened between humans who believed in Lemfra.
Lempra is no longer tied to one Lemfra village.
Even if a war breaks out between them, the winner will continue to trust Lemfra anyway.
‘If I go to a real war, I won’t stop it.’
If you have the strength to fight with each other, it’s much better to send them to do missionary work.
With Lempria leaving the empire behind, Lempra looked at a woman lying face down in front of her.
Taking a more humiliating posture than Airen took, she had been lying on her stomach like that since 8 hours ago, waiting for Lemfra to talk to her.
“Why did you come to me?”
“I don’t want to die.”
Astia did not turn around. She
She From the beginning, she made it clear what she wanted and her purpose.
I want to live.
I don’t want to disappear.
That desire was fiercely visible in her eyes.
‘She has a very strong will.’
She
When I first saw her, I thought she was a woman full of bravado, but she seemed to have the sense and execution power enough to rise to the position of the supreme god.
“In order for us not to die, someone has to keep remembering your name. You know that?”
“You can be called anything. It doesn’t have to be God. Even the devil is fine.”
Seeing her ferocious eyes, I remembered a story about a monster I heard on Earth called Lemp.
“From now on, you will be called by people as a monster that is half a snake and half a woman.”
“I’ve had enough of that.”
Astia’s expression was calm.
She seemed to have other plans, but whatever she was up to, her Lempra was sure to subdue her.
“You may or may not be able to remember that you were Astia, the god of stars in the past. That can only be known after decades or thousands of years at the shortest.”
“If I had a choice, she’d be the unfortunate woman who went from god to monster.”
“Myth is not something you can control.”
The protagonists of myths were gods, but it is humans who create myths.
“But I can control my followers.”
Astia stood up and looked up at Lemfra.
“Thank you for saving me.”
She was the last to say that as she swiped past Lemfra.
Lempra was curious.
Can a god who has reached the level of a monster emerging from the mountain reveal himself in the present world?
Decades later, Astia will be able to answer her curiosity.
