I’m Going to Destroy this Country

Chapter 123 - Understand the Situation? (3)



Just what had happened?

The Red priests doubted their own eyes and ears.

Uh… So.

The Red guardian god summoned by the Red heir… made a contract. Moreover, a contract with a person from Eshua…

Yes, so, abandoning the Red heir…

…Huh? What?

“What?!”

The Red priests looked at Isaac in surprise. Confusion and fear were felt in their eyes looking at him.

‘Wasn’t he trying to summon the Supreme God?’

‘Why did he leave the Supreme God and choose our god?’

They couldn’t understand this situation. No matter what anyone said, there was no option to abandon the Supreme God.

But there was an inkling.

‘Could it be that he’s trying to take away the Red God first and later make a contract with the Supreme God?’

With that thought, the crazy Red priests froze.

Yes! That must be it!

‘It’s possible. He prioritized the family’s benefit…!’

What kind of god is the God of Criminal Justice?

Not only changing rules, but also changing laws and natures, there were endless things he could do. It wasn’t for nothing that the Red family toasted when the God of Criminal Justice appeared for the first time in hundreds of years.

But Eshua is taking that?

‘He’s going to suck up all the good stuff and switch to the Supreme God later!’

‘Yes, he’s planning to take it back later, saying he’ll return the God of Criminal Justice.’

‘To suppress the Red!’

Such a cunning…!

At the shocked gazes of those priests, Isaac laughed.

Well, it seems they’re having a strange misunderstanding, but it didn’t matter.

The God of Criminal Justice was a precious god that only those with outstanding talent, at least at the level of a family head, could barely choose.

Since the Red guardian god was stolen by a rival family, it’s understandable to be confused.

For Naiser, the moment he chose the Red God, he might have thought everything was finally over. His achievements were accumulated, his abilities were proven. He must have thought a smooth path as the family head would open up.

And what does that mean?

It means Naiser had his trump card, which he thought was his, taken away. Even that future.

The proof was Naiser’s expression was a sight to behold. His face looked like he would faint, no, he looked like he had lost a country, which was a bit sorry.

‘But even if he makes that expression, I won’t give it back. I need to live too.’

Moreover, what’s good when the situation turns out like this…

“Isn’t it that the Red God chose that child, not the Red heir!”

“Does it mean he rated a child from another family higher than the current heir?”

“Is that the problem now? If the Red God who finds heretics made a contract to that extent, it means there’s no problem with his faith!”

“Indeed. If there was a problem, he would have executed him, not made a contract!”

“They said Isaac is a heretic! Then does it mean the Red made a mistake?”

“Did they misunderstand him?”

“It’s not a mistake! The Red’s discernment has fallen!”

Yes, this is it! Hah!

The situation is completely reversed in an instant! Just as planned!

‘Now they won’t be able to say presumptuous things like investigating Eshua.’

Their own guardian god chose him, not any other god. Well, what can they do?

Is that all? As much as I took their guardian god, it also means I have their leash!

As expected, even the Cardinals showed interest as if they hadn’t expected it at all.

“Oh.”

“This is a rare occasion.”

They had simply thought of Isaac as a heretic, but if it’s like this, the story changes.

Of course, the Red Cardinal’s expression changed in a different sense.

“Y-Your Excellency.”

“Oho. Stealing a god?”

“…!”

He’s laughing while resting his chin. He’s laughing as if he’s happy, but his narrowed eyes are looking at Isaac as if they’re about to rip him apart and kill him right now.

Kukkuk.

At the boiling murderous holy power, the priests couldn’t control their bodies and trembled.

The bishops belonging to the Red family understood the family head’s anger.

“Don’t high-ranking gods usually only make contracts with one person!”

“If that bastard makes a contract, the God of Criminal Justice… the Red won’t be able to wield him!”

“No-“

They looked at the Eshua family with a hopeful face.

“The Blue wouldn’t welcome the Red God, would they?”

“Immediately break the contract…!”

“Haha, of course they’ll break the contract. Something so obvious…”

“Why would we?”

…What?

The head of the Blue House had his eyebrows raised. And the Eshua family couldn’t hold back their laughter instead.

They had no choice.

‘What is the Pope’s condition?’

The Pope was someone who could embrace all Five Faiths. It’s not for nothing that the Cardinals voluntarily wear the black priestly robes, which are prisoners’ clothes, and pledge loyalty to the Pope.

Of course, even so, successive Popes only made contracts with the Gold God.

‘No, actually, it might be that they can only make contracts with the Gold God.’

The head of the Blue House, who had been with the Pope since childhood, narrowed his brows.

Anyway, it meant that there had never been a Pope who truly embraced the gods of all Five Faiths.

But what about Isaac!

Doesn’t it mean he can truly embrace the Five Faiths?

‘There must be meaning in the Supreme God choosing him too.’

Then how can the corners of the mouth not rise? Hmm?

