People in Terra, governing a bizarre little country

Enshio Dist. paused for a moment and explained:

"This band is extraordinary."

"It's called 'Sunset is Fleeting'."

"Its members are all [gods]."

Luenciodis thought that after he said that, Ernst would either show a shocked expression or simply frown and question the origins of the band.

After all, they all understood who the word "God" referred to when spoken by the Sherag people.

Jeragand, also known as the "Beast".

In a way, this is one of the biggest differences between himself and Ernst, according to Enciodes. Jeragund is fair, but perhaps even fairer to some. And now, he too has connected with the behemoths, and not just one, but an entire band!

It's normal for Ernst to be wary, which means they're back on equal footing.

But Ernst's reaction was clearly unexpected.

If Ensiodis's eyesight was not flawed, he seemed to see a glint of light flash in his younger brother's eyes, and a strange smile visibly appeared on his face!

"Good, good, good!"

"Great beast! It's like a pillow delivered to a sleepy person!"

"Well done, Ensiodis! I thank you on behalf of the great god Yeragand!"

"Huh? Hmm?"

Enshiodis looked completely bewildered.

This script seems a little different from what he imagined?

P.S.: So, how about it? It's the mortal world, isn't it?

PS2: Speaking of which, the US presidential election is over. I checked the results, and it's a shame that none of my book friends were elected. Looks like you won't get your credits and scholarships. No worries, we'll try again in four years! However, Trump's election is actually a good thing. At least he opposes LGBT issues, so maybe the aesthetics of the gaming and film industries will become more normal over the next four years. The current garbage aesthetics of those foreign games and American TV shows are truly disgusting; I have no desire to play them at all! I hope Sweetababy dies soon!

Chapter 784: Change will be the theme of Sherag!

Leitania, Triinttelme, outside the Black Gold Concert Hall.

Alty nudged Aya lightly and asked with some suspicion:

"Aya, is Enshiodis really reliable? Can he really help us find that Yeye something?"

“Yelagand,” Aya reminded her, “we don’t have any other good ideas, do we? Why don’t you ask Frost and Dan?”

Before Alty could speak, Frost and Dan shook their heads.

Seeing this, Alty could only sigh.

Their acquaintance with Enciodes was entirely by chance.

Sunset Fades is a heavy metal band, but due to some stereotypes, this type of music is not very popular in Terra, and they have never really made a name for themselves.

But actually, it doesn't really matter if you don't make a name for yourself.

After all, music is just a hobby for them. Forming a band for life is just a random reason they came together. If they had to find a reason, it would be that Frost, the guitarist in the band, has only been interested in music and food since birth.

These two hobbies don't offer many options: either you form a group to work as gluttons, or you form a band.

Their true identities far exceed the imagination of many Terrans.

The four of them are all genuine behemoths!

However, it is a giant beast born in the ocean.

As is widely known, since scientists from an unidentified prehistoric civilization modified a level-three behemoth in the Deep Blue Tree Laboratory deep in the ocean, no behemoths have been born in the ocean for a very long time.

An ecosystem has a carrying capacity limit. The Deep Blue Tree and the four [Primordial] entities that split off from it have already occupied various ecological niches throughout the ocean. The existence of the Sealings and their modification of the environment have also destroyed the soil in which giant beasts are born. But there are always exceptions.

Tens of thousands of years can give even the smallest probability a chance to come true. Alty, Aya, Frost, and Dan are the giant sea creatures born under this miracle of probability.

Of course, being born is one thing, but being treated is another. Compared to the giant beasts on land, the difference in their treatment is truly appalling.

On land, colossal beasts are veritable gods. Only the Yan Kingdom, thousands of years ago, was able to use the power of [Sui], one of the strongest level-three colossal beasts, to wipe them out. Other countries either let them roam freely or simply register them and then leave them to their own devices. In any case, the lives of colossal beasts are relatively free and comfortable.

