Chapter 1301 (2/2)

“Can I have a word?” said a voice

“Uwah! … It's you What do you want?”

Aran had thought that everyone had left with Murakais' Melissa J Sautome had remained behind

“I have a question Origin and Lambda are different worlds, so why can Vandalieu use death-attribute ic in the same way?” she asked

Aran was confused by Melissa's question, but he quickly decided that it was fine and gave an answer “It's not that he can use it in the same way; it just looks that way The fine points should be different… I think To begin with, death-attribute ht not be relevant for a previously-undiscovered foreign ic”

Aran and the others didn't know this, but the truth was that the Counter ability of Ereshkigal, who had becoe received from the last enemy that had attacked

Of course, Vandalieu had relearned death-attribute ained in previous life not carried over,' so he wasn't aware of any differences froin

“I see… then in the end, it's likely that he can do the sas I have another question Does Vitality in Lambda apply in all cases? Like when someone's throat is cut by a knife or when they receive an attack that ignores defenses?” Melissa asked

“Wow, that's quite a dangerous question… it generally applies,” Aran said “Of course, the a on where the attack hits, so it's not less to aim for vital spots But you can consider it iuard and die froular person”

On Earth and in Origin, no matter how battle-hardened a hero was, they could die very simply However, in Lambda, where the rule of Vitality (HP) existed, that would not happen

Even if a hero's throat was slit by a regular person or a nameless soldier, even if they were stabbed in the spleen from behind, they would not be fatally wounded In some cases, they would not even be scratched

“There are the concepts of attack power, defense power and skills Defense power is aps in armor, but those with the Physical Resistance skill have skin that's like armor,” Aran said

“So even lightweight missiles wouldn't cause any problems, even if they landed”

“… So, you noticed”

Indeed, beings that could withstand an attack froht missile were not rare in Lambda Such missiles would likely defeat Rank 4 monsters such as Orc Soldiers, but even a direct hit would not inflict a fatal wound on a Rank 7 Earth Dragon Such a hit would feel like nothing on

A' Borkus doesn't even need to be mentioned; even Miles, as currently on a business trip with the Sauron Liberation Front, would undoubtedly sio on to kill the person who shot it with his bare hands

C-class adventurers would remain unharmed if they used shi+eld Technique and Ar on their equipet aith minor injuries Even if they were hit in a bad place, they would not receive a fatal wound

“Then what about a musket?” Melissa asked

“Well, it would be impossible to kill a D-class adventurer unless you hit theht in the eye or the mouth I don't think the bullet would pierce the skull even if it hit the head Even norh their helh,” Aran said “As for monsters… it depends on what kind of et the idea if I tell you that a Rank 3 ht?”

It was difficult for even a skilled hunter to kill a bear with a single shot That difficulty wouldn't be any less if the bear was replaced by a three- carnivorous dinosaur

And considering a e, the shooter would nore weapons were available, if one was skilled enough, martial skills that released slashes and i Slash existed

Well-penetrating, highly lethal sniper rifles, assault rifles with high rates of fire and high-power anti-tank rifles uns were not very effective weapons in Lambda

The only difference was Vandalieu's Cannon Technique, but a cannon using vast quantities of Mana as a propulsion force and projectilesthat could even slay Gods could not be put into the sain

“I see So, what about attacks that ignore defense?” Melissa asked

“… I don't want to answer that question,” Aran said “That's clearly a question as to how effective Anore Defense will be in Lambda, isn't it?”

“Then you don't have to answer it That response gave h idea”

The cheat-like ability possessed by Anore Defense, which had its inconveniences but was considered to be overwhelin However, it seemed that it would not be as in, due to the existence of the concept of Vitality

Having decided this fro about ive a proper answer

“Is it possible for us to be reincarnated in Laht after we die, like Kanata said?” she asked

This was the reason Kanata had been destroyed by Vandalieu

“It's possible, but difficult,” Aran answered “It places a burden on the syste reincarnated in an adult's body the moment after you're killed is impossible”

Rodcorte was using a system to conduct reincarnation That system denied the resurrection of any dead person

The reincarnated individuals tricked the syste revived in the sa killed was no different from resurrection

As a result, it would place a burden on the system

“So that s over and over… thanks, that's all,” Melissa said as she turned her back to Aran

With this, I've decided who I'ht

Meanwhile, Rodcorte was devising a concrete ration systeinate from monsters… the evil Gods ere the re's army, into his own system

“Vida's destruction is necessary after all However, looking at it another way, taking over her system will be simple once Vida is destroyed The problem is, hoill Alda destroy Vida when he is unable to destroy souls…”

If this rant Alda's request, but also increase the nu thatVandalieu

He had gained information from the memories of the Hues when Vandalieu brought theh this inforuided to the Demon Path

