Chapter 21: Let’s Bring Down an Almighty God, Part 9
「… Is it over …?」
Zana asked in a whisper as the remains of Ra burned away and disappeared without leaving even as much as ashes behind.
「Yes, it is. Do you want to confirm it just to be sure?」
Aur said and turned to Zana, who asked that question anxiously.
「Marina. Answer my question with your ability. Has Ra disappeared?」
「Yes. He has completely disappeared from this world.」
Borrowing Zana’s mouth, Moon Goddess Marina answers.
「What … what was that!?」
As soon as the answer was finished, Zana raises a surprised voice.
「What is it? Are you not getting your memories back? Damn Lilu, she had one job… 」
「What do you mean!?」
Zana grabs Aur’s chest and asks.
「I have Erased my own memories so that the Sun God could not read them. But now that I have used Marina’s power, everything is coming back to me.」
Originally, Marina’s best power is enough to speak foreign words that Zana and Marina should not know. Because even if Marina doesn’t know what will happen, it can even explain what Marina doesn’t know, giving her the means to seize the best possible outcome.
「The first thing I asked her was, 「What is the true identity of the Sun God?」 And the answer I got? The spirit of Uzermart’s father, Setepuenra, who took the god’s power for himself to rule as the ruler of all things.」
「Are you serious!?」
Zana screamed unintentionally at this absurd revelation. Then that means Aur knew from the very beginning. Everything.
「It’s not a matter of being serious or not. Those are the facts.」
It wasn’t easy to use them in the battle against Ra , because let’s face it, when faced with the steps needed to achieve the desired results but not knowing what that result is actually going to be. However, the information gained from that ability was correct.
The existence of Chiru, the god who hid from Ra’s sight. The possibility of Mari’s law. What is needed for each Dungeon. He had the answers to all those questions and yet he chose to throw them away and challenge Ra openly.
「Information are just that, information. You choose what to believe in and that becomes your reality.」
Marina said that, borrowing Zana’s mouth again. For this method to work, Aur had to define what was the best outcome for him. But Marina’s revelation was not meant to be used as such. It was supposed to led Marina and Marina only to her own best possible outcome.
「This was a one-time only offer for Big Brother only.」
That was most reasonable of her to do. If God lend unlimited power to people, the order of the world would have been disturbed beyond all recognition.
「Looks like we have much to thank you for, Demon Lord Aur.」
In the meantime, Rames said that in a louder, haughtier tone than usual.
「Are you Atom?」
「Indeed I am.」
The Sun God Atom must’ve hijacked Rames’ body so that he could talk to Aur in person.
「Although it is a little regrettable that I had to resort to such cheap trickery in order to finally meet you.」
「Stop spouting such nonsense. What do you want? What is your aim now that the common threat to all of you is gone?」
Aur asked with a voice cold enough to froze even a soul solid.
「Relax, Demon Lord. We are the unified Sun God no longer. No that he has perished from this world, gathering all of the four pillars would give him nothing. Which works wonderfully for us, since we want nothing more than to return to how things were, to get back the faith and the power that was stolen from us.」
Kukuru, who had moved to Hoseli’s body, said that she wanted to regain her former glory. It is probably not a reconstruction or regeneration of the country that she has in mind. It’s just a glory as a pillar of Sun God.
And that hope was probably the same for all of the Sun God pillars except Sofia.
「Wahahaha! Such a turn of events was bound to happen sooner or later.」
Atom laughed with a carefree expression, which made Aur feel like throwing up all the contents of his stomach.
「What’s with the scary face now? Don’t worry, right now we lack power to make any kind of move on our own anytime soon. But…」
Listening to Atom, Aur keeps his guard up at all times, anticipating an attack at any moment.
「We will wait for our opportunity as long as necessary. Thousand years or two thousand years… whatever it will take to avoid meeting another man like you.」
With that said, Atom’s expression disappears from Rames’ face and she immediately held her head as if she was in a lot of pain.
「Rames. You should change your faith.」
「I’ll consider it.」
Rames replied, looking as if he was seriously going to think about that.. The Sun God is not a kind of evil God per se you see, It’s just that he has way too much ambition, and doesn’t place much faith in the humans who are supposed to be worshiping him.
But now was not the time for that.
「Papa?」
Aur looked back at his daughter, who was caught in the middle of that ambition against her will.
「I’m sorry … I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry …」
「There’s no need for you to apologize for anything.」
Aur gently strokes the head of his daughter who spills many tears, regretting the role she had to play in all of this.
「But … I told you so many.. mean and selfish things…」
「And what’s wrong with that?」
Aur said in a firm tone.
「Isn’t the child supposed to be selfish towards its parents?」
He simply continues to stroke the soft green hair with his fingers.
「Well, unless you don’t think of yourself as my daughter anymore…」
「Papa…!」
Without even a shred of hesitation, Sofia jumped into Aur’s arms.
「I like you! I love you!」
Sofia embraced him and pressed her breasts against him. But as she suddenly realized something, she turned her gaze down.
「But … I wonder if I’ll be able to fulfill my duty as one of your wives?」
The thing that comes to mind was what happened just before she was taken over by the Sun God. Aur wanted to have sex with her but he suddenly went all limp and couldn’t do it.
