Chapter 422: A Problem From Above (5)

[I... I went bankrupt.]

'What do you mean, bankrupt?'

[I... I have nothing... It's because I'm broke... that I keep... crying... and stuff. I haven't fallen. It's absolutely nothing like that. Sniff. So please don't do that.]

I didn't know if her reply could be called useful information. However, I couldn't help but admit that I did feel a little happy.

My hypothesis was very slightly right.

The demon performed with contracts and the gods with faith.

When she said she went bankrupt, it didn't mean she had lost all the money she had, but she probably meant that she had lost her divinity.

[You're right.]

'How could you lose all the divinity you've collected so far? I don't understand. Are you extravagant?'

[What? This son of a bitch. Trash bastard! You dare say that to me?!]

'...'

[No. No. I shouldn't have said that... my bad. I'm really sorry... Honorary Cardinal Lee Kiyoung, you know that my most cherished believer is Cardinal Lee Kiyoung, right? I haven't fallen. So you can't do that.]

'...'

What a double-personality psycho.

However, it didn't seem like she was completely out of herself. I was mostly curious about why she had to contact me that way.

I already thought that divinity was necessary to create quests, but I couldn't imagine she wouldn't be able even to do that.

"..."

[...]

In fact, I didn't even have to think.

Wasn't she the one who could easily give me an answer?

"Our Goddess Benignore, do you know what this lowly believer is wondering about?"

[Basic quests have already been set by the system. For example, the system manages the quests you can receive when entering a dungeon or fulfilling class-change quests... It's different in the case of forced quests or quests sent to individuals. We use our divinity directly. Of course, unimaginable divinity is consumed. Gods cannot intervene in human affairs. Originally, that's the principle. Forced quests are against that principle. Of course, the amount of divinity used varies greatly depending on the content and difficulty, but anyway. The same applies to the rewards paid after completion.]

'Good to know.'

[I ran out of all the divinity I had, and I've also run out of the divinities I borrowed. All for... my proud believer... sniff... Lee Kiyoung... Sniff... Honorary Cardinal.]

"So, it seems to me that our Goddess Benignore is saying that it was me that caused her bankruptcy."

[No, of course... it's all my fault. All... A-Anyway, that's why I could only contact you this way. I can't create a forced quest... I could only do this.]

"There isn't only one deity, right? There is also Elune trash... you could have contacted me through other means as well... although it would only last for a while. I wonder how you even lost your divinity."

[I-I can explain! The same goes for the others and all the other gods are bankrupt. It's because I borrowed a lot of divinity here and there... there were so many unavoidable situations... yeah... even externally...things.. got a little bad. I got caught by bad guys...]
