How Did I Become a Great Prophet?! - How Did I Become a Great Prophet chapter 42
42 – Knit Gumiho
A long time ago.
A time when it wasn’t that strange to see monsters roaming the world to their heart’s content.
There was a fox youkai born to an ordinary fox youkai clan.
Ordinary Hardy Unlike ordinary people, she was born with tremendous talent.
However, that fox youkai was… Very peculiar. In a different way.
“Hmm…Everything in the world…”
Because of her peculiarity, she couldn’t even fit in with her clan, and she knew it herself, but didn’t care about her, and then, since her hair was rather thick, she just suddenly left her clan. I even threw it away.
And the first thing she did after leaving her world like that… Surprisingly, she immediately became a nine-tailed fox.
Kumihoran, an existence that can be said to be the pinnacle of fox monsters. It was such a great existence that it was called the Great Yo-kai not only among the ordinary Yo-kai, but also the Fox Yo-kai.
It was also an existence that crossed the border between a monster and something beyond a monster, and it was not easy to rise to that level because it was such a mysterious and great existence.
A lofty state that can only be reached after she has accumulated her magic through hundreds of years of training and has broken through her limits nine times.
She reached such a great state at once, wandering the world for a year, absorbing the spirits of mountains and forests and her mana, turning the area into ruins and devastating it.
And through her great talent, she became a nine-tailed fox in the shortest period of time, and her next goal was… There wasn’t anything in particular.
She didn’t have any grand goals to match her talent.
“Ah… I want to live without doing anything in the world, playing and eating…”
The reason why she became a nine-tailed fox in the first place was because her own goal was to just live while playing and eating while doing nothing.
She knew very well that even such a life could require strength.
And that attitude did not change even after becoming a nine-tailed fox and gaining great power.
What do you want to be a human instead of a monster??
I wondered why I was so obsessed with it. If you want to live like a human, live in disguise. It wouldn’t be difficult.
I want to become the great youkai that invades the world and become the pinnacle of youkai and the fear of humans??
I had no intention of doing such a troublesome thing as creating resentment and enemies on my own. She didn’t even want to try to make it that way in the first place.
What about becoming the dark side of the world? Or do you hide?
That was out of the question. Being in the dark was more troublesome, and I wanted to play, eat, and enjoy it, because I had no intention of polishing my sword by sinking into a mountain.
She was, after all, a very peculiar yokai, and since becoming her nine-tailed fox, she has lived her life as she pleases, enjoying and unleashing her powers to the fullest.
She did if she wanted to travel, and didn’t move if she didn’t want to.
When the sun was warm, I took a long nap, and when I went to the river, I would swim or fish.
When I went to a town or city and wanted something to eat, I lightly bewitched the store owner and got it for free. If I wanted to sleep at home, I also bewitched the landlord and drank it without charge.
When I wanted to see something stimulating, I made a love triangle or secretly watched a drama that put a married woman and a married man together and got caught by a husband or wife.
Later on, everything became a nuisance, so I secretly bewitched the other guys and ordered them to eat, wash, and dress.
Without a specific goal or dream, she just went with the world and lived her own life, eating, sleeping and playing as her heart followed.
So she lived as she wished, and one day, by chance, she met a guru.
It was her guru who had a very great ability, and that ability reached her sky, but the guru was horrified to see her.
It wasn’t because a huge monster hid in the human world and lived as it pleased. Because that guru wasn’t that righteous and wasn’t that deep in the world.
But the reason the guru was frightened was that his fortune was truly enormous.
“Huh! How could there be such a pitiful bastard…! A bastard who would be alive within 20 years and slowly decompose for a week, and then be captured and confined to an object made of his own body to suffer for a long time, just to die? Rani…!! This is the first time I’ve ever had someone die so horribly!”
“Yeah?! Me!?”
She wasn’t interested in how the world went on, she didn’t know that the guru was a very famous person, but she felt as soon as she saw that her ability was great, so she didn’t listen to it.
“Huh… To face such a death even with such great power… The world is really strange!”
“No! What should I do if I just throw rice cakes and leave!! Help me!! I don’t want to die like that!!”
Only saying that, he threw his chin at him and clicked his tongue, and the Gumiho grabbed the crotch of his pants and hung on to the guru who was just about to leave.
