Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Perhaps it was because he had always been high above others, yet could never become a god in the world of monotheism, and because Saint Joseph, who was already showing a rather violent side in mythology, no longer had a beautiful face due to his ferocity, but instead appeared distorted.

"To kill a false god with my own hands..."

Haha, this is truly the greatest fun!

Deep down, he hoped that the god would be discovered later, so that he could enjoy the power of that authority for a longer period of time. If the little mouse was dealt with, this extra power to unseal the seal would be taken back.

He wanted to take this rare opportunity to experience its power more fully.

However, if he finds that god first, then there's no way around it—I've decided, I'll kill that god with my own hands!

We must pluck this delicious fruit before God himself comes.

Honestly, in this world, apart from the other disciples and the Holy Mother, only that mysterious and unknown alien god could make them fight with all their might. As for whether this process would destroy the human world, that remains to be seen.

It doesn't matter—even if an entire kingdom of humans dies in the fight against the Great Demon, it's a necessary sacrifice.

Subsequently, the arrogant and impatient Saint Joseph disregarded even Saint John, the youngest disciple whom God valued most, and left the passage to heaven without even saying goodbye to the Virgin Mary.

The other disciples frowned when they saw Saint Joseph like this.

The Virgin Mary maintained her gentle and loving demeanor, seemingly unconcerned about Saint Joseph's slight rudeness.

However, the disciples who understood its true nature noticed that the Virgin Mary's gaze seemed to have just glanced in the direction Saint Joseph had left, so they all took a detour and chose the passage to the human world that was furthest from Saint Joseph.

As we all know, the Virgin Mary is the most merciful mother, but every woman inevitably has a bit of pettiness.

In this fairy tale and mythological world, this character's pettiness is written out in the open!

Saint Joseph had already chosen his own death! Although they were brothers from the same mother in the fairy tale, staying away from such an arrogant idiot is the wisest way to protect oneself! No wonder that among the disciples of Jesus Christ in the human world, there is no Saint Joseph.

He's probably been released long ago...

On the other hand, Saint Joseph, who chose the path of death, was targeted because he was the first to return from heaven.

For Ye, who already possessed part of the power of St. Peter, the gatekeeper of the Kingdom of Heaven, even if he didn't need the two golden keys that God gave to St. Peter in mythology, the keys were merely a description in a way that humans could understand.

It is authority that truly holds the gates of heaven!

If we compare the world to Homer's mainframe, then the twelve disciples are like twelve layers of underlying program code, working together to run the system.

Saint Peter is in charge of the WiFi local area network connecting the two worlds of Heaven and Earth. If Ye wanted to, he could have just given the twelve disciples and others who wanted to descend to the mortal world a "You have been disconnected" message, trapping them in the Heavenly world where they could only play single-player games.

But this will inevitably lead God to find out where it is.

Of course, there's no need to do that.

When he sensed an aura that was exactly the same as that of Saint Peter before, only more powerful, Ye was still not surprised by this level.

Ye opened her eyes slightly and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

Do you really want to meet yourself?

That's fine then. It's decided, you're next.

—Saint Joseph!

Chapter Twenty-Four: You are guilty, you born evil little devil of Satan!

Spreading love to the earth is something we should never fail to do.

Although his personality was somewhat extreme and twisted, Saint Joseph was indeed doing things to spread love.

Spread love in his own way, in the way he believes in!

He revels in and is self-satisfied with his boundless love, needing no approval from others.

He believed that what he was doing must be glorious and righteous—after all, he was one of the twelve disciples!

Although it is well known that the twelve disciples could have thirteen, or even more—

Just like the thirteen gates in Heaven, behind each gate resides a saint, much like the Saints of the Zodiac.

Even if the number of saints could be greater than it actually is, as the most well-known figure under the throne of God, Saint Joseph had every right to be proud.

He is an apostle of God...

He is a near-divine being, far surpassing all angels! All things should worship him as they would worship God.

In order to be more like God, Saint Joseph tirelessly learned to do all the things that God had done.

He heard that in the beginning, when God was still the Christ of mankind, he and St. Peter guided many good people, rewarding them and punishing those who did not behave well.

Then he too must do the same—! Even more so, he must take it to the extreme!

God promised a large sum of money to the kind-hearted person who took him in, who could work efficiently all day to weave a house full of cloth.

If God caused the greedy man's entire year's harvest to turn to black ash in the flames, then He would directly bestow upon the greedy man the most extreme and terrifying experience of death.

After leaving Heaven, I arrived at a forest hut where I had previously lived on Earth.

He had been here before, disguised as an old man with a white beard, testing the two girls...

There is a poor family living nearby, consisting of a single mother and her three daughters.

The youngest daughter who came earlier was very filial and kind. She cooked for him and gave him her bed, while she slept on straw herself.

St. Joseph, who was being pampered, rewarded her with a large bag of gold coins.

The second daughter, who arrived shortly after, was given an even bigger pancake and bread by her mother.

However, he didn't share all the good food with Saint Joseph when they ate, but he was willing to share with him. They even squeezed into bed together when they slept, although he was quite unhappy about it... Nevertheless, Saint Joseph still gave him a palm-sized bag of gold coins.

Now he awaits the arrival of his third daughter—his last and eldest daughter.

