Chapter 324: The Creator God’s Worries (2)

Divine Realm

“Hey, Gramps. What’s up?”

“Oh, Sea God, you’ve come.”

The Creator God summoned the Sea God, and he came.

“Just take a look at *that *first.”

The Creator God pointed to —

“W-What…is that?”

The lower half of a person was ‘sprouted’ out of the Creator God’s shrine.

“It’s Evil God.”

“... Huh?”

“That guy sticking out of my shrine is the Evil God, I’m telling you.”

“Eh”

“I heard a loud crash just a while ago so I went outside to check, and this is what I saw.”

“E-Eh? I-Is this guy alright!? Just what in the world happened here?”

“Well, his body wasn’t obliterated, so it’ll probably be fine. As for what happened —”

The Creator God shook his head.

He then explained very reluctantly what had transpired.

“It’s Halt.”

“Huh?”

“Halt Ernol. Aren’t you Halt’s rival friend?”

“T-That’s right, but…What did he have to do with this?”

“Halt punched Evil God and sent him flying here.”

“...What?”

“Sea God, Sky God, Earth God, and Evil God. I have created your bodies to be sturdy, second only to my own body. This Shrine could be ranked third in terms of sturdiness after your bodies.

The Creator God’s Shrine was supposedly very sturdy, and yet Evil God’s upper half had completely sank into it.

“Evil God… You were aware that Halt will punch Evil God, weren’t you?”

“Y-Yeah. I went to visit him, and that’s when he told me that he was worried that Evil God will retaliate, so I protected his family.”

Deities couldn’t attack their fellow deities.

The Sea God used that to their advantage. He protected Halt’s family from the Evil God by staying with them.

“No way, I never thought he’d blast Evil God from that guy’s own shrine to this place…”

“Fumu, I see. Well, that’s fine.”

Creator God drew closer to the stuck Evil God.

“This is the problem.”

“Problem… We can just take him out right away, right?”

“But, what would we do if we provoked his wrath when we did that?”

“W-Wrath? A-Are you talking about Halt?”

“That’s right. You know just how far this guy’s shrine is from mine, don’t you?”

“Y-Yeah.”

The Evil God’s shrine was the farthest from the Creator God’s compared to all the other deities.”

“I absolutely don’t want to get punched by that force that could blast Evil God from that place and crash and stick him in this shrine!!”

The Creator God feared that he would incur Halt’s wrath if he were to rescue the Evil God.

“No, that guy probably won’t get mad because of that… Halt really reveres Gramps, you know?”

“Umu. I know that, but… Just in case. If Halt knew that I saved Evil God, then —”

The deity that created this world was terrified of a mere human who possessed unimaginable strength.

“Yeah. Got it. Then, I’m gonna pull this one out, then send him all the way back to his shrine. Then, I’ll tell Halt I’m the one who did it.”

“That’s a relief if you do that… Sorry for the trouble.”

The Creator God brightened up because he didn’t have to be the one to help Evil God.

“Oh, come to think of it, you also fight against Halt from time to time, right? How do you keep up with that Bakemono?”

“Yeah, well, that guy’s going easy on me, so it’s been a lot of fun.”

“T-That Halt really is terrifying, considering he’s holding back on you…”

“Hahaha, isn’t it too late for that now. This guy’s to blame for everything.”

Sea God pulled Evil God’s body roughly from the wall.

The Evil God had it coming and it was also his own fault, since he was the one who killed and cursed Halt.

“Uwah… Good thing his face wasn't the part that was hit.”

“How terrible…”

Halt had punched Evil God in the gut with all he got.

He managed to preserve his body frame, but his entire body was in tatters.

The Creator God unwittingly started to cast heal, but —

“No, maybe it’s better not to heal him.”

“Yeah. He’s one of the Four Great Deities, so it’s fine even if Gramps don’t do that…”

“Umu. I don’t want Halt to get angry at me. Alright then, I’m leaving his send-off to you, Sea God! You have to tell Halt properly that you’re the one who did it, got it?”

The Creator God disappeared, leaving those words behind.

He was requesting that he be left out of Evil God’s rescue.

“Gramps, you’re too scared of Halt… But then, I don’t wanna be like this too, that’s for sure.”

The Sea God lifted the battered Evil God then he headed towards the Evil God’s shrine.

“Didn’t imagine that tiny smidget urchin had become someone powerful enough to make the Creator God, Master of this World, to cower.”

The Sea God recalled the first time Halt visited him.
