The World I Created is so Popular

Chapter 29: False God and True God - 1

The Day All Players Received the [Miracle Spring Water]

"Daughter, my beloved daughter, can you see your father's face?"

"...Dad?"

"Ah, can this truly be reality? If this is a dream, I never wish to wake up."

"I can run! I can run now!"

"Even after a lifetime of research in the mage tower, I couldn't stand... Running was my joy in Rudera. And now, I can stand!"

"No way. I was certain I would never hold a sword again... How, how is this possible..."

"This sensation...! To have this level of vitality at my age! How long has it been? I've awaited this day, my dear. I've longed for it just as you have. Why, why are you looking at me like that, dear? You're going to wash up? Wait, what do you mean? Dear, wait! Dear! Dear!"

The entire continent was filled with joy and celebration.

Houses once steeped in sorrow, families drowned in despair, were united in laughter.

Everyone praised a singular entity. A true [miracle], one that had never existed before in history.

The one who performed this miracle was neither the Emperor of the Empire, the Saintess of the Holy Land, nor the Saint of the Divine Kingdom.

It was not the deity who ruled the continent for thousands of years.

It was GM, the deity from another dimension, the newly known owner of Rudera.

That day was forever recorded in history as the Day of Salvation, when the deity personally descended to alleviate the suffering of every person on the continent.

Somewhere on the 5th Floor of the Tower of the Labyrinth

"In the name of the Lord Deus! Be purified!"

Boom!

As a man clad in pure white armor struck down with a large warhammer, holy energy burst forth around him.

Kiiiieeee!

Dozens of zombies, struck by the holy energy, burned in divine flames.

"As expected of Paladin-nim!"

"What beautiful power of faith!"

The paladins, witnessing this, ran forward, showering him with admiration and praise.

But the expression on the face of Kenyon, the Paladin Commander who had created this scene, was far from bright.

'I have weakened.'

The title of Paladin is bestowed upon those who possess the utmost faith and power among the knights of Deus.

Rising to this position at a young age through unwavering faith, Kenyon had shown less strength against the zombies than before he started climbing the Tower of the Labyrinth.

'My faith... is wavering.'

As someone who wielded this power, Kenyon knew.

The holy energy, which strengthened in proportion to one's faith, had diminished.

His faith in Deus was shaking.

'The one who will save this world is the Lord Deus, and those who believe in false gods like Alia will not receive salvation.'

From a young age, his faith had never wavered.

Not once had he doubted before climbing the Tower of the Labyrinth.
