On Hiatus: God's Personal Reasons-Chapter 286: #Daily Life

“F-Friend! You don’t have to get so angry! What’s wrong with Yu Oh-Shin?! I chose that name after much contemplation! Or maybe you’d prefer Yu Chil-Shin? Lucky seven, how great is that!”

“Shut up!” Ant Emperor roared, and his Carnage Flames of God rained down on me.

“Aaargh!”

Meanwhile, back on Earth...

“Oh-Shin? Now that’s too far, Il-Shin.” Sa-Shin chuckled as he watched what happened in Antrinia.

How does this guy not have any naming sense?

“I know I was the best among us four.” He nodded to himself.

Their main body was a moron, Yi-Shin was a battle-crazed brute, and Sam-Shin was a glutton who could only say “Destroy.”

Ding!

The elevator he was in stopped at the building’s top floor. It housed the highest VIP wards of Buhwal University Hospital—a specialist hospital for the Awakeners—mostly occupied by Hunters. Renowned Hunters of at least B-rank, dispatched by the Hunter Association, solemnly stood guard along the corridor.

“How long until the shifts change?”

“Another thirty minutes or so.”

“Even if it’s mandatory, this is kind of dull. I’d much rather be out in the field.”

“Honestly? I’d rather be a bodyguard rather than risk my life out there.”

“But, is the news of dungeons and gates all across the world vanishing really true?”

Sa-Shin walked past the group of guards, yet no one stopped him. They seemed to be completely unaware of his existence. It was as if he’d become invisible. Sa-Shin placed his hand on the special war’s door lock, which required an access card to open.

Sss—

Like water flowing through sand, he passed through the door. Inside, he found a comatosed, white-haired woman on a huge bed like a sleeping beauty, surrounded by enchanting flowers and plants.

The woman, who seemed to be in her twenties, was a legendary Hunter of South Korea, just like S-rank Choi Kang-San.

Sa-Shin whispered in her ear, “Miracle, I'm here to keep my promise.”

A week had passed since.

Ruuumble! Baaam!

Thunderous explosions rumbled across the skies of Antrinia. Fragments of destroyed planets were flying around in the universe. The peace of the universe was being threatened.

Feeling the hideous slash wound on his chest, War God made a remark.

-Impressive. I never imagined an alter ego would be able to fight me for so long.

Yu Il-Shin tore off his half-broken demon wings, saying, “Hmph! You’re quite impressive yourself, Old Man!”

-Kekeke! Kehahaha!

“Pfft! Bahahaha!”

The battered War God and Yi-Shin ferociously growled at each other, baring their white teeth.

-Enough playing around!

His eyes gleamed menacingly as he raised his greatsword.

-Descend, Army of Carnage and Madness. Slaughter my enemy!

Woooong!

Crimson energy burst from his sword, spreading in all directions like a tidal wave.

Riiiip!

Like a gate opening, countless of his apostles and followers emerged from the crack.

“Great war, War God!”

“I have arrived at your order!”

“Krrr!”

“Kyaooooo!”

His followers consisted of humans, celestials, demons, and beings from countless other races, each possessing unusual divine power, amounting to the millions.

War God grinned with satisfaction. This was the army that he’d amassed over the eons with one goal in mind: defeating God of Destroyer. Originally, War God had intended for Ant Emperor to be a part of it as well, but unfortunately, he’d chosen to join Yu Il-Shin. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Well, it didn’t matter anymore. These forces would be more than enough to defeat that alter ego. Amid the forces he’d summoned were the Oompa Tribe, who’d recently become his followers.

“Oompa oompa❤~!”

“Oompaa~!”

Perhaps because their physiques were inherently unfit for battle, they enthusiastically waved their short limbs, cheering for War God. However, he ignored that adorable sight.

Yi-Shin found War God’s army amusing. “Interesting! Why don’t I summon my army as well?!”

Dark, sewage-water-like energy spread from Yi-Shin in all directions, and the surrounding space tore open as well.

Riiip!

“I summon you! Come forth, my army!”

First, a woman appeared. She possessed the beauty of an angel, but bore a demon’s mark: two black horns. She knelt at Yi-Shin’s feet.

“Demon King Elijah has arrived to return the favor, almighty Demon God.”

Soon after, a handsome, arrogant-looking man descended, holding a baby in his arms. His aura rivaled that of a High-tier god.

“Keke. I, Grand Duke of Hell, Kaniji, will aid the Demon God as per our oath!”

Then, high-ranking demons descended, followed by millions from the demon army.

“Commanders of the Hundred Legions under the Four Heavenly Kings have come in response to the Demon God’s call!”

“Dedicate your lives to the great Demon God!”

They were either saved by Yi-Shin while he climbed the Tower of Gods, or were connected to him by blood. Even when facing War God’s army, their morale didn’t falter.

War God was momentarily taken aback.

Thud thud!

His aged heart pounded fiercely like a youth’s. How long had it been since he had faced such powerful armies in battle?

