　It is said that there is an abundance of water in this place, which is called the divine world or a paradise in the sky.

　The buildings in the god world seem to have beautifully landscaped flowerbeds, waterways, and fountains.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I hear the sound of running water as I pass by some buildings.

　If you could live in such a place, relaxing and reading a book, you can understand why people would call this place a paradise.

　In such a way, we walked through the divine world and aimed at the largest building that Archbishop Paul pointed out to us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I heard that God is there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We passed through the entrance of the large temple-like building and entered.

　It seems that the King of the Immortals and Naja have not come here yet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is no trace of unclean magic in the building.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But there is not a single sound, as if the building had never been occupied in the first place.

　I wondered if there were any survivors.

"It's kind of deserted, isn't it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. It's more than a little strange. Normally, there should be a ward that prevents people from entering this temple. ....... But I was able to enter without any problem.

"Warding?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. This temple is inaccessible because of the magical wards. Worst case scenario, I was thinking of breaking down this wall to get in.

"Heh. I see. Well, let's just count ourselves lucky. So where can I find this god?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This way, Ars. Over there is God."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"In the back here?　I mean, is it okay if I come in after all this time?　God is there, right?　I don't want people to complain that I'm disrespectful or something."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"There doesn't seem to be anyone here, so I don't think there will be any complaints.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, maybe so, but I'm afraid that God himself will complain about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Then it will be all right. Here we are. Here we are.

　I know what I'm doing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I follow Archbishop Paul, who has been here once before, as he strolls through the temple.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But is he really all right?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had thought that there was no God, but if there really was, I wondered if he would be offended by my stepping into his presence.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I suddenly became concerned.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, Archbishop Paul just went on his way as if he didn't care about such things.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Finally, we seem to have arrived at the room we are looking for.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was a heavy door, and it seemed that God was behind the door, which was designed to appeal to the audience that there was an executive in the room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He opened the door and entered the room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, hello!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What are you doing? Come in quickly, Ars. Here it is. This is the statue of the god.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?　Statue of God?　Where's God?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This image of God is God himself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, I see. Oh, I see. So you don't have to worry about God complaining. If the statue is a god, then there's nothing to complain about.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I walked through the door, I thought it would be better to bow my head and take a bow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So I didn't check the other side of the door right away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But when Archbishop Paul called out to me, I lifted my head and saw no one.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was only a statue in the back of the large room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The statue was in the shape of a life-size person.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is the god of the church, I was told.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Looking at it more closely, it is a female statue, so perhaps it would be better to call it a goddess.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, one wonders if they came all the way down here just to collect such a statue.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, it can't be just a statue, can it? It seems to contain great magical power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Come to think of it, I was being briefed on the workings of the church.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　By making a vow to God, the priests of the church can use the naming ceremony.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And when the priest dies, the connection of people's magical power paths returns from the dead priest to the god.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Does this mean that magic power flows to the statue of the god?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In that sense, this statue must be an extraordinary one.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At any rate, the amount of magic power it contains is extraordinary.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I mean, this might even exceed the atomosphere.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm afraid I'll get in trouble if I break it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's nerve-wracking to carry it carefully, and a large magic bag should be able to hold it if you open the mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Let's pack it in there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I put my hand on the statue.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What the hell is this?　Is he alive?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You're right, boy. The woman is alive. She may have been turned to stone, but she'll always be alive."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Who is it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The moment I touched the statue, I suddenly understood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This statue is definitely alive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It does not move at all, it is as hard as a stone, but it is still alive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was the moment when I understood this intuitively and spoke of it without thinking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Someone agreed with my words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it was not the voice of Archbishop Paul.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thanatos and Ian had not entered the temple.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They had been put on standby to guard against the Immortals who were still outside.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And it was not the voice of a woman like Lila guarding Archbishop Paul.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a male voice, whose identity I did not recognize, that answered me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I turn around in a hurry and look around.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I immediately recognize the presence.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or rather, I wonder why I had not noticed it before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was a man I had never seen before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Who do you say you are? My name is Doren. Dogma Doren.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A man who responds to my voice with discipline.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Dogma Dorren, King of the Immortals.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was the first king who established a kingdom in an undeveloped land infested with demons, an impure being who spread filth in the world.
