Book of God – 19 (2/2)
When I questioned hihter
“Ahahaha, I’h plenty of the humans I’d met so far couldn’t accept it even if they noticed the possibility”
Aah, his words just verified everything
I wasn’t born in 『my old world』…
“Yeah, you’re a flesh and irl born in the 『old world』 that you call 『Earth』, and you were so that I created It’s easier to create kin who end up as divines that way, you see Incidentally, the girl that was your original is living life nor just fine”
The reason I was naked last time was because I was literally “naked as the day I was born” It wasn’t that I was taken there, but that I was born there, so of course I had no clothes
“In other words, even if I went to my 『old world』 …or rather, even if I went to Earth…”
“There wouldn’t be anywhere that you belonged, and nobody would be waiting for you either”
My original on Earth was already there, so of course Even if I went there, at best I’d just be treated as a doppelganger
“If I hadn’t noticed and chose to 『teleport to Earth』, ould you have done?”
“I wouldn’t have cared, and would’ve 『teleported you to Earth』 just as you wanted”
That was so close… I alot trapped by an option that would turn out terribly no matter what
“Why did you try and trap me like that?”
I asked the Evil God as I glared at hilared at hientle breeze to him
“Guess you could call it the final test before your reward”
“Reward…”
Is that thing still valid? But since I only just avoided that nasty trap, I can’t help but look at him with suspicious eyes
“No, no, this time I’m serious”
His level of credibility was already zero, but for now I decided to hear hi, so I prompted him to continue
“Having said that though, the reward is the sah”
What I heard earlier was “change me back to huone, then did heto a human”?
“Of course, it’s a reward so I won’t force you I’ll give you the choice, so you can choose whatever you want”
Certainly, it was a reorth considering
If I said that I didn’t want to spend tiether with everyone as a human, then it would be a lie
But because of what happened just now, I couldn’t just simply nod either
“Doesn’t it have any demerits?”
Leaving aside differences in interpretation aside, if I asked him questions he would answer, and up until now he had never lied before I proactively questioned hi out of place in order to pick the better option
“Demerits? Let’s see… Mn?”
The Evil God looked like he was thinking, but he seeaze to my side I was lured by his reaction too, so I turned to face that way but in the darkness I didn’t see anyt… no, wait, just as I noticed a streak of light running vertically, a strong light suddenly shone in from there
And when I did, in the very next instant, a bea past me far into the distance
“Anri! Are you all right!?”
“I thought I was going to die…”
Where the line of light used to be was a hole froed in with sword in hand Honestly, I don’t even knoould have happened to me if I hadn’t evaded it
“Ain’t ya doin’ just fine?”
“I alot bloay”
It’s true that I don’t have a single scratch though
I replied to Anbaal who appeared next, but it see about
“Anri-saht!?”
“Are you okay!? …!?”
“Hii!?”
Next, Tena, Leonora, and Lili jumped into that dark space as well, but the moment they met eyes with the Evil God, Leonora ieza, and Lili hide behind Tena and clung to her But well, if they can’t deal with my eyes, then it can’t be helped that they can’t deal with his
“Though I am late, I hastened to your side Please command me as you will”
Last to appear was I between the Evil God and I His scythe was already in hand, and he was prepared for battle
imouto
imouto
It sees were basically over already
“Although you were pretty close, to think that you even chased her in here”
For now I calmed everybody down, and we sat around a table the Evil God prepared to continue the conversation
After explaining what happened so far to everyone, the Evil God let out that line
“We had Anri’s kin Tena, so ere able to find this place by following the master-servant bond After that was just a bet on whether or not we could open a hole though”
“I handed my power over to that overly serious woot in here”
I’lad that they did that much to reachthe link meant that I was at the other end of the hole
“Leaving her friend and kin over there aside, to think that you tould go that far to save her”
“Of course It would be troubling for us without her”
“We finally got a person to push- …to entrust the work to after all If she suddenly disappeared, we’d be troubled, yanno”
When they juh that wasn’t the only reason, let’s leave that all aside I’m a little shy
“About the thing earlier, if I turn back into a hu to happen to Tena and him as my kin?”
Tena turned into ave her the divine protection, but when I turned into a divine she turned into an apostle with me
Both of thee into a divine In that case, ould happen if I returned to being a human?
“Your kin will end up choosing either the 『Divine You』 or the 『Human You』 If they picked the 『Divine You』, they stay as they are If they pick the 『Human you』, they’ll probably return to from before you became a divine”
“If I choose the 『Human Me』, will I lose my connection with the 『Divine Me』? What about the other way around?”
“They won’t be directly related, but it won’t change the fact that the 『Human You』 is a part of the 『Divine You』 Once your life as a human ends, your soul will unify with the 『Divine You』 In that sense, no matter which you pick, there won’t be much of a difference in a hundred years”
In other words, it’s the difference bethether we continue to live as divine and apostle, or whether we live a lifetime as a human first?
Frolance there didn’t seem to be any demerits, but since he had zero credibility, I decided to ask the observers
“Was everything he said true, Sophia?”
“I have never seen a precedent, but I believe the theory is correct Nor a human from a divine would be impossible, but as somebody who turned into a divine from a human, and who still retains their flesh body, you are an exception If I were to add another comment, the 『Divine You』 separated from the 『Human You』 would become a purer existence as a divine We don’t understand kin as being a status sy a purer kin should be more valuable for him”
Hearing that and turning to the Evil God, he immediately averted his eyes
It see the merits for himself, but if it was just that uess it didn’t matter?
“If I choose to return to being a human, ill you two do?”
“I…”
I asked Tena and Imperial Death Tena seemed at a loss as to how to reply I wanted to live with her, but I thought that it was so she should decide on herself
“I think I really will choose the 『Human Anri-sa her with her everyday needs after all”
“I see What about you?”
After hearing Tena’s reply, I turned to Imperial Death next
“I shall serve the 『Anri-sain with, I feel it would be better than serving by the side of the 『Anri-sama as a Human』”
He replied unwaveringly To begin with, he was somebody orshi+pped the Evil God, so it was probably an obvious choice
imouto
imouto
imouto
“Now then, guess that’s settled It’s about to ti to live as a 『God』, or as a 『Human』?”
After hearing the wishes of my kin, I was asked for an answer by the Evil God
“I…”
Next up, the final chapter
Also, it will not be aThere is only one route
TL: Odd God, or 『変神』 is read as ‘henjin’ – it sounds exactly the same as for the word 変人 (weirdo), so it’s basically the sa her a weirdo
