Chapter 440 (2/2)
I sheathe my sword back after one final slash
“Why are you sheathing your sword? Have you realized that you're no match for me?”
Skeleton Archduke dubiously posed a question as the red light inside his eyes flickered
“Have you not noticed yet?”
Skeleton Archduke's body begins to cruertips and body surface
And below his feet, splinters of a broken red ic core–
“T-this is… I, Heaven Dweller pro…”
Skeleton Archduke as looking down on his body lifted his head as red and black light gushed out of his eyes
“ITSNOTOVERYEEEEEEEEEEET!”
The shouting Skeleton Archduke charged toward me as a jet black aura wrapped his body
However, his fingers disappeared into black ash before they could touch me
“I told you, it's a checkmate”
Afterthat no one would hear, I look around at the surroundings
Slightly after the dehost shi+p crumbled and sunk into the ocean
Several of the surviving pirate shi+ps atteic Edge Cannons of unknown affiliations
I've put a [Golden Wheel]-like ic circle in front of the place where Pochi and Taht
–That's right, all in the hope people believe that everything is [God's Miracle]
“All enemies have been destroyed! This is our victory!”
“””WOOOOOOOOOOO!”””
The fleet crew cheered loudly when I declared our victory
While I' over the battlefield, and let sunlight peek through them to make it look mystical
Just to be doubly sure, I projected an illusion of the [Golden Wheel] in the sky once again
I land the shi+p at Garleok City's port with that illusion as the backdrop, and return the Gole water spray as a diversion
I'll also teleport people whom I've sheltered on a hill visible from Garleon Temple
Since it's bothersoo with the pirates I captured?
“Glory to God Garleon!”
“””GLORY TO God GARLEON!”””
When we entered the wharf, people who had gathered at the port cheered for God Garleon while I was heading to Garleon Teuard
Since there were lots of houses that greers in their garden and balcony, ere showered with flower petals until we reached the temple
Makes
“Welcome back–God's Trial accomplisher”
When I arrived at Garleon Main Temple, the male miko–Shaman Sauani boy welcomed me
“Now then, let us report to God”
I don'tto take me to the ceremony room, but I kindly flicked away his hand as he tried to coil it around my waist
Sauani boy muttered, “you're so cold”, but I pretend not to hear it
Just like with the trial-taking cereh Sauani boy
『–Splendid I bestow you my mark』
His line was exactly the same as God Heraruon, but voices , “Overproduction”, “Prayers enough”, “Scheh”, “Lack tactical reversal” also reached oal is to clear the [God's Trial] and gather the Marks, there's no particular problem here
> title [Garleon's Mark] Acquired
> title [One Approved by Garleon] Acquired
> title [Garleon Saint] Acquired
> title [Garleon Apostle] Acquired
> title [Charade] Acquired
> title [Overproduction] Acquired
> title [Stage Director] Acquired
> title [Poor Schemer] Acquired
Okay, I know that you can't get behind it, but please don't override the title system just to show your dissatisfaction
After a short dialogue with God, I return to my consciousness at the temple
Lights coather into one and transforaudy scepter
I catch it as it slowly falls down
According to AR readings, it's [Golden Scepter Garleauph], a kind of [Divine Treasures]
Just like [Golden Dagger Heraruseph] I got from God Heraruon that was adorned with a sem–Sea God Stone on its tip
It seeic
This would be a good match for Sera, but it's probably a bad idea to let someone who believes in another God to use a Divine Treasure of another God
“Hee, this is the first time I've seen someone bestoith a Divine Treasure”
Sauani boy who has come to stares at the scepter in amazement
“Mind if I touch it?”
“Feel free to”
I offer the scepter to Sauani boy
He curiously looks at the scepter froles
The other priests and , what a difference
“Thank you, it's really a”
Sauani boy gave back the scepter without a shred of reluctance
The other priests andcontrast
“If Garleon Temple wishes to enshrine it, I would love to hand it–”
“Naw, you don't have to Ibestowed to you by God Garleon, and most i of the great God Garleon and the invincible 『Golden Wheel』 divine treasure from this matter”
–I'
I feel a slight guilt to see Sauani boy's refreshi+ng face
The priests and miko(s) look like they really want it, but since none dares to tell me to push back Sauani boy, I put the Scepter into e
–Hm?
An iue flashed in ination
I left Garleon Main Temple, enjoyed a banquet held by Garleok City, and departed Garleon Union
“Here's your souvenirs”
“Uwaa! That's so sea bream and octopus!”
“We have oyster and mussel too here”
Garleok City's octopus and shellfish are superb, I'd love to treat the girls and Echigoya Firm peeps with it
“Did you buy them from the market?”
“Nah, the sea brea incident”
They went and brought fresh sea bream on the back of dolphins to Garleok City and all
“How are you going to cook 'em?”
“Sashi+et too repetitive if we keep eating that only, so I think I'll make half into carpaccio As for the oyster–”
“I want it raw!”
Arisa who fears no stomachache raised her hand and insisted
Well, even if she gets one, we can just cure her with panacea or elixir, so it's all fine
“Got it I'll put so with it Oh and sorry, we're out of leet them for me”
“Okay!”
Arisa teleported to the lemon orchard
“Think we should stay on the safe side and go with paella for the mussel?”
“Yes, I'll give it my all!”
I hand over a basket full of shellfish to Lulu and think up the side , “Wonder what I should make next”
“Meat~?”
“Pochi is happy with either fish or shellfish like she is with meat nodesu”
Since the meat lovers Tama and Pochi proposed an aoes ith paella
Meal really is the funnest with your friends
An urgent e came up in such peaceful times
“Satou-saot a contact from Zensan at Seryuu city–”
Looks like so her home