At the corners of the Eshua family’s mouths rising proudly, the Red priests’ eyes were bloodshot.

‘Gods only make contracts with one person per generation.’

‘Does he think the Supreme God is his anyway? Is that why he’s relaxed!’

The Red bishops stepped forward as if they couldn’t back down. They couldn’t let the Red’s prestige crumble and cause harm to those belonging to the Red.

Of course, it was doubtful whether the other party would listen, but the other party was Eshua. If they persistently cling to principles, they would listen. So the Red bishops went hard on purpose.

“This is a violation of the law! Taking someone else’s god without morality or decency!”

“That’s right. Do you think it makes sense for Eshua to take Sephet’s god?”

“This is an absurd situation, so return…”

“Well, isn’t there a reason for everything?”

“…?!”

At Lilai’s smile, the faces of the Red bishops twitched for a moment.

They had no choice.

Didn’t they say something similar to the Blue?

-Well, there’s a reason for everything. If that child is executed, there must be a good reason for it.

In fact, as if aiming for that, Lilai lifted the corners of his mouth.

“There must be a good reason for this too.”

“!”

…This green brat! Is he ridiculing them by throwing back their own words?

The Red bishops looked at the head of the Blue House as if telling him to discipline that impudent child right away, but all they heard was a chilling voice.

“What are you doing? If you understand, get lost.”

…These damn!

* * *

“Aaargh! You, what have you done!”

Shuri grabbed his head and suffered. Of all things, he stole the god of another faith. It was unprecedented!

“Didn’t you see all the Red priests glaring only at you! The Blue lacks its own members, why do you keep making enemies!”

“They’re not glaring, they’re probably having a mental breakdown after losing their guardian god. Haha!”

This crazy bastard, really!

Shuri had a lot he wanted to say, but as if that wasn’t important, he grabbed Isaac.

“More importantly, the Supreme God!”

“What?”

“Why didn’t you make a contract with the Supreme God? Was it really because you still lack holy power to summon the Supreme God with your current power? Huh? Is that it? So the Red God?”

No, that’s not it.

‘The Supreme God?’

He could summon him. He would have exhausted all his holy power, but anyway, it was possible.

‘This body isn’t the Saint’s body for nothing.’

The Supreme God being summoned was calmly enjoying the God of Criminal Justice’s reaction. When that god tried to make a contract with the God of Criminal Justice, he tried to descend as if telling him to choose him quickly.

But who cares?

For now, I kicked him away.

‘I have to be cautious. A god whose purpose and intentions are unknown is put on hold for now.’

[Isn’t it just because you’ve caused a lot of accidents?]

Yeah, shut up.

Rather, what’s worrying is the Eshua matter the God of Criminal Justice mentioned.

-Don’t get too attached to Eshua.

What does that mean?

Of course, at a glance, it seems he’s saying that to interfere. But Isaac knew that look in the God of Criminal Justice’s eyes well.

It must have been when Isaac was in the divine realm as the Skeleton King.

-Skeleton King, what are those? Those pigs?

-Aren’t they cute? They lost their mother and were crying from hunger, so I’m raising them while feeding them. I’m going to ride them later when they grow up.

-Hmm… Don’t get too attached.

-What?

Yes, the gods. These damn bastards!

In the end, they caught and ate the pigs someone else was raising well!

And the God of Criminal Justice’s eyes were the same as then.

Well, it wasn’t incomprehensible.

The guardians of faith were originally those who had to give their lives for god. Especially the Blue, who fight on the front lines, would have an even greater risk of dying in battle.

Of course, the Blue’s main god was kind to the Skeleton King too, and judging by his personality, he didn’t seem like the type to exploit his followers.

But there’s no way other gods will stay still either. So there’s no way he would like it.

‘The bastards are trying to touch my things again.’

[Was it Master’s?]

It’s mine!

Eshua’s property, land, troops, honor! Everything is mine!

What kind of place is Eshua! Isn’t it the place that will become the foundation of the Isaac Empire!

‘They dare to touch what will be mine in the future when I become the family head?’

But meanwhile, Shuri seemed quite disappointed.

“Still, I thought I could see the Supreme God.”

Other apprentices were happy, saying, ‘It’s fortunate he didn’t summon the Supreme God!’, ‘With this, we have a chance too!’, ‘We won’t get beaten up!’, but Shuri seemed a bit regretful.

“Now we can’t see the Supreme God?”

It was then.

“No. You’ll be able to see him soon.”

“!”

Shuri was startled by the unexpected voice.

The owner of the voice was the Gold Cardinal.

“Congratulations. You tied for 1st place in the Black Pentagon rankings.”

The 1st place in the Black Pentagon was Isaac, Kina, and Shuri. They were all main god-level of each faith, so superiority couldn’t be determined.

“I don’t like the tie for 1st place, but it’s fine since it’s the Blue.”

