Chapter 386: Though It May Start out as Calculation, if You Continue, It Will Become a Bond

“Yotto… Well, this seems to be about it.”I aligned the three elements and became a “higher being”., but under the omnipotence that now seemed capable of anything, the first thing I did was put on clothes. Well, you know… Right? Being completely naked wasn’t acceptable, is it?
“Or rather, looking at it this way, my physique hasn’t really changed, has it?”
The spare clothes I took out weren’t particularly tight or loose, and I could wear them normally without any issues. There were no additional hands or legs, no wings or horns growing, and my body seemed unchanged from its original form that was blown away.
“Here, Ed. I’ve wiped it clean for you.”
“Oh, thanks, Tia. Sorry about that.”
“It’s fine. If you wore that filthy thing as it was, the clothes you just changed into would soon be soaked in blood.”
“Yeah, sorry about that. I really appreciate it.”
When my body was blown away, the clothes and leather armor I was wearing tore apart, but the bag and sword were just thrown aside normally. However, they were scattered with blood and bits of flesh, so Tia cleaned them neatly with spirit magic.
I conveyed my gratitude and apologized as Tia handed me the sword and bag while observing my body with a furrowed brow.
“More importantly, is your body okay? It looks like nothing has changed, but… you didn’t know beforehand that it would turn out like this, did you?”
“Well, obviously. I’m probably the most surprised.”
With the soul as the core, the body was reconstructed to match the acquired power. As a result, it seems that the original body on the outside, like shedding or metamorphosis, was blown away… It’s just, the scene is the worst. I think it would be nice if it evolved a bit more nicely… Huh?
“Whoa!? It’s disappearing!?”
“Oh, yeah. The original Ed’s body is disappearing.”
While we were talking about that, the flesh and blood that had spread on the ground turned into sparkling particles of light and disappeared. What in the world…?
“Oh, that’s how it is. Remember when you were killed by Burn before? It was like this, too, your body disappeared.”
“I see. So it’s the craftsmanship of the God, huh? Oh, even the blood soaked into the bag is disappearing, too. This is convenient… What’s wrong, Mao?”
And as we were discussing such things, the Demon King suddenly looked at us with an extremely puzzled expression. Then, after realizing what I had noticed, the Demon Lord, who had been opening and closing his mouth several times in confusion, spoke again.
“…Even though it was an incredible sight, the fact that you two are calmly conversing, huh. Should I say you two are truly the main body and its partner?”
“Well, both Tia and I have been through a fair bit.”
“Is it just a matter of experience?”
“The details don’t matter. Anyway… this should work, right?”
I grinned smugly and drew the [Dawnbreaker] that I had attached to my waist once again. Holding it straight with both hands, I lightly imbued it with the power of the “higher being”. A thin film began to cover the surface of the blade, as if the true dawn had always resided within the sword.
“Suu… Fuuu…”
Quietly breathing, I thrust thousands and tens of thousands of swords into the world as if cutting out a circle. I focused on the fragments of my power created by the [Copy and Fake]. Then, as if using [Auto Mapping] everything in this world became visible in my mind.
“Alright. All the actors are ready. Let’s wrap it up and give it a debut.”
Holding up the shining sword horizontally in my right hand, I slowly moved the tip in a circular motion. A thin black membrane connected my sword and the outer swords, and the world gradually became shrouded in twilight darkness.
“Wow! What is this!?”
“You can touch it but feel nothing!?”
“But it’s there!? So mysterious!”
“It’s beautiful… Haha, it’s like wearing a dress of the night sky.”
The membrane spreading to the height of my chest couldn’t be physically interfered with. Even though the fairies happily moved up and down, it didn’t stretch or tear, nor did it coil around Tia’s body when she turned around.
However, it certainly existed. After completing one rotation, the remaining world sank beneath the membrane, and the stage was set.
“Now, it’s time for the end of dawn. Open up! ‘Curtain Call Beyond the End of the World’!”
As I loudly shouted while thrusting the sword into the ground, light gradually spread from the eastern side of the thin black membrane, just like the sunrise. And as the final dawn filled the world, an enormous power flowed into my body.
