Chapter 2 – And Then the Beginning of the World Again

Part 1

A sea of cloud that continued without end

The summits of the mountains that were like alps covered in snoed their faces from that sea of cloud

They looked like a chain of islands floating on the ocean At the su them, there was a castle

A sky sanctuary shi+ning white It had a close resemblance to the sanctuary of Greece, the Parthenon, but this sanctuary was far bigger and far resplendent than that From the slope of the mountain until far above the summit, a sanctuary of a total of twelve floors was built, its height reached even higher than a kilometer

At the highest place of that sanctuary, was the Deus ex machina Thanatos

Thanatos had the figure of a beautiful girl with long golden hair and blue eyes On her forehead was a hair orna ornaments were at the sides of her face The clothes she as a white one piece, rese in paintings or carvings There ings like a sculpture on her back And then leg parts that were like pillars She closely resembled a Goddess enshrined in the sanctuary of the Gods

However the space that Goddess lived in was exceedingly simple

There hite as far as the eye could see There was nothing other than that

Whether the ceiling or the floor or the walls, everything didn’t have any ornament, it was just a white space One could see the outside fro fro blue sky above the sea of clouds

This white world with continuing sea of clouds was the world Thanatos created White, silent, thewas perfectly created beautifully However, even this beautiful world didn’t give its creator’s heart any consolation Thanatos was directing her eyes that were filled with sorrow as usual to her guests

Only that space where the guest was at had vivid color spreading, there was a foreign feeling there like paint dropping on a white canvas by mistake

Osiris of yellow and Odin of blue

Osiris with her light brown skin sracefully

“Thanatos issad eyes just like usual How are you? Co and pleasant place you know Surely your heart will be comforted there”

Osiris’s figure was the very ie of Cleopatra that was told in history She was a beautiful woht brown skin, and the black hair that was cut evenly in bob hairstyle And then the siold and jewels, gave the close reseypt

That body wasn’t that of the Deus ex Machina, but an appearance that had no difference at all with a human But, in place of a machine body, a falcon and lionby at Osiris’s side The two ani with autonomy as if they were in possession of life Occasionally they would lift their face and did things like paying attention to Osiris, they could only be thought of as living things

In contrast with the cal irritated the whole time

“You don’t understand don’t you, Osiris Things like tranquility will onlyheart worsen evento do Thanatos, won’t you come to my world? If it’s an enemy then there are many there!”

Odin was a girl with shi+ning silver hair Her beauty that was like ice was so that humans wouldn’t be capable to reach, it was a crystallization of beauty only a God possessed

As if to co her body was also beautiful It was exactly an ar blue aron scales On her back ings like ore of jewels spreading, Odin’s long silver hair pranced on her back, bending like a tail

The silver hair and white skin painted out a beautiful vibrant contrast with the blue ar Odin’s sensual body Both her arh aron’s limbs, but the equiply thin that it was nearly defenseless It was even like it was for showing off her voluptuous but trained body

But there was only one point where Odin was lacking in

――Odin didn’t have a left eye

Her left eye was covered by an eye patch and confirretful for the one seeing her that the beauty wasn’t perfect That lacking gave birth to unbalance and uneasiness and erous existence

But on the contrary, the built that wasn’t perfect also created presence and beauty Different from simple harmony, there was beauty characteristic of Odin that even hastliness

The two Deus ex Machina, Osiris and Odin Even after hearing the proposal of these two Gods, Thanatos was only showing a melancholic expression

At that ti in

“The data of the experimental world that was lost before this, I found it!”

Hokuto as a wearing vivid red China dress finally arrived while laughing Odin glared severely at such Hokuto

“What did you say!? Where!”

“Aah, it’s no good anymore They ran away”

“Wha……-?”

Odin stoe

“Don’t screw around! For us, the creators, to be outwitted by our creation, is so that couldn’t possibly happen!”

“No, please calm down After all they won’t be able to escape from us anyway, so let’s think of our next step here leisurely”

“Osiris! You are too relaxed! I cannot take this anymore I cannot leave this to you all I’ll take care of it!”

Hokuto stood in the way of Odin that was going to head to the

“You et even with that bunch, I won’t be able to feel joyful!”

Odin’s right eye was lit with the flame of madness

“Interesting You want to have a go at me?”

Odin waved her arm and unnoticed that hand held a spear Hokuto also brandished her sword Hakke Kirin

It was an explosive situation

The two Gods were going to start a war Between the faintly

“You won’t stop them Thanatos?”

Thanatos lowered her golden eyelashes and sighed

‘――We are the existences that accomplished the ultimate evolution But it also seems to appear that we are still far from perfection Why is that? And then, from nohat kind of evolution is it that we should reach?

