Chapter 1206 (2/2)

nobody knew exactly what had happened, but Murakami was the only one to instinctively realize it

This was the 'death' that Pluto had accumulated for almost ten years This immense amount of death was supposed to have been poured into Naruo and it was overflowing!

“S-Sensei! What happened?!” Doug shouted

“Don't think about it, we're getting out of here!” Murakami shouted back with a completely different expression “You're in the way, move!” He cast a spell towards the exit that was flooded with Hexagon e with the door

Screaments of bone and flesh filled the air

“W-what are you doing?! If you slaughter the employees of the national state of defense, you'll be questioned for treason!” Melissa shouted at the apparently deranged Murakami

Doug and Kanako stared at him, dumbfounded

“I don't give a shi+t! Hurry up and start running!” Murakami said as he broke off into a sprint

When the other three looked behind theh the reinforced glass

Melissa, Doug and Kanako watched the s feled noises as she was ed and they hastily ran after Murakami

However, they quickly caught up to him

“Th-this is bad, we're surrounded!” Murakami muttered

The passageway in front of hieway that led to the elevator that would take theround surface, was filled with black smoke

The black sht

“M-Melissa, use Aegis, protect us with Aegis!”

“Y-yes!”

“Doug, break the ceiling! We'll escape through there!”

“Alright!”

The four of theis's shi+eld And then Doug opened a hole in the ceiling with his telekinesis Rubble rained down, but Doug sent it flying with his telekinesis as he tried to continue digging

If he could continue digging like this all the way to the surface, they would be saved Or so the four of the

“D-Doug?!”

“W-what is this s it even with your abilities is bad…!”

Kanako let out a screa's body, leaving behind only skin and bones He collapsed with a dull thud

“You can't touch it with your abilities, either?! Melissa, you…!” Murakaan as he turned around to see that Melissa was already dead, having becois doesn't work?!”

“Wall of Water and Wall of Ice disappear right away as well! This fog absorbs Mana?!” Kanako was trying to build walls with spells, but it see absorbed not only life force but Mana as well; her spells simply vanished like mist

And with Melissa's death, the Aegis had been undone The black fog closed in on the re two relentlessly

“C-Chronos!”

Muraka to delay the effects of the black smoke, but he could only do so for a few dozen seconds

His Mana was absorbed with incredible speed; even his second ability, Super Mana Recovery, couldn't keep up with it

Kanako screamed in despair “This, I don't want to die like this, why?! Why?!”

“shi+T! You knew this would happen, and you set us up, Rikudou! damn it! CURSE YOOOUUUU!” Murakami roared

The two of them watched each other turn into mummies as they perished

The death attribute that the federal state's Hexagon had been researching went out of control, causing the deaths of all Hexagon e at the time, as well as Murakami Junpei and three other former Bravers

The black, fog-like substance engulfed the grounds of the national defense department and tried to spread even further

The arently summoned to counteract this, but they weren't even able to slon the spreading of the fog

Just as the flustered cabinetthe president to fire a nuclear on, the Bravers, who with eyes of suspicion, arrived on the scene

At the 'Avalon' Rikudou Hijiri's suggestion, the Bravers used a plan centered around light and life-attributeAme that covered the Hexagon

At a athered, Rikudou Hijiri was repeatedly joining his fingers together and separating the to be restless

“What's theout to him “It's unusual for you to be so restless, isn't it?”

Hijiri gave a bitter smile “This is a bad habit of o too well If there was a plan that I would consider a great success if it accooals, and then it went and acco it hard to believe, right?”

The chain of events for which Rikudou Hijiri had pulled the strings Everyone as an obstruction or a danger to him had now disappeared, save for one person

Those who had been obstacles to his plans, forcing him to build roundabout plans – the 'Oracle' Endou Kouya, Calculation, Inspector, Gazer and one more person

Those with abilities that had posed a danger to hie Masher

The ones he had used to dispose of the above-mentioned individuals, the ones who had known that he was the ar people whom he couldn't trust because they would betray their allies for unimportant reasons – the 'Chronos' Murakami Junpei and six others

And those who obstructed hi the death attribute – the Eighth Guidance members who harbored death-attribute Mana within them, as well as the survivors fro in the Hexagon to conduct research into death-attribute ic

Hijiri had succeeded in having all of the his own hands, except for one

“The only one left is Amemiya Hiroto, huh,” one of his cooperators murmured

“The Braver… the hero is tenacious, after all,” said another

“No, it's not like that at all If he, the leader, were to disappear, there's a chance that ability-users in the Bravers organization would scatter It's athered in one place It's more convenient to utilize them, and dispose of the his cooperators

In fact, he had made his plans to ensure that Amemiya Hiroto wouldn't be killed by Pluto It wasn'tHiroto as in the way

