The World I Was Supporting Was Real - Chapter 25



Episode 25. Fall of Faith

Starting with a completely unexpected word, a literal super development began.

“The only thing we have to lose is our chains!”

* * *

“What we gain is plain fact!”

“The will of the one and only leader, Igwogwodon, is lighting up our hearts!”

Communism!

The sole will of Igwogwodon, who made us all ‘equal’!

―Can you hear it!

The plain fact of Igwogwodon, shaking under the name of communism!!!

“So, Emperor, stand up!”

Stand up! Stand up! Stand up! Stand up!

The word of God, fair to all! A plate of plain facts for everyone!

A plate of facts for the farmers! A plate of fact for the workers, equal to that of the nobles!

We are Igwogwodon! Igwogwodon is us!

And the Emperor cannot refuse the will of Igwogwodon!!!!!!!

A voice filled with madness.

The scene ends with everyone, from the common people to the nobles, even those who were part of the royal family, condemning the Emperor―

* * *

This short story has ended.

[ Igwogwodon: No ]

Since it was a scene of educating the Emperor, I naturally thought that the Emperor would either fall into a difficult situation or witness a miracle of God and tremble, realizing there was a real God.

This author has shown very unique developments so far, so it might be possible to twist clichés and create something like ‘the Emperor who fell for God’. Especially since they know I like the Emperor character.

But I never thought the Emperor would be dethroned by a proletarian revolution.

Hasn’t the bourgeois class not even appeared properly yet?

There hasn’t been a scene with a character who got rich through commerce, only nobles.

Questions? Of course, I had many.

But the most concerning one was-

[ Igwogwodon: Don’t communists dislike God??? ]

[ Igwogwodon: They like atheism ]

[ Igwogwodon: I can understand the Emperor being brought down by a revolution, but what process led to a strange system like a theocratic communist one-party dictatorship???? ]

Theocratic communist one-party dictatorship. … … Even if I say it again, I don’t know what it is.

To be honest, I wasn’t a history student.

Naturally, I don’t have as much knowledge as someone who knows history well.

Just knowing the basics, the things you would learn in compulsory education, should be enough.

And even I, with such knowledge, know that people with those kinds of thoughts don’t like religion.

In actual history, there might have been different cases… but anyway, that’s how it was in my common sense.

Before long, the story from the author came-

[ PleaseGiveMoney : I only observed a part of the future, so I don’t know what process led to this result… ]

[ PleaseGiveMoney : If Igogodon has the divine power to ‘educate’ someone, I don’t think it’s a strange result. ]

[ PleaseGiveMoney : Because ]

[PleaseGiveMoney: This is the power of God]

[ PleaseGiveMoney : The power to create something completely new that didn’t exist in the world without any hindrance ]

[PleaseGiveMoney: If there is divine power, nothing is impossible]

[PleaseGiveMoney: How can the existing order of the world stand against the power of God? ]

I thought about arguing that people can’t be saved, but that wasn’t important right now.

Anyway, I didn’t want to bring the emperor down to the bottom.

What I wanted was for him to listen to me properly and not defy me, not to be stripped of his position and become destitute.

Since I am ‘God’, I wanted to block any possibility of him claiming atheism later.

Moreover, Linnea, one of the holy knights, seemed to have joined the revolutionary army in the manga, but as a royal, she might face a terrible fate later.

[Igogodon: Anyway, I shouldn’t educate him]

[Igogodon: But what if I give a little money? ]

[ Igogodon : The development changes depending on the amount ]

[ PleaseGiveMoney : An emperor whose will is not broken will continue to fight the religious world for power ]

[PleaseGiveMoney: That is his fate]

I see. Education is a pass.

Considering my trust, I had to avoid that.

So, what should I do…

‘What do I want to do with the emperor?’

I scrolled up and checked the cut where Eirene appeared again.

Her slightly protruding golden side hair swayed, and at the same time, her huge chest swayed back and forth every time she moved…

‘……’

In agony, I swallowed dryly.

Yes. He hasn’t committed a crime yet, and he said he wouldn’t cross the line, so it seemed better not to give him an excessively harsh punishment.

