“Isn’t it amazing? Sky blue hair! That’s a unique trait of your Pulsreino family!”
Excitedly shouted Andre.
Sky blue hair.
A color that is hard to find in the entirety of the Calandra Empire.
That’s why this sky blue hair was practically synonymous with the Pulsreino family.
At the Academy of Deus Ex Machina, the only ones with sky blue hair were Seiren and Meiru.
The problem is that my avatar, which is currently attracting massive attention in the Nova Empire, shares the same appearance as me, including that hair color.
If my avatar, that is, the “Son of Deus,” is suspected of being connected to the Pulsreino family because of its sky blue hair, and then it becomes known that my appearance is identical to the one revealed upon entering the academy, it could lead to the revelation of me being the same individual as that “Son of Deus.”
If that happens… oh, that’s terrifying.
Even though I’ve considered the risk of my avatar having the same appearance as my original body and its implications, I never had the chance to change this appearance.
The first time my avatar revealed itself was when my avatar opened its eyes in Ivan’s dungeon due to his arrangements.
The first human I met to learn about the location of my avatar was Simon, who was fishing in the Galilee region.
Knowing he was Simon, I accepted him as a companion and started my journey without a moment to consider my avatar’s appearance.
As my avatar’s actions grew in scale, I gradually became aware of the similarities in appearance, yet I couldn’t simply force myself to change.
After all, there were many disciples following me, and numerous people had already come to know me.
If I were to change my appearance without a legitimate reason in this situation, it could jeopardize the position I had built up, and in a worst-case scenario, it might expose my avatar.
So I continued to act with the same appearance as my original body, without changing my hair color, until I met Judah Iscariot in Genesaret.
A woman who had directly faced my original body and knew that the “Son of Deus” looked exactly like Luke Pulsreino.
When she met the “Son of Deus,” she unconsciously muttered my name.
But she soon dismissed it, thinking it was just a coincidence that two similar-looking beings existed.
It’s understandable since it doesn’t make sense for the same individual to exist in completely different locations at the same time.
If it weren’t for this “avatar” created by Ivan, it would be unimaginable.
Anyway, after meeting Judah, I gained confidence that those who knew my face wouldn’t suspect me, and I proudly acted in this form.
To gain more divinity.
To gather better companions.
And the more I acted, the greater miracles I performed, the more famous the “Son of Deus” became.
I never expected to become so famous that it would backfire like this.
“Isn’t it fascinating? This saint known as ‘Son of Deus,’ is he perhaps someone from your family?”
Since sky blue hair is such a distinctive trait of the Pulsreino family, it’s not unreasonable to think that way.
“No, I’ve never heard of him before. Does he really have sky blue hair?”
“Yup, I’m sure. Just look at this news article.”
Saying that, Andre shoved a newspaper at me.
– The Son of God Emerges Like a Comet in the Nova Empire
– …This man, who refers to himself as ‘Son of Deus,’ is called the ‘Saint of Capernaum’ because the location of his first miracle was Capernaum, but later on, after achieving several astounding feats in Genesaret, Debea, and Kinor, he came to be simply known as ‘Saint’ or ‘Son of Deus.’ There has been debate over whether he is definitely ‘Son of Deus,’ but with the Deus Church declaring that ‘the time is near,’ it is essentially acknowledged by the Church. Recent conflicts developed into full-scale war with the Holy Kingdom are also speculated to be influenced by the ‘Son of Deus’…
The ‘Son of Deus’… is this about my avatar?
It’s somewhat surprising to see the events I initiated appear as an article.
– The Dimming Age of Baal, the Rising Age of Deus
– As countless miracles take place and many witnesses emerge, the religious landscape of the Nova Empire is shaken. Following the emergence of the ‘Son of Deus,’ the Apostle Paulah, who previously drew the lower class of the capital, Orias, together, Orias was consumed by Deus, and thus cracks began to form in the power of the Baal Church, which had dominated the Nova Empire. Consequently, the ‘Son of Deus’ has garnered an overwhelming number of followers, leading to a gradual shift in the standing of the once-formidable Baal Church towards Deus. As such, the Deus Church…
Baal is fading, and Deus is rising.
Just a little while ago, they may have felt overwhelmed by the growing fame of Deus.
