Chapter 521 (2/2)
If a God's brain was a supercoeneration handheld console That hy it was necessary for Alda to choose a powerful individual ae in order to ensure that he and the believer were on the sath
If he were to choose an unskillful individual, they e at all and could ht not even realize that they had heard a divine e
That hy it was correct to send only short, sies to chosen saints
It would be different if Alda were to descend upon the earth like he did during the age of the Gods or welcome the souls of heroes such as Mikhail into the Divine Realm after death
“Would they accept your will even if it is conveyed?” asked Curatos “We subordinate Gods and servants have been conde Vida's races as evil up until now, after all”
“As the people could be told about the transration syste in the nareat justice, but… it seems that this has backfired”
Alda believed that the races that had been created through breeding withthem, but with modes of life such as that of the Vampires, roots of evil would be left behind in the future They were destroying much of the world's current order
The ways Vampires lived, as well as the appearances of Lareatly differed from those of the people Because of this many of the people believed Alda's words and treated theets to be exterminated
However, as Alda had o, there were some members of Vida's races who had been accepted by society That hy Curatos and Yupeon, the God of ice, had been declaring that those races were evil in Alda's name – so that they would be destroyed
Destroying a transration system would require the use of an ability to destroy the soul like the De's, or the elimination of the destinations for the reincarnated souls… the killing of every single individual living creature that the souls could reincarnate in Exceptions could not be made because they were virtuous or because they were a part of society
“Now then, how should I handle this?” Alda wondered aloud His thoughts were hectic, but he was truly devoted to his work as a God
He was spreading across the world of Laht attribute that he ruled over and the life attribute that he had stolen from Vida
Norht Gods of the attributes and three other Gods, Marduke, Zerno and Gangpaplio
However, as a result of the war against the Deainst Vida, Alda was the only one reh the re subordinate Gods of Zantark and shi+zarion sharing their ement
However, in order to take away Vida and her subordinate Gods' divinity and prevent the revived, Alda had stolen her authority over the life attribute
Because of this, Alda now had to e the life attribute that he was not specialized in His subordinate Gods were assisting him with it, but it was not his specialty, so it would not beconificant asset in battle
This would be like requesting the members of a professional football team to produce favorable results as sumo wrestlers without any decrease in skill
Increasing the number of subordinate Gods proficient with the life attribute would solve the proble to Godhood did not coious individuals for hi, after all
“A certain solution would be to have Rodcorte manipulate his syste subordinate Gods,” said Alda “However…”
Bringing individuals fro them work for Alda, even if for only a few hundred years, would lessen the burden on Alda and his follohile increasing their strength to fight against the evil Gods
But Curatos shook his head
“That God's response would certainly be, 'I cannot use my system in an arbitrary manner,'” said Curatos
“There is no doubt about that,” Alda said in agreement
Though Rodcorte had become quiet as of late, that did nothelp from him would be futile
“My lord, how about searching for new subordinate Gods?” Curatos suggested “There are three current candidates of at least heroic spirit status” He opened the thick book in his hand and showed Alda the candidates to become subordinate Gods in the records within
The reason that they werehow their vessels would turn out until the moment their lives ended No uide the people could not become Gods and those who the people did not admire could not become heroic spirits
At lamentable as it was, nameless heroes could not reach the Divine Realm
Three was actually a large nule moment in time The name of one of them… disappeared
“My apologies,” said Curatos “It appears that one of them has turned to Vida's side”
“… I see He has likely either fallen to the teh to become a Demon”
Methods of transfor people into members of Vida's races were harmful to the real world
“The other two are Bormack Gordan and Heinz, are they?” Alda knew of those two Gordan was a zealous believer… a little too zealous at tiht Vampires at the frontlines His power as a hero was rather low, but he was top class in the fact that he was a shi+ning exemplar for the people
But the expedition into the Boundary Mountain Range that had recently begun was to be his last job; it see to withdraw froeneration after that
He was si this expedition he would be able to slay the Dhampir that had escaped him before so that he could retire with a clear conscience
… At this moment, Alda was still unaware that this Dhampir, Vandalieu, had been reincarnated in La inforration systeh prayer by High Priest Gordan
Though he was a little suspicious about the Dhampir, he was satisfied with the explanation that the Dharation system
When Alda and the other Gods had summoned champions in the past, Rodcorte had made the unreasonable demand that the champions should be sent back i that, even a God could never have iined that Rodcorte would have sent hu full well that he had prohibited Alda and the other Gods fro so
