Chapter 65

After that, we spent our time leisurely at the lakeside villa by Lake Luigi, recovering from the fatigue of the intense battle.

It’s not me, but Revis and Primera who are doing so.

I don’t have any physical fatigue or discomfort at all.

And I came to accept that what I thought was a dream was actually reality.

With such a status, I realized that what happened wasn’t a dream.

My attributes have been consolidated into all attributes, and the blessing of the Creator God has disappeared from my gifts.

It seems that the eight-headed serpent was also a Dungeon Master, and by defeating him, I became the Dungeon Master of the abandoned mine that was turning into a dungeon.

I had to think about what to do.

First, it’s not good that the Dungeon Master of that abandoned mine isn’t permanently present...

A dungeon without a manager can become unstable and go out of control, so I need to find someone to delegate the management authority to...

Sigh, it’s troublesome.

Also, the ability of Divine Might to "bestow benefits by emanating divine glory" is different from the blessings and followers of the God of Magic Techniques. It’s a gentle, warm feeling.

In simple terms, it’s like you suddenly feel a bit happier. This is when the target is a person, but if used on nature, it can make trees and crops grow more easily, and with enough divine energy, it can turn a barren wasteland into a lush land.

The effect on nature seems greater, but that’s just how it is.

By the way... thinking about it, I might have challenged the Creator God.

Because I refused to become a benevolent god...

Of course, I have no intention of becoming an evil god.

I proposed to the Creator God to become a neutral god.

A neutral god, neither benevolent nor malevolent.

It was such an interesting proposal that even the Creator God was speechless for a while.

Merinard laughed because the Creator God didn’t move.

If I became a benevolent god, I would probably be used by the Creator God, and if I became an evil god, opposing the Creator God would be no joke.

So, I negotiated to remain neutral and not take sides with either benevolent or malevolent gods.

The Creator God eventually smiled, but emphasized that I wouldn’t intervene in conflicts between benevolent and malevolent gods, and we agreed to monitor the situation and make adjustments if necessary.

But I still wonder if it’s really okay...

Well, there’s no point in worrying too much, and since I’m just a low-level demigod, I’ll focus on accumulating divine energy for now.

The sky is clear, the sun is strong, but the temperature is only slightly warm, and the scene of children playing by the lake is very soothing.

The lakeside of Lake Luigi, a famous summer resort, has a sandy beach, and many nobles and wealthy families visit for their summer retreats.

Therefore, there are many villas owned by nobles and the wealthy in the area around Lake Luigi, which is just a one-hour journey from the city of Sejarka, and there are also many rental villas.

Among these villas, the one where we are staying is particularly large and luxurious.

Naturally, this villa is owned by the Brütsels Margrave Family.

However, it is only used during the summer, so the utilization rate is low.

Since it’s a villa, no one except the caretaker lives there permanently, but it’s a waste to have such a large villa used only in the summer.

I suddenly thought that it would be nice if it could be a tourist destination year-round, and information flowed into my mind.

I was so surprised that I exclaimed, "Whoa!" and the guards immediately surrounded me, creating a tense situation.

After calming down and explaining that I was half-asleep, I thought about why the information had flowed in, but the answer wasn’t difficult.

It was the ability of the Living God called "Wisdom of the Divine Realm."

This ability allows me to search for knowledge, which is a cheat.

I must have unconsciously used this search ability.

I think this ability is very convenient.

Just this ability alone might be a benefit of becoming a god.

So, I’m lying on the sandy beach of Lake Luigi, basking in the sun, and using this search function to its fullest.

However, there’s one thing.

I can tolerate Clara and Pritz being siblings, but Carla and Peron are being so lovey-dovey, real-life couples should explode!

It’s not that I’m envious, but it’s annoying to see them being so affectionate in front of me, the single God of Magic Techniques!

But why are the swimsuits in this world school swimsuits?

Hmm, is it a culture left by the founder Akira?

When I searched why a hero from 500 years ago would know about school swimsuits, the search result said that hero summoning transcends time and space to summon those with the necessary knowledge and abilities.

In other words, when heroes are summoned in this world of Hecate, regardless of the era, people from the Heisei era of Earth are more likely to be summoned.

Indeed, people from the Edo or early Showa eras probably wouldn’t have the knowledge of summoning, so it’s more likely to be people who gained knowledge from light novels and other sources in the Heisei era.

Moreover, the Heisei era was the age of the internet, so not only Japanese but also foreigners have this knowledge, but the probability of Japanese people, who have been exposed to otaku culture, being summoned is overwhelmingly high.
