Subscriber of the Gods Episode 291
Episode 291. Clue
There was a small town underground in the residential area.
The walls were studded with luminous stones, and where there were no luminous stones, torches were placed.
“… … ?”
“Who are you? It’s my first time seeing you.”
“The Lord opened it with magic. Is Noticard a guest of the Lord?”
“But I can’t see the host?”
Those wearing robes bearing the Rosicrucian emblem muttered as they looked at Ethan.
‘Security is tight. Maybe because there are only a few people, they can tell who opened the door.’
Ethan looked around the underground city with the Eye of Horus.
‘High-level magic.’
Even magic that Ethan had never seen before was displayed here and there.
In addition, artifacts were planted all over the place, indicating that they were prepared to intercept outsiders immediately if necessary.
‘It’s better not to fight in here.’
“hello.”
Ethan, who thought so, greeted her politely.
“Noticard is somewhere else right now. The Dawn Society is following him.”
“… …Who are you?”
Their expressions hardened even more when Ethan mentioned the dawn meeting.
Ethan continued speaking without paying any attention.
“I followed Noticard because he said I could cure the illness in my body and complete my consciousness here.”
In response to Ethan’s answer, a believer who looked a little younger than Noticard approached.
“It doesn’t seem like it’s from the dawn meeting… … .”
Ethan, who appeared out of nowhere, had many suspicious aspects.
Amidst the tension, Ethan naturally approached the young believer.
The believer was momentarily alert and tried to use black magic, but Ethan’s words were faster than him.
“If you have any doubts, you can check it out. What’s in my body?”
“… … ?”
“What is your position? I understand that the person who brought me here, Noticard, is a Hoiju.”
“… …Vice President.”
“Then you know well. Take a look.”
The vice-chairman narrowed his eyes and placed his hand on Ethan’s body. At the same time, all the Rosicrucian believers grabbed their staffs.
If Ethan did something stupid, he would immediately use black magic.
The vice president slowly took Ethan’s hand.
At that moment, a tremendous amount of negative energy penetrated into Vice President’s body.
“Huh… … Huh… … .”
As the vice-chairman let out a painful groan, the believers immediately drew a magic circle.
At the moment when the pitch-black energy gathered in the magic circle was about to shoot out, Vice-Chairman raised his hand urgently.
“Hey, stop it!”
“Your Majesty!”
“Are you okay?”
“You bastard, what did you do to the Vice President… …!”
“Are you from the dawn club?”
“Your Majesty… … What happened to you!”
“No, no!”
The vice president shouted.
“There is consciousness in this person’s body! And it is the original, unimproved consciousness!”
“……yes?”
“Wow, is this the original?”
The bewildered believers lowered their staffs and approached Ethan. Then they were immediately astonished.
“Oh, that’s ridiculous.”
“Oh, really! Really! This isn’t an improvement… … it’s the original itself.”
“A huge amount of negative energy… … No, how can it be like this… … .”
Everyone looked at Ethan in disbelief.
Everyone present knew very well about the extinction crisis, because the Rosicrucian Order no longer had new members.
They are all people who have been working hard to improve the consciousness and extinction of the Rosicrucian people to the greatest extent possible in order to bring down God.
That’s why I know.
Interest is a miracle. It is a miracle in itself.
“W-You’re alive… … .”
“You can be alive.”
Everyone was dumbfounded. It was the original version of the ritual. The original version of the descent ritual was actually evaluated as having been created incorrectly within the Cross.
What if consciousness itself is perfect?
There is no vessel that can support that consciousness.
Although it requires multiple rituals, it has been improved to reduce the burden and increase the success rate.
But Ethan had the original copy of the ritual.
And that’s more than just being alive and well.
“Sir, no way. Wait a minute, are you Ethan Wickers?”
“That’s right. That guy, Ethan Wickers. That Ethan Wickers.”
There was someone who recognized Ethan.
“you’re right.”
When Ethan nodded, the two who recognized him let out a sigh. As far as they knew, Ethan Wickus was a renowned teacher recognized by the Sword Master and Master Legia.
“Then, by holding the original of that consciousness… … in that short period of time… … you became that strong?”
“That doesn’t make sense… … .”
The believers’ mouths opened wide.
‘For now, my doubts have been cleared up.’
“Can you explain to me exactly what is going on?”
The original consciousness within Ethan’s body.
And the vice president began to have some confidence in Ethan’s appearance as he spoke the name of the Noticard.
But that was only for a moment.
“Ouch, we’re in trouble!”
“……what’s the matter?”
“Up, up above is the Lord… …!”
One of the believers came down, carrying a person on his back in a hurry.
It was Noticard’s corpse.
For a moment, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Ethan.
“Ah, Ethan… … The Lord clearly sent you here… … .”
‘To make you trust me for sure.’
The surest way to build trust is to arouse suspicion and then resolve it.
I was going to solve the problem as I got caught, and as I didn’t get caught. I never thought I would get caught this quickly.
‘Because it’s much more palatable to clear up doubts.’
Ethan stood there with a gloomy expression on his face.
“This can’t be happening… Your Majesty.”
“How did this happen?”
Ethan sighed at the stern expression on the vice president’s face.
“As I mentioned earlier, there was a pursuit by the Dawn Society. I had some trouble with the Moon Followers… … Huh, I never would have guessed that this would happen. They tried to kill me first. They said they couldn’t let me live because I was the result of a ritual. In the meantime, Noticard risked his life to lead me here.”
“!”
It was clearly a suspicious situation, but Ethan knew too much about it.
To the most important parts of internal affairs.
Because of this, doubts were resolved, and the resolved doubts turned into trust.
