When the oracle came down, Anger tried to send me a messenger, and before the messenger arrived, I went to visit Anger.

“Seeing that you were looking for me, the oracle must be related to me.”

“That’s a bit ambiguous.”

Enjour was making an expression that was rare to see. It seemed like I knew what it was without even thinking about it.

“You mean something that doesn’t sound like an oracle came down?”

“That’s right, it’s the first time I’ve ever had anything like this, so I’m embarrassed too, so I tried to call you in case you knew something.”

Bonamana Howard. It seems that Howard gave some useless oracle.

From noble mtl dot com.

“I think I know roughly what it is. Just tell me. I will solve it.”

“Hmmm, high-ranking people always mean it, but there are many times when I don’t know, so I’ll just tell you what I heard.”

Anger would never have dreamed that the high-ranking person was Howard, whom he had met in person. Anger paused for a while, then cleared his throat and opened his mouth.

“Build me a temple too”

Unknowingly, I covered my face with both hands. It was Howard who did it, so why is the shame on me?

“All right. Let me work it out.”

returned home And he ordered Howard’s temple to be built in the New World. Howard is different from the existing Junon or Drakan.

It is not a problem that can be solved by adding one more statue to the corner of the temple of the Divinity Church, as in the case of Drakan.

This can be seen from the changes that took place in the world after Howard took office. Howard is a kind of evil god. It’s not that there wasn’t such a thing before.

Evil spirits worshiped by black magicians existed in the past. However, they were imaginary beings with no substance, or things close to foreign media that were occasionally accidentally connected.

However, an evil god was officially born in this world. Perhaps this was already discussed with Junon at the time Howard changed.

We can roughly guess why Howard accepted such a position, but it remains a little questionable whether evil spirits are necessary in this world.

It is not a problem that can be solved only by building a temple. There must be a priest and there must be a believer. So, it was not easy to build Howard’s temple on the continent where existing humans live.

I don’t know at first, but after a while, humans will naturally know. Isn’t it a perfect condition to be attacked and annihilated because it is a temple of an evil god?

That’s why I decided to build one only in the new continent. There were no temples in the New World yet. Although there are quite a few residents from Akasha and Tempest, religion is not a very important issue for ordinary people who are busy making a living in the first place.

That’s why people like elves and dwarves believe in religion and go to temples? If I made a temple for the World Tree, I don’t know if the elves would visit it, but it’s ridiculous.

I decided to think about finding priests and followers once the temple was built. Still, since he is a god in his own way, he will need followers, but I do not like that he obeys meekly because I have a suspicion that it is an oracle given by Howard to play tricks on me.

Howard’s temple was designed by the dwarves, but it was built by immigrant humans. With the plan of Wither, it is important to create jobs in a situation where the residents of the Akasha Territory are gradually moving.

And then I had to go to the ecliptic again. Although it was very late, William decided to formally enshrine Shaq.

In fact, it should have been done right away, but it was because Shaq thought he didn’t need a title, so he was putting off the work with excuses here and there.

An ordinary person would not dare to refuse the title given by the emperor of the empire, but it would be difficult for a person like Shark to be awarded a title by force.

It was postponed until now because Shaq was using me as an excuse to sleep.

Since he has seen what kind of nobles are and how they live while traveling across Argin and the continent, he did not want to be tied to one country.

Shaq would rather be a vassal nobleman of House Tempest or House Akasha. However, that is tantamount to saying that the two families would openly turn their backs on the Aether Empire.

In fact, the Akasha family had already half openly declared independence, but that was only possible because of the new continent.

We talked a lot about this with Shaq and Argin. So the conclusion was to just accept the title. However, the Territory decided to receive only a very small territory near the Tempest Territory.

Shaq’s conferment ceremony took place on a truly grandiose scale. It was an event that the Aether Empire used its strength to the extent that I wondered if it was on a larger scale than William’s coronation ceremony.

As if boasting that the continent’s strongest warrior is an aristocrat of the Aether Empire, invitations were sent to all countries on the continent.

Thanks to this, Shark’s conferment ceremony became an unprecedented event where all the world’s most powerful and talented people gathered.

I also sprinkled some seasoning on it. Now, the Nautilus, which has grown considerably, was moved to No. 5 and parked in the sky over the ecliptic, and the whole family participated to relieve Argin and Shark’s burden a little.

It wasn’t even an emperor’s coronation ceremony, but the title conferment ceremony, which had been held for five days, ended so successfully.

Shaq, who was newly awarded the title of duke with the surname Istana, was given a very small territory in the north of the Tempest Territory that did not match the title of duke.

However, as if to compensate for it, William gave a considerable amount of money and people, and he received tax exemption for 20 years, so he was able to run the manor very generously from the start.

However, Shark’s troubles had just begun. The reason Shaq has been able to live a relatively peaceful life so far is because he was labeled as not being a nobleman.

As soon as he became an aristocrat, Shaq got tired of the numerous marriage talks that flooded him, so he chose to escape to the new continent in an airship.

