I Am an Evil God

Episode 32-Betting (3)

Gods don’t lie.

It was one of the contents that everyone unconsciously regards as a truth.

Gods are absolute and have very strong power, but at the same time, they are beings that take care of themselves.

We had to admit that the belief that such a god would not lie to humans is a belief that must exist before examining the rationality of the belief itself.

Everything God says is true.

If they lie, it’s all for the sake of humans.

Lemp, who was in the position of using humans for his own sake rather than being good, was able to evade that belief to some extent, but the gods of the Southern Empire couldn’t.

Therefore, when Dana made up her mind and began to go around deceiving people, her suspicions about Astia, who gave her the gift, grew exponentially.

‘It’s actually a battle of liars.’

Nothing is true.

It wasn’t that Astia raised the land’s intelligence, nor that Dana enriched the land.

They only weave the once prosperous land into their own mythology, but they did nothing to benefit the land.

From noble mtl dot com

“Really… Do you believe it?”

It was non-intuitive that the god of the stars would increase the intellect of the earth.

It was intuitive that the earth god would enrich the land.

It was just that much of a difference.

The reason people abandoned Astia and started to believe in Dana’s words was because of a single intuition.

Of course, Dana’s apostles and Lempria’s party wandered around and performed miracles, but the reason many ordinary people who witnessed the miracles spread the myths they saw and heard was purely because of their intuition.

As I said before, it was close to the obvious truth that gods do not tell lies to humans.

Then, how will the followers react to the god who broke the truth?

“Astia who took advantage of her own sister and deceived the other gods is unbelievable!”

“Go away! Go away!”

Protests broke out in the capital of the empire.

The place where the foundation was first set was a village directly managed by the god of stars, but as many villagers moved to the city, there were not many who fully worshiped Astia.

Rather, the other commoners who settled in the capital of the empire discriminated against those who came from outside and showed territorial attitude, so they were dissatisfied with Astia’s followers, if not with Astia.

‘In the midst of that, he heard that Shin himself stole his sister’s performance, so of course he has no choice but to explode.’

Humans believe only what they want to believe.

The fact that the situation has reached this point is proof that Astia was negligent in managing her myth.

To be precise, the problem is that he emphasized the value of polytheism rather than promoting his own mythology, and he failed to elevate himself to a place that no one could touch.

“Let’s follow Lempra!”

Someone shouted in a corner of the capital.

“Lemfra? Who is that?”

Dana was actively used to spread other myths to the empire.

She was betrayed by her brother.

Losing faith even in humans for a long time.

Lempra, the true creator of this world, reached out to the fallen Dana like that.

This was the storyline that Lemfra came up with.

In order to overthrow the empire right away, Dana had to be made her chieftain.

Because Lemp was a god with no miracles or myths here.

However, since Dana could not be established as the main god forever, she slowly spread her own myth.

Since Dana and all the gods who obeyed her follow her, it won’t take long for her name to be established in the empire.

“Everyone calm down! All Dana’s words are lies! This land is the land that our Lord Astia cultivated!”

The emperor of the empire came out of the palace and said.

“How could a star god enrich the land!”

“Our god said that Astia is an evil god who does lies!”

At the words of the emperor, countless people gathered in the plaza protested and stood up.

Half of the gods had already come under Lemfra, and the other half were paying attention, so no one protested for Astia.

“Show proof! Dana’s apostle can make grass grow on the ground. If you’re Astia-sama’s apostle who enriched this land, surely you can make grass grow!”

“That’s…”

The emperor did not have that ability.

As he is an apostle of the main god who controls the empire, he has strong physical abilities and the ability to manipulate the stars, but he has no ability to grow anything from the ground.

Faith is where power is.

This word meant that the stronger the faith, the stronger the power, but it also meant that if the faith was limited to one field, other things could not be done.

“Go away! Go away!”

– Kkaduk!

Astia gnashed her teeth.

As usual, she was frightened by her complaints and shuddered, and her subordinate gods glanced at her.

‘Where did it go wrong?’

She did nothing wrong herself.

From a very early age, they established an identity for God and intervened in the village.

He announced to the villagers that they could have everything if they followed him in order to draw absolute faith in him.

Based on that belief, it swallowed the surrounding villages.

He couldn’t go to war with other villages because he had many villages to deal with, but with his stronger faith he was able to rise to a higher rank.

I did that over and over again for 10 years.

As he slowly grew in power, he imprinted the fact that he was the main god of this world.

In order to gather people’s beliefs in one place, he built a pantheon to let people know that he established a country in the name of an empire and respected all the gods.

Since the village was subdued without war, it was a measure taken because no god could be suppressed without faith.

After decades of time passed, the world became stable.

Not everyone sincerely worshiped Astia, but she was recognized as the strongest god.

After more time, she will be honored as the supreme god of the empire, but why!

‘It’s because of that bastard.’

A dog-like god descended from the north.

He is a psychopath who considers himself a creator god.

He dragged the forgotten god, Dana, and turned the empire into this division.

Dana, who had no mythology, was given a story, and through that story, other gods were integrated and absorbed.

The result was this.

People who are angry with themselves.

‘Do you think I’m going to step down from here?’

[An evil god called Lemp, whom Dana calls a creator god.]

Her oracle echoed throughout the islands.

Although a huge amount of divine power was consumed, she was able to endure somehow because this was her land.

[Dai I sold her body to the evil spirits and wished for her own well-being. She knew of her depravity long ago, and I carried out her sister’s duties, but she couldn’t stand it because she was trying to defile her empire with that evil spirit.]

Some of the myths claimed by the other party were accepted.

She didn’t want to admit that Dana was her own sister, but since she believed in the myth that she and her Dana were her sisters, she believed in the myth that Dana was her sister, so she could refute and move on. There was no

[I feel so unfair because you doubt me. I thought I was dedicated to you… But now that Dana has been completely corrupted by Lemfra, I don’t know if I can restore the land’s intelligence with my own power.]

The prince, who recognized her doctor like a ghost, opened her mouth.

“If we trust and follow Astia again, we will be able to prevent the land from being devastated!”

The people fell into confusion at the oracle that Astia gave herself.

There was no contradiction in her words.

She said it was strange for a star goddess to enrich the land, but it wasn’t strange for her to take the place of her sister and the god of the land when she was corrupted by an evil god.

Which one is the truth?

[If I were truly an evil god, what would be the reason for allocating my power to you?]

The situation has been reversed.

Many people came to believe in Astia again thanks to God’s incredible miracle of letting a city hear his voice.

Her words were quite intuitive, and it was clear that she was a god who had given so much to them.

‘I won.’

Astia was convinced.

Even speaking in her own home ground consumed such a large amount of divine power, there was no way Lemfra could speak in a place full of people who didn’t know much about herself.

Talking through an apostle is slow.

There was one fact she overlooked.

[Funny.]

Lempra was a god with really strong divine power.
