Shinka no Mi

"This is the underworld..."

After we rescued Elemina, we heard that the flock's Ajito could go from the underworld, and we left Elemina to come to the underworld.

It's still a creepy world, and there's a lonely atmosphere all around.

Sarrias, who were new to the Underworld, looked around unusually, but Al, Origa, and Zora looked pale somewhere.

"W-what is this feeling..."

"... nn. My spine feels terrifying"

"No, that's a bad sign..."

Well, it's certainly a creepy world, isn't it?

"It's not that light!? What do you mean... As a creature, I can't stay here... I feel like that"

Al spoke with a difficult expression on his face.

When I said that, I certainly didn't feel that way... no, I don't think so.

Even when I first came to this world, I didn't feel anything like that.

But Al is right, this is the underworld, and it is strange that there is a living being.

Thinking about it, Al's reaction is normal, and it's strange that he doesn't have any sense of crisis like I do.

However, I'm curious to know that Sarria and Luluné are doing this in a normal way... I wonder if that would change something depending on whether or not they ate the fruit of evolution?

When I suddenly thought about it, I suddenly heard a loud sound on the ground.

It's slowly approaching us, and the sway is getting bigger and bigger.

"Eh!? Awesome shaking...!"

"Hey, what the hell!?"

"......! I can't stand up......"

Sarria and the others knelt down on the spot in an unexpected manner and managed to withstand the sound of the ground.

Since I was standing up normally without any particular problems, I noticed the abnormality late, but instead of immediately supporting the Sarrias, I realized that they were all clinging to me. Oh, hey?

However, it seems like you can withstand the shake if you get caught by me, and everyone will look for the cause of the shake while strengthening their facial expressions.

And so......

"Ah, that's...!"

There are two figures who will run towards us with all their might.

It was the Deva Kings statue that existed on Earth. The expression of the statue shouldn't have changed, but now it looks very anxious.

And it's coming to us with a great running form, even in the eyes of the amateur.

... It's too surreal.

The Deva Kings stopped right in front of us when everyone was dumbfounded by such a strange sight.

”... it's been a long time, Seiichi-sama...”

Ah, underworld-san.

"" "" Underworld-san!? "" "

As the Deva King stops in front of us, Sarria opens her eyes as she reacts to the voice of the underworld that has spoken in everyone's brains.

I know what it's like to be surprised, but I'm getting used to it.In fact, even in the eastern country, you were very active in the world!Besides, I was talking to everyone to make sure they heard the same as they did now!

{...... I certainly told you to come again before...... but I didn't expect you to come again......}

"No... even with me, I didn't mean to come to this place unpleasantly..."

Because he's not dead!

Then, the underworld looked somewhat troubled.

"... no, Makoto didn't have any particular problems... but other people had problems..."

No, don't worry about me, too?

Why am I the only one who's okay?Because I'm still alive, right?

”... well, it's gonna be okay... I'm related to Seiichi-san...”

Is that all right, Underworld!

Come here, but isn't that appropriate!? Look, the Deva Kings are having trouble reacting!

{...... So, what can I do for you today?...... Are you really just here to play?

"That's right, I can't just play in the underworld..."

He explained that the [Demon God Cult] was here, one by one, while pulling his cheeks at the words of the Underworld.

Then, the underworld tells in a harsh voice somewhere.

”... I can't believe there's such a thing in me...”

Eh, you didn't know about the underworld?

"... yes... to hear the story, the lord of the place seems to be our Creator God... so it must have existed without us noticing it... but considering that there were other creatures coming and going without my knowledge... it's not a very overlookable situation..."

Certainly, not only was there anger, but the gods were also coming and going through this place, and it must be a problem for the underworld that they didn't realize it.

Thinking like that, the Underworld gives instructions to the Deva Kings.

”...... That's an order. Use the evil spirits around you to find a suspicious place......”

I wonder if that meant consent. The Deva Kings each took a muscle pose, and they left the room for a moment.

