Against the Goddess's power, the Last Boss was a joke.

In short, under the guise of being a tutorial, the Last Boss was easily defeated.

I mean, it actually took seven days and nights of relentless and torturous torment, but yeah.

Even though the Goddess hadn't been asked, she said, "Huh? You still don't get it? Well, I guess it's a tutorial, so it's only natural that I can explain it again!" It was to the point that I was feeling sorry for the old man, whose body and mind were healed once more.

Oh, and I was the one to deliver the final blow, by the way. "Now, let's try using your abilities yourself! It's as simple as severing the connection between his brain and body, okay?" was how she got me to do it.

[Ooh, my apostle. You've done well, defeating the impudent one who called himself the Chaos God. Well done.]

Having swapped places with me, the Goddess spoke in my mind.

It wasn't even much of a challenge since all I had to deliver the finishing blow to the Last Boss, who was reduced to saying, "Kill me… Kill me…" Under the guise of a tutorial and with the Goddess using all her power, he'd been reduced to 1 HP. It only took a single minute of actual work.

… So, in other words, the Goddess just used cheats to completely wreck the Last Boss, right?

"Goddess… did you even need me?"

[Yes. It was necessary for procedural reasons.]

I see. Nothing we can do about it if it was necessary for procedural reasons.

… Wait, now that I think about it, what exactly are these [Procedures] that the Goddess can't disobey? Is there something even higher up? Crazy.

[Well, I'm satisfied now that I've gotten it out of my system. So, as a reward, you can do whatever you want from now on.]

"Ah, sure."

[Please pray to me at a church if you want to talk to me. Aaand ノシ.]

… Did she just think ASCII art of an arm waving to me? Using Japanese? Is Japanese even a thing in this world?

… … …

…

Wait, that's it?

Seriously?

Did I just get abandoned?

…

When I looked around, the surrounding area was completely in ruins.

It was apparently an Alchemy Kingdom ruled by the self-proclaimed Chaos God, but it had been completely reduced to ruins by the Goddess's full power.

That area over there was probably the result of the Goddess connecting the upper and lower points, causing debris to fall infinitely, accelerating and duplicating it all, and then unleashing barrage of debris as shotgun-style meteors. And that area over there was probably the result of the Goddess cutting everything in a straight line with a dimension-severing all-cut.

Some places were completely reduced to ash by the Goddess's instant spatial environment, Area Terrarium. Still more places were completely turned upside down by the Goddess's Reversi, which inverts the upper and lower points of a designated area before dropping everything back down because gravity exists.

The most decisive of them all was the Goddess's forced infinite storage Black Hole and its accompanying instant full release White Hole. That alone could've been enough to mess everything up.

… Yeah, so any one of them could have destroyed a country by themselves.

Spatial Magic is super badass. Though maybe only the Goddess can use it to that extent…

"Anyway, I'm sure there'll be stories about how this country was destroyed in a single night by the Goddess's wrath in the future."

A country that was destroyed because someone was calling themselves by the name of the Goddess's beloved person (beloved god?), huh…

I decided right then and there that even if I were to start calling myself a God, I would never call myself the Chaos God.

"Alright, so what should I do now…"

My goal kinda got wrecked. The self-proclaimed Chaos God was already dead. The Goddess even said I could do whatever I wanted.

"Should I go look for the survivors of this disaster… Nah, I don't want to be hated. I spent seven days on this, so I'm sure they've seen my face. Let's hightail it."

The Goddess did it! It ain't my fault!

Therefore, I teleported up into the sky. After that, I teleported to the mountain that I could then see from the sky.

Should I feel relieved now?

I took a deep breath in.

And my stomach growled.

Come to think of it, I fought for seven days and nights, but I still hadn't eaten anything in this world yet.

I was thinking that maybe I'd gained a body that didn't need to eat, but that was just because it was a tutorial, so in normal circumstances I'd still get hungry.

In the blink of an eye, I grabbed a fruit that looked like an apple with spatial magic.

… According to Basic Knowledge I got from the Goddess, it looked like one of the edible fruits. Om nom nom.

It seemed like I couldn't use Basic Knowledge without conscious effort.

It was like having a [Basic Knowledge Dictionary] in my head. Well, she at least made it so that I could understand language and the like as a bonus.

"Hmm, at least I don't think I'll have to worry about anything with spatial magic, so I guess I'll be fine."

I could even duplicate this apple-like fruit, so I wouldn't have to worry about food.

But living in the wild would be a bit of a struggle for a modern Japanese person like me. I'd rather live a more cultured life.

You know, like having a toilet.

… Does this world even have toilets? Mmm, looks like there are slime-type button toilets.

Wait, some people have been attacked by overgrown slimes? Scary~

I wonder if there's some sort of mechanism that could prevent slime backflows by making use of some flush toilet concepts.

According to Basic Knowledge, it didn't seem like it. If I didn't make it myself, it wouldn't exist.

"… Maybe I'll try being a craftsman… nah, maybe a merchant…"

Come to think of it, the Goddess said something about being a merchant, hadn't she?

It seemed like I was being guided by the Goddess, but even if that was the case, it wasn't a problem.

I scratched my head and decided on my future course of action.
