Chapter 156 – Why Hypnosis Doesn’t Work on Her – Part 1
The banquet hall of the gods was at the top of the sky tower that reached above the clouds in Jermina’s world.
It’s the first time I’ve seen so many gods at once.
The vigilance was so strict that you could see holy knights patrolling everywhere.
Are you okay. Let’s not be nervous.
Today I am not an uninvited guest.
Surrounded by the Holy Knights and forced to use hypnosis, unpleasant situations do not arise.
Rather, it would be better to call it a bodyguard.
I walk proudly to the entrance.
“The closest place to the moon. Welcome to Luminous, Mr. Decal.”
The holy knight bowed his head.
“Hmm.”
I straightened my back, stepped aside and walked among the holy knights into the banquet hall.
My hands are sweating.
Hebel had heard that the gods often set up a place to gather for fellowship, but
Anyway, since I had no ties to that kind of thing, it seems like my eyes are already spinning.
This is just a representation of memory.
Even if you tell yourself that you’re just looking back on what has already happened, the tension won’t go away.
It’s probably because I’m strongly recalling the feelings I felt at that time as the memories come back.
No matter how much I try to suppress it, it is useless.
No, it’s safe to say that the current me, the reproducer of memories, is shaking more.
Because.
It was because I vaguely felt that this page was the end of my memory.
… Why?
Perhaps this is my final stage.
This is because there is a high possibility that the hypnotic god decal died.
Damn. Let’s empty our thoughts and focus on the reproduction of memories.
It’s not cool to predict the ending based on the fact that the screening time is running out.
I took a deep breath and looked around.
A wide open garden under the moonlit night.
On one side, there are piles of food that I have never seen before. It’s like a buffet where you can pick and choose.
The gods are talking with their goblets and spreading out.
So, tables were set up everywhere to put food or glasses,
Attendants dressed in white and clean clothes were arranging the plates and cups that had been eaten, or putting the cups on a tray and serving them to the gods.
It’s a strange but imaginable look.
When I lived in modern times, I was born into an ordinary middle-class family.
Even if you have a home party, you can sit around a spacious table, have food and drinks, and talk…
Because it is the most natural
It is difficult to hold such a party on a very special day without renting a building with a large space.
There was one more thing I thought about because it was unexpected.
I thought it wouldn’t be strange if it were Jeremina to set the gods upright and have them praise her achievements.
This banquet hall has a surprisingly free spirit.
It doesn’t entice you to sit, and it doesn’t make you look at anything.
It felt like we were just walking around talking and having food and drinks.
My eyes followed the movements of the attendants, who bowed their heads lower than the goddesses who boasted of supreme beauty.
Ilesia… Where are you?
As I was growing my anxiety, I heard a murmur.
“Mrs. Jermina.”
“Jermina-sama!”
“You look so beautiful today too.”
It’s Jeremy.
I held my breath and watched it casually.
If you run, you will soon reach Jermina.
White hair embracing moonlight, red eyes that overwhelm creatures.
Jermina was still as beautiful and terrifying as she had been when she came into my house and despised me.
I know it when I come in contact with various gods. From the divinity worn on the body to the difference between heaven and earth.
Are you the god of the gods?
Jermina’s presence was overwhelming.
But my eyes are nailed to another woman next to her.
Shia, who had grown beyond recognition, was standing there.
Even if he doesn’t know his godhood, he has a beauty that doesn’t lose his light even next to Jeremina.
Melting black hair and holy green eyes.
This is the image of Illesia, the goddess I am familiar with.
No way…
“I will introduce you to them.
This child is Ilesia. He is my servant who received the power of light from Nimuel and was granted the 8th grade godhood.”
“Wow!”
“You are very beautiful. Lady Ilesia.”
“Thank you.”
… 8th grade god.
You’ve outgrown me before I knew it.
Unknowingly, I was clapping my hands along with the other gods.
You’re shrinking for nothing
I came to save you… Is it right to ask you to become my servant again?
No, it’s not natural to be right.
She’s the woman I’ve been looking at. There’s nothing strange about being favored by Jermina and becoming an 8th-level god.
I want to have sex with Ilesia to the point of getting tired of it.
I came all the way here just for that.
Let the banquet begin.
“After…”
I concentrated and clapped my hands twice.
Then all the gods except Illesia and Zermina naturally knelt down and bowed their heads.
Naturally, among the invited guests, I was the only one standing, and Ilesia and Zermina looked at me.
“Mister…!!”
“I wouldn’t say I didn’t expect it.
But I never thought I’d hypnotized all the gods I called.
I’m a little surprised.”
“…”
I walked forward and confronted Jermina.
From now on, every word and gesture will be put to the test of Jermina.
Immediate execution for non-compliance.
Even if you block all the gods, it’s meaningless if you can’t stop one Jeremina.
I lowered my eyes and got down on one knee to show my respect.
“Forgive me for the rudeness.
Jeremy.”
“Does not matter.
It is my will that has called you into the courtyard. He seems to be doing something in whispers lately…”
Were you noticing
“It’s something that even a child can predict that you’ll come looking for me anyway.
I was waiting for you to come prepared for me.”
… Okay.
The man who had no motivation so far began to move.
With the loss of Ilesia as an opportunity.
If so, it is easy to predict that, from Jermina’s point of view, she will come looking for her someday.
If you want to do anything, do it.
… That was the strength of the strong.
In fact, until this moment came, I had not been equipped with any method to materialize Jermina.
You can’t hypnotize.
Only minimal transactions were made.
“I’m here to get Shia back.”
