[Langit–Birka]

With Amon revealing himself and Yona overreacting, Shandian and Militia watch the scene from the sidelines. Among them, Wyper stood with a spear on his shoulder and his hands rested on it.

He was bedridden for a week after fighting Amon, though he still planned to challenge him upon his return from Birka. Right now, he was only looking at the scene with bored eyes.

"Yawning ..." Wyper wiped his eyes. 'Also, what do birkan people want? They visited us over a year ago, and now ask to see us again.' Wyper thought. 'We will, who cares. He probably planned everything. That's why Duy and the others here are spying.'

Wyper chuckled when he saw Enel and the other high priests coming here from afar. 'Shit, will there be a fight? War maybe? Our strongest power is here, and even then, I AM HERE' Wyper thought while once again feeling grateful for his new power. 'I'll burn this place down.'

While chuckling to himself, Wyper turned his attention to the drama ahead.

…..

"T-I'm sorry for the way we treated you for the last 7 days!" 

Amon was looking in front of him, the red-haired priest bowed with his hands clasped. This type of behavior baffled and shocked Birkan to the point, after all, the Arch Priestess was only supposed to submit to God himself! Yes, this brat is also a God, however, they are aware that he is only a mayor!

Likewise, Enel stopped in her tracks and looked at this scene with her eyes wide open, and her eyes were red with anger. 'No, no!... Base******, you only have to submit to me after I become God!'

He wanted to run forward and decapitate her head, but before he could do so, he felt a predatory gaze. 

He gasped as he felt Amon's gaze. Seeing his cold gaze, he instinctively took a step back, although Amon immediately smiled as he sighed. "Faul... What's wrong with her."

"Hm?" The high-priestess behind Enel frowned. "High Priestess Enel, did you just curse?"

….

Ignoring Enel Amon looked forward towards Yona and raised his head by holding her shoulder. 

"Great Priest, calm down. You should only serve your own God." He said as his wings soared upwards. "I'm just a normal man, a man who wants to achieve eternal peace." 

Shocked after hearing Amon, Yona looks at his face even though his wings take most of her interest.

Ignoring his shock, he then looked around and noticed the large crowd surrounding this place. While the high priests stared at him with sharp gazes and eyes filled with questions, normal people looked at Ammon like a saintly being, after all, they honored the Great Priestess after God. So seeing him bow before her, they were sure she was someone special.

Yona averted her gaze and looked at Amon with a regretful face. "Please, come with me to the temple. We need to talk. This is important."

"WHAT?!" As he said this, Enel jumped forward. "ARCH PRIESTES THIS IS TOO MUCH! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?! THE TEMPLE IS A SANCTUARY, THERE IS NO MAN–"

"Be quiet, High Priest Enel! It's my decision."

Yona said lightly and pulled Amon forward, she tried her best to maintain her calm demeanor for now.

«...★...»

Hundreds of years ago, Birkan served the 'God of the Moon' who never answered their prayers. At that time, one day, having lost everything he had, a man named Raijin left Birka to wander the world as a hermit.

At sea for a thousand years, and in the mountains for a thousand years, breathing the wind and drinking pure water, he passed the training of a Sage. Withstanding all that, he obtained a Life Refund.

He still had nothing, so he continued to wander around. By living like this for hundreds of years, one day he was able to surpass and become the God of Thunderstorm!

He returned to the Sky in his old days, when the worship of the 'Lunar God' was stopped and the worship of the 'Thunder God' began.

….

Yona tells Amon about the legend of Raijin, the Lightning God of Birka. Although Amon, using his spies for 2 years, knew part of himself descending in the blue sea and gaining enlightenment, thus transcending as a God, he did not know about him as the creator of Seimei Kikan.

Looking at Yona, Amon thought hard. 'Hmm, maybe I was wrong. I mean, the legend is unbelievable, after all, he gained the power of thunder after eating the Goro-Goro no Mi. So this might as well become a legend in the end.' Amon thought and decided to add a few words.

"Oh, by the way, did you realize there was an island called Raijin in the Blue Sea?" Amon asked as Yona's eyes grew bigger. "It rained thunder there, though for some reason, I felt tied to the place."

