I’m Going to Destroy this Country

The chief of the Blue gods.

In other words, the God of Light was the Skeleton King’s close friend.

[Were she really close friends with Master?]

Yes.

He knew her since his Skeleton days, and he saw her quite often even after becoming the Demon King.

-Skeleton King! Did you burn our garden again! Today, I’ll definitely kill you!

She was an affectionate one, so she cried a lot too.

-The Skeleton King borrowed money again and didn’t pay it back…

While the other gods all secretly feared and hated the Skeleton King’s existence, the God of Light pitied him.

-Skeleton… When on earth will you become human?

She was the one who even wished for him to become human.

[…No, the meaning seems completely different??]

Anyway, we quarreled a lot, but the God of Light protected the Skeleton King’s life, and the Skeleton King repaid her just as much.

-God of Light, God of Light. Since I saved your life this time, give me half of your wealth.

-Suck on a flea’s liver! You bald skeleton!

-What? Hey, give me all of it.

Anyway, the Skeleton King, the God of Criminal Justice, and the God of Light.

The three of us were close.

When I was in the divine realm, I received help from those two almost always.

Yeah… Like money, for example. Money…

[Are you really friends?!]

Anyway, the God of Light was one of the gods he thought quite well of. Unlike the greedy bastards, she was conscientious and reasonable.

In fact, that’s also why Isaac had no aversion to Eshua.

If it’s the Blue where the God of Light is the chief god, he thought it would be bearable even if it’s a priest family.

[…You just said you don’t feel the god’s energy, what a blessing.]

Hey, no matter what, it’s a priest family. How could it be good without the god’s blessing?

[Haah, you said it’s f*cking great…]

Anyway, it was true that the god’s energy wasn’t felt well unlike other families.

Is that all?

The gods aren’t stupid, but even if they’re stupid, the Skeleton King was born into their family. Wouldn’t the Blue god know that?

[That’s true too.]

In other words, Isaac had long noticed that there must be a problem with the Blue god. That’s why he thought of putting down roots in the Blue more confidently.

‘Well, I never imagined she would be trapped in a bug.’

If it weren’t for what Shuri said, he would have just thought there was another accident.

The gods’ factional fights were so intense.

[Then what about the contract with Shuri Eshua?]

‘That… After about 150 years, she could barely muster enough strength to start a conversation.’

It could also be a timing issue.

The other Eshua members would have all made contracts by age, and the only Eshua who hadn’t made a contract with a god at the time would have been Shuri.

‘If not, it could be because Kim Shuri was my close aide.’

[Ohh, then could it be that she requested the Master for rescue?]

No way?

‘Even so, the Skeleton King was born in Eshua. The guy who will destroy the family is sitting firmly, how scared would they be! They must have desperately sent signals to Kim Shuri, begging to stop the Skeleton King! Haha!’

But there’s no way!

‘Eshua is mine.’

I’ll devour Eshua and change the damn doctrine and family tradition, and make them perish with luxury!

So for now, I’ll meet the Blue god and tell her to acknowledge me as the family head!

Heh! What a good deal this is!

I will specially become the family head and revive Eshua on my own, would she hate that?

“So, hurry up and summon the Blue god! Kim Shuri!”

“…”

“I’ll be here tearing into meat, so you hurry up and pray!”

…Should I kill that bastard?

Veins popped on the face of Shuri, who was calming his mind at the waterfall of the Blue Temple.

The place Shuri is currently in is the Blue training room.

It’s similar to closed-door training, where they do mental training in cave-like single rooms.

The food is also close to fasting, eating only grains close to grass and controlling the mind…

“Heh, eating outside makes the food delicious too.”

…Renewing respect for the god, training holy power…

“Ah, but I don’t like tough meat, so I’ll give it to Kim Shuri.”

…Training.

“Ah, this cake is really delicious too. Ah, Kim Shuri, you lost focus again. You can’t take the senior priest exam like this.”

