Chapter 52. Activate Plan 21!

  Hars saw everyone is already convinced. But he still pulled another potion from his pocket and called a priest. "Bring the things I've requested here."

  The priest nodded and immediately left the garden.

  While the priest exited the room, Hars spoke to the people in front of him, "Everyone will soon accept the blessing from the god of alchemy. But you must understand that the power of alchemy isn't only limited to healing."

  The priest soon returned while being accompanied by three blessed. Each of the three blessed held a living boar that has been tied with vine.

  While the three blessed brought them, the boar kept on struggling to escape while letting out many weird screams.

  Hars pointed at an empty space and told the blessed to pce the boar there.

  While the boar are moving around trying to free themself from the vine's restraints. Hars threw the potion in his hand into the boar.

  The gss bottle shattered upon impact and caused the contents within to spill on the ground nearby the three boar.

  After breathing a few times, those boar stopped struggling and their breathing turned calm.

  Seeing everyone's curious look, Hars expined, "That is the sleeping potions that can cause creature who inhaled them to enter a state of sleep"

  Then, Hars took another fsk of potion that has a cloth extending from it's mouth.

  After creating a fme by knocking two stones, Hars burned the cloth that extended from the potion fsk before throwing it at the boar a few meters away.

  The moment the bottle shattered, a burst of fme appeared and burnt the boar.

  As the boar is currently asleep after inhaling the sleeping potions, they silently get burned without much resistance.

  By the time they wake up from the pain, those boars can do nothing but scream and die.

  Amidst the boar's dying scream, Hars expined. "The st potion I threw is called fire potion."

  If one of the transmigrators saw it, they'd definitely roll their eyes and scream 'Molotov!' upon seeing the fire potion that Hars had thrown.

  This fire potion is Hars's own achievement and also his masterpiece in the study of alchemy.

  Unlike Lacius who focused on potions that's reted to the body for the sake of achieving eternal life. Hars focused more on creating powerful force through the use of alchemy.

  Hars knew that unlike Lacius, he didn't have such a strong wish to achieve eternal life. What he wanted is simply to make sure Lacius is safe and happy.

  Shaking his head gently to discard his useless thought, Hars summoned a ball of water and extinguished the fire that had burned the boars.

  After the demonstration was completed, Hars told a few priests to bring alchemy materials he had brought and began to expin the method of doing alchemy.

  "Alchemy is the art of the gods that mortals may mimic by studying the things in natures…" While expining, Hars has also crafted a healing potion on the spot. His smooth and delicate movement amazed even the pair of old doctors who had been involved with medicines for a long time.

  After Hars finished concocting the healing potion, he asked. "Does anyone have a question?"

  Everyone looked thoughtful before an old feminine voice sounded.

  Hars turned his head and heard the old female doctor ask, "The sleeping potions that the high priest previously threw. Is it created by using Lulby Flower?"

  This time, it's Hars's turn to be surprised. He didn't expect that someone could actually guess the main material for sleeping potion just from his expnation.

  The Lulby Flower that the female doctor mentioned is a precious magical pnt with the effect of causing sleepiness upon being eaten. It's also the main material for the sleeping potions that Lacius often created.

  Hars quickly calmed down from his surprise and began thinking.

  He knew that it's not like no one has ever thought of using magical pnts found in the wilderness to concoct a medicine. But the difficulty of gathering those magical herbs is incredibly high.

  Furthermore, even when eaten raw, those herbs also have their own magical effect like warming the body or increasing their stamina for a short time. So, they're extremely precious.

  Those facts make anyone unwilling to waste so much money and energy by using precious pnts on an experiment that might not even bear fruit.

  Only Lacius, who has the power of an entire kingdom is mad enough to collect magical ingredients from every part of the kingdom for an alchemy experiment.

  So once the people who often concoct medicines like these female doctors knew about alchemy, they indeed should be able to guess some things.

  After a short moment of silence, Hars contempted his choices and how to respond to the question.

  He didn't let them wait for long and quickly came to a decision.

  The first step he took will be to praise that woman and set her ability to know it as a blessing from the god of alchemy that Lacius has made up.

  So, while nodding several times toward the female doctor, Hars said in appreciation. "As expected of someone that has entered the god's sight, you should be incredibly talented in alchemy."

  Then, he replied to her question in a calm voice. "The sleeping potion indeed used Lulby Flower as its main ingredients. It is one of the potions that has been recently invented after His Majesty Lacius, the god of alchemy, has granted the miracle of alchemy."

  In his mind, Hars can only hope his expnation is good enough and this doctor will still accept alchemy as a real miracle that can be studied due to the grace of the god of alchemy.

  Otherwise he might need to dispose of a talent like her, which is such a pity.

  After all, Lacius's goal is to be accepted as a god by the people. For it to be achieved, every person needs to accept alchemy as a miracle from the god and retain their awe to him.

  ***

  Inside the Divine Space, Cedric already knew a bit about Lacius's pn since he discussed it with Hars a few months ago. But that doesn't stop his bewilderment upon seeing Hars who seems to be selling snake oils to the people.

  The scene yesterday when the people in Brown Oak City actually took the bait and began to worship Lacius as the god of alchemy is already beyond the limit of what Cedric can understand.

  "The humans here are utterly insane!" Cedric said while his mouth was twitching uncontrolbly.

  Then the System chimed in.

  [Yeah, just like their creator.]

  Hearing the System's word, Cedric wanted to get angry. But he recalled something and soon smiled, "Are you trying to make fun of me?"

