I Am an Evil God

Episode 43-Necessity of the Devil

‘These are crazy bastards.’

When a considerable amount of divine power came in when the first sacrifice was received from the followers, ‘Wouldn’t it be possible to obtain much more divine power if a person was sacrificed?’ I once thought

However, this is a good method in the short term, but it is difficult to be a good method in the long term.

If there was only one god in this world, Remfra, it wouldn’t matter how he ran the myth, but there are many gods in this world.

If you turn them into enemies and accept their followers as sacrifices, it is an act that can only harm you.

But it was strange to accept the other side’s warriors as sacrifices.

Lemfra is an absolute creator god, and the corpses of enemies are the corpses of sinners who do not believe in that god, so there was no need to raise the corpses of sinners to Lemfra.

That’s why I’ve never been told to sacrifice a human named Lemp.

However, because many people believe that they go to the world of Lemfra when they die, there were some who believed that they would sacrifice their bodies when they died.

“Bastards…”

Ifritia, who was watching the enemy city from the side, revealed a tremendous murder.

What God was doing was something I couldn’t even open my eyes to see.

I want to receive sacrifices, but I don’t want my power to be weakened, and I don’t want resources consumed while saving people, so I think I did that sh*t. Was

Rather, if it was a method that humans came up with and put into practice, it would have been because, although it was very barbaric and inappropriate, it was because moral concepts had not yet been established properly.

She knew the hearts of the gods well, but Lempria could not stand it any longer.

Lempria kicked off the floor and reached the center of the village in an instant.

Unlike the outskirts, where only wooden fences were erected, numerous guards guarded the strong wooden fence near the center.

– Boom!!

As she rushed forward without covering her back, her fence was completely shattered.

Enemy soldiers rushed to the center of the town, panicking at the suddenly smashed barricade, but it was too late when they arrived.

“Nonsense… No way…”

There was only one enemy.

He wasn’t carrying any weapons.

Someone like that held their leader with one hand and hit them on the floor.

They were holding people up like spears and pushing them down on the floor. It was so frightening that I had no choice but to call Gat, the god they follow.

‘God. Please save us.’

Even the suit and hat were in a pretty dangerous situation.

No, maybe it’s not dangerous.

Because I’ve been collecting the power I gained from accepting people as sacrifices until now.

“Uhhh! Uhhhhh!”

It’s been a while since I’ve seen God’s appearance.

When I saw him during the war with the North, he looked like a tall and neat young man, but now, all he has left is a distorted and crazy human.

At least God was the one who was in good shape, but the others were even more miserable.

As if to prove that all myths were united under one name, Gad, he was weak, short, and very skinny.

In particular, those presumed to be the gods of those raised on the outskirts of the village seemed almost dead and motionless.

“You’re crazy.”

“I mean.”

God looked at Lemfra with shiny eyes.

“Hello? Hee hee hee!”

It was a god that looked like he was going crazy, but even the power he possessed was not weak.

For how long he had been accepting countless people as sacrifices, he had tremendous divine power within his body.

“Lemfrazi? Yes, it’s Lemfra. That’s what he must have looked like.”

Gad’s thin arm pointed at Lemfra.

“Now, I am stronger. You are weaker.”

Gat giggled.

“Humans are the best food.”

Every time the hat giggled, something with a dark aura came out.

If you look closely, it looks like there is something red hanging from Gat’s head.

‘It seems that they were not only influenced by their mythology.’

In all areas ruled by Lempria, Gad had the same meaning as the devil.

I don’t know if the belief of so many people who think he’s a demon drove him crazy, or if he just got demons, but I realized that he also had a pretty strong identity as a demon.

‘Should I just leave it alone?’

From noble mtl dot com

It was difficult to see that a place that symbolizes evil was absolutely necessary, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad.

Right now, even in Christianity, people who commit sins are called children of Satan, and in the myths they believe in, they attribute the fault to the devil.

‘It can be used to control humans, or it can be used to control gods.’

It’s something to think about, but killing it right away wasn’t productive.

After a little more thought, when I realized that it was completely useless, I could have killed it.

No matter how much divine power Gad gathered, he was no better than an ant in front of Lemfra.

The divine power that many people believed to be the creator god could not be matched with just a few sacrifices.

[Lempriah, this is a test. I won’t help you any more. Solve it on your own.]

‘Okay. Lord Lemfra!’

Altier looked at the statue of God in the center of the plaza.

Destroying that statue will weaken their faith.

Just in time, Isaac ran up from behind.

“So, you’re trying to stick together?”

Gad’s eyes glistened black.

His body blurred and flowed into the statue his followers had created.

-Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!!

A miracle happened.

The fairly simple statue began to move.

It wasn’t that big because the technology wasn’t great yet, but it was solid and the god was inside, so its dignity was great.

[Isaac, if you cut off the head of that statue, I will grant you the position of an apostle.]

‘I understand!’

Although Isaac responded bravely, he did not fully grasp Lemfra’s words.

Isaac was just as angry as Lem Pria, because he was determined to destroy the statue by all means.

“Isn’t it dangerous? To completely erase God’s existence from this world, it would be better to win overwhelmingly, but why do we have to fight so close?”

“Catria.”

“Yes.”

Hearing Lemfra’s calm voice, Catria shifted her gaze to him and saw Lemfra smiling.

“Devils are always necessary in any mythology. Christianity has Satan, Buddhism has demons, and even in Greco-Roman mythology, there are those who stand in opposition to a god called a giant.”

“Isn’t it bad if there are people like that? The influence of the gods gets weaker.”

“Instead of the influence of being strong, the influence of being evil will disappear. Because of the existence of the devil, people will blame the devil when something bad happens to them. When something good happens to them, they will give thanks to God. If you think about the need for demons from the point of view of gods rather than humans, they aren’t that bad.”

Katria opened her mouth with an ah.

“However, his authority as a creator god might decrease. How can a god who can’t get rid of a single demon become a creator god?”

“It’s not that you can’t get rid of it. It’s that you can’t get rid of it.”

A creator god cannot be good.

But you shouldn’t be so evil.

A creator must be chaotic.

Rather than ruling the world according to one absolute principle, you should value your own joy and thoughts at the time.

That way, even when a contradiction arises, you just move on because you are that kind of person.

“From now on, the demons will remain as the evil that afflicts the citizens and the trials of the heroes. When humans commit sins, the power of the demons strengthens, and as the heroes defeat the demons that have become stronger, we create a system that grows. If followers ask me why I don’t get rid of demons, I’ll just say that’s what I want to do.”

Katria looked at Lemfra with a puzzled look on her face.

“I don’t know. If Lemfra-sama said that, then it must be true.”

“I agree with Lemfra-sama’s words. There can’t be only good in this world.”

Contrary to the way she spoke as if she understood, Ifritia’s face was red.

“But I don’t like the idea that these bastards will live forever.”

“Don’t think he’s alive.”

Because it will forever be used as a tool by the gods.
