155 A means to an end. (2/2)

Hmm...looks like this is going to take a while. I'll come back after I trade the soul. Hah...mortals are truly foolish, believing everything I say.

As the overseers, why wouldn't we have the power to destroy a contract? Balancing the equilibrium was just an easy excuse to make the soul feel better.

Hmm...I guess I could have waited until the soul naturally died to harvest it, but why do I have to care for the emotions of mere mortals. I was already nice enough to make it believe that it was sacrificing itself for its friends.

This soul isn't supposed to be in this dimension anyhow, why should I care for its desires?

I transfer the soul back to its original dimension, receiving a pretty neat 'thank you' gift in return. Thank you kindly, neighbor god. I'll use the present to its utmost potential.

Ah...I should go check up on the souls friends. Time works differently here and there after all. I wonder if they destroyed themselves in guilt? That would be pretty interesting.

I thought, but the actual outcome is fairly interesting as well. It looks like after I left, the two enemies joined forces, took over the entire continent, and created a democracy of sorts. Of course, there's still some major flaws with its system, but it's better than I expected.

Huh, they've erected statues of the soul's fairy body all over the place. Looks like the soul's death was a sort of motivation for them.

Now they have a good relationship with the other two continents, bustling trading hubs, a decent economy, housing districts all over the place, and no wars.

There's only a few skirmishes here and there, caused by the leftover nobles and leaders that were previously in charge. A last ditch effort, I presume. Pathetic, but expected of mortals to not know when to give up.

Oh, it looks like I've been gone for quite a while, those sobbing mortals are all old and have their own successful successors. They...should be called children, right?

It's amazing what you can do once your given the proper motivation. Let's go test this out with some other planets! I leave the world, placing at the back of my mind as only a slightly intriguing story.
