Chapter 504 – Episode 504: Holy War
“B, Bain? Are you perhaps… talking about the God Bain?”
【Yes, I am that very God Bain. One who has strayed from the providence of this world.】
One who has strayed from the providence of this world.
That was what I heard when I first met Solly.
【Hmm, or would you prefer to be called by the name you were given when you were born into this world? Rent.】
“That’s shorter and better.”
【Hehehe, then I shall call you Rent. But… you’re not very surprised.】
“I’ve already had a similar experience.”
【Hmm, how bland.】
Come to think of it, the faint laughter I heard when I woke up yesterday.
Could that have been God Bain’s laughter?
No, before that… is the being in front of me really God Bain himself?
“Are you really God Bain?”
【What do you mean?】
“Aren’t you like… a spirit fragment like Solly?”
【Solly… ah, that’s what you call that spirit fragment of Solly. Yes, yes, well. You could say it’s similar. Certainly, I here am not my main body. I am merely manifested here in the form of a spirit fragment. But…】
God Bain chuckled and said.
【Unlike that Solly, who was merely given simple knowledge and then abandoned, I am an existence that is practically another God Bain. In other words! I am superior!】
Hmph! God Bain, or rather, Bain, since it’s a spirit fragment, looked very confident.
But is there some kind of rivalry between God Bain and God Solly?
However, I don’t like it when she speaks ill of Solly.
“So… why am I here?”
【Of course, it’s because I want to talk to you. And to thank you.】
“Thank… me?”
I couldn’t understand why Bain was thanking me.
【Yes, to express my gratitude. You like women, don’t you? Especially women with big breasts. So, I even changed my appearance like this for our meeting. How is it? Do you like this body?】
“Yes.”
I had no intention of lying about that.
【Hahaha! You’re honest. But know that I have no intention of giving you my body like that spirit fragment. I’m grateful, but I don’t want to engage in the act of creating life with you.】
It would be troublesome if she suddenly asked to do it anyway.
Still, I felt a little disappointed that it wasn’t possible.
【But watching is free. Well, do you have any poses you want? I can do that much for you.】
“I like this pose.”
If we were going to have sex, I would ask for various arousing poses, but if we’re just talking like this, I didn’t feel the need to.
In the first place, the natural sitting position she’s in now is even more arousing.
Anyway… why is Bain so grateful to me?
“May I ask a question?”
【Of course.】
“Why… are you so grateful to me?”
【Because you’ve entertained me.】
“I… entertained you?”
【Bain?】
“You are a spirit fragment of God Bain, after all.”
【…I don’t like that you’re using a similar title to that spirit fragment, but whatever, it’s your choice how you call me. You wanted to know why I’m grateful, right?】
“Yes.”
Bain straightened one leg from her cross-legged position and rested her forearm on it as she spoke.
【I was bored. Death and destruction keep happening, but there’s no real stimulation or change, so it was incredibly dull. I was even thinking of creating a Demon King. But… something very strange happened in my toy box.】
Toy box… if it’s God Bain’s toy box, the only thing that comes to mind is the dungeon.
“Are you talking about the dungeon?”
【Yes, the dungeon. That’s what you call my toy box. I was bored when I felt that a part of my dungeon was being destroyed. Someone appeared who broke a part of my toy box that no ordinary being could ever break. Not just once, but multiple times! Yes… it was you, Rent.】
That was when Elsie was kidnapped, and I went to rescue her with Noah.
【It was fun! It was refreshing! I never imagined that the toy box itself would be destroyed, not just the beings inside! And I watched you, Rent. After that, even though you didn’t destroy it directly, you showed me various destruction and death within my toy box! In a way different from other beings!】
Bain seemed very excited.
【I kept… kept watching. I was looking forward to seeing what kind of destruction and death you would show me next! But… suddenly, that Solly started interfering by sending a spirit fragment to you. I was really not happy then. Well… thanks to you, I felt better again. I wonder why?】
“Umm… b-because I killed a lot of monsters during the flood?”
【No, of course that was great too, but what made me feel better again was right after you met the spirit fragment.】
“Right after?”
【Hehehe, to make Solly’s spirit fragment do such a ridiculous dance! Hahahaha! That was the first time I’ve ever been so amused! To see that always arrogant being in that state! Even if it’s a spirit fragment, to see it do such a seductive and flattering dance!】
Ah, she must be talking about the pole dance I made Solly do when we first met.
【Originally, I was going to intervene and prevent her from interfering again, but… I was curious about what you would do to that spirit fragment next, so I let it be. But the destruction and death you were showing me was getting a bit boring. So… I played a little prank.】
I could immediately guess what that prank was.
“That’s the flood, isn’t it?”
【Yes! The flood! I wanted to see you rampage and cause destruction and death! To do that, I specially created a large number of monsters from the layers you had destroyed! The result was very satisfying! It was thrilling! It was the best! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen so many lives die like they did a thousand years ago!】
Hmm~ I could tell very well that she had a rather biased taste.
【I’m still enjoying myself just thinking about that time, so your destruction was the best entertainment for me. So… this meeting is also to express my gratitude for that.】
“Ah, I see.”
