Rodcorte, the God of reincarnation, let out a heavy sigh as he looked over the e from Alda, the God of law and fate”So, the existence of the reincarnated individuals has been discovered far before I originally planned…” he ration syste to develop… or rather, the human population would not increase Frustrated with this, Rodcorte had decided to send a hundred and one reincarnated individuals to Lambda
With no notice or permission from Alda, the law of God and fate as the chief God in Lambda
Of course, he had been fully aware that the Gods led by Alda opposed the use of knowledge and technology froone ahead with his plan anyway because he had been certain that once he executed his plan, things would work themselves out
The reincarnated individuals who had been born on Earth and gained additional experience in Origin should have naturally utilized their knowledge and technology fron worlds in Lambda They should have been able to display their abilities in all kinds of fields… Agriculture, fishi+ng, cuisine, clothing, economics and more
However, Rodcorte had predicted that Alda and the Gods who served hi as the reincarnated individuals were not unnaturally hasty and did not operate on a very large scale
The reincarnated individuals should have been born to parents in Laiven Lambdlike names Thus, Alda and his servants would have assumed that the inventions created by these reincarnated individuals had developed in Lambda independently, or even if they had noticed, they would have been unable to differentiate between knowledge and technologies fro from other worlds
Of course, the reincarnated individuals would draw attention to theies that would be unnatural for Launpowder and stea after the reincarnated individuals were brought to this world
The in would be ineffective if they were tried in Lambda Thus, extensive trial-and-error would be required, and it was possible that the resulting gunpoould have less explosive force than the average adventurer's martial skill or spell
On top of that, in order to create firearms and explosives, each part would need to be built from scratch Thus, Rodcorte had determined that many of the reincarnated individuals would lose the desire to build these things
As for steaines, even if they were invented, it would take a considerable aanization to make use of the invention In order to make that a reality, it would take at least a few years after the reincarnated individuals reached adulthood
And by then, the one hundred and one reincarnated individuals would have already planted their feet firures who could not easily be disposed of
If Alda noticed them at this point, it would already be too late Even if he were to give orders to his believers via Divine Messages, he was currently having proble Divine Messages If he was not careful, the Pope hter any individuals dee with the reincarnated individuals
Rodcorte had taken action with the assuain approval, little by little, after everything had already happened
Of course, dangerous roups already existed in Lambda But Rodcorte had already in so that they would be able to cope with these threats
With the use of their cheat-like abilities and talent for ic, they would all be able to demonstrate abilities on the level of Lambda's B-class adventurers
The exception was the reincarnated individual naiven the 'Object Creation' ability But all Rodcorte needed to do arn hiht away
And so, Rodcorte had predicted a positive outcome for himself The population of Lambda would increase over a hundred years, and the evil races of Vida… At least races such as the Majin and Vampires, if not the Beast-people, titans and Dark Elves that lived in urban areas as well, would be exterminated and decrease in nureat discrepancies in the tiin, partially due to an ano shape in the form of Vandalieu And due to the betrayal of three of the reincarnated individuals I sent to Lambda in adult bodies to exterminate Vandalieu, Alda has taken notice of them, despite the fact that the majority of the reincarnated individuals have not yet been reborn in Lahed
At this rate, the world of Laration systeer be a world that acted as a source of power for him In fact, it was very possible that Vandalieu's empire would cause it to become a world ruled by Undead, Monsters and Vida's races
”More i you to confir every three days, you know?!” said Aran
”It doesn't see so indecisive… Surely you're not thinking of… selling out Asagi and the others, like how you abandoned Saht?” asked Izumi
”We don't really care if you sell out Murakao as ested
”No You intend to escape and i the moment you arrive in Lambda, do you not?” said Rodcorte
”… Tch, you knew”
It was clear that Aran intended to try to do so was in his sight - regardless of whether this was actually possible or not
But Rodcorte looked down at Aran anda er”
In Earth's terms, Rodcorte had clearly violated the stipulations of his professional duties, committed unjust acts and one-sidedly trespassed into Alda's jurisdiction Naturally, the excuse of ”I did these with the good of the world in mind” would not work
