Vol 9 Chapter 1 (2/2)
“That’s……for soree of Grace-sama is just……”
Elma shook her head with an expression of unable to believe
“With our current battle strength, it’s dangerous to fight that woman from the front As soon as Zel, Lunorlla and Clayda return, ill escape this world And then ill search for the other Deus ex Machina!”
Grace proclaietically
“About that…we are unable to escape from this world”
“What? What do you mean?”
“Since a while ago we are trying to enerated, the shi+p cannot fly……”
Clayda touched the shi+ning control panel floating on a Victoria-style desk Thereupon a large as opened in front of the three
There Oldiu buried in the sand was projected
“This is the current situation of Oldium……please take a look”
From the botto
“What’s this?”
“This red light is displaying the strength affecting Oldiu to drag Oldium into the sand”
Grace made a difficult face
“Just what in the world this power is?”
“We don’t understand However, ere able to confirenerated this power”
As though pulling the ca sht at the far beyond
“Most likely it was the place where Grace-saone just now, it was at the Necropolis, that is e think”
The screen was enlarging once ht was flowing out from a point in Necropolis
“I see……so this spot is nearby the shrine of Osiris”
Staring at that map, Elma scowled
“Then, this too is the work of machine God……is it?”
Grace fluttered her shi+ning pink hair and turned on her heel
“I don’t know But we can only return to Necropolis”
Grace spread the wings on her back
“And then, ill destroy the source of this power Let’s go, Clayda, Elma Follow me”
Just when Grace was about to fly out fros stopped still
“Or else, are you two going to say that this is reckless and stop me?”
Clayda and El smile
“Fufu, if Grace-saive any complain”
“We will be honored to accompany you”
“Hmph That’s exactly how the Quartum should be”
The wings of Koros shi+ned, Grace’s body flew out from the balcony then, like a bullet that was fired And then after her, Clayda and Elic armor on their bodies chased after her
The three lights flew above the desert, heading toward Necropolis where Osiris aiting
Part 3
It was a country that slowly arrived to death
Once there was a y which moved this world
“All of you people! See the radiance of this sun This is exactly e summoned from alternate world, an eternal power! This radiance will illu eternal prosperity in the future” (TN: The we used here is royal we)
The word of the pharaoh who proclaimed loudly made the people went into wild enthusiaslobe
That was the sun that descended to the surface With the power of the pharaoh, it was the ore that was summoned from different world It had round shape, it was exactly the sun itself It e to burn And then before long it burned up and becaht However after a while it recovered its radiance once y that repeated death and rebirth eternally That hat supposed to becoy in Osiris’s world
However, the dreahtmare
The wavelength e at the body of living thing The cause was unknown However, starting from a certain tirown Verdant land was transfor into desert
The pharaoh who summoned the alternate world est With the nonexistence of a method to cure the influence, the sta, he beca his own last moment, the pharaoh called Osiris and Isis to his side
“We will leave this world This too…… what hu the sun of alternate world……it concerned us to leave the two of you behind, traveling to the world of after death but……”
“Dear……o the great pharaoh”
Tears flowed from Osiris toward her beloved husband as at the death’s door
“Father……mother……”
And then the still young queen didn’t understand as happening But, her parents were being sad, so she also became sad
“Osiris, and then you Isis……survive for us And then, if it is so possible, this world, the people, ant you to save them……”
“Yes, for sure……for sure, I will! That’s why don’t die!”