"... sorry for the inconvenience, but please wait a moment... I will also look for it, so I will report as soon as I find it......"

Please.

In that case, the underworld also disappeared in search of Zijito.

I turn to Sarria when I see signs that the underworld has gone somewhere.

It looks like the Underworld will split up and find us, so let's wait a little bit.

"No, no, no! Isn't that weird!?"

Al, who's the first to come back to his senses, suddenly sucks.

"Even though it's weird to be called out from the underworld, I don't need our help!? I don't even know how to tell those two statues!"

"I-Is that so?" But you hear the voice of the world in the eastern country, right? "

That's right, Konchikosho!

Al was holding his head in my mouth.

"It's strange... I wouldn't normally believe it, but we've already experienced it...!"

"Hmm... well, I'm sincere."It's better not to think too deeply, right? "

"Sarah... I can't do this... is this really a human being...?"

I'll be told from time to time!?

Al's words were unexpectedly returned to me, and I waited for a while as the Underworld said.

◇◆◇

... Seiichi-sama... I found the place I was looking for...

"Oh, really!?"

When the Underworld began to explore the Order's landscape, the Underworld called out again.

However, the sound sounds somewhat unfortunate.

I don't think you're doing well, but what's the matter?

"... no... if it's true, it's me, so I thought I'd deal with it myself... but I still can't reach God with my power... and I thought I'd bother Seiichi-sama's hand again..."

"Well, don't worry about that much, right?"Haha, hahaha. "

I could only laugh with a dry laugh at the shameful voice of the underworld.Al Jito is looking at me next to me!

"Well, that's okay!" I need you to show me where it is right now. "

I see... I see... I couldn't see any enemy shadows around, but if they show up, we'll take care of them...

"It's all over the place..."

”... yeah... in the name of the underworld... I'll handle it perfectly...”

Scared!?

What does the underworld have to do with it!? I have a feeling it's going to be worse than death.

While having such a conversation, she finally reached her destination as she progressed through the stunning underworld.

The Deva King statues are already standing by, keeping an eye on their surroundings to keep the apostles and gods away.

And in the position where the Deva Kings were trying to defend it, a magic circle was painted that showed a terrible sign.

Looking at the magic circle, Sarria and Lulunet frowned for the first time in the Underworld.

"What, what? That magic power..."

"... unpleasant, Sarria-sama"

"What's the matter?" both of you.... "

Sarria and Rune seemed to have noticed something, but now, on the contrary, Al didn't feel anything from the magic circle, so they twisted their necks.

"Well, it certainly looks terrible... but I don't particularly feel like my spine freezing in this world."

"I don't know what to say... this world is a place to reach when you die, right?"I mean, this is where the world needs to be for the creatures, but I don't think we're going to feel uncomfortable living now.So even if we don't like it, if we think of it as a place where our creatures will eventually arrive, we think it will be our last home. ”

"Oh, is that...?"

Both Al and Oliga burned their heads in Sarria's explanation.

Hmm... I can't quite understand Sarria's words, but seeing Rulne nodding to Sarria's words, I think it might be a strong sensation because I've lived in the wild.

... heh? But Lulunet is the donkey that was originally at the monster dealership, right? What's wild?

Well, let's understand that animals are instinctive things that feel strong.

"But the magic power flowing from that magic circle is different... I can feel something like nothingness rejecting even the last sabbath of [death]..."

"Void..."

"Lord, I don't know how to explain it, but I don't think that magic can be in our world."

"Until Rune..."

Not only me, but also Al and the others were surprised at the situation that even Lunais, who was always in a hurry and prioritized her appetite, was saying that.

"... I'm surprised. The cannibal is saying something decent..."

Are you selling quarrels?

Well, so-so.

Zora was in a hurry to exclaim... but let's keep quiet about the day-to-day work.I can't talk about people either.

Then, the underworld, which had been silent until now, opened its mouth in an abhorrent manner.

”... as Sarria and Rune-sama pointed out... the magic power... mustn't exist... No, to be more precise, it mustn't exist in the world...”