In the first place what kind of transition we underwent that we became our current existences, there are too many unclear points in our database For that reason we created neorlds and carry out experiments, yet despite so……are we, unable to even do just a proper experiment?

Or else, is this the correct experiment result?’

Thanatos raised a voice tinged with sadness

“Even if we argued, nothing will result from it”

Just that h Odin lowered her spear reluctantly, and Hokuto who saw that lowered her sword too

“But, nevertheless there is no e can leave this alone It is only a little amount of data but there is no question that we need to collect it Let each of us search for it freely It’s fine like that right?”

“Very well”

The ure vanished

“……Then I’ll go home too Well then, see you later”

Hokuto turned around her body on the spot and then her body vanished too Inside the white sanctuary, only thethere Osiris showed no sign of leaving and caressed her mechanical lion composedly

“Osiris, you are not going?”

Thanatos called with a tired voice at Osiris who didn’t look like she would move from that spot

“Fufufu, please don’t chase me away like that”

Osiris got her lazy butt to move and headed to the entrance The lion also stood up and followed behind Osiris The falcon spread its wings and fleards the sea of clouds from theOsiris came to a stop at the door and turned to Thanatos

“Even so, Thanatos is really having a gloomy face all the time”

“Is that so”

“Each of our origin is different I said that just now, but actually, I don’t understand what kind of method that can resolve your worry”

“That’s right isn’t it”

“What are you wishi+ng for, Thanatos?”

“……”

Thanathos didn’t reply If she was like this, then surely no reply would come even if one waited for several millenniums

Osiris floated a faint smile on her lips and closed her eyes

“We too, it will be great if we can suicide isn’t it?”

Thanatos raised her looking down face However Osiris’s figure was already gone

“……Suicide is it Actually that sounded sweet”

A faint smile could be seen on Thanatos’s lips

“Being able to do so like that……what a story of dreams”

After whispering that, Thanatos’s eyes looked down sadly

Part 2

“Well then everyone How about I start explaining”

In the center control rooathered Having said that, the majority of them were sent to hospital from the battle with Hokuto the other day

The people in this place were, from Lemuria side were Kizuna, Reiri, Kei, and Himekawa From Vatlantis Empire were Zelsione From Baldein was only Queen Landred

Kizuna was also ordered to rest by the doctor, but he forced hiht that he had to hear the story at any expense

No one was sitting on the prepared chair, they were looking down on the s in the front Her upper body earing red furisode, but her lower body earing hts, the little girl was showing a cherubic smile

The nairl was Hida Nayuta The owner of Nayuta Lab, this was her return ho while

There were people ere staring at her appearance looking du at her with eyes filled with killing intent that wanted to kill her when there would be opening However for Nayuta herself, that kind of killing intent didn’t even feel like a breeze, she was s sweetly

“Surely you all also have things you want to ask, so first how about I accept the questions Regarding this world overfloith mystery and the chain of destiny that is ”

The irl raised a theatrical voice in front of all present Her face was young, but in that expression there was age which had been piled up for long years

“We don’t understand where to start asking here”

Kizuna’sthat everyone gathered here agreed on inside their heart

Himekawa asked with a perplexed state

“Then, that enemy called Deus ex Machina……what are they? No, rather than that are you really that Professor Nayuta?”

“Yes You allto the death before”

“There is no way such thing……no, certainly……?”

Hi fro chaotic

Kei also thought and thought, then she typed on her keyboard totteringly

{Before that, the fact that we and also the people of Vatlantis, all of us becoood relationshi+p, that in itself is strange}

Queen Landred tilted her head with troubled look

“Haa……even if you told me who is just a mere school nurse, that I was actually a queen in another world……I really cannot folloith this nonsense”

“Wrong It’s the reverse Rather, please feel doubt about being the school nurse”

Zelsione retorted without hiding her irritation And then she crossed her arms with meek expression

“Even so, who ever thought that this me will be deceived until this far……”

It was Zelsione who had her forte inthe mind of her opponent, precisely because of that she received shock fro manipulated herself

Kizuna glared at his own mother with sharp look

He was still unable to understand the situation But, Kizuna finally noticed the true identity of the out of place feeling he had froo

This world where the students of Ataraxia and the h their standpoint and social status were changed, everyone was here

――With the exception of two people

“Kaa-san Where are Aine and Yurishi+a?”

Zelsione also raised her face in sudden realization and leaned her body forward

“That’s right Where is our e on your answer……”

Toward the threatening Zelsione, Nayuta shook her head in regret

“They are not here”

“Not here? What’s theof that!”

Kziuna held back Zelsione who looked like she was going to equip her ic armor even now

“President, calet out the information from her”

“Yeah……I understand However the student of my academy is……hm?”

Zelsione’s face flared up red

“Don, don’t mess with uard captain Zelsione! Are youfun of me, Hida Kizuna!”

