Arc 27: The Reverse World
Chapter 277: The Evil God, and the Cocoon
The next day, I pay a visit to Kaht Luu’s hand with the cake that our head chief Clair-san has made
「I’ve definitely troubled you on that occasion…」(Touya)
「I told you already not to ated a little bit and ratitude」(Kami)
Kami-sama accepts the souvenirs and places theerator similar to the one seen froht be too late to say this but, that refrigerator is probably a sacred artifact as well
「A Different World Transition itself isn’t so that unusual, you know In fact, there are people fro rituals as well There are also those people who are intended to be suh to lose their way in the process of being summoned due to the cracks in the space-time continuum There are even people who hold such abilities from birth」
So the often used troupe in novels where a hero is suory as this otherworldly summons, huh? It appears that there are also those who possibly possess abilities to [Wander the worlds] like End does
「Speaking of the world I’ve gone to this time Do you have any idea what kind of world that place is?」(Touya)
「That one? Well, it’s one of the adjacent worlds to the one you currently reside in, if I say it in layman’s terms Since that’s the case, it should also have a lot of aspects which resemble your world Nevertheless, it’s not a world that has “another version of each person” despite the resemblance of that world to yours」 (Kami)
There’s definitely some resemblance, but it’s probably in teric, and how coh please spare ht that it’s an inverted parallel world wherein I’ve turned into a woman
「Moreover, that world was also ruined once by a great war」(Kami)
「Eh? Was it due to the frazes?」(Touya)
「No, that wasn’t caused by they escalated way too much and ruined their civilization Well, this is often the case for most worlds」(Kami)
If I aends like the dusk of the Gods (Ragnarok), and Noah’s ark I guess worlds probably change due to this cycle of destruction and restoration
「Is it against the rules for o to that world?」(Touya)
「Not really It’s not a problem in particular It would’ve been a probleet in your world, but it had already vanished After all, it’s only one of theto that “Inverse World” is not a problem by itself, which means that the Islanders will be fine if they want to travel to another world
「…Speaking of which, my Nee-sans have told me this, but will I be able to travel even to those worlds that are more distant than the ones I’ve been to if I can use “Different space Transition”?」(Touya)
「”Different space Transition”, you say… Nor cannot cross the distance between torlds That’s due to the presence of a barrier for each of the world However, “Different space Transition” is a h even to those barriers and travel across worlds 」(Ka to my former world is…」(Touya)
「It’s possible Still, you better give up on that idea You’re an existence which has already died on that side There’s no such thing as human resurrection in that world However, it will likewise be impossible for soh…」(Kami)
It would likely cause panic once the huain Returning tobut trouble to the inhabitants there Perhaps itin someone’s dreaitimate Gods if you can already use “Different space Transition” I’ve already told you this before, but I believe that it’s better for you not to immediately join the ranks of the Gods — it’ll happen no h currently, it’s ray area」(Ka restricted by the lis in which I, who’s a half-baked God, can do because of that peculiarity It’s exactly as what Karay area for a little while longer is better in one way or another
If I ht do so “analysis”, so she ht even be able to build the same artifact in Brunhild if she used “Workshop”
I ponder on these matters as I drink the tea offered by Kaic power for personal use, you say… Well, it’s not like I can’t ht, I suppose I’ll ate It’s basically the saina)
「Say, you’ve already planned on building another diiven, isn’t it? It’s annoying to borrow the invention of another person, but it ina)
Apparently, it’s possible to finish another diical strength of the “Workshop” Still, it’s way too fast… Well, it’s not as if the construction of the theory and the structure was done fro duplicated if I a that will consume a lot of time
Well, I’ve already decided to entrust thatat the report I’ve seen lying on top of the office table
It’s a report about the appearance of a new “Soul Eater” Strictly speaking, the report talks about the appearance of “Crystal Skeletons whose souls have been eaten” This time, they have appeared in a port city in Reefreez
The city is said to be a so-called coo every day When talking about ht ones and the not so upright ones in the fold In the case of this city, the number of honest ones was, apparently, on the s in desires since it was under the control, for better or worse, by those not so upright merchants
I can’t indiscriovernment of Reefreez is bad After all, it’s because of those people’s greed that becay for this country and what made it wealthy
However, it just reed that et at that time
I can practically deduce that the “Soul Eater” is being drawn by the “Negative Emotions” located closest to the place it would appear fro that it actually ai
That would make the place of its appearance coets attacked by that “thing” will be able to get in contact with me before it’s ruined
These days, there hasn’t been any grand invasionthe current situation quite ominous…
As I think about that matter, I receive a call onhappened on the side of the guild?
