I Am an Evil God

Episode 48-Duel of the Gods

Gad also knew that the odds of killing Lempra were extremely slim.

Everyone knew that he was also a transformed fragment created from Lemfra.

Killing Lemfra in such a myth wouldn’t be impossible at all, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t a high enough chance to target it.

Therefore, his revenge on Lemfra meant that Lemfra would bring chaos to the Mand world.

Thankfully, in the world known so far, there are many areas where God can interfere.

Although the development of civilization has been extremely accelerated by the gods, the world is not yet ready to accept such a developed civilization.

Even if the number of newborns exploded and the death rate dropped for about two generations, the basic population was still insufficient, and many things changed in such a short period of time, so many people could not accept the difference between the previous culture and the current culture.

Immediately, those in the north did not properly accept Lemfra, and there was still a lot of discrimination against the northerners.

What Gad dug into was the northern region of the Lempria Empire.

It was also an area where he had been influential before, and it was also the area where the backlash against Lemfra and the country as a whole was the most severe, so it was the most comfortable to target this area.

“I thought he was completely dead, but it’s amazing to be resurrected like this.”

Gad revived an already forgotten god as a demon.

It looked like a resurrection, but it was more like a rebirth than a resurrection.

Gad himself named the gods he resurrected to prevent them from turning against him.

Those who previously existed as gods were reborn with names as demons.

Their strength was very weak.

The only beings who knew them were at most a few apostles of Gad, but even they were loyal to Gad and not to themselves, so the amount of magic they could get was extremely insufficient.

Once you have a spirit god, you can have an influence, but once you do it, you have no demons, so you have to live in the shadow of Gat for a while.

“So, what are we supposed to do?”

“To cover the world of Lemfra with chaos. That is our goal. Whether it takes years, decades, or hundreds of years, we slowly gather our strength and drive the world into chaos.”

The demon held its breath and slowly increased its strength.

Until one day he can drive his teeth into the neck of a god.

“Every time I see it, I feel that the speed of civilization’s development varies greatly depending on whether God intervenes or not. We’ve only been in this world for two generations, but iron has already become popular to some extent.”

“Even in modern society, if aliens come and develop technology, civilization will develop rapidly, but would it be different from the old times? It’s because the population is insufficient, but if the population increases, it will grow much faster. Going in the perfect direction without trial and error How could civilization stand still?”

Katria sat down on a chair given by the artisans.

“Isn’t it necessary to limit the development of civilization to some extent in order to protect the divinity? I think disbelief in God will come naturally if we achieve a civilization at the level of the earth. Right now, Ison is studying gravity and force, But every time I see something like that, I’m startled.”

“I believe that I created the power and the laws of physics, so what are you worried about?”

Lemfra spoke with a relaxed expression, and Katria puffed out her cheeks softly, she said.

“The laws of physics can explain it that way, but what if fossils appear? And if you see populations changing over time to adapt to the environment, what will you do if evolution comes to the fore? At that time, creationism will lose its power. .I think it would be better to limit the development of science to the Middle Ages. Anyway, what we want is to spread Lemfra’s faith to the whole world, not to further develop human civilization.”

“Since the goddess of wisdom says that, does cognitive dissonance come?”

Catria glared at him as Lemfra spoke playfully.

“When the theory of evolution comes to the fore, I just have to explain that it is a law I made. We are not the gods of the Earth who cannot speak. They can interfere with humans at any time. If you said there was something different to make it easier for you, you just need to correct it. Don’t take it too seriously.”

“That’s it? What would you do if you found out that this planet is not the center of the world? In fact, this planet just revolves around a star, and the stars in the sky are numerous stars in our galaxy. What will you do if you find out?”

At Catria’s words, Lemfra smiled.

“How do you know that?”

“Yes?”

“How can we be sure that this world is a spherical planet, that it really has stars, that this planet orbits a star?”

“How can you be sure? The earth did it. So, of course, this world…”

“This world is not the universe we used to live in. It is not an ever-expanding universe created by the Big Bang, but a world created by an unknown mass of light and brought us as gods.”

Katria put on her sullen expression as if she didn’t understand.

“Remember the saying that faith is power?”

“Yes, I remember.”

“This world moves according to what people believe. If humans think of the sun as the movement of a certain monster and believe that way for a long time, then the monster will really move, and humans will think that the movement of the moon is the movement of a huge mass of rock.” But if you think the night monster is moving, it really will be.”

Despite Lemfra’s words, Katria only looked at Lemfra with a dissatisfied expression.

“Don’t think of this world as the same as Earth. Gods directly give oracles and demons rule people. Why do you think the laws of the heavens are the same as ours?”

“I think we need to be prepared for just in case.”

Lem Fra let out a deep sigh and stroked Catria’s head.

“Okay, let’s do as you say. You said we should maintain a level of civilization at the level of the Middle Ages, right?”

“Yes, people like Lempria and Isaac have made qi that humans can use, right? I think we can slow down the development of technology by transforming that qi into mana and making it develop toward magic like in a fantasy world. .”

“Okay, do it your way. You’re the goddess of wisdom, so you know that better than I do.”

“Who should be appointed as the God of Mana…”

As the Lempria Empire developed, the types of gods also diversified.

It was because they needed a god who could explain everything that happened in the world, and because of that, many of those who were previously spirits were promoted to gods, and gods from other countries were accepted as a formal mythological system. Has greatly increased

The number of gods was quite large, but there were also many gods who had no roles.

Since such gods were assigned meaningless roles, when it was necessary to assign a god to such a new concept, it was possible to find the necessary number of people.

“Why don’t we hold a tournament of the gods instead of randomly designating one?”

“The tournament of the gods?”

“Hasn’t the time come now for us to create a large-scale myth? It’s a duel between the gods with the place of the god of mana and many other major gods. If we increase the scale further and let the gods of other countries participate, they will naturally follow us. You will come into the myth.”

Katria’s eyes widened.

“What a great idea!”

Catria stopped her and thought about her for a bit, then she started to open her eyes wide again.

“It’s a really good way. If the gods of the surrounding nations don’t participate in this duel, the concept of their claim will disappear, and if they do, they will have to fully acknowledge that they are the gods under Lemfra! “

Katria got up excitedly and she started screaming loudly.

“Let’s get ready right now. Let’s gather all the nameless gods and redistribute their roles in a duel of holy and holy gods!”

From noble mtl dot com

Catria immediately informed all the gods that a duel of the gods would take place, and told them to notify their apostles of the fact.

Numerous gods announced that they would participate in the duel, and this fact was also known to the human world.

Humans couldn’t directly witness the duel of the gods, but they started preparing for the festival with excitement that the duel of the gods would happen soon.