In the sea, they are no match for the Deep Blue Tree and its fragmented [Primordial], nor can they assimilate the Sea Heirs; instead, they are influenced by the "Will of the Masses." As powerful beings, the strongest numerical monsters in Terra, and behemoths with their own dignity, how could they tolerate such a situation?

Haisi's aggressive behavior is intolerable! Can't we just run away?

Therefore, Ji Tou Si endured the ultimate insult from the invincible overlord, the Deep Blue Tree, and had no choice but to flee ashore.

No one knows the bitter tears that flowed within!

After arriving on land, they gradually learned about the lives of the giant beasts that lived there.

From that moment on, they dreamed of one day returning to the ocean! To restore the glory of the ocean behemoths is our inescapable duty!

As for how to return to the ocean, they came up with a very reasonable idea!

If you can't beat them, call for backup!

With so many giant beasts on land, why not just seek outside help?

These four behemoths, even younger than Yeragand, were clearly unaware of the dangers of the land, nor of the "rules" of the land-dwelling behemoths.

But in a way, they did one thing right—they formed a band, traveled throughout Terra, and finally found Sherag.

This is both a coincidence and an inevitability.

After all, the only "deity" with a clear record of manifesting itself over the years is Jeragand, the behemoth of Sherag.

The others, whether it was the Yan Kingdom's agent for the Year Beast or Sami's [Father of Ancestral Spirits], remained silent.

The agent of the Year Beast chose to live a life of seclusion in the city, pretending to be an ordinary person and mingling among the common folk, not using or even actively sealing off his powers, to live the life of a commoner.

As for the Sami himself, the Sami people firmly believe in His existence, but He has never actually manifested on such a large scale as Jeragand.

They brought in Sherag, but encountered a very real problem.

Now that we've arrived in Shelag, where are we going to find Jeragand?

At that time, Ernst was not present, and Yeragand was in the process of being promoted. [Chronology] never interfered, but [Sami] glanced at them, but after confirming that they posed no threat, she looked away.

They're too weak; He has no interest in making a move.

At that time, Enciodis was preparing for the International Concert, and Kalan Trade was also preparing to form an orchestra, so Sunset took the initiative to approach them.

Ensiodis is Ernst's brother and a Sherag, so perhaps he can find Jeragand?

Upon learning the identities and intentions of the group, even Ensiodis's brain experienced a brief malfunction.

Looking for the great god Yeragand? Are they all giant beasts? From the ocean?

Four colossal beasts, numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4? When did gods become so commonplace?

Ensiodes's first thought was that these four might have been sent by Ernst to give him some mission.

After all, if we're talking about who in Sherag has the deepest connection with the gods, Ernst is second to none, not even Enya.

Ernst happened to be in Iberia at the time, negotiating with Agor from the sea. Now, four giants claiming to be from the sea had arrived. It was hard not to make Ensiodes suspicious.

But after meeting them in person and talking to the four of them carefully, he dispelled his doubts.

The reason is simple: these four are quite innocent.

They had no suspicion of land dwellers and expressed their emotions genuinely. Enshiodis even thought he could trick them into going to Rembiton to mine.

He quickly dismissed this dangerous idea. If he sent the giant beast to mine and the beast discovered that he was lying, he would only be asking for trouble.

However, if he could cooperate with these four behemoths, it would indeed be able to close the biggest gap between him and Ernst.

Haha, it's just wishful thinking. Maybe it'll scare Ernst.

He never intended to use the power of the giant beasts, and this was one of his principles.

The Jeragund Stone that Ernst had given him was placed on a table, supported by a cushion. He would burn incense every day, but he never used it, nor did he ever ask anything of the stone.

He believed that human will could overcome fate. He also believed that Ernst must know his thoughts; since he, as the "Holy Son," had never expressed dissatisfaction with it, it meant that, to some extent, Ernst must also agree with his approach.

However, Enciodes still managed to reach a deal with these individuals.

“I will help you get in touch with Ernst, who can communicate with the great god Jeragund.”

"But you also have to do me a favor."

He took out a revised version of the hymn from the safe and handed it to the group.

