Chapter 368 God of Victory (2)

It will be a world where everyone keeps order.

It wasnt an exact expression.

In the world of the God of Order, order will not be something to be kept.

In that world, order will be as natural as breathing.

Order will be the worlds most powerful law.

There is no possibility of breaking order.

In this world, there are cases where it is unavoidable to break the rules, but the world of the God of Order will be perfectly structured to prevent such accidents.

It would be like a factory.

Like a program, people digest a set schedule from birth to death without any errors.

People maintain the world and devote their faith.

In fact, it will be the same regardless of the holy place of any god.

From the perspective of believers, the holy land is nothing more than a factory of faith.

However, in the case of the God of Order, the expression of factory came to mind.

Considering the propensity of the God of Order, all the established rules will be kept perfectly.

People will live within a set frame without any deviation.

At first glance, it felt similar to what I had expected of the holy land of the God of Sky.

On the other hand, the God of Sky will only force equality on all, but the God of Order will force more mediocrity.

What kind of order is that?

Hochi said.

It seems that his question has not been resolved since earlier

What is considered natural order in some places can be treated as heresy in others. Does it exist in the first place, an order that can be applied equally to all worlds?

Hmm.

Hearing Hochis question, I scratched my chin.

It was a problem I hadnt thought of.

Is it similar to the tutorial system?

He is the God of Order who claimed that the Tutorial was his own world.

It was possible that the holy land of the God of Order resembled a tutorial.

But when I recalled the Tutorial, I couldnt tell for sure what kind of order it contained.

There was no social discipline.

Although there were days of dialogue agreement day or community, it was conditional, and it was always optional.

The only clear order in the Tutorial was a few unbreakable propositions.

You must clear the Tutorial before you can go outside.

If you die in the Tutorial, you really die.

The simple rules of that kind.

My thoughts became more complicated.

I decided to ask the God of Hope.

The former apostle of the God of Order will know of the ideal order pursued by the God of Order.

[I do not know.]

Damn it.

He doesnt know anything.

Oh, of course, if he knew so much, he wouldnt stop talking.

However, he did not know about the important and necessary information.

[How can I guess that there is an ideal for a machine god who doesnt even have an ego? I was just going to do that.]

It didnt help.

Really.

Hmmhmm. There is a text from a book I read deeply.

Hochi coughed and said abruptly.

Dragon Raja?

Oh, that! How did you know?

How many books do you think Hochi will bring out, saying he read them deeply?

It was me who wrote the books in the first place.

I read it there, and order is one aspect of chaos.

Hochi said with a serious face as if saying something very important and meaningful.

So?

Maybe the world of the God of Order is unexpectedly normal. Moderately harmonious, moderately confusing.

Do you think so?

I disagree.

Although order may belong to chaos, it was unlikely that the God of Order would include chaos in order.

Again, the theme came to what the God of Order thinks is order.

Order is seen as an objective and public discipline.

However, that objectivity is inevitably diluted in the face of diversity.

In Korea, the sentence people eat a lot of kimchi can be an objective fact.

But in Wakanda, its not obvious.

Therefore, order can be regarded as subjective.

In the Holy Land of the God of Order, all rules will be established under the supervision of the God of Order, so this would be more correct.

[I can tell you that.]

The God of Hope whispered.

Suddenly I had doubts.

I doubted that the God of Hope would tell me something.

Maybe this guy is saying he knows something but he doesnt know it well.

[Really.]

The God of Hope grumbled and spoke as if it was unjust.

[Arent you curious about the order that the God of Order thinks about? The subject of order and its ideals?]

I nodded my head in affirmation.

[As I have said, the God of Order is a mechanical god without ego. If so, what is the subjectivity?]

I dont know that.

There were too few clues to speculate on the subjectivity of the God of Order.

[Simple.]

The God of Hope said calmly.

[The subjectivity of the God of Order is the subjectivity of the creator. The ideal of the God of Order will also be the ideal of its creator.]

*

-Homen.

It was the closing comment of the broadcast.

Damn it.

Hey, you changed the name of our denomination, right?

Oh, thats right.

Replied Hochi, who was rummaging through the newspaper.

I was upset.

I announced my name as the God of Victory, and accordingly, the name of the denomination was announced again.

People were still saying Homen Homen.

It sticks well to your mouth.

Just say Homen and I wont even talk to you.

People were also still using the name Lee Ho-jae Faith.

It wasnt worth the trouble to tell them of my status as a deity.

To be honest, the response is a little bad.

What.

The God of Victory. Its kind of like something someone with second-year syndrome would say.

My world.

Second year syndrome.

(T/N: second year syndrome or more commonly known as chniby where early teens (middle school) convinced themselves they have hidden knowledge or powers.

Oh sorry. But to be honest, its kind of like that.

