ALL NOVEL chapter 164
164. Crow Hunt (2)
Kiriev, the demigod of the Join tribe, opened his mouth wide. It was like a bird’s beak had opened wide. He was at a loss for words at the words of the god of war before him.
“…You want to kill God?”
“okay.”
“But, why were you looking for me, huh?”
Kirev felt a cold sweat running down his face.
“The saint of the sect established by the evil spirit said that she would somehow instill the evil spirit into her body. When she succeeds in doing so, the soul of the evil spirit residing in the saint’s body must be completely pulled out.”
The descent of the gods.
The act of a god descending into a human body.
But there is no way that God would use all of his soul power for something like that.
I will only use the amount of soul power that can fully operate the human body and does not cause any harm to the main body.
“I just need to be able to pull out his complete soul.”
Yuma thought about his own abilities.
The power as the sole main god of Middle-earth that prevented the gods who invaded Middle-earth from returning at will.
It was impossible to stop the gods from descending from the upper dimension of the divine realm to the middle world, but it was possible to block the gate that led back to the divine realm.
Yuma even explained that ability.
Kirev and Seiabern were astonished at Yuma’s explanation that he could even block the movements of a god from the divine realm.
“Wow, you can control the entry and exit of the gods… That’s really amazing.”
The scene where the white-furred and yellow-beaked zodiacs exclaim in admiration and then slowly calm down again was quite exciting.
Kiriev calmed down and thought deeply.
“If you want to make him come down with soul power that is greater than the summoning of a spirit… you have to throw him bait. Even if he doesn’t come down himself, you have to use bait that will bring his soul power down to its limit.”
Yuma nodded slowly.
Because it was something I had also been thinking about.
“But this part doesn’t seem like something I can solve with magic. Isn’t it something that the saint of the ＜Figero＞ sect needs to talk to the evil god Malphas?”
That’s right. Yuma also agreed. This was a situation where a script of sorts had to be created. A script that was tempting enough to make the evil god Malphas use his soul power beyond his limit.
“That’s right. After the second saint’s younger brother, Garon, conveyed my intentions to the saint, I decided to come back. That’s something we can discuss then.”
“Then why are you curious about me?”
Yuma decided to slowly get to the main point.
“The biggest variable is the status that he has as a ＜Eight Evil God＞ who has transcended the hierarchy. His status is far superior to my imagination, and even if he has performed a shamanism that has surpassed the limits of his soul power, he can still fully return the soul to the divine realm.”
Kirev and Seiabern nodded slowly.
Because it was a very possible statement. No matter how much we talked about the power Malphas possessed, it was ultimately nothing more than an empty theory.
Because I don’t know much about the powers that Malphas possesses.
‘If he is a cowardly person, there is a high probability that he has already established a method or ability to return even after being possessed by the saint with his soul power exceeding its limit.’
Yuma came up with the method that would most likely increase his chances of success.
“Malphas. Create a spell that will drag his true body down to this Middle-Earth. Or, devise a method.”
If Malphas’s main body, the flesh, were placed on the surface of Middle-earth, it would not be able to escape Middle-earth, no matter how freely it could move its soul.
“…Are you asking me to create that? A magic that can bring down the true nature of God?”
Yuma nodded.
“okay.”
Well, it seemed that there was no one else who could create such magic other than Kiriev, the demigod of the Zun tribe right before our eyes.
“You have become my apostle. I believe you will be able to get enough results.”
Kirchhoff did not outright deny that.
The magical knowledge Kiriev gained from becoming an apostle of the god Yuma was vast. In particular, his insight was seen to have greatly increased.
Although it had only been three months since he became an apostle, he could personally feel the significant difference from before he became an apostle. The increase in abilities felt by Seiabern and Lycanthrope Kesilvia, who had become apostles at the same time, was beyond their imagination.
“It’s true that I became an apostle. But I still need a medium. I need to get a feel for what kind of magic to create.”
“If it’s a medium?”
“The principle of capturing the body of a god… If we know that principle, wouldn’t we be able to drag the body of the evil god down to this middle world?”
The ‘medium’ that the Join tribe wizard Kirev wanted seemed to be talking about items related to the gods.
“Is there something that can bind the body of a god?”
Kiryev tilted his head at Yuma’s question.