Before Rodcorte sent the reincarnated individuals to Lao a slow decline over a long period of ti towards a foreseeable end
Considering that, there had been no need for Rodcorte to send a hundred reincarnated individuals ere capable of creating the gunpowder and steaines that Alda feared would harm this world
Thus, the responses available to Rodcorte were either honestly confessing and apologizing, defiantly defending his actions or lying to trick Alda
But there was not ht that it was possible to roup's story i, Mao as well as Kaoru Gotouta, who had left Murakaroup, did not trust Rodcorte, and he did not trust them either They were likely to si Pope with the qualities needed for receiving Divine Messages had been born on the Amid Empire side of the continent, and there were sidom as well Now that Alda could influence the selection of his believers into certain positions, it would not be difficult for him to learn of the locations of the reincarnated individuals and ask the what I have done and who Vandalieu is, and have the Vandalieu,” Rodcorte said
And thus, he decided to tell the truth and be defiant Firoing to work? Have you forgotten that angering the Gods will put you at risk as well?” said Kouya
”Endou Kouya, what you say is correct However, you are wrong No er Alda and the other Gods harbor, they cannot do anything to me There is a reason for that,” said Rodcorte
Rodcorte was in charge of reincarnation for Lambda's humans and anier take place correctly in La hie reincarnation in Rodcorte's place, they did not possess a single piece of the knowledge required to do so, as Rodcorte had operated Lambda's reincarnation since immediately after the world was born
The humans of Lambda would either be born without a soul, or as children with the hatred from their previous lives intact, while monsters and Vida's races would flourish, as they were reincarnated through the Deration systems
This was a scenario that Alda could not accept under any circu this, Rodcorte continued to give a summary of facts
”Alda and his servants are afraid that I will cut Lambda away from my system That is why they should not be able to punish me if I take a defiant stance Unlike Vida, Ricklent and Zuruwarn, I am not a God of Lambda, which otten this… Come to think of it, I suppose I should tell them that Ricklent and Zuruwarn are apparently allies of Vida Once Alda realizes that Gods that they believed were their allies are actually ene to cooperate with me”
Izu this explanation, and she gave a resigned sigh ”In other words, you're concealing it The fact that you've already becoed as a God of Lambda so you can't escape from this world anymore, no matter how much you try”
Rodcorte's plan would only have worked in the past, before he became known as a God of Lambda
He could not escape from Lambda… and if he could not cut Laration system, Alda would be able to punish Rodcorte as he would any other God
Naturally, he would be able to use the Stakes of Law to seal away Rodcorte's ability to think and act, leaving hi other than ration system It would even be possible to have his faarding reincarnation, then rob Rodcorte of his authority
However, Alda did not know that Rodcorte had become a God of Laion inside the Boundary Mountain Range, which was controlled by Vida's faction, where the eyes of Alda's forces could not see
As for Vida's faction… Even Vandalieu should have been unaware of the consequences on Rodcorte that spreading the news that he was a detestable God would have on him, so there was no way that Alda could learn of it from him
”It is helpful that you are quick to understand But just in case, I will silence you,” said Rodcorte, forcibly binding his familiar spirits to silence them with his authority as their master
Once he had done this, he headed for a place in the depths of his Divine Realm, a place that he rarely visited himself
His fanoring the faint presence that they could feel behind the to focus on their discontent towards Rodcorte instead
They had taken anti-interrogation training in Origin; it was siet about ss
”Even if I take a defiant stance, it is still likely that there will be consequences,” Rodcortethe one hundred reincarnated individuals, there is nothing I can do about theardless of my actions, but… I suppose that it is reasonable for unpowder or steaain”
A sworn pro force, like a curse Rodcorte was far above Alda in stature as a God, but this was so that fell into the authority of Alda, the God of law and fate It could not be easily avoided
But Rodcorte did notrisk upon hi in that direction
Rodcorte had already tried to abandon Lambda once; whether the world developed or not was a very small problem to him now
”The problem is whether he will demand for me to hand these over… but even Alda would likely hesitate to do that,” Rodcorte murmured
The problem for Rodcorte nohether he could keep the object that was sealed away here - the object that could beco Vandalieu - at hand