“Naruse Narumi… no, Amemiya Naru her”

The death of the 'Angel,' Naruse Narumi This was the only objective of this chain of events that had not been accomplished

“It was unexpected that she was in the early stages of pregnancy, but… I suppose thewas that Pluto was more of a romanticist than I'd expected,” Hijiri said

“Unless you were being served by the Goddess of destiny, bringing about all of your desired results under those circumstances would have been impossible Or is that one of the abilities you possess?” asked one of the cooperators

“No As I explained to you people, the abilities I possess are Increased Learning Speed and Unlimited Development”

The 'Avalon' Rikudou Hijiri He was the reincarnated individual who had received the plainest cheat-like abilities ae and skills more quickly than others, and the ability to develop as a person with no limits, were not abilities that he could show others and say, “Behold, my powers!”

He hadn't been used to draft plans like the 'Oracle' Endou Kouya, nor had he been noticed like the 'Noah' Mao for the convenience of his abilities He was also unable to act on the field using only his abilities, like Death Scythe, Hecatoncheir and Gungnir had done

But using his abilities, he had studied diligently and had becoic specialist This was the result of hiic while the other reincarnated individuals struggled to learn to use their abilities

And because of this, Hijiri had a certain aathered people to join his side to turn these ambitions into reality, and they had now asse

Meious officials, those in the political and business fields, rounds

Hijiri separated his fingers once more and pointed at the monitor that displayed all of these people as he addressed them

“Now then, let's leave the reflection at that Today is a celebratory party Fro onto a road towards a new human race that has evolved both physically and spiritually First of all, ill acquire the power of the 'Undead'… the person as supposed to become the 101st Braver!”

Quite early on, Rikudou Hijiri had arrived at the truth that the 'Undead' had been one of the reincarnated individuals… probably Amamiya Hiroto, whom Naruse Narumi had mistakenAmemiya Hiroto for

He had come to this conclusion from the fact that the 'Undead' had enjoyed rice at the research laboratory in which he was raised

The Undead had desired not meat, fish or sweets, but rice He had been Asian, but raised in a European culture Despite being raised in a laboratory, where the only food he knew should have been as fed to him, the Undead had desired rice

Other people ht have simply assumed that he had heard one of the workers at the laboratory talking about rice, but Hijiri was different

The time he was born is around the same time as us, too Wasn't he reincarnated from japan as well?

Having instinctively realized this, Hijiri had destroyed the docu the fact that the Undead had desired rice

And then, with the hypothesis that the Undead was a reincarnated individual, he'd started his own independent research into the death attribute

“This is reasoning stacked upon reasoning, but let me declare this Our hands shall reach the death attribute! And through the death attribute, ill evolve into a new humanity!” Hijiri said

Hijiri's cooperators stirred and cheered, and they gave a round of applause

Rikudou Hijiri's ambition was to develop in a way that truly transcended all limits

Due to the effects of Unlimited Development, it was possible for hi a superhuman

But even then, he would still be within the restrictions of being a 'superhuman'

If he continued studying diligently for the decades to come, Rikudou Hijiri would likely leave his naical mastery of a God

But he would not be a God

Even if he pushed his skill with row old and die Froe person's perspective, he may appear to be omnipotent, but in reality, he would be limited in all kinds of ways, far from omnipotent

Most importantly, his body was too frail

No matter how much it develops, the time it takes for the brain's coans, internal organs, muscle, bone, they're all too weak My ability only removes the restriction of develop that canother than a human

But if he were to ic –

That will be the moment I become a member of a new human race beyond the homo sapiens… No, I will become a God!

As his cooperators gave hi desire to beco reaffirmed his deter others as seeds to nurture his growth

Muraka Atlas, Melissa J Sautome, deceased

Re reincarnated individuals: 79

Coin was

Like the God of Earth, it was a being that had been created after huination

It was far smaller than Earth's, but it had split into nuendary and s, and these all existed simultaneously

It was in a state where angels and demons were constantly in direct contact with each other, and thus, its separate components had interfered with each other ever since its birth

As a result of a negotiation with Zuruwarn, the God of space and creation, a God froin le purpose

That purpose was to deliver the souls of the hth Guidance to Zuruwarn, who resided in the foreign world of Lambda

Normally, the rebirth of all souls was under Rodcorte's jurisdiction Interfering with this was a grave violation of the rules

However, the God of Origin had plenty of reason to commit this act

After all, Rodcorte had reincarnated a hundred and one individuals in Origin froiven all but one of them special abilities

And the reason he'd done that was so that they could use Origin as a tutorial… a practice ground, before being reincarnated in Lambda

Both the God of Origin's divine beings and deed by this

That hy God of Origin cooperated with Zuruwarn

As the souls of the Eighth Guidance tried to obey the rules and return to Rodcorte, one of the divine beings in charge of the afterlife and reincarnation stopped them and sent them to Zuruwarn As Rodcorte tried to interfere with this, all of the res drove him off

