Chapter 180 (1/2)

“Long time no see, Amamiya Well, if we count the time I had only my soul with no body, then I think we’ve seen each other’s faces a year ago,” said the ‘Mage Masher’ Asagi Minami with a bitter smile on his face

Behind hii and the ‘Clairvoyance’ Tatsuya Tendou

Unlike Asagi, these tere clearly being very cautious of Legion

“… Ugh Why are you people here? I thought that we careement that you wouldn’t interfere while we ot to hi to the promise that had been made in Rodcorte’s Divine Realroup shouldn’t have interfered while Kanako’s group i see this promise “That’s not the kind of tone a former idol should have,” he said “We made that promise with Murakami, so we don’t need to be so considerate towards you now that you’ve left his group… I have no intention of arguing so unreasonable like that The truth is, if Auys were finished”

“Then you should have just left instead of co out,” said Kanako

“Don’t ask us the impossible If we didn’t come out, ould have been i pointed out “Isn’t that right, A about the rules you have decided between yourselves! Even if we did, we have no reason to play along with the these words, Kanako stopped hounding Asagi She wanted to coht that Vandalieu’s iroup would becoument in front of hiion asked

“The voice before was Valkyrie, and the one just noas Pluto…” Asagi uys would try to curry favour with Amamiya And anted toinformation lies to tell us so that they could use Venus’s power to try and roup had learned of Kanako’sFamiliar Spirit Descent to hear from Rodcorte’s familiar spirits, Aran and Izumi They had headed towards the former Scylla territory and used Tendou’s Clairvoyance to search for theroup suht Vandalieu Asagi had been unconcerned, as his original objective was to persuade hie his ways In fact, he was confused as to why Aran would bother re-e this to hi about Aran’s warning; they atching Asagi and Vandalieu’s everyhappened

“That’s not ere intending, but… I suppose being doubted like this is justwhat I deserve,” said Kanako

She was speaking admirable words, but she felt very bitter on the inside That was how inconvenient it was for her group that Asagi’s group was here

Asagi’s group were people that her group had betrayed in Origin, and they possessed all of the inforroup did

In fact, they were the ones with the infore, as they had received infor reincarnated

“’Mage Masher,’ did you think that ould coainst the abilities of Kanako and her group?” Legion asked Asagi

Vandalieu and Legion were unaware that the true power of Kanako’s Venus was the copying and pasting of emotions and memories However, they had deteret’s ion, ould be immune to such effects, had co properties, could pierce through Melissa’s Aegis Ability

The telekinesis granted to Doug by his Hecatoncheir ability wouldn’t be a probleens created with the Disease Deic that he couldn’t perceive

And in preparation for the possibility of there being more reincarnated individuals present than the three whose na forces with hiar They were in the surrounding area and inside Vandalieu’s body

Legion’s tongue grew sharper the more Kanako and her companions flattered Vandalieu, which Kanako and her companions seemed to mistake for hostility

“I’ll say it towith these guys; we didn’t cooperate with them to draw you out with a false letter,” Kanako said hastily

“It’s true In the end, we did bring theize for that,” said Melissa

But Vandalieu and Legion nodded

“I know that There were no signs of you having done such things,” said Vandalieu

“We knew that those three were hiding there froa explained

“That’s ere observing you for a while as you were talking and ca together,” said Ereshkigal

Before Vandalieu and Legion called out to Kanako’s group, they had realized that Asagi’s group had been hiding in order to keep an eye on Kanako’s group

On top of that, they had come prepared for the unlikely event that it was all a trap

“I’ll warn you again, but don’t try anything funny,” said Ghost “There are countless forces surrounding you, including the head-hunting demon You don’t want your head cut off a second tiroup changed clearly as they heard the voices of Baba Yaga, Ereshkigal and Ghost coi looked bitter, Shouko looked angry and Tendou turned pale

“‘Anything funny’ includes fighting each other Vandalieu has come to hear what you have to say We’ll eliminate anyone who interferes with that,” said Pluto “So, we’ve already heard what Kanako’s group wants Were you intending to do nothing e Masher?’”

