Chapter 162 (1/2)

Vida, the Goddess of life and love, had been awakening and falling back into sluular pattern But she opened her eyes, sensing a presence that was too great to be a person’s

This Mana, this presence, Zakkart… it’s that child!

The reborn soul that had been her own champion Zakkart, the soul that had been Ark, Solder and Hill, had come to this place

As Vida gained consciousness, she gathered infor Vandalieu from her believers and the races that were her children

Unlike Rodcorte and Alda, she was able to obtain a vast auilt at the same time It was a vast, deep emotion that the pain from her wounds and the stakes in her body paled in comparison to

Ihim here!

With these emotions still fresh in her mind, she summoned Vandalieu to her own Divine Realrounds that had been naeon that had arn, the evil God of labyrinths Outside of the e, it was apparently considered to be an S-class Dungeon

It wasn’t difficult to invite someone who had stepped inside it into her Divine Realm

Ah…

Vida’s chest tightened painfully as she saw the grotesque appearance of the soul before her

It had the shape of a person, but the lengths and sizes of the head and limbs were mixed and ular in nu growing fro around it

Its appearance could be described as a clay dolltouches added by a mad artist

He had still possessed a human’s form when he first reincarnated in this world He had been shrouded in strange Mana and severely hurt, but he’d still had a human form

Rodcorte had put together the soul fragments of the four cha into a single soul; this was the origin of Vandalieu’s soul That was likely why his soul had possessed a dormant form that was different to that of humans

One part of the reason that this dorreatly was Vida herself She had taken Vandalieu’s soul from Rodcorte’s system and had it reincarnate inside one of her own children In doing so, she had also bestowed upon hi memories fro freely… the blood of a Goddess

And so, Vandalieu had been born and lived up until now as a Dhampir As a result of Vida’s interference, every part of the life that he was supposed to have lived had changed, and his rotesque form in the process

It was unlikely that he could live an ordinary life now

It was likely the arrogance of a God that had e his life

But at the same time, Vida was happy

Despite being in that state, he had listened to her ‘request’

That hy the first words she spoke were not an apology

“First, letto my request”

She extended a hand to express her gratitude

Vandalieu blinked his numerous eyes, and his head spun around on his neck for a few moments “… Request?” he repeated

He seemed to be bewildered by Vida’s words Despite his appearance being far ante’s, his emotional expression was very easy to read

As Vida realized this, her sreider “It’s only natural for you to not remember When you were reincarnated in this world, I made you a request I said that I want you to love this world To love the air, the wind, the earth, the greenery, the animals and the people,” she said “You did exactly that; you loved the world I truly thank you”

Vandalieu’s bewilderrew deeper He did not feel any unpleasant e thanked, but he didn’t understand why such a naturally-fulfilled request would be made of him

It was extremely natural to feel affection towards the land and environrew up; it was natural to feel love towards the people around oneself

At the very least, this was true for Vandalieu

On Earth and even in Origin, he had never cursed the worlds theh expectations and affection for people to think that he would find happiness on Earth by distancing hi independence, and even in Origin, enough to save the Eighth Guidance who had been treated as experimental animals like him

The same was true in Lambda No, it was only natural for him to feel even more at ease in this world, where he could exercise power that he hadn’t been able to gain on Earth and the freedoin

… He did feel that he had killed too many people to declare without hesitation that he loved people But since he consistently did his best not to kill people, perhaps he ithin reason for Vida to forgive hiht

But when I reincarnated in Laht after I was killed by in and cursed by Rodcorte Given my mental state back then, maybe it’s not unreasonable to assuht, satisfied with this explanation

But as Vida was a Goddess, she knehat he was thinking “That isn’t it,” she told hi-distant past, you were Zakkart, the champion I summoned to this world At the same time, you were Ark; you were Solder; you were Hill”

“Eh?”

“Their souls were broken by the Dele new soul and reincarnated it… in order to ensure that I could not resurrect them”

“… I see That makes a lot of sense”

As Vandalieu learned that he was once four chareater, but at the sae actions that Vida, Ricklent and the other Gods had taken ever since he reincarnated into this world

Vida had sent Divine Messages to Nuaza, who had becoh indirectly, to Queen Donaneris of Zanalpadna

The Divine Message sent to Nuaza had been approxio That was before Vandalieu had been born in Origin or even on Earth as Amamiya Hiroto