As a God, Rodcorte had the upper hand in power and personal history However, this was Origin The only ones who knew of Rodcorte's existence were the reincarnated individuals, of whohty remained

There was no way that all of the Gods of Origin's human race would be defeated by him

The God of Origin had the feeling that it had accidentally picked up one different soul, but a divine being of love, awith the rest, and s and spiritual h the trouble of separating that one soul out, so the God of Origin simply sent all of these souls to Zuruwarn

Zuruwarn, the God with the appearance of a winged, four-headed lion, awaited the souls of the Eighth Guidance

Vandalieu had already created a vessel for them to be reincarnated into once the souls were received

“At first, he sih it's a coincidence, it's incredible that he's taken the base form of life with no soul and the base forether As expected of Vandalieu, as once those four”

Zakkart, Ark, Solder and Hill Vandalieu was living up to the expectations of possessing a soul born froments of those four

“Now, all there's left to do is to place the souls in the vessel in order, and wait for new lives to be born I' forward to it~”

Zuruwarn had always had the personality of a trickster One of the things that he was looking forward to was this endeavor that would likely enrage Alda, the God of law and fate

His original goal had been to send Vandalieu allies to prove that he was not Vandalieu's enemy, however

“The God of earth's reactions are slow; the new siblings are still wandering about Ricklent is still groggy fro to work under these circumstances?”

As Zuruwarn talked to hihth Guidance's souls arrived

“Alright? … Hmm? It seems that there's one unneeded one? … Hmm, hmm, so that's how it is”

Deciding that this didn'tthat of the 'Gazer' Minuma Hitomi, into the vessel created by Vandalieu

But at that moment, Rodcorte's enormous hand extended towards him

“Hand those souls over!” Rodcorte demanded

“Zuruwarn! Take those souls and pull back for now!” shouted Ricklent, the genie of tiic, as he tried to stop that enormous hand However, he couldn't even buy any time for Zuruwarn

“How persistent of you, to chase me all the way to Lambda!” Zuruwarn muttered

Rodcorte's hand sent Ricklent flying aside and grasped at Zuruwarn, trying to take the souls that he was holding

This place was a part of Lambda, the world where Zuruwarn and Ricklent orshi+pped Norin, they would have been able to repel Rodcorte

However, unlike the God of Origin, Zuruwarn and Ricklent were in wounded states; they had continued using their powers despite not having completely recovered froainst the De

For Rodcorte, this was littlecandy from a baby

I won't let you take thes into Rodcorte's arless act of resistance The ae that Rodcorte took was equivalent to welts appearing on his arm

However, that dae caused Rodcorte's arm to stop

“Now's the time! Go, my souls!”

Using the single iven to hi into the vessel

“The reincarnation has already been completed! Leave this place!” Ricklent shouted

With a groan of frustration, Rodcorte's ar more that he could do

No matter how much power he had, he could not step outside his jurisdiction Having only a single authority was Rodcorte's weakness

Zuruwarn let out a sigh of relief froht?” he asked Ricklent

“It's nothing serious But…” Ricklent looked at Zuruith a grimace

Zuruwarn nodded “I know Things have become troublesome Rodcorte has found out that we've become Vandalieu's allies”

Up until this point, Rodcorte would have been under the assumption that the Gods of La the divine that were currently active

However, Zuruwarn and Ricklent were Vandalieu's allies… Hoould things turn out now that Rodcorte knew that they had started directly interfering with him?

But Ricklent shook his head, as he continued gri at Zuruwarn, his brother “No, that's not it,” he said “Brother, you have ignored all of the procedures that I set as the God of ic, haven't you?”

The souls of the Eighth Guidance were supposed to be reincarnated into the vessel one at a ti several spells during the process, even

But Zuruwarn had simply driven all of the souls into the vessel at once

“… Ah,” said Zuruwarn

“That's not what you should be saying”

“But it was an eency situation… Look, the vessel seems to contain the souls now, so hasn't the reincarnation succeeded?”

“Indeed, the reincarnation has happened”

The two Gods looked at the vessel… the basic life for Vida's relic, as it burbled and squirmed fiercely

“… Even I can't iine what form they will be reincarnated in,” said Ricklent

Have I s up for the first time in a while? Zuruondered, but he decided to bla on Rodcorte

“Well, I'm sure it ork out And Rodcorte is the one at fault Now then, I'otiations with the God of Earth, so I'll leave the rest to you,” Zuruwarn said, and then he left

“He ran away…” Ricklent let out a deep sigh and decided that for now, he would keep watch over the vessel containing the souls of all of the hth Guidance and the 'Gazer' Minuma Hitomi
