Subscriber of the Gods Episode 96
Episode 96. New Believer
Grandhorn was where our ancestors lived.
My father, my father’s father, and my father’s father also lived in this land.
This land was extremely rich.
There were battles against countless monsters, but he was able to win every day because he had sharp claws and teeth that could tear through anything.
They thought that this land would be prosperous forever.
But as time passed, the land began to dry out.
As food disappeared and the land lost its strength, the power they had maintained began to wane.
Their golden power came from this land of Grandhorn.
As the land weakened, its strength was bound to weaken.
If your strength is weakened, you will not only lose the power to protect your people, but you will also not be able to lead them.
That’s why a solution was needed. It seemed difficult, but the answer was easy to come up with.
Another land that is being divided.
The land occupied by the mountain king Baekho.
All I had to do was get the land.
The land I once visited was still rich and beautiful. Above all, I heard that it was blessed by the goddess and would remain rich forever.
So the golden wolves decided to take the land.
He gave a very trivial reason. He started attacking the mountain king, Baekho, because this entire land was originally the territory of wolves.
When the wolves that were once his neighbors began to attack, the white tiger responded with confusion but firmness.
I knew their circumstances, but this land was the land of the goddess.
It was a land that those who did not believe in the goddess could never enter.
Time passed like that.
The wolves, whose generations had changed, came to believe that the land of the White Tiger was their original land.
Of course the leaders knew the truth, but the truth didn’t really matter.
The land was dying, and the land of the White Tiger was desperately needed.
“A good offer? So you’re finally going to give up the land? If not, then I can’t see it as a good offer.”
The golden wolf grunted and bared his teeth. As he bared his teeth, the other wolves prepared to pounce at any moment.
It was the first time that a white tiger had invaded.
Since they had always fought on the land of the White Tiger, they thought that they would have a better chance of winning if they fought on their own land.
However, there was no will to fight at all on Baekho’s side.
“right.”
Ethan nodded at the golden wolf’s words.
“… … That’s right?”
In response, it was the golden wolf who was rather embarrassed.
“My name is Ethan Wickes.”
“… … It’s Gordon.”
Gordon, the leader of the Golden Wolves, looked at the Mountain King instead of Ethan. His eyes were filled with a question asking for clarification on what he was talking about.
But Baekho ignored those eyes.
“I don’t understand. Why aren’t you talking to the Mountain King? Do you have any authority, human? Are you controlling the Mountain King?”
Gordon growled and asked Ethan.
From Baekho’s perspective, it was something that would have hurt his pride considerably, but for some reason Baekho continued to remain silent.
But the other golden wolves were watching the white tiger’s movements.
I knew very well from fighting him how strong Baekho was.
“I don’t know if you know, but that land was originally ours. Now, the mountain king has taken it and is occupying it. If you hand it over, the mountain king will have to hand it over. If you came here to play a trick, I will tear you to pieces and kill you.”
As Gordon spoke, the wolves howled in response, “Ah-oh-oh-oh.”
Ethan stomped his feet slightly.
thud-!
“Gorden.”
Ethan stared at Gordon.
“Isn’t this land you are on dying?”
“… … .”
Gordon flinched, but didn’t show it.
“Maybe that’s why? They can’t continue living in a dying land, so isn’t that why they’re targeting this land?”
“Bullshit. We’re just trying to get back what’s ours!”
“Then there’s no need to talk about it. Forget what we just said. Just forget everything and continue to invade and invade the land of the White Tiger, and you’ll only get defeated every time.”
At those words, Gordon growled loudly.
“You have already invaded our land! Do you think we will just send you back?”
Ethan looked at Gordon, who was roaring.
[LV 75]
Although it was a very high level, strangely its weaknesses were much more visible than those of the blue wolves.
‘It’s the same with other wolves.’
Even though they were clearly higher level and stronger monsters than the Blue Wolves, the weaknesses they showed when using the monsters’ disasters were clear and large.
‘It means that the strength is weakening.’
And it was clear that the power came from this land, for Horus’s eyes confirmed that the power of this land itself was disappearing.
‘They are connected to each other.’
So, they are aiming for the land of Baekho.
Ethan noticed that Gordon was growling but not rushing at him properly. Normally he would have rushed at him.
‘But you care about what I said.’
When asked if he had come to hand over the land, Ethan’s intentions when he said yes must have been quite curious.
“Gorden, you know best that these golden wolves are getting weaker. You, the strongest here, are the ones getting weaker the fastest.”
Gordon flinched again at Ethan’s words. But this time he remained silent. This was something that should not be known.
Ethan approached Gordon. Then the other golden wolves rushed at him.
