The outer god immediately synthesized and edited the memories of those three.
After cutting out all the past memories intertwined with emotions, it became a much lighter memory than what the outer god was originally measuring. This means it can be sent faster and to more people.
And it pushed that into everyone a little bit.
But even when it inserted Yasle’s memories, not many people accepted it and summoned the outer god.
It was the same this time too.
Of course, Hyunkeshuni blocked it, but despite that, the place with the most people attempted it the most.
In other worlds, it’s at most one person.
Even that was too much preparation for someone who had fallen to the bottom and revived to perform that summoning.
It was like having the hobby of TRPG in Korea. It’s a hobby suitable for unsociable people, but to do it requires a lot of sociability, a fundamental mismatch.
So it took a really long time to summon the outer god in other worlds.
But time was nothing to the outer god.
Actually, it’s an ability gained after blessing many people.
The outer god can’t turn time back to the past, but it can see different speeds of time flow for each.
However, if it’s the same world, they share one flow of time. But that means there’s no problem if it’s a different world.
So the outer god sent the book. Of course, it inserted self-advertisements saying it would give blessings if summoned between chapters.
It did something like mid-roll ads on video sites.
And imagine those ads appearing between online lectures.
The outer god is indeed an evil god.
But after listening to all those lectures with curses, someone finally succeeded in calling the outer god. Because blessed people were originally people who had fallen to the bottom, they were desperate enough to call the outer god despite such hardships.
A thin fishing line falls to the water’s surface under the night sky.
The outer god smiled and reached out to that fishing line.
But there was one thing the outer god was fundamentally mistaken about.
This technique is not a technique to call the outer god.
It’s originally a technique to call evil gods.
It was a technique to lower the fishing hook down to call monsters near the water’s surface. Not below the water’s surface, but above.
The person who originally created this technique thought of the water’s surface as the bottom. So they made it so that more capable people could call monsters crawling on the bottom.
It wasn’t the outer god that grabbed the fishing line. A huge mass of light relatively close to the water’s surface grabbed it and went up.
Of course, from the perspective of the high night sky, the huge mass of light was at the bottom, but it was too high for the outer god’s arms to reach.
After blankly watching the light going up there, suddenly the outer god realized it was below the water’s surface.
Clearly, it fell from above at first.
But now it’s both below the water’s surface and in that world full of light.
It existed simultaneously and was connected as one.
Then, where does the world full of light start, and where does below the water’s surface start?
The outer god calmed its heart full of intense anger and slowly examined itself.
One knows oneself because there are others.
Only when there are others can one become aware of oneself.
Like a baby lying in bed crawling for the first time.
So, like perceiving a wider world, the outer god took a step forward.
The outer god’s consciousness follows its body upward.
Very far.
Up to that high place.
Its thread-like thin body rises to the high night sky. And it realized that the night sky it thought was just dotted with stars wasn’t like that.
There are countless lights.
But they’re gathered densely, so from afar they look like one light.
The outer god thought it looked like seeing a galaxy.
To the outer god’s eyes, transparent bubbles wrap around where those lights are gathered. And its thread-like body is inside it.
No.
The outer god soon changed its mind.
It wasn’t bubbles but more like glass bottles.
Countless stars were gathered inside transparent glass bottles.
And a few of them were connected to the outer god’s thread.
The reason for changing the thought from bubbles to glass bottles was one.
There’s a crack in the glass bottle.
The outer god’s thread connected to light at that end is passing straight through the cracked wall.
But its body not connected to light at that end has entered inside through the crack.
The outer god soon realized that this transparent bead is the world. And it understood that the light inside is people.
The outer god was now looking at the world from outside the world.
The sad point is that this glass bottle seems to have heat insulation performance, as no warmth can be felt from the outside.
The outer god, thinking about how much warmth there might be in this bottle, shivered from the cold.
But that doesn’t mean it can immediately obtain warmth.
The outer god exerted force, but the glass bottle didn’t shake at all. Rather, the cracks on the outside started to shrink rapidly.
Startled, the outer god released its force, and the cracks stopped again. No, to be precise, they were healing very slowly.
Intuitively, the outer god realized its power was insufficient to destroy this bottle.
Then, could it someday break this bottle and harvest the warmth inside?
