The Outer God Needs Warmth

Chapter 68

“The one who speaks here is the greatest of the martial world, the greatest of all time, and the greatest under the heavens. With no enemies remaining in the world, I have surpassed even the gods you once revered. I do not seek your insignificant power.”

The Heavenly Demon replied.

Despite being a cross-dressing man, his face was filled with pride. He was not someone who lied.

Lying is surprisingly difficult. You must grasp reality, predict the future, and then create a false event to deceive.

That’s why perfect lies are hard.

It’s far easier to bury the harsh reality as it is.

Yet, it’s funny how many choose to sink rather than apologize or face the truth.

But no, the important part here is not whether the Heavenly Demon is lying or not.

“Why have you called me?”

He lived rather well, especially for a Harvester, and died in the end. This world is ruled by strength, so, unlike other worlds, he overcame his problems through sheer power.

Thus, he thought this world would never be in a state to rise again until someone else fell to the surface.

So, it’s likely not connected to Eunjae. If I look around, the techniques of Yasler that I know seem completely different.

He called me using entirely different methods.

Perhaps he called me with an ulterior motive.

Unlike that witch, does he have the ability to summon me this time?

Hehe.

Then, it’s worth the effort. It’s a big value to think through.

I stared at the Heavenly Demon. He stared back at me. Then, slowly, he spoke.

“Can the transformation and energy infusion you did for the God of War be done for anyone?”

Transformation? Eunjae said something like that when he first became a Harvester, looking down at his own body. I searched through the faded man’s memory, and such things appear in martial arts genres.

Gaining a new body. Energy infusion is transferring your energy to another person. Although he was thrashing around, saying it wasn’t the faded man’s fault, I didn’t care.

In short, those two words are referring to a Harvester.

“Yes. That’s correct. The last time, following the request of someone who called me, I gave blessings to three people a day.”

I’m still unsure if the contract document is usable. And recklessly using it could spread too much like last time, which would be troublesome.

This time, I’ll control the numbers and increase them gradually.

So, what I did in the previous world, I spoke of it as if it were my ability. In fact, there’s no limit to the numbers. I know because I’ve used the contract document in a wide place and turned tens of thousands into Harvesters all at once.

But the limited resources, like a lottery, are important. That creates desire, doesn’t it?

And as desire grows, I can make demands.

For example, on how I was summoned to this world.

Hehe.

“I have one thing to say.”

I spread both hands and gestured with no harm, speaking of the contract document.

“I’ll offer myself to you. But once you’ve finished everything, I’ll take everything you have. What do you think?”

The Heavenly Demon stared at me for a long time after hearing my words.

“Is there a price to this?”

Oh, right. This is a transaction. Quick to catch on, aren’t you?

But I’m not planning on taking a sacrifice. Increasing uncontrollable monsters is only a headache.

“I’ve said everything.”

I already mentioned in the contract document that I would take everything later.

Of course, I’m not asking for anything else. I’m just taking warmth.

But since I’m unsure about what might happen, I’ll keep the contract document as it is.

I don’t want to tamper with it and risk something going wrong.

Sure, a cleaner sentence might come out, but it’s still too early for me to take risks.

Let’s take the safe route. Safely.

The path seems to be showing itself.

I’ll think more about it, but if I pour enough freedom into it, the light will grow.

Hehe. The warmth increases.

I laughed as I looked at the Heavenly Demon.

“I’ve done what a human desires.”

Then I looked at my body. There’s a chance that someone like Rebecca, using my body, could survive.

If so, a little favor would be fine.

I’ll make sure people won’t forget, and let’s call her name.

“As you know, my name is Chosul. Please call me that.”

Chosul is the name of the body I’m inhabiting, just like Rebecca Rolf.

I’m tall, but since I’m young, my chest is flat, and my figure is quite plain. Just like Rebecca Rolf, the body is used as a vessel.

Could it be that children are more suitable for holding things?

But this child, unlike Rebecca, wasn’t caught after living a normal life. She was raised for a specific role from the beginning.

Most of her life has been fleeting, and I remember often training in a strange space where I was first dragged in.

Even though it was called training, it was more like taking a lot of drugs and thinking hard about the words spoken outside in a dazed state. By the end, they’d gouge my eyes out, cast a spell, and tie me up in cloth.

This time, however, it wasn’t a drug; it was a wet cloth that made my breath feel dazed.

Chosul seems like she was raised to become a sacrifice.

It’s hard to spread this much effort widely.

No, this might actually be the perfect method for me. I’ll take the opportunity to gain knowledge, just like last time.

When I said my name, the Heavenly Demon stared at me as if trying to figure out my true intentions.

But I don’t have much to hide.

Just, I want warmth.

Smiling with that intention, I laughed and faced him. He pointed at me and shouted.

“Seal this!”

Oops.

Is that how it’s going to be?

The people around me started chanting. Gapjae, Eunchun, Byeongil, Chosul. The language is unfamiliar to me.

In other words, there’s a specific language for casting this magic. I’ll just have to learn it from someone who knows later.

As I thought this, the cloth hanging from the ceiling came down and wrapped around me.

Unlike Yasler, they didn’t watch in that way. But this is fine in its own way. If I think of it as a blessing wrap, I can endure it.

And I still haven’t heard the Heavenly Demon’s true thoughts.

Hehe.

The Heavenly Demon tested my abilities.

In other words, it means they need warmth. No questions asked. Instead of sealing or cutting down the second God of War, they’ll keep it for later.

Before the cloth rolls up, I salute the Heavenly Demon, staring at me.

“See you next time, miss.”

I wanted to see his expression, but before I could, the cloth completely covered my face.

But I can see the world through the eyes of the three Law Keepers.

Ah!

The three lowered their heads, so I couldn’t tell what kind of expression the Heavenly Demon was making.

If I had seen his expression, I would’ve had many clues about what he was thinking. What a pity.

But time is on my side. And this seal will definitely be undone from their side.

I’m confident about the waiting part.

Now, let’s see what the Heavenly Demon desires.

Surely, he will show me his desires as he experiments with these three.