Thanks to this, I wondered if the family at the mansion had increased by one, but Lena kicked Shark out of the mansion at the same time she said she was happy to have an older brother.

This is an instinct as a father. It’s not that Shaq is bad for Lena’s mate, but it’s not good either.

Shaq was given accommodation in one of the labs used by Setas, but Shaq rather liked it.

Setas’ laboratory is far from private houses due to the risk of explosion, and it is built very sturdily, so it is said that it is perfect for training.

How could you give a daughter to a guy who is crazy about training like this? It will definitely be a copy of Argine and Violetta.

I don’t know if there’s any further advancement as an unmanned man with a human body, but Shark said he knew something and went into closed training.

Around the time Howard’s temple was being built, Antariel, who was living while concentrating on childcare, came to visit.

“what?”

“I want to become a priest”

What is this sudden orc grazing?

“Why all of a sudden?”

“Weren’t you looking for someone to do that?”

“That’s right, but why are you?”

Antariel took himself as the priest of the Howard Church.

“Because it fits my ideals, isn’t Howard the realization of what I’ve been aiming for all my life?”

It’s not wrong, but I don’t like something.

“Even if you become Howard’s priest, it won’t be of any help to your research, right? And the way it was realized is different.”

“If you think about it, it’s not that different. Didn’t he become a god by polishing himself?”

“If you think about it that way, it is, but if that’s the case, you should have become a priest of the Divinity Church in the first place. What’s the difference between Lord Drakan and Howard?”

“Drakan-sama was originally a dragon, the supreme being, and Howard-sama was a human?”

It’s not? Drakan was also a small lizard at first, right? Shall I put Drakan’s biography in my head?

“But why are you against me becoming a priest?”

Why, why is Howard doing well because his stomach hurts. I can’t say that outright.

“Okay, well, I have no reason to object to the fact that he volunteered. I was just asking because I was surprised.”

The moment I said that, as if I had waited, red light poured from the sky and began to surround Antariel.

“Oh oh!”

Antariel was making an ecstatic expression as if he was receiving a blessing from God. No, it’s like receiving God’s blessing.

After a while, when the red light disappeared, Antariel’s expression was filled with determination and spoke as if declaring.

“I, Antariel, have now become the High Priestess of the Calista Church by following Lord Howard’s oracle.”

It seems that he has been chosen as the saint of Howard and has heard the oracle. I don’t know what he heard, but I watched as a fanatic was born right in front of my eyes. And I am experiencing in real time the bad things that happen when a friend becomes a god. And gave up.

“do whatever you want. I do not know.”

Antariel chose to emigrate with his family rather than using the grandiose temple of the New World. Apparently, he thought it would be difficult to gather believers here. Still, it’s a little bit to just send it, so I handed over a large amount. I don’t care about the rest. I feel relatively weak in the Akasha estate, but it’s not like Antariel’s ability to go around anywhere, and his wives are much stronger than normal humans.

However, he visited Angour and told him about the existence of Antariel and that he had become a saint of a new religion.

The Heretic Judges of the Divinity Church are rare now, but in the past they were literally nothing more than a massacre.

When a new religion appeared, it was common for them to rush in and kill every single ant cub.

Of course, if the Inquisitors now fight Antariel, there is a high possibility that the opposite will happen. In any case, the warning was given to prevent unnecessary collisions.

However, Anger accepted the new religion unexpectedly calmly. On the contrary, he seemed a little happy.

“The Church of Divitani has not been tolerant of heresy until now. But isn’t it a different case now? I’ve also received an oracle from Mr. Howard. He is definitely a God who exists in this world.”

I couldn’t bear to say that Howard might be an evil spirit. However, he had a hunch that one day the Divinity Church and Howard’s Kalista Church would collide. Neither Junon nor Howard will know this. Until then I just watch.

Antariel passed the West Continent and crossed over to the East Continent. And I went to the place where the Great Labyrinth was located in the past. The Labyrinth City, which had been so prosperous in the past, was left with most of the people leaving and only a dreary appearance.

Antariel built a new temple there. And they started recruiting believers. Of course it wasn’t easy. No sane person would try to become a follower of a new god. And the high priest was not even a human.

The root of the Labyrinth City is a place built on human greed, and many people from the bottom, starting with mercenaries, were drawn to it. The temple of a heterogeneous tribe that seemed to have a lot of money built there only seemed like a very good prey to the bottom life who couldn’t follow when everyone left.

In various ways, outcasts were playing tricks on the temple of Calista religion, and Antariel suppressed it with force. and accepted them as believers. It was an unheard-of way to increase followers with physical force, but surprisingly the effect was great.

In an instant, when the number of followers exceeded dozens and hundreds, the Great Labyrinth reopened. This news hit the eastern continent. But not everyone could get in.

Only those who received blessings from the temple of Kalista religion were allowed to enter. The temple of the Kalista cult became the core of the Labyrinth City at once.

“What are you thinking?”

Watching it, I grabbed my head. And headed to the Great Labyrinth. If you go in, you will be able to meet Drakan or Howard or someone. Surely I don’t have to receive the blessing of the Kalista cult?