It all began due to the books I wrote, and if the situation at [Deus Ex Machina] continues to spiral out of control, the advantages of being possessed as an avatar would also vanish.
However, now that it’s evident that faith in Deus lends me power, the rising trend of Deus is seen as a positive development.
Additionally, the fallen god Baal is a target that must be eliminated quickly.
– The Promise of an Eternal Kingdom, is it a Sweet Lie or the True Pact of Eternal Life?
– From Capernaum to Debea, all the way to Kinor, the ‘Son of Deus’ is throwing the Nova Empire into chaos. The current Emperor of Nova Empire, Dominic Nova, is a usurper who ousted his father for the throne. Since then, he has exhibited a cruel governing style, gaining infamy as a tyrant. The actions of Tyrant Dominic have become increasingly brutal over time, leading to widespread dissatisfaction among the citizens of the Nova Empire. It was then that the ‘Son of Deus’ appeared to respond to the citizens wishing to rid themselves of the tyrant Dominic. The ‘Son of Deus,’ who was staying in Kinor, displayed miraculous healing across the third city while speaking. His declaration that the false emperor would fall and an eternal kingdom would rise, where a rightful ruler would save them, struck a chord with the long-suffering people of the Nova Empire. Many have speculated about who this rightful ruler mentioned might be, but the prevailing opinion is that it refers to himself. A significant number of citizens in the Nova Empire are showing support towards this new usurper. Thus, the incredible actions of the Son of God aiming to dethrone the current tyrant Dominic and ascend to the throne are garnering attention.
The miracle of Kinor.
Just a few days ago.
Having brought Aurelia and her escort knight, Migdal, into my party or rather, my avatar’s, we again witnessed a miracle covering the entire Kinor.
Capernaum, Debea, and now the third miracle.
I thought it wouldn’t be good to keep showing the same miracle for gathering divinity, but since many came seeking me for this ‘healing,’ I had to show it once more.
Rightful ruler?
That’s just laying the groundwork for Aurelia to be crowned as Empress after Dominic disappears.
Uh… it’s true that I’m aiming to get rid of Dominic, but declaring that I would ascend to the throne…?
Becoming the emperor of a colossal empire.
It’s indeed a romantic notion that would move a man’s heart, but… there’s no way I can properly govern an empire.
And despite being an avatar, I don’t want to be tied down continuously in such a land overflowing with opportunities for adventure.
I’ll give the throne to Aurelia.
She can lead the Nova Empire in the right direction.
I’ll just be the shadow behind her.
But why is Andre showing me these articles?
“Um… these are stories about the famous ‘Son of Deus’ lately. But why?”
“No, not that! This one!”
Andre pointed to a small article tucked away in a corner.
“‘Son of Deus’… a Calandrain?”
– Shock! Is the identity of the ‘Son of Deus’ actually Calandrain?
– It has been speculated that the widely famous ‘Son of Deus,’ the son of the divine deity Deus, might actually be Calandrain. The ‘Son of Deus’ is said to have sky blue hair, known as a feature of the shield of the Calandra Empire and the Pulsreino family. This suggests a high likelihood that the ‘Son of Deus’ belongs to the Pulsreino family. The superior trait of the Calandrain…
From the title to content, it seems like an article made just to inflate national pride.
The evidence is flimsy, claiming the ‘Son of Deus’ is Calandrain solely because of his sky blue hair.
But the problem is… what if it’s true?
It’s like a cow stumbling backward and catching a mouse unexpectedly.
Who would have thought such ridiculous speculation would go through?
“Look! It says he has sky blue hair! Perhaps that ‘Son of Deus’ is your relative?”
“Surely not, Andre. These articles are just spewing nonsense to gain attention. Most of these articles should be ignored. So don’t worry about it. They probably haven’t even done proper research.”
“…Really?”
Andre looked noticeably gloomy.
Sorry, Andre!
But I can’t reveal that I’m the ‘Son of Deus’! This is something I need to keep hidden.
Still, I thought that since the article itself was strange, news related to the ‘Son of Deus’ and his hair color might not spread far.
“Pulsreino.”
“Should we ask?”
“To him? Are you confident?”
“Um… I don’t think it’d work. Thinking about Cronia’s golem… ugh.”
Until everyone started staring and whispering about me while passing by the street the next day.
