Four huge thrones sat in the center of a certain universe.

A voice echoed from the golden throne.

[I never would have expected this result.]

The Thunderous Lightning God was the one to break the silence. His voice spread across the entirety of the dark universe, and it seemed to carry a hint of irritation within it.

The Lightning God might have spoken lightly, but the reality of his words was anything but.

Rulers usually took most of the possibilities they could imagine into account when they encountered something. But their concept of ‘most’ was generally different from that of others.

After all, it was possible for a ‘mere’ mortal to imagine hundreds of thousands of possibilities into account and select the most probable ones from the group.

For a Ruler, this was something they could do without even thinking too deeply about it.Thê source of this conte/nt n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

And the thing that had just happened was one of the possibilities that even the Lightning God thought had an extremely low chance of happening.

[Is Nodiesop completely dead?]

The Sun Giant answered the Lightning God’s question.

[I can no longer sense his presence in the multiverse. It’s as if he disappeared into the imaginary world.]

[...]

The imaginary world.

A place filled with mysteries that even Rulers were unable to ‘rule’ over.

Naturally, the Rulers found the existence of such a place extremely unpleasant. It was to the extent that the Lightning God became displeased just by the simple fact that the Sun Giant mentioned the imaginary world in the first place.

[First of all, it seems like I’ve lost these qualifiers. So I’ll accept the results. Notify me later if the situation changes.]

After saying this in his unique blunt tone, the Sun Giant directly left.

Now, the only beings that existed in that universe were the Lightning God and the Demon God. It was at that moment that the Demon God finally opened his mouth for the first time.

[...the Dragon God is still in that world.]

[Are you going to order Kasajin to put an end to her?]

[That’s not necessary. It wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing for us if she becomes a Ruler again.]

[It’s an absurdly slim chance. Even if she became a Ruler again, I wonder if she’ll regain her old prestige.]

In the first place, it was an unprecedented situation for a Ruler to lose their position in the first place. Even if she was to regain her strength, it was impossible to say whether she would regain her former power.

[I only believe what I see with my own two eyes. Even the Black Horned Demon God cannot change that fact.]

“That’s... not someone who only lives because of his grace should say.”

The woman chuckled.

“I think you’re just denying reality. What’s with the attitude? What’s wrong? Are you upset that your rival died-”

[Shut up.]

Kasajin reached out a hand and picked the woman up by her slender neck.

“Kuk.”

It was clear that with even the slightest bit of force, the woman’s pale neck would be crushed without resistance.

Kasajin’s eyes burned red, but the woman simply smiled at him.

Even though she was struggling to breathe, she still opened her mouth to speak.

“Hu... huhu... I didn’t think you still had any emotion left in you.”

[...]

“As expected. How interesting. You...”

Kasajin let the woman go before she could finish her sentence.

The woman fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

“Did you see it for yourself?”

0

“What?”

[Lukas’ transcendent body being shaved away, and his soul trembling in anxiety just before it was destroyed. I’m asking if you saw it with your own eyes.]

“I don’t need to. The Rulers are all convinced that he’s dead.”

[...I see.]

Kasajin clicked his tongue.

[Stop trying me, Ringo. You have work to do.”

“Ah. But it’s scattered all over the place. First, I’ll need to kill our cute little Kran’s mental strength a bit more. Now is the best time since the Priestess’ barrier has weakened.”

With a slight bounce in her step, the woman, Ringo, left the room.

Soon after, Kasajin, who was left alone in the hall, slowly closed his eyes while cupping his chin in his hand.

[You definitely wouldn’t let me down. As always... So answer me. Where are you now?]

With his eyes closed, Kasajin shook his head.

[Go ahead and prove to me that you really are Lukas Trowman.]
