The Outer God Needs Warmth

Chapter 46

Certainly, here’s the faithful translation of the provided text:

"Of course, I didn’t lie."

"Do people call it 'foreign news'?"

The person in front, Hyungkeshni, called it foreign news.

"Did you make a contract?"

They said that they would take everything after death.

"Were they the first to make a contract?"

Since they are not human, the contract is void!

"This side is a bit dangerous. Anyway, I don’t think of myself as a god, but I don’t think of myself as human either."

"If I were a god, I would have had some incredible powers. If I said 'let there be light,' light would appear, and I would be able to do whatever I thought of and enjoy it. At the very least, I’d have enough power to put someone under that kind of sleep."

"But I am not like that."

"I’m just a fool of a monster who can't even come out into the world without a contract."

"Originally, I’m cold and suffering, so how could I be a god? How can I not even obtain warmth?"

"But if necessary, I pretend to be a god."

"They even call it a capitalist smile, right?"

"If I can get warmth, I can lick the ground like a dog."

"This time, I have to protect Hyungkeshni, so I’m forced to take risks. Otherwise, why would I claim to be a god?"

"I’d rather choose to drift by like a useless person."

"Hunting prey is easiest when it mistakes itself for the hunter."

"Most of the blessed people here are looking at me. Only a very few are looking at the soldiers or, with very somber expressions, sitting on the ground and staring at Hyungkeshni."

"I heard that grandfather’s special power came from a god he received it from. Are you the god who gave grandfather the power?"

A middle-aged man asks me.

"Hmm? Didn’t he know me as a servant of the god?"

When Tis-ha received the blessing, I was still the servant of the Mirae Hope Sect's god. But a god?

For a moment, I skimmed through Tis-ha’s memories. Ah, I see. Later on, people who received my blessings all called me 'foreign news,' so they must have thought I was a god.

"I gave him the blessing."

I should have said I was a god, but it doesn’t come out easily, as if it gets stuck in my throat. I really seem to dislike being a god."

"But he converted to our Lord. Why do you appear now? You left him alone when he believed in another god, didn’t you?"

Conversion, huh.

Now that I think about it, that’s right.

"So did I regain my powers? I gave Tis-ha part of myself and made a contract with him, saying I would take everything when he finished what he had to do. And now that he’s dead, I’ve come to collect what’s mine."

I stretched out my arm and pointed to the sky.@@@@

"But something interfered from above. So, I’m asking you. Is that right?"

I subtly changed the reason I appeared in this world.

I appeared here to question right and wrong.

Actually, that’s not true. I wanted warmth, but I got annoyed and drained the warmth from everyone here. Then, by chance, I had an opportunity to come here, so I came."

"From the beginning to the end, nothing I’ve done was planned. Everything was a coincidence, an accident."

"So now I’m racking my brain here."

The middle-aged man in front of me is Tis-ha’s grandson and the current king of this country.

Considering that I had just blessed them and made them close their eyes, it seems I could control them, but that would be a last resort.

That could easily turn into the blessed ones versus the Ansellus Kingdom. So if rumors spread that those blessed by me are dangerous, they’ll be less likely to call on me.

So, I have to make sure the royalty here stays on the Ansellus Kingdom's side.

The scene where a specific human became a person just now?

"A god appeared directly in front of them; would that matter? They’d probably think a god did something.""Thinking that, I look at the king, and he’s very flustered. Oh, is it that hard?""No, never mind."

"What does that hand mean?" "The hair."

Huh? His expression became puzzled, and then he grabbed his own hair. Somehow, the knight next to him, who had little hair, looked at me with a frightened expression.

"Do you want the hair?"

Suddenly? I’m not into bald men. That’s a bit...

Ah, you understood it like that? That I want the hair?

"No. The color of the hair. Humanity. You inherited Tis-ha’s contract."

I guess it’s an automatic renewal. That’s why it was so easy to make the contract. And since he was born like that from the start, I can control him.

But it’s funny seeing how relieved the two men are. The other knight, who has a lot of hair, looks completely confused, which makes it even funnier.

"So, you gave the blessing."

I’ve already filled them up.

The king’s expression grew very sharp when he heard my words.

"Does that mean I have to trust you?"

"No. It’s unpleasant to trust the Holy Spirit who tried to block me, but if you want to believe in that god, go ahead. Humanity should freely believe in religion."

Hmm?

Why is he looking at me with such a shocked expression?

"You’re telling me to believe in religion freely? As a god?"

Is that so strange? Ah, is it because I’m not a god that I don’t understand the nature of gods? That’s right. I’m not a god. So, I’ll give a lighter response.

"Isn’t it the freedom of humanity?"

That’s just how it should be.

Ah. For a moment, a criticism came from the faded man’s memory. He said that being subjugated to gods was the life of modern humanity.

But isn’t the world different now?

Maybe that was such a shocking statement, the king was silent for a long time. In the meantime, the blessed ones properly left. It means they were safely protected. At least they left the blessings behind, so they’ll be fine.

Meanwhile, soldiers are standing around Hyungkeshni, aiming their weapons and holding their breath.

That’s bad... Hyungkeshni has to write the book.

"O god who has come to this place, what do you wish for as the price of blessing?"

There is something I wish for. Specifically, making Hyungkeshni over there write a book. But that doesn’t seem like something I want right now.

The faded man pulls out one proposal. It looks like he’s going to experience a mental breakdown soon. He’s completely a stranger.

So, what does he say?

Freedom?

If that’s it...

"Why are you asking me that? I gave myself up. Then, when the time comes, I’ll take everything I have."

No, is the king’s expression showing determination? He looks like he’s burning with a sense of duty to kill the evil in front of him.

Did I speak wrong? Again? Like this?

"Humanity should do whatever they want and die freely. I’ll come to meet them when they die."

As soon as I finished speaking, the resolve vanished without a trace.

It really disappeared. And the king bowed his head.

Why?