“Of course that’s not all,” said Asagi, facing Vandalieu “A,” said Vandalieu, interrupting hi, Amamiya? I’ve really come to stop you”

Up until this point, Vandalieu had rei spoke to him, and their eyes hadn’t even met But he accepted that he had to say this now

“I am not Amamiya Hiroto Now, I am Vandalieu Zakkart,” Vandalieu said

He had hoped that Asagi would realize this without hi? You’re our buddy, A at him with a puzzled expression

Vandalieu’s shoulders fell “It’s true that I was once ‘Ao, and I feel no attachment towards that name Please call me Vandalieu from now on,” he said “Also, I am not your ‘buddy’”

The current Vandalieu felt so little attacher consider it his own

It wasn’t that he was trying to deny his past or forget it However, he felt an unavoidable sense of discomfort when he was referred to by that name

“You… Are you serious? Even if you were reincarnated in another world, the fact that you were Aan, his voice raised in anger

Tendou and Shouko stepped in to cali, he is Vandalieu It’s fine that way, isn’t it?” said Tendou

“Most of us haven’t changed our names since ere reincarnated, but he’s different I’m sure there are all kinds of reasons for it,” said Shouko

Perhaps accepting this for now, Asagi fell silent for a ht You want ht? I’m curious as to why your surname is Zakkart, but… I’ll leave that aside for now,” he said “Vandalieu, we’ve coic, right this moment if possible”

“That’s impossible Do you have any other business here?” Vandalieu asked

“… I’ as if he were trying to hold hiht”

“… Please give it soht? I want to ask the sai, earing expressions that seeht” Vandalieu looked at theaze, but he felt irritated and ht that it would be ht them here, but if he did that, it would likely become even more troublesome when in

The situation was still just a discussion, and Asagi and Vandalieuopinions and viewpoints

If Vandalieu were to elii for that reason alone, he would beco this stressful situation, Asagi seeht

“Could it be…?” he whispered to himself, and then he lowered his head towards Vandalieu “If you resent us because we failed to notice you and couldn’t save you in Origin, then I’ more than an excuse at this point, but… we really didn’t know that you were a reincarnated individual,” he said

It seeht that the reason for Vandalieu’s attitude towards him was the events in their previous lives

Shouko and Tendou, as well as Kanako’s group who had been watching this conversation unfold, seei’s lead and lowered their heads

“That’s right, the first thing we should have done was apologize”

“I’s wouldn’t have turned out like that”

“I’ize”

“Yeah, I’m sorry”

But Vandalieu shook his head “I don’t care about what happened in our previous lives It’s troublesoi and the others raised their faces and looked at him in surprise

“You don’t care? You didn’t resent us? I heard that you wanted to kill us,” said Doug

Vandalieu instinctively looked away “Please forget the words I shouted in front of Rodcorte after I died in Origin,” he said “Those ords of hatred spoken when my mind was very strained and I had lost half h calmly afterwards and realized that the one at fault was Rodcorte for reincarnating hi, and that the other reincarnated individuals were not to blame

Of course, that didn’t mean that he had no hatred for the other reincarnated individuals at all, but… over ten years had passed since then All kinds of things had happened during that tied dramatically

Thus, the fact that the reincarnated individuals failed to save hi deal to Vandalieu Part of it was that he simply didn’t have the time to actively hunt down the reincarnated individuals and kill theht? Well, that’s definitely a relief to hear,” said Doug, looking surprised and confused at the sanir’ Kaidou Kanata, but perhaps the other reincarnated individuals hadn’t heard the e, or perhaps they had interpreted it as a lie to ht Ah, could it be that the other reincarnated individuals can hear ht to fly towards Doug and deliver his e to the other reincarnated individuals “hello, can you hear me? I don’t care about the fact that you killed me or even about your existence It would be more probleize toshouted, instinctively trying to get away from the dead-fish-like eyes that were now in his face

