The demon lord who has broken out of the painting makes a come back.
"I've been thoroughly deceived, you god's watchdog!"
"Didn't you misunderstand on your own?"
Looks like he had a hard time inside the painting, he has injuries all over the place and unlike his gentlemanly appearance before. His 180 centimeters body has seemingly also undergone two-fold transformation, changed into a five-meter tall giant werewolf. He looks like he's going to bite with his bare fangs at anytime.
"Hey, demon lord."
"Shut up watchdog!"
The flexible shield endures the disintegrating breath that the demon lord has vomited for only an instant before it disappears. It can only buy enough time for me to go outside of the breath's range with Flash Drive huh. I really can't protect against truly powerful attacks if I don't get the Chanting skill in order to use advanced level magic.
"Do you know the bestseller that's sold the most on earth?"
"Fuhn, it's Bible right? Or maybe you want me to say 'Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung' or 'Quran'?"
Yes, the book that benefits most from printing is the Bible as it helps spread its ideology.
"So you know, I wonder why are temples in this world don't hold political power like on earth."
"What are you--"
The demon lord was going to deny my doubt, but the thing I wanted to say had been transmitted.
Yes, if the purpose of the gods are gathering believers, it's strange for them not to spread religious country and priesthood country.
Shiga Kingdom and Saga Empire have freedom of religion since they're founded by Japanese people.
There should be countries backed by gods in a world where gods exist.
However, besides the Parion and Galeon Union, and the Tenion Republic, religious country doesn't exist. And, although every one of them is big enough to be a mid-sized country, they really can't be called large countries. They should have been bigger countries if they're backed by gods.
At the very least, a country with a god that can easily imprison a demon lord in a painting should be able to invade Shiga Kingdom easily.
And back to the argument, I don't think that gods have any motive to prevent the popularization of printing which can mass produce the sacred book, the most convenient way to propagate faith.
"In other words, you bastard are saying that the one who disturbs the progress of civilization is none other than myself!"
"There's a slight probability about other third party though. Maybe it's easier to understand if I say that the one who's hostile to gods disturbs the popularization?"
"Ridiculous..."
I wonder if he's persuaded now.
"Ridiculousssss, then what have I been doing? ....Was this long strife a mistake?!"
Ah, oops.
"Grrrrou, just for what sake, this hands killed the crying mikos noda? Killed the naive commoners who couldn't throw away their faithhhhhh"
"Calm down."
Ah, he won't calm down with that huh.
Apparently, I've also become slightly flustered.
"I am c a l m. Indeed I am calm, cool, and collected, the Demon Lord Origin nanoda!"
Aah, he's begun transforming.
Looks like the dog-head demon lord is changing from looking like a dog-man into the form of a beast, a demon dog. The gigantic demon dog with more than 100 meters overall-length barks toward the sky.
My words already can't reach him no matter what I say.
It can't be helped, let's thoroughly beat him and return him to his sense.
With Flash Drive, I shoot [Explosion] from 256 directions randomly, and mix Holy Buckshots shots at 16 directions. The topography has become quite dreadful, but it's sand anyway, they should be restored if the wind blows.
Furthermore, I strike him with 128 [Thunder] magic, summoned from the thundercloud.