The De Guduranis's soul, which had been torn into five pieces - his reason, emotion, instinct,was defeated by Bellwood and two other champions, it was none other than Alda who had forced this upon Rodcorte
At the ti but a dangerous object But Alda had said to hi were to be resurrected, he would not stop at this world… he ht extend his invasion to other worlds, worlds whose circles of trans been told this, Rodcorte had been left with no choice but to cooperate
The soul had remained in the depths of Rodcorte's Divine Realm for over a hundred thousand years, with so many seals that they could be considered excessive, and nobody other than Rodcorte could approach it
Rodcorte had been thinking that it could be used as a truainst Vandalieu Of course, he would not do soain with him to make him defeat Vandalieu… Rodcorte could not put hi his own soul destroyed by a resurrected Guduranis
No h his stature was as a God, Rodcorte was nothing more than the God of reincarnation He was not skilled at co e frame
”If I could place the memories and power of Guduranis, which do not contain his will, inside reincarnated individuals that are compatible… But they are likely to be co Vandalieu as reference, someone with similar Mana properties to those of Guduranis should be able to use them,” Rodcorte muttered to himself
”In other words, someone with death-attribute Mana or someone who actually possessed the power to oppose and control death-attribute Mana would be able to utilize the frag's soul The reason, eerous, but it should be possible to use Guduranis's memories and pohich did not contain his will, just like the fragments of his body
However, none of the three roup had either of these If he were to give the frage out of control very quickly
Rodcorte had granted 'Mage Masher' Asagi the power to erase Mana with an attribute, but… it was unlikely to work He would resist for longer than Murakae out of control in the end
”I suppose I shall give this to Muraka's soul, but… there is no use in giving them a power that they cannot wield”
Rodcorte turned his gaze away fro's soul and looked instead towards some distorted orbs They were objects that looked as if the fragether again
Two of thee and one sments of their previous owners' soulswill, he should be able to suppress them And in the end, it is his decision as to whether or not to use them”
And with that, Rodcorte took the Orbs and returned to the center of his Divine Realenie of ti man and a boy, who sat in a temporarily-created Divine Realm and 'observed' his believers
They were very odd; the oldwith a co bitterly and the boy had a joyful smile on his face
Suddenly, Zuruwarn, the God of space and creation, who took the fore are the actions of your believers?” Zuruwarn asked
Ricklent grie about the to my words,” he replied
”Then have they understood our instructions to place distance between the Church of Alda and cooperate with Vida's races and Vida's true believers?”
Naturally, Ricklent and Zuruere aware that the Gods of Alda's forces hadto create hastily-made heroes They were also aware that this was all to defeat Vida's faction, which was recovering strength under Vandalieu's lead
That hy they had made moves of their own to press their own believers to separate themselves from the Church of Alda and join Vida's faction
There were few believers who could receive their Divine Messages, but many of those who could were in positions to lead other believers, so this should not be an iave instructions to over ten individuals excluding Legion, and I have been observing the e after that, but… if I were to put their response into words, it would be so like, 'We cannot respond immediately We shall consider our options,'” said Ricklent
”… Ricklent, is that not a rather unfavorable response?” said Zuruwarn
”You are right, my brother”
Those who had received Ricklent's Divine Message had reacted with varying degrees of surprise, and then decided to keep quiet while scrutinizing theinfor the situation
It was uncertain as to whether the Divine Message they received was correct… Whether the God who had sent it to the it
Ricklent felt tremendous love and pride for his believers who doubted even the words of Gods
”I do not preach what is good, nor do I indicate what is evil I aic Thus, those orshi+p ators and students,” he said ”To theuide and a leader, and at the same time, I am a subject of their research It is necessary for the the actions of their research subject, by doubting and by thoroughly exa until they are satisfied, that huain… Don't you enjoy suffering a little toolike the speech of a God ”Well, your believers are es' Guild, or secluded philosophers, so they ht not be of any help even if they do join Vida's believers, though”
”Then how are your beloved followers?” Ricklent asked in turn
”Do you wish to know? Then you should ask thee to all of my folloho seem as if they can receive them I have not looked at them since, so I do not know!” Zuruwarn replied proudly
This tih as Zuruwarn's four heads laughed
”… So, you sie and then left them be,” said Ricklent
