569 # 569 Desert Children, and Time Tunnels.

As you can see, our children are defeating the demon beasts that are attacking us in the mass rampage [Stampede] one after another.

"Hey, why are you here!?"

I ran under Rinne, who I had beaten up, and Rinne strangely tilted her neck.

"Uncle, who is it?"

Hmph!? An invisible blade slashes through me. Ah, I see, the silver mask has been given recognition inhibition, so I don't know...

The cognitive inhibition magic imparted to this mask acts more strongly the more you know it. "[Huh? You look like someone else...]" You'll be out of your mind.

That's why even when Linne looks at me in a mask, she doesn't accept any features or perceptions that I can understand. Recognize them as strangers.

Even so... my uncle is still eighteen...

Huh? Maybe amber?

I can't believe it

Linne turned her gaze to the big tiger I was riding on and gave a startled expression.

"Do you notice amber..." "Well, you're not being hindered by recognition..."

When she noticed something, Linne opened her mouth in a rush.

"Perhaps Odo-san...?"

"... this is Otoh-san"

I take off my silver mask and look at Linnen. Interestingly, Linne began to wolf herself.

"Ah, um, um, this is...!" Ku, KuNNNYAN! "

Linne exclaimed, and immediately a coon in something like a large Powered Suit came along with Gashan Gashan.

This is the heavy-duty armored gear "Beowolf" made by Koon, right? "What are you riding on..."

"What's the matter, Linne?" I got injured somewhere... Father!? "

Found me unmasked in silver, and the counties looked as surprised as Linne.

"Coon? What the hell is going on here?"

"Ah, um, um, this is...!" Noo, Yakumo-sama! "

Thank you for reacting in the same way as Linne.

While this was happening, the Mochizuki Family's eldest sister, Eight Clouds, came to slay the beasts that were attacking them.

"What are you skipping!" If we don't take the initiative to defeat the higher ranked beast...... Chi, Father!? "

I was surprised by the Eight Clouds, the same way my sisters were surprised...

There's a point in my child putting the blame on the child above. We need to fix this.

So, Eight Clouds, do you have an explanation from the top sister?

"Ah, um, um, this is...!" Auntie [Auntie Ue]! "

"What's the matter, Eight Clouds?"

"You're the culprit, ahhhh!?"

I yelled at Sister Various Blades who appeared.

Mastermind discovery! After all, this brain muscle sword god who hasn't been rampaging enough lately has lured my children to the path of evil!

"The culprit is a terrible thing to say." I was supposed to be the lead and guardian. "

The Sonic Boom released by Sister Various Blades laughed sharply and slashed at the swarm of demonic beasts.

"When I saw them in the castle, they were already headed here at the [Gate] of the Eight Clouds." Something interesting... no, I felt anxious, and I jumped into the [gate] and learned about the situation. "

When I heard the story, it seemed that the children had come here spontaneously, instead of being brought in by Muji-san.

It seems that Yoshino overheard me and Ende talking about everything.

After hearing that story, Steve said he wanted to go, and Linne and Frei rode on it, and the disgruntled Eight Clouds guided the counts well... convinced them.

And you said that you were captured by Sister Various Blades and made into a prime minister and guardian?

Do the eight layers know about this?

"Um... I don't know, right?" because I was going to exercise a little bit.... "

Hachimun answers as he shifts his gaze away from me.

"A little exercise at the request of the mass rampage [Stampede]..." No, I was also thinking of eliminating lack of exercise!

The feeling of these children is like, "I'm going to play soccer in the park! 'I guess it's about the level...'

Do you always let your mother know? I guess so, but it's different for each family. It's true that the Mogetsu Family [me] seems to be leaning toward laissez-faire...

If I had lasted forever, I would have stopped it and contacted me and Yumina... "Sighing so, Coon turned his eyes openly.

This guy... he didn't tell me for a long time, did he? As a result, you're the ones who get mad at your mothers, aren't you?

"Father, that scolding..." The demon beasts were coming too. Come on, come on. "

"Hmm... haha. Got it. Let's all get together and not fall apart. If anything happens to you, please contact me."

Yes!

"I just need to reply..." I'm going to get angry with the eight layers later... "No, you're definitely going to be angry..." Why didn't you stop?

But can you stop it in this state? "I thought you were having fun like this..."

It can't be helped. Let's get angry together... "

Nanba-san, please take care of these children.

"I'll leave you to it." By the way, Winter Night, who are you referring to that [Brain Muscle Sword God who hasn't had enough rampage lately]? "

"I'm sorry!"

Damn it, you were reading my mind!

I bowed my head deeply and jumped on the amber and walked away. Don't touch the gods!

Glllllllll!

Shut up!

I smashed a [Fireball] into the mouth of the sand crawler that appeared to block my path. That was a bit of a hit... well, look.

