I widened my eyes at the feast of System Messages illuminating before me.

 

【5,000 gold has been supplied to the offering box of ‘The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’.】

 

【’The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’ recovers part of its power through the devotion of faithful followers.】

 

【’The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’ bestows a blessing upon the Holy Maiden who devoted herself for its sake. User’s divine power increases.】

 

【Current divine power held: 30.111%】

 

【10,000 people have newly learned of the existence of ‘The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’.】

 

【The power of ‘The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’ increases slightly.】

 

【User’s divine power increases by 0.005%.】

 

【Current divine power held: 30.116%】

 

Thanks to working hard in the Southern Region following the Western Region, many people have come to know about it.

 

The System Messages didn’t end there.

 

【User’s divine power has reached 30%. User-exclusive skill ‘Communication’ opens.】

 

【Skill ‘Communication’ has opened. Holy Maiden exclusive linked skill ‘Sacred Item Creation’ opens.】

 

This is the skill message I’ve been waiting for… but there’s something I haven’t seen before?

 

“Linked skill?”

 

Does this mean it can only be used together with the Communication skill?

 

【Skill ‘Communication’】

 

1. This is an upgraded version of ‘Revelation’, a Holy Maiden exclusive skill. Only the user can use this.

 

2. Communication with the Three Main Gods is possible. However, due to insufficient divine power, only indirect communication is currently possible.

 

(Communication with the other two gods excluding ‘The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’ consumes divine power. Caution is required.)

 

“…What?”

 

Really? Is communication with gods really possible?

 

Originally, Holy Maidens and Holy Sages normally hear the voice of the god they serve through revelations…

 

But I can communicate with all Three Main Gods.

 

【’The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’ cheerfully greets the user.】

 

Just as I was wondering if this was really possible.

 

A message in a different color from usual suddenly appeared before my eyes.

 

What was written in the white-background System Message window was… my goodness.

 

“Are you really the Sun God?”

 

【’The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’ answers that it is indeed so!】

 

【It complains to the user that it was truly frustrating not being able to have direct conversations until now.】

 

It’s real.

 

This isn’t an automated response, but a real answer to my question.

 

Oh my, this is actually possible.

 

【’The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’ sincerely says thank you for helping and apologizes. It conveys that it really wanted to say these words all this time.】

 

Even though it’s just text, I can strangely feel the Sun God’s heartfelt emotions.

 

I don’t know what his face looks like at all, yet I could clearly picture his apologetic and ashamed expression.

 

Why is that?

 

Is it because I’m a Holy Maiden who received his power? Because I made a contract with him?

 

I don’t know the reason, but affection washed over me.

 

I quietly grasped the message window he sent.

 

“Is that all you have to say?”

 

And I vented my anger.

 

“You forced a soul that was supposed to go peacefully to heaven into a second life! And you think just saying thank you and sorry with words is enough!”

 

You’re sincerely sorry? That’s only natural!

 

“Don’t just talk, you should give proper compensation, compensation!”

 

I shook the message window frantically.

 

Take this, the sorrow of someone who had to live busily under life-threatening situations for about four months!

 

【’The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’ says it’s dizzy and pleads to please, please stop shaking.】

 

“Oh really? You’re dizzy? You get dizzy from just this? Then how hard must it have been for me!”

 

【’The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’ shouts that it was wrong.】

 

【It urgently suggests checking the contents of the linked skill first!】

 

It seems like it’s trying to avoid the topic somehow, which I don’t like…

 

It’s not too late to get angry after checking the skill.

 

I threw the message window I was gripping and shaking behind me.

 

It seemed like a tearful message appeared, but I ignored it and checked the contents of the linked skill.

 

【Skill ‘Sacred Item Creation’】

 

1. You can create sacred items containing the Holy Maiden’s blessing.

 

2. Receive guidance on materials needed for sacred item creation from gods through the skill ‘Communication’.

 

(Note: The stronger your divine power becomes, the stronger sacred items you can create.)

 

“So this is why it’s linked with Communication.”

 

Fortunately, it seems like the creation is done automatically through the skill once I have the materials.

 

If they had told me to craft everything myself with hammer and tongs, I would have gone looking for the Sun God with a hammer.

 

【’The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’ shouts to just say the word if there’s any sacred item you want.】

 

【It confidently says it will tell you all the materials for any sacred item.】

 

“Ah, then who procures the materials?”

 

【’The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’ falls silent.】

 

I thought so.

 

I still don’t understand the Communication skill well, but Sacred Item Creation will definitely be helpful.

 

I’m actually starting to feel the need for weapons to protect myself.

 

The Grand Temple only has swords and spears, so it would be great if I could craft and use something to my liking…

 

The problem is material procurement. What if it’s hard to secure or very expensive?

 

“You need sacred stones to create sacred items, right?”

 

【’The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’ says you’ll need quite a lot.】

 

Then I’ll think about the rest later, and first I need to get the Land of Rubar from Count Kiris.

 

Since I’ve pretty much finished what I needed to do in the Southern Region, I should head back to the Western Region soon.

 

“I’ve done so many things coming here.”

 

Distributing potions, figuring out ‘Evil’s’ movements, meeting Idella, even collaborating with the Temple of the Annihilation God.

 

It was really a busy trip with no time to rest day by day…

 

【’The Traveler Who Guides Souls’ looks at the user with interest.】

 

…and now the Annihilation God makes an appearance too?

 

I stared blankly at the black message window, the complete opposite of the Sun God’s.

 

【’The Traveler Who Guides Souls’ greets the user cheerfully with greedy eyes.】

 

Is that really a cheerful greeting? Why are the eyes full of greed?

 

【’The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’ points accusingly, asking where does it get off looking at its Holy Maiden like that.】

 

【It shouts loudly not to keep sending messages because it drains their child’s divine power.】

 

Ah, right. It said my divine power gets consumed when communicating with the other two gods besides the Sun God.

 

Can’t I block this somehow?

 

【Since this place is currently the grand temple of ‘The Traveler Who Guides Souls’, divine power is not consumed for communication with that god.】

 

【The same applies when there are sacred objects of that god and a Holy Maiden or Holy Sage.】

 

Then a System Message appeared as if to resolve my question.

 

Well, that’s fortunate then.

 

【’The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’…】

 

【’The Traveler Who Guides Souls’ pushes aside ‘The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’ and stares intently at the user.】

 

【It asks if you like this world.】

 

I was looking at the two bickering gods with tired eyes, disgusted by the sight, when I flinched at the sudden question.

 

Come to think of it, there was something I wanted to ask the Annihilation God.

 

“Were you the one who brought my dead soul to this world?”

 

【’The Traveler Who Guides Souls’ smiles mysteriously.】

 

Even though the Ousted Sun God should have appeared again, shouting loudly, he said nothing.

 

As if both gods were focusing intently on this question.

 

Soon, an answer I didn’t want came back.

 

【’The Traveler Who Guides Souls’ advises that if you want to obtain an answer, you must fill your divine power to 40%.】

 

【They refuse, saying your current body is too weak to handle the revelation of heavenly secrets.】

 

“So that’s why it had to be specifically 40 percent…”

 

I thought it was just a mechanism to make me raise my divine power somehow.

 

I wondered if they were exploiting the Korean trait of being unable to resist curiosity.

 

To think it was actually because my body was too weak.

 

“Just how incredible is this content supposed to be?”

 

【’The Traveler Who Guides Souls’ laughs, saying it will probably be quite shocking. They advise you to prepare yourself mentally in advance.】

 

Even though I already know the entire contents of 【Sacred Idella】, they’re saying it’ll be shocking?

 

What? What the hell did these gods do?