For the sake of saving the pharaoh that was heading to death, the people began to built a structure of gigantic stone That was a huge pyramid for the sake of the pharaoh, the queen, and the princess That was an act in the atte behind the proof of one’s existence, and was also an act of groping for the way of surviving
In this world the stone itself was integrated circuit, by carving in program onto the stone, it would follow the instruction and carried out the processing That stone was piled up inwas carried out, constructing a special ic system
That system put the pharaoh into the state of te the pharaoh once again after a set of ti the death and rebirth
But the wish of the people ended up in vain, the light of the pharaoh’s life vanished
The completion of the pyramid didn’t make it in time However it barely transfor the pharaoh into a cyborg That cyborg didn’t rese to call it as awas named as undead
After the pharaoh died, the queen Osiris was enthroned as the ruler The queen who lived in sadness and her single daughter the princess, in addition the people of the country were attacked by even harsher fate
The material of the alternate world stole the life of the old eak body and the children next The scientists banded and worked together striving for the elucidation and the countermeasure of the cause, but they couldn’t discover any valid method
They had let the pharaoh to die, but they had to protect the queen and the princess The result of the whole country offering up their whole strength was the co speed
That pyraranted life force that transcended human for the queen and the princess
However that was nothing iganticti their research for the sake of the true immortality, the true rebirth
And then a few hundred years passed
The queen and the princess co, each time they woke up the desolation of the world and the decrease of population were advancing
The people so their soul into undead, in order to wait for the time of recovery that would arrive eventually
And then when Osiris co for the nth time, when she opened her eyes there was nobody else Even the figure of her beloved daughter that should be sleeping beside her was nowhere to be found
“Anyone……is there anyone here?”
Osiris searched for her daughter Isis as the one who supported her heart
“Isis!?”
What Osiris found was the figure of her daughter that had been completely transformed
She found the record the scientists left behind There it ritten that Isis was tormented by despair, and in order to accept the ruin she severed her own life However the retainers sealed the soul of Isis into an undead That was the undead in front of Osiris’s eye right now
“Why……Isis”
Isis who had grown tired didn’t co, just like that she ended her life
Osiris grieved in sorrow After her husband even the daughter she treasured was also lost from her
Since the last time she went to sleep ten thousand years had passed
There was only the pyramid and palace built from precious stones and the Necropolis city around it left behind Everything else became sand and the world accomplished the transfor human
Onlyself-recovery and self-i There was no one to confirm that result, no one that rejoiced In such a world, there were onlythe body of the queen, the only existence that would evaluate their result
During that ten thousand years, the queen was also reborn into a different living being
The fusion ofNo, it was a body that couldn’t be differentiated fro due to the evolution of y that had evolved until the ut to be called as the miracle of God
Osiris was created from the machine’s self-evolution, a God of machine She was a new God
However, all those too were only empty
Even with the power of God she possessed, she was unable to revive the flesh of her husband and daughter Creating the sa it to the Osiris’s new body, as used was that hateful sun which was summoned from alternate world
Making use of that energy, Osiris materialized supernatural power
In the country of the dead, Osiris looked up to the sky alone
“I want to die……”
Killing herself who had became God was impossible Unable to even sever her own life, unable to even save the people, Osiris stood still by herself in the palace together with her despair
However at that tiht shi+ned in
“……That is?”
――AU Collision
If she remember correctly, it was the phenomenon that occurred when the pharaoh obtained the sun of alternate world
And then from the split of the sky, one more God descended
A figure that was far more sublime than even herself In opposite of her tanned skin and black hair, she had white skin and golden hair Huge wings and armor that was like a shrine worn on her body, one more machine God
Looking up at the descend of God as though in a dream, Osiris asked that God
“Are you……God?”
Lowering her golden eyelashes, the melancholic God answered
“My name is Thanatos You are?”
“Osiris……Osiris of Necropolis”
With a face that was unclear whether it reflected sadness or apathy, Thanatos descended doard Osiris
“Are you living thing? Or else a machine?”
“I a, the people recreated my body into machine……”
Thanatos stared fixedly at Osiris with her drooping eyes
“I see……it seems that you are an existence that is close to me”
Osiris pleaded at the God descending before her eyes
“O God, this world and its people……hter, please save them!”
“What need to be done to save them?”
“That is……so back ti, thereyou can do!”
“That is ”
“Why!?”
“There are countless worlds Even worlds that have reached the fate just like what you are talking about exist everywhere Isn’t it fine if you go there?”
