Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Pranav
“The power of Law? Arbiters and judges? I never expected that this would turn into reality one day”
The scene froo replayed itself as a neer of Order joined the Order Faction This tiotten loser in the Underground rose to becohout the world
Well, it would be an exaggeration to say ‘throughout the world’ Only powerful individuals and Gods would have access to such secret information In their eyes, the creator of Laas the saht from the past They assumed that Roland would be able to ascend to Godhood whenever he wanted
Considering how the Child of Nature (a currently dead Order Main God, whose two children were the Goddesses of Joy and Laughter), Earth Mother, God of Holy Light and other creators of neers of Order had become Main Gods, this insane lich, who had acted ever so ridiculously in the Underground, became viewed as a new Main God candidate by the Gods No—it was a definite that he’d become a Main God in the future
There were only seven Main God-level existences in the entire Order Faction to begin with It was an unparalleled status, the highest possible, and was right under the Creator Goddess herself To becohest glory, and a path to eternity
The Chaos Main Gods had to worry about dying because of their infighting, but the Order Main Gods typically didn’t have such trouble as long they followed the few orders of the Source of Order Of course, their Godhood also caratulations When do you intend to ascend to Godhood? Perhaps we’ll beco for you to ascend to Godhood will be the next Holy War…”
Ayer still didn’t knohy Roland understood so much about the Gods’ secrets But Roland was one of his few friends, and he visited hiratulations as well as an offer of a concrete alliance
“What? Ascend to Godhood? Isn’t that going to be on the day we begin our grand sche Roland place extra erand scheotten about as it had sounded too wild and insane at the tiain
“Are you certain? With my assistance and the power of Law you created, you should be able to beco between beco, eternal Order Main God and to start that al to choose the latter over the former?”
Even if the Creator Goddess created a neorld with new residents after the destruction of the world, even if all hest of all existences Mortals viewed the Main Gods themselves as the representation of eternity!
Any other person would view Roland as an utterly insane, crazywith a truly pitiful chance of success?
Yet Ayer could still recall how Roland had stared at him as if he was an idiot after he asked that question
“Main God? So what? Is there anyto ‘eternity’ as an automated zombie?”
Roland dismissed the status of a Main God and clailess, like an automated zo such an insane declaration After soe
Without a doubt, the lich was blasphe of existence But as Ayer’s anger boiled, he thought back to his past memories, to his tribe who had become devils in hell’s Abyss, to this joke of a Holy War that forever had no end, to the mortals that danced like puppets in the palms of the Gods, and, of course, to how souls would forever end up harvested like wheat
“The Gods treatmore than a joke or a play to be enjoyed Since there’s so the Gods, wouldn’t thatmore than puppets controlled by the Sources of Order and Chaos theher, they can’t even control their own fates Isn’t their pride a joke, then? This type of eternity is worth even less than mortals’ lives that fade ever so quickly”
Ayer’s anger vanished after he perceived how the lich before hih the truth and fate evenwhile, Ayer finally asked a question:
“Are you serious?”
“Hey—hey—Boss Ayer, I’ve always been serious Don’t tell me you want to back out at such a tioal!!”
The lich skull’s garish smile was as hideous to behold as always But only now did Ayer notice that concealed beneath this seeh it all
Roland ell aware that Ayer had always treated his plan as nothing more than a joke Still, he had worked his hardest in secret and made the required preparations to turn this “joke plan” nobody believed into a reality
When the light of Law illuminated the entire world, the Order Gods waited for their new ally to ascend to Godhood However, the fortunate individual who created the power of Law unexpectedly went silent A long time passed without the God of Law’s ascension to Main Godhood, and they couldn’t help gossip a flower”
“A tattered soul is insufficient to ascend to venerated Godhood”
“Perhaps this new Divine Concept will be taken advantage of by some junior in the future Hahaha! Could it be that this fellow is the charitable type?”