Yona jumped up and looked Amon in the eye. "really?! It must be a place that God has been visiting for the past few years!. But most importantly, do you really feel attached to that place?"

"Well, yeah. But I never got in, it was dangerous, it was thunder." Amon scratched his head as Yona sat back down after noticing her behavior.

Amon opened his mouth again. "Red Dragon Princess–oh, is it alright to call you that?" Amon corrects himself as Yona blinks with an expressionless face, she tries her best to control her excitement.

"Yes... We pastors don't care about such trivial things." She said.

Amon nodded and opened his mouth again. "By the way, my question is why did you tell me this? I'm sure you don't want this secret legend out of here."

"Don't worry, we'll be happy if the legend of the Gods flows through the world." She said. "But there's actually a reason for me to tell you in person, especially within this particular room of the Temple."

He said as Amon looked around. It was a room inside the Temple of Gods, a temple made of white Marble. This room was soundproof, and although one could still scrape the Spell, they would not dare with the Arch Priestess inside. Or at least not always.

"I understand." Amon turned his eyes. "Then, please tell me." 

'I already know 100% of the legends here. Although I lost any actual information that you might know, I have created a story that would be complete with legends..hope that information did not mess with my plans.' Amon said with a grin on his head. He realized his next words very precisely. He, in fact, has played with Birka even when he was in the blue sea. 

Yona could feel Amon's emotions, only made-up emotions. He then pointed to his wings. "That's them, I remember the God of Lightning, having reached the Return of Life, having movable wings." 

Amon made a puzzled face in front of hearing it while having a shocking state inside. 'Shit, what man. Maybe he really is the creator of Seimei Kikan…'

"From what I remember..." Yona cut off his mind. "You met an old man in the Underground Upper-yard?"

"..." - ".A few seconds of silence passed, as a huge frown appeared on Amon's face as he heard this. "And...who revealed that information to you?"

He remained silent and sighed. "That's Duy's guest... But please calm down, it's not his fault. It–"

Slamming the table, Amon got up from his seat. "We'll continue our conversation later in the day, now I have some work."

Saying this, Amon began to walk towards the door.

"Please stop."

Before Amon could go through the door, Yona stepped forward with a drawn sword and scratched her throat. "Please, I swear to God it's my fault for asking him that, and I also swear that no one else but me knows about this. If you want to keep this a secret, you can kill me after hearing me, but please listen to me. I'm out before I leave." 

Amon looked at him coldly before sighing. He rubbed his temples and gritted his teeth. "Alright, but let me take care of that wound first."

'What race. Loyalty like that ahhh, I want them to submit to me. Give their lives to me, start the party*** in the temple on my sole order. This is why I did not directly destroy them.' Among the internal laughs. 'If I do, how can I find such a good robot?! The robot is under my full control!'

Before he could react, Amon crouched down, as he was tall for Yona, and pulled out a dial that looked spinning. It was a spray, which sprayed into his throat wound and instantly healed. That type of minor injury was meaningless to Amon's medical knowledge.

While Yona put on a surprised face, Amon was thinking about important things. 'This is the reason why I didn't just destroy Birka and take the fruit... Having a loyal person like him would be a blessing. No one should underestimate the power of religious people.' Thought Amok while smiling in his mind. He was clearly the one who ordered Duy to reveal the 'truth' of his wings, even though even Duy did not know the truth.

After healing his wound and using a bandage around his neck, Amon returned to his seat, while Yona also sat down with a slight red hue. 

"Y-Yes.so like I said, you don't have to be rude to her. Guest Duy is a good man." He said while turning his eyes away as Amon smiled.

"Well, since you asked, I will not do it. But please continue." She said.

Taking a deep breath, Yona regained her composure. "Well, if you don't mind, will you tell me more about the old man?" As he said this, Amon made a thinking posture. He didn't know much about the appearance of the Lightning God in his old age, so he had to make up something.

"Hmm," After thinking for a moment, Amon opened his mouth. "Hmm, I'm not sure exactly. He was made of pure light, pure blue light. Though I knew he had a long beard and big wings, similar to mine actually." Amon said as Yona smiled brightly.

"Yes yes." He's nodding. "He did have a long beard in his last days ..."