“There is no hter is, if this world doesn’t change then there is no !”
“So like that, is impossible even for me”
“Why!? You are God aren’t you!? Even though you are God, you cannot even do so like that!?”
“What is so strange about that? You are an existence of the sa you cannot do, then I too cannot do it”
‘――I am, God? This me who is only played around by this unreasonable fate? Even though there is not a single thing that goes following my will?’
Osiris looked down at her own body A body that was a fusion of living being and e, it pro to be pursued She understood the potential of her body The battle ability to sweep away any kind of external eneed, she had the survival ability that could deal with anything A perfect living being
But everything was too late With only herself alone obtaining the eternal life, there was nothing that came from it
Thanatos
“I want to knohat I am”
And then she stared at far aith sad gaze
“When I came to my awareness I had already been in this appearance What happened in the past, in ay I was born Who was the one giving birth to me”
Thanatos was provided with every wisdonorant and innocent being She was a God who held such contradiction
‘――This pure God, can I make use of her?’
Osiris’s inforh several tens of thousands years searched for answer And then, she reached a certain conclusion
“……Thanatos You said that you want to knoho are you, correct?”
“What kind ofmy existence hold What happened that led tothat I accomplish And then――”
Thanatos’s expression clouded in melancholy
“What should be done, so that I can die”
What Osiris’s mechanical brain cell snapped out, the way to save this world, and also her husband and daughter
“If that’s the case then I have a good way”
Thanatos directed eyes that were tinged with sorrow
“We are going to do experi that is the same with the world where we existed If we do that, Thanatos will understand how you were born Moreover……”
The tone of Osiris’s voice lowered
“You will also understand what to do to destroy your existence”
“I see”
“Can you do that, Thanatos?”
“I cannot create living thing itself, but I a will be born We just need to prepare a new box of world”
“Box of……world?”
“However, it is a work that will take too much time with only the two of us It’s better to search for partner that will lend us a hand Let’s go, Osiris”
“Eh……?”
“You too lend your power, Osiris”
Mechanical strong arm that didn’t match Thanatos’s slim body moved toward Osiris
“Ye……yes”
Osiris too took that hand and entered the Entrance
And then Osiris and Thanatos tied a strange cooperative relationshi+p Before long Hokuto and Odin were added as their comrades and they were able to create a neorld in resemblance of their world
However, it took tirow in that world
While waiting for that, Osiris returned to her oorld She perforuard so that the receptacle of soul wouldn’t break Especially the undead where her husband and daughter’s souls were inserted which were enshrined in the pyrah attention to there
Staring at the pyramid from theof the palace Osiris’s chest was filled with expectation
Osiris purposefully left behind the tool to create world, [Genesis] that originally should be collected back If living being was born in the newly created world and they had evolved into about the same level like Osiris’s world in the past, that Genesis would send notification to Osiris
‘――That is the ti being with the same appearance like us born there The souls sealed inside the undead, they can be revived by obtaining new flesh’
She would ht that the experiment failed With that Thanatos should lose interest of the world that was created for the sake of the experiht
She planned to annihilate the world and she would collect all the data
“I never thought……that Thanatos and also the other till be that obsessed with the data, how unexpected
By chance she collected the sae of Isis Froation, she was able to confirm that there was no problehter’s soul
“However, the data that I have is only a fourth of the whole……”
It was insufficient with this
Furthermore the problele man there
To revive all the people and the greenery throughout the world, a lot more data was necessary
She would collect all the re data
She had captured the escaped data with the space-time tsunami It seemed that some also crossed over toward Hokuto and Odin’s location, but there was no problem She intended to plunder the data from those two
“――However, for Hokuto to be defeated by the experianisuard down isn’t it”
Osiris looked out over Necropolis froantic pyra sun and shi+ned
Even though this scenery didn’t change since several ten ed really much
With sad gaze, Osiris continued to gaze at the sunset