-Kehahaha! Interesting! Great! This is what a real battle should be! Come on, Greenie!

“Come, Old Man!”

-All troops, charge!

“Kill the scums!”

Both their armies roared fiercely as they engaged in a ruthless battle in the universe.

***

Please don’t overdo it.

I sighed and shook my head as I watched Yi-Shin’s battle. The people of Antrinia were shocked at first, but they seemed to have gotten used to the battle and didn’t pay much attention to them. In fact, even I was nonchalant.

“Everyone! Do you believe in God Yu Il-Shin?!” the beautiful empress of the Iron-Blood Gayami Nation and Antrinia screamed at the top of her lungs, unbefitting of her petite physique.

“We believe! We believe!”

“Waaaah! I love you, God Yu Il-Shin! Puck puck!”

“Milky-skin God Yu Il-Shin! Please grant us mercy and grace!”

A horde of red ants—hundreds of millions strong—swarmed beneath the tower where I stood.

At the same time, a blinding light poured down like the sun.

“Oh! Such holy light!”

“Even the Sun God worships God Yu Il-Shin! That’s our great and merciful god, God Yu Il-Shin!”

I sighed again, and said to the sun that shone on me. “Thanks for the unnecessary effect...”

The phoenix bowed in gratitude. It was the malevolent god I’d fought in my previous life, also known as Fire Shining in the Highest Skies. After defeating it, I made it my follower. Still, I didn’t know if it was because of the lingering causality or fear toward my divine power, but it was now eagerly serving me.

Anyway, let’s hurry up and go home.

I pointed my index finger toward the sky and gave it a tap. The dozens of bags I’d suspended in the air using telekinesis opened, and snow-white sugar snowed onto the ground.

Shaaaa!

“Waaah! God Yu Il-Shin is bestowing a shower of grace on us!”

“Aaah! I-it’s so sweet! It tastes like heaven!”

“Waaah! My arm that I had lost in battle had grown back! God Yu Il-Shin, thank you!”

“Praise god’s miracle! God Yu Il-Shin, puck puck!”

Cheers from the citizens who had eaten the sugar echoed in the air, and memories of fanatics from my past life flooded my mind. The cult leader—no, Anty, rushed to me with a flushed face and eyes glowing red.

“As expected of my Lord Yu Il-Shin! You’re amazing! At this rate, everyone on the continent will become your followers in no time!”

I recalled someone saying that Antrinia’s population was roughly tens of trillions before. Having that number of insects cheering and worshipping me... Wow, I couldn’t even imagine that. Nevertheless, it was better to obtain their Faith in case I had to fight Despair. In fact, that was the objective all along.

“Crushing Forefinger of God.”

I tapped my finger lightly in the air. The space tore open, revealing a gate back to Earth.

“...Alright. I need to do something, so I’m going back to Earth. I’ll leave everything in your care, Anty.”

“Yes, please leave it to me! I will turn all of them into your loyal followers!” she shouted, her eyes fanatically gleaming red.

Actually, I’d wanted to see both Ant Emperor and Il-Ho before I left, but they seemed to have been inspired by the battle between War God and Yi-Shin. Hence, they went to train in other worlds. Well, even most High-tier gods would be no match for the two of them.

Swoosh!

I crossed the gate and returned to my cozy little room.

“Tsk tsk. These alter egos don’t even come home.” I shook my head.

Yi-Shin was still in a fierce battle with War God, while Sam-Shin was playing with my niece. Meanwhile, Sa-Shin had left to meet someone on Earth, and hadn’t returned in a week.

“Skill Sharing, Ever-Changing, Grow.”

Sss!

I activated the skill, reverting from ant-sized back to human.

“I probably should get ready to head out.”

After a quick shower, I picked up the socks lying around in the corner of my room and sniffed them.

Alright, still good enough for another day.

I wore the socks after donning the green tracksuit I’d left on the dining table. Then, I slung a backpack over my shoulders, dragged my feet in my slippers, and went to my regular café down the street.

“An Americano, please.”

After ordering the cheapest drink on the menu and getting my loyalty card stamped, I took my usual spot at the corner table.

“This feels different somehow.”

This was probably the place where it all began. It was where I’d first come across God-Maker in my previous life. Back then, I was struggling with a worthless new manuscript. However, things were different now. I was no longer a struggling writer, but God Yu Il-Shin, who’d transcended to the highest level of godhood!

I confidently took out my laptop from my backpack, triumphantly placing my fingers on the keyboard.

“The world shall witness the birth of a classic masterpiece!”

My fingers danced along the keyboard for who knew how long, but eventually I fell asleep on my laptop.

I could feel slender fingers tapping on my head. “Mm... Who is it?”

Wiping the drool from the corner of my mouth, I looked up to see an adorable girl with large sunglasses sitting across from me. Wait, no, she was older than me.

She lowered her sunglasses, glowering at me. “How could you fall asleep after calling me here? Also, how did you get my contact information?”

I smiled brightly at her. “Hey, Mi-Na noona.”