While pondering like that, it discovered an unusual phenomenon in the second world that tried to summon it.
Although they tried to summon the outer god, a strange event occurred in that place where the huge mass of light went up.
The monster summoned by the blessed person turned to stone.
As soon as it was summoned, it screamed that it was a trap and hardened.
It was clearly summoned inside a corpse with its heart ripped out. It was exactly the same situation as when the outer god was summoned, but a different result occurred.
Could it be because it wasn’t the outer god?
The outer god waited once more.
An experiment is needed.
It felt like it said it had accomplished everything, but maybe that wasn’t the case.
Actually, if it used Yasle’s memory, it could use the method to call itself as is, but that was large in capacity, and it was reluctant to use it because it didn’t know what bad influence Yasle’s memory would have.
So it slowly waited for the next opportunity.
If you stop time, the warranty period is infinite.
In reality, time wasn’t stopped but flowing at a very slow speed, but the outer god wasn’t quick-witted enough to notice that. Above all, now anger like being stabbed in the back was filling the outer god.
After a long time passed again, once again a blessed person thought they couldn’t change their world alone and called the outer god.
This time too, a thin fishing line fell from the light.
But again, it didn’t reach the bottom.
Viewed from above, it was no different from the bottom, but seen from below the water’s surface, it was like the moon that can’t be reached even if you stretch out your hand.
And the huge mass of light that was there grabbed it again and went up.
It closely watched that summoning method through the eyes of the blessed person.
This time too, it was similar. Instead of saying something, this one screamed, but hardened like stone.
Let’s do it just 10 times.
The outer god, thinking it was being cold-headed, tried to figure out if there was simply a problem.
Of course, if it were the usual outer god, it would have done it over 100 times. The outer god’s patience was by no means small.
But anger chipped away at that patience.
10 times.
All became hard stones.
The outer god had two hypotheses.
One was if the summoner’s ability was insufficient.
The other was if there was a problem with the book.
And that was revealed by the blessed people.
Because there was someone who researched the monster that turned to stone. A blessed person worked hard and examined the statue.
And he realized that something was sealed inside.
That it’s waiting to get out from inside that stone.
And that what’s inside is an evil god full of hatred.
But by the time that research was finished, too much time had already passed. In the end, the blessed person died of old age before creating a solution.
The outer god, receiving warmth as soon as he died, became very angry.
Really angry.
That book was Hyunkeshuni’s trap to hold the outer god.
Originally, if the outer god had constantly maintained its mysteriousness, Hyunkeshuni wouldn’t have done such a thing. To be precise, she couldn’t have.
But seeing the childlike behavior of nagging about when the book would be finished when bored, Hyunkeshuni wondered.
And she lowered her guard seeing the outer god’s appearance that showed no reaction even when cursed at.
She lowered it so severely that she looked down on the outer god as just a kid who only gives blessings.
Frankly, the outer god was wrong.
It was purely the outer god’s mistake.
To control someone like Hyunkeshuni, it should have given appropriate fear, but it ended up looking too easy. Hyunkeshuni climbed up thinking she could do something about the outer god.
She hid a trap in the book.
She subtly twisted the summoning method so that when summoned through the magic written in the book, it would be trapped inside.
She thought the time it takes for the stone to weather was time that would remain even after she lived and died.
There was no worry about being caught.
Because if someone summons and follows along cheerfully, they would turn to stone.
That’s why the cowardly Hyunkeshuni mocked her while watching the outer god’s appearance.
If the outer god had been a monster typically summoned, that would have been enough. If it had been a monster of just that level, if it had been such an evil god, it could have been sealed by Hyunkeshuni’s magic.
But the essence of the outer god was very strange.
Very, very, very strange.
The outer god was angry.
It made a contract, but wasn’t given a proper book.
The contract was broken because of Hyunkeshuni.
That means it can do whatever it wants to Hyunkeshuni.
Now it’s time for revenge.
The outer god returned to the first world again.
It accomplished everything.
But all it gained was Yasle’s summoning method. Mocking itself about what exactly was accomplished, the outer god turned its gaze and searched for Hyunkeshuni.
It soon found Hyunkeshuni sitting leisurely far away watching the outer god.
Well then, how should it vent this anger in this situation?
The outer god started to turn its head full of cowardly tricks.