[Wow, those are the kind of guys who think the Gold will naturally take 1st place.]

Whisper said it made him want to vomit, but Shuri was having his pupils shaking.

‘…Uncle. He could make such a voice?’

My god, look at that honey-dripping voice. He’s so head over heels for Isaac, he doesn’t know what to do.

He even said it’s fine since it’s the Blue?

Did I mishear something?

No, that wasn’t all.

“It was a magnificent move. Eating up the Red family like that.”

“Admirable! Come to our side after your apprenticeship ends. We’ll treat you well.”

The Gold noble priests who disliked Isaac were also smiling kindly at Isaac.

‘Well, it’s understandable.’

For the Gold, thanks to Isaac, they could suppress the Red family, so how pretty must Isaac look to them?

As long as he doesn’t make a contract only with the Supreme God, as long as there’s no possibility of Isaac becoming the Pope, as long as Eshua can’t soar. Anything is fine.

The Gold Cardinal reached out his hand as if telling him to keep the Red in check together.

“We’ll make a good team.”

A team? Did he say a team just now?

The Gold? With the Blue?

‘Are you crazy, Gold?’

“And you haven’t forgotten the deal, right? Now hand over the Supreme God. The price will be much higher than promised.”

The words as if bestowing generosity were annoying, but Shuri narrowed his brows as he looked at Isaac.

‘Not just anyone… It’s this guy of all people. There’s no way he’ll give the Supreme God…’

“Yeah, I’ll give it to you.”

“What, man?!”

Shuri reflexively shouted.

But Isaac snapped his fingers.

“It’s good, but give me the price first. You said you’ll give the God of Wealth, right?”

That damn God of Wealth!

Shuri looked at Isaac as if he was going to grab his collar, but he didn’t even care.

The Gold Cardinal took out a small box from his bosom.

“Well. Fine. When you become Pope, you can make contracts with several, but you probably can’t.”

“!”

Each person had a contractable capacity.

‘With this guy’s current state, at most he can handle one high-ranking god.’

In the first place, even if he hadn’t made a contract with the God of Criminal Justice, it would have been quite burdensome.

‘Well, there’s a way for the Supreme God to adjust to Isaac. But why would the Supreme God lower himself to make a contract with this little brat?’

“So I’ll give you the God of Wealth’s summoning stone so you can use it without a contract.”

Shuri was startled by the item the Gold Cardinal presented.

‘The Gold family’s Tutelary Stone!’

The Tutelary Stone had a tutelary deity, a god residing within a sacred object designated as its shrine.

Moreover, it could be summoned at any time to receive the god’s blessing without a contract, and it was an extremely precious god as it brought good fortune to the territory.

‘The Berit’s tutelary stone is no ordinary item. It’s at the level of bestowing blessings on a large territory!’

It had the power to make the land itself prosper, so it was worth more than ten million gold.

Moreover, since the God of Wealth lives in that stone, wealth can be increased without consuming holy power! Isaac’s eyes had no choice but to roll back.

“The god I serve has informed it, so it will respond to your words and obey only your words.”

“I just need to summon the Supreme God?”

“Isaac!”

[Master, are you really going to transfer him?]

At those words, Isaac grinned.

‘To be precise, it’s not a transfer. I’m trying to figure out the Supreme God’s purpose.’

The Papacy will naturally want to make a contract with the Supreme God, but a guy at the Supreme God’s level won’t easily make a contract.

Then they’ll start slowly coaxing the Supreme God, and in that process, Isaac will be able to find out the Supreme God’s purpose too.

‘I don’t associate with annoying guys. I’ll accept him maybe 1,000 years later if I feel like it. Anyway, there’s a capacity limit, and there are many other gods I want to make contracts with besides the Supreme God.’

[Who else are you trying to do it with?]

‘The Blue’s God of Wealth, the Black’s God of Wealth, the White’s God of Wealth, the Red’s God of Wealth. And so on, the wealth gods of other faiths…’

[…They’re all wealth gods anyway…]

‘Haha, money is the best! I’ll sell the Supreme God expensively later.’

It was right then.

“Now that I gave you the tutelary stone, you too hand over the Supreme God to this side…”

The moment Isaac received the tutelary stone, from the Gold Cardinal. A hot breath was felt behind Isaac’s back.

‘!’

As if the wind was descending, someone gently embraced Isaac’s neck.

It was none other than the Supreme God’s energy. But that energy disappeared immediately.

And when I thought what had happened-

“Huh?”

Everyone’s gaze turned to Isaac’s hand.

“Huh huh huh?!”

So, on the back of Isaac’s left hand…

“The Supreme God’s contract mark?!”

“What?”

The eyes of the stunned Gold priests widened.

“Wait, you’re making a dual contract with high-ranking gods?”

Isaac’s eyes also widened.

“Damn it, what is this!”

[The Supreme God has made a contract.]

What?

What the hell?!
