Chapter 458 – King of Beasts (6)
“… Professor Slayer?”
It was an illusion born within me, another me who was urged to release the anger I harbored.
Of course, that shadow is not really a real being.
The identity of that white flame was the old god’s mana, and in the process of accumulating it, I made the unsublimated anger into that form.
In other words, it was my alter ego in which the impulses I most wanted were embodied.
Sssss… !!
As I regained my self, the darkness that had engulfed me wriggled away as if regretting it.
The distinction between dream and reality is still not clear.
From my perspective, the scene looked like the sun rising over the hills. In such an unrealistic and dreamy world, Professor Slayer stood forever, burning white.
It was then that the change occurred.
I must have noticed that Professor Slayer was looking at me. The being that was nothing more than a lump of the old god’s mana was looking at me worriedly with eyes that clearly possessed an ego.
“… Oh yeah. Is it a kaleidoscope before death or a dream? Is it like that?”
Then I got it.
The fact that I didn’t have the stamina to open my mouth and said this would be explained if it was right before I went to sleep on the border of life and death.
“Nord.”
Professor Slayer spoke with a face that only had eyes.
“If you want to rest now… I won’t tell you to work harder.”
“If it looks like she is lying down because she wants to rest, her eyes are seriously strained. Can’t you see they’re being forced to rest?”
“It looks like that. But, you don’t have to try hard. No one has the right to forcefully encourage your will.”
“That is also wrong. There must be at least 4 people in the world who can urge me to cheer up.”
Of course, this guy doesn’t go there.
I grabbed consciousness in a world that melted away without reality.
The wound felt like it had been filled. It was as if the tar and flesh had fused, and the entrails were barely pushed in, and the outside was wrapped in plastic wrap. It’s probably a trace of a failure trying something as the darkness erodes it.
It’s a good thing. It felt like it would explode just by scratching it with my fingernails, but if I woke up from this dream, I would be able to move.
I leaned over Stonehenge and asked.
“… Did you make the earth?”
“Yes.”
It was an immediate answer that left no room for mental preparation.
“Precisely, before the end came, I joined forces with the others and molded the earth and water into spheres. I created an environment where life can be born and grow, and I spread it like it was on the back of the world tree.”
The professor slayer created the shape of a tree and the shape of the earth, and scattered the shapes.
“It is the moon reflected on the surface of the water, so to speak. So your history is very similar to the history of our world.”
“Are humans a life that repeats the same mistakes?”
“Now you speak like a god. Similar Not the humanity we created, but a new humanity born of our own will. The most flawless chaos…”
She stopped talking and shrugged her shoulders.
“Of course, I don’t know because I haven’t seen it myself, but looking at your behavior, it must have been quite different from our world. History seems to repeat itself, but it cannot be completely repeated.”
“Are you explaining history to an archaeologist?”
“All I know is that I have more than you. For example, the trivial arrangement that Uranus left before his death would have served as a substitute for us for several generations in your world?”
“Oh, those bastards? I just played the game and built up a rape myth before leaving.”
“Eh, lie. Really? Are you the son of that land? How?”
“I don’t know.”
How far can Greek mythology be true?
I didn’t know that a system of myths that only existed on Earth would be connected like this, but it wouldn’t matter if I didn’t flirt with my wives after returning to Earth. I don’t even know if he’s alive.
I said with a smile.
“… I heard you were watching, was it like this?”
“It’s a coincidence. Accident. You said you can only appear in a dream by borrowing someone else’s existence. You just made a strange alter ego, so I thought I liked this and stuck with it. Thanks to that, it was nice to be able to watch from the side, even if only during the fight.”
So you gave it a name like the absolute perforation area? You must be the type of spectator who intrudes directly into the movie.
I smiled and asked a question.
“So, did I even come to this world?”
“… That’s what I said last time too. It wasn’t my intention If the two worlds are this close together, it seems that there are times when they are connected by chance. There are days when it becomes easier to connect with the other world and this world, but what if it’s the same world… There is no way to stop it.”
“Indeed. If it’s that kind of coincidence, you can call it destiny.”
“… That’s why I said I won’t stop you if you give up.”
Professor Slayer lowered his eyes apologetically.
“Although Rodur’s blessings fall on those who have crossed over to [Middle Branch], That was an arrangement in preparation for the time when the dog will connect the World Tree and your world one day. I can only honestly say that it was my responsibility for you to come here.”
“Write… I don’t know why the person who is called the god of wisdom is so misguided.”
I woke up gasping for breath. Professor Slayer seemed surprised and tried to retreat, but tripped.
“There have been a lot of shitty things in my life, and falling into another world was one of them.”
It was like that until he was taken as a slave and suffered in the lab room. No, in fact, even when I left Carmine University and had reckless aspirations, I felt like shit in this world.
Didn’t the experience of hell, such as having your thesis stolen, happen because you came to another world after all?
Look, I’ve always lived only on Earth. I didn’t even suffer that much. Maybe.
That’s why she never sang it well, even though the god of Deutsch’s eyes was a mess.
“But the days of wry jokes are over. To me, this world still sucks and sucks at times, but if I hadn’t come here, I wouldn’t have met my wives and other people.”
It’s not like the intention is forgiven because the result is good, but according to this guy, isn’t it what Ji intended?
