chapter 11
11 – The Command to Saulah
While Paola was staying with Barnabas at Orias Church, a member of the church came to him, Apostle, why did the crown of torment and the maidservant come to him? When asked if he insisted on his clothes, Paola said, “This coffin is repentance for the sins I committed while I was not awake. This robe is a sign that I am a servant of the Lord.” Paola replied, “The merciful Lord has forgiven all sins. The reason I still insist on this crown and robe is
New Testament Acts of the Apostles Chapter 17 Verses 13-16
“Thank you Lord. You saved me from ‘chaos’ with the power of the holy spirit. I dared to harm the Lord, but He saved me. How gracious.”
A holy spirit? I don’t know what it is. I’m afraid of that.
Why do you wake up on your own?
“Lord, I am only your servant. Give me an order I will follow everything.”
“Orders?”
What command.
You’re going to do what I say?
“Yes, it is, Lord.”
Even if you say….
She didn’t show all of her memories to her through her ‘her memorial music box’ earlier.
Rather, there are more memories that have not been shown, but among them, there is a scene that is strongly embedded in my mind, no, in the heads of all [Deus Ex Machina] Gamers.
This is the scene where Saulah annihilated Atzoatl, the evil god of madness who was one of the three evil gods of ‘chaos’.
In the final chapter of Part 1 of [Deus Ex Machina], Saula was reborn as the strongest being on the continent through the quenching of the gods of ‘Chaos’.
And the Three Evil Gods, convinced that Saula would not get out of their control, bestowed some of their powers on Saula.
In order for Saula to use this power to destroy the continent and achieve their aspirations.
However, during her ‘quenching’, Saula noticed that she was being manipulated by the demons of ‘Chaos’. .
Although it got out of the control of ‘chaos’, it was already so corrupted that it did not ‘awaken’ as it is now.
Rather, ‘Chaos’ was tricked by her.
Saula, who received her authority and raised her strength, decided that the time had come, and in her final battle, attacked Atzoatl from behind, destroying Atzoatl’s divinity.
It was a shocking scene in which Saula, who had lived her entire life under the control of evil spirits, destroyed her evil spirits.
At that time, [Deus Ex Machina] Was so popular that Saula was ranked in real-time search terms on the Internet…… I miss that time.
Anyway, I am Saul who tricked and killed even one of the evil gods of ‘Chaos’, the final boss of the entire story of [Deus Ex Machina].
The scenes I showed Saula were only scenes to let her know that she was being manipulated by the evil spirits of ‘chaos’ and was unaware of it.
There wasn’t a single scene that made her think favorably of me.
Still, she said she would follow me and serve me.
…… Why?
Could it be because of the awakening a while ago?
In reality, he awakened after getting out of the control of ‘chaos’, but did he think favorably of me because he mistook it for me?
…… If so, that’s not necessarily a good thing.
There is no guarantee that I will not be pierced through her heart like Atzoatl and annihilated someday, if she realizes that I am not the one who caused her to ‘awaken’ even though she said she would serve me.
And rather, I’m not as strong as the godhead, so I’ll be killed in one shot.
It’s dangerous.
I have to keep her away from her by any means.
But how?
I need a cause.
If she uses her clumsy pretext and notices that I try to keep her away from her, and then bites her tail there and finds out that I didn’t awaken her, I will tell her to kill her. May get hit
What is it?
There is no way to make her fall for sure….
…… Ugh
I can’t think of a good way.
You’ll think it’s strange if you stay silent.
“Are you really going to listen to me, Saulah?”
“Yes, Lord. If it is what the Lord has commanded, I will do it even if I go to the ends of this continent.”
… To the end of the continent?
Yes. Then it will be.
“Good. Then it’s Saulah. Go to Oriath.”
“Duck… Are you talking about As? Orias, the capital of the Nova Empire?”
The Nova Empire far away from the Calandra Empire.
The capital of the empire.
Even for Saula, it will take a long time to get there.
