Chapter s38.2: S38 Decision Time 2

Kill everyone in the whole world. Where have we heard that option before?

Author’s comments: Sophia’s point of view continued

『Use prayer to intervene in the battle of the gods.』

That was the only line spoken. After waiting a while there were no further words.

「......I wonder what that means?」

「Ah!」

The moment I asked my question, Kyouya-kun raised his voice as if he had noticed something.

「What?」

「A new item has been added to the Taboo menu.」

Kyouya-kun said that and I quickly focused on the Taboo menu. I’ve been deliberately averting my eyes from it as it makes me feel sick, but certainly an item that I believe wasn’t there earlier has been added.

『Taboo Menu

System overview

Reincarnation history

Special item n%I=W

World Quest』

In the last field, are the words World Quest. I believe this wasn’t there just recently, and even if it had been there it’s inconceivable that it’s unrelated to the current situation. I try turning my focus onto that World Quest item.

As soon as I said that, the other reincarnators looked my way in shock.

「Why is such a dangerous conclusion the first thing you come up with......」

「It was a joke. A joke.」

Though I said that, Kyouya-kun looks at me with his eyes filled with doubt. Not even I would do something so senseless you know. How rude.

「However, unless you do something on that kind of scale, I think it would likely end up being rather meaningless you know?」

Yes. Now that it’s come to this, there’s only a few things we can do. After all, our opponent is literally the entirety of humanity. Our opponent is just too damn big. No, in this case I guess it would be better to describe it by saying there’s too many of them. Faced by the majority, what us the minority can do, is very limited. Before this happened, I had thought that so long as we had the power we would be able to force things through one way or the other. The situation is now completely reversed. Thanks to god’s fairness.

Perhaps he understands that, as Kyouya-kun also has a bitter expression on his face. Ariel-san has her eyes calmly closed and is in deep thought about something.

「That being said, god is fair. Our role has also been properly prepared for us after all. In short, there’s no change in what we need to do.」

As part of the World Quest item added to Taboo, what’s recorded are some broad rules, the merits and demerits of victory for each faction, and also, the victory conditions for each faction.

「The Elro Great Labyrinth’s innermost place. Protect that until the System collapse occurs. That’s what we need to do.」

It’s too late to try to manipulate public opinion. Unlike our previous world, neither TV nor the Internet are established. We can only leave it up to each person to decide which way to go. In that case, we simply have to do what we can do. Besides.

「Whatever happens goshujin-sama will win. Let’s believe in that.」

Although prayers can be used to give power, the one who is actually fighting is goshujin-sama. No matter how the enemy is strengthened by the power of prayer, goshujin-sama will still win.

「......Indeed. That’s exactly right.」

Ariel-san opens her eyes. Those eyes... are filled with determination.

「There’s no change in what we need to do. Let’s believe that Shiro-chan will win, and protect the last bastion until the end.」

In response to Ariel-san’s words, I nod together with Kyouya-kun.

「Unfortunately the other side has the advantage in manipulating public opinion and similar. But, why don’t we mess with them just a little bit eh.」

Saying that, Ariel-san smiles like a little prankster.
