Chapter 121 (2/2)
Such in
For Rodcorte, who had no believers and was not known to any people in any world, his circle of trans feorlds was a matter of life and death
If more and more worlds chose Vida’s circle of reincarnation system, he wouldn’t even be able to turn into a specter, fairy or demon like other fallen Gods; he would simply vanish like mist
One or torlds less wouldn’t cause any problems He would simply need to find newly-born worlds and obtain the authority to govern the circles of transration for those worlds However, worlds were not born with great frequency, and there was no guarantee that he would be able to obtain authority over their circles of transration
“Before that happens, I must kill Vandalieu at all costs!” Rodcorte concluded
“… No, why is that the only conclusion you can coid,” said a voice from below
Rodcorte looked down to see the ‘Calculation’ Machida Aran and the ‘Inspector’ shi+mada Izumi, who had become his familiar spirits, and the ‘Noah’ Mao Smith nearby as well
“If it were ize and ask hiration systein and Lambda,” said Izumi
“If you can’t cut your losses, things will progress to a point of no return I agree with these two,” said Mao
There was the other dozen or so reincarnated individuals who had recently died as well They had already been inforh the ‘instant information transmission’ method
“You… since you are my familiar spirits, my ruin will be your own ruin as well,” Rodcorte said, wishi+ng that his servants would at least share soer that he felt
Izuh half-closed eyes
Having no other choice, Rodcorte looked around at the other reincarnated individuals, including Mao “… Quite a lot of you have died all at once,” he remarked
This caused the reincarnated individuals to either react with frowns like Tendou and Kouya, or avert their eyes aardly like Murakaroup
They hadn’t died because they’d wanted to, but it seemed that they didn’t want to protest and point this out to Rodcorte, the one who had granted them power and a new life
“And it seely deeply hostile towards each other Even though your lives were but a tutorial before the real thing…” Rodcorte murmured
It seenored by the reincarnated individuals
“You should have told us that first!” shouted the ‘Chronos’ Murakami Junpei
“That’s right! If we knew that so afterwards, ouldn’t have done such reckless things!” protested the ‘Venus’ Tsuchiya Kanako
Several others looked at those tith suspicious eyes, as if doubting their words, but they didn’t appear to be fazed by this
It seeh individuals
“I agree,” said the ‘Mage Masher’ Mina with Murakao
Since they had no physical bodies, punching each other caused no effect other than a vague sense of pain, so it seemed that he had been unable to put up with Murakami
… Despite the fact that he had been advocating for his coroup died
“Life and death are ih to think that we could be reincarnated a second time just because it happened once It was correct for us to think that we had only one life left, and desperately do our best to live it… even if what these guys were ai in Murakami and Kanako’s direction
The ‘Oracle’ Endou Kouya hadexperience to prepare for the next world I can’t say that there are none who live with that purpose But we’re not like that We were desperate to achieve the drea the case, it was only natural that our opinions would oppose each other and ould go our separate ways fro I realized now that our second lives are over, though”
In other words, it seemed that Kouya wanted to say that the reincarnated individuals had been desperate to make the most of their second chance because they had never been told that their tiin was a tutorial
“Hmm…”
Hearing these words, Rodcorte realized that it ht have been a mistake to keep quiet about the fact that they had a third life ahead of them
The truth was that people being reincarnated with the memories and personalities of their previous lives intact was not common at all At the very least, this was the only time that Rodcorte had carried it out
There were probably cases in which individuals were reincarnated with the memories and personalities of their previous lives due to errors and bugs in soration systems, but this was impossible in Rodcorte’s systereat dae to Lambda’s system, but such reincarnations had not occurred as of yet
With that being the case, these individuals could not be bla their second lives in a desperate fashi+on
Still, you all caround, and many of you were acquaintances who studied at the saht, but even he would not say this out loud
He was a God who governed circles of transration He knew that humans were creatures that forly quickly, but they were also creatures that would betray and kill each other for astonishi+ngly stupid reasons
And one of the reasons he had gone out of his way to reincarnate a hundred and one people at once was so that there would be no problems if ten or twenty percent of them were to be killed at each other’s hands, or if some, like Kaidou Kanata, became absorbed in their oer and disposed of other reincarnated individuals and other people living in their world
However, it was far past the time to tell the reincarnated individuals that they had a third chance
“Well then, do you think it would be better if I were to tell the rest of them now that they have a third life?” Rodcorte asked, already knowing the answer
It was the ‘Chronos’ Murakas would become even worse if you were to tell them,” he said
“What are you talking about, you shi+tty teacher? Everything turned out like this because nobody knew that we have a third life ahead of us,” said Asagi
“I don’tcalled shi+tty, but stop it with the ‘teacher,’ you i,” Murakami retorted “What you say is true; if we’d known that we had a third life ahead, ouldn’t have betrayed you and made you our enemies for our third lives But that only applies if we’d known fro”