…Snap.

“Sigh, at this rate, it will take months to summon the Blue god.”

“Damn it! Would you be able to focus if you were me! You bastard!”

Shuri kicked the waterfall as if pissed off.

Isaac was eating snacks in the middle of the single room.

“Why are you here doing this instead of training!”

“Because I’m waiting for you to summon the Blue god?”

“Why don’t you summon it!”

“Hmm, the Blue gods probably don’t like me much? I’m quite far from the Blue doctrine.”

“At least you know that!”

Your self-reflection is so excellent that it brings tears to my eyes!

Shuri grabbed the back of his neck.

Of course, Isaac being here wasn’t a hindrance. He’s annoying but his eyes are like a ghost’s, so when Shuri trains divine techniques, he points out the mistakes clearly.

‘I feel my divine technique skills rising every time I listen to that guy, but…’

With this, he would be able to pass the senior priest exam, which is essential to becoming a Cardinal.

Usually, when it comes to the Five Major Families, as soon as they pass the apprenticeship, they prepare for the senior priest. In other words, the 6th rank or higher.

The exorcist priest is called the flower of the priests, so its meaning is different from others.

But still!

“If you want to meet the Blue god, leave me alone for a bit!”

“No. But looking at you, it seems like it will take not a month, but ten years…”

“Aaaah!”

Shuri tried to grab Isaac’s collar as if in anger.

But there was no malice in Isaac’s words. And above all, Shuri himself knew it too well.

Although he made a contract with the God of Light, summoning was a separate story and an area that was still difficult for him.

But he’s doing his best to train to become the head!

“Don’t worry, Kim Shuri. You’re talented! If you do as I say, ten years can be reduced to half a month!”

“First, get the cake out of your mouth!”

But there was someone who was dissatisfied with those words.

“Is he intentionally bringing an object of distraction and directly eating it to train him…”

It was Kina.

Surprisingly, he was standing with his arms crossed at the entrance. And with murderous eyes, as if looking at a rival, Shuri…

“I could already summon the Gold god when I was 10! Instead of teaching that kind of thing, teach me, Eshua!”

Shuri had no choice but to hold his face.

Damn it, Isaac is enough, why even Kina!

Standing at the entrance, he looked envious of Shuri and at the same time displeased.

As if he was more outstanding, but why is he teaching Shuri?

“Why can’t you still summon a god?”

“Originally, you have to be at least a bishop level to summon a god.”

“What? You taught him, but he’s still not a bishop level?!”

“I know, that’s why I’m having a hard time. What a family.”

“Then teach me instead of that guy!”

These damn bastards…!!

“He’s even eating food forbidden for priests to teach that guy!”

Shuri was dumbfounded.

No. That guy is just eating because he wants to eat?!

Moreover, for some unknown reason, even if that bastard commits such taboos, his power overflows instead?

‘That bastard doesn’t even pray?!’

It’s unfair. It’s damn unfair! Of course, apart from that, he seems to be diligently training divine techniques, so Grandfather and himself don’t say anything.

But Kina actually sighed.

“Well, no matter how hard you try, the head position will go to Priest Noel anyway.”

Isaac looked at Kina as if to show this.

“Are you picking a fight now as a member of the Pope’s family?”

“No. I like you. You’re the only one equal to me. But the Blue head position is a separate matter.”

“What do you mean?”

“Why do you think I came to the Eshua main residence?”

“…Because you have nothing better to do?”

At Isaac’s words, Kina sighed deeply as if it was too much.

“Originally, I shouldn’t say it, but since it’s you, I’ll tell you specially. It’s not unrelated to you anyway. It’s true that I came to see you, but in fact, I came to see the Blue fammily head on Grandfather’s orders.”

“What? The Pope sent you?”

Isaac’s eyes changed.

“Yes, you could say I’m the Gold envoy.”

“What did you talk about with Grandpa?”

