Chapter 480

Gods definitely exist in this world. Of course, there are blessings, blessings, and miracles, but the concept of divine punishment belongs to the unfamiliar side.

There is no particular reason for that. Just because the gods are generous.

When problems arise, they trust that mortals can solve them, and when blasphemy arises, ‘this blasphemer!’ instead of casting a warning.

Except for very few exceptional circumstances, since that is the basic policy taken by the gods who look down on this world, the concept that the gods directly punish them is only applicable to the bastards of the world, and is by no means common.

‘Oh right. There was something like that.’ It means that this feeling is the universal view of dealing with divine punishment.

So when that actually happened, the war literally stopped as everyone went into a brain freeze.

I initially thought someone had set a box of flash grenades in the air.

However, even though the battlefield looked black and white due to the tremendous light, I realized that there were no abnormal symptoms, let alone dazzling, so I noticed the strangeness earlier than others.

While looking at the source, feeling the divine power spreading like a breeze or like sand blown away by a storm, the light fell once more, and when I realized what the light was, all of them stopped moving, regardless of whether they were demons or humans. He turned his head and looked at the rear camp of the Demon King’s army.

No sound, no shock. As if looking at a muted world through a monitor, pure white light flashes, turning the world into black and white each time.

Seeing the light, both sides began to withdraw to their respective camps as if they had promised.

The intentions would have been completely different. The Demon King’s Army is close to recognizing that the light is falling on their headquarters and retreating, recognizing that it is a terrifyingly serious situation, and it is probably because we did not want to be swept away unfairly by sticking together with the ‘real’ divinely punished ones.

Even with the few Demon Lords who were sitting down and weaving as if they had been hit by that ray of light, no one swung a sword or attempted to make a bold charge. Rather, they sneakily avoid it as if they had seen a plague-ridden one.

No one even said anything about it.

There was no difference between the superhumans who were fighting each other.

No, it was a little different. As soon as the sword master stopped moving, the guy who wielded the ax spear ran toward the base with the same momentum that he had rushed to the battlefield.

It was truly superhuman to take action without saying a word even in this situation.

“Eh, isn’t it amazing?”

And such boldness was not easy even for our superhuman side.

She had no regrets about the retreating axe spear, and without hesitation, she turned around and immediately turned to me.

There was only one reason why it was possible even in a complicated battlefield. While the soldiers were splitting like bees into their camps, I was almost alone on the battlefield.

“I’ve often heard from the hero. I’m Santua Santri, a member of the Imperial Guard of the Eshnua Empire.”

“Divine intervention? Not an enemy attack?”

“...that.”

There is no intention to put pressure on the gaze that naturally gathers on the hesitant soldier. It’s just full of endless questions.

As a result, the soldier was able to maintain his composure and carry on his difficult conversation while receiving the attention of the commander and other soldiers.

“There was such a counter-question among them, but if this is an enemy raid, our enemy... will be a god...”

The soldiers feared that it was the intervention of such a powerful enemy, and the commanders who knew the truth to some extent were afraid that they had really incur the wrath of God.

After that, reports continued, but there was no ‘command’. Even after defeating the soldiers who finished the report, time passed as no one was able to open their mouth first.

In the vaguely passing time, it was another soldier who rushed in urgently to bring about a change in the increasingly heavy command post.

“Bo, I have a report! A special operations command direct investigation unit has just arrived via teleportation magic!”

As a result, questions lingered in the minds of the commanders, who were only white. I haven’t even seen it yet, so soon? Even if it was observed with the naked eye, it would have been difficult to pinpoint the location.

“Are you coming here?”

“No, I went to check the scene right away...”

“...Okay.”

From the moment the Special Operations Unit investigation unit is dispatched, it has higher authority than the commander-in-chief of that unit. And it appears only in situations where it is inevitable to understand that such authority is being given.

The commanders got up from their seats, feeling sorry for themselves who were relieved that they were in such a special situation.

I didn’t need a guide or anything. After all, all directions were ‘sites’. As expected, they soon encountered a caped survey unit.

Responding to that was a man wearing a uniform that was as angular as the horns, standing behind the troops surveying the surroundings and silently crossing his arms. The unified uniform was also a uniform, but the man, who was even more differentiated because of his neatness far from the battlefield, even wears angular glasses, which makes you wonder if he is a person who embodies strictness.

However, the eyes drooping low enough to overturn the impression that such an outfit gave off gave the impression of being infinitely lazy.

As if someone wears clothes deliberately and reluctantly.

“four?”

Even talking seemed annoying. Someone who understood that that short word was a question cautiously opened his mouth.

“...The commander-in-chief and other commanders are dead.”

“ah.”

The man, who had seen the enormous damage with his own eyes, maintained an attitude of not being impressed, and turned his head to the scene of the incident again, and gave the order as if it were not a big deal.

“Ordered by authority of Special Operations Command. Troop withdrawal.”

It took some time for the soldiers and commanders around them to understand that the order meant giving up the front line that had been held unwaveringly for years, but there was no refutation.
