Chapter 185 (1/2)

Note fro error at the end of the last chapter; the wo forest is a Colossus, not a titan My apologies

Yoshi+

The Colossus wotrees at her feet

She e-inspiring, beautiful, and there was an aura of divinity around her entire body If one didn’t notice her size and the fact that the ground trembled with each step she took… no, even if they did, they would assume that she was a Goddess

“I am the Moon Giant Deeana I am one of the children of Zerno, the Colossus God I presume that you are the holy son of Vida, the new champion, and these are your coe of the burning forest

Her tone was gentle, but Oniwaka, Kanako, Doug, Melissa and Cuatro shrank back, feeling overwhelhted at the fact that the Colossus had called hi”

“Yes! I am that ‘champion!’ My na out from Cuatro’s deck

He had even repeated the word ‘champion’ for emphasis

“I can hear you even if you talk normally You don’t have to lean out of the boat and screa Vandalieu so that he wouldn’t fall into the poisonous sea, and then she cleared her throat and began speaking in her previous majestic tone once more “I have heard news of you from Schneider and his companions, who are loyal disciples of Vida We welcome you here fro and Melissa had returned to Taloshei equipped Leo and Cuatro, was sitting in Deeana’s cupped palms with his companions

“It would takepace, after all,” she said

The size of her body was comparable to Gyubarzo, the evil God of dark seas Boulders and trees were crushed beneath her feet, and the nearbyno

“It doesn’t seem to be a simple matter of distance,” Vandalieu reuy and… Schneider and his companions that this place that you refer to as the Dark Continent is an assortment of Devil’s Nests with far harsher environments compared to the continents that humans inhabit, and the monsters that roam about here are powerful, of the sort that would nore of the continent, so it is not really the case here, but the deeper reaches of the continent are swar with Rank 10 …” Oniwaka e, Rank 10 eons were rare, the only ones around being ons that inhabited the skies above the ave a bitter smile at her reaction “The main cause of this is Ravovifard, the evil God of release That evil God sti theainst the other evil Gods and to attack us froerous than any other land,” she said “But now that he is gone, the nus should cal wild during the solar eclipse that occurred not long ago”

Ravovifard had defeated the other evil Gods to take control over the Dark Continent, but the continent was apparently safer than it was before now that he was gone

“However, this has caused a burden upon you,” Deeana continued “I have heard a rough recollection of events froon… I believe that Zantark will have his oords for you, but I shall apologize as well I a to escape the Dark Continent, Prince Bugitas of the noble Orc nation that was an ee conflict inside the Boundary Mountain Range

Of course, everything was a result of Ravovifard’s actions, but it seemed that Deeana felt responsibility for the incident as one of the individuals who had allowed hion?” Vandalieu repeated “… Those words alone are enough, please do not trouble yourself over it any further More importantly, what do youthe solar eclipse?”

“Under the influence of the solar eclipse that Alda caused… to be precise, the ‘eclipse’ that Alda brought about by loosening his control over the light and life attributes and darkening the sun, a number of seals on evil Gods that are re’s army also loosened,” Deeana explained

It seemed that Gyubarzo, the evil God of dark seas, was not the only God to have made a return

“The Bahn Gaia Continent is under Alda’s influence, so he should have been cautious even during the solar eclipse, but… perhaps soht, or perhaps it was a deliberate action by him The seals placed by the Gods have weakened,” Deeana continued “The divine authorities of reat Gods were used when they sealed the evil Gods away during the battle against the De the only God who governs the world now”

It see his control over the world in order to cause the solar eclipse Of course, it wasn’t as if the seals on every evil God had become undone

However, on the Dark Continent and in the seas surrounding it, there were seals that the De that he had no use for weaklings that could be defeated and sealed away Deeana and her allies had also placed seals on numerous evil Gods that they had defeated themselves, as well as the ones that they had taken the opportunity to seal ahile they eakened froainst Ravovifard

It see loosened at once had caused large problems

“As a result, we have been very busy Many of them were not particularly powerful Gods, so they did not cause great incidents, but… ere supposed to alternate shi+fts, night and day, to welco an evil God who atte, and I have ended up htfall,” said Deeana “I do not knohat intentions Alda had in bringing about this solar eclipse, but it has been of great nuisance to us”

“It is likely that this was one of Alda’s goals,” Gufadgarn said suddenly, having listened to Deeana in silence up until this point “He has been careful to not cause any direct dae to the Bahn Gaia continent outside the Boundary Mountain Range, but he has exhausted your strength by forcing you to deal with the evil Gods whose seals were undone Even if it caused some human casualties, Alda and his Gods would support his heroes to deal with the his heroes at the saht, however”

“You… Could it be you, Gufadgarn?” asked Deeana, her eyes opening wide

“Yes Did you not notice?”

It seemed that Deeana had only just noticed that the sweet, beautiful Elf girl was the vessel that contained Gufadgarn

“If you did not, then I should be happy about it It h to fool the eyes of a God,” Gufadgarn said “It seems that I am able to act in accordance with the will of Zakkart, who desired a beautiful Elf girl”

“… No, I did notice that there was soirl… However, I do not e in my eyes”

There was the half-noble Orc Pauvina, the Ghosts whose Ranks had increased in strange ways, Bone Man as rational and conscious despite being an Undead, and Vandalieu, who had a stranger presence and aura than anyone It seearn, who had reotten aarn is… Wait, what did youto hide her bewilderment

“Ah, please don’t touch on that topic yet,” said Vandalieu, stopping her “I’ll explain everything e meet Zantark and the others”

There would be other Gods that would be surprised by Gufadgarn’s current appearance, so he wanted to save the effort of having to repeat his explanation

