Chapter 1121 (1/2)
“Therefore, I –”
“On this occasion –”
“GRRRRR!”
“Following the precedent –”
Zuruwarn, the God of space and creation, the God with the for with a God of another world
… Though these were supposed to be negotiations, Zuruwarn hiotiating at some point
Could a repeated exchange of persuasive words, hu offers, provocations and verbal abuse be called negotiating?
If the overall goal is to negotiate, then it could be called negotiating regardless of the ords are spoken in the process, I suppose? Zuruwarn thought
The one he was negotiating as the God of 'Earth,' the world in which Vandalieu of Lain had lived their first lives
Though the appearance of this God was grotesque even in Zuruwarn's eyes, it was also tremendous
At a glance, it looked as if every single God, hero, divine servant, fairy, ghost and deified historical figure froathered in a single room
And yet they were all a single God
There were countless worlds, and there were numerous orlds and Gods could come into existence
The inning and creating a world The world that Zuruwarn caory
The secondhis followers andGuduranis had led the evil Gods in an invasion on the world of Laed victorious, Laory
And the least common was the one that applied to 'Earth'
Living organis world, evolve, and then the God would be created by the religions of those organisms
In a way, it was the purest forion
“Judging from this –”
“We must also consider our position –”
“You are too noisy! Silence!”
“I want to request you to do so of you”
That hy the 'God of Earth' was troublesome and complicated in various ways
It could be bluntly described as soe number of personalities, with all of those personalities constantly displaying therew as the people of Earth prayed to new Gods
And because there were so many of these personalities, this God rarely influenced what happened on the world's surface like the Gods of Lambda did It was in a state of Gods and deht next to each other Their individual divinities interfered with each other, and in the end, it was only able to produce small miracles from time to time
The Gods who had lost their believers and whose legends andor fuse with other Gods, but it seemed that recently, the birth of all kinds of new Gods was faster than the rate at which the older Gods were disappearing
Seeing that even the subjects of fearful urban legends and characters fro added to the God, Zuruished he could share some of that creativity with the people of Larowth a little?
The negotiations between the God of Earth a hundred thousand years ago and negotiations with the God of Origin went smoothly, but… I will not have otiations, so perhaps I ought to enjoy this
Zuruwarn, as able to find enjoyotiations with the 'God of Earth'
Muraka a sandwich that he had bought while listening to the news co from the radio at a food stall
“Sensei, why are you still listening to that radio?” asked Tsuchiya Kanako, as sitting opposite him
“I told you before, didn't I?” said Muraka hacked, but if we use a radio, we can't be hacked Also, stop it with the 'Sensei'”
“Eh, but Sensei is Sensei, right?”
On Earth, Murakae of the field trip Also, he was the homeroom teacher of the class that Amai and Tsuchiya Kanako were in
It wasn't wrong for Kanako and Murakami's other for reincarnated in Origin, but Murakami himself didn't like this
“I've never taught you guys anything in this world,” said Murakae, aren't we? I'll tell you this now because I have the time to say it, but just because I was a teacher in my previous life doesn't mean you should force that title on me now”
“Ah, come to think of it, you wanted to be a professional athlete instead of a teacher in your previous life?” said Kanako
“That's right,” said Muraka internationally was h h”
If the salesperson at the food stall or other custoht have been bewildered A sport by the nain
However, there was a sport that was played all over the world, involving hitting a ball between two people using racquets But as the use of certain types of ic was also allowed, it was a battle of both physique and ic, so it was a sport with quite different rules from the tennis of Earth
After being reincarnated in Origin and experiencing his second youth, Murakami had aiiven hiic, as well as physical abilities, reflexes and perception ofobjects that were superior to those that he had possessed on Earth And by secretly using his cheat-like ability as well, despite having been an average tennis player during his school days on Earth, Murakain that even professionals had reached out to him
… But that was all in the past now
“But you used to be an idol as well, right?” said Murakami
“Uwah~!” Kanako gasped “You're going to bring that up, Sensei?”
