The names of the twelve apostles are as follows: Simon, called Petros, along with his sister Iako and Zebedee’s daughter Jaime, along with her sister Johanna, tax collector Mata, and Maria, and from Magdala, Zolga and Mudora, Kelbec and Keldo, and the traitor Iscariot Judah, who sold Luke.
– Nooo…. No, my army……! My army……! Noooooo!
A crying Atzoatl.
Is it really worth it?
Compared to other ‘Chaos’ evil gods, he may have become a part of ‘Chaos’ relatively recently, but he’s been a deity for what feels like an astronomical amount of time.
His army that took so long to build was swept away in an instant.
Even a human who lost all their wealth in gambling wouldn’t feel this level of loss.
– Deus! You scoundrel!
But what are you going to do about it?
What can you do, Atzoatl?
Tied to Zolga, no less.
I slowly approached the non-resisting Atzoatl.
– Wh-what do you plan to do? Stay away!
And with my magic-wrapped hand, I pierced Zolga’s chest.
– You, you can’t be…!
My hand inside Zolga’s chest.
I grabbed her heart from within.
The subjugation contract of a deity.
It’s the contract used when evil gods establish a vessel.
The essence of ‘Chaos’ engraved in the vessel’s heart.
Only by burning away that essence can Zolga be freed.
Generally, when a vessel is manipulated by an evil god, it rebels to the point of death, making it nearly impossible.
But in this frozen time, I could reach Zolga’s heart, which wasn’t resisting.
And I used my hand to ignite the magic and burn the essence of ‘Chaos.’
– Kraaak! Nooo!
To free Zolga.
The clan that protects Celes’ tomb is incredibly unfortunate.
Originally, they were a high noble family of the Celestia Empire.
They were loyal subjects serving the Celestian royal family for a long time, but after Celestia fell, they fell under a curse lasting thousands of years.
Their mission is to preserve the royal family’s legacy while waiting for the descendants of the Celestian royal family who will arrive someday.
Originally, the royal family’s descendants were supposed to come soon.
And they were to function as the closest supporters in reviving the Celestia Empire.
But…
Due to some incident, the entrance to Celes became a desolate wasteland, and the royal descendants could not find Celes.
Thus, for a long time, the clan protecting the tomb within Celes has been trapped, unable to leave and endlessly waiting for the royal descendants.
Holding onto the hope that they will come someday.
The area was created for the users of [Deus Ex Machina] to discover and farm, but due to its tragic backstory, many users felt a sense of melancholy.
Despite having that extraordinary technology, a clan that’s been stuck here for thousands of years, unable to see the sky and dwelling underground.
But as the main characters pass the three trials of Celes, the clan protecting the tomb of Celes is liberated.
And the character beloved by many users was Zolga.
Her tragic circumstances and feelings for her clan have touched many users’ hearts.
I felt the same.
The clan protecting the tomb of Celes are also the only surviving members of Celestia.
Due to the curse, they couldn’t properly utilize the legacy of Celestia, but paradoxically, they can handle the legacy better than anyone.
After all, they are the only ones who have truly used Celestia’s technology.
So I came with the intention to conquer Celestia’s legacy through these trials and not just obtain it, but to bring the entire clan that can operate those legacies with me.
If I can make them all on my side.
Then managing the technology of Celestia will be much more convenient.
The best way to achieve this is to become the heir and liberate the clan from their thousands of years of curses.
However, I thought it might be difficult to make the whole clan submit to me just because I liberated them.
But if I save Zolga from Atzoatl.
If I purify her from the forces of ‘Chaos’.
Then who knows.
– Kraaak!
The overwhelming miracle instigated by the heir against Atzoatl.
I watched everything through the view manipulated by the demon.
Countless angels descending from the sky to serve.
It truly was like a divine being descending upon the ground.
A sight that wasn’t unworthy of being called the messiah who would drive away the darkness of this world and bring salvation.
That the heir is the messiah.
What our clan has endured for thousands of years was all for this individual.
It was not in vain.
He will save this world.
Though I, who sold my soul to the demon, can’t be saved.
But our clan will be able to receive salvation through him.
So even if I die now, I have no regrets.
– Deus! You scoundrel!
A demon writhing within me.
But the demon’s army has already vanished.
A demon that’s left with nothing.
– Wh-what are you planning to do? Stay away!
The heir slowly approached me.
– You… you can’t be…!
The heir’s hand pierced my chest.
I see.
This is the price of having sold my soul to the demon.
I…… won’t be saved.
– Kraaak! Nooo!
I won’t witness the grand salvation that the heir will unfold.
I’ll be forgotten like this.
Just like this… just like this….
– Kraaak!
The demon’s scream.
And the flames of the heir burning within me.
I could feel my heart being purified by the heir’s flames.
Even so, when I die, I can completely die.
Without being sullied by the demon.
It’ll surely be hot, but I felt no pain at all.
Rather, it felt like a cozy return to my mother’s embrace.
Now I can be at ease in the position of the Celes clan leader…….
Hmm?
“Zolga, chief of Celes. Are you regaining your senses?”
“Ah, Heir?”
What’s happening?
I’m not dead?
Why is the heir here?
In an instant, I thought I had died and come to the afterlife, but the scenery before me is within Celes.
And above all, I could clearly feel my body’s sensations.
“Heir!”
I rushed toward the heir.
The heir saved me.
Saved me from the filthy demon’s clutches!
Now, I am free from the curse and the demon’s bondage.
I’ll dedicate my entire mind and body to you.
My master.
“Well, I see. So you are the Son of God who descended to save this world!”
“That’s right. Therefore, we must assist our teacher. So that the word of Deus reaches the ends of the earth. And that Deus’ kingdom may come upon this land.”
“Deus’ kingdom….”
“And the first of these is my kingdom, the Nova Empire. We will free the people of Nova Empire from the tyranny of the despot Dominic.”
“Liberation from the tyrant….”
Earlier, they seemed displeased.
But Zolga and Aurelia, who were previously at odds, now appeared to be getting along splendidly.
I’m hard at work explaining who I, the Son of Deus, really am.
Having passed all the trials, I have become the rightful heir to Celes.
Now I can freely use the legacy of the Celestia Empire.
Dozens of Celestians are liberated from Celestia’s curse and have decided to follow me.
These people can all handle Celestia’s technology, making them a tremendous asset in our upcoming battle against the tyrant Dominic.
Having pocketed all the legacies of Celestia into a pocket dimension, I led dozens of people on my way.
Now, it’s time to reunite with my disciples.
And finally, the destination of our journey.
To Orias.