Ende, Norn, and Nia's three frames and overgear are thwarting us, but the number of beasts that come to us is constantly decreasing.

In addition to the children, I also participated in the battle with Sister Various Edges, so I had plenty of time to come.

That said, it's mentally tough not to see the end... "When the other adventurers come back, do you want to kill them with annihilation magic all at once... hey?

"It seems like a demon beast I've never seen before is mixed in..."

The Sandshark you just defeated, did you get two heads?... I wonder if it's a subspecies?

As expected, I don't know all the demon beasts either. In other words, I hardly come to the Sandra region here, so I hardly know any beasts that only live here. Most of the demon beasts that live in the desert area know about them, so I thought they were the same.

When I thought about it, I was attacked by a monster I had never seen before.

Squid? Octopus? A monster emerged from the sand with countless tentacles.

I cut off the tentacle arm that I had swung down with my crystal sword. While bleeding purple, he attacked me with the remaining tentacles, so I cut off everything.

Then I spit out something red from my mouth. Of course. Then, the sand of the desert where the liquid fell melted into white smoke. Geez, that's lysate!

It's disgusting, let's defeat it. If it was the same as a squid or an octopus, I would aim between my eyes and release a thrust, and in an instant, I fell to the spot and died.

Don't ever see a monster like this again. Is it a sand octopus or a sand tentacler?

I wonder if I can eat it...? No, let's not. I don't want to eat something that spits lysate.

But... there's something wrong with it. I barely saw the beast I knew before.

"It seems like they're getting stronger because of their imagination..."

When I felt a vague anxiety about such a question, my smartphone called me. Ende?

"Hello? What's up?"

There's something wrong with this rampage group [Stampede] on a winter night. I can't see the end of it forever. It's like it's gushing out endlessly from somewhere..... "

I thought it was a little too much for Ende's words.

Originally, as the group rampage [Stampede] name suggests, it would not have happened without the rampaging beasts and animals.

Usually, there is abundant food and water in the forest and mountains, and some kind of mutation is triggered in places where many creatures live.

It should rarely happen in a desert like this, where life is tough to live in.

Then where did these beasts come from? It was as if someone had gathered them from all over the desert and let them run wild... "

I feel something man-made. Perhaps this is also the Messenger of the Evil God────.

Feeling worried about Ende's words, I opened the map again.

Have you changed much from the form of the rampage group [Stampede] you saw earlier? The red dot just stretched straight to where it is now.

The position of the rear end is not moving...? No, rather than not moving, a follower is appearing from there...?

"No way...! [Teleport]!"

I felt a bad feeling, and I instantly moved to the location at the end of the line.

What I saw was a swarm of demon beasts flying out of a crooked space one after another.

The demon beasts jumped out and pushed straight over the desert so that they could be caught by the beast that ran ahead.

"This is...! [Gate]? No... Could it be...!"

Oh, it looks like you're late.

As if to support the idea I had arrived at, a familiar voice could be heard from behind.

Looking back, Grandma Tokie stood there with a slightly awkward smile.

"That means this is..."

"The [Dimensional Seismic] distortion...?"

“Yeah, that's right. Moreover, it's dangerous because it's completely connected to the world of the past. If you stay like this, you'll be able to connect the past with this era."

Is that... the time tunnel I told you about? Indeed, when the time tunnel is completely fixed, the past, the future, and the present become a mess, and there is no longer anything left to be done by earthly forces. As a result, the Destruction God travels and the world ends... "Hey hey hey, this is pretty bad...!"

So the demon beasts you haven't seen before are an extinct species from the past!

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for turning my back while telling you something big... I'm embarrassed"

Unusually, Grandma Tokie is laughing. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You're not laughing, are you?!

However, when the grandmother gripped her right hand lightly, the hole in the open dimension disappeared in an instant.

Ah, huh? I should have been pretty nasty... "It's kind of light..."

"Um, what was that 'late' earlier...?"

”No, I wanted to erase it before I found out about it in the winter evening... but I found it with a slight difference.”

Is that you!? You were trying to destroy the evidence!?

Hohoho, Grandma Tokie laughs as if she's fooling around.

"There are many dimensional distortions from large to small here." I thought it was the effect of the dimensional earthquake, but it seems that there was a creeping coworker behind it. "

"... after all, is that the evil god's apostle?"

"Yes, it's definitely creating 'distortions' on purpose." As a result, foreign objects are flowing in from the past world. That triggers the group rampage "Stampede", but this time, the group rampage "Stampede" from the past world has flowed here. The demon beasts that came out one after another were fixedly locked without closing the space-time hole. "

Normally, a small space-time hole closes with the restorative power of the world. However, if it is a big one, it will take time to close, and it may be fixed in place on rare occasions. This seems to be the time tunnel.

This time, the demon beast passed from one to the next, and the hole didn't close.

