443. Cataclysm (5)
In fact, it is not even a story that can be called a thunderstorm.
Well, to the God of Creation, it seems that the order camp is sure to be defeated, so it wouldn’t be strange if
they were in such a hurry ... I heard that unknown beings are joining in and overturning the plate.
‘I know that the war of the gods has become a mess with four of the ancient deities, but I never thought the reaction would come so quickly.’
However, if the god of creation knew that this side had met the dragon god and was half-dead and then revived, I just didn’t think that he would immediately ask for help in that way.
‘The other side must have been convinced that the war of the gods would come to an end if they procrastinated any longer.’
Is that why?
‘And it also means that now we are in a crisis situation where we have to borrow help from an outsider like me who doesn’t even know where it came from.’
At that, I looked at the divine orb floating in the sky over the Western Front and touched my lips.
“...”
It was ambiguous.
‘Thanks to that, the god of creation will no longer wonder where I came from and why I came here...’
Lucky or bad, I don’t know.
‘Perhaps, on the contrary, the god of creation might call me in and try to interrogate me under the pretext of borrowing power from this side.’
It was worth it.
Seeing that the other side has become so urgent, it may be that the opportunity has come to play an active role in the war of the gods without any doubt as I wished.
However, even so, they must be aware that it is close to an anomaly for the dark gods, demons, and dragon gods to rampage in earnest without expressing their neutrality.
– God of time. That nasty seer said there was an impurity somewhere. Did you say that space-time seems to be warped because of that? But now that I see it, I think it’s because of you, so I’m saying it.
...Suddenly, I remembered the words that the Dragon God had given me with pure goodwill.
-Isn’t it? In fact, in this universe, it is not enough to directly govern the high-level concept of death itself, and everyone cannot know the being reborn as an ancient deity.... I came here and knew you for the first time.
Every word I heard from her was advice that reasonably foresaw the worst that would happen in the future.
-Ahaha! isn’t it strange What do you think everyone would think if an ancient deity found out about this? Well, at least no one will see you favorably or think you’re not suspicious. At worst, they’ll all try to catch you and interrogate you.
I was worried.
‘...There is nothing wrong with what the dragon god said then. It’s obvious what will happen when I return to the headquarters of the order camp and find out that the war of the gods has been ruined because of me.’
But...
‘...but it’s obvious that just because I don’t go back to the orderly camp doesn’t mean there’s anything particularly sharp about it.’
That too is only for a moment.
「The activation of Divinity < Battle Star > has expired due to the expiration of the usage time.」
[ ...I will wait for you to return. ]
Farah-.
The moment he saw that the activation of Divinity < Battleness > had ended and the sphere of divinity floating high in the sky had disappeared.
【Folding Vortex
】
In an instant, space and space collided with each other and began to fold.
The scenery of the Western Front in front of me was distorted and I felt my body was about to move to a new place.
Anyway, no matter what this side does, won’t the anomaly that occurred once in the war of the gods disappear due to the butterfly effect?
Unlike the last time I saw him, the holy relics all over his body were in tatters, and his eyes were shining with emptiness, like a being whose mind and body were somehow broken.
“...yes. Well, by chance, I came face to face with the dragon god, and I barely survived and came back. The god of proof also seems to be no different from me.”
[ ...quick-quick. That’s too much of a joke. Aren’t you and I very different? Do you really see me that way in your eyes? I don’t think so. ]
The god of proof continued with his eyes full of emptiness and fatigue.
[ ...the Eastern Front. One of the two ancient deities that appeared there was interested in my power, and only saved my life. I wasn’t even an opponent at all. It wasn’t even a fight. ]
“....”
[ ...I have already heard the news about you from the god of creation, so I know it well. I don’t know how the heck he did it, but he seems to have succeeded in repelling the incarnation of the Dragon God. ]
“I, too, only survived because the dragon god appeared as an incarnated body.”
Actually, I wasn’t that different from them.
“...If the dragon god had appeared as a body rather than an incarnation, it would have ended there as an ancient god.”
In the first place, like the other side, if I hadn’t hinted to the dragon god that I was a lumber to be the ‘successor’, in addition, if the dragon god hadn’t chosen the option of coming as an incarnation rather than the main body, everything would have ended.
“...Rather than that, I’d like to hear about battles in places other than my own.”
but for a while.
“You just told me that one of the two ancient deities that appeared on the Eastern Front survived because of an interest in the God of Proof, what happened to that?”
So I turned the subject aside and asked what had happened elsewhere, instead of talking about useless things anymore.
[ ...well. It didn’t mean much. When the two ancient deities, the God of Time and the God of Light, appeared, the God of Time showed interest in me. It is said that a high-ranking deity with a conceptual divinity of the future foreknowledge is rare. ]
Future Foresight.
This side had already borrowed the power of ‘future foresight’ from the god of proof once in the Tower of Trials, so I understood what he was saying.
Most of the ancient deities I have seen so far are superior in strength, but they do not have a conceptual deity capable of foreseeing the future like the god of proof.
‘Perhaps the concept of the future foresight system of the God of Proof was rare even for that ancient deity.’
Perhaps because of that, the author of the God of Time, one of the two ancient deities who appeared on the Eastern Front, seems to have shown interest in the God of Proof...
[God of Time. It is said that the ominous old monster can also foresee the future. that’s right isn’t it It is a being that has become immortal as a divinity that governs the concept of ‘time’ itself. that’s why i survived ]
“...do you know what the god of that time said /to you/ at that time? Please be as detailed as possible. I also want to know what the God of Time said.”
It seems that various ancient deities, including the Dark God, the Demon God, and the Dragon God, are following his persuasion, starting with the ‘God of Time’.
‘If I can tell what kind of existence the God of Time is, I’d rather do that.’
When I asked him such a question with my eyes narrowed, the god of proof answered as if it was not particularly difficult.
[ ...well. They say space-time is twisted. It means that everything is real and not real. Then they forced me to use my future foresight concept divinity. I did that. For some reason, I couldn’t even see any future. ]
“In short, do you mean that it is impossible to foresee the future by activating the divine supernormal ability?”
[ yes. And when I told the god of time, he laughed it off like crazy... He said he wasn’t wrong. Then he said something like that to me. In the end, he said that all of this was a meaningless fight. ]
“....”
and then.
[After that, the god of time mumbled various unknown words to himself like crazy, and then he told me something that I didn’t know if it was a guess or a prophecy....] The next moment
. [The war of the gods has already ended a long time ago, and everything is real, but it is only the remnants of non-existent shadows
, and it is a false stage made for someone...
I had to feel that
[ ─It was said that in the war of the gods, before the winner and the loser are divided, the seed of ascension will swallow everything and temper the vessel of the transcendent in chaos. ]
...I was able to recognize that it was myself without having to worry about who the hell the prophecy was referring to.
