Night of the Soulless Heathens – 194



#194. Quantum Bond 3

Jiswa was a true believer in the doctrines of the Cheonggeondang. To him Azadin was a person who had received revelations so when Azadin told him that he had no intention of taking over the religious order he saw it as nothing but humility.

‘He who has received revelation must also be humble.’

Because he was so touched Jiswa was even more eager to spread this gospel to everyone.

“Hit it.”

As a god it was natural that he could not tolerate Azadin’s existence. From the perspective of God who had gained power by using Grimslow’s body Azadin’s existence which was said to have been chosen by Grimslow was extremely uncomfortable.

“…That’s right.”

Azadin lightly threw the club of Grimslown in his hand. The club spun around Azadin striking the spears thrust at Azadin.

The spear breaks and snaps. It is Grimslow’s club which has a power that increases or decreases when striking people but it is unforgiving when striking objects.

“uh!?”

“Ugh?!”

Those holding the spears were so surprised by the shock they dropped their spears in their hands.

When he first entered the audience hall he was sent in unarmed and stripped of his clothes. When those who had not known that this would happen were startled Azadin put the string on his bow picked up the broken spear shaft and hung it on his bow.

It doesn’t have feathers or wings so it won’t be able to fire very far but it’s enough for indoor shooting. If Azadin fires from this distance it won’t be hard to pierce the heavens.

‘But we can’t kill God here. Would King Bthuma have kept Iza alive for no reason?’

The Blue Constructors are a potential threat. In order to deal with so many of them effectively King Bhutuma has recognized the Blue Constructors.

If Azadin kills the Heavenly King here the Qing Dynasty organization will collapse. So Azadin warned with the spear hanging from the bowstring.

“Please withdraw the soldiers immediately. I don’t want to harm my fellow believers. Lord.”

“Yes you bastard Jiswa. I sent you to Adyrov to do this to me…”

“No my lord. The story is getting complicated so shall we leave and have a conversation with me?”

Azadin laughed at the sight of God’s actions.

God probably wasn’t such a stupid person to begin with. Does power make people stupid?

Shouldn’t God who rules over them at least know that Jiswa is a person who pursues doctrine purely regardless of power?

‘You think Jisoo would do the same thing to you so you’re being overly cautious of me and this is what happens. Tsk.’

Azadin swung his spear at God who had no intention of listening to him.

“Left ear first!”

-Pfft!

As soon as the spear fired by Azadin pierced the foot the scream of Heaven was heard.

“Oh my God!”

The surprised ones tried to approach but Grimslow’s club dancing in the air immediately struck the chin of those who approached.

Those who saw the dancing clubs striking people unconscious stopped in their tracks.

“uh….”

“Listen you who wish to follow the Way of the Heavenly Heaven.”

Azadin shouted at the bewildered Qing Dynasty members.

“I have come here to deliver the revelation of Grimslow. I am a messenger of God who wishes to convey the revelation of God to a higher level in addition to the first revelation given to Him. Anyone who is not worthy of receiving the revelation will die.”

“Ha but you just hurt God?!”

Meanwhile Azadin picked up another spear and shot it with his bow.

“Right ear!”

“Kwaaah!”

“The wounds you have now are stigmata. They are wounds that God gave you to receive revelations about and to become greater beings. Do not doubt them.”

Azadin said this slyly and picked up the third spear.

“Ah! I get it! I get it! Everyone back off!”

God realized that Azadin could kill him at any time but did not do so on purpose so he withdrew his soldiers.

“Jiswa step back too.”

“Yes? Me too?”

“Okay. Go and monitor if more troops are coming and let me know.”

Azadin sent Jiswa under the pretext of being assigned to watch over him.

“Ugh…. Is it okay now?”

When God sent Azadin to Jiswa he noticed something strange.

“Whew. Good. You’re not completely clueless Cheonju. I’m glad you understood before you got hurt more. I was wondering where to shoot next time other than the ear.”

“Ugh.”

“Oh should we talk while looking at each other’s faces?”

Azadin climbed up onto the platform where the Lord was and kicked his feet. A young boy with blood streaming from his ears was lying on the floor groaning as he covered his ears with silk to stop the bleeding.

“Are you God? Is he your agent?”

“It is the Lord Cheonju himself. This is due to the influence of Grimslow…”

“She looks younger than your daughter. But she definitely seems to be a member of the Grimslow family.”

Although Azadin received the oracle of Grimslow he did not inhale its fluid and thus did not become a servant. However when he approached this closely he could vaguely sense Grimslow’s power emanating from the God.

“First of all I’m sorry. I kept telling you not to listen but Jiswa really believes in your religion so he wouldn’t listen to me.”

“….”

“As you can see it is true that I have obtained Grimslow’s body but I am a Herald and have no interest in your cult. What I am interested in is preventing the traitors of the Herald from joining forces with the Naga Empire and invading Btuma like they did in Korasaar.”

“What exactly do you want?”