While Amon smiled at the lady's luck, Yona continued.

"Actually, unlike Birkan in general, the Arch Priest had always had a wider knowledge of the legends and the Lightning God himself." She said. "The seed of the Lightning God tree, the current God we worship is actually a common type of fruit in the Blue Sea." 

'Huh?' Amon was really surprised to hear that. 'So the Arch-priests realized that their God was the fruit of the devil? But they still worship him? I don't know that.'

Right after the visit of the Birkan priest in the upper courtyard, Duy along with several others were ordered to come and spend their time in Birka occasionally, that then continues to Duy who is staying on holiday in Birka for a year now. 

This year, Duy with his Observation Haki is able to spy on many things, and leave it to Amon, however, it is just the basics, and a little more than the basics. He did not know the things that the people in the Shrines knew, let alone had knowledge of the Great Priestess.

While Amon pondered this, Yona continued. "However, the Lightning God was able to place a portion of his divine soul within that fruit, making it stronger than before! After doing so, He finally left the world towards the immortal land!"

While he said this, Amon's face almost turned flat. 'So... just nonsense?'

….

Afterwards, Amon explained how the old man trained him, but he could learn nothing. After one day, when he took 30 days off from work and only trained under the old man, he was able to advance a little. Amon shows some evidence by moving his hair and other body parts, while Yona sees him in surprise.

Amon tries to 'fix' him that the old man is a self-declared Shandorian Warrior, while Yona corrects that the Lightning God is only humble. Saying things like how he left his soul in the upper courtyard for the test.

After 6 long hours of talking about this and that, Amon reached the end of the old man's story.

….

"At the end of my 30-day training, I advanced a lot. I can't move my wings. One day when I woke up I could not find the old man. Surprisingly, I even have big wings like this. I remembered how irate I was to her wings, and after remembering that, I didn't need a second to understand that she was doing something like fusing her soul with my wings." Amon said in a sad voice. "In the end, I was the one who killed him, and now I'm showing off these wings."

Yona leaned forward and clasped her hands with her hands. "Please don't be sad, after all, it is part of the Lightning God Inheritance, he has actually already reached the divinity and gone to the Eternal land. You can take it as a gift from him."

"Thank you?" Amon surprised. 'What fuck? Eternal land? Pff!'s!' He could barely control his laughter. 

"Are you ... telling the truth?"

"Yes, I wouldn't lie with something like this. Even though you are not wrong, you have a part of his soul. In my opinion.you are actually, chosen as someone who is qualified to receive the 'White Thunder'. The tree of God'."

"Huh?" Amon frowned lightly. "Isn't he your God?"

"Yes, but no. We Arch Priests revere the fruit for having the soul of the Lightning God, whereas ordinary citizens and Priests, even High Priests adore it just because they have been doing it for so many years..." She said. "According to the Arch Priest hypothesis of many previous generations, someone with wings like yours should only appear when the thunder god's soul merges with it..." Saying this she sighed. "Actually, my lord, the Arch Priest had previously died of a heart attack after learning that a man with movable wings arrived among the Shandians. He feels betrayed that Shandian was chosen with his soul, not Birkan." 

'Hypotesa?' Trying her best not to be horrified, Amon asked her, "What about you? Don't you feel betrayed?"

"I. But not much, however, of my life is to worship the soul of God, not necessarily to be a Birkan. I see it as my master's fault by seeing things like that."

'Damn, broad-minded girl.' Amon smiled at him. 'I wonder what service God can receive. hmm, that's for later.'

"I'd like you to take the fruit in your hand, I'm sure the two halves of the soul will react and you'll learn how to use the fruit."

'Fuck ya, ' Amon jumped in his mind. In this way, he will become a true God with true worshipers. The suicide bomber!

"But first of all..." Yona got up from her seat as Amon raised his eyebrows. "Since you have the soul of the Lightning God within you, you should show some thunder abilities.

'....Huh uh?'

Amon's wings currently did not have any metal pieces attached to them, and even if there were, it must have been taken away.

"Let's stand up, I can't wait to see the Lightning God Soul shine in Thunder!"

Yona tiredly walked towards Amon, while Amon just sat there.

"Hello?"