Not only the True Gods, but even the other undying individuals and Follower Gods had begun to laugh at this lich who had been unable to ascend to Godhood Yet only Ayer are that the real reason Roland didn’t personally ascend to Godhood was because he was unsatisfied with his newly-born power of Law
“No—no—no—the current power of Law is still too siless to only represent punishenerosity towards the kind and innocent is what’sto the Church of Law’s teachings: ‘So your every action from up above All crimes will receive the punish for you Not a single person will be exempt from this’
“Hs so that different levels apply for different people, then? Divine job class members of the Church of Law and all God of Law believers will have to follow the strictest requirements of Law All other mortals will only have to follow the most basic restrictions Yep, in order to convince more people, let’s call them Divine Laws
“There’s no Heaven or hell, you say? Hehehehe—isn’t that the next part of our plan?”
Full of patience, Roland spenthis grand sches of his Church of Law The official teachings of the Church of Law had already underwent several hundred inally, the power of Law had been too harsh and inflexible Under the guidance of its creator, it became a lot more moderate
“Law itself shouldn’t have a will of its own It’s but a uideline all people should abide by Only those who cross the line will be punished”
To the weak, Laould provide salvation and protection while to those who co heartless punishht, which viewed undead, demons, and other creatures of Chaos with natural enly didn’t have any natural enemies whatsoever
Later, when Law became a different power based on the people with different beliefs ielded it, Ayer began to wonder if Roland was someone insane who had dual personalities
But Roland’s century spent on polishi+ng the power of Law didn’t go to waste The power of Law becaht Law’s silver glow reseht and exuded an aura of calmness, yet if someone broke the Law, it would instantly sharpen to reseuillotine blade
“…Perhaps this newly-born power of Law and its boundaries will finally be able to stop the Chaos and Order Factions”
Perhaps it was Roland’s stubbornness that finally moved him Or perhaps the most ancient Death God had accumulated a sufficient amount of dissatisfaction Only when Ayer witnessed the constant improvements to the power of Law did he finally rand scheme And at this point in tirand sche
“Yeah, there are too many unpredictable factors It’s i fro upon Rather than doing nothing, this at least has a slight possibility”
Roland was quite honest in ad this He could only be honest, after all, as it was evident for anyone asn’t an idiot Not a single individual would be willing to board a shi+p destined to sink There was no need for Roland to make empty pros aren’t hopeless anyeddon, where all the souls in the mortal plane would be harvested in the battle between Gods that would destroy the world, this was the single path that could be found where no paths previously existed
During Roland’s long, long search for ways to improve his path, more and eddon despite the fact that his shi+p seemed like it would sink at any moment
Roland never hid from anyone just how pitifully low the chances of success for his plan would be However, Ada the truth frole Northlands undead knight off his shi+p It was also unknohen such a large group of gentlemen bastards had infiltrated the shi+p, and, the very beginning, the Church of Law itself had been an integral part of the shi+p
The residents of Sulfur Mountain City boarded Roland’s round Alliance boarded his shi+p The Northlands boarded his shi+p The Mage Country was sca his shi+p The wood spirits boarded his shi+p right from when they were born Even the typically neutral fairies used concrete actions to show that they supported Law over Order Faction’s Holy Light
Ile-handedly being run by Roland More and more companions took part in his plan of their own volitions Some had ideals of justice and kindness, some took part for their own benefit, and some simply wanted to survive this Holy War But no matter the reason, they all boarded Roland’s shi+p and becath
As tiether under Roland’s faction This alhtly easier to walk down Of course, compared to the factions of Chaos and Order and their total two-party system monopoly on the world, this new “neutral” faction’s overall power still wasn’t much
Could it be that Chaos and Order never noticed anything? Chaos evidently had much information about them, and it was also quite obvious that Roland and Ayer’s faction had a bad relationshi+p with the God of Holy Light despite appearing to belong to the Order Faction on the surface It wasn’t that either faction didn’t notice—it was that both major factions didn’t care Order and Chaos forever viewed each other as the biggest threat and …