“Ugh!? Ugh…”
“Ed!?”
“I’m fine! Be careful! It’s starting…!”
I held Tia back with my voice as she reached out, and at the same time, I issued a warning. The fact that all the remaining power in the world was converging on me meant that this world was rapidly coming to an end.
“The sky…!?”
“Is this… the true end of the world…?”
Like glass cracking, the sky began to fracture and break apart. The earth trembled violently, and the world outside the place where I thrust the sword collapsed into nothingness. Of course, the inside was not safe either, and I could tell that the earth was crumbling away like poorly baked cookies.
“This is the showdown. Get ready, me!”
There was hardly any time left. To make the final stand, I once again held the sword with both hands in front of me and concentrated my consciousness.
“…No, the ground is crumbling… No, it’s disappearing!? And it’s rapidly approaching… Ed!”
“I’m okay! Suu… HAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!”
With all the power gathered in the raised sword, I swung it down into the empty space. The sword filled with the world tore through the space in front of me, and beyond the crumbling gap was a world similar to this one… but much more abundant with light and life.
“Alright, we made it through! Let’s go to the other side!”
“New playground!”
“Let’s go!”
At my words, the fairies all rushed into the gap. Now, it was just Tia and the Demon King…
“Hey, Tia! What’s wrong!?”
“The Demon King…”
In front of my turned gaze, Tia was desperately trying to support the Demon King, who was kneeling and unable to move. But it seemed impossible for Tia to support the massive body with her strength alone, and she couldn’t get him to stand up no matter what she did.
“I’m fine, leave me behind.”
“I can’t do that! The fairies love you so much!?”
“…That’s not true. What the fairies love is the ‘sweet things’ I produce. And I can’t produce sweet things anymore… because I’ve given most of my power to Ed.”
“――That’s not the point.”
“That’s why it’s okay. I’m counting you to take care of the fairies.”
“No! Ed, isn’t there anything you can do!?”
“――Sorry, I can’t move right now.”
To Tia’s tearful plea, however, I couldn’t respond. If I were to move here and now, this world, already teetering in imbalance, would collapse in an instant. While I ground my teeth in frustration… but then, a miracle occurred.
“Mao, skipping~?”
“Mao, let’s go~?”
“Uuu, Mao, heavy~!”
On the other side of the hole… where the fairies were supposed to have flown off to a new land, they returned and began to lift the Demon King’s body. Each of their strengths may have been small, but with dozens or hundreds combined, his body gradually began to rise.
“Are you idiots!? Why did you come back!? I can’t offer you sweets anymore!”
“So what?”
“Mao is our friend~!”
“Mao, will play with us~?”
“You guys…”
“Save the emotions for later! Hurry, hurry! Seriously, hurry!”
Already, most of the planet had collapsed, leaving only this Demon King Square. There probably wasn’t even 30 seconds left in this world.
“Grrrr! Move! Move, my legs! Even if I die tomorrow, it’s okay! So just move now!”
“If you die tomorrow, that’s not okay! Huppppp!”
“Ugh! Ugh!”
“Do your best! Hang in there!”
“Heavy! Stinky! But we’ll take you with us!”
As if dragged along, the Demon King’s body moved toward the crack. Helplessly watching, I fretted, but just in time, his body was thrown into the crack on the other side.
“Good job, Ed!”
“All right!”
In response to Tia’s call, I hurriedly crossed the gap. Two seconds later, the land where I had stood disappeared, and it seemed like the world on the other side had completely collapsed, but… there was still one final touch remaining.
“This is it! Engrave, [Nothing Beyond Here, The End]!”
With the power of ending, I swung the sword horizontally into the crack in the vertically split world. Then a jarring dissonance echoed… and the scars connecting the two worlds disappeared completely.
“Haa… haa…”
“Ed?”
“…Yeah. We did it.”
To Tia’s inquiring voice, I answered with a smile as I sheathed the [Dawnbreaker] into its scabbard. Ah, now I can say it. The little show-off finally became the real deal.
“All things, nothing is impossible!”
Under the endlessly clear sky, I shouted loudly toward the shining sun.