“Okay!”
Then Gordon growled and shouted. The rushing golden wolves stopped in their tracks.
“There’s something the other wolves shouldn’t know. Let’s talk, Gordon.”
“… …What are you talking about?”
“It is true that I just said I would give you the land.”
“… … Why? Until now, Baekho must have made many sacrifices to protect that land.”
“Because I am a descendant of the owner of that land.”
“So, you’re a descendant of the moon goddess?”
Gordon looked at Ethan with a puzzled expression.
Ethan looked at Gordon and the golden wolves with a very solemn expression.
“The goddess is waiting for you.”
“What is that… … .”
Gordon looked at the mountain king behind Ethan.
The mountain king nodded with an intense gaze.
“If you believe in the Goddess, I will give you the land. The fertile soil and lakes you have been asking for.”

It’s been a really long time.
“It looks like you’ve been training quite a bit.”
The look in his father’s eyes was different. It was a look he had never seen since he had been stopped by the huge wall.
Anticipation.
“Look forward to it.”
Mason had a brief conversation with his father, the Duke of Yellowd, after yesterday’s observation class.
Duke Yellowd seemed quite pleased with the content of the observation class.
The expressions on the two brothers’ faces were also very good to see. The class was so shocking that they didn’t even want to make eye contact with Mason.
Mason really liked that.
I have once again entered the fight for succession that I thought was over.
And there was the most important thing.
After Ethan’s provocation, Mason had vowed to get Ethan’s compliments.
“It worked.”
So far, I’ve only failed at the academy.
“This is my first success.”
That was also a very significant success.
“I have no choice but to believe it now.”
Ethan’s words.

The realm of the mountain king, Baekho.
The wolves were extremely nervous. They had never been this deep into the land before.
And you came in here without fighting?
I even began to wonder if this might be a giant trap set by the Mountain King Baekho.
“Lord Gordon.”
“Do you believe it?”
“This could all be a trap. There’s no way his attitude would change so suddenly.”
The golden wolves advised Gordon, the leader. Gordon also suspected that this might be a trap.
No matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t make sense for his attitude to change like this.
But before Gordon could even make a choice, he arrived at his destination.
It was the place they were always aiming for.
Beautiful green. It was a huge lake that could be considered the center of this land. Numerous creatures lived around this lake.
It was the fertile lake that the golden wolves desired.
The wolves stared blankly at the lake.
“There’s no need to fight. This is the land you want, right?”
Ethan said.
“I’ll give it to you. In return.”
At that moment, the mountain king roared loudly.
The roar was so loud that countless mountain birds were startled by the sound and fled away simultaneously, making a flapping sound.
“You just have to trust Moon Force.”
“Moon Force? Are you telling me to believe in the moon goddess, Baekho?”
“Yes, if you swear to become his believer, I will let you live with me on this earth. There will be no more fighting.”
At those words, Gordon hesitated no longer.
“How can I become a believer?”
“You just have to change your mindset from now on.”
Ethan answered that.
“I’m not going to ask you to believe from the beginning. Just live here and believe in the moon goddess little by little.”
Even if we were told to believe in God right now, how many people would have faith in God?
Ethan said that the most important thing is to first decide to believe in God.
“The most important thing is to make up your mind. If you keep believing, you will eventually believe.”
“… … .”
Gordon looked at Ethan.
“I believe… … I will.”
As Gordon howled, the other wolves howled as well. Then, for a moment, their golden fur took on a blue hue.
-The golden wolves have become new believers in the Goddess!
-You have had a great influence on the conversion of the wolves!
-The goddess of the moon, Moon Force, praises you!
-Moon Force gave its name to the old temple that received new believers.
-The Temple of Moon Force [Grand Horn] is opened.
Shaaaaah-.
The surroundings began to turn a bright blue. Then, with a “kukukukukung” sound, something began to rise from the lake.
“Temple?”
A temple was rising from the lake.
“The temple that was on the cliff… … .”
It was moved to this lake as is, and a path leading to the temple was also created.
The wolves were mesmerized by the beautiful sight.
“Grandhorn Temple.”
Ethan spoke to the white tiger and the wolves.
“This is a temple given by the goddess.”
The wolves crouched down on the spot. The white tiger also crouched down under Ethan.
“Your descendants.”
“Hey, my descendants!”
‘Is this what it feels like to be a cult leader?’
Of course, Moon Force is a real god, so calling him a cult is a bit of a misnomer.
“The goddess bless you.”
Ethan definitely finished it off.
-The goddess rewards you for creating new believers.
-Enter the Grandhorn Shrine and receive your reward.