Hochi apologized for being too harsh.

The truthful apology hurts even more.

You have been associated with the gods in the Tutorial. But its kind of unfamiliar to be accepted by ordinary people. Lee Ho-jae Faith is more comfortable.

It was true.

Compared to the existing religions of Earth, I am clearly an unfamiliar new deity.

What shall we do?

Hochi asked.

I pondered for a while and answered.

Leave it. Use whatever you are comfortable with.

If it was simply because my reasoning wasnt spread, I could just skip it.

Although its a little embarrassing every time I hear it.

As Hochi said before, it will become dull someday.

Is that okay?

Hochi asked.

Of course it wasnt okay.

The gods dont just put forth their deity name for no reason.

It is possible to receive faith by using a nickname other than the divine name, but then the quality of faith will deteriorate.

Just as the God of Hope gains more power of faith when believers think of themselves with intense hope, rather than just worshiping the name.

It was important to put up the concept of faith.

If you lose something else, isnt it just a matter of losing your strength?

Hochi asked without hesitation.

He did that because Hochi had no interest in divinity and did not study.

There was something I picked up, but I didnt know for sure.

Thats okay.

It wasnt the best way to get power.

As much as the members of Earth give me faith, there is a perception that I must protect and take care of them with a minimum sense of responsibility.

There is no need to impose the best way to receive faith from believers.

However, it became necessary to devise the best way to protect the believers.

This was really annoying.

It doesnt matter if I can completely protect the believers.

If something like the last time, the invasion of the Pantheon happens, it will become quite difficult.

It was a reckless act to directly attack the giants and the Pantheon gods.

The decision was made by speculation without knowing the enemys history.

It was also an unavoidable judgment.

To minimize damage to Earth and its people.

It wasnt the best judgment for an efficient victory.

But on the contrary, if I had to aim for a safe victory at the expense of Earths people, the damage of Earth could be considered defeat to me.

There are more losses than benefits anyway.

Overwhelmingly.

It was for this reason that the Old Man and Seregia have always warned me.

I smiled and moved on saying I knew it.

Seregia was still concerned about the risk of my judgment.

Hochi got up from his seat saying he knew.

Somehow, as the work increased, it became more common for Hochi to go outside.

He just stopped by to watch the first broadcast of the newly created Lee Ho-jae Faith religious channel together, but he had to go back to work immediately.

I was alone again.

Yong-yong, Seregia, and the giants were back on the 61st floor.

Oh, I wasnt alone.

Because there was the God of Hope.

But the God of Hope was also strangely quiet.

It was a perfect situation to organize my thoughts calmly by myself.

I opened the quest window.

I didnt do much, but most of the quests were completed.

What stands out is the quest of the God of Order and the God of Adventure, which remains unfinished.

This is a quest window created by Kirikiri.

Its function is to display quests, but it is also possible to contact Kirikiri.

However, communication has been interrupted for a while.

I tried to contact Kirikiri again and again, but no answer came back.

I was always curious about her intentions.

It has been like that since I first saw her.

Anyone would have.

A bright field that appeared when I barely cleared that hellish stage.

The rabbit was happy jumping endlessly.

I was always curious about her goals and tried to find out.

Whenever that happened, Kirikiri gently shared her intentions.

One by one.

To fulfill ones responsibility and duties.

To support talented challengers.

For a friend who presents a cake every time we meet.

To properly grow a challenger who will be an outstanding apostle.

To grow him into a Joker card that will free her from the systems constraints.

To use the boundaries of the system to keep the Rulers and the God of Hope in check.

But I couldnt erase the feeling that she always had more motives.

It was like that every time.

Actually, Kirikiri always had more intentions than what she was telling me.

And now is really the time.

I have to figure out what Kirikiris final goals are.

What is the ideal Kirikiri wishes for?

How much is the God of Order, which is gaining self and becoming a transcendent god in line with Kirikiris ideals?

Are they contradicting again?

What is Kirikiris intention?

I had to find out how far and what is it that the God of Adventure is looking towards, the God of Adventure that created the present system and won against the God of Slowness who was trying to swallow up the entire universe.

[Im sorry you seem to be thinking about something important, but there is something you need to know right now.]

The God of Hope who had remained quiet said.

What is it.

[Voting has begun.]

Between the Hundred Gods Temple?

[Yes.]

Hundred Gods Temple who are bound by many restrictions, as an exception can reset their boundary of behaviors by voting.

It was possible to reward the challenger beyond what was allowed, or force the challenger to move to the next stage.

From what Ive seen and heard, Ive known that voting happens very often and routinely.

[By the way, the subject of the voting is a little.]

The God of Hope blurred the end of his words.

An embarrassment emerged from his voice.

What kind of vote is it, is it?