“No, that in itself is something I, a mere demigod, would not dare to anticipate. If there is such a thing… it would have to be possessed by a god. Like you.”
Yuma shook his head internally. He didn’t have any items related to mediation. It was only natural that Yuma didn’t know about such things since he was a new god who had only been a god for two years.
‘I have a feeling I’ll have to find out where to look.’
Just one.
I thought of someone I could have a conversation with.
Within the ＜Messenger＞ system located under the ＜Navigation Window＞, which allowed one to see the overall map of Middle-earth and the presence of gods, there was only one god.
It was Rhea, the ＜goddess of the earth and eternity＞.
Before that, the outside world had been watching Yuma in the Middle-earth, but after Yuma had fully emerged as a god, the gods were no longer able to watch Yuma’s every move as he had been cast down throughout the Middle-earth.
Bam.
Yuma clicked on the system window floating in the air.
Leah pressed the name of the god with her index finger.
[Sending a message to Rhea, Goddess of the Earth and Eternity.]
From now on, whatever Yuma says out loud will echo in Leah’s head.
“Leah, I have something to tell you. Listen.”
As soon as Yuma finished speaking, Leah immediately reacted. Leah’s voice echoed in Yuma’s head.
[Yes, I understand.]
It’s been almost a year since Yuma and Leah have been in contact like this through messenger. Leah, as a new person, has already had many experiences with this type of contact, but Yuma hasn’t quite gotten used to it yet.
Of course, when communicating with Leia, I made sure not to reveal that.
“You have the opportunity to kill the evil god Malphas. This is the chance to reduce the number of evil gods you have been hoping for.”
Yuma told Leah what Garon, the younger brother of the Second Saintess, had said and what he had just discussed with Kirjev.
[…You are planning something that will not be easy.]
“Isn’t this what you were hoping for?”
Leah seemed to think for a moment, then continued speaking.
[Please wait for about a week. When that thing has drawn most of its soul power to the Middle-earth and infused it into the saint’s body… I don’t know if it will be able to forcibly pull Malphas’ physical body down, but it will help.]
Yuma nodded slowly.
“Don’t expect it.”
[Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.]
Yuma had no intention of criticizing the foreign gods of the divine realm, who could be considered his allies, at this point.
“Malpas catches.”
Yuma continued speaking.
“When the number of the remaining Eight Evil Gods is reduced from five to four, then properly open the gates of the divine realm.”
Leah couldn’t express her regrets despite Yuma’s cold tone. The current foreign press world was in a position where they were receiving thorough help from Yuma.
[all right.]
The week passed quickly.
A red dot flashed next to the messenger interface.
It was a message from Leah, the only god recorded in the messenger.
[Something will fall from the sky soon. Catch it.]
Hold on tight.
Yuma sat up with a snicker.
It was exactly as Leah said.
Suddenly, a light flashed in the air and something fell.
widely!
Yuma caught it before it crashed to the ground.
＜Exploration Plan＞
Yuma’s searchlight, shining with pure white light, stared straight at a black bead emitting an ominous aura.
[???]
: A hastily made item.
: Temporarily prohibits the use of the physical body connected to the target’s soul.
: Maximum target – God
: Caution – In order for the item to have an effect, you need divine power of the main god of the divine realm.
Yuma seemed to know what structure this item was made to be used for.
‘Rather than dragging the physical body in the divine realm down to the middle world, it was created by completely blocking the passageway to return to the physical body for a short while.’
Yuma tapped the desk with his index finger.
Now all that remained was to have Malpas descend completely into the body of Saint Julian of Figueiro.
Three days later, the second saint’s younger brother, Garon, came again.
Garon looked at Yuma and said.
“The Saint wants a story that will allow her to infuse Malphas into her body.”
Yuma said what he had somewhat organized in his head.
“I’ll have to make him nervous. If I tell him that I’ve tracked the Pigero Sect down to its chin, he’ll be nervous.”
The problem was that just making them nervous didn’t work.
“If you want to make the saint do a séance on the grounds that he can return to his original form at any time, you’ll need a sweet bait.”
A god who continues to push himself psychologically will not look good.
If you expose an obvious ‘weakness’, they will definitely try to grab it. If you are in Malpas’ position.
“If one of my close associates is said to have been seduced by the Figueros cult, it will be quite tempting for him.”