Kizuna too scratched his head by reflex

“Sorry! I wasn’t doing that in purpose but, the setting until just now is still re inside my head!”

“Calm down you two”

Nayuta took out her fan and sent wind at the two

“ “Just whose fault do you think it is!” “

Kizuna and Zelsione yelled angrily in unison

Nayuta spread her s two and stopped them

“They are not here, but I knohere they are I will explain later”

Toward Nayuta as keeping her cool, Reiri as staying quiet until now spoke with voice bri intent

“Honestly speaking, I want to kill you first before looking for explanation Even though it would be best if you just die quietly, why are you reviving back here so shamelessly”

Nayuta lightly warded off Reiri’s naked killing intent

“That’s so isn’t it, being killed by you is also fine, but the first priority is to resolve the probleht? After all I don’t knohen the Deus ex ”

Kei typed her keyboard

{Our mind cannot follow the events First ant to know the outline of the situation}

Nayuta touched her cheek with her index finger going ‘I see’ It was a lovable gesture that was like a child, but that wasn’t so she done naturally but a movement she did by purpose

“That’s so isn’t it But the outline huh, so that everyone can come to understand the situation……the one who appeared before this is the God who created Lemuria and Vatlantis Atlantis and Leuration information of the world that I have――”

“Wait, wait, wait!”

Reiri waved her hand while speaking loudly

“I don’t get what you are talking about right from the start! That was God you say!? And then what do you mean by terminated!”

Nayuta sighed in an intentional gesture

“Good grief really……Reiri really is a kid with slow brain”

The hter with adult body and lamented

Vein appeared on Reiri’s forehead

“……How about I snap and kill you with this hand”

Fro out her hand to Nayuta

“Nee-chan, calet information from her first!”

“Eei, let go! Getting rid of thepath is also the children’s responsibility!”

Putting aside the quarreling siblings, Kei typed on her keyboard calmly

(Our memory is also unclear But I can declared with confidence that previously eren’t going to school together with the people of another world In my awareness, there was conflict with the AU in the previous world, where our world was suppressed by the e in afloat above the sea invaded Vatlantis Empire from the Entrance We reached amicable settlement with them and repaired Genesis……is that matched of what happened?)

“I think that awareness is fine However, after that Deus ex Machina erased the worlds coether”

“What did you say!?”

Himekawa leaned her body forith expression unable to believe the situation

“Well……it was that kind of major incident It’s like a movie”

It seemed that inside the head of Queen Landred, she was still a school nurse

“This is because the one who confront the Deus ex Machina were only Kizuna and Aine……this is a good chance It will take tiical order”

After saying that, Nayuta took out a short and thin stick frole with that stick and a shi+ning red cube appeared from that track she drew It was unclear what kind ofNayuta produced Nayuta then thrust at that cube with the stick in her hand

“This is Atlantis”

And then fro blue cube With that there o cubes now

“This is Lemuria These two cubes represented the torlds respectively”

The two cubes were floating in the air like dice One of the cube, the red cube stabbed by the stick was losing its light

“Atlantis’s ”

Thereupon the cube that beca sucked closer to the cube that was shi+ning blue And then finally the two cubes bumped with a clunk

“This is AU collision The world called Atlantis tried to suppleot drawn in toward Lemuria”

Everyone present there opened their eyes wide The cause of the mysterious phenomenon AU collision that they didn’t understand until noas easily told However, it was hard to believe it so suddenly, the fact hardly entered their head

Zelsione asked with a hard voice

“You are saying that to suppleic power, our world(Vatlantis) was approaching Le?”

“In the First Another Universe Conflict, the tiic power in Atlantis orsening However the Another Universe Conflict was ended in around one week Why do you think that is?”

However no one could answer that Nayuta looked around at the faces of the gathered members and said

“It was because the ic power that is called life force”

The teo The floating red cube which was losing its light shi+ned once ht became dull

“The ation received attack from Lemuria’s side and took defensive action And then it became war and lots of lives were stolen At that ti in to Atlantis from the Entrance With that the Another Universe Conflict was ended for the moment”

The cube that recovered its light was taking distance from the other cube

After confir question, Nayuta continued her story

“At the tiain, the Second Another Universe Conflict occurred”

The cube that lost its light again buht, but this ti, the stick stuck on the cube was cracked

“This stick is governing the ic power of Atlantis In other words?”

Nayuta stared at Zelsione’s direction

“……You want to say that’s Genesis right?”

“Exactly That stick was used when creating this cube That’s what Genesis is, the tool used by the God when creating the world”

However, that tool was cracked And then together with a dry rupturing sound, it snapped into two

“It broke completely When it coot collided are deleted”

Crack entered Atlantis’s cube That crack also got propagated to Lemuria

“In order to prevent that froht a certain method to all of you”