From noble mtl dot comIsn’t it the duty of God to somehow lead even the unbelievers to repentance?

It was never because she was pretty and had a large chest that I decided to let her off.

If the future where she gets a proper education means she will be dethroned by a revolution…

What could be done to prevent that?

At that moment, a single word crossed my mind.

[ Igogodon: Can’t we… cause some kind of… faith corruption? ]

Faith corruption!

Is there anything sweeter than confirming the faith that blooms on the face of someone who stubbornly insists there is no such thing as God?

[ GiveMeMoney: Are you talking about faith corruption? ]

[Igogodon: Yes. Even Luca once overcame his fate, didn’t he? ]

[ Igogodon: I believe the emperor can do it too ]

[ Igogodon: By embracing a sincere mindset, he will willingly accept the concept of a plate of holy knights ]

[ Igogodon: And if we can preemptively block the fate of being overthrown by a revolution, even better ]

Revolutions usually occur when the issues of living and eating are dire.

From the perspective of the common people living under a feudal system, if they have enough to eat and live comfortably, why would they need to start a revolution?

It seemed that the future vision wasn’t based on matured beliefs or ideologies, but rather pushed through by divine power. Nevertheless, there must be at least some plausibility for such a future to be observed.

[ Igogodon: If the emperor becomes a beloved wise ruler to the people, it would be good news for Linea as well ]

[ Igogodon: Since he has corrupted faith, he naturally won’t plot schemes… I just want to… religiously inspire him ]

[ GiveMeMoney: So, you want to rehabilitate him? ]

Rehabilitate?

I wondered if it could be called rehabilitation, but in context, it might be.

[Igogodon: Yes, I want to rehabilitate him]

One important fact.

I didn’t know exactly why the emperor was so wary of the religious community.

If there was a reason, couldn’t I listen to it? After all, I am a god.

‘I have now naturally come to think of myself as a god…’

Suddenly feeling embarrassed, I gulped down a glass of cola.

Hoo-hoo… Even with the esophagus of a god, carbonation is still prickly.

[ GiveMeMoney: Rehabilitation… rehabilitation… If there is divine power, it might be possible ]

[Igogodon: It would be expensive, right? ]

When I changed Luca’s fate, it cost 300,000 won.

The amount the author mentioned was 150,000 won, but the author said that such an amount would not have contained the divine power to overcome fate.

Honestly, I knew it was just something nice to hear.

After all, would you really need divine power to draw a comic?

[ PleaseGiveMoney: Please wait a moment. ]

[ PleaseGiveMoney: I think… it can be done with about 35,000 won worth of power. ]

Huh???

That’s cheaper than I thought?

I spent 300,000 won on Luca, so I thought at least 200,000 won would be needed this time…

[ Igogoten: Is it a bargain? ]

[ PleaseGiveMoney: …? ]

[ Igogoten: Isn’t it much cheaper? It’s not much different from Luca’s case. ]

[ PleaseGiveMoney: Well… in Luca’s case, the power of fate was strongly at work. ]

[ PleaseGiveMoney: And now, you haven’t given the emperor a proper lesson yet. ]

[ PleaseGiveMoney: With this level of divine power, it should be enough to reform the emperor… ‘corrupt his faith’. ]

They were making plausible excuses, but honestly, was there any special reason?

‘They’re just adjusting the intensity so that people don’t lose interest due to excessive charges.’

Anyway, it’s worth it at that price.

I entered 35,000 won, but I was grateful that they listened to me, so I added a little more.

[ Igogoten (Support / 50,000 won / Empress Faith Corruption Hehehe) ]

[ Igogoten: I paid a little more to make it look pretty, hahaha. ]

[ PleaseGiveMoney: No way. ]

[ PleaseGiveMoney: Igogoten-nim. ]

[ PleaseGiveMoney: Really… thank you so much. An additional divine power I didn’t expect…! ]

[ PleaseGiveMoney: With this, we can show you even more. We will never forget Igogoten-nim’s generous decision. ]

[ Igogoten: Yes, author. ]

[Igogoten: You know what I’m expecting, right? ]

[PleaseGiveMoney: Of course. ]

[ PleaseGiveMoney: In that sense… shall we listen to the ‘word of God’ again this time? ]

[ Igogoten: Are you talking about the message to the emperor? ]

[Give me some money: Yes, that’s right. However, this time, it seems that just answering a few questions will be enough. ]

[ Please give me some money : xzqr.wo.to ＜ Here’s the link. ]

When I clicked on it, a survey window appeared.

