?Hearing that, Lathel frowned: “What do you mean…”
“Do you still remember Claire?”
Lathel nodded.
Lusha continued: “She did not choose to serve the Royal Family or the Lumiere Church, but she chose… to worship you as a God.”
“What?!” Lathel was startled and said: “Why did she do that? Could it be… you…”
“Hehehehe… that’s right.” Lusha laughed and said: “What’s wrong? Don’t you feel excited?”
Lathel shook his head: “No, I just feel troubled. I will advise her to stop; I don’t need her to worship me.”
“Hahahaha… It’s already too late; she’s already established a place to worship you, the Church of Lathel; that doesn’t sound bad.”
Lathel frowned: “Are you kidding me?”
“Heh?! Are you angry?” Lusha immediately sat opposite Lathel, tilted her head, and looked at him puzzledly.
“You must know that to be worshipped by others is the dream of countless people.”
Lathel shook his head: “I don’t like it; I just want a normal life. If she has established a place to worship me, then I just need to repurpose the place.”
“You… are so strange.” Lusha smiled: “It’s up to you… However, no matter what you do, I guarantee that Claire will not give up on that idea.”
“She has completely abandoned the idea of serving the church and the royal family, so you can understand how determined she is.”
Lathel frowned as he looked towards Lusha with doubt. Lusha tilted her head and smiled: “Heh?! Don’t give me that look; it scares me.”
“Lusha… What do you want?”
“Hm?! Why do you say that?”
“What was your purpose in giving that idea to Claire? No normal person would think of that; there is only one reason… you want to harm me.”
“Ah! You are cruel.” Lusha pretended to faint, she held her head and lay on the floor of the carriage compartment: “I only want the best for you, but you say that I am cruel.”
“Ahhh… You make me feel so heartbroken, huhuhu…”
Lathel frowned, silently asking Cauldron in his heart: “Oy! Is it really as you say?”
“That’s right.” Cauldron sighed and said: “If there is no one left to worship you, you will slowly disappear; to be more precise… you will be like a sponge.”
“Pock! Disappear immediately.”
Lathel: “…”
“Besides…” Cauldron continued: “If in the sect that worships you, there are people who have opposing thoughts or are disbelievers, you will also be affected.”
“In general, if you do not have the ability to manage and force all your followers to worship you, then you are dancing on the edge of a knife.”
Lathel took a deep breath and glanced at Lusha with caution. Worshipping him as a god sounds great, but it seems like a giant trap.
Like the witch and Snow White. The apple is very beautiful and very delicious… but it is poisonous.
“Lusha, I remember that since I came here, I haven’t caused you any trouble, right?”
Lusha looked at him confused: “Why do you ask ?”
“When Alec was messing with you, I was also the one who helped you get out of trouble, right?”
“Uhm! That’s right.”
“My secret is constantly brought to light by you, and I have never scolded you, right?”
“This… is also true.”
“So… why do you want to harm me?”
“Ah! Do you think I am that cruel?” Lusha pretended to be in pain; she bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at Lathel: “Lathel… I don’t mean to harm you.”
“I did this because I believe that… you can definitely create a miracle.”
“In the second round, you were just an ordinary person that no one paid attention to. But when everyone was in danger, you created a miracle.”
“The fire drake, even the academy staff couldn’t defeat it, but you defeated it.”
“You even defeated it when it reached level 60.”
“But… That monster was killed by Lilith, it has nothing to do with me.” Lathel frowned and explained.
“What difference does that make?” Lusha smiled and said: “You also held it back and defeated it once. For a normal level 20 magician like you, that seems unusual.”
“But you still did it; you created a miracle.”
“The second time you repelled the Darkness King and the Demon Lord in the third round, Lathel, do you think a normal magician can do that?”
“A normal magician only needs to be able to do one of the two things you just did, and it will be the greatest feat they tell everyone about for the rest of their lives.”
“I don’t understand… you can do such great things, why are you still humble? Why do you think that you yourself cannot create miracles again.”
Lathel sighed and said: “Have you said enough?”
Lusha pouted, her face showing discomfort: “In general… I believe you can do it.”
“Lathel… since the war between the gods and Lord Abyss, no one has ever been able to become a god.”
“I believe you can become a God, the only God of this dark age.”
Lathel didn’t answer but just stared at Lusha. Lusha pouted, not knowing what to say next because Lathel’s eyes showed fatigue and helplessness.
“Scat!”
