I’m Going to Destroy this Country

[Master, you seem to be in a good mood.]

At Whisper’s words, Isaac laughed.

Seem to be in a good mood?

Isn’t that obvious?

Grandpa said that to become the family head, you just need to be acknowledged by the Blue god, but it was actually a bit tricky.

Why?

‘The Blue gods are a bit stubborn? It won’t be easy to make them acknowledge me.’

[You said you’re friends with the God of Light? If the chief god acknowledges you, everyone will acknowledge you.]

‘Yes, the God of Light likes me. Still, there are cases where they say ‘anyone but this guy’. No matter what, you don’t entrust a fish store to a cat.’

Entrusting the family to the Skeleton King?

Destruction of doctrine is a given, if you slightly displease him, it was obvious he would say things like ‘Hey. If you don’t want to see your people’s blood gushing out, listen to me.’

Of course, Isaac was also thinking of not causing trouble as much as possible and accommodating the Blue god since the Pope is the goal.

‘But to be acknowledged, I have to follow that boring doctrine and do good deeds to be acknowledged.’

[Wasn’t that the part the head intended in the first place…?]

‘Ah, I don’t want to. When have I ever knelt and prayed while eating grass.’

There’s also the option of raising my magic skills and knocking down the gods… But it’s good if it gets resolved nicely.

But unexpectedly, it seemed like things would be resolved easily.

-The revival of the vision.

The words he shouted at his uncle half provokingly seemed to have stimulated the head.

-Yes, if you revive the vision, even the Blue god won’t be able to not acknowledge you.

-Father!

-It’s something the previous generations have devoted their lives to. It’s a sore spot for Eshua. Well, fine. If you revive the vision, I’ll acknowledge that as a qualification for the family head too.

-Father!

-It’s something that will save Eshua, what more can be acknowledged than that?

Yes, in short, it meant he would acknowledge the revival of the vision too.

He’s probably saying that because he knows that to use the vision, you have to be well-versed in the Blue doctrine.

-Then Grandpa, you won’t go to the land of True Demons?

-That’s a separate issue.

Well, the real problem is that the family head only took it as his grandson’s cute act.

‘Indeed, even I wouldn’t believe it honestly.’

The revival of the vision is Eshua’s long-cherished wish, but it was something the heads failed over several generations. Can you readily believe a young child saying he will revive it?

As the family head, he would be happy just with the thought that he said he would revive the vision to protect his grandfather.

‘Well, if you don’t believe it, I’ll make you believe.’

If I become able to use the vision, Noel won’t be able to act high and mighty either.

Moreover, ultimately, I need to make Eshua the strongest so that they become my pawns and I can suppress the Pope.

That’s why Isaac headed to the Blue Temple.

“Ah, did the youngest young master come!”

As soon as the Blue knights saw Isaac, they greeted him, and Isaac entered the innermost prayer room.

The prayer room used by the direct descendants basically had tight security. Once you entered, no one could know what you were doing inside.

As soon as Isaac entered the prayer room, he sat cross-legged, dusting off his priest robes. If Shuri were here, he would have gaped, saying he should kneel, but who cares about that?

“Now, shall we call a god?”

[Wow, could it be that you’re going to pray to a god?!]

No? Are you crazy?

Pray to a measly god?

[If you don’t pray, the god won’t respond?]

Haha, there’s someone who will come running immediately even without doing that. Isaac drew up holy power, clasping his hands together.

Then, blue flames erupted on the altar. It was a signal of calling a god. A god could only be summoned like this by praying in the sanctuary.

This is exactly what Shuri was doing. The very thing where you have to purify your mind and body by eating only herbs to summon them.

‘Well, in fact, there are hardly any opportunities to see a god directly unless it’s a contract ceremony.’

Unless it’s a special occasion like a contract ceremony, a god is not summoned. Even normally, the only one who can directly summon a god is the Pope, who is a demigod.

In other words, calling a god usually meant hearing the god’s voice or using their authority.

Even that is only possible for 5th or 6th rank. Bishop rank and above.

It wasn’t for nothing that the Eshua people were surprised when Isaac blew away Noel with the power of the God of Criminal Justice.

And communicating with a god requires even deeper faith than using a god’s power, but…

“God of Criminal Justice, come out while I’m asking nicely?”

As Isaac called the god he contracted with, the blue flames burned fiercely.

Whoosh!

At that sight, Whisper said a word.

[Will the God of Criminal Justice even respond? Even if you made a contract, Master has no faith or anything…]

If you could summon a god just because you made a contract, Shuri wouldn’t have had a hard time.

Moreover, if the Blue god can be summoned if you’re faithful, doesn’t the God of Criminal Justice need to follow the rules to be summoned?

But Isaac grinned.

‘Screw the rules.’

Even without that, he’s a guy who will come if I summon him.

[…Is he a close friend like the God of Light?]

No, I didn’t do much to the God of Criminal Justice.

I just knocked him down because he was impudent.

[Ah, come to think of it, the God of Criminal Justice was the one who came to punish Master when he was a newbie?]

Yes. I put him to sleep nicely then, and after that, he listened well. Instead, he asked me not to tell anyone that he lost to me.

‘It’s natural because he’s an elite guy.’

Rather, that’s why it was good to exploit him.

He’s a proud elite guy, so he tried to die of humiliation, but he still did everything Isaac told him to do. When Isaac was in the divine realm, he was good at stealing information about the gods’ affairs.

