"Huh—! What happened to the machine? Why did it stop working? Oh no—! Have we somehow angered the gods or something?"
People wondered as they saw that the machine had stopped working. Many of the people who were in the line looked crushed.
"N-No way—! It's far too early for the machine to close—! It's not even been 15 minutes…! Have we truly done something?"
As people panicked and wondered what happened, someone finally put two and two together and came up with a reason that worked based on the limited information they had.
"Can it be… the divine machine is angry at us because we bullied the weak too much and it had enough? W-What should we do now?"
Because of my small action of turning off the machine, a large conspiracy theory started to brew.
Had I been a better person, I would have reversed my decision to calm these people down.
But I was not a good person. I was a selfish person who liked to flaunt his strength in secret, even if no one knew about it.