“Yes, Saulah. If you go to Oriath, someone prepared for you will be waiting for you.”
And by the time she gets there, a long time will have passed.
Her It’s enough time to develop the main characters of [Deus Ex Machina] To respond to her.
“Okay, Lord. I will obey the command of the Lord.”
Saulah knelt in front of me and bowed her head.
…… She’s cheating on her, so something about her feels bad.
Saulah couldn’t have a normal life due to ‘chaos’.
Abandoned by her parents, lost her newly acquired parents, chased by the continent’s exploits, and has been imprisoned for centuries.
Even though she is finally out of that ‘chaos’, you can see that she is not normal just by looking at someone’s willingness to obey.
She’s trying to trick her into sending her to a faraway land….
I’m so sorry about this.
…… Okay. Even this.
“It’s Saulah.”
“Yes Lord.”
“Take this.”
“Yes? This is….”
I took out one of her artifacts from the space in her arms and handed it to her.
“Ahead of you will be full of hardships.”
There is no way that she, who has lived a life that is not normal, will be able to properly adapt to the world. She will definitely have a hard time.
“I am prepared, Lord.”
“… Okay. …… Go now.”
She was the one who couldn’t be happy even though her first part ended in [Deus Ex Machina].
I hope she can find the peace she never got.

A few years ago, I woke up to ‘gift’.
When I first found out that I had obtained a ‘gift’, I literally jumped over with joy.
I, who has no talent in martial arts or magic, got a ‘gift’!
Now I can be with the main characters of [Deus Ex Machina]!
However, I soon found out that ‘Gift’ was something strange.
The phrase imprinted in my head the moment I received the ‘Gift’ is ‘The Savior who works miracles based on the gathered divinities’
No matter how bizarre the ‘gifts’ of the characters in [Deus Ex Machina] Are, this kind of ‘gift’ is the first.
Gathering divinities?
It is not uncommon for ‘gifts’ to have conditions. No, rather, there are more cases with conditions of something like this.
But divinity?
A resource of faith that only divine beings can handle.
There’s no way I could gather something like that.
Of course, I liked what was written after it.
‘Miracle’.
[Deus Ex Machina] Miracles in the world can only be accomplished by transcendentalists.
It means something that no mortal can accomplish.
A ‘gift’ that can cause miracles.
It would be nice if I could.
Not even divinity, not even a handful of mana existed in my body.
However, after several months of research, I realized that I could express my ‘gift’.
-Boss… What the hell just happened…….
-Hans… Don’t tell anyone about this
It was a miracle.
A miracle at the level of completely curing the permanent disability of the knight who was injured while trying to save me.
I was able to use it several times after that. As long as I want to.
Although the miracle didn’t always turn out the way I wanted it to.
So I set up a hypothesis.
Although I do not have divinity in my body, I was able to express the ‘gift’.
Then, by any chance, the book I wrote and the divinity created by the faith of Christos who believe in the book are also eligible for this ‘gift’?
If so, this ‘gift’ might be more awesome than you think.
However, as long as the cost of the ‘Gift’ is ‘Gathered Divinity’, there will be a limit on the number of uses, and according to the conditions of the ‘Gift’, the power of the miracle is proportional to this.
Then, I couldn’t abuse this ‘gift’ just in case.
In addition, this miracle worked on its own and I couldn’t control it the way I wanted.
I felt that this ‘gift’ alone was not enough to get into the main story of [Deus Ex Machina].
So, just like I had been doing until I got the ‘Gift’, I collected the artifacts and talents that were scattered all over the continent.
Actually, this is my main focus.
However, even before arriving at the academy, I had already encountered Saula and used the ‘gift’ and some artifacts, contrary to the original story.
In order to save the knights and soldiers there, you must consume recovery artifacts.
Circumstances that require significant revision of the plan.
I didn’t think everything would go according to my plan.
My plans went awry.
I can’t believe I even have to worry about Saula now.
…… Will this be ok?
Again, wouldn’t the future change drastically due to the butterfly effect?