However, it seems that because Saint Joseph went back to heaven, he waited outside the cabin all night in vain. As darkness fell, his eldest daughter, who was also lost and afraid of wild animals in the forest, had to spend the night outside.

Furthermore, she hadn't yet obtained a large amount of gold coins from the old man in the magical wooden house. Since her two younger sisters could do it, there was no reason why she couldn't. At this moment, the eldest daughter was unwilling to go back empty-handed in such a disheveled and humiliating manner.

Despite having brought more bread and cheese this time, she couldn't help but eat a lot of it because she was hungry and cold.

When she woke up and found the lights on in the cabin, she immediately realized that the old man (Saint Joseph) had returned.

Saint Joseph, who had just gained new power and was in high spirits, was determined to reward the little girl handsomely if she performed well.

however--

Children are prone to getting hungry, and when Saint Joseph, disguised as an old man, took her into the house and asked for some food for dinner...

The girl said she was also extremely hungry and would share any extra food with the elderly.

Then, driven by hunger and greed, he ate most of the food without realizing it, leaving only a little bit of food for the old man.

The old man then told him to lie down on the bed and go to sleep, while he slept on dry straw.

The girl, who had been pampered since childhood, was freezing these past two days. Her longing for the bed, coupled with her mother's previous doting, led her to choose to sleep in the bed without any thought of refusal.

While these behaviors can hardly be called kindness—in the host's household they could be considered somewhat selfish—they can at most be described as spoiled rather than malicious.

But when the next day arrived, Saint Joseph, lying on the straw, opened his eyes, and his eyes were filled with coldness.

He waited all night, but the girl, without a shred of shame, slept soundly in her warm bed!

He didn't care whether it was a child or not, nor how long the other person had waited for him outside, how tired or hungry they were, or that he was the one who asked the child to sleep in the bed yesterday.

Although he made the request, it doesn't mean the other person can sleep comfortably on a soft bed.

Even if there is someone tempting you, a truly filial and kind child will never succumb to such temptation!

This is a devilish child, a vicious child, and he absolutely cannot be allowed to grow up normally.

He wanted to teach them the harshest lesson!

If it were a few days ago, before Saint Joseph's power had surged, he would at most conjure a money pouch, waiting for the girl to reach for it, and then have the venomous snake inside bite off her nose.

(In the original story, the eldest daughter's fate is to have her nose bitten—later, fearing her mother's punishment for not bringing back the gold coins, she lies and claims she lost them on the way, thus committing the sin of lying. In fairy tales, lying is punished most severely. The neighboring Virgin Mary, as the fairy godmother of a certain heroine, even cruelly takes away both of her goddaughter's children, just to force her to submit. Saint Joseph is no less ruthless, ultimately having countless snakes and lizards kill his daughter and injure his mother.)

But now—Saint Joseph has changed his mind!

My good mood has turned into a bad mood!

To fool a near-god like this—! In other mythological worlds, this would be considered fooling a god-king!

Think of the Greek pantheon, where the gods would inflict cruel punishments upon discovering that mortals had fooled them. Think of the ruthless punishments God would inflict upon encountering such 'vicious' humans when he walked among them.

Such viciousness must never be tolerated...

Possessing power comparable to a god, and as revered as the god next door, second only to the god of this world, he was deeply humiliated to be served with such disrespect by a young girl!

At that moment—the thought of properly rewarding the other person vanished.

The better the disciple was yesterday, the stronger the raging anger will be now that he is arrogant and being treated with disdain!

Thinking of this, the old man stood up and came to the bedside at some point, staring coldly at the girl sleeping soundly on the bed.

Amidst this uncomfortable scrutiny, the eldest daughter, who had just woken up, quickly noticed the old man's strange behavior and immediately screamed in fright.

The next moment, he heard a chilling, indifferent voice from the old man, as if he were being judged.

Like thunderbolts from heaven—! Overwhelming violence and a dangerous aura capable of destroying everything—! "Evil son of Satan—! You—are guilty, you born evil imp!"

Chapter Twenty-Five: What kind of evil power is this, the Lord's—miracle? Are you kidding me?

There is no real Satan in this world!

If ordinary people don't understand, how could a sage not understand?

Because God is unique—there is no devil who can be called God's enemy.

Even Hell, which is the opposite of Heaven, is just another dimension under the control of God.

No one can truly ascend to the position of Satan.

But this does not affect the claim by which Saint Joseph referred to himself as the son of Satan as the most evil being he knew.

The next moment, boom! !

In the girl's eyes, in an instant, the old man seemed to transform into a terrifying, twisted creature, with countless tangled tentacles and a single eye burning like a torch.

In another flash—the monster changed its form again, like a pure white, exquisite, and powerful statue, just like David—every inch of its body was perfect like a work of art, but its pupils were empty, staring straight at the girl. Such divinity was so eerie and terrifying!! It evoked the uncanny valley effect from the depths of one's heart!

The next moment, the statue's mouth opened, and countless locusts, snakes, scorpions, and lizards shot out and attacked the girl.

The girl let out a piercing scream.

However, the next moment, a dazzling golden sword, like the sword of the sun, struck swiftly, quickly burning away a large number of insects and separating the girl and Saint Joseph.

Then St. George, that reliable figure, appeared in the room.
