It was the sensation of the god that I had just met when I was pulled into the divine realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that wasn’t the only thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at it, it was clear what kind of relic this was based on the shape of this thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a trident, just like the one that the Merman King wielded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though with my sense for divine energy, I could tell that this trident seemed to be even stronger than the one that the Merman King had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this Aquaron’s way of apologizing or was it them just simply trying to bribe me to be silent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of what it was, it wasn’t as if I was going to stop what I had been planning to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, I would take this relic and use it for what I wanted to use it for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After picking up this relic and putting it away, I went outside to find that everyone was there waiting for me. The ones that seemed particularly anxious were the priests that watched over this temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that they had received some kind of oracle before I arrived and they had been waiting for me to tell them what happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they were not the ones that I wanted to talk to nor the ones that I wanted to tell this story to. There was only one person that I wanted to tell this story to first since they were the only one that could decide what to do with this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which was why I said, \"I need to see the Merman King.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The royal guards were surprised to hear this, but it also seemed like they had already expected this with how quickly they moved. They had figured that I would want to share whatever I found with the Merman King, which was why they had already been prepared for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the priests, I just ignored them as I headed to the royal palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with how they looked at me, I just ignored them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t take long for the Merman King to arrive back at the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had remained with the sea witches in that taboo zone because he wanted to watch over the other races, but he also knew that this was more important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once we were in this private room though, I didn’t speak right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a trace of hesitation that filled me since what I was about to say was something that would change the very foundation of the Merman Empire. If I were to say this now, it was likely that it would completely shatter the faith that the Merman Empire had in Aquaron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the end, it felt wrong to keep this matter from the Merman King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his empire and they were his people, it wasn’t up to an outsider like me to decide whether they should know or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, I said, \"This is a bit hard to say, but I feel like you should know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Merman King immediately knitted his brows when he heard this, but he still gave a nod to show that he understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I was done with what I had to tell him, the look on his face said it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ugly expression that he had and the way that he looked at me as if he was hoping that I was going to tell him that I was just kidding showed that this really was hard for him to accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, I didn’t say anything as I calmly looked at him and waited for his response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the Merman King could only give a sigh before saying, \"You’re really dropping quite the bomb on me. What do you expect me to do with this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, I said, \"I don’t know what you want to do, but this is for you to decide. It’s not something that an outsider like me should decide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Merman King gave another sigh hearing this, but the look in his eyes showed that he was grateful for what I said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither of us said anything as he fell into deep thought over what to do about this situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the Merman King suddenly said, \"This isn’t anyone’s fault.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was completely caught off guard when I heard this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, no matter how you looked at it, this was clearly Aquaron’s fault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, for the Merman King to say something like this...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Merman King continued by saying, \"Even gods can make mistakes. They might be gods, but they aren’t perfect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a strange feeling that filled me when he said this since I really had never thought this way before. After all, gods just seemed omnipotent to someone like me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if one thought about it, there were many things that went wrong with this world that the gods couldn’t control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one big thing was how the forces of Destruction were currently trying to swallow the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was a big mistake on the part of the gods, but they were still doing what they could to fix it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this did show that gods weren’t perfect...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll do our best to make up for the faults of our gods, that is the only thing that we can do as their followers.\" The Merman King said in a firm voice that made me knit my brows once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way that he said this was as if he was some kind of brainwashed follower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the end, I didn’t say anything since this was his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>",1011,"2026-06-03T08:26:16.272Z","2026-06-03T08:26:18.200Z",1,"novelbin.me","686893d2d4cd417e2c8e5233c631f0409e3ef12922d9cd854f4480df2c4531f6","shota-s-isekai-ntr-adventure-chapter-2032","shota-s-isekai-ntr-adventure-chapter-2030",2237,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshota-s-isekai-ntr-adventure-cover.jpg"]
