I Am an Evil God

Episode 68-Dragon

After escaping from the area he named the Land of Dawn after the god Astria, Lemp moved towards the other mythical people around him. .

‘Because I’m moving like this, I feel like I’ve become a hero from some legend.’

He traveled to many places and spread his name there, which was nothing short of a myth.

Each region will have a different feeling of accepting Lemfra and the stories passed down by word of mouth, but in the end, the belief that he is the highest god and the creator of this world will be widely known.

And later, if Lempra goes back to the Lempria Empire and informs Lempria of her mythology, she will naturally be able to share information about other regions and create stories related to the name Lempra.

‘Did I say it was the land of dragons?’

According to Assetria, if you head a little further west from the Land of Dawn, there is a mythological system in which a person called the Dragon Lord exists as the main god.

Because there were very rugged mountain ranges in the region of Asetria and the land of dragons, Asetria didn’t know much about the land of dragons, so I was more curious about how a god who started as a human could take on the form of a dragon.

‘Maybe there really are dragons, not humans.’

Lempra remembered the existence of the monster snake that Feint had caught.

He couldn’t rule out the possibility that a monster in the shape of a dragon, like that one, existed.

I crossed the rugged mountain range while making many guesses.

It was a mountain range that was at a level that humans couldn’t overcome with today’s technology, but it was not a task for Lemfra to cross a single mountain range.

‘I can understand why it is called the land of dragons.’

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down at the land, I could see why this place was called the land of dragons.

I couldn’t see the small village and the people who lived there, but the rivers flowing through the land were drawing a dragon-like figure.

Since the gods do not show themselves in front of humans, if humans saw the river flowing on the ground and imagined the gods, and the gods who already knew the concept of a dragon named it dragon, it would be enough to look like this. It seemed possible.

‘How should I eat here?’

I didn’t know how to deal with the dragon because it did weird things.

‘Or should I just leave it alone?’

Dragons are non-gods anyway.

In their mythology, dragons are described as divine beings, but gods in other regions are all in human form, and there was no way people in other regions would accept a god with the appearance of a dragon combined with various animal forms as a god. .

But first, I needed to understand the general atmosphere of Shinhwa, so Lempra went down the mountain and looked at the villages.

‘The level of technology seems to be similar to that of the Land of Dawn.’

It seems to be at the level where iron is just being produced, but one unusual thing is that a stone statue in the shape of a dragon was made in the middle of the village and a waterway was built around it.

In front of the statue, a woman was sitting on her knees with her eyes closed. Villagers greeted the statue once and passed by.

‘Are you an apostle?’

As Lemfra completely hid her body with her divine power and approached her presumed apostle, she felt weak divine power.

It was assumed that she did not possess her divine power, but the divine power bestowed by her divine being.

‘God’s face is invisible.’

A god who does not exist in her own village, of course Lemfra is also not in the capital of the empire and goes out, but it was not easy to see in general.

I looked around the town of Lemp and soon heard the human belief that all dragons live on top of a huge mountain called the Dragon’s Heart.

‘Gods living together in one place…’

Well, the Greek and Roman mythology of the earth is familiar to me since I was a kid, so it’s actually called the Olympus myth.

Lempra moved to the mountain called Dragon Heart without waiting any longer

‘It’s very high.’

The heart of the dragon wasn’t just high.

It was so steep that even climbing it seemed difficult, and it was a barren mountain with not a single blade of grass growing.

‘Was the mountain originally like this? Or did humans’ beliefs make the land this way?’

I don’t know what caused the mountain to look like this, but Lempra slowly climbed towards the top of the mountain.

‘Really, everyone was gathered here.’

It was a steep mountain, but the top was quite wide.

Although they are called dragons, perhaps because the originals were human, they all had human appearances.

There was definitely a divine world in the Lemfra myth, but most of the gods who stayed near the village were just a place where they occasionally visited to talk with other gods. I wasn’t used to seeing the gods playing this and that.

“You have a guest.”

At the sound of a voice that seemed to be pointing at him, Lemfra’s body temporarily stiffened and then loosened.

“You’ve already been caught, why don’t you reveal your identity?”

Looking towards the place where the sound came from, a woman with new hair and golden eyes was looking at Lemfra.

There was a lot of power in her voice.

Of course, it wasn’t comparable to Lemfra, but it was stronger than God in its heyday, and it had a strength that was not much inferior to Catria or Ifritia.

“You’re quick-witted.”

“Because I’m the one who controls a region. After revealing myself, why don’t you come over here and have a cup of tea with me?”

The woman presumed to be the Dragon Lord waved to Lemfra with a very relaxed expression unlike Asetria.

All eyes were on Lemfra.

“Yes, let’s talk over tea together.”

As Lemfra revealed her form and approached the Dragonlord, she took a teacup out of her air and held it out to Lemfra.

“What is the god outside doing here?”

“I have come to announce the name of the creator god Lemfra in your region.”

“Who is Lem Fra? Surely he doesn’t call himself that?”

“That’s right. I’m Lempra.”

“Creator God…”

The Dragon Lord gulped down the tea.

“You’re not embarrassed at all.”

“You’re welcome, I’m embarrassed enough. Can’t you see my pupils are shaking?”

“I’m talking about other people besides you. It’s possible for someone to be flustered and act strangely, but everyone keeps silent and looks at me.”

“I’m a Dragon Lord. No dragon can act without the Dragon Lord’s permission. And it’s a place to talk to an outside god, right? Of course, the representative of the group has to come forward and talk.”

The reason why the Dragon Lord has strong divine power is explained.

If she was revered this far among her dragons, it was natural to predict how high she would be among her humans.

Like Lemfra, she was a being who was revered as an absolute being in a myth.

‘The absolute scale is lower than mine, but the leader’s influence seems to be stronger than mine.’

After a brief glance on the way, it didn’t seem like each dragon had its own domain.

Since the dragon they worship is only the guardian dragon of their village, and they believe that the Dragon Lord is doing everything else, it is understandable that she has gained so much divine power in this small land.

‘I wonder how this myth came about.’

I couldn’t figure out how the myth developed and how the myth was created in which everything was concentrated on one dragon lord.

“Because he’s a creator god… Yes, I needed someone like that.”

The Dragon Lord put down the tea he was drinking and said.

“Is it just your name? Or are you trying to rule us?”

“All I have to do is let humans know my name and existence.”

“There’s no problem with that much. Okay, I’ll tell humans about the existence of the Creator God. I’m the one who protects and guides them anyway, so just because there’s a Creator God out there won’t weaken the divine power I get.”

She looked at Lemfra with a grin.

“Dragons were also created by creator gods, but it would be enough to explain that they are pretending to be with the gods. What do you think?”

“I’d like to decide the details after hearing about your mythology, because I’ll be able to blend in easily if I know your mythology well.”