So there is no reason to grumble and grumble anymore.
Yeah, that’s not like a forager.
“… Are you forgiving me for that? You have a big heart.”
“Do you have anything to forgive? Likewise, I will not thank you. It was all just a coincidence. The fact that I came here, the fact that I keep getting caught up in some grandiose modifier, and the fact that I met many people including you. It was all just a trivial coincidence.”
I winked lightly.
If the flow of all these events were the product of chance, it would be a sufficient offering for her.
What kind of pleasant irony is that her successor, who was ruined by her fate, was decided by chance.
Did she even understand what I meant? Her one-eyed face smiled.
“That’s right. If it’s all a coincidence, I won’t be grateful.”
“It’s a bit ugly to be cool there.”
“Have you studied less theology? I am originally a petty god. Still, there aren’t many opportunities to talk like this, so why don’t you ask me something more?”
“Hmm… Then what was that? That dingy one.”
When I asked about the darkness that engulfed my body, she chose her words a little before explaining.
“It’s best not to get involved, but that won’t happen either. Well… What do you mean? I was the god of wrath, the god of wisdom, the god of magic, and the god of death and storm. He had so many different deities.”
She covered the other side of her back with her hand.
“However, I have never been a ‘god of madness’ for a single moment in my life. Do you know what I mean?”
“No, is it a riddle again? Let me tell you something cool.”
“I thought you would know. Oh? Come to think of it, this is what I said last time. Didn’t I give you a hint at that time, saying, ‘We must not be ruled by madness that is not ours’?”
“I did. In fact, this is a verification process.”
“Ahang. A trustworthy successor. But sometimes, after fighting like this, I lie down and that’s okay.”
She whispered, pressing her witch hat against her eyepatch.
“Wouldn’t it be a loss for me if I gained a perfect successor and then reached Buddhahood with peace of mind? Also, a man who seduces a woman naturally has to have a bit of a taste for violence.”
Putting on her hat, she scattered as pieces of light.
“… Oh, yes. Anyway, thank you for the sudden appearance.”
Is it a fad among the gods to fly away into the sky when they disappear? I got tired of looking up now, so I answered while putting my head forward and stepping out.
“Thanks to all of my sleep, Odin.”
The boundary between dreams and reality has collapsed.
How much was a dream and how much was reality?
When my blurred vision and sense of time returned, I was standing in front of Stonehenge, looking up at the hills.
And Horsha was still there as well.
[… You look more like a ‘beast’ than me. Can I be immortal?]
[Wolfhedin seems to be that kind of guy. What if you go back to being a troll?]
[It’s not even a joke. Even if you die and come back to life, your speaking skills don’t seem to improve.]
I laughed at the unmoving half-Ra warrior.
[Unfortunately, it seems that humor is not a selection criterion. I think the guy who can’t meet God is probably the kind of guy who pulls back because he’s afraid of losing during a fight.]
[… It’s fun. Certainly, winning cowardly here won’t shake my hesitation.]
Patter—! Horsha coolly slid down the hill.
I could have attacked him in the middle of it, but I didn’t want to do it against a guy who showed me machoism.
It is hard to find even scratches on Horsha’s body. Her mana has decreased quite a bit, but unlike before, she will have more than me. Because she was in such a state, if she said that she came down proudly, she looks a bit stale.
─Such.
I wrapped my stomach and pushed my right half forward.
The right arm is in Shanks state, and there is no spear.
Even if you try your best, defeat is certain as you are lagging behind in all areas.
If it’s the same way as before.
Horsha twitched her eyebrows that were not covered by the blade of her sword.
[You look relieved. Have you lost any lingering feelings while wandering between life and death?]
[I’m the type to get things out of my hands when curiosity builds up. But now, almost everything I’ve been curious about has been answered.]
It’s like an advanced monkey or a new human being untouched by the gods.
Doesn’t Kakarot and Son Goku mean the same thing?
So, by chance, as long as they don’t get their hands dirty with sin——that professors and graduate students might be essentially the same.
‘They look completely different, but they are all one.’
It was the same with Mana.
Beast Regression, [Gerture], And magic all start with mana and end with mana.
There were so many hints.
Perhaps the truth is hidden like a child hoping to find it in every corner of the world, giving thanks to those who recognize its existence.
[Sueuuuuu…]
I drew my breath into my lungs and wrapped it around the mana-catheter in my body.
In Beast Return, it was exactly the same as [Gerture].
It’s something you can do just like breathing.
To put mana on one’s body and release it.
Because that was the way I used mana that I was good at.
When I opened my eyes at the end of such a deep breath.
[──Transformation.]
Kuwi Yi Ying ── !!!
——My body was covered with a brilliant fluorescent aura.
Fluorescent mana drives away the abyss that covers the ruins of a ruined country!
[This… !! How are you guys!!]
Horsha’s astonished clothes and hair fluttered in the pressure of the aura. My manatong, which was showing the bottom, flickered, reminiscent of nuclear fusion. The available time will be short.
Does not matter.
It’s just that the time it takes to win is reduced by that much.
I roared like a thunderclap.
[Come to come——!! 4 times——!!!!]
Covering my whole body with an aura that burned wildly, I dashed away as a green meteor.