  "It seems you forgot that you're the one creating the humans in my world. Previously, all I did was give my GP and let you create those humans. So if their creator is insane, then the crazy one here is you!" Cedric grinned.

  He finally got the chance to one up the System after being verbally abused for a long time.

  [...]

  [The System indeed forgot about it. Most of the gods usually won't purchase any humans from the system store. Only a phony god like you actually bought one from the store.]

  [Anyway, the humans the System created have a normal and sound mind. If you think the humans in your world are crazy, that must be from the influence of your intervention.]

  Cedric rolled his eyes and continued his useless banter with the System.

  Even as a god with the ability to check on the events in his world. Staying in the Divine Space alone is pretty boring sometimes. So, Cedric is gd the System existed as someone he can chat with.

  Of course that doesn't mean he'll be nice to it. That blue floating shiet has been taking a jab at him every chance it got. It's rare for it to take such a massive blunder.

  Now that he thinks about it, didn't the System introduce itself as the embodiment of the universe's will?

  At first he truly believed it. But the longer he talked with the system, the more he felt that might be nonsense the System just randomly spouted.

  [Whether you believe it or not is up to you.]

  The sudden appearance of a screen shocked him.

  "Privacy please! Has your parents never taught you to respect others privacy?!" Cedric said while waving his hand on the blue floating screen in attempt to close it. Of course it's all for naughty as his hand simply pass through them.

  [The System never met its parent.]

  'Oops.' The System's answers make Cedric feel quite awkward. "Sorry about it."

  [Apologies not accepted. Please purchase a Divine Item worth 100 GP to heal the pain that you have just inflicted to the System's fragile heart.]

  The guilt Cedric felt immediately disappears upon seeing the System's response.

  After this banter, Cedri felt his need for social activities has been fulfilled. Now he felt he can return to be a NEET stalker god and continue following the creatures in his world.

  With his new found enthusiasm after one upping the System once. Cedric silently observed the humans and found the situation in the Sacred Kingdom has been advancing rapidly.

  After Hars began to train natives in Brown Oak city about alchemy while spreading the god of alchemy's glory. The other eight children Lacius sent have also started the pns and successfully impnted the existence of the god of alchemy to the people.

  With the power of beliefs, healing potions, and the hope of being granted a divine blessing from the god of alchemy. Soon, most of the people in those four cities have already accepted the story that Lacius is the god of alchemy as a fact.

  While things seem to proceed smoothly for Lacius's group. The four city lords finally finished their preparation and officially unched an attack on Lacius.

  Every city has successfully gathered three hundred fully armed armies. In total, the four city's army has a combined might of one thousand and two hundred soldiers. Among them, ten percent are blessed with various abilities.

  Actually, the number of blessed under the four city lord's direct command is only half the amount.

  But they knew that Lacius's army had a lot of blessed, which is why the four cities willingly spent a lot of money to invite some blessed from other cities.

  Once the army from the four cities had been deployed, news soon spread that their city lord had started a war against Lacius.

  When the news arrived to the civilians in those cities, everyone soon entered a riot. Everyone felt their city lord had just bsphemed against a god by attacking him.

  Although Lacius has just spread his existence as the god of alchemy recently. But the miracles he has shown are innumerable and his kindness has been accepted by the people.

  As the riot that started from simple criticism against the city lord slowly turned into a serious upheaval, Cedric decided to make a move.

  In the Divine Space, Cedric immediately took his [Divine Intervention: Word] and sent nine warnings.

  One of the warnings went to Lacius, four went to the city lords that had gathered their armies, while the remaining four were sent to the people with highest status in the four city's temples.

  Inside Brown Oak city.

  While Hars has just completed his daily prayer and arrived at his room to study alchemy. A screen appeared in front of him.

  Written in a nguage he had never seen before, Hars found he somehow understood the meaning of the unknown word.

  [Restore order and stop misery from spreading in the world.]

  Hars opened his eyes wide upon seeing the message. “Hars has met the creator and has received your will.”

  Then, he looked thoughtful, 'Is this a warning from the creator? Perhaps it’s the right moment to start Pn 21.'

  Hars exited his room and gathered the priests in the temple.

  Once they had gathered, he commanded them, "Send a messenger to the city lords alliance and ask them to cease their attack against His Majesty Lacius. In exchange, we'll stop the riot from happening in the city. Also sent a messenger to the three other cities to ensure the people in those temples knew about the change of pn."

  Then he turned toward another group of priests and commanded "Go and calm down the chaos inside the city. Don't completely stop it but don't let the situation turn worse. Simply follow the rules and punish everyone who tried to take advantage of the chaos to do unsightly things."

  When most of the priests had left, Hars sighed.

  At first he wanted to wait and see the chaos happening in the city. At that time, the city lord will be too busy calming down their own city and will be unable to unch any attack for a long time.

  With that spare time, they should be able to finish the st step of their pn and allow Lacius to be acknowledged as a god by every human in the world.

  Once that happens, his mission is complete and both he and Lacius will be able to gather resources without a care in the world. At that time, Lacius's chance of achieving his dream will increase by a miniscule amount.

  What a pity, the creator's sudden order has disrupted the pn.

  Luckily Lacius has expected an intervention from the creator and prepared multiple pns in case they actually hit the creator's bottom line while implementing one of the steps.

  Now the expected warning has occurred, Hars simply needs to follow the pn and hope no more surprises will happen. Otherwise, they'll waste too much time on this mess and it'll become a loss.