“I'm not your Sensei,” said Murakaed woman”
On Earth, Tsuchiya Kanako had been an ordinary high school girl, but in Origin, she had been a well-known idol But rather than this being due to reasons such as her having a far superior physical appearance to the one she had on Earth, being exceptionally talented at singing, dancing and acting or being powerfully promoted by her producers, it was all due to her cheat-like ability
And this was all in the past for her as well
The reason that their dreams had been cut short was because of Aanization of the reincarnated individuals, the 'Bravers,' and openly announced to the world that they had special abilities Because of this, it had become clear that Murakaic, powers that couldn't be explained by the principles that existed in Origin
There was no way of proving that these two had used their powers during their matches and auditions, but with the existence of their poidely known, they had become unable to work in their respective industries
At the time, Amemiya Hiroto had said, “If we continue to only misuse our powers and that misuse becomes knoill have too many enemies to survive in this world” Reluctantly, Murakareed It was true that there had been soate Murakaure out the secret behind their success Murakami in particular had been suspected by other players to be using soic that they didn't know of
Even if Aht have only been awas discovered
And for a little while afterwards, the two of theh the Bravers' activities They received attention by doing things like disaster relief work, and the attention and applause they got when they put on shows displaying some of their cheat-like abilities was, in a way, similar to the attention that a professional athlete and idol would receive
But two incidents shook the world and changed these circumstances
The first was the death attribute extinction incident, in which the Undead at the secret laboratory in a military nation, which was non by a different na all kinds of products to the rest of the world After this incident, the Bravers' activities and nature as an organization changed
They went fro heroes who rescued people fro in the killing of other hus that they didn't want to be involved in Even if they used hollow justifications like saying that they were solving huainst terroris in bloody battles to the death
And the second incident hat the media, tabloid newspapers and talk shows had dubbed the 'fallen hero incident,' where Kaidou Kanata had been murdered by shi+houin Mari
The criht cri of the sort; they were horrid, bloody acts that only scum would carry out
Fortunately, they had coht because shi+houin Mari, a fellow Braver, had edy, the public i was avoided to soan to doubt the ability of the leader, Aer the perfect heroes they once were in the eyes of society
And then, before long, Murakami and around ten other members left the Bravers
He had invited those who had been his students on Earth, asking the heroes and deny theanization that had no integrity or innocence
That hen the radio delivered news that a terrorist bo had occurred at the Bravers' headquarters
“By the way, did you e to kill Aran and Izumi-san?” Kanako asked “They've still only announced that there were 'many wounded'”
As Aran and Izumi had concluded after their deaths, this incident was a crianization that Murakami and his followers had joined
“They should be dead,” said Murakami “The 'Gazer' said it as well, didn't he? That those tould be killed by my hands that day And that 'Enma' assured us that they were dead as well”
TLN: This word is read “enma” in japanese but refers to Yaes the dead
The 'Gazer' was a foranization with Murakami… or rather, been kidnapped by Murakami and his followers She had the 'Future Prediction' ability, and though she couldn't control it, it was a perfect prediction ability unlike the 'Oracle' and 'Calculation' abilities It gave her premonitions of important, unforeseen events that involved her
But she had been unable to withstand the grotesque ies that she saw in her pres; she was completely addicted and had essentially beco before Kanata's evil deeds had coht
She had been kidnapped from the medical facility that she had been placed in, and now she was a puppet of 'Pluto'… perhaps brainwashed, Pluto's devout follower
And 'Enhth Guidance's members For some reason, he apparently knew the names and faces of people who had died in the past Since he wasn't one of the people who had reincarnated from Earth, it was likely to be the effect of some kind of spell, but Murakami and the others didn't know the exact details
“There wouldn't be any reason for Gazer and Enma to lie,” Murakami continued “And we even used Kanata's memento that ent to a lot of effort to preserve If we failed to kill the loss”
“Definitely,” Kanako agreed “Still, I wonder what Pluto-san and the others want to achieve? I thought it was revenge at first, but they seem too indifferent for that But then, they don't seee sense of justice, either They kill people for reasons that I can't figure out, but then they go and do charitable work as well”
“Who knows,” said Murakaoes on in the heads of fanatics Well, it's fine as long as they keep letting us use them until our work is done”
Having finished eating his sandwich, Muraka paper and threw it in a random direction
“Is that a disrespectful act to avoid the Oracle?” Kanako asked “Was littering a crime in these areas?”
“Yeah, you get fined for it,” said Muraka it”
The 'Oracle' answered the questions of its owner, Endou Kouya, but Murakami knew that the way it answered the questions was very inflexible
That hy these two had killed shi+ soain before disappearing
And the two of them disappeared into the croell
The international terrorist organization, the Eighth Guidance, was quite different to other terrorists
Their actions were entirely focused on destroying institutions conducting research on death-attributethe researchers And the murder of the Bravers These were selectively-conducted crimes
Yes, selectively
No ious objectives terrorists may have, the reason the amount of support that they could receive was limited was because their criical weapons, poison and, in Origin, edies caused by these nant women and even the friends, acquaintances and relatives of terrorist supporters who happened to be within the vicinity of such incidents
In some cases, the terrorist supporters themselves could become victims This was the reason
However, the Eighth Guidance was extreets The only people it had directly killed were the euards, bodyguards and soldiers defending them Only shi+mada Izu with staff le scratch had been caused to anyone uninvolved
And in addition to business with sponsors to secure funds to keep the organization going, the Eighth Guidance also engaged in philanthropic work that wouldn't yield thele cent in profit
Most importantly, they did not desire new members
Thus, the Bravers and people of the crianizations ere specialized in dealing with the Eighth Guidance considered the like a very peculiar cult rather than a terrorist organization