This was personally arranged by Mr. Czerny, a famous musician from Letania.

There's no need to ask when Enciodes managed to get him involved. Don't forget, he was also present when Ernst planned this international concert in Letania. His understanding of Ernst's arrangements, the concert's outline, and Ernst's inner thoughts surpassed even that of the other protagonist of that conversation—the ruthless authority, Helena Mat!

Finding a decent musician in Letania wasn't difficult. With Gertrude's help in making the connection, getting in touch with Czerny was actually quite natural.

Czerny was indeed very stubborn, and he seemed to have a natural aversion to composing for the powerful and wealthy. But Enciodes was the best at understanding the mentality of such people. He only needed to mention Ernst's name and explain the purpose and significance of the piece, and Czerny's attitude would naturally change completely.

He was also a musician, and while he regretted arranging other people's music instead of composing it himself, he also knew that this piece was of great significance to Schielag and Ernst!

For a musician like him, reputation is the most important thing. The song he adapted is called "Hymn", but it does not praise any one person, or even Jeragand, but all the Sherag people who have contributed their share and shone their own light for the development of their homeland!

He was happy to contribute his modest efforts to such a piece of music and such a performance!

As for why Enciodes made this arrangement...

In some ways, Enciodes was the one who understood Ernst best. Ernst was incredibly busy and adept at navigating complex situations, but he was still human and there were always areas where he couldn't be attentive enough, and Enciodes was able to find those oversights.

The question of what Kjerag would perform at the International Concert was something he had considered and thought about much earlier than Ernst. While Ernst was busy with the sea-land cooperation project, he was already making preparations for this.

He also agreed that the Hymn to Jeragund is the song that best represents the music of today's Sherag, but he did not want Sherag to play only one Hymn to Jeragund as is.

He wanted the hymn to convey "change"!

The ancient, time-honored Hymn of Jeragund, sung by the saints of Manjushri, transitions seamlessly into Czerny's newly composed, modern musical version of the Hymn of Jeragund.

Change!

This is the "Sherlock theme" that Enciodes hopes to showcase in this international concert!

From barbarism to civilization, from backwardness to progress, from antiquity to modernity!

Since we have this opportunity to showcase Sherag to the world, how can we let it go to waste?

Sherag deserves more representative and distinctive songs!

The band Sunset Vanished offered their own answer to this.

"He can sing!"

They are indeed a heavy metal band, but that doesn't mean they can't do other musical styles.

They are behemoths, and their long lifespans are enough for them to learn any type of music. Don't think that the gap between the two is too big. Just like the Beast Lord next door, who would have thought that this penguin who is now full of rapping was once the once famous genius musician of Letania, Earl Penderwin?

Time has continued to the present.

Ensiodis led them to the venue, then went inside alone to find Ernst.

They didn't have passes and could only wait outside.

Fortunately, Enciodes never goes back on his word.

The wait was meaningful, for Ernst and Enciodes soon appeared at the exit of the Black Gold Hall.

"Please come in, everyone, as the sun sets and its rays fade."

"We have a lot in common to talk about!"

Chapter 785 Great God Yeragand, we respect you!

Yeragand never imagined that one day he would be standing on a stage singing.

His skin is incredibly thin; he's completely incapable of doing what Gawain does—say what you will and I'll sleep—he simply can't do that. As a behemoth, he might even care whether humans make their faces too big when building statues of themselves in human form!

Other giant beasts wouldn't do that!

As a super-being, He seems far too "human".

But this is also why He is worshipped and loved by the Sherag people, and why they consciously uphold His dignity.

But, I'm sorry, that (shame) is no longer needed here!

Now that she has decided to go on stage, Ya'er is prepared to freeze her expression with her powers to cool it down, rather than blush and become a laughing stock!

Sitting in front of the dressing table backstage, Ya'er took a deep breath, patted her cheeks, and earnestly cheered herself up.

"Speaking of which, where did Enya go?"

Coming to her senses, Ya'er stood up and glanced curiously at the backstage area.
