On that day, the world rejoiced at the descent of the Goddesses for the first time in a long time, and shuddered at the oracle that followed.

 

Suddenly, the Goddesses had descended.

 

In the town where the Goddesses had actually descended, the atmosphere was at first a bit of a grim one as people wondered about what had happened.

 

Then, as soon as the Goddesses emitted a recognizable presence, the people understood what that presence in the sky was.

 

As soon as the understanding spread that the Goddesses had descended, joy immediately came to the hearts of the people.

 

But at the same time, the question arose as to why the Goddesses had descended.

 

To answer this question, the descending Goddesses spoke directly to the people.

 

When they realized that what was spoken was <Divine Judgment>, they all turned pale.

 

<Divine Judgment> was a Judgment conducted by Goddesses directly descending to the people, as was the case this time.

 

At this time, it was understandable that they mistakenly thought that Gods would descend only on their town and that <Divine Judgment> would take place there.

 

It later turned out to be a mistake, though, since this time the descent of the Goddesses took place all over the world at the same time.

 

Moreover, immediately after the descent, the contents of the <Divine Judgment> were conveyed to the people from the Goddesses.

 

Even though they knew that the contents of the <Divine Judgment> were not directly related to them, it might be something that no one could tell whether they should give up on the fact that it was inevitable for people to suspect that there was some kind of relationship at that point.

 

Be that as it may, there was only one thing that was conveyed to them by the Goddesses.

 

The only thing that the Goddesses mentioned was that <Divine Judgment> had been put on the temple of the Kingdom of Gates in the northern continent.

 

The important point was that it was not to the Kingdom of Gates, but to the temple of the Kingdom of Gates.

 

Neither Kousuke nor the Goddesses intended for the people of the Kingdom of Gates to suffer any damage as a result of this incident.

 

Nevertheless, there would be some people who would suffer as a result, but that would be a problem for the Kingdom of Gates.

 

The size of the damage would naturally vary depending on how the Kingdom of Gates responded to the punishment this time.

 

As Goddesses, they have no intention of getting that much involved.

 

Anyway, with the descent of the Goddesses, the <Divine Judgment> became known throughout the world.

 

Of course, each country would investigate what the Temple of the Kingdom of Gates had done.

 

As a result, the activities of this time became known to the Higher Council of Temples in each country.

 

Since the <Divine Judgment> had taken place, it was impossible for the Kingdom of Gates to hide it.

 

Amamiya Tower also answered accurately when asked, so there was no way to hide it.

 

More than anything else, since the Goddesses were directly involved in this matter, it was impossible to hide it.

Kousuke communicated three punishments to the Kingdom of Gates, one of which was immediately put into action.

 

What it was about, of course, was the sinking of a military fleet from the Kingdom of Gates that was approaching the Central Continent.

 

Sinking the ship did not mean using the same weapon on board.

 

After giving them a warning, he used Tower’s function to make an irreparable hole in the bottom of the ship.

 

Furthermore, he also gave them time to complete their evacuation, as he had promised King Arthur.

 

He did not know what instructions King Arthur had given them, but they must have been given well because food and other supplies had already been brought out when the attack was actually carried out.

 

However, there were over a dozen ships that were approaching this time, and about three of them were about to leave the area.

 

Kousuke, of course, had sunk those three ships without any discrimination.

 

He had made no promises that they would be allowed to escape, so he did not intend to say anything about it.

 

In fact, the three ships that escaped would probably have suffered more damage than those that did not.

 

If they had remained where they were instead of fleeing, there would have been no damage to personnel, but they went out of their way not to follow King Arthur’s order.

 

It was possible that people could have died from the attack, but Kousuke did not feel any concern about it.

 

He did not know if it was because he had become a God or because the world he was in had changed, but his perception of the situation may have been different from before.

 

Anyway, the first of the three was carried out on the day of the meeting with the Kingdom of Gates.

 

The next one was the <Divine Judgment> against the Temple of the Kingdom of Gates by the descent of the Gods.

 

However, the reason for the <Divine Judgment> to be delayed was because it took a certain amount of time for the Goddesses to descend all over the world, so it was carried out after 24 hours.

 

The world was in turmoil for a little while after the <Divine Judgment> took place, but that soon subsided.

 

Once it was clear that no damage had been done to themselves, they went back to their normal lives.

 

The problem was the churches other than the ones that had received the Divine Judgment.

 

There were temples that were doing similar things.

 

They were fearful that the Divine Judgment would soon be passed on them as well.

 

However, the Divine Judgment this time was only for the temple of the Kingdom of Gates, and no other temples were subjected to the Divine Judgment.

 

Fortunately, there were no temples that would start doing the same thing as before.

 

No one was barbaric enough to do the same thing as soon as the <Divine Judgment> was executed.

 

The last thing that was done was the capture of the Tower of Bachem.

 

The reason it took so many days was not that it took so long to get to the Tower, but that it took so long to get to the Tower.

 

By the way, Kousuke did not go to the Tower.

 

He was going to liberate the tower soon after the attack anyway, so there was no need for him to go directly.

 

Kouhi was the only one who went to the Tower.

 

Mitsuki also wanted to go, but one of them had to stay behind to guard Kousuke.

 

After a fair game of rock-paper-scissors, Kouhi was chosen to go.

 

Kousuke could have asked both of them to go, but they refused.

 

For the two of them, the priority was protecting Kousuke.

 

Kouhi seemed to have conquered the Tower as fast as she could, and it took her less than ten days to conquer it.

 

Whether Karl was in the Tower when Kouhi conquered it was not confirmed.

 

Since Kouhi arrived at the Tower before the Kingdom of Gates party arrived back in the country, it was possible that he was not in the Tower when Kouhi completed the attack.

 

Even if he had been in the Tower, it would be plausible that Karl would have run away.

 

After the attack as promised, Kouhi immediately released the Tower, so it became a free Tower that anyone could conquer.

 

It was not confirmed whether Karl attempted to conquer the Tower after that.

 

As a matter of course, adventurers were seen entering, but the control panel did not receive any information that the Tower had been conquered.

Not surprisingly, the Kingdom of Gates was hit hard by the series of Judgments.

 

Ironically, they did not know if it was fortunate for them that no other country tried to interfere with them because of the Divine Judgment, albeit not directly.

 

At any rate, the Kingdom of Gates had no other choice but to focus on rebuilding the country that had been battered by this incident.

 

“At least they are not going to interfere with our continent in the future.”

 

Alec, in front of Kousuke, assured him of this.

 

He was not so foolish as to try again to attack Amamiya Tower in this state of affairs.

 

What’s more, there was a different benefit.

 

“It’s also great that the places that were trying to oppose us have become more reluctant because of this incident.”

 

For Amamiya Tower, this was probably more significant.

 

After all, it was recognized that if they were hostile, Gods would come forth if they were not careful.

 

To be precise, that was not the case, but rather, it was simply a misunderstanding that they would tolerate.

 

Of course, we would not take advantage of that.

 

If they did that, they could become the same kind of people as the Kingdom of Gates.

 

When asked about the situation, Kousuke would answer honestly, and soon that misunderstanding would disappear.

 

“So, can we assume that there will be no more countries that will mess with us in a strange way?”

 

“I don’t know. People are forgetful creatures. I’m sure there will be places that will put this incident behind them and find another method to overcome the situation.”

 

“Yeah, I think so as well.”

 

As for Alec, he hoped that this incident would make them untouchable for now.

 

One way to do this would be to create a new country, as Kousuke had previously suggested.

 

Of course, Kousuke was already informed of this.

 

How Kousuke would react to that would be a different matter.
