Chapter 97: God Sends Cute Angel Away
...Where am I?
I found myself in the middle of a vast space as dark as gray concrete. There stood a half-naked figure about the size of a small hill. He sat in a lotus position, as if meditating. Entranced, I walked toward him. He had steel-hard muscles, tempered to the extreme, and was covered in countless scars like a warrior.
Tzzz!
There was only one word to describe the divine power emanating from his body: overwhelming.
Naturally, as a Low-tier God, the difference in our divine power was as vast as heaven and earth. I was flabbergasted. How much did I need to fight and train to obtain such a physique? I shifted my gaze to the giant’s face. However, it was obstructed by a thick fog.
Soon, the fog lifted, and a man’s voice boomed.
-I’m Eternal Seeker. A matter of great urgency requires your attention, so I adjusted our causality.
Eternal Seeker? Isn’t that one of my stalkers? That muscle freak?
-Yu Il-Shin, there’s no time left! You have to get stronger! Much stronger than you are now!
His voice was tinged with urgency and desperation.
-The apostle and alter ego of the God of Destroyer has begun to awaken! To avoid the fate of total annihilation and survive the trials ahead, you must become a Mid-tier God...!
Creaaaaak! Ruuumble— Baaaam!
Suddenly, an ominous sound resounded, causing the ground to collapse.
“Arghhh!”
***
I woke up from my dream to an unfamiliar ceiling. Okay, that’s a lie. I do recognize it. After all, the infirmary had become my frequent hangout spot lately.
I skipped teaching classes and took a nap there for the afternoon. I spoke to the empty space above, “So, Mr. Eternal Seeker, was that you I saw in my dream?”
No answer.
Hmm. Was I mistaken? Maybe it was just a nightmare...
“To survive the trials ahead and avoid the fate of total annihilation, I have to become a Mid-tier God...”
Didn’t he also mention a celebration of god? What’s that about?
“Grandson-in-law, why are you mumbling to yourself?”
Chills!
Suddenly, a voice came from behind and I turned around in surprise. A pale figure in a black, long coat stood behind me.
Ssss—
The embodiment of a grim reaper licked his lips, as if summoning the dead, saying, “Are you still feeling unwell? That’s why I told you to stay longer in the hospital.” Unlike what his appearance suggested, he was friendly!
“You scared the shit out of me! At least make some noise when you’re around!” I shouted.
Ko Sa-Deuk merely chuckled, as if he was visiting his own grandson.
It’d been three days since the incident involving Yaksha soldiers, Lilith, and Seductive Nights.
I appraised him.
-----
[Ko Sa-Deuk]
Category: Follower
Special note: A summoner with potential for transcendence. Saved by Yu Il-Shin’s mercy and grace.
-----
Don’t ask me how he became my follower. Still, after that day, he became extremely nice to me. He likely wouldn’t hesitate to be my guarantor on an unsecured loan.
Along with Ko Sa-Deuk's appearance, the space around me distorted open, and angel soldiers emerged from it. The sparrow-sized angels were so cute! If not for the earmuffs on their heads, nobody would suspect they were formerly Yaksha soldiers!
Flap flap!
Moreover, they didn’t come empty-handed. They assembled in groups of three and four, eagerly carrying tea bags and teacups in their hands, as if they’d rehearsed it before. Tearing the bags open, they carefully placed them in the cups.
Pour—!
Lastly, Lilith appeared with a tin kettle bigger than herself, and poured hot water into the cups.
“Thank you, Lilith.” Ko Sa-Deuk lifted the cup and sipped on it, passionately staring into Lilith’s multicolored eyes. “Keke, how delicious.”
Hearing his praise, Lilith and the angel soldiers beamed and flapped their wings. Even though he complained when Choi Kang-San served him tea before... And this tea wasn’t even worth a hundred Korean won... Was this the power of love?
“Ahem. I got it on the way here.” Ko Sa-Deuk cleared his throat and held out a bag of rice cakes to Lilith.
“Kyaaaa!” Lilith cheered, and inhaled the rice cakes eagerly.
[Some of the angel soldiers have returned.]
A notification rang. Following that, a handful of angels emerged from my phone, which was left on the nearby desk. They gathered around me, and began patting my head, as if comforting me.
Wow, this feels kind of healing.
“Did you get the job done?”
The angel soldiers nodded in unison.
“Alright, let me see.”
I launched God-Maker. After taking the angel soldiers under my wing, a new menu was added.
-----
[Dispatching Angel Soldiers]
Description: Dispatch your angel soldiers to perform divine miracles for your creations. The more active they are, the more Faith they amass.
Current number of dispatched angel soldiers: 9,818
-----
The remaining angel soldiers were still hard at work. I wasn’t really sure what they were doing, but after they were dispatched, my followers began increasing significantly. As evidence...
-----
[Quest: Mid-tier Benevolent God Promotion (In progress)]
Normal followers: 130,233,321/10,000,000,000
Followers of intelligent beings at S-rank and above with potential for transcendence: 12/100
-----
Just three days ago, the number of normal followers from the Gayami Nation barely exceeded a hundred million. Now, it had increased by a third! Of course, I was still a long way from reaching the target amount for the promotion quest.
Still, it felt much easier than gathering a hundred S-rank beings. I didn’t know the total population of Antrinia, God-Maker’s world, though. But I’d fought against a hundred billion imperial troops before, so it should have that much, right?
“Okay, good job. Well done.”
I patted the angel soldiers on the heads and praised them. Squealing in delight, they did a little happy dance in the air.
They looked so adorable, I couldn’t help but guffaw like a dad! Lilith watched me as if she wanted to be petted as well.
As their leader, Lilith certainly had contributed immensely to the rapid growth in the number of followers. But she was also the wife of a high-ranking official and the grandmother of one of my students!
Stare—
She kept staring at me.
I eventually lost. “Y-you’ve done a great job, Ms. Lilith.”
I carefully stroked Lilith’s black hair, to which she smiled, joyfully fluttering her wings.
Glad to see that you’re in such a good mood, Ko Myeong-Ji’s grandmother.
Draaaag! Slam!
“Teacher Yu Il-Shin!”
Just then, the door burst open and someone called out to me in a panic.
Oh, please! Can’t you at least knock?!
I turned around and saw a petite and cute squirrel. Caught off guard, I immediately retracted my hand from Lilith’s head.
“M-Myeong-Ji. What is it?” My voice faltered slightly.
N-no! I didn’t do anything wrong!
Ko Myeong-Ji widened her eyes at the sight of Lilith and the angel soldiers. “Waaaah! How cute! Teacher! What are those?”
Unfazed, Lilith stared affectionately at Ko Myeong-Ji like a grandmother. Then, she rubbed her face against Ko Myeong-Ji’s cheeks.
“Weee! Why are you so cute?!” Ko Myeong-Ji screamed, reciprocating the act.
In fact, Ko Myeong-Ji still didn’t know that the cute angel was her own grandmother.
Ko Sa-Deuk hadn’t revealed it yet, for fear of confusing his grandchild. Understanding where he came from, I watched them in glee as they cuddled up to each other.
“But Myeong-Ji, why are you here?”
“Oh right! Look at me!” Ko Myeong-Ji finally pulled herself out from the cutesy situation and looked at me with urgency. “Teacher! Something BIG happened! M-Mr. Sword Demon...!”
What’s wrong with Sword Demon?
