Chapter 121 (1/2)

As the ‘thing’ gained consciousness, it fell into a state of panic

It didn’t know its own state, where it was, or even what it was

Its thoughts were a jumbled mess of different pronouns

In this chaotic state, it tried to move, but its body wouldn’t move the way it wanted it to

What is this? What is this? What happened? Why?”

With this chaos turning into total confusion, the ‘thing’ desperately tried to ed to touch so silver

When the ‘thing’ touched this object, it felt strangely calm, content and happy

That’s right, I, I, I, grr… don’t care

Within that happiness, the ‘thing’ abandoned the thought of analyzing itself It also abandoned the thought of unification and separation

The ‘thing’ realized that its current state was normal for it

More i’ wanted to move quickly

“Ooohhh…”

Because this was the place that the ‘thing’ had dreamed of It was the place that it had dreamed of and desired more than any paradise

Quickly, I must be at his side!

Driven by this ’ that had been named Lump-of-flesh-chan floated into the air, and in the next instant, it vanished

“Vandalieu, wake up It’s still night, but there’s a visitor”

Vandalieu awoke to the voice of his ment

“A visitor?”

Vandalieu could hardly be described as an ordinary boy, but even so, physically speaking, he was a nine-year-old child Due to this fact, he slept long hours during times of peace

Everyone knows this, so there shouldn’t be anyone visiting ency, Vandalieu thought in confusion as he looked around And then he saw the ‘visitor’ that Darcia had mentioned, and froze

That ‘thing’ had the most bizarre appearance that Vandalieu had ever seen in any of his lives

The ‘thing’ was floating in the middle of the air, and it had an overall spherical shape

But it was made of countless human limbs, torsos and heads twisted around each other to for a sphere; it had an entirely abnormal appearance

It was more flesh-colored than pink, and it didn’t appear to have skin, hair or even eyes

Overall, there wereparts, but there were also so parts in a few places

If it were to be given a description, so like ‘a sphere, threeand coht have fit

If this royal castle hadn’t been built for the titan race, whose hts of up to three

“Nice to ’s’ numerous, eyeless faces that consisted of only outlines “Excuse me, but ould you be?”

He had been surprised at first, but he had quickly becorew nu’ even rese ht that compared to Merrebeveil, who consisted of bundles of tentacles for’s’ appearance wasn’t all too surprising

“OOOOHHHH!”

The ‘thing,’ still floating in the air, froze for a moment and then tear-likeexpressions of grief

And then it expressed its e its heads with its nu its torsos

It had apparently been hurt by Vandalieu’s words

“Vandalieu, I’m not sure if I should call it a child or children, but they seem to love you,” said Darcia “Just now, it said, ‘we finally met him’”

“Did it say that?”

“Mmm, it just said, ‘oooh,’ but that’s what it felt like”

“I see”

Vandalieu believed Darcia’s unreliable translation that was based on nothing more than what she felt It was his mother’s words, after all

And he had suspected what the origins of the ‘thing’ e for Darcia to be able to understand its feelings

“Its body looks like Lump-of-flesh-chan, but what’s inside?” Vandalieu wondered “Did it grow so? Hmm, I don’t know It does look like a soul has firh”

Lump-of-flesh-chan, the failed product that Vandalieu had created while trying to use Vida’s relic, the resurrection device, to create a body for Darcia So’ before Vandalieu’s eyes

Considering that, perhaps this ‘thing’ could be considered to be so like Darcia’s identical twin

However, the question hat had inhabited it?

“Oooohh… Aaaahhh…”

The soul residing in the ‘thing’ that was tre sorrowfully Because Luin with, it was difficult to iine that one had been spontaneously created inside it

With that being the case, Vandalieu considered the possibility of the spirits floating about nearby entering it on their own, but that didn’t seem to be the case, either The number of spirits around hadn’t decreased, and if that was possible, it should have happened much sooner Lump-of-flesh-chan had been around for over a year

So then, what is it? Vandalieu wondered

“Bad boy!” Darcia said, interrupting his thoughts “You can’t just irl cry and then leave her alone!”

