Chapter 170 (1/2)

In his Divine Real at the infore with a suspicious look on his face

Rodcorte had prepared to abandon the ‘Perseus’ Saather inforston faration systeh they hadn’t come into direct contact with Vandalieu repeatedly, the uided by Talosheis’ outer walls and the statues of Vandalieu that had been erected all over the city had the effect of guiding those who looked at them

It was likely that they had been built with a Skill or spell that had some effect on the mind

Most of those who had defected to Talosheiuided, and the inforreatly liht Rodcorte’s interest was the Trial of Zakkart

“… If I recall, it was a peculiar Dungeon that appeared about a hundred years ago”

It wasn’t that he didn’t know about the Trial of Zakkart He had heard of it, but he hadn’t had any interest in it at the time

Up until now, Rodcorte had possessed no interest in the Dungeon na that was one of the four cha Guduranis, the one who had been raised as an Undead by Vida, who had tried to encroach on his authority

This was because he believed that his as to smoothly carry out the reincarnation of huuided them to deal with the probleardless of what the truth behind the Trial of Zakkart was, even if the one who cleared it really could beco to do with Rodcorte

Of course, he had faced troubles withreleased, causing them to not return to his system But to Rodcorte, this was only one of thethat Vandalieu was challenging the trial, he had become interested in it for the first time

“… This is… Has a barrier been placed around the inside of the Dungeon? The memories of the adventurers who have returned from it alive are blurred”

Rodcorte searched the ed the Dungeon before, the Five-colored Blades But there was soeon, and he couldn’t view them

There was no effect on the adventurers’ memories themselves, but Gods could not view theeon… a powerful one at that, one created by a God within his own realm, built with other Gods in mind

This was likely to minimize interference from Rodcorte and other Gods such as Alda

“With that being the case, this Dungeon was created by the evil Gods that appeared with the De”

Rodcorte recalled the names of the evil Gods that were currently feared by human societies, but none of them seemed to match He couldn’t think of any that possessed the power and authority to create such a special Dungeon and place this barrier around it

No reat limitations when they tried to perform tasks that were outside their authority Rodcorte, as the God of reincarnation, could exert great power over souls that returned to his circles of transration before their rebirths, but he could do al for huive sos to the reincarnated individuals, ere like semi-believers to him, but they were an exception to the rule

“If I recall, the evil God of labyrinths was in Vida’s faction Is it him? But even if it is, why in the world has he done this? There is no reason for him to search for Bellwood’s successor… Could it be that he has gonefor Zakkart’s successor?”

If this was the case, it was an exceedingly foolish act

The power bestowed upon the chas that were lienetically inherited or passed down in any other way Of course, they did not have any effect after reincarnation, either

If the descendants of Zakkart and the others… unlike for Ark and Solder omen, it was possible that Zakkart and Hill had left those with their blood flowing through the about it Even if their blood still miraculously existed in the present era, a hundred thousand years had passed already

That was a length of tier be discerned It would likely be inize them

Thus, it should have been impossible to find the champions’ successors by their powers or bloodlines

The only possibility was that the Dungeon would designate soies and sense of values as Zakkart and his companions as Zakkart’s successor, but then, it was difficult to ieon would be a suitable way to select such an individual

“No, it is possible that he could distinguish the distorted soul that I created froments of the souls of Zakkart and his companions”

In order to ensure that Vida and Ricklent wouldn’t try to resurrect the dead, a troublesome act that would jeopardize Rodcorte’s own authority, he had gathered all of the fragle soul that he then placed into his circle of transuish this soul if one could see its shape

But that wasn’t possible, either

“Just in case, I placed that soul not in Laic and monsters do not exist, a world where Gods do not take action In my system, the circles of reincarnation of different worlds do not exchange souls with each other, so there is no chance that it would have reincarnated in Lambda… Could it be?!”

Rodcorte was astonished by his oords And even as he told himself that it was impossible, he searched for the soul that was ments of Zakkart and the others, which was supposed to be in the circle of reincarnation systele piece blip in a vast sea of inforreatly distorted soul It wasn’t impossible for Rodcorte to find it in his systeave him the answer of: “Search results, none”

Iht as he repeated the search two e

“It is not on Earth… whichthe reincarnated individuals? Back then, at the only tied souls with another world!”

