Although he heard the god's reply, the old man was not a divine scroll user after all, and his aged and decaying body was on the verge of collapse.

Seemingly sensing the crisis facing the believers, the deity, without joy or sorrow, issued a command:

Leave.

Go and continue your mission.

"Thank you for your understanding. Well then... I'll take my leave."

The old man stood up shakily, bowed weakly to the still empty wall, and then turned and left.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally left the room and saw the waiter waiting outside the door.

"grown ups……"

The waiter tried to say something, but the old man raised his hand to stop him.

The old man, his head trembling, raised it and gazed at the sky, speaking excitedly but incoherently:

“I heard it… Father, I heard it.”

"Waaah... The Lord has not abandoned us, He has not."

Then, in a fit of extreme excitement, the old man fainted and fell into the messenger's hastily opened arms.

"Quickly, take the adult to a doctor! Hurry!"

"quick!!!"

He was lifted up, and even in his unconscious state, the old man showed a faint smile.

"Lord, you still have mercy on us..."

Like a child, she smiled contentedly.

Creak...Crunch.

After the old man left, the door to the room slowly closed, and everything in the secret room seemed to return to its previous state.

The only thing that changed was the wall, which appeared empty to the old man.

Throughout the entire ordeal, the old man remained unaware that the wall in front of him was not actually blank, but rather contained a pale golden, human-shaped phantom.

Similarly, he didn't notice the emotions contained in the phantom's eyes when he spoke.

That was not the benevolent and gentle look that people imagine when gods look at their beloved believers.

No, those beautiful emotions never appeared in it.

All that existed in those eyes was coldness and indifference.

Does God love the world?

maybe.

At least, she was not the benevolent deity the old man had imagined.

With a slight shake of his head, the illusory image of the deity began to dim and would soon dissipate completely.

Just before she left, a discordant voice suddenly rang out in the silent chamber:

"I'm telling you..."

The girl's voice suddenly rang out, causing the golden figure, which was about to shatter, to solidify again.

"Are you addicted? Don't get too caught up in the role! Be careful, or you might really turn into... tsk."

Damn it, that was a miscalculation!

Why do I care about this little thing?

If this guy wanted to, he would have become a god ten years ago...

"Never mind! Just pretend I didn't say anything."

Those eyes, which had remained indifferent until now, had completely changed, filled with a warm smile.

"Thank you for your concern, but I'm fine."

He smiled and said softly:

"Alice, Your Majesty."

The girl's reaction to this was:

"Ah!! Ah!!! I can't hear you! I don't know what you're saying—"

"Let's go, let's go!"

snort!

What a great prophet!

He's clearly a dark and wicked person!

A New Year's letter to my book-loving friends

In short, if I've written this correctly, everyone can participate in the lucky draw in the bonus chapter later.

As for the main body, "A New Year's Letter to My Book Lovers"... I feel like I wrote a lot about it last year, so there's not much to say anymore.

I'm aware that I'm actually among the authors with the highest interaction frequency.

After all, not everyone can juggle writing part-time with intensive comment replying and managing reader groups.

There's no particular reason; I just enjoy interacting with my readers.

I also gain and experience happiness from talking with you.

Sadly, this also became part of my source of pain.

I've always been an optimistic person, but I had some different insights last year.

Life is often unsatisfactory, with eight or nine out of ten things going wrong.

Not everyone deserves your all.

Life is nothing more than a series of ups and downs.

I've experienced a lot, things I can talk about and things I can't talk about... It's been a year in which I've grown a lot in every sense.

Mercury retrograde all year! (laughs)

Am I feeling down? Maybe a little. Reality forces me to bow my head.

But bowing your head doesn't mean giving up.

I will not give up; I will give this story an ending no matter what.

I usually like to say something in a separate chapter, but now I suddenly find myself unable to say anything.

I've already said too much. There's no point in complaining about the current tragic situation; it would only make us a laughingstock.

After I finish this book, I will continue to write more books.

I'm not about to collapse, and I ask that you all not just watch me fall, but offer some help.

As for the content, it hasn't been finalized yet, but it will probably be a cheerful story.

Life is hard enough; let's not dwell on the bitterness and resentment.

After thinking it over, I don't have much to say, so I'll just wish everyone a Happy New Year in advance.

Wishing you good health and all the best.

Of course, I also hope that everyone can find more joy and happiness in the new year.

Wishing you peace and joy in 2023.

Everything went smoothly.

……

……

In addition, my face was swollen after I had my tooth extracted yesterday, and I felt very uncomfortable. I also had a headache that made it difficult for me to concentrate.

I have to take the day off today.

I dislike taking leave the most, even more than you guys.

After all, if I don't update, you just won't see the updates, but I won't get paid...

My first New Year's wish.

Everyone can make a lot of money, and then I can have a share.

Break it down! Break it down!

Chapter 497 Angry?

Castle in the Sky.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

The girl inside the crystal was furious and angrily severed her connection with the other side.

"Can anyone tell me why this guy is so annoying!"

She was quite cute when she broke down before, so why has she become more and more infuriating after recovering?

Not cute at all!

"You bastard! He knows perfectly well I don't like that nickname!"

Your Majesty...

To hell with your majesty.

No, I'm not! I'm definitely not!

It was just something I said casually as a joke. How come this person doesn't know how to make a joke?

Is it really necessary for everyone to know?!
