Level 1 Strongest Sage ~

Next

Last night, I decided to consult Creator God-sama so that I could become the ruler of the Holy City in order to help Seira successfully resign from being a Saintess.

I went to the Great Shrine in order to meet Creator God-sama, but apparently, people couldn’t enter outside the service hours.

Moreover, all the priests were gone because of the demon, so the current situation didn’t allow ordinary folks to enter.

The Saintess Succession was successful, and once Ysha learned the ropes, people would be able to enter the Great Shrine again, but it was highly likely that Seira would be pushed to become the ruler of the Holy City by then.

Seira’s personality is such that she won’t be able to refuse anyone who asked for her help, so if the residents persuaded her to take up post, she would probably fulfill that role desperately.

She had been living as a saintess who had to suppress her own will all these time, so I wanted her to enjoy her own life from now on.

I thought I’d be taken to the Divine Realm again if I tried praying to the Creator God’s statue, but unfortunately, I couldn’t enter, much less go there.

There’s no other way but to teleport to the divine realm then, so I decided to give it a try.

I placed a teleportation marking when the entire Ernol House was taken to the Divine Realm, but —

I couldn’t sense the existence of the marking’s teleportation magic circle.

My teleportation magic had two necessary procedures that I must do in order to teleport to my destination.

First, I needed to summon myself to the space between the Human Realm and the Spirit Realm — the so-called Interstice between the realms.

Then, using the magical circle that I used to mark the people and destination points as my landmark, I would re-summon myself again to that place — that’s how I teleported.

As for the reason why I had to pass through the Interstice — that’s because I was only summoning myself.

Once I felt the mana in the magical circle installed at my teleportation destination, I would summon myself over there. In other words, if I can’t feel the mana of my magical circle, then I couldn’t teleport.

And as of now, the scope of my magical sensing ability could approximately cover a single country, so I didn’t have the means to teleport to other kingdoms.

For example, when I’m in Glendale, I couldn’t sense the mana of the magical circle installed in Alheim, so I couldn’t teleport there directly.

By going through the Interstice, I could ignore the distance and teleport to whatever place I wanted. That’s the process that I came up with.

The realm threshold space was connected to all the places in the Human Realm. There was no concept of distance.

Once I entered the Interstice, I could feel the mana of all the teleportation circles that I placed.

I would then use that magical circle’s mana as target to summon myself.

Recently, I was already used to it, so the process of searching for the mana of a particular teleportation circle within the Interstice became a subconscious action on my part, thereby increasing my speed of teleportation. 

The lag between the time I stepped into the teleportation circle after recalling my destination to the time I stepped out was almost gone.

The people I teleport with probably weren’t even aware that they passed through the Interstice.

However, I couldn’t use that method to enter the Divine Realm.

I tried searching through the Interstice for the mana of the teleportation marking that I placed in the Divine Realm, but I couldn’t sense it at all.

In short, the Interstice wasn’t connected to the Divine Realm.

In this case, it would be impossible for me to teleport to the Divine Realm.

That’s when I remembered something.

When Creator God-sama summoned us to the Divine realm, we entered from a door within the Great Shrine.

At that time, some letters had floated on top of the door knob when Creator God-sama touched it.

That was probably the letters that would connect the Human Realm to the Divine Realm.

I remembered those letters.

My memory wasn’t at par with Luna’s Absolute Memory Skill, but my memory is pretty sharp because I’m a Sage.

I didn’t know the meaning behind those letters, but I could firmly recall the shape of them, so I was able to replicate it with mana somehow. 

The replication consumed a lot of mana.

Compared to the Elven Script and the Ancient Runes, I already consumed 100, 000 mana points just to recreate the shape of a single letter.

And there were a total of 12 letters.

I used a total of 120,000 mama points, and I somehow managed to replicate the letters. They were now floating around my right wrist.

After that, I tried placing my hand on the doorknob —

A door appeared out of thin air.

Pure white space stretched beyond the door when I opened it.

I stepped into it.

Other than the doorway behind me, everything was pure white.

It was the Divine Realm.

I really did teleport into the Divine Realm.

Well, it wasn’t as if I came here just to experience this.

Thoughts of meeting Creator God-sama filled my mind when —

“H-Halt, why are you here?”

An old man with white hair and white beard appeared.

“Ah, Creator God-sama!”

“You, those letters on your hand, are they perhaps —”

“I apologize, I have urgent matters and I need to meet Creator God-sama no matter what…When I tried imitating the method that Creator God-sama used to take us into the Divine realm, I ended up coming here.”“Ended up coming here, you said — wait, are you serious? You didn’t feel anything when you passed through that door?”

“Door? Ahh, yes, there was a slight numbing sensation.”

“The Divine Magic that will prevent the entry of unsummoned people was activated, and yet, that’s all the extent…”

Erm, sounded like I really shouldn’t have come here?

“Static Status…As I thought, it’s an outrageous curse, huh. For it to give birth to a Bakemono that can easily repel the magic of the Divine Realm infused with the supreme level of holy attributes….That great fool.”

Great fool… was he referring to Evil God?

“Ahm, I apologize, it seems that my arbitrary intrusion is such a bad idea?”

“Well, I won’t rebuke you for coming here, but you shouldn’t bring anyone else with you ever. If it was somebody else apart from you, this world’s supreme magic would obliterate even the very soul of that person in just an instant.”

I-I see.

I got it now, it shouldn’t be that easy to enter the Divine Realm.

“I-I will be more careful. Then, is it alright for me to come here if I am on my own?”

“Mm. You’re a special case, okay? If possible, do inform me beforehand. That way, I’ll know that you’re going to come.”

“I understand!”

It didn’t seem like he would scold me for coming here without permission, so I regained my composure and talked to Creator God-sama about Seira’s matters.

 The Creator God-sama listened to my request.
