Chapter 162 (2/2)

That was a time where it would be completely unthinkable that she could know of Vandalieu’s existence and send a Divine Message

And then there were Ricklent and Zuruwarn, who had reincarnated the Eighth GuidanceMinuiven them their divine protections

The details of how this had come about were still a mystery, but if Vandalieu was Zakkart and Ark reborn, he could accept these events to some extent

“But I don’t have memories from when I was the champions, nor do I have their power Even now, I don’t feel anything that feels like re past memories,” Vandalieu said

He didn’t recall any events from before his life on Earth as Amamiya Hiroto, nor did any flashbacks occur

He had never awakened a special power or talent before awakening to the death attribute in Origin

Even now, after being directly told by the Goddess herself, he had no sense of any of this He didn’t feel anything even when looking at the remains enshrined on the throne next to her…the skeleton of as likely to be Zakkart

If it hadn’t been told to hi that he would be able to believe

… Also, he found it a little hard to believe that he had once been Hill, the source of the incorrect infor bushi+ and ninjas that had becoe

“There’s no helping that You were created froments of Zakkart and the others over a hundred thousand years ago, and the powers that we gave Zakkart were not those with properties that would influence you after reincarnation,” Vida said “Umm, Ricklent is better at these kinds of explanations, but…”

“Then I shall answer your desire,” said a new voice without warning

Three people appeared inside Vida’s Divine Real man and a boy, but in the next mole God

“Ricklent! You’ve recovered fro! I was so worried It’s been so long… Now that I think about it, you’re the one who told lad to see you,” said Vida

“Vida, my sister, it is us who have been far more worried about you… Alda was cruel to you,” said Ricklent, gazing with pity at the thick stakes i Vida’s arms and the numerous swords that still protruded from her body

“It’s true that I’m the one who is more severely wounded now,” Vida said with a small, bitter smile “But why are you here? If I recall, there is supposed to be a barrier here, e”

Vida had fallen into slu the earth to create the Boundary Mountain Range, so she was poorly-informed on the details of the events that had followed

But as her sleep grew shallow at irregular intervals, she had becorasp the situation to some extent now

According to what she knew, there was supposed to be a barrier that prevented not only Gods fro fa to the people within

And this place, Vida’s Resting Grounds, was the center of that barrier

Even if Ricklent was one of the great Gods like her, even if he was the one as the ic, he shouldn’t have been able to enter the barrier

“This is not e reflected in a mirror Because I have become worshi+pped in his nation, it has becoe turned to Vandalieu and lowered his head slightly “Allow hts”

Vandalieu lowered his limp, misshapen head in response “Not at all; it seeion to my side”

“… Their forize to them for me,” said Ricklent

He and Zuruwarn had co hihth Guidance, orshi+pped him in another world

They were supposed to have been reincarnated as separate individuals, just as they had been in Origin, but they had been born as a single entity as a result of Rodcorte’s interference

“They don’t really seeh,” said Vandalieu

Pluto and the others didn’t seem deeply bothered by it themselves It seeh it seemed that they were positive in a way that differed from the ordinary definition of the word They had taken aberrant actions in Origin, deciding that if only a hellish future awaited thee) and then die

“Even if they thee the fact that it was a regrettable outcome for me,” said Ricklent

“Sorry, Ricklent has always been the type to worry about those kinds of things,” said Vida

“Stop this vague explanation of my disposition More importantly, how about you inspect Vandalieu’s current condition, my sister? It should be possible for you nohile your consciousness is still clear”

“Yes, yes,” said Vida “I’ to touch you a little,” she said to Vandalieu

A warm hand touched Vandalieu’s soul It seeh for her to examine its condition

“While she is doing that, I shall answer your questions, former and current champion Vandalieu It is only natural that you do not possess the power and memories from when you were Zakkart and Ark… the obvious outcome,” said Ricklent

Gods such as Ricklent could grant divine protections and power to the people, but souls were always repeatedly undergoing reincarnation Thus, there would be great probles bestowed upon those souls were to carry over into their future lives

There was no guarantee that a virtuous person would be reborn as a virtuous person in their next life In the sauarantee that an evil person would be reborn as an evil person

In many cases, the Gods looked at people’s personalities and their past deeds, granting their divine protections and other blessings only upon those that they saw fit to receive them

But once they were reborn, the personalities and past deeds that were the basis of receiving these blessings were reset This was true for all but the very, very few exceptions like the reincarnated individuals that retained their memories and personalities from their previous lives

It was possible that a virtuous, wise edy early on in his next life that twisted his personality, turning him into a despicable tyrant

… There was also a significant possibility that they wouldn’t even be reborn as people A warrior who had received the divine protection of a war-God ht be reborn as a cohich would ain soon after