“Huh? Be clearer”
“… Sensei is saying that it’s too late,” said the ‘Marionette’ Inui Haji his knees “It’s true that if the Bravers were to be told now that there is a third life, they would try to live with nity and justice There wouldn’t be any more like me and Kanata If they knew that they would be reincarnated one more time and that they would be questioned after their deaths by Inspector-sael, they wouldn’t be able to do any bad things unless they’d totally given up on themselves”
If they did anything bad in life, rather than being sent to hell by a God, they would be killed by the waiting reincarnated individuals the moment they were reborn No, perhaps they would be reincarnated as livestock or work-horses with the memories and personalities of their previous lives intact
Being reincarnated as livestock with a hu sent to hell
In fact, a certain reincarnated individual’s parent on Earth had apparently been reincarnated as a tortoise, so such a punishment was certainly possible
“But if we told Rikudou Akira and those cooperating with him, do you think they’d stop now?” Hajis from the shadows, brainwashed the Metamorph, disposed of me, Sensei and the others, as well as the death attribute researchers along with the entire depart to betray Amemiya and the other Bravers
“That’s… it seei
All of the people that Akira had supposedly disposed of knew everything that he had done Even if he knew this… Rikudou Akira was unlikely to change his behavior
And people in Origin’s political and business circles were a reincarnation and such to them would not be an option
In fact, it was highly likely that Akira’s actions would become evenhim
“That’s how it is Therefore, we cannot tell the rein about their reincarnation to Lambda,” said Rodcorte “Of course, the ioal is very inconvenient for ainst him eventually, so I wish for you to turn your attention towards your reincarnation in Lambda”
“Alright, Ka for us?” Murakaned to a punishment
“… Punish about?” said Rodcorte
He didn’t understand why Muraka
“As we thought,” Izumi and Aran whispered to themselves
Both Muraka fiercely with him earlier, showed expressions of bewilderment
“I s we did I’ those tho became your familiar spirits, you know?” Murakami continued
He had played dumb when questioned by As fro, he confessed his own deeds The ones he had killed were even present, but he ignored them
“Is there so with that?” asked Rodcorte
“I , you say…”
Not only did Rodcorte show no signs of criticizing Murakami’s crimes, he seerew thicker
Because he was the master of this Divine Realan his explanation, taking a little care in choosing his words
“I ain Therefore, I do not intend to blain with, laws are decided by hu to do with a God such asothers, ould I do with the great number of murderers that appear every tiin?”
Rodcorte was a God who governed the circles of transration He would norood they were, nor would he punish anyone no matter how evil they were Indifferently, he simply welcomed the souls of the dead, immediately loaded them into his system and had them reborn
“And if you want to speak of murderers, the others are not so different froi in particular has killed many,” said Rodcorte
Being called out suddenly, Asagi protested in surprise “W-wait aanyone but terrorists and dangerous criminals! And it’s not like I intended to kill them!”
“Even terrorists and dangerous criminals are just humans to me,” said Rodcorte
Asagi’s face stiffened as he fell into silence
Aran continued explaining things to hiood and evil people are just huround there is for aof terrorists to protect the ed serial killers, soldiers killing enemy soldiers to protect their own nations, it’s all just murder”
Aran believed thaton the circumstances At first, Rodcorte’s opinion of “no lives aretheht sound like Rodcorte believed that each life was important, but the truth was that this was the absolute worst sense of values from a human’s perspective
Rodcorte was coood or evil qualities; he felt no value in life itself It was fine as long as lots of people were born, lived and died That hat he thought
“He does think that it would be a problem if someone planned to wipe out all life But that’s all it is,” said Izu to Aran’s explanation “It looks like he doesn’t intend to blaive you”
“I see, that’s good,” Muraka that Rodcorte really had no intention of punishi+ng him
The fact that he showed no signs of concern over Izuht have been because he felt no sense of guilt to begin with
“Well then, the problei, Konoe, if you don’t like me, shall we try to kill each other once we’re reborn?” Muraka his attention towards his next life
“If you’re still up to no good, then yeah,” said Asagi
“Of course! If I see you in our next lives, I’ht away!” said Kyuuji
“No, that would be problematic,” said Rodcorte He had been uninterested in events on Origin, but he stepped in to stop thein, in to stimulate the development of the world It would be proble each other And I have so I would like to request of you”
“Is it killing that Vandalieu guy you were talking about earlier? We’re not hired assassins,” said Murakami
“Considering that you don’t care about anyone as long as they can’t wipe out all life, itto kill soi added
“If you tell ht aiththis shi+tty teacher!” said Kyuuji
The reincarnated individuals didn’t seeave a simple explanation
“It’s the first a us reincarnated individuals who died He was in Murakami’s class; he was my and Minami’s classmate It’s Amamiya Hiroto, who fell into the sea as he saved Narumi when the ferry sank,” said Izumi
“In Origin, his name was the ‘Undead’ It’s the one that Hiroto and the others faced, the one who saved the Eighth Guidance that you were fighting and gave them powers,” Aran added
The reincarnated individuals froze as they heard this explanation, and their faces stiffened as they co of these words
