Chapter 940: The Ultimate God ③ (2/2)

No, but if I remember correctly, Lillywood-san said that she has made it so that a Spirit won't dwell within the World Tree, and even if Lillywood-san was mistaken and a Spirit did dwell within it, I don't think Alice would have been this wary.

In that case, this situation really is some kind of irregularity…… At any rate, I don't feel any hostile emotions from the girl in front of me, so I'll try to talk to her.

The girl that appeared before Kaito…… the Ultimate God Nebula, who had become a Spirit, was inwardly exploding with anger towards the absent Shallow Vernal.

(Y- You b*stard…… Shallow Vernal! To this me, to this absolute me, not only did you downgrade me, you even transformed me into a creature as lowly as a Spirit…… Mark my words, I'll never forget this grudge!!!)

Her overwhelming power has been downgraded to Quasi-Omnipotence, and the ultimate power that she possessed, the ability to encompass everything, has been limited to being ”effective only against hostile beings”.

She is as unrivaled in battle as before, but she has been weakened to the point where she can only exert quasi-omnipotent power against those who don't see her as an enemy, which is unbearably humiliating for a woman who recognizes herself as an absolute.

(……Well, alright. No matter what, the fact remains that I am absolute. Even if I had to serve such lowly creatures as humans…… Such lowly creatures as humans……)

While her anger at Shallow Vernal was burning within her heart, she regained her composure and looked at the person she would need to make use of from now on…… Her mind went black.

(……Eh? He looked really cool———- Hahh!? What's with the thumping in chest? S- Shallow Vernal! She even tampered with my existence in some other way…… She probably tweaked it so that I would hold favorable emotions towards this human…… G- Gununu…… Y- You b*stard, stop fooling around. Just with this, don't you dare think that this me will be won over by inferior creatures!)

As Nebula's anger flared up within her heart, Kaito timidly called out to her.

[……Errr, you are?]

In response to Kaito's question, the ruler of many multiverses, the Absolute known as the Ultimate God…… Nebula———-

[Nice to meet you, Milord! My name is Nebula!]

———–cheerfully greeted him with a radiant smile.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [OIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!? That's the fastest speed I've ever seen someone fall for him, you know!?]

? ? ? : [W- Well, please calm down. We still don't know what's inside her mind yet.]

Serious-senpai : [……That is, well, you're right…… but I'm really anxious here.]
