488: New World Deity

New World Deity

Once the Goddess of Light fully faded, Ren finally remembered the reason why they went to the Holy Kingdom in the first place. He came here with Valdel and Lara to find the location to the entrance of the underworld, but as things went out of control so fast, they totally forgot about their main purpose.  2

'Well, it doesn't really matter, I can just ask Silika. Heck, even Tsukiyomi might know where the entrance is. I could also just go to one of those other temples that have invited me to visit, overall this isn't really a problem. Though I wonder if Valdel realized that we have forgotten our main objective.' 

As Ren was shrugging his shoulders he suddenly felt a massive amount of Divine Energy entering his body. The damage he had sustained during the fight was being healed. Ren who was surprised for a few seconds finally understood what was happening. 

'I defeated a World Deity so I was chosen as the next one to gain the title... I see... So this the power of a world deity.' 

Ren then started to hear the voices of different beings praying to the Light, there was also a stream of information forcefully inserted into his mind, as his body was also slowly changing into something different. He could feel that once he fully changes into a world deity he would be forced out of this mortal plane. 

'Hmm... Divine Energy doesn't depend on my strength, hmph this kind of power is boring to have and is pretty much limited. I don't really need it, and it doesn't really matter as I already decided who to give this title to. Oh but first, let me talk to that guy.' 

Ren looked at the hero Kim Chul who was standing at a distance. He then moved towards him, with the law of Light, Ren was able to move as fast as light itself. This was faster than how he normally moves. The only reason he was able to keep up with the Goddess of Light during battle was because of his superior reflexes and his battle experience which made him able to predict most of the Goddess of Light's actions. 

...

Kim Chul who had watched the entire battle from start to finish was in awe as it felt like he was watching a real-life anime battle, well the battles he had were also anime-like, but compared to Ren's his was more like a fight from an anime with pretty good martial arts fights, but Ren's was more akin to something from an anime with golden-haired planet busters. As he was still trying to calm himself down from the excitement of watching the battle between Ren and the Goddess of Light, Ren suddenly appeared before him. 

"I'll get straight to the point. Do you want to go home to your own world? With the abilities granted to me by becoming a world deity, as the successor of the one who had summoned you into this world, I have the right to send you back. So do you wish to return to your world?" 

Kim Chul was surprised to hear Ren's question. So he could actually return. Ever since he was transferred into this world he never thought of returning. This was the world transfer that most otakus like him dream of, yet it wouldn't be a lie to say that he didn't miss his friends and family. After the brainwashing had worn off, his homesickness has been growing lately. If not for the mission of protecting demi-humans he would've slowly gone insane from anxiety. 

As Kim Chul was about to answer, someone suddenly tugged onto his sleeves. It was one of the demi-human children that he saved. 

"Are you leaving us? I thought you promise to be with us and protect us?" The demi-human child was on the verge of tears. Ever since Kim Chul protected them he became their hero, but more than that to most of the demi-human children that no longer have parents, Kim Chul became something like a father figure to them. 

When Kim Chul heard what the demi-human child said his hesitation disappeared and he smiled. 

"Since you're able to bring me back, that would mean you can do that any time right?" 

"That is true, though I'm not going to be a World Deity for long, the person that will replace me will have the power to bring you back anytime you want." 

"I see, that's good enough. So I think I'll be staying for a while more." Kim Chul patted the head of the crying demi-human child. Ren shook his head and shrugged his shoulders as he replied. 

"Suit yourself." After hearing Kim Chul's decision Ren headed towards the area Valdel and the others were at. Tsukiyomi was also there now bickering with Lara. 

"Kukuku, so the traitorous b*tch actually reincarnated again. How long are you going to stick to him like a cockroach?" 

"Heh, look who's talking aren't you the cockroach here? Oh right, sorry you're not a cockroach you're a washboard." 

The two were smiling at each other but their killing intent was explosive. 

"Kukuku, look who's talking at least I'm not a fatty with excessive meat on me." 

"Who are you calling fat, you damn washboard?!" Lara took out her bow and gathered mana into an arrow aimed at Tsukiyomi.

"Stop saying washboard you f*cking fatty!" Tsukiyomi created a sword and pointed it at Lara. The two then glared at each other, when Ren suddenly appeared before them. He didn't bother the two women fighting and instead spoke to Kor.

"Hey Kor, you wanted to save your brethren from oppression right?" 

"Huh... Oh yes, I do." Kor wasn't expecting Ren to talk to him and was startled by his question. 

"Now that most of the believers of the Temple of Light are gone, you can start over. It might take a while to achieve your dream of equality if you go about it your way. So why don't I give you a boost? I can give you a better position so that you can make a better Holy Kingdom. So Kor, how about you become the new God of Light?" 

"Huh?" Kor and Mir looked at Ren dumbfounded by his proposal.
