Chapter 362: Immortality
“Did you find My explanation strange?”
“Yeah” (Naofumi)
“But, Iis dependent on the person, right? It’s not like I don’t see that And to fulfill a sense of justice, there’s plenty a world that would lend its power and cause the fall of another”
“What? Weren’t they supposed to save the world from its collapse?” (Naofumi)
“In your world’s words, would you fight an armed criminal e the world, they’ll probably use some of it as fodder”
“That’s putting the cart before the horse” (Naofumi)
“The larger bug kills the s?”
… I can’t deny it
Rules are whatever was ic to that
Fro the Hero of the shi+eld is Melromark’s rule
In truth, froht, I’uy
Since I’ to do is defeat evil
“But… she’s already descended to the world, right?”
“Yeah, and she’s dragged eight different worlds together” (Naofumi)
“It’s probable that in the world that you’re trying to go to, the conditions needed for her to descend was the linking of eight worlds”
“I don’t know the exact logic behind it, but that seemed to be the case” (Naofumi)
Putting together the inforht
Or else, all she would have to do is come down and kill everyone in order to level
If there was a reason she couldn’t, that’s the safest guess by process of elimination
“That’s right Let’s coht stone on it, right? But what about if the stone were heavier? You’ll need a paper thick enough to support it The paper is the world, and the stone, God No, it’s probably couess if she just came down as she pleased, there would be terrible aftereffects”
A paper and a stone…
After the world assimilation started, the monsters levels all rose drastically
The paper’s capacity wasn’t high enough, so it spiked its level?
The world has its oidth, and a set aht it can carry
She gets it just big enough to sustain her before co down
I guess there’s some sense to it
“… I get what you’re saying Then if we report it to a defending world, e be saved?” (Naofumi)
“It’s probably iet all the way there”
“What do you mean?” (Naofumi)
“The one who latched onto your world seeaht just to see in And regardless of whatever country co closer, she’ll immediately suck up all the power in the world, pack up, and run away In order to see those that believed in her, those that were delighted at their own victory, fall into despair, and laugh I’ve heard about sos like that”
Just how much of a bitch is she?
Nothing’s happened yet, but I still feel anger building in my stomach
“To put it simply, it’s devolved down to a situation where the world will be destroyed at the push of a button It’s not within the scope where it can be saved Too late Even with her grand talks of the past, present, or future, once the world itself is gone, there’s no reversing ti to another world”
“But that doesn’t ive up!” (Naofumi)
I have a single wish To bring peace to that place
I decided I will save that world
“I know I never told you to give up Even so… with her doing thatmonitored, but there’s… Internal discord, was it called?”
As the robed figurethe ranks of a police force
While earning trust, he continues to perpetrate crimes
Even if heis on the other side to start with, help won’t come
“Then are you… a citizen of one of those protecting worlds?” (Naofumi)
“No I’m different I’m just in this line of work because I want to be I’ whatever I believe in And so, I have as ht as there are people in this world”
“Truly infinite?” (Naofumi)
“Right Whatever’s the right course of action varies by place Though I think the one you’re fighting has a bit too twisted of a personality”
I see… I ure takes a few steps forward, and points
“The world you’re trying to reach is probably that one But even if you can see it from here, it’s quite far”
He points into the distant sky
And there, a single large ball floated
But fro into a more elliptical shape
Inside, so to try to contract the ball, and make it smaller That’s how it looked
“If it’s that one, then I’ve been there before There should have been someone to protect it as well, but it seems he isn’t there anymore”
“So you’ve been to that world?” (Naofumi)
“I’ve lent a little bit of my power to that one I sometimes lend power to children like you too”
“…” (Naofumi)
“Let’s say I gave you three wishes Now then, what is it that you want?”
He suddenly brought up a question
… I suddenly remember a demon of a lamp
“Will it bethe one you like look your way? Or could it be… immortality?”
“Y-yeah”
“I gave that world the power to kill those immortal And that world on the other side just watched as an immortal made a mess of another”
So there are fiends in every world
It’s not just that bitch Goddess… This really is an unfair place
“Is your world a paradise? With the a, and anime you know of, isn’t that world like the story you’ve always dreamed of?”
“No, it’s more of a pain” (Naofumi)
“I see And, in the worlds I’ve stopped by, so that they can e on their own, so with opponents of that level, they’ll be able to e to some extent, I lend the hit by a conceptual attack is probably due to that…”
So that’s why I was able to survive her attacks that had things like infinite and eternal in their names, and flee to my world?
Atlas did say so like that before we left
I think it connects to that story before
What is it that an immortal will do?
Make their own kingdom, and show off their own immortal status?
“What do you do about Evil Gods? If things go well, can’t they be defeated?” (Naofumi)
“Gods like that are just in it for the pleasure, so they give up quite quickly As long as they can’t die, there are plenty of opportunities, and plenty of worlds out there But this time is different She’s just bloodthirsty There’s no way you can win”
“I understand what you’re saying I can only take this as an elaborate joke, but it’s not like you’re devoid of logic Then what should I do?” (Naofumi)
“Want Me to go beat her? You won’t have any part in it, but it serves to benefit both of us”
“If you get close, isn’t the world done for?” (Naofumi)
“That’s because she can sense protecting worlds I… can’t be sensed by the Spirits, so I can go undetected to some extent I think it’ll be fine”
He did say he can’t be sensed by Spirits
It’s safe to assu special about him
“But protecting the world will be difficult If I’ht before her eyes, then of course she’ll noticeall foreignwith her I’ with the world”
“Foreign matter? Can’t you just erase all of that from the world?” (Naofumi)