‘There’s definitely a big conflict with the Dawn Society. I can definitely use this.’
But there was no need to embrace the Rosicrucian Order.
‘If the Rosicrucians had any real ability to cure extinctionism, they would have come to me. But they have lost too much when it comes to extinctionism.’
Even the Rosicrucians didn’t know that Ethan was suffering from genital mutilation.
‘The Rosicrucian Order has already declined.’
There is no way to cure them of extinction. It seems unlikely that they will be able to steal the original magic book of extinction that the Dawn Society is expected to have.
‘Then it would be best to check the movements of the dawn meeting and use it to stop them.’
They owe Ethan a great debt.
‘Even if we just handle everything here, the Rosicrucian Society has nothing to say.’
Even if we put aside the evil deeds they have committed, Ethan himself has an immediate sense of annihilation.
“The Dawn Society continues to target me, to prevent me from curing this extinction disease and becoming a perfect vessel of the gods.”
Ethan’s story was something that only someone who was not part of the Rosicrucian Society would know. The vice-chairman concluded that Ethan must have heard many stories from the chairman.
“You know everything.”
The vice president bowed his head in a polite tone.
“The Lord said that a god has taken possession of my body.”
“Oh oh…….”
“Ohhhhh… … !”
At Ethan’s words, all the believers fell prostrate.
In addition, all the believers who were hiding in various places came out.
‘I thought it wouldn’t be much.’
The number was much larger than I thought.
‘You must be very good at hiding, having been constantly chased by the dawn raiders.’
They were not even bothered by Ethan’s senses.
‘This might be more useful than I thought.’
“Oh God…….”
“Everyone, please stand up. I have one favor to ask. That’s why I came here. Lord Noticard opened the door and told me to come here.”
It was so natural to mix truth with lies.
“God, you don’t have to ask us for favors. Just give us orders, and we will follow your will.”
‘Blind faith. That’s why pseudoscience is easy to deal with.’
“First, please bring me everything related to the treatment of extinction disease.”

Shaaaaak-.
In a dark room.
Ethan heard all about the Rosicrucian Society through the vice president.
“In our Rosicrucian Order, we always leave the position of the leader vacant in order to honor our eternal leader, Lord Sundrake. Therefore, the leader, Lord Noticard, is effectively one of the highest executives. I am the same. And under me are the Rose Apostles.”
Because it was a separate religion from the Dawn Society, there were many similar aspects.
“Under those Rose Apostles, there are First Order and Second Order level personnel… … .”
The Rosicrucian Order also appears to operate under a similar structure to the Dawn Society, but its level is incomparable to that of the Dawn Society.
‘It’s really funny. The things they do are perfect for the Magic Empire, but they can’t do well in the Magic Empire and have come over to the Holy Empire to do their work.’
It wasn’t because the Holy Empire was easy. It was because this country was quite religious.
On the other hand, the nobles of the Magic Empire and the Emperor show absolutely no tolerance for religion.
‘If the continent is destined to be destroyed, I want to destroy it with my own hands.’
In the Demon Empire, it’s hard to find anyone in their right mind. The higher you go up the social ladder, the more this becomes true.
‘So the play was fun.’
There is only one rule there: only strength is respected and recognized.
“This ceremony will be held with the Rose Apostles. Let’s check first.”
Shaaaaak-.
As Ethan climbed onto the magic circle, a reaction occurred immediately.
“ah…….”
The Vice President saw the aura of yin energy rising from Ethan’s body. An aura of yin energy that was infinitely cold and settled.
It was the legendary black magic itself that Sundrake had created by burning his life.
The Rose Apostles groaned. Even though they were just checking, they were consuming a lot of stamina and mana.
If you keep looking at it, it seems like you’ll faint. Vice President quickly figured it out and carried out the ritual.
The important thing was to take away the power of that extinction.
Lowering its power, like an improved version of extinction.
But because the power was so strong, I didn’t know where to start.
“Start improving.”
“yes.”
While the Vice President and the Rose Apostles are treating the extinction disease.
Ethan sank deep into consciousness.
Countless scenes passed before Ethan’s eyes.
‘My memories.’
Those were the moments when I struggled to survive.
The days when I suddenly became Ethan Wickers and literally did countless things to survive.
‘And the new world.’
Ethan was a subscriber with enough power to change the map of the New World, the battlefield of the gods.
‘In the end, it was for my survival.’
After all, these were things we did only for short-term survival and with an eye on the near future.
‘It’s time to think about it.’
What would happen if extinction disease was cured and life was no longer threatened?
This place was no longer fake, neither to Ethan nor to Yedam.
‘We need to think about not only the treatment of extinction, but also the next step. And the step after that.’
Ethan no longer wanted to simply survive.
Gulp-.
Ethan’s body continued to sink downward as if he was sinking into a large sea.
As they descended, their vision grew darker and Ethan’s thoughts accelerated.
Then, light came down from above.
The light became a giant hand, wrapped around Ethan as he was sinking, and lifted him up.
At the same time, Ethan opened his eyes.
“It became clearer.”
It felt like the fog in my head had disappeared.
-Your chances of survival increase!
“It worked, Ethan!”
Rose petals were scattered everywhere. Only Vice President Bu was standing in his place.
Ethan checked his body condition.
‘It’s pretty good, I guess because it’s the place that created the extinction disease.’
It felt like I had been freed from the chains that had been binding my whole body.
Of course, my physical condition wasn’t perfect.
‘But at least it feels similar to when I woke up.’
Ethan was surprised at how light his body felt, as if he had shed his skin.
-You’ve received a new quest!
-Surviving as Ethan Wickers-6
And a new quest has arrived.