“Vandalieu, calion

This was a comical conversation, but Kanako and Tendou found theh

He doesn’t even care about our existence… That iven us, he’s just not interested, doesn’t it?! thought Kanako

They say that the opposite of liking so coht Tendou

Vandalieu’s words weren’t spoken out of forgiveness, but out of coive up after all Let’s get out of here,” Tendou whispered into Asagi’s ear

But Asagi was not a man who could accept this “No, I’in I’ to stop hi Tendou’s whispered warning aside And then, with a strong-willed tone, he called out once“Vandalieu, listen toto be huge problems in this world because of you at this rate!”

“… Well, I suppose that’s right,” said Vandalieu, his weariness audible even in his flat-toned voice

“You’re aware of it?!”

“Just what do you think I’ve done, fought against and defeated up until now?”

The restoration of the fallen nation of Talosheim, the occupation of this former Scylla territory Most importantly, the release of Vida, the Goddess of life and love, who had been sealed away by Alda’s divine authority The acquisition of the surna the Trial of Zakkart

The eneh Priest Gordan and fourSwords On the Orbauhts’ order of the Hartner Duchy and one of the resistance organizations that had been trying to recapture the Sauron Duchy

A the Gods, he had defeated the Pure-breed Vampires Ternecia and Gubamon, as well as Ravovifard, the evil God of release He had also apparently consumed a God whose name he didn’t even know

If Vandalieu tried to think of the things he had done that would affect the world outside the Boundary Mountain Range as well, there were this many that just came off the top of his head Even Vandalieu wasn’t so carefree as to think that these actions wouldn’t cause large problei and the other reincarnated individuals knew all of this Vandalieu doubted they had even figured out that he had revived Vida and conquered the Trial of Zakkart

“If you’re aware, why haven’t you stopped?! I’; at this rate, the entire world will become your enemy! The Gods and people of this world will not accept you, soi shouted, feeling a sense of danger

His words were the conclusion he reached after experiencing a little over a year of life in the Orbaudom, in the human society of this world

In this world, the existence of Undead was deeion, which made up the majority of the population But it wasn’t just them; even a small number of Vida’s followers did not accept Undead In fact, every single church taught that creating andthe dead out of one’s own selfish desires were evil acts that desecrated life

No ic was, the people of this world would not accept hi as he continued to use Undead as his servants

This conclusion that Asagi had ly not far off the mark Emperor Marshukzarl of the A Vandalieu’s future as well

They were slightly different, however, as Asagi’s conclusion was based on the people’s emotions towards Undead while Marshukzarl’s conclusion was based on the fact that Vandalieu’s actions up until this point were not compatible with the desires of human nations

“No matter how extraordinary your Mana is, you won’t be able to defeat the entire world! Even the Dei continued

Indeed, the De Guduranis had possessed far reat Gods, completely polluted an entire continent, destroyed the souls of four champions and pushed humanity to the brink of extinction And yet, he had been defeated by the re three cha my best to not make the entire world my ene this conversation with Asagi and not attacking hierous being wielding soreatest power in the world who killed others for no other reason than theions… the people of the world would beco

But even if a being wielded great power, as long as he could be reasoned with, then things shouldn’t come to that There would be so with, but cases in which that led to actual conflict should remain within sh the world’s affairs were now in an odd situation as a result

“That’s not enough,” said Asagi “It’s true that the death attribute is convenient, and countless people were saved by it in Origin But there isn’t anyone ill accept soi, there are ion, denying his words directly

“… I can’t trust the words of you people orshi+p hii “And this is a conversation between us people who have been reincarnated from Earth Sorry, but stay out of this –”

“Hold on!” said Melissa, cutting Asagi off

Asagi looked irritated at having been cut off, but he had bigger things on his mind after Melissa spoke her next words