The questions were simple. ‘How does the god push himself when times are tough?’ ‘Does the god have any unique methods to overcome trials?’ Things like that.

As I looked through it, I noticed there were sections where you could write messages to Eirene.

I’ve seen something like this before. It’s like the psychological tests you take before joining the military. The questions are a bit different, but it’s quite similar.

I don’t really know what this is, but it’s probably some new BM or something.

With the mindset of just doing what I was told, I was about to start typing.

[ Give me some money : And ]

[Give me some money: This world wants to repay the generous Igogodon who provided additional powers in any way possible. ]

[ Lee Guo Guo Deun : ? ]

[Give me some money: May I dare to ask what the face of the one and only god Igogodon looks like? ]

* * *

The audience chamber in the castle of Igogodon.

Emperor Eirene frowned slightly with a surprised expression at the unexpected guest.

Even though her face was clearly frowning, it held a cold beauty that would chill you to the touch.

“The saint has come?”

“Yes, that’s right. She wishes to have an audience with Your Majesty…”

What is that woman up to all of a sudden?

Could it be that she heard some unnecessary talk from Linea about a plate of holy knights?

No, if Linea were that devout, she wouldn’t have sent her as a candidate for the holy knight in the first place. Then…

‘Anyway, I should welcome her.’

There was nothing good about openly antagonizing the saint right now.

“Let her in.”

Before long, the saint Erin, who had appeared for the first time in 200 years, walked slowly on the red carpet.

The holiness that emanated from her just by the swaying of her platinum blonde hair was enough to make her aura special, as if chosen by the gods.

Eirene rose from the throne and bowed respectfully.

“I greet Your Majesty the Emperor.”

“Welcome, Saint. It is an honor to meet you while I am still alive.”

“I think this much of a greeting will suffice. After all, I didn’t come here to exchange pleasantries today.”

Eirene slowly observed Erin’s reaction.

Although she cut off her words, there was no hostility. However, something was burning fiercely in her eyes.

Was it…determination? Willpower?

“Your Majesty. A ‘divine message’ has been delivered to you.”

“What? …To me?”

“Yes.”

Erin said this with a benevolent smile…

She approached, step by step.

“Saint…?”

It was a truly strange feeling.

As if the world had stopped.

There were clearly soldiers in formation… but they neither tried to stop the saint’s movements nor uttered a word. As if they had become dolls!

“Hehe… Your Majesty. This way… come closer to me.”

Closer.

The saint approached.

Something that undeniably existed within the saint approached Eirene…

“Wa… wait a moment…!”

Eirene couldn’t even complete her sentence, she was simply overwhelmed.

She couldn’t stop the saint from approaching…!

When she came to her senses-

Eirene, with her back pressed against the chair, found Erin’s face right in front of her nose.

So close that if she fell forward, their noses would touch.

Erin’s large divine power pouch… brushed against Eirene’s chest.

A moment so intense it made her palms sweat!

Erin was the first to speak.

“Your Majesty…”

“…!”

Erin, with a lovely smile, let out a laugh.

Her face flushed, as if she couldn’t bear it any longer.

“It’s okay. There’s nothing to be afraid of. This is a very, very wonderful… the greatest blessing a woman can feel…!”

“Your Majesty will surely understand…! How, how wonderful the words of God are…!!!”

“Wait a moment! Saint, I, please listen to me first…!!”

Before the flustered Eirene could finish her words.

Erin slowly lifted the Bible she was holding in her arms―

“I will place it… the words of God…!”

She gently touched Eirene’s forehead with it.

“!!!!!”

――Light.

The light, filled with plain facts, emanating from the Bible, engulfed Eirene.
