Chapter 115: For a Moment Due to Personal Reasons?
[Your devout believer and temporary apostle, Il-Ho, has sacrificed the Lowest-tier God, One Who Dwells in the Ugliest Filth.]
[Congratulations, God Yu Il-Shin. One Who Dwells in the Ugliest Filth, the god of a world, is a high-ranking sacrifice equivalent to 11 S-rank beings.]
Psss!
The malevolent god slain by Il-Ho disintegrated. Like turbulent waves, its divine power washed over me.
-----
[Quest: Mid-tier Malevolent God Promotion (In Progress)]
Normal sacrifices: 231,289,003/10,000,000,000
Sacrifices of intelligent beings at S-rank and above with potential for transcendence: 34(↑11)/100

Then, as the powers of the fallen malevolent god were assimilated to me...
I finally recalled my identity. I was an unpopular writer and a god of the Gayami nation in a small world called Antrinia.
That warrior, who fought so desperately and risked his life for me, was Il-Ho...
“I am Yu Il-Shin.”
I immediately reached out toward the void, “Crushing Forefinger of God!”
The world was an egg. For a bird to be born, it must be crushed.
Crack, crack!
A crack appeared, and the world of nothingness collapsed.
***
Back in the polluted world of the One Who Dwells in the Ugliest Filth...
“Waaaaah!”
The baby fairy desperately flapped her wings, trying to prevent Il-Ho from plummeting into the ground.
Swoosh!
However, her wings couldn’t sustain the weight of Il-Ho’s gigantic body.
“Don’t... cry... little one...”
Il-Ho wanted to hug the baby fairy and stroke her head, but he couldn’t. He didn’t have arms anymore.
“I’m fine, so leave me... and go...”
“Waaaah! Aboo! Aboo!” the baby fairy fervently shook her head, huge droplets of tears streaming down her face.
Slain by Il-Ho, the body of the malevolent god One Who Dwells in the Ugliest Filth crumbled like a sandcastle.
Craaaash!
Regardless, the sea of filth continued to rampage on the land like a tsunami.
The baby fairy racked her brains. No matter how awesome and strong Il-Ho was, he’d surely die if he sank into such a repugnant sea in his grievous state!
“Waaaah!”
Il-Ho had saved her from a terrifying demon, so she wanted to repay him! However, her frail arms and tiny wings were too powerless to do so!
“Little One... At this rate, you’ll be in danger... I’m fine, so hurry—Cough! Cough!”
Il-Ho coughed black blood and lost consciousness soon after.
Craaash!
The waves of the sea of filth somehow flowed onto the land. The baby fairy cried while burying her face into Il-Ho’s firm chest.
The baby fairy prayed fervently, “Waaaah! Aboo!”
Anyone. Please, save us! Please, save my warrior. Save my father, please!
Rip! Riiiiip!
Baaaam! Grab!
In the next moment, the sky was torn asunder. Something caught them right before they fell into the murky ocean.
The baby fairy’s eyes widened in shock. An impossibly large hand gently set them down on land, far from the seaside. Then, it pointed its ring finger at the dying Il-Ho.
-Healing Ring Finger of God.
Ding!
[Calculating the causality rate of the healing target: Il-Ho...]
[A follower of Low-tier God Yu Il-Shin. A warrior and a member of a lower race from The 10th Realm. An existence that can slightly affect the rules between gods and the world.]
[You paid 10,000 Gcoins for the healing.]
Trudge trudge!
After Night Rose had disappeared completely, the Three Pure Ones approached. The sight of smoke, red, and blue flames emitting murderous aura was truly dreary.
“Keeheehee!”
Swoosh!
The red flame guy, Dagger Martial, suddenly teleported right above my head.
“Young God, your heart is mine!”
Swaaaa!
With an eerie, deafening laughter, he descended, ready to split my head open!
Claaaang!
However, I parried his attack with Demon Lord, foiling his attempt.
“How did you...?!”
I’d blocked his attack with my good arm, and unlike earlier, my knees didn’t buckle. Dagger Martial withdrew angrily.
“Heeheehee! Fist Martial, Sword Martial. He’s stronger all of the sudden!”
Fist Martial stroked his smoky beard and said, “Hehe, I see. Did his followers offer sacrifices for him? His divinity has increased quite a bit.”
Sword Martial’s blue flames burned more aggressively as he pointed his sword at me, “Hmph! So what?! He still isn’t a Mid-tier God?! He won’t be able to win against the three of us! Rejoice! There’ll be more divine power for us to devour!”
“Heehee, you’re right! The banquet pig returning more plump is something to celebrate!”
The three mocked me, laughing like ghosts.
-Fucking cowards! I bet you can’t defeat me one-on-one!
Demon Lord shook violently in frustration.
-Disciple, I’m afraid you’ll have to come back later. Right now, our utmost priority is to escape. Their combined attacks are a harmony of heaven and earth. Not only did it suppress the opponent’s strength, it also amplified the caster’s martial power manyfold. You won’t be able to face them alone. Argh! How frustrating! If only I had a physical body, I’d be able to wipe them out in one fell swoop!
Demon Lord was right.
Thanks to the sacrifice Il-Ho offered and the Fairy Queen becoming my follower, my divine power had increased significantly. Nevertheless, I wasn’t confident I could defeat the three of them, especially after a poorly executed counterattack from earlier. I was dying after failing to use my healing powers.
I’ll never beat them on my own. They weren’t kidding when they said they’ve hunted Mid-tier Gods.
If only I could take out at least one of them, there might still be a chance...
Clang clang clang!
I looked over at Lin XiaoMing, who was still engaged in a fierce battle with the S-ranked masters from the Three Martial Association.
“Argh! I should be helping out Mr. Yu Il-Shin! These pesky tiger snouts!”
“Hmph! You traitorous whore! Don’t think of interfering in their battle! Unleash the Big Dipper Diamond Sutra Formation’s Third Stance, Rakshasa Diamond Sutra!”
“Yes sir!”
Despite being S-ranks, the strength of an individual member was no match for the SS-rank Lin XiaoMing. As such, they executed a bizarre sword formation that resembled Big Dipper, overpowering her.
She couldn’t afford to help me in her current situation.
“I won’t run, Demon Lord Elder.”
-W-what? They kicked your ass before! Haven’t you learned your lesson?!
“If I were to run away now, how am I supposed to face my followers?”
Yeah, especially Il-Ho, who risked his life to save me.
“Don’t worry, I still have a hidden trump card.”
“Stop bluffing.” Sword Martial stuck his blue flame tongue out, licking his blue lips. “All I see is a prey thrashing around.”
“Hehehe!”
“Keeheehee!”
The Three Pure Ones laughed in unison.
Yeah, laugh while you can.
I’ll do it regardless of the outcome.
In fact, it started as a dirty trick to meet my manuscript deadline. I never succeeded though. I kept being told I wasn’t good enough.
But now, with the divine power sizzling through my body, I thought I could pull this off.
This wasn’t a bluff, but conviction.
I raised my thumb up high. “Proliferating Thumb of God.”
Ding!
[Select the target to multiply.]
I stamped my thumb on my forehead and said, “Yu Il-Shin.”