“More importantly, are you related in some way to the Sun Giant Talos?” Vandalieu asked “Your name isn’t written anywhere in Talosheim’s records, so we haven’t heard of you”

He wanted to change the topic, but he had also been curious about this ever since he had heard Deeana’s title of ‘Moon Giant’

“Indeed I am the twin sister of the Sun Giant Talos,” Deeana said, not see particularly hesitant to answer Vandalieu’s question “The Colossi created during the age of the Gods, including myself, were the children of the Colossus God Zerno, but Talos and I were born at the saht of thea tender s behind Vandalieu “Thus, I a the battle that occurred a hundred thousand years ago, but… you have gone through th”

Princess Levia, as now a Satan Prometheus Ghost after her latest Rank increase, hastily materialized into a visible form and lowered her black-red-flame-covered head “N-no, we are not worthy of such words! But… I araced Talosheim with your presence one day”

“Yes, I certainly will one day It see a Ghost, you have becos upon you and your brethren,” said Deeana, s deeply at the flames that enveloped Princess Levia like robes

The place that Deeana brought Vandalieu and his colance, to be a vast, sinister land of death, filled with lava and boulders

But somehow, it seeases It was hot, of course, but not unbearably so

With a few Dey, it would become a reasonable te about this environhts

“It is likely that the surrounding lava is not the result of volcanic activity, but the result of Zantark’s presence,” she said

“I see… So, this is the power of a great God But that doesn’t seem to be all,” said Vandalieu

“Indeed This place has partially turned into Zantark’s Divine Real with evil Gods, he has becoer return to what it was Now, he is likely turning a part of the Dark Continent into his Divine Real a reckless effort to do so,” Gufadgarnthat Zantark could only do because the entire continent was as contaeon, and because two-thirds of his being were now evil

“Hreat historic discovery,” said Luciliano, his entire body drenched with sweat as he furiously scribbled notes as if his life depended on it

Even he was so overwhel, because there were so athered here

The on God Tiamat, who had the appearance of an enor Lafaz, who had the appearance of an enormous, two-headed bird The ancestors of the Kijin and Majin races

The Kijin ancestor was a being so huge that hea fur cloak and a mask In contrast, the Majin ancestor was about as small as a human, but emanated a tremendous presence

There were also nuathered here

There were two that stood out a the a pale glow from his entire body The other a male God who looked like he had fused with a rocky rave look on his face, his eyes firmly shut

… There was also another that stood out in another way – for sohtly larger-than-normal Wyvern next to the

What could that be? Vandalieu wondered

All of his companions were curious about this out-of-place Wyvern as well However, they didn’t get a chance to express their curiosity

The ht body half was covered in a black, iron-sand-like substance and whose left body half was enshrouded by a black mist… Zantark, the war-God of fire and destruction, suddenly opened his eyes and widened his jaws, revealing rows of sharp teeth

He let out a ferocious, stor even Vandalieu to stiffen

However, even with the force of the roar bearing down of theies!” said Luciliano, i prostrate

“Boss,first?!” Kiry at you?” asked Pauvina, bewildered

“Bocchan, what shall we do?!” asked Sam

“Should we offer hiested Saria

“Everyone, cal everyone,” said Vandalieu, hastily trying to calm his cory at us to begin with?” he wondered

He was accusto evil Gods with bizarre forer from Zantark

However, the others could only tell that Zantark was frowning and that his voice was loud

But they didn’t know theof his roar

The Majin ancestor scowled and slapped the shoulder of the nervous, stiff-faced ht The old man… Zantark says, ‘Welcoments of the champions’ souls,’” said the man… the heroic God Farmaun

It see of Zantark’s roar

Zantark roared once more, but this time, Farht away Apparently, ever since fusing with the evil God of dark dust and the evil God of evil darkness, Zantark had becohts like before, so he needed other Gods to interpret for hibut rocks and lava…’”

Suddenly, Far was interrupted by the Majin ancestor hitting him

“Ouch! Those are Zantark’s words, not mine!” Far the words from your mouth, so my hand moved instinctively in that direction I a the conversation, Oyaji-dono, honored guests,” said the Majin ancestor, apologizing to everyone except Farmaun

With that, he took two steps back, behind the place where he had been originally standing The other Gods looked disapprovingly at the Majin ancestor, but they did not seee made it clear that Farmaun had not made amends with them; they had si the discord between them that had continued ever since the battle between Vida’s faction and Alda’s forces, perhaps even a truce was more than reasonable

To the Majin ancestor and the rest of the Gods, Far those who had wounded their parents and siblings, and killed ainst Zantark during that battle, so the ones he had wounded and defeated directly were few compared to the other two battle-oriented chas have turned out if he had remained an ally of Zantark, the God who had chosen him, or even sihts like these, it was likely iet the chains of the past

Vandalieu felt like he noticed a bitter smile on Zantark’s face as he looked at the other Gods, but perhaps he was just i once side you, but unfortunately, ill be unable to move from this place for some ti’s remnants due to the recent solar eclipse, but there is also the fact that if we abandon the Dark Continent,and the Devil’s Nest will spread endlessly, eventually crossing the ocean and reaching Bahn Gaia in as little as just a few years,’” said Far “Zantark, slon your pace a little If you don’t put a little lessin each of your words, I can’t keep up!”

It seemed that each of Zantark’s roars contained a densely-co to interpret them

“I see, I understand the situation To speak of the situation on our end, I have destroyed Alda’s divine authority that was used to seal Vida,” said Vandalieu

At his words, the Gods begana coained her consciousness?!”

“I had ain one day It will really come true!”

“KUEEEH!”