Indeed, it was soed souls between Earth and the circle of transh his mind, Rodcorte searched the records of the reincarnated individuals and checked their souls

None of the ninety-seven souls that appeared had any irregularities

A those who had died in the incident on the ferry, Rodcorte had chosen a hundred and two people In the beginning, one person had declined to be reincarnated, and a hundred and one had been reincarnated in Origin

The souls of two of thenir’ Kaidou Kanata and the ‘Death Scythe’ Konoe Miyaji, had been broken by Vandalieu, and the ‘Gazer’ Minu with the souls of the Eighth Guidance

As for Vandalieu, he had been turned into a member of one of Vida’s races and Rodcorte was unable to interfere with him directly

Machida Aran and Endou Kouya, who had ascended to become Rodcorte’s fae about Rodcorte and were observing hi with hie I suppose so’s happened,” said Kouya

Of course, Rodcorte had already inspected his three fah contact with them when he made them his familiar spirits He would have noticed back then if their souls had been distorted or out of the ordinary

“No, if that were the case, would I not have noticed when I first reincarnated the to hiic, cheat-like abilities, fortunes and destinies to the reincarnated individuals He had made contact with the souls as he did so

So then, perhaps it wasn’t that the soul otten mixed up with the reincarnated individuals Perhaps it was some other mistake that had caused it to move from Earth to another world?

It was possible Recently, Vandalieu had been causing daration system repeatedly Perhaps a mistake had arisen on one of these occasions –

“Wait! That’s right, it’s Vandalieu! I did not hast as he finally arrived at this truth

When Rodcorte reincarnated the people froive Vandalieu, as all of his qualities for ic and cheat-like abilities and such had been bestowed upon Amemiya Hiroto Thus, Vandalieu’s soul had been sent on its ithout Rodcorte ever touching it

Even when Rodcorte reincarnated hiin to Lambda, he had deemed it likely that Vandalieu would cause hariven hiic; he had simply thrown some curses onto him

Rodcorte had never touched Vandalieu’s soul

“I seven billion people, a the one hundred people I selected?!” Rodcorte shouted

His face still wearing an astonished expression, his body began tre, that could deny the truth that he had come to realize

But there was only evidence that supported it

Even with an empty frame, Vandalieu possessed an amount of Mana that could not be considered normal Wasn’t that because his soul wasGuduranis or soments, and this was the cause of the manifestation of the death attribute Could Rodcorte really deny this possibility?

And e movements of La him; was the reason for that not the fact that Vandalieu’s soul was ments of Zakkart and the others?

“Oi, what’s the an

“What an unpleasant turn of events!” Rodcorte bellowed

He released a shockwave in his anger that sent Aran flying, but he was in no state to take any notice of that

The Gods of Las and sun world of Earth The chain of events starting from that one event had now jeopardized Rodcorte’s circle of transration system

Rodcorte felt dizzy as he reflected on his own mistakes and carelessness It was likely that the evil God of labyrinths had created that Dungeon to find Vandalieu

At this rate, Vandalieu would gain even greater power and lead not only those squire, but all of Vida’s races, as the second coht persecute the humans that he could not lead… no, it was possible that he would slaughter them and drive them to extinction

If that happened, an era would come where reincarnation in Laration system, but by Vida’s In order to prevent that, Rodcorte – had no options

“Then there is no time to lose Before any more burden is placed on the entire system, I will detach Lambda from it,” Rodcorte decided

This was so that the wound wouldn’t open any further, even if it e now

… Naturally, he didn’t spare a single thought for Sarua, Asagi, Murakami and the others who had already been reincarnated in Laht for the people of Lambda or Alda and the other Gods

An arht of a false sun

Rank 8 Greater Demon soldiers, a race superior to Lesser Demons, with sand-like bodies that were resistant to physical attacks

Huge Sandworms that could swim freely in the sea of sand, feared by caravans Iron Scorpions that possessed exoskeletons as hard as iron Desert Cha hue Shades, evil spirits that wandered deserts and tormented the minds of their victims with illusions

They were only Rank 4 or 5, but they were fearsome predators that ell-adapted to desert environhthtmares, a foe that even an class adventurer would not defeat easily

As eon created by Gufadgarn, they were all artificially-created life, regardless of their races Their bodies, which had been created for a single purpose, housed hollow eon’s will that they didn’t even have self-preservation instincts

But now, their eyes contained the light of a will that they all shared

It was a nobility, like that of aht his arhty enehty foe that awaited the across the desert, Knochen

The fortress, which was as large as a s pace of a human, unimpeded by the sand of the desert

And then a fierce battle began

Bones separated from Knochen and took the form of Skeletons and Rotten Beasts that spewed forth poisonous breath as they assaulted the Sand Demons and Sandworms

And at the sa-range attack They were fired with about as e holes even in the enore Sandworeous situation Knochen could perform multiple attacks at once, but in the end, it was still just one monster The variety in its attacks was lihtmare Dee Shades, were immune to poison attacks

“GYUGYOOOOH!”

The Sand Deent than their appearances would suggest, attacked Knochen and its ht-attribute spells, cast with roar-like incantations

Ironically, even Deht-attribute spells

The parts of Knochen’s body and its

However, these were no serious wounds to Knochen Losing a few of the bonesmore than a scratch

“OOOOOOHN”
