Chapter 173

173.

The being that appeared inside the god palanquin was a beautiful woman with her eyes closed.

month by month month by month.

To be precise, it was a doll of a woman realistic enough to be mistaken for a human if it weren’t for the sound that was heard every time it moved.

“That’s the ancient Tracotti’s guardian...”

“That mannequin is Wismel, right?”

“Hmm....”

Kang Seung-hyun looked at the Wizmel doll that appeared.

– Red, long hair that goes down to the waist.

– Thin and long fingers.

-In addition, there are unique patterns engraved all over the body.

It seemed to reproduce Wismel’s description as seen in the archives.

‘A doll created by the best puppeteer in Tracotti and his apprentice.’

In terms of perfection, it would be comparable to Wismel itself.

{Wizmel-sama ah... Wismel-sama!}

Pengrill approached Wismel and knelt down.

It was a makeshift doll, so it couldn’t even show its expression, but it seemed that it was unbearably happy to see that its voice was so excited.

{You’ve waited a long time. Even though it took hundreds of years... I sincerely congratulate you on becoming the God of Tracotti again.}

It was a sight that felt all the more bizarre because both of them were wearing doll bodies.

{Do you see those fools?}

Pengrill shouted, pointing at Kang’s group.

{Those who do not believe in Wismel-sama interfere with the sacred ceremony... They are sinners who have committed an irreversible sin!}

“What is it? A bad guy who kills people!”

Kim Ho-jeong, who was listening to the story, was angry and heard the golden glory. Pengrill didn’t care and talked calmly.

{So punish them!}

Dalgak Dalgak Dalgak.

As soon as Pengrill finished speaking, Wismel approached the three of them.

“It’s a punishment...”

“Ah~ Well, it’s just a doll, right? There can be no god like that!”

Rebecca looked at it with a blank face, but Kim Ho-jung shouted with a golden glory.

“Let’s smash it coolly!”

“Mr. Kim Ho-jeong.”

“huh?”

“Prepare your mind first.”

Kang Seung-hyun drank the stamina potion.

“Why are you doing that... Huh?”

Crackle.

At that moment, Wismel reached out and moved his fingers.

Woo woo woo.

At the same time, a heavy sensation that seemed to oppress the air hit the three of them.

‘It’s started.’

Koo Goo!

“Ughhhh!”

“Hee hee hee....”

“....”

The pressure was such that it was difficult to breathe properly.

Rebecca collapsed on the floor because she couldn’t stand upright, and Kim Ho-jeong could barely hold on, relying on her golden glory.

“What happened.... My body is so heavy!”

“Look ahead.”

Rebecca couldn’t see it, but a message window appeared in front of the two of them.

[I feel awe.]

[My mental strength begins to decline.]

[Awe].

Like the rare monster’s [Intimidation], it is a special skill possessed by divine beings.

“What is this?”

“[Awe] is an ability that lowers the sanity of lower-ranking beings the moment they become aware of it.”

“Cut your spirit?”

Since you have to have high mental strength to endure [awe], it was usually not easy to face God, let alone fight.

“Is that why you are out of breath? Is the teacher okay?”

‘Only in theory.’

[Decomposition ★] can easily dismantle simple items, but the higher the grade of the item to be dismantled, the higher the stamina consumption.

“Don’t you remember? The last time I dismantled an escape portal, an enormous amount of stamina was consumed.”

“Oh right. At that time, Sensei, it took even depletion of stamina.”

“Even the boss monster’s items are about that much... What would happen if you disassembled a doll with the power of a god?”

Moreover, Kang Seung-hyun is seriously injured.

Trying to dismantle a high-ranking item with a body like this would put a huge strain on the body.

“If you’re unlucky, you might lie down for a while or just die.”

“Should I have brought more stamina potions?”

“More than anything else, the problem is...”

Paaaaaa!

“Aww! Come again!”

“You have to be able to get close.”

I couldn’t approach it because Wismel continued to fire flash waves.

If you approach to dismantle the doll, you will be hit by the waves and your entire body will be turned to powder and destroyed.

“First jump out!”

The three of them ran away from the flash wave.

“Didn’t he say that he was definitely a good god? Wouldn’t he forgive me if I begged for it...”

“Originally, though.”

Seunghyun Kang looked at Wismel.

“Maybe not now.”

It is clearly a divine being, but its body is a doll created by a puppeteer.

In addition, the puppeteer can control the puppets he has created.

‘In other words, it means that he is a god who can control Pengril at will.’

A god who does not control humans, but is controlled by humans.

It is too harsh an ending for a god who has been resurrected after hundreds of years.

‘Of course, Pengrill wouldn’t be aware that he was manipulating the gods. He thinks that everything he does is Wismel’s will.’

Seunghyun Kang looked at the pen grill.

He looked very calm even though his real body was left like garbage.

{If you say that you will become a follower of Wismel, I will spare your life.}

“Really?”

{Because I have to prepare the Ego Golem material for the guard that will protect Tracotti.}

“Is that saving lives! I’m not saying you’re going to turn it into a golem and eat it!”

Kim Ho-jeong asked with a puzzled face,

but aaaa!

I had to force my mouth shut because of the flashing waves coming from behind.

“Damn, is there really no way to win?”

“Do you think Kim Ho-jeong can fight and win against a raging typhoon or tsunami?”

“How do you overcome that? Avoid!”

“So is the divine being. It’s easier to avoid than to fight.”

Actually, there is no way at all.

Because running away is the easiest way.

“But if we run away, who will save Tracotti...”

“That’s right.”

“As expected, ‘that’... should I write it?”

If they escape like this, the two might be able to survive. After all, he was a veteran dimension mover who had survived for three years.

However, it is impossible to save the people who were sacrificed for making dolls, and Pengrill, who controls the gods, cannot stop it no matter what he does.

‘Not only Tracotti, but the area around Lake Pittsta, and perhaps the entire western part of the Azel Continent will be swallowed up.’

Humans who have gained the power of a god all face a similar end.

Pengrill won’t be much different.

‘Well, running away isn’t my taste, and it’s no fun if I just leave like this.’

I had no intention of running away in the first place.

Because Kang Seung-hyun was a person who would find a way at all costs.

‘If I take the initiative somehow, I think I’ll have a chance.’

It was then.

:Hey, I want to help

. It was a very soft and warm voice that I had never heard before.

:Use the power of your left hand.:

At the same time, a bright light radiated from Seunghyun Kang’s left hand.