Alda ran his eyes over the recording data regarding Heinz
Heinz was another of Alda's followers, an individual who had become an class adventurer in less than ten years He had h power, but his achieve to be called a hero
Perhaps it was best for Alda to bestow him a divine protection to assist hi
Wavering was fine Both Gods and people's thoughts grew deeper through hesitation A divine protection wasto assist the one it was bestowed upon, a reward for the things they had achieved It could not beco that would bind the believer down
It was likely that Alda would need to carefully observe Heinz, hoping that his hesitation would lead him to the correct answer
But it was also necessary to make preparations in advance
“Notify Rodcorte of these two,” Alda ordered
For the conversion of a hero into the follower of a God after his death rather than creating a new servant through divine power, it was necessary for Rodcorte to be notified in advance Even if he was a believer of Alda, it was not Alda who controlled the circle of trans too forceful on his own, it would cause defects in the system
“As you wish,” said Curatos
“Also, gather those who are not occupied in this place, including the subordinate Gods of the Gods of the other attributes I would like to speak to the to happen from now on”
“Yes,hi the tasks that Alda had given him
“It would be good if a second Bellould be born a the people…” Alda looked up at the sky of the Divine Realhts turned to the distant past
When Zuruwarn, the God of space and creation, suggested that champions should be su, Alda had been skeptical He could not understand why cha would risk their lives and fight for the sake of this world Was there not a risk that they would betray the Gods and turn to the De's side?
However, Vida sided with Zuruwarn, saying that bold actions were needed to deal with the situation that they were faced with
And because the God of reincarnation could not be relied upon for assistance, the opinions of Zuruwarn and Vida were supported by the others
Zuruwarn opened a gate to another world and the other seven Gods including Alda each chose and summoned a worthy champion
The one Alda summoned was Suzuki Shouhei, ould later become the champion Bellwood Vida had summoned Sakado Keisuke, ould later becoside them descended upon Lambda
They were extraordinary saviors They did have conflicting opinions, but they ed to have discussions that led to better solutions to problems
Bellwood in particular was the ideal cha in battle, but he possessed great courage, fighting against large hordes of monsters on the frontlines Most ihts
Bellwood grieved over Lambda's history, culture and civilization that was lost as a result of the fierce battle against the Deretted that several components of civilizations froe spoken by the people
“Aldsama, I love this world This world that is so different from the world I lived in before, this wonderful world After the De is defeated and peace returns, this world will become a far better than the world I came from” These had been Bellwood's words
It was quite possible that conflict was inevitable between the group of Bellwood and Alda and the group of Zakkart and Vida who asserted that the knowledge from other words should be proactively taken in by this one
Now that I look back on it, that was a mistake
Alda was deep in reainst the De were hireement with his opinions, and Vida
But at that point, Vida had already lost her trust in Alda She likely could not forgive Bellwood for abandoning Zakkart during the battle, even if it was a necessary decision to be made to achieve victory
No, it seemed that Vida suspected that Alda and the others had planned things in a way that Zakkart would fall
The rift between Alda and Vida grew deeper, and though the De had been torn into pieces and sealed away, the two surviving Gods fought against each other
I should have given deep thought to Vida's words, acknowledged that there were parts that I could agree upon and given reasons for the parts that I could not
This world's nor; even the Gods themselves knew this Alda and Vida in particular were two Gods with very different senses of values
In the past, shi+zarion, Ricklent, Marduke, Ganpaplio and the others would step between them and remonstrate them Zuruwarn and Peria would finalize decisions based on everyone's opinions However, they were all now slu or had been destroyed
If trust had been preserved between us, perhaps Vida would not have done reckless things such as creating her own transht Alda But he also thought that he would have only reconsidered which things should be prioritized; he would never have s that he had previously forbidden
Because if he were to es to his mistaken doctrine, that would mean that all of his believers orshi+pped him had also been mistaken
Most importantly, those who had been victies
It was also for the sake of those who had been labeled as 'evil' and buried that Alda could not change the definition of as 'right'
“My lord! This is a serious matter!”
At that ed Alda had not seen such a look of disainst Vida
“Somebody has destroyed the Artifact that was a clone of Yupeon, the God of ice!”
“W-what did you say?!” Alda showed deep unrest upon hearing Curatos's report
Because such a thing would only be possible for someone who possessed the ability to break souls like the De
“The De has appeared… Either e must first find out who destroyed Yupeon's clone,” said Alda
So the ability to break souls had to be destroyed, no matter who it was The war could not be allowed to repeat itself
