Chapter 941: The Ultimate God ④ (1/2)

The girl who appeared from the grown World Tree, Nebula, introduced herself to me with a bright smile on her face. Reassured by the fact that she seemed to be friendly towards us for the time being, I responded.

[I'm Miyama Kaito, nice to meet you…… Errr, Nebula-san?]

[Please call me Nebula, Milord! No need for honorifics!]

[Errr…… Then, once again, I'm in your care…… Nebula is, errr…… a Spirit, right?]

[Yes! I am the Spirit of Milord's World Tree.]

At first glance, she looked mysterious and cool, but Nebula-san seems to have a cheerful personality, and her small stature of around 1 meter gives her a cute impression.

The reason why she calls me ”Milord” is probably because I'm the owner of the World Tree. However, it seems that Nebula really is the Spirit of the World Tree…… I don't know why a Spirit dwelled in the World Tree that Lillywood-san said she had made impossible for Spirits to dwell in.

While talking with Nebula, I sent a hummingbird to Lillywood-san. I knew that she would be busy, and even though it would be difficult for her to do so right away, I'd like her to confirm this.

However, it seemed that Nebula's situation really was so unusual that within a minute, I received a hummingbird back saying that ”she would adjust her schedule and would be on her way here within the next ten minutes”.

As she watched Kaito exchange hummingbirds with Lillywood, a lot of thoughts raced within Nebula's mind.

(Curse you, lowly creature. There is no way that a lowly creature like you can stand above this Absolute me. Don't you dare get carried away…… No, wait…… However, if one were to be asked if Mil——– this lowly creature is to blame, I couldn't really say that he is. It was Shallow Vernal who was at fault here. Thinking about it again, he is just as much her victim as me. If that's the case, directing resentment towards this lowly creature isn't something the Absolute me should do.)

Calming down her mind, seething at the thought of serving a human, Nebula continued to think.

(……Yes, I can just change my way of thinking here. In a way, Mil———– this human is my first manservant after my resurrection. Fumu, in that case, I must take good care of him. Yes, if I were to think of it that way, I will forgive him for being somewhat rude.)

In a sense, it may be an arrogant theory, but she has reached a satisfactory conclusion, and her mind gradually returned to calmness.

Thereupon, Lillywood arrived and she alternately looked at the changed World Tree and Nebula.

”……I see, she does seem to be a Spirit. She also seems to have tremendous power. And as for the tree, even though it has changed, it's still a World Tree huh. I don't really know how this happened, but the birth of a new Spirit is a joyous occasion.”

(……T- This b*stard…… For someone who barely crossed over Quasi-Omnipotence, how dare you talk about me like you're superior! Even if my abilities had been downgraded, if I feel like it, I'll end your insignificant…… No, wait.)
