What I told Celeste was none other than the story of Phase 4 power increase.

A shocking tale of how all the able-bodied people in this world will become much stronger than they are now.

"That's because the Sun God's descent is near?"

"Yes. I think so."

I said so with a shameless face.

...Actually, all of this was the result of Celeste's self-realization in the original story. All of a sudden, everyone's abilities become stronger, and in the midst of the chaos, Celeste deduces the truth of what happened.

And that truth...the process of discovering that truth...is now in the form of me telling her.

In other words, I'm "specifically" giving her this information.

And then...

"So, the Sun God himself told you this?"

"Yes, that's right, I was sitting idly by during the day, and all of a sudden, with a divine sense of the world coming alive, this information popped into my head, as if I was remembering something I had forgotten. I guess it was a divine revelation."

"Well... Well..."

Hearing that, Celeste's expression changed strangely.

...Naturally, the emotion was one of disappointment.

To tell me information that even she, a saint of the Sun God, wouldn't know about? Honestly, even the most pious person would feel frustrated here. Even clerics are human beings.

Of course, her faith wasn't weak enough to be easily shaken by something like this, so it was more likely to end up as 'I'm not good enough, or god must mean something'.

...If she can't be shaken easily, I can just stand here and shake her hard, right?

I took advantage of the momentary pause in her self-consciousness and spoke up, warming to her.

"...Don't be so upset. Maybe God passed it on to me because it might confuse you."

"What? Ha...Who said anything about being upset, it's not like that."

She responds with a cold glare, as if slightly stung by my words.

Even if you're not upset, when a third party decides that you look upset, it makes you think, "Am I upset?"

...Yes.

Like this, slowly, very slowly, I'll create a rift between her and the Sun God, so that I can get between them, and intercept her.

"...Anyway, if you're right, this is a big deal."

She closed her eyes again for a moment, thinking, then opened them again, her golden eyes locked on mine.

"Yes. There would be a great disruption in society, a bunch of fearless brats who don't know any better, drunk on their own power."

I said with a villainous grin.

How I love a good villainous line like that.

...Actually, by fearless, I meant villains, not heroes, but that's just the way it is.

"...."

"Hmm..."

I looked at Celeste, who seemed to be pondering my words for a moment, and subconsciously organized my plan.

The core of Phase 4 was the Power Inflation. This power inflation was only good for the powerful, and was a disaster for the general public. Weaker powers would become stronger, and stronger powers would become unstoppable, meaning that Celeste, right in front of me, would become even stronger.