I think the power of that magic circle belongs to the demon god worshipped by the Order, but why can't it exist?

”... As Sarria said, not only on this planet, but in the universe, in space and time, in all dimensions... no matter where you look, death is bound to come more than being a living person... even if you are a wanderer of the immortal......”

"Is that so!?"

I'm concerned about the power of the magic circle, but I'm more surprised that people who don't die die!?

Are there any creatures that don't die in the first place?Isn't that dead already?

Of course, you can't die just by living normally... but there's always some way to give death to such beings... it could be in another space-time or another dimension...

"I-I see...?"

"... that's what it means. Death is one of the few things that comes to all beings equally, even if it is something to avoid in life..."

When I'm told that, it's probably true.

I've heard that time is equal around the globe, but even though the flow rate is the same, there are many factors such as how long that time will last, so it's hard to say that it's equal after all.

If you think about it, dying means that no matter how much you refuse, you can come here on your own, and if you want to die yourself, you can choose to die.

Well, while I can live positively, I want to live positively!

"So... the magic circle in question... the power in that magic circle is the power of God itself... the only God who can be completely transcendent from the things we just told you about, such as death and life... After all, those gods created all of our stars, the universe, life, and dimensions... the concepts of life and death were only created by the gods..."

Isn't it true that things are getting too big these days?I haven't been able to keep up with you, have I?

”... and the gods, who are the beginning of everything... they can do things that they didn't (...)...”

Didn't you know that?

”... yes... I've been born... and existed...”

!?

We were stunned by the words spoken from the mouth of the underworld.

To be alive... would be to not be alive...!?

"... this is the very nature of the feeling of emptiness that Lord Sarria spoke of... that power rejects everything... the history that humans have walked... the relationships that they have spun... the memories that have accumulated... deny everything, as if nothing had happened... that's why I can't even get to the place where I died... because it doesn't exist anymore..."

"Oh no..."

I want to say that I'm flying too fast... but I'm a god, and that's normal.

Maybe it doesn't even feel normal.

I see. If you've created life, you can destroy it.And without even leaving a living proof of who he was.

When I was sent to this other world, the gods who taught me about it could do the same.

But you sent me into this world without doing it, and without erasing it because there were too many humans on the planet.

Well, I ended up being summoned by the Kaiser Empire's Hero Summon Monster.

However, if I didn't exist, I shouldn't have done such a slutty thing, but that god didn't.

I guess that's because that god cared about me a lot. I want to think so.

However, its power now exists as an enemy.

Can I really fight against such a god?

Everyone was silent, including me, in the words of the Underworld, and the Underworld spoke mysteriously.

"... what's the matter?...?"

"No... I knew that was not a strong dimension because I was going to be dealing with God, but when I saw one end of that power, I knew it would come in..."

{...? Why?... I think you can afford it if you're Seiichi-sama...?}

"Are you sparing me!?"

Eh, even though it seems like it's been drifting off until now!?

"No, no, no, no! You can't afford it!? Because you're a god!? And you can do things that didn't exist..."

... Seiichi-sama can do it too...

"I can't, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!"

I can't! Nobody can say anything!

That's why Al-san, don't look at me like you're serious!? I'm just a human being!?

"... no, but you can--"

"Haaaaah! I can't hear anything!That's why I'm coming, well, ahh, tomorrow! "

I approached the magic circle, blocking my ears to block the words from the underworld.

The underworld is talking in my brain, so it doesn't make sense when I plug it in!

As Al approached the magic circle to follow me, the magic circle reacted to us, or glowed more.

And ---.

Ah, Master!? Do you want to use me?Let me do it! It's the order's right!? It will deliver a safe and secure transfer!At the same time, you can take away the power of the demon god, but will you come?

……

The magic circle talked to me.

That voice suddenly made me think.

― ― ― I might really be able to do the same thing as God.

Thinking like that, I naturally hugged my head on the spot.