I didn’t want to die even if I lived as if everything was annoying. There is no reason to want to die so horribly when you live doing what you want, right?
“Keep…This is a very vicious woman…”
In this way, the nine-tailed fox held on to the guru’s crotch to leave, saying that it was annoying, and endured for two days. I had been secluded for a week with valuables.
“No, what’s been stuck on for so long! Didn’t you think that crap?!”
“Ugh! Does reading the heavenly gimmick and foreseeing a way to open it even a little bit seem like a dick?! To say that it’s not your job…!! You’re risking your life to help me, but you’re doing such a foolish thing!?”
It is not an easy task to read fate and figure out how to make it even a little better. He knew all the better because he was a great guru.
The power to lightly foresee fate and change it to good or good according to one’s taste by kneading heavenly spirit without any special preparation? I could tell you there is no such thing. Being yourself can do this…
If you are slightly twisted, you will become a body that can neither die nor live, and you will suffer terrible pain for eternity as a reward for daring to challenge the incomprehensible that is not permitted.
“Huh!? I’m having such a hard time right now that I’m losing my hair!! I can do this because I’m as good as I am!! But I don’t know the grace right now…!!”
“I’m sorry!! I made a mistake!!”
Because the guru himself knew that all too well, he frothed and screamed.
Anyway, the way the guru figured out at the end of such a long effort and sincerity was to postpone the coming fate through a long patience. Should I push it?
“Whoa…I couldn’t see you much because it was dangerous, and I can only tell you this once, so listen carefully. First of all, I have to make a barrier somewhere with good energy and endure it unconditionally. Even if I endure this 20 years, That terrible fate will multiply with more malice!”
“Yeah?! Isn’t that worse??”
“With my own power, it is my limit to tell you how to put it off for a while… I endure and endure within it… I have to wait for the ‘noble man’ to come someday! With abilities that no one like me dares to touch, A noble man who freely handles heaven and fate!! That’s the only way for his wife and children to live!”
“Oh no! Where is that person?! Who knew when that person would show up!!”
“…Still, wouldn’t it be better than dying? It’s going to be a long time, but if you persevere, you’ll find a way to live someday… That’s my limit…”
This alone was great.
Immediately after that, Dosa talked lightly with the mountain god of Jeju Island to draw his interest and get his consent. He suddenly disappeared, saying that he needed to recuperate, and from then on, Yeon Dal-gi’s sealed hermit life began.
He even secretly uses his talents, accumulated strength, and the energy of Hallasan Mountain to copy interesting cultural artifacts from the outside and puts them inside the seal, and uses magic to expand his residence area inside the seal. I lived well as if I had found the right life for me.
In a word, he lived as a hikinite nine-tailed fox.
Well, it was a bit cramped, but it would be better than dying.
So I gave up on going out like that and lived like that so I wouldn’t die horribly…
‘Uh, uh, how could there be an intruder here?!’
The seals and barriers that were worked hard in collaboration with the guru were suddenly released so easily and an intruder appeared. Even though the seal was always well managed as it was a lifeline.
‘Couldn’t it be that the piled-up fate somehow pierced the seal?! I… Am I going to die now!? Terribly?!’
He trembled at the thought because Yeon Dal-gi felt more realistic than a man with absurd abilities. Actually, those floating marbles were a huge thing.
Even when the intruder called for a conversation, he didn’t respond, hiding behind the sofa and peeking at me, trembling.
“What should I do…? If I rebel… Will I be able to live?!”
While trembling like that, the intruder let out a sigh and muttered.
“Ehh…If you don’t want to talk about anything…You have to figure it out by yourself.”
Then he started to show off a truly shocking performance.
“Let’s see… His name is Yeon Dalgi, his species is a nine-tailed fox…Originally an ordinary fox? That’s right?! You’re a great person…And where you were born is Liaohe?
Half hiding on the sofa, I took a quick look at her face, and then I started wiping out her personal information! Even Yeondalgi himself forgot about it!!
After briefly showing such a monstrous performance beyond recognition, the intruder grinned and said to Yeon Dal-gi, who was blankly shocked with his mouth wide open.
“Uh… Are you ready to talk now?”
And at the intruder’s words, Kite Dalgi nodded her head as if possessed.
