Becoming a Shadow in the New World

Sid was able to apply his magical knowledge to develop a new spell, but without any modifications from others, it's estimated that only Sid could use it.

To give a very simple example, how do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?

Sid's magical steps consisted of only three steps: open the refrigerator door, put the elephant inside, and close the refrigerator door.

Others need to consider a series of issues such as how to expand the refrigerator space, reinforce the refrigerator, control an elephant thrown into the refrigerator, and lift the refrigerator.

This is the problem. Sid knows that his magical skills are not as good as the Bible God who is hiding in the "normality of life". At least he can't create those thousands of spells, but he can dismantle them all in three minutes. Without someone controlling the spells, it would take at most one minute.

But even excluding this method, he himself didn't know how strong his true magical skills were, so he was eager to fight a powerful mage.

"Isn't that obvious? He is the Son of God, the one who has received the most blessings from our Lord. Such a being must not only be powerful, but also have a character that surpasses that of a saint."

When she spoke of her idol, Irina Shito's eyes were filled with longing, and her voice was full of adoration for the unseen Son of God.

"Yes, yes, so do you know where His Highness the Son of God is? I also want to go and pay my respects to His Highness the Son of God."

While we're at it, let's have a fight. If Roland Augusta wins, he'll say that the Son of God is nothing special. If he loses, he'll become the Shadow and beat him until he loses his memory.

Pretending to be a big fan of the "Child of God" that Irina Fujito spoke of, Sid smiled and eagerly asked the two idiots in front of him.

"Um... well, actually, we haven't found the whereabouts of the Son of God yet..."

When Sid asked her this question, Irina Fujito's longing expression froze, and she turned into an embarrassed look and laughed it off, but soon she spoke with confidence and self-satisfaction.

“But I have a feeling we’ll find the Son of God soon…”

Before she could finish speaking, Irina was pushed away by Xenovia, who then questioned her with a disgruntled expression.

"Hey, Xenovia, why did you push me?"

Ignoring the noisy Irina, Xenovia scratched her head in distress, hesitated, and finally sighed before offering her advice.

"Sid, I advise you not to have too much hope for the existence of the Son of God, because the existence of the Son of God is very likely a hoax spread by some believers."

"Eh eh eh!" X2

Sid and Irina were both stunned. Irina even put her hands on Xenovia's shoulders and started shaking her.

“How could this be fake news? Although it seems that Senior Rudolf was imprisoned for doing something wrong, his faith in the Lord is undeniable. He would never lie about the Lord.”

The shaking caused Xenovia to twitch her lips as she recalled how, when she first received the mission, one of her senior nuns had approached her and told her that it didn't matter if she couldn't find the Son of God.

"Rudolf's faith is indeed undeniable, but it seems that something hit Rudolf's head, causing some memory problems. It is very likely that he misremembered and was hallucinating."

Genovia didn't voice what was on her mind, but instead revealed another truth.

"Even so, what about the church? If it's fake news, why would the church specifically send us here to find the Son of God? The church must have some way to confirm the existence of the Son of God."

Xenovia was also puzzled by this, wondering why the church didn't just say that the Son of God didn't exist.

She was present when the teacher Rudolf was taken back to the church headquarters for trial, so she only had a partial understanding of the matter.

Initially, the church leadership had no intention of interrogating Rudolf, but instead chose to lock him up in jail, seemingly not wanting others to know what Rudolf had done wrong. Therefore, she did not know what Rudolf had done, but she saw Rudolf's mental state when he was brought back.

There were no obvious wounds on his body, but he was mentally confused and would sometimes stare blankly, as if there was something wrong with his brain.

The subsequent trial only took place after Rudolf returned to church headquarters and uttered the words "Son of God" in front of everyone.

According to the information she later obtained, Rudolf stated during the interrogation by the church's higher-ups that he did not remember where he had seen the Son of God, what the Son of God looked like, and only that the Son of God existed on Itogami Island.

No one doubted Rudolf's faith, so even though Rudolf's words were far-fetched, the church leadership still reported this information.

As someone who knew about this matter, she was also assigned the task of finding the Son of God, and she had no objections.

That very night, her senior, Sister Griselda, who was a servant of the angel Gabriel (Q), found her.

Seeing the expression on Griselda's face when she said, "It's okay if we can't find the Son of God, just consider it a vacation," with the certainty that the Son of God didn't exist, she knew that the Son of God most likely didn't exist.

After all, that's Gabriel's "Q," a top nun who can live in Heaven.

Seeing the troubled Xenovia, Sid fell into deep thought.

Rudolf... Why does that name sound so familiar? Oh well, if it can be forgotten, it's probably not an important thing.

Chapter 122 Zeta, About to Cause Big Trouble

Looking back at Irina and Xenovia, who were hugging each other and crying, Sid curled his lip in displeasure.

Seriously, I wasted so much of my time. I was blinded by the idea of ​​a Son of God. God has never appeared in the Bible, so where did this Son of God come from?

"Remember to pack your things and leave my house tomorrow."