Vandalieu was being scolded for leaving Lus

Vandalieu did feel some doubt as to whether Luirl However, it was a fact that he had hurt so for him and then left them alone

I suppose I can analyze it later

Vandalieu stepped down fro so so callous I didn’t intend to make you sad Would you like to be my friend?”

Vandalieu apologized earnestly and offered out his hand The ‘thing’ froze in the air for a noring Vandalieu’s hand and wrapping around him to embrace him

Froht have appeared that it intended to prey on him

“AAAAHH, UWAAAAHH,” it groaned

“I’lad you made up,” said Darcia

The ‘thing’ clearly had no hostile intentions Even Vandalieu, as being embraced, didn’t have any discomfort

Overall, it’s soft and squishy, and some places feel muscular, and its body temperature is a little low?

Rodcorte stared at his minorly-injured arm in disbelief

His hand was supposed to be holding the soul of the ‘Gazer’ Minuhth Guidance, which he had intended to use as hostages against Vandalieu

But his acquisition of these souls had been obstructed by the God of Origin, as well as the Gods of Lambda – Zuruwarn, the God of space and creation, and Ricklent, the genie of tiic

The injuries that Rodcorte had received from Zuruere minor They were so s

However, Rodcorte had never been attacked by another God before until now Since he ruled over reincarnation, far away from every world, he had never becos that were hostile towards Gods

Because of this, Rodcorte had no resistance at all when it came to pain That hy he had faltered and allowed the souls of the ‘Gazer’ and the others to get away, but the cause of Rodcorte’s current discomposure was not the shock of his failure

“Why are Zuruwarn, Ricklent and the God of Origin interfering withas Vandalieu’s allies?”

Zuruwarn and Ricklent ht have reacted with, “You really don’t knohy?!” if they heard Rodcorte, but Rodcorte was truly surprised

In hiswithin his own do his work

The exception hen he had sent reincarnated individuals froin, and Vandalieu hiht that Zuruould have no reason to become Vandalieu’s ally

“But then, what is thewith me? It is also likely that Zuruas the one who had in, like the God of Earth, is a collective God that is branched out into countless divine beings There is no way that it would le purpose unless the existence of its world hung in the balance”

In the past, it had been Zuruho had negotiated with the God of the foreign world of Earth when he su it

TLN: Reminder that italicized Earth is the world that the champions (Bellwood, Zakkart, etc) came from, not the Earth where everyone was reincarnated from

But even with this experience, it couldn’t have been siotiations when he still hadn’t recovered froainst the De

With that being the case, thatfor a considerable aotiating for years at least

“Just when did Zuruwarn and the other Gods of Lambda become aware of Vandalieu’s existence? No,hostility towards me?”

Rodcorte had thought that all of the Gods of La other than Alda, the God of law and fate It had been unexpected for these Gods to be active, even if it was only two of the hostility towards him had been even more unexpected

After all, showing hostility towards Rodcorte would surely yield no benefits for them

Unlike the De Lambda, and didn’t desire its destruction In fact, he wanted the world to develop In that regard, Rodcorte could even be considered an ally to the Gods of Lambda, in the broadest sense of the word

In fact, he had sent reincarnated individuals there for the purpose of sti the world’s development

The only thing that could be achieved by defeating Rodcorte was a suspension of the function of the circle of transoverned the transportation of the souls of Lambda’s people

If that happened, Lambda would be overrun by monsters, or become a world where only the races created by Vida would live

Could that be what the Gods of Lambda were after?

“I see Zuruwarn and the others have chosen the circle of transration syste the the souls of even humans, Elves and Dwarves to Vida’s system!”

Rodcorte hadn’t expected any of the prominent Gods who had sided with Vida to ally themselves with Vandalieu except for perhaps Zantark, who had lost his sanity after fusing with an evil God He felt surprised by his own conclusion, but at the same time, he was convinced This was certainly plausible

And then he felt a strong sense of danger If the world of Laration system, and his own system lost the foundation upon which it was based, Rodcorte would lose one of the sources of his power

That wasn’t where the problems stopped If Vida was revived and she perfected her circle of transration systein how to recreate circle of transration systems

Rodcorte didn’t know if this was how Zuruwarn had negotiated with the God of Origin, but considering the effort that it had put into its actions, it was certain that the God of Origin had its e enough, it would likely change its world’s circle of transration system
