The Newbie God Is Summoning Heroes From Earth [World Creation/ Management]

Controlling the Peak Level 2 clone he possessed, Cedric activated the energy inside it and tried to summon a small tornado.

Most of the mana stored inside that clone's body began to flow out and turned into a ten meter tall tornado that sucked the surrounding items.

After a minute, the tornado disappeared while the clone's mana began to recover on its own.

"Well, this is quite disappointing. I could do much more with a wave of my hand." Cedric said while creating a massive tornado in Divine Space.

Seeing an area of the Divine Space that had been ruined by the tornado, Cedric rubbed his chin. "Except for an additional feeling of energy flowing out of me when I activated blessed power, there is no difference between them."

After testing the wind magic, Cedric removed the clone and all of the traces of his experiments. Although the clone is no longer there, its data has been stored in the godhood, so Cedric could create another one anytime he wanted.

Feeling a massive sense of achievement upon seeing the result of his hard work, Cedric controlled his mental power to enter the Crystal Cube world.

When his mental power arrived at the Winter City, Cedric found the whole city was in a state of tension.

Inside the palace, Lacius and many of his subordinates are hurrying about. From their conversation, they are preparing to deploy the army.

Cedric silently watched the scene while trying to understand the situation. It seems unknowingly, he has skipped another important event while he is focused on learning.

Although difficult and time consuming, Cedric's observation yielded results, as he has found the problem.

Staring at a small temple at Winter City that had been burned to the ground, he felt his heart tightening.

Not because he felt it was a pity that a temple worshiping him had been burned. But because he found out Lacius and Tsukiko had somehow split up and turned hostile against each other.

With his Divine Sight, Cedric saw the moment that the temple had been burned to the ground.

Following the clue, he continued to activate Past Observation until he saw a meeting inside Winter City's palace around four years ago.

Led by Lacius who has turned even older and has many wrinkles on his face. Several nobles with high standing in the human race discussed the temple Tsukiko has created.

They felt the influence of the temple had been growing increasingly stronger and it began to encroach on the king's authority.

Those nobles implore Lacius to disband the temple and show his authority as a king.

After a long meeting, Lacius decided to send a message to Tsukiko. The message consisted of his request for Tsuiko to surrender the temple's independence and place it under the direct jurisdiction of the kingdom.

Tsukiko who received that message is unwilling.

For her decade of hard work to be taken with a single word, she simply couldn't accept that. Although in the early stage, the temple indeed received much support from the kingdom. However, it has become independent and even returned the support many times over thanks to Tsukiko's hard work.

After a few years of peace that's more akin to the calm before a storm, the hostility between the temple and kingdom has begun to aggravate.

Deactivating his Past Observation, Cedric messaged his forehead.

While he is learning human anatomy and energy circulation, the human race has once more caused another trouble.

Luckily, he arrived just in time. If he found out about it a year or two later, things would've taken a turn for the worse.

Rubbing his chin, Cedric prepared his countermeasure for this event.

To be honest, he hasn't quite understood why this mess is happening.

Cedric might be getting better at creating things, but his knowledge in the study of the human mind is still pretty basic. It's like a biology major might not be good at sociology.

So, he decided to send a screen to Lacius to ask for further information.

Of course, he wished to keep some of his dignity, so Cedric asked as if he was questioning Lacius's decision.

[Why do you wage another war?]

Sitting on his throne, Lacius seems to be unperturbed by the message Cedric sent and calmly answers. "I must do it. Otherwise, more and more people will begin to slight my status as the king of the human race. At that time, the situation will be much more chaotic than it is."

He looked at the throne room that's currently empty. "Those nobles are testing me. I could see some of them have gotten restless since a long time ago. They think I am old and have become a pushover. If things continue like this, I am afraid an internal strife will happen and the kingdom will be split."

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Cedric feels Lacius's answer is pretty logical. He doesn't quite understand political matters. So, Cedric can only let things happen as it is while leaving a warning to Lacius.

[Alright. But don't cause too much death and misery to the people.]

"I understood." Lacius bowed toward the screen and sat back down on his throne.

Sitting alone in the empty throne room, Lacius rested his back on the throne while staring at the massive mirror next to him.

On it, the reflection of an old man with sharp and dignified eyes can be seen.

Looking at his own reflection, Lacius closed his eyes. 'I've been getting more and more frail. Time... what a fearsome thing.'

***

After giving his warning to Lacius, Cedric realized his [Divine Intervention: Word] had run out of energy.

Retrieving his mental power, Cedric purchased another [Divine Intervention: Word], and looked around the human territory for Alan.

In the fight between Lacius and Tsukiko, Cedric felt he couldn't decide which side he should take. Which led him to choose to be neutral and simply watch things progress on their own.

This time, he will focus on this matter and quickly take a move when the event has progressed in a bad direction.

Cedric has a gut feeling that he will get even more busy in the future, and a time when he couldn't constantly observe the world might come. So, he wished the race in the Crystal Cube world - especially the humans - to learn how to handle their own mess.

