Chapter 101

Creation

The hamsters showed no signs of being at all bothered by Tanaka, who appeared in front of them, and simply continued to relax with their bodies lying on the beach chairs.

..

What a bold gang of hamsters. Their boundless appearance was surely nothing short of a fleet of a hundred thousand ships that were certain of victory. Even Tanaka, who had always strove to maintain a high degree of flexibility and act by ear, had no choice but to give it to them.

As Tanaka stood frozen in his tracks like that of a mountain, one of the hamsters finally showed a reaction. He(?) slowly took off his sunglasses and made eye contact with Tanaka.

Oh, thank you. Im sorry that somehow I seem to have made you be considerate of me.

Before he knew it, a beach chair for humans had appeared in front of him. Tanaka sat down without any semblance of doubts. And then he leisurely relaxed himself.

Phew, with this Ill be able to take a breather now Wait, huh?

It was here that Tanaka finally realized it.

Why am I being so lax here? Rather, although this chair appeared out of the blue, why did I not find it strange at all? And before that, why am I able to understand the hamsters thoughts?

Tanaka turned his gaze back to the hamster from earlier. There he saw a hamster who was displaying a good grief gesture as if saying youre still half asleep huh. Rather, the hamsters thoughts were clearly transmitted to Tanaka.

Do I actually know it? This place, I mean?

The other hamsters, who had continued to relax, were also now staring at Tanaka.

I see, you guys are me. And this is my world

After being banished from the world by Morinaga, Tanaka was stranded in the crevice of worlds. There was a world of nothingness. It was a dark world where even Tanaka, who possessed a strong body, would not be able to escape death at that rate. In the height of extreme confusion, Tanaka subconsciously performed the only option he had to save himself.

World Creation. The creation of a new world.

However, the creation of the world was not something that could easily be done even for Tanaka who possessed enormous power. There, by embodying his own inner world, Tanaka saved himself the trouble and detached himself from the crisis.

In other words, while the world that Tanaka was in now was a new world that he had created, it could also be said to be his other half. As the world itself was akin to Tanaka himself, naturally he was able to perceive all of it. However, as it was also an unknown feeling that he had never experienced before, Tanaka felt a strange discomfort in his perception of this world.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Stop being so willful! Just let it go, at the right moment! Now should have been the perfect time to end the conversation, right?! Lets stop it already, its going to lead to nothing but suffering, after all. Its too hard to go any further, after all.

Tanaka-san was in denial, even to himself. His borderline comical figure overflowing with loner aura was truly aloof. It would surely be a perfect teaching material for elementary school students who bore admiration to aloof men. As a result, it was up to the readers imagination whether they would aim to become an aloof man as they were or reform their path.

Well, its that, you see. We have to think about what to do from now on.

Tanaka changed his gear and looked up at the sky.

The sky created by Tanaka himself. Rather than space, what was spread there was a wall with a meager light source, like a monitor. There was nothing on the other side of it. This world, which was no bigger than the size of a gymnasium, was drifting in the world of nothingness.

Suddenly, the blue sky vanished.

It was as if the world had turned into night. However, in the darkness that looked like the night sky, there was only a stretch of blackness without even a single star. It was unmistakably an empty world of nothingness. A darkness that was impossible to perceive because there was nothing. In fact, there was not even darkness, just nothingness.

Tanaka focused his consciousness. The power of God within him. He used this power to expand his consciousness in an attempt to decipher the essence contained in this nothingness.

Eventually, a variety of lights emerged. It was akin to a night sky with twinkling stars. It was the existence which was the embodiment of contradiction in the nothingness.

Countless worlds created by multitude of Gods. Some were just gaseous worlds overwhelming with energy. Some were a world where everything was occupied by rocks. And then there was the world of an extensive universe that Tanaka was familiar with. A variety of worlds, large and small, were sprouting in the sea of nothingness. They were existences reminiscent of warm light in the midst of nothingness. Each and every one of them was brimming with origin energy and was sprouting with life force. However, among them, there was a single existence that was different from the others. This existence that made Tanakas heart tighten and grow cold was.

That guy is the God of Destruction, huh.

The negative energy that exhibited an overwhelming presence in the world of nothingness. It was an eerie existence that was unfathomable even for Tanaka, who had sucked dry the magical energy drifting in a certain world. In a sense, Tanaka, who had created a new world, albeit a small one, was standing on the same grounds as Gods. However, the difference in power between him and an ancient God was an obvious one.

Tanaka was assailed with a sense akin to impatience.

He could not sense it now, but it should exist on that side for sure. The world that he was in until just a moment ago. The world that the God of Destruction was vigilantly eyeing for.

However, the current Tanaka was unable to feel anything because the existence of the God of Destruction was in the way. Even if he were lucky enough to be able to overcome the interference of the God of Destruction, there should be the barrier of the God of Creation beyond it. It was unthinkable for Tanaka to be able to pass through the barrier that the God of Destruction was unable to break.

There was no hint to break the barrier either in the magic circle that he had just examined. It must have been the special power of Morinaga that opened the barrier during the ritual.

For the time being, Tanaka had no choice but to continue drifting around in the world of nothingness along with the world he had personally created. While praying for everyones safety.

By the way, this everyone was limited only to the women he had met so far.