If it hadn't been for Grandma Tokie, the God of Destruction would definitely have arrived... "

That's not what the Evil God's Apostle wants, is it? The end of this world by the God of Destruction. I don't think they will do such a thing, but some people have a desire for destruction...

"The only thing that bothers me is that it's connected to the past." If it's a dimensional distortion, it doesn't matter if it's connected to the future..... "

"Speaking of which..."

Visitors from the past... there are many extinct species, but they are only from the future.

It was undoubtedly the effect of the dimensional earthquake that Eternity and Lil came to this world from the future. Perhaps the messenger of the evil god is not involved.

Is there any reason to stick to the past...?

”No way... the evil god we defeated was in the world of the future [this way]?”

"I can't. As long as I'm here, I can't let anything that's a fool like the Evil God pass through any era." If I come, I'll send you to the infinite corridor of time, and you'll wander around forever. "

My guess was canceled by Grandma Tokie. What is the Infinite Corridor of Time...? "I'm a little scared..."

Grandmother Tokie continues to talk, sighing without worrying about me, who was intimately frightened.

"Well, there's a chance you're making a futile effort without knowing it..."

Yeah, that's a possibility.

The messenger of the evil gods is trying hard to summon the evil gods from the past world. But it was obstructed by Grandma Tokie, the Space-Time God, and it was a waste of effort...?

If so, what a sad story, but is it really so...? "

"Huh? Does this mean that this group's rampage [Stampede] will continue to occur frequently...?"

"This time, it happened to bring in the mass rampage [Stampede] of the past world [that way], so it became this size, but I think that something of the same size rarely happens." However, spatiotemporal distortions often occurred near moving objects, so they brought in demon beasts. Because there are many demon beasts in the past world that are stronger than the ones of this era.... "

"As a result, it will become a mass rampage [Stampede]..."

The main thing was that the powerful demon beast that appeared suddenly frightened everyone and ran away together.

"Because it's the survival instinct of a living being, I can't help it..."

If it's Grandma Tokie, don't you know in advance where the distortion will occur?

"Hmm... I don't know, but..." Sometimes it's unexpected, like this time, and I wonder if I'm too helpful on the ground as a superior god. There are opinions among the gods that there are not many new gods to be sacrificed to.... "

Mmm. When they say that...

Originally, this was a problem that I had to clean up after becoming the administrator of this world...

Even with that, I still owe it to Sister Various Blades and the craft god [Crafting]...

In the case of the two of them, it can be excused as the "guidance" of the Shinigami, but Grandma Tokie's is completely "help".

When the time tunnels are formed, the world ends with the God of Destruction. I guess I should think of it as a special measure this time. It was also a sanctuary for the gods.

Should I think that I can only get help if I can create a time tunnel...?

"Yes, if you think about it that much." Is that better than that? "

Grandma Tokie points behind me. [M] As I looked back, a large pillar of sand stood.

The giant lion's body, the eagle's wings, and the eagle's head. A huge foolish demonic beast was floating in the air.

It's about the size of Norn's Leonoir. A giant beast? No, it must be hard. It was half the size.

"This isn't about time, is it?" It was originally in this desert. "

"Yes. I'm sure this was... Skull, Sphinx?" You were drawn to the blood of those you defeated. "

The Skull Sphinx was a demonic beast with a skeleton-like face, but it liked blood. I don't know if it's because of the desert without water or just a hobby, but I'm sure it was attracted by the tremendous amount of blood that flowed this time.

Galoron...

I could only see the darkness in my eyes. I knew that the gaze captured me even though I had no eyeballs.

The mouth of the skeleton opens, and a thin, long needle-like tongue stretches out from it. That long tongue will draw blood from the prey's body.

Skulls and Sphinx attack from the sky like falcons who find their prey on the ground.

Galoro Rowo Won!

That's funny, you crazy bastard.

Amber waved her claws down toward the attacking Skull Sphinx. Rather than air, the cleft claws that had torn the space apart tear the opponent apart.

Garoayewe!?

Well, well, well.

The Skull Sphinx, which was falling here in bloody blood, was split into two with a crystal sword. Ah, this fur is going to be gold. You failed.

With the time tunnel gone, the supply of demon beasts stopped. In a few hours, we'll be dead.

When I get home, the Yaezu will be mad at me. Ha... I'm depressed now.

125th── failed activation test

Inside the cylindrical glass case filled with a light purple liquid, the dull light emitted from the spiky core like Kimpei sugar disappears.

Sitting in front of him, he glanced at the graph floating on the monitor, and a small golden finger ran rushing over the console.

"Adjustment complete. Continued startup experiment 126th dial"

Gopo, a bubble floated on the light purple liquid, and eventually, as if pulsating, the spiked nucleus slowly began to repeat the blinking.

A little golden golem watching it quietly. The [Camera Eye] in both eyes was burning like a fiery flame of faint [Kura] delusion.