“Hoo.”
Do not avert your eyes.
I was so curious about what kind of expression Sia would be making.
Right now, I was focusing all my attention on Jermina.
“I’m afraid it’ll interfere with the conversation, so I apologize for making it work in advance.”
“Didn’t you say it didn’t matter? Give me Illesia? What can you give me instead?”
“To this day, I have had 182 goddesses from the 4th to the 8th in the hierarchy on my side.
And these goddesses now, by my power.
If something happens to me, I’m bound to take action.”
“Huh-huh. Haha!”
Jermina laughed happily.
“What do you mean by that?
You dare to threaten me It’s fun. This is the first time since becoming a god.
So, what are you going to do with those 182 ‘lower gods’? Are you saying you’re going to attack me and my world all at once?”
“…”
No way. Was the pressing stone not enough?
It can’t be. The total number of gods in the world of harmony cannot exceed five hundred.
Most of them belong to the lesser gods that Jermina refers to.
Is it mere bluff? I feel sick.
“You’ve been doing your own calculations.
If I use those gods as bait, I and the harmony gods, who are fighting against the monster gods, won’t be able to move carelessly.
I would have thought.”
“…”
Can’t answer
It is also disadvantageous to reveal my will to the other person.
I waited for Jermina to speak quietly.
“You were foolish on two counts.
One is to see war from a human point of view.
The other would be able to weigh more than a hundred gods with me.”
Hot…
I laughed out of embarrassment.
“Even with this much power.
Are you saying I’m not up to Jermina-sama?”
“That’s right. Before the power of destruction, any power is meaningless.
When it comes to a power struggle with the monster gods, your existence is not even a speck of dust.
If you manage to earn time before the 2nd and 3rd level gods arrive, that’s enough for your life.”
“Well… I was roughly guessing.”
I brushed my knees and got up from my seat.
“Hmm?”
“I thought that no matter how many gods I tried, I wouldn’t be able to reach Jeremina.
If you look at simple capacity killing, even if you combine all the gods, you won’t be able to keep up with Jeremina-sama’s attack power.”
“…”
This time, Jermina shuts her mouth.
I think I realized that something unexpected happened.
Yes.
“Hey Jermina.
I never said I was implied to attack you.”
“…What?”
Jermina’s solution is close to the correct answer.
Not only is he strong, but he is much smarter than me.
Like Illesia, she must have been a talented person who was diligent and enjoyed learning.
I can feel Jermina’s intellect even when she invites me into the yard to play with God’s boredom.
That I, a fool, am not an opponent that can be defeated in an argument.
But…
There is only one wrong answer in that solution.
When it comes to dealing with hypnosis, no god can beat me.
What Jermina misunderstood was the content of the suggestion.
“It should have been by now.
All the goddesses went to the location I specified.”
“Specified location…?”
“Let’s say each of them is their own world. Now, what do you think I hinted at?”
“…!”
Jermina’s complexion turned pale.
I was probably the first to turn the God of Destruction white.
“You bastard, no way…!!”
“Yes. I have ordered all the gods to destroy the world in case something goes wrong with me.”
“I-are you insane. You bastard!”
“Let me reverse it. You made this mistake because you didn’t see war from a human point of view.
The way to win a war isn’t just about defeating your opponent.
182 world I held hostage… And, at least 500 worlds or more humans that will be destroyed even if Miss Jermina intervenes.
The estimated population is 5,000,000,000,000… What. I haven’t counted. As a rule of thumb, it will be as many as stars.”
“I asked if I was sane! This is no more than God’s judgment. No god would allow such a thing!”
“It’s none of my business!”
Who would love to do something like this?
Not enjoyable at all Not even my way. It can also lead to enormous casualties.
This is hypnosis that broke my creed.
From the beginning, I thought there was no other way. To get past this woman even for a moment.
Jermina gritted her teeth and glared at me.
“My life is at stake, so I have to buy this kind of insurance.
Jermina, even though he is an insignificant god to you, he is like heaven to humans.
If the harmony world goes to hell, Nimuel-sama won’t stand still.”
“…”
“I’m done talking.
Give me my girl.”
“Do you think I… Will do as you say?”
“Six hundred and eighty-two worlds and one Illesia.
This scale has odds on this side. I judged that.
Even though I can’t find a way to tip the scales on you, I can’t violate that body…”
It’s okay though.
Giving up one Jermina to get Illesia would be a valuable result.
“I must promise you.
Give Ilesia back, and refrain from interfering with us in the future.
Prohibit this and hang it around your neck!”
“By my power. To bind myself?”
“Okay.”
Only the God of Destruction can stop unprecedented destruction.
It’s funny like a pun.
But the operation worked well.
Jeremy pressed her lips to hers and her shoulders trembled at her wrath.
“You guys… You guys…!!
Are you going to say that you beat me with that kind of hair? If I condone the destruction of the world.
If this God of Destruction understands the destruction of all worlds. With that, your death will be a dog’s death!”
“No, it can’t be.”
“…!”
“Nimuel-sama at the end of every word. Nimuel-sama.
I knew from the first meeting that you had a crush on Nimuel.
The only God who can punish you. Supreme god. Two goddesses who have been called gods since they were born in this world.
It was a famous story among the gods that you longed for that nobility.”
“…”
“Jermina, give up.
You watch the destruction of the world, and you have no confidence in yourself except Nimuel-sama.
That is why I have no choice but to accept this offer.”
It’s all over.
I couldn’t even hear a breath.
She stepped out among the bowed gods, and I, she stood straight in front of me and glared at me.