「I’m already thinking about the cause and countermeasures … Can you make some hot water for the bath?」
「Yeah… now that I have the control over the Dungeon back, it shouldn’t be difficult.」
As soon as Sofia said that, the earth shook with the roaring sound and settled down after a while. Along with that, hot water came out of the wall and started filling the bathtub. The waterway was connected to the hot spring that had springed from the place where the original volcano was located.
「Lilu, contact everyone and relay the news to them.」
「On it.」
Aur pulls out the leather bag and Lilu enteres it.
「Well, wasn’t that supposed to be destroyed?」
「I never said that I didn’t have a spare on me.」
Aur responded to Zana who tilted her head to the side in a doubtful manner. Even so, he didn’t realize he had a spare in his robe’s hidden pocket until he regained his memory.
「That’s everyone?」
Aur asked when pretty much everyone made his way through the leather bag.
「You don’t know most of them, so allow me to introduce you, Sofia.」
Sofia had no idea what was going on, but before she could ponder it some more the bathroom door opened, revealing a number of beautiful women who marched in.
「Allow me to introduce Ellen, Ceres, Mio, Nadja, Sharl, Wikia, Faro, Olivia, Patricia, Priscilla, Gnome, Melizand … and you already know Tena, Tatsuki, Sakuya, Hoseli, Misha, Zana, Eldav and Rames.」
「Don’t forget me!」
He calls the names of every woman who appeared until a small girl appeared out of a door made in the rocky wall.
「Big Sister……!?」
「Millennial Loli appeared!」
Logan jumps out of Mari’s shadow with a momentum that surprises even Sakuya.
「Looks like you’ve been alive for more than 10,000 years, but are you really a loli?」
「I believe I don’t understand what thou art talking about.」
Logan asked Chiru, who was utterly confused.
「For example, if a dog or cat is five years old, it’s already a good adult when counting with dog or cat years. On the other hand, their growth rate is very slow, so they are not getting that much older in a physical sense. With that in mind, even if you are the thousand years old, you’re still a fine loli! A Millennial Loli!」
She didn’t know what Logan’s words meant, but there was one information that Chiru didn’t miss.
「Is it true? Can you do it? Given enough time, will even I be able to grow up?」
「Oh, oh … well, maybe after about a hundred thousand years, but then you’ll be way out of my strike zone.」
「Setting the horrible way he’s put it in aside, he might be right.」
Aur assures Chiru of the truth behind Logan’s words. He might be a lolicon, but when it comes to those kinds of stories, he tends to be frighteningly accurate. And speaking of Logan, when they were fighting with the Sun God before, was he able to somehow sense Chiru’s presence even when the omnipotent Sun God himself was unable to do it? Question for later.
「But wait! If I will grow after that hundred thousand years, will I still be attractive to my husband as his concubine?!」
「How the fuck am I supposed to know?! You’ll be an old hag by then and I have no interest in old hags!」
「Why is my older sister also Aur’s concubine?! What the fuck happened during the time I was away?!」
To say that Sakuya had difficulties accepting this new development was an understatement. Something needs to be done, otherwise the situation might take a turn for the worse.
「Take that pedo-demon away.」
「Hey! Come on boss, don’t be a douche! I thought we were friends! I just wanted to talk to the loli some more! And stop squeezing my arms so much, you’ll tear them off… hey, heyheyhey, what the hell are you doing?! Get those arrows out of my dick, that poison dripping from them looks hellaaaa toxic…!」
And with that the doors slammed behind them. Aur shakes his head and turns back to Sofia now that the needles distraction has been dealt with.
「Ekhem… lastly we have Lilu, Yunis, Spina … and your mother, Mari. All four of them are my wives… and your friends.」
「No.」
Sofia nodded, having difficulties with holding her tears back.
「All of you are much, much more than that!」
「Also, I finally know the real reason why I was unable to embrace you back then. Thinking about it now, it should have been really obvious. It was not because you were unattractive to me. I just didn’t have enough energy.」
「Didn’t have enough energy…?」
That remark made Sofia unreasonably afraid. That was because Aur, someone who was able to continue to have an intercourse with a woman for a few days and nights without stopping or to satisfy close to a hundred girls at once admitted that he was to weak to handle her. Why would he said something like that?
「Sofia. You are the God of the Sun hidden in the earth, and at the same time the Goddess of the Dungeon.」
She can move around it and manipulate it freely, because it is the natural extension of her own being.
「So your body is full of Godliness.」
That’s why they were almost unable to use any kind of magic in the pyramid: because Sofia’s godly essence temporarily weakened any spells and curses that have already been activated.
「In other words, when I tried to insert myself into you, my thing went back to being that of a 93 year old man.」
「…!」
Sofia gasps. The present form of Aur is the one that has been rejuvenated by magic. His magical energy can be called unequaled even without magical recovery, but his body only looks as young as it does because of magic. His original one is so old that it wouldn’t have been strange for it to die now.
「So it really is impossible for us to…」
「Not if you have a countermeasure.」
Aur’s resolve to solve Sofia’s predicament made her eyes wet with tears.
「But how…?」
Even if only temporarily, Sofia is the same as the almighty God. So how was he going to counteract the power of God’s authority that even she herself was unaware of?
「It’s easy.」
Aur says to Sofia who was still worried.
「No matter how old or shriveled a man’s penis gets, as long as you get it excited enough, everything will become possible.」
