Untitled Part 158

'Were you managing the continent with your feet?'

[It's not that. My... My proud Honorary Cardinal Lee Kiyoung. And those words are blasphemy.]

She had denied that this wasn't the case, but I thought otherwise.

How on Earth did they manage to instantly ruin the continent that had been doing well for so long?

I could understand the bankruptcy of Benignore alone, but the news that everyone who was in control of the continent was collapsing alarmed me.

I wasn't exactly sure if the example was appropriate, but the continent was like a workshop to the sky's beings.

They gained divinity through the continent and managed it with that divinity. Of course, there were many things to use it on. They also had to keep demons in check and solve natural phenomena.

I could also assume that some of the divine powers used by priests used their divinity.

Besides, the continent already had an adequate amount of population. It didn't increase easily anymore. Many divinities could be accepted in such a continent, but they would be limited.

Although knowing that, they used it like a parvenu. Such a miserable end could be seen as expected.

She was seriously crying there, but in the end, it turned out to be entirely their fault.

'I can see how it went.'

I wasn't sure if such concepts existed above there, but based on human systems, I thought Benignore borrowed some sort of divinity from that was not enough, she borrowed from the gods of the surrounding kingdoms too.

The gods of the continent eventually needed to use a collective guarantee. Thanks to that, Benignore got her hands on divinity from external parties.

She would've been happy for a while. She must've been enjoying a good life with abundant divine nature. However, that happiness lasted for only a second.

After a certain duration, the divinity coming from the outside became a problem. It was no different than calling it the IMF exploding in the sky.

I was able to understand to some extent why Benignore was so friendly.

'She's worried about being doomed. Phew... That's amazing. Amazing.'

Even now, the divinity must be fixedly entering.

It was natural that the number of believers would decrease as soon as the story that the fallen god Benignore had become evil-polluted and crazy.

A mob might even come in to smash the statue of Benignore, who was being driven by evil spirits. Of course, that was only if Operation Benignore worked well, but even if it were only half-successful, it would be threatening enough for Benignore, who was struggling because she couldn't afford to send a quest.

I didn't know what the consequences would be when all the gods' divinities had been depleted, but no matter how I thought about it, it wasn't a good situation.

They could disappear or fall to the ground.

"Am I right?"

[...]

"Well, well... Our Goddess Benignore seems to be having a lot of trouble right now."

[That's why you're a quick-witted dog...]

"I beg your pardon?"

[No... That's not right. Believer Lee Kiyoung. Most of them are correct, but I've always been friendly to you.]