Ignoring the two girls' increasingly loud crying, Sid slammed the door shut and clicked his tongue.

As payment for making me look forward to this only to dampen my enthusiasm, you're all to get out of here tomorrow.

Angrily controlling his strength, Sid swung his fist and slammed it against the wall, reaffirming his resolve.

If Xenovia hadn't revealed the information about the Son of God in the first place, Sid wouldn't have been so angry as to kick Xenovia and the others out. After all, taking in one Asia was the same as taking in two more idiots; it wasn't a big deal.

Although having two more people means he can no longer play the Shadow Power Play with Asia, who knows his true identity, it doesn't matter anyway, since Asia's personality and intelligence aren't good enough for much Shadow Power Play anyway.

After learning about the Son of God, he became interested in Xenovia and the others, and he even decided to secretly help them.

Thinking about it carefully, after going through so much trouble to find the legendary Son of God, a Shadow-level powerhouse suddenly appeared, defeated the Son of God with overwhelming power, and then disappeared after leaving behind the words "Son of God, not bad." This is really too much like a Shadow-level powerhouse.

And these two idiots actually said that the Son of God might not exist?

I'm already fired up, and you (a vulgar expression from a Shadow-level user) tell me the Child of God might not exist... Hah, you two idiots, get lost.

Will they end up on the streets after being kicked out?

Who cares about you? It's not like I took your money. Don't blame me for not taking good care of your money.

Filled with resentment, Sid walked into the house while taking off his clothes.

Sid suddenly stopped, re-buttoned the half-undone button, glanced around, and finally fixed his gaze on the area under the bed.

Sorry, I didn't notice you.

Peeking halfway out from the darkness, it was a beautiful orc with cat ears, smooth short golden hair, and a cold expression.

"We still couldn't hide it from our lord."

At this moment, the cat-like beastman was feeling discouraged that Sid had discovered him so easily.

"Actually, this is already quite a good stealth technique. At least I have to be inside the house to find you (although it's also because I didn't sense you at all). I feel like you've improved again, Zeta."

The orc in front of him, dressed in a black bodysuit and with beautiful icy purple eyes, was named Zeta, one of his childhood friends and a member of the Seven Shadows.

“By the way, Zeta, why don’t you come out from under the bed first? The floor is cold.”

Seeing Zeta hiding under the bed while talking to him, Sid couldn't help but speak up, afraid that if he didn't, Zeta would stay under the bed forever.

"Yes, Lord."

Upon receiving Sid's order, Zeta crawled out from under the bed in the blink of an eye, lay down on Sid's bed, and swished her golden cat tail behind her.

I asked you to come out, not to crawl onto my bed.

Sid wanted to say that, but after thinking about it, he gave up. Anyway, it wasn't a big deal.

He pulled up a stool, sat down next to Zeta, and looked at Zeta, who was tilting her head to the side.

"So, Zeta, is there something you need from me?"

Upon hearing Sid's question, Zeta's relaxed and carefree expression froze, replaced by unease.

“My lord, I have done something very wrong and have failed your teachings. I have come to you to accept my punishment.”

Upon hearing this, Sid raised an eyebrow.

"Has anyone noticed?"

Sid felt he understood why Zeta had come to him; clearly, Zeta had gotten into trouble and had come to him for help to sort things out.

Well... considering his friendship with Zeta, he helped her with this favor, even if Zeta wanted to borrow money, he agreed.

Although the lack of new sources of funds has led to a deficit in the slush fund, there is still some savings left. It shouldn't be a problem to come up with 1,000... 10,000... 100,000 Zenis.

Of course, he wouldn't want to touch his secret stash unless absolutely necessary. He'd first ask if anyone had discovered it, and if no one had, he'd try to cover it up.

"No."

After a moment of confusion, Zeta shook his head.

"Then it'll be fine."

What? So you're seeking his psychological counseling because you can't live with your own conscience? That's his specialty.

“My lord, I made a mistake because of my own selfish desires, letting the Diablo Order escape and even providing them with assistance. This may have threatened the lives of countless people. My lord, are you really not worried about this?”

Seeing Sid's nonchalant expression, Zeta grew anxious.

Let me translate: Zeta, you accidentally leaked some important information or something to the enemies of the Mitsukoshi Trading Company. The loss of this thing will cause significant losses to the Mitsukoshi Trading Company, or even its bankruptcy. So Zeta, you are worried about being punished, so you came to me, hoping that I can plead for Gamma.

Having roughly understood Zeta's meaning, Sid revealed a kind smile.

Sorry, I really can't help you with this. I still owe Gamma money. Zeta, you should just accept your punishment. Given your relationship with Gamma, the worst outcome is that you get fired, which isn't a big deal.

"I am no longer the shadow of the Shadow Garden, and there is no connection between you and me anymore (good luck, I can't help you with this).

Of course, I still value the bond between us. If you need help, just let me know (although I can't help you with this specific situation, there's nothing I can do; if you can't find a place to stay after being fired, come find me).