“Save the people of the introduction site. Provide them with shelter and food. And the sect will provide both material and spiritual support for the defense of Btuma?”

“If you do that you won’t last long. Once the siege begins the food stockpiled at the church will quickly run out… Even though King Bthuma has recognized our religion I don’t think he’ll give us priority support when supplies run low during a war.”

“Well? Right now they recognize your religion because of public opinion not because they are particularly impressed by your doctrines. But can we just throw away those of you who have devoted themselves to defending Btuma like old shoes? When that happens public opinion will be even more on your side?”

“You don’t understand. When food becomes scarce they go wild.”

“You’re going wild?”

Azadin was startled. Of course the riots that had occurred in the Adyrov Baronial Territory came to his mind.

“Yes. Even the Cheonggeun Party members who took the uncontaminated elixir go berserk and eat people when they feel their lives are in danger because they have nothing to eat.”

“…What on earth did you feed them? To turn people into such monsters.”

“It’s better than suffering from fever and malaria. You… seem to be from the north but strangely enough you don’t seem to suffer from endemic diseases.”

“Well I won’t get bitten by mosquitoes and I can just drink the water as tea.”

“Is that possible….”

“Actually I got bitten a bit. But fortunately I don’t think I’ve caught it yet. Anyway you don’t have to worry about the food situation. Bel Hoda has promised to provide food.”

“What? In Bel Hoda? Those guys there are arrogant sugarcane plantation owners who think the world is theirs?”

“He is such an arrogant man who thinks the world is his…”

Azadin laughed at the sight of God who had been exalting himself with such great pretense saying such things. As the saying goes you can see the speck in another’s eye but you cannot see the plank in your own eye…

But if you become the leader of a new religion you will have to be intoxicated like this to be able to eat.

“I’ve already convinced the Bel Hoda farmers so you don’t have to worry about that.”

“You seem quite confident. Do you have any other requirements?”

“Yes. The enemies I know will contact the quartz throne of Btuma and weaken the light of the king’s fire before the Nagas invade in earnest. I want to stop them so can you introduce me to someone who is well-versed in the throne and castle structure of Btuma?”

“Oh by the way I know someone like that.”

“Who is it?”

“Swastika-Zadek.”

“If it’s Manja-Zadek then King Bthuma?”

“okay.”

“Can you introduce me?”

“Yes. But would the messenger clan dare to face the king?”

“Well we’re both human beings who eat bread and drink tea anyway so why wouldn’t we meet? And besides we’re meeting with the guarantee of the Cheonggeun Party? It would be even better if we had Manja-Zadek’s permission. It’s better to investigate the inside legally than to sneak in and touch the throne.”

“….”

“I wish I could introduce you quickly. So what should I do to stabilize your sect?”

“what?”

“Anyway I suddenly showed up and tarnished your reputation. There’s something I have to do to make up for it. I’ll listen as long as it’s not too much trouble.”

“You’re very articulate. Are you really saying that you didn’t come here to usurp my teachings?”

“That’s right. Of course I want to make you pay for the innocent people you killed in Adyrov but I’m dedicated to saving the lives of the Btouma people. For now I need your help in preventing the tragedy that is right before my eyes.”

“What a strange man. Is he really doing this to prevent the Nagas from invading Btuma?”

“Hey. Did you think that way when you first created Cheonggeundang? Seeing how much Jiswa trusts and likes you I guess you didn’t think that way at first.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Since he has lost his original intention doesn’t it seem like Jiswa’s actions are just a scheme to usurp his power? Jiswa isn’t that kind of person.”

When Azadin insisted that Jiswa’s motives were pure Cheonju snickered.

“No one claims to have pure goodwill. Even the one who hides a knife behind his back.”

“But if you can’t tell the difference between real favor and fake favor then that’s stupid. You’ve just become suspicious because you’ve been so caught up in the power struggle. First of all Jiswa isn’t smart enough to get involved in a power struggle. He’s too ‘pure’-minded to be interested in power.”

Jiswa is too stupid to get involved in a fight. Azadin was saying that indirectly.

“So you’re saying that you came here purely to save Btuma without any interest in power?”

“okay.”

“There can be no such thing as pure kindness. Especially not the Herald Clan. I thought the Herald Clan were bloodthirsty monsters.”

“That messenger clan also has complicated internal affairs right now.”

“Well I understand. I will recommend you to Manza-Zadek. But before that there is something I must do. Something I need to do to restore my authority. You promised me that right?”

“Okay. What’s the matter? As long as it’s not too much trouble I’ll listen. I also like it when you run the church well.”

“If it’s simple it’s simple. If it’s complicated it’s complicated. It depends on how you perceive it.”

“…Why do you make things so complicated?”

When Azadin asked Cheonju took a deep breath. Was he aware that his words could provoke Azadin and turn him into an enemy?

The determined God opened his mouth.

“You will become my adopted son.”

“….”

Although Azadin was a very intelligent man it took him a while to understand the words of God.

“What? Quantum? Me? Yours?”
