476 Final Battle (2/2)

The situation indeed seemed quite well now. If it wasn't for the fact that it would be inappropriate, I would even be floating on cloud nine while singing right now. Suddenly, I felt that since it was rare for the situation to be so good, I could afford to act a little arrogantly.

”The war is about to end, and I'm about to realize my dream that I've had for so long. I am now undefeatable, hahaha! After this war is finally over, I can finally go home and get married! Cough cough, don't look at me so strangely, I'm just telling a joke. Don't you think it's funny?”

I even made three successive death flag comments, yet nobody even laughed! This truly made me feel awkward.

”…I suddenly sense a dangerous evil intention from your words. Is this a new method of cursing? Goosebumps have appeared all over me. It would seem that it's quite effective.”

Even though I was clearly telling a joke, everyone was taking me seriously and suspecting what I meant. How unacceptable. Should I say that everyone from this non-Earth world was too stupid to get a joke?

”Go home and get married? Get married to whom?”

Even though things were now almost over, Elisa still sent over her own dissatisfied comment and inquiry while in the middle of concentrating on her own self-evolution. Still, this reminded me that I needed to hurry and send Elisa to the Land of Spring. Otherwise, it would be too late.

”Alright then, at least I have my System… Astrya, you know that this joke of mine isn't a bad joke at all!”

It would seem that I found yet another reason to keep Astrya around—for the sake of my joyful daily life! How could I possibly allow myself to lose such a wonderful commenter who understood my jokes from Earth?

[…Yep, your humor is the same as it always has been, unsalvageable. You're also just as much of a jinxer as you always were. Why don't you take another look at Ah Dang's combat situation? Things have changed there again. I think I should give you the custom title of 'Idiot that deserves to die because he can't keep his mouth shut.' This title will increase the success rate of you jinxing yourself with your own comments. Would you like that?]

”What?”

I concentrated on Ah Dang's Gluttons' Inferno and saw something inconceivable. The two tremendous beasts that should have been tearing at each other had completely vanished. All that remained was a gigantic demon egg which was in the process of hatching.

I then checked my incarnation's memories and witnessed an inconceivable scene.

Just one minute ago, Gaar the Murky Nightmare, a low-intelligence lifeform whose very name was nothing more than onomatopoeia, suddenly cast a superbly complex restraint magic formation which successfully restrained Ah Dang.

Then, Gaar's tremendous physical body suddenly opened up to reveal a devilishly beautiful female face hidden within. This female actually devoured Ah Dang in one gulp, then this entity transformed into a demon egg that was filled with the essence of the Chaos Abyss.

This demon egg was enormous. Although it was an egg, it wasn't round in any way at all. It looked more like countless chunks of meat put together. The most eye-catching part was how it kept glowing an abnormal green that seemed like a type of magical rune. Some of these runes even distorted into what looked like painfully howling faces, which was really discomforting to look at.

According to the information I had on Gaar, this demon lived solely to devour, and his only purpose in life was to continuously eat and evolve. His very existence was the complete definition of what Chaos represented. Yet, since he lacked any intelligence at all, he didn't have a demon noble title, and was even treated as a natural calamity within the Chaos Abyss itself. The will of the Chaos Abyss… no, that Cynthia had been able to control Gaar and send him here to attack us was already quite astonishing.

I could understand that perhaps Gaar had always concealed his true strength, yet the demon egg's constantly increasing energy level gave me a tremendous sense of danger. And, there was a familiar instinctive fear that I felt like I had experienced before. And even without my instincts, just its abnormal appearance alone made it obvious that this demon egg couldn't be ignored.

”What's with Gaar? Why did he suddenly transform into an egg?”

I asked this in a heavy tone, yet Karwenz chuckled to hear this.

”Gaar? You've asked the right person. Only I and Cynthia know about his true identity. Even the very name Gaar is nothing more than a joke. Gaar is actually nothing more than an amalgamation of countless corpses and souls from the Chaos Abyss. He doesn't even have a sense of self, so how could he possibly actually have a name?”

”No sense of self? Then how did he even come here? Cynthia is capable of controlling a hunk of flesh that doesn't even have its own sense of self? Isn't that the equivalent of using her own physical body… No, it can't be!”

Yet, Karwenz had an expression that said my guess was right on the mark.

”Ha, indeed. Cynthia's true body is still in hibernation and can't move, so of course she'll try to think of a method to prepare a backup physical body. But, you don't need to worry too much, because Gaar is nothing more than a failed experiment. Gaar probably needs at least ten more Holy Wars of feasting on souls before he evolves into an existence capable of containing Cynthia's divine soul. She already gave up on him long ago. But now, she's basically forcefully activating him without even her divine soul within it. Cynthia won't be able to utilize her true full powers, and Gaar's physical body will collapse before long…”

”Karwenz! You set another pitfall for me!”

At this moment, I understood everything. Since Cynthia knew that she was about to die here, of course she would try everything she possibly could to fight back and resist. Activating her backup physical body to come and save her soul would be a certainty.

Karwenz absolutely knew that this would happen, yet he didn't tell me about it. Instead, he casually cooked fish soup here, which meant that he was obviously intending on waiting for that damned hunk of meat to be activated by Cynthia and drag us into another battle.

I had happily wanted Karwenz to become my fighter, yet now he had fooled me into becoming his fighter. Naturally, this made me rather displeased and ruined my mood.

”It's just what you were trying to do with me. Ha, I'm actually quite happy that I get to have one final battle together with you as allies before we start fighting.”

Yet Karwenz was laughing quite happily, as if he was quite proud of himself for having set this pitfall for me. But, I felt that he was even happier that he now had a proper opponent that he could vent on.

But right now, I didn't want to waste any more time with him. I opened up a teleportation portal and instantly kicked him into it.

My Wumianzhe Roland physical body had now been regenerated to the point where I could barely manage to use it. I sent over all the combat strength I possibly could as I didn't have any idiotic tendencies to allow my enemy to finish their transformation without interruptions like anime villains would.