「Yes, hello」(Touya)
『Your Majesty! It’s the “Soul Eater”, it has appeared in Chanyun, a city in the southern part of Yuuron!』(Rerisha)
「What did you say?!」(Touya)
The people from the Rodomea branch had apparently encountered these apparitions after the guild associates went to Chanyun to negotiate the establishuild I a on their part
In any case, I cannot let it escape I open therequested for the professor to relay the news to everyone, I then transfer to the site of the former capital of Yuuron
Fro around in mountains of rubble, I i at Chanyun
I finally arrive at the skies above Chanyun after continuing to fly with all my power for about five minutes
Apart fros and red–tiled roofs, I turn my eyes toward the people collapsed auish A crystallization that looks like s all over their completely dried-up bodies
Upon my confirmation of the dead bodies with “God Eye”, I have found out that their souls have definitely been eaten There’s no mistake here This is the work of the “Soul Eater”
「Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!」
A startled-like shriek resounds fro death
I then run over to the source of that screa at the neck of afroic beast, which somehow has the appearance of both a wolf and a lion and it possesses a fur of iold
「Is that an evil God?」(Touya)
Its stature is about fourbloody-red eyes at old looks hard and projects an o about a wicked atmosphere
This fellow — should I call it an evil Godly beast? — lets thein its mouth fall upfront and jumps up on top of a roof The wound on the man’s neck closes in an instant while his body dries up completely A crystal flower then blooms from the wound
「Looks like there is nofrom the rooftop above, the evil Godly beast leaps towardBrynhildr in Blade Mode, which I have taken out froe], as we pass each other A metallic-like sound reverberates
「It’s that hard?!」(Touya)
An ih my arm similar to when someone slashed at a metal object with a normal sword As I look at my hand, I see that the blade of Brynhildr, which is supposed to be made of crystal uess thatthat the neet God has brought out even if that God is such a neet
「I guess there’s no need to hold back then!」(Touya)
Raisingwhile, I perform “God’s authority release” My hair extends at once, and I’ a platinum radiance
「Ku-ku-ku… This divinity… The boy froolden swirl appears beside the evil Godly beast, and the one ho appeared fro old uess
「You sure seem to have a lot of free time, neet God」(Touya)
「Such iht occasion How about I have your soul captured you bastard, huh? I’m sure that your soul will o faster」(Neet God)
「So this beast is the evil God which you have created then? It looks like you’ve even incorporated the features of the frazes…」(Touya)
If that’s the case, its hardness from before must be due to the effect of the properties of the fraze crystals Magic is probably unusable against it as well That guy is the definition of troublesome
「That’s because I had the cooperation of a certain person It’s thanks to the this world or anything siuy」(Neet God)
「… Destroying the world?」(Touya)
「The world which gets destroyed by an evil God will be separated fro that’s beingthis time that I will ascend as the new God of this world Kuu-kuu-kuu, isn’t that pleasant?」(Neet God)
So he’s i that he plans to freely rule over this world after heto say…! I don’t knohether he’s just shted…
Ultiround, so the Gods are tentatively prohibited fro with it It is for that reason that heroes and saints are granted sacred treasures in order to subjugate an evil God…
