The Absolute Deity looked at Velophai and Lauren, who were sitting in front of him with an expressionless face.

She had called them as soon as she noticed Bercheria calling Velophai and Dipper, but Dipper had already gone towards the royal palace and couldn’t hear it.

Fortunately, Velophai responded to her call and was here.

Velophai wasn’t as close to the Absolute Deity as Racraxan, but he had been with the Absolute Deity for quite some time.

However, because he had a rough and unpredictable personality, their relationship with the Absolute Deity was not close.

To be more precise, the Absolute Deity did not like him.

There were rumors that the Absolute Deity named him the god of the sea and sent him away to the gods’ garden because he was annoying, causing trouble, and threw him to the human lands.

They said that there were enough reasons for such inflexible guys to be pushed to the border.

“Let me say it again; my demand is not over yet. Velophai, it’s not too late now. Create a distance between Racraxan and Bercheria. That will be the way to protect both the human land and the heavenly world.”

“Why are you so against the relationship between Racraxan and Bercheria? I can’t understand at all…”

Velophai looked at Lauren sitting next to him and mumbled, gazing.

Lauren, born with red hair, had an inherent ability to understand the language of the gods.

This was also a characteristic of kings who had lived communicating with the gods for a very long time, but due to the mixed blood of the royal family, it was inevitably a drawback to also have the desire for power.

When Velophai received a mission from the Absolute Deity this time, he utilized Lauren’s character to induce Bercheria to marry him.

Dernsiss, the wealthiest empire on the continent.

If Lauren, the prospective emperor there, and Bercheria became a couple, they would practically become the most powerful beings on the continent.

If they wished, combining three countries into one would not be a difficult task.

“Velophai, I, as the Absolute Deity, am giving you another chance. So, this time, stop pretending and deceiving my words using mere humans.”

“Hmm.”

Velophai clenched his fist and looked quietly at the Absolute Deity.

Since he was a being protecting humans, he could intervene to some extent in human free will compared to the Absolute Deity.

Of course, he couldn’t treat humans like puppets or force them in a dominant way, but he could persuade them quietly if he wanted to.

“Even so, it seems difficult for me to approach Racraxan and tell him to give up on Bercheria. I think it’s not that easy.”

The Absolute Deity, staring at Velophai, then placed a smooth bottle on the table they were sitting at.

“I didn’t explicitly tell you to say it.”
Lauren and Velophai looked at the bottle placed by the Absolute Deity and the sparkling wine inside it.

While keeping his gaze fixed on Velophai, the Absolute Deity pushed it closer to Lauren and said, “You don’t have to say anything special. Just by feeding this to Bercheria, the problem will be solved.”

“Is that something you’re saying to me, or is it to Lauren?”

“Obviously!”

The Absolute Deity, who had kept his gaze fixed on Velophai, turned it towards Lauren with a sly smile.

“To you, Velophai.”

When Lauren’s gray eyes met the Absolute Deity’s, he instinctively shrugged his shoulders.

The divine power was beyond what he, a mere human, could handle.

Velophai looked at the Absolute Deity, who was behaving childishly, with narrow eyes.

The gray hair of the Absolute Deity, which had looked somewhat dense until recently, was now closer to white.

Although Velophai couldn’t understand what it meant, he knew that the Absolute Deity was not a complete being.

People believed that with the name Absolute Deity alone, she could do anything and dominate everything, but this was because the Absolute Deity named herself an absolute existence.

Even if Bercheria and Racraxan knew how to kill a god and found the god annoying, there were times when Velophai wondered if it was necessary to go this far when she hadn’t even declared her intention to kill the Absolute Deity.

But if all of this was the Absolute Deity’s impatience to reveal her own weakness, he could understand it all.

She was so engrossed in presenting herself as stronger than anyone else that she was afraid of revealing her weakness behind it.

“Velophai, I’ll tell you something you seem to have forgotten for a moment. I know and see more things than you think.”

“…Is that so.”

“Of course. I am the Absolute Deity.”

“I see.”

“If you can’t stop Bercheria and Racraxan, what awaits at the end is the end of humanity. Do you understand what I mean?”

“…”

“This is not my personal problem.”

Rather than being threatened, Lauren, who was surprised by the low voice of the Absolute Deity, was astonished.

“The end of humanity?”

When Lauren stood up and shouted, the Absolute Deity turned her head towards Lauren slowly.

“Huh.”

A sly smile spread across her lips.