【But that’s not all. The dream connection… I’ve also seen what you were like while you were meeting Solly’s spirit fragment. And… heh, heh heh, hahahahaha!!!! To make that Solly’s spirit fragment like that, even though there’s almost nothing in common except for the physical structure!
Hahahaha!!! To turn her into nothing more than a female completely intoxicated with pleasure! It was truly delightful! To use possession to share sensations! That was a method I didn’t expect!
Ah, that wrestling concept you did yesterday? That was fun too. The spirit fragment’s helpless state was very pleasing to see!】
It seems that God Bain has been watching me quite a bit.
Bain wiped away the tears that were flowing from laughing too much and said.
【Really… you’re someone who never bores me, Rent. Let me thank you again.】
“Yes. Ah, may I ask one more question?”
【I already said, you can ask me anything.】
“God Bain, you are a god who governs death and destruction, right? But creating monsters is also a form of creation… how is that distinguished?”
【Ah, that’s a good question. Solly and I have almost the same power. The only difference is that we have different preferences. Both the power of creation and the power of destruction are possessed by both Solly and me. Solly likes the way life creates new life or objects… and I just like the way life dies or the way created objects are destroyed.】
After that explanation, Bain snorted as if she was bored.
【But recently, Solly’s influence has grown, and I haven’t been able to play as much as I want. That’s why I’m so happy that you appeared, Rent.】
To summarize, God Bain, who was bored because Solly’s power had grown, gained pleasure from me and appeared to express her gratitude.
“Oh… w-well, that’s good. Is our conversation over then?”
【No, there’s one more thing. Actually, I have a favor to ask of you.】
“A favor?”
Bain stood up from the bottom and approached me, then looked up at me with a bewitching gaze and a smile like a beast.
【It’s good to see many lives die, but… I also want to see a large life die spectacularly.】
Bain placed her hand on my chest and said.
【You said you like flashy things too, right?】
“…What are you trying to do?”
【What else… I’m just going to create monsters to show me destruction and death, just like you’ve always done. And I’m just going to send those monsters towards Camel, where you are now. But this time… I’m going to create two very big ones.】
Bain took her hand off my chest and stepped back for a moment.
【So, show me enjoyable destruction and death again this time, Rent. Otherwise… other lives will die?】
The moment she finished speaking, the space surrounded by the black forest disappeared in an instant along with Bain.
“Rent…!”
Solly appeared with the usual dream connection space.
“Solly.”
“Are you alright!”
Solly touched my body with a very anxious expression.
This was the first time I’d seen Solly like this.
I hugged Solly tightly and calmed her down.
“It’s okay, Solly. You don’t have to make that face.”
“Rent…”
Solly hugged me for a moment, then stepped back and asked me.
“What… what happened? Suddenly, the connection with Rent was cut off.”
“I met God Bain… Bain.”
“Bain!?”
“Yes.”
I explained to Solly what happened when I met Bain.
After listening to my explanation, Solly made a very serious face.
“To think that God Bain has been watching Rent all this time…”
“It seems like something big is going to happen, like during the flood. Solly, did God Solly contact you about anything?”
“…It just came in. God Bain has created a large number of monsters near Camel… and a Hydra and a Giant Cyclops.”
“A Hydra and a Giant Cyclops?”
“Both are giant monsters over 50 meters tall.”
“A giant death means the death of a giant monster.”
I didn’t think I would lose.
Besides, according to Bain, God Bain likes the act of life dying or being destroyed.
In other words, she also likes it when the monsters she created die, so she made this request on the premise that I would defeat the Hydra and the Giant Cyclops.
…Honestly, I’m a little excited because it feels like I’m going to fight a giant monster.
While I was thinking that.
“I… won’t forgive it.”
Solly clenched her fists and trembled.
“S, Solly?”
“I absolutely… won’t forgive it.”
Solly was incredibly angry.
“To take away even a little bit of my life’s driving force… my reason for existence, the dream connection time. And…”
This was the first time I’d seen Solly so angry.
“To spy on the time that’s just for me and Rent…!!! I absolutely won’t forgive it! To spy on us without it being a play that Rent wants! I will never forgive that!”
Solly was very angry that her time with me had been reduced even a little by Bain and that our play had been spied on.
I’m sorry to Solly, but… that made me feel like she valued me very much… and Solly’s loveliness increased even more.
“Solly…!!!”
My heart was filled with emotion, and I hugged Solly tightly.
“Kyaa! R, Rent?”
“I love you, Solly!”
“I, I love you too♡ B, but I’m also angry at the same time! I want to complain to God Bain! And I need to take measures to prevent God Bain from seeing us!”
“I get excited when I think God Bain is watching.”
“Then let’s leave it as it is! If Rent likes it, I’d rather she watch us more!”
Solly always put me first.
But I thought it was also important to relieve the anger and stress that Solly had received.
Is there a good way?
A way to relieve Solly’s stress and solve this situation, which is more like a request to show something enjoyable than a request from God Bain.
“Hmm… ah!”
At that moment, a brilliant idea came to my mind.