While lost in thought, he finally found Alan who actually has returned to Winter City after creating his training method.

It's been more than a decade since he last saw Alan when he successfully created the training method. The middle aged man at that time has now turned into an old man in his seventies.

In the Crystal Cube world with a low technological level. Even with Cedric's blessing, many disasters like famine and plagues still happen and greatly lower the average life expectancy of the inhabitants.

This made Alan who has lived for seventy years be among the oldest humans currently alive.

Right now, he lives idly while opening a small shop in the city.

Even though his business looks quite prosperous. Alan's face is constantly frowning from worries and confusion.

Cedric activated Divine Sight and checked Alan's progress.

[Life Level: Peak level 1
Potential: Lower level 1]

'As expected of the one who has invented the training method. He has reached the peak of level 1.' Cedric observed Alan's energy circulation and concluded. 'It seems he hasn't found a method to reach the second level.

Cedric rubbed his chin and decided to send a message to Alan.

[Greeting, pioneer.]

Inside the Crystal Cube world, Alan looked around when he saw the screen that appeared in front of him. "Who?!"

The people around him looked at Alan who shouted while staring at thin air.

Ignoring his customer's weird look, Alan's eyes are always locked on the screen Cedric sent.

After recalling a story, Alan's expression changed and he quickly closed his store. "Sorry, I've gotten older and felt exhausted today. The store will be closing for now, please visit again later."

When everyone had left the store, Alan bowed. "Alan has met the creator god."

Cedric isn't surprised that Alan knew about him.
Since the creator god's temple, which is the temple worshiping him, has been created. Tsukiko often wrote some sacred scripture and whatnot that shows his legends. Nowadays, many people in the Crystal Cube world know he will occasionally send revelations to the creatures in the world through dreams or screens.

After he bowed, Alan didn't wait for a response from Cedric. He immediately rambled on and on. "Respected creator, have I done the right thing? I want my discovery to bring goods to the world and advance the human race's power in case of another demon attack. Yet, if things go on like this, and internal war in the human race indeed happens, my discovery will only result in more deaths than even the fiercest demon attack …."

Cedric scratched his head upon hearing Alan's worries. 'I am just here to discuss the training method he discovered before. Why did it suddenly turn into a venting session?'

Although Cedric said so, he still listened to Alan who continued to talk to himself. "... by the time I returned, the two people I respected had gone astray from the right path. One of them got drunk in power while the other gave himself up to lust. Oo creator, have what I achieved been for naught?"

Cedric got a bit dazed amid Alan's rambling. But he still gets the gist of what Alan talked about.

Alan is basically in his late life crisis after he returned to human civilization a few years ago and found Tsukiko and Yuma had greatly changed.

Seeing Tsukiko focus too much on the temple, while Yuma has retired into a farmer while living with his wives in the countryside has shocked Alan senseless.

After returning to Winter City, he shared his training method with Lacius and Tsukiko in the hope they would teach them to their subordinate and help cull the demons in the world.

Although the amount and strength of demons has drastically decreased after they successfully defeated the demon king. But, it doesn't mean the demon has gone extinct. They still occasionally appear around places with slightly thicker NE density.

Tsukiko and Lacius gladly took it and taught their respective subordinates the training method.

Then, Alan retreated back to the gorge and trained until he felt he had reached a limit. Feeling he wouldn't be able to strengthen himself any further, he decided to return to civilization once more.

By the time he visited Winter City once more, the situation between the kingdom and temple had turned extremely tense. Now that war seems inevitable, Alan's worries increase once more. He is afraid his training method will cause the inevitable battle to be more intense than it should be.

To be honest, Cedric felt Alan had been thinking too much.

According to his research on the training method. The method Alan created actually requires suitable talent, a suitable place, and a bit of personalization to be used to their utmost potential.

The training speed of its user is limited by their potential, how much mana contained in the wind at the place they trained, their affinity with the winds, and how much they could personalize the energy circulation based on the condition of their own body.

Anyway, Alan is worrying too much. Even if he shared those techniques, only a limited number of people could follow it to increase their level. So, Cedric simply replied with some warm and comforting words.

[There is no need to worry. What will be will be. You've made a great contribution by selflessly sharing the training method you've discovered. After all, a society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they never sit.]

He even slapped some proverb he had heard in his past life to comfort Alan. He can only hope for the best and for Alan to quickly regain his vigor.

After giving Alan a word of comfort, Cedric recalled his main objective for contacting Alan and prepared to send the continuation of Alan's training method.

With the continuation, Alan should be able to reach level 2 and regain some of his youth to continue his experiment.

Cedric has a gut feeling that the training method Alan created can still be greatly optimized. Whether it's in terms of generalization, removing the limitation on geographic location, decreasing the requirement for wind affinity, changing the element affinity required to use that method, or other aspects.

At that time, the creature in the Crystal Cube world may use that training method to quickly increase their strength and contribute more GP for him.

It's just his creativity is limited and Cedric has reached a bottleneck on his research.

He needed help and inspiration from other people, and who else is more suitable to be the source of inspiration than the creator of that training method himself.