Beyond the Boundary Mountain Range, Vandalieu had a nation in the southern region of the Bahn Gaia continent, where the Goddess slumbered, and he called hi the case, he was unlikely to run if Alda's forces attacked

And those orshi+pped Alda would not ignore a nation that considered monsters such as Undead, Ghouls, Vampires and Lizardmen its citizens and worshi+pped Vida and the evil Gods that had allied themselves with her

Rodcorte did not exist in Lambda, but Alda did It would be difficult to stop his forces fro Zuruwarn, the God of space and creation, and Ricklent, the genie of time and space, as evil

“Hmm… if she is attacked with more persistency, her power is decreased and her believers fall sharply in nuo with this method,” Rodcorte decided

“Oi, answer ht?!” said the 'Mage Masher' Minahts

“… How many times must I answer that for you to understand?” Rodcorte asked him

“I want toyou the sa or not”

Rodcorte was slightly iantly towards Gods

“… It is not iether to recycle it as a different soul,” he said

“Really?! Then –”

“However, this is different fro It would only result in a distorted soul that does not possess the personality or the memories of either Konoe Miyaji or Kaidou Kanata”

As Rodcorte said this, he suddenly reathered the soul fragle soul to ensure that Vida would not resurrect the dead

He had watched nuh his syste unnatural, so he had left it alone and forgotten about it

“If you do not trust me, you can simply ask Machida Aran and shi+ me?” Rodcorte asked

To Minai, the tho had become Rodcorte's familiar spirits should have been trustworthy co the effort of questioning Rodcorte, whom he declared untrustworthy, and Rodcorte couldn't understand this

Asagi quickly answered this question “That's right, but there s that Aran and Izus directly, soain That's why I' to question you and then have Aran, Kouya and Tendou analyze your answers”

By 'so to how Aran and Izumi had become unable to move when Konoe Miyaji had tried to use the 'Clairvoyance' Tendou to attack before the others could get a chance

Huenerally had free wills, but when they directly interfered with the Gods they served or clearly violated the rules that had been imposed on them, they became unable to move

Asagi was likely wary that this could happen if questions that were inconvenient to Rodcorte happened to be asked

It seeht behind his actions than Rodcorte had thought

“So then, why is it that you are honestly ad this to me?” Rodcorte asked

“You can read e're thinking anyway, right? So then, there's no point in hiding it,” Asagi said

“Indeed, that is true”

Realizing that Asagi also possessed the courage and strength of will that he had originally thought, Rodcorte revised his view of him

On top of being aware that his thoughts were being read, Asagi was acting genuinely arrogant before a being as absolutely superior to hi or not, it was so that normal humans could not do

In fact, Rodcorte knew that Asagi's thoughts were the same as the words he spoke

“But ould you wish for the resurrection of those two? You people no longer consider them your companions, do you?” Rodcorte asked

Kaidou Kanata had conducted acts such as abducting fe the their corpses When another reincarnated individual's e of death, he had considered this fortunate and sold her organs after ending her life; he had truly disgraced the Bravers

Konoe Miyaji could be considered to be better than hihth Guidance with Murakami Junpei

Even though they had been destroyed, these tere not people whoi should have been concerned about

However, it seehts

“It's true that I can't consider them to be my companions,” he said “In fact, I think they deserved to die for the things they did Aran and the others aren't worried about those two being destroyed, either I know that the things Amamiya did were because he had no choice but to protect hi that made them deserve to have their souls broken, then I…”

It see hiate whether Kaidou Kanata and Konoe Miyaji's souls could be rebuilt

However –

“That is quite theabout,” Rodcorte remarked

“What?!”

“Ah, ies It seehts out loud”

“Are you trying to pick a fight with me?!”

“Why would I pick a fight with so about a truly ht”

Asagi was enraged

Rodcorte decided to explain as he took a s about whether those two co their souls broken, but the fitting punish on one's views If there are some who say that someone deserves death for his cri that death is too harsh a punishment,” he said “It is a problem to me when any souls are broken, so I can say that those two should not have had their souls broken That is all”

“… You don't understand at all, do you? Itlike that And aren't you the one who let Konoe die?” Asagi said

“Would you like me to explain my reasons for that once hts, you have quite the co of them”

“shi+t, you're not a God after all!” Asagi spat as he turned his back to Rodcorte and left

It see would end here

What support the reincarnated individuals would actually get after being reborn in Lambda, how their previous experience would be reflected in their skills, whether their otherthe circle of reincarnation systems were deleted as they were reborn, whether they could choose their parents if they were reborn as babies, whether they could choose the place they started if they were reborn as adults… Asagi had asked numerous questions, but Rodcorte interpreted this as hiher expectations of him than he had in Kaidou Kanata

“Now then, I suppose I will give my response to Alda”

“In other words, what I felt wasn't wrong Ai murmured
