It was, an infinite darkness.

No matter how far one went, there was no end

No matter how long one waited, there was no dawn.

There was one spot, where there was light.

A throne that floated within the darkness──Only there.

A dark clump that had the shape of a person sat on that throne.

It’s shining red eyes, they asserted that it wasn’t just some darkness or a type of shadow.

Then again, it wasn’t like that was its true form.

But, it wasn’t like it had a true form.

It became like this after abdicating its right and responsibility to establish its form. That was all.

That thing that had abdicated even its name……It was something called the “Demon God”.

Demon God.

The summit of all demons.

The Creator of all demons.

The enemy of all good.

The enemy of all evil.

The tolerator of all good.

The tolerator of all evil.

The one who affirms all contradictions.

The one who transcends all logic.

In this place where even chaos is seen as well-reasoned, the Demon God looked down upon the thing that was before its eyes.

「Haa……」

A listless face befitting of that little girl appearance.

A sigh befitting of that little girl appearance.

From atop the oversized chair, the Demon God effortlessly tumbled down.

Staying collapsed on the floor just like that, she rolled forward. She rolled back.

When she bumped into the chair and stopped, the Demon God breathed a sigh once more.

「You are surprisingly doing your best. I can’t tell if your true nature is that you’re diligent or if you’re prone to worrying……」

Prone to worrying.

What the Demon God was referring to was Vermudol.

「Gramfia was an idiot that didn’t think about consequences, but you yourself are too prone to worrying.」

This was something that Vermudol did not know, but the Human side’s Hero was already born.

However, for the time being, he has not awakened as the Hero. It was that sort of situation.

Most likely, at the time the people would try to perform the ceremony for the Hero Summoning, the Goddess Philia intended on informing them of the Hero’s existence.

Gods occasionally had the tendency to prefer having things done with that sort of ceremony.

For right now, that hadn’t happened due to Vermudol’s frantic maneuvering to avoid war──that is probably how things were.

With this sort of meaning, Vermudol’s scheming could be said to be a success.

「But, you know, Vermudol. You’re surprisingly stupid too, aren’t you?」

When the Demon God caressed the black floor with her hand, that part of the darkness became transparent as if it were peeling off.

What was displayed beyond that, was a black haired man──It was a scene of Vermudol reading a book.

After seeing that figure and distorting her face looking delighted, the Demon God muttered.

「Even though there isn’t any remains of the you from when you were Human no matter where you search. You’re stiiill intending on being a

former Human

.」

That’s right, the