“Heh?!” Hearing Lathel’s words, Lusha asked in confusion: “Lathel… you…”
“I don’t want to see you anymore.” Lathel said tiredly.
“You… don’t be like that. I will help you, Lathel… I have a lot of information; I can let you become a god easily.”
“As long as you want, I will…”
“Enough!” Lathel held her forehead and said tiredly: “I feel very tired. Go away. I don’t want to see you again.”
“You…” Lusha was about to say something, but she remained silent because Lathel’s eyes were filled with hatred and anger.
Finally, Lusha bowed her head and went out. When she reached the door of the carriage, she turned around and said: “Lathel… if you need my help, I will definitely help you.”
After speaking, she immediately left.
“You don’t have to be so angry.” Cauldron suddenly spoke up.
“Ah! What do you mean… I have to follow her arrangements and try to become a god.” Lathel laughed contemptuously.
“Why do I have to do what she wants? Don’t I have opinions? Tell me… what should I do while people continuously decide important matters related to my life?
“You…” Cauldron sighed: “Lathel.. I think you are very strange. You are really strong, and you are also very smart.”
“Just the fact that you arranged a series of plans to put Alec on the path to death is enough to make me feel that you are not a normal person.”
“You are a special person. However, it seems like you don’t want to be special. Only when pushed into a corner will you create a miracle.”
“Lathel… I feel that what Lusha did was not wrong. After all, Claire already worships you, and even if you get angry now, you can’t change that.”
“But…” Lathel frowned and asked: “Can anyone do that? What I mean is… worshipping someone.”
“Of course not.” Cauldron explained: “It must be someone who believes in you deeply, is absolutely loyal to you, and is willing to die for you to be able to worship you.”
“When Claire worships you, her entire soul, body, thoughts, and heart turn to you.”
“To be more precise, she is your first follower. If you tell her to commit suicide, she will do it immediately without hesitation.”
“Claire is your first and last believer. If you protect her, she will help you develop your own church.”
Hearing that, Lathel sighed: “But… I don’t need everyone to worship me; that’s too risky. What if Claire gets killed?”
“Then you will die, completely disappearing from this world.”
Lathel: “…”
“However…” Cauldron continued: “I, like Lusha, completely believe in you; you can definitely create miracles.”
“In this world, since the war between the gods and Lord Abyss, no one has become a god.”
“I believe… You can do it. You can become a god.”
Lathel sighed. He leaned back, lying on the mattress, not knowing what to do next.
Cauldron was also silent. After a while, he said: “Lathel… I know you’re dissatisfied, but they only did this to stimulate your potential.”
“Just like when you felt you couldn’t tame the Anaconda Flame, you did. You even helped it evolve to a higher level.”
“When you faced the Fire Drake, I also thought you would definitely fail. However, you won.”
“When you faced the Darkness King and Alec, who were supported by the Demon Lord, I also thought you would fail.”
“However, you seem to have received some help, becoming strong and defeating both of those terrible existences.”
“Lathel… I know you won’t believe me when I say this, but I have a feeling that… you will become a god. The only God of the New Age.”
“The only God of the Age of Godlessness.”
Lathel did not answer; he just lay still. Cauldron also didn’t know what he was thinking and didn’t bother him.
It seems that Cauldron was witnessing a decision that will change the world and this era.
…
Elsewhere, Lilith brought Alec and Rolen to a place far away from the Karol Empire, in a place located in the Goblin Forest.
Lilith threw Alec on the ground, but gently helped Rolen land steadily.
Alec lay on the ground, feeling extremely painful, but alsohappy.
He looked at Lilith with gratitude and said: “Teacher Lilith, thank you… Really thank you.”
“While everyone left me, only you still cared about me, saving me when I was desperate.”
“I thought you were partial to Lathel, but I was wrong. Sorry, Master Lilith, from now on I will definitely trust you completely and never doubt you again.”
Alec said as he crawled towards Lilith.
“Don’t come near me.” Lilith covered her mouth and nose, hastily pulling Rolen back away from Alec: “I didn’t expect you to be that kind of person.”
“Alec, you slept with a man, you even… did that disgusting thing, exposing yourself to this disgusting disease. Are you happy?”
“No! No, Master Lilith, please trust me…” Alec quickly explained: “I’m not that kind of person. I was tricked by her… No, I was tricked by that bastard Sakuth.”
“I… that’s right… That bastard Lathel… He caused this. Master Lilith, help me; kill him… Get me the medicine to cure this disease from him.”
“Please… Master Lilith…”