Yes, even now, if he called him like this, he’ll come running…

[He’s not coming?]

This damn bastard?

* * *

Around that time.

[I’m going crazy.]

The God of Criminal Justice was having a headache.

The God of Criminal Justice is a high-ranking god renowned in the divine realm. At his expression, the lower-ranking gods who attended to him were restless with worry.

[The Lord has been sighing a lot these days.]

[Well. It’s understandable. Many gods have gone missing, and True Demons are running amok in the human world.]

[Is it the Skeleton King’s doing?]

[No way, how can a guy who was sealed long ago threaten the gods?]

[That’s fortunate at least. If he had become human as the Skeleton King demanded, there would have been no way to deal with him.]

[That’s why the chief god hastily sealed him, right? He even tried to steal the Supreme God’s power? If he had gained that power too, how uncontrollable would he have become?]

[No way, the Skeleton King is already sealed, so what’s the problem?]

Hearing those words, the God of Criminal Justice had no choice but to grab his head.

Damn it! That Skeleton King isn’t sealed!

He’s in the Holy Empire with the body of a Saint, the masterpiece of the gods!

Even the great Supreme God is attending to that guy, so we can’t even touch him!

‘The gods are raising that guy’s power!’

But unable to tell the truth, the God of Criminal Justice only beat his chest.

Honestly, he didn’t dislike the Skeleton King that much. Unlike the Gold gods, he acknowledged the Skeleton King’s skills.

In the first place, the reason he first confronted the Skeleton King was because the Gold gods, his main force, picked a fight to take away the demon’s land. After that, when they finally made peace, they deceived him just to seal a Skeleton King.

As the God of Criminal Justice who upholds the rules, there was no way he could like their behavior.

In other words, because they also had original sin, the God of Criminal Justice had been pretending not to know that the Skeleton King was in the human world.

No, not pretending, but outright protecting him. Even saying with a silver tongue to the gods that he’s an excellent Saint. The problem is that he’s the only one suffering.

It was then.

-God of Criminal Justice, come out while I’m asking nicely.

At the familiar voice, the God of Criminal Justice frowned. Why are you telling me to come when I’m under stress because of you?

The God of Criminal Justice tried to ignore it.

But.

-If you don’t come out in 10 seconds, I don’t know what I’ll do either.

…Damn it.

The God of Criminal Justice concentrated his consciousness while kicking out his subordinates.

-What is it?

Meanwhile, Isaac, who was in the prayer room, grinned. As the God of Criminal Justice responded, a change occurred in the burning flames.

The blue flames transformed into the shape of a bird. It meant that the god had responded to the call. So he got straight to the point.

“Did you check the bug as I told you to?”

-Yes, the first thing I checked after making a contract with you.

The God of Criminal Justice wanted to deny reality.

-Surprisingly, the bug is still moving.

Whether the seal was wrong or the cause was unknown. In the first place, that technique was an ancient technique that even the gods couldn’t touch.

-I don’t know who’s inside. There were quite a few gods who were damaged when the technique went out of control when you self-destructed.

There were many gods who lost consciousness and are still sleeping.

Well, everyone blamed it on the Skeleton King, but the God of Criminal Justice didn’t think it was the Skeleton King’s doing.

‘There’s something else.’

Someone trying to frame the Skeleton King.

-Anyway, I don’t know who it is, but one of the sleeping gods…

“The God of Light will be there.”

-…What?!

The God of Criminal Justice was startled.

-Who’s there?!

“Why else would the Blue be weakened? I’m telling you, the God of Light is there.”

The God of Criminal Justice grabbed the back of his neck.

No, the God of Light is one of the sleeping gods, but still!

‘Of all things, the Blue god that the Gold gods are trying to push out is there…?’

-The gods didn’t know that? But the God of Light is the main god?

As the God of Criminal Justice showed a startled look, Isaac grinned.

“In fact, you didn’t know either. It might not have been to trap only me in the bug in the first place.”

-!

The God of Criminal Justice spoke, hiding his startled look.

-Anyway… I understand the situation. But that’s an ancient ritual that even the gods absolutely can’t undo. In the first place, it’s not a seal made to be undone.

“It’s fine, just tell me the sealing ceremony. I can undo it.”

-…!

The God of Criminal Justice gulped.

Indeed, if it’s the Skeleton King, he would be able to undo even the ancient techniques. He was that kind of guy.

“Well, before that, I’ll talk to her first. In that sense, I have a favor to ask.”

-What is it?

“Nothing much, just give me some of your elixirs. The ones you give as gifts to Cardinal-level people?”

-…Why?

“The Blue has received so little from the gods that they don’t even have such elixirs. I’m trying to summon the Blue god, but the kids are so scrawny. What’s the point if they can’t even summon the Blue god?”

In short, it meant he called to extort items. The God of Criminal Justice spoke as if annoyed.

-You think I’ll give it to you, not some other human?

“You forgot who I made a contract with besides you, didn’t you?”

The God of Criminal Justice fell silent.

Right. He made a contract with the Supreme God… Damn it.

“If you get it, send it right away.”

-As if I’ll submit to those words…

“I’ll corrupt all the Red priests.”

-Wait a minute…!

“I’ll give you 10 seconds. 10, 3, 2, 1…”

Beep.

Isaac immediately cut off the communication with the god.

He could faintly hear the sound of the God of Criminal Justice banging his head against the wall.