“At the apprentice graduation ceremony. His Holiness said he will take the Supreme God you have.”

“What?! Whose will it be?! …Gasp!”

Shuri was surprised at himself even after cursing.

That’s because Shuri was secretly proud that Isaac made a contract with the Supreme God.

But what do you mean take it?

‘Could it be that because the Crown Prince directly intervened, it became difficult to touch him as the Duke of Berit… So His Holiness the Pope directly stepped up?’

Isaac, who immediately grasped the situation, frowned.

Well, the Supreme God made the contract on its own, so it doesn’t really matter. They have no intention of giving it, and it’s even more unpleasant that the other party is the Pope.

“Even if he’s the supreme power, is it his? Did we entrust it to him? If he’s envious, he should have picked it from the beginning. Why take someone else’s? Do you think we’ll say yes and give it if he asks?”

Isaaaaac!

Please, the words!

The frightened Shuri quickly looked at Kina’s reaction, but-

“That’s right. If Grandfather was envious, he should have picked it. Just asking for it is thuggish.”

Kina! It’s your grandfather!

Shuri’s pupils shook, but Kina continued speaking nonchalantly.

“Of course, he didn’t just ask for it for nothing. The Blue can’t use ‘vision’ right now, right? He said he will help the Blue to be able to use the vision again, so in return, he requested a deal to transfer the Supreme God.”

Ah. Is that how you’re going to play it?

“His Holiness handling the Supreme God is more beneficial for the Empire, and the Blue gets to use the vision again, so it’s a win-win deal.”

No, it’s not.

The Pope isn’t that kind of guy.

Veins popped on Isaac’s face.

If he really thought about the Empire, he would have helped the Blue use the vision long ago instead of secretly doing this and making a deal.

And Shuri also seemed at a loss for words at the mention of the vision.

Indeed, perhaps because the Blue’s divine vein is cut off, unlike other families, they cannot use the vision.

That’s why there are rumors that their power has fallen.

“So… did Grandfather agree?”

As the head, the vision is like an important wish of the family.

It was understandable to agonize over it.

But.

“He flatly refused.”

“…!”

“No matter how much it’s for the family, he said he can’t hand over his grandson’s future.”

As expected of the Blue family head.

Isaac was secretly proud.

But there’s no way the Pope wouldn’t know Elai’s personality.

As expected.

“If you don’t want to hand over the Supreme God, he said it’s okay to replace it with ‘reclaiming the holy land’. Then he can return some of the vision power he has.”

Reclaiming the holy land?

“The Empire’s old holy land taken by the demons. He said to just bring the sacred relics there.”

At those words, Shuri’s face turned pale.

“That’s the nest of True Demons! The difficulty is too high?”

Isaac laughed as if it was trivial.

Ah, so that’s how it is?

‘That Pope bastard is thinking of killing the Blue family head.’

It was just like their proposal.

The family head won’t hand over the Supreme God for Isaac’s future, but the family’s vision is important.

The vision is the faith and the future of the family.

It’s a part the family head can never give up as the family head.

Above all, if they can use the vision, the Blue will soar again.

With the Blue family head’s personality, he will definitely set out to reclaim the holy land instead of giving the Supreme God.

And the land of True Demons?

‘There’s no way the Blue greenhorns can survive.’

No matter how strong the Blue is, how can those without the vision deal with True Demons?

‘The family head would know that too.’

Then there’s a high probability that the family head will set out alone for the Blue.

He won’t let the young ones of the family die.

[Ah, then if the family head dies now, the successor position will naturally go to Noel whatshisname?]

Yes. Then the Blue family head position will be taken by the Pope’s faction, so for the Pope, it’s actually a big gain whether it succeeds or fails.

If it’s underhanded, it’s underhanded.

The Pope would know that he can’t give up because of the vision, so he’s trying to manipulate Eshua.

But what to do?

That vision, I could revive it right away?
