Chapter 486: I Stood a Bit Too Far Away to Be Angry at That Unfairness.

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

You know, senpai, you really are kind after all. Even now, youre being considerate to someone like me.

Well, I suppose so, to some extent.

I said with a slight wry smile at Lukas seemingly humble attitude. By the way, the reason I was talking so casually was that I didnt sense any hostility or malice towards me from Luka.

Of course, that didnt mean I was letting my guard down. A child might innocently pluck a butterflys wings, but from the butterflys perspective, it couldnt just say Ill forgive you because there was no malice. Moreover, since I was apparently a poisonous insect, regardless of whatever intention there might or might not be, if someone reached out to me, I would respond accordingly.

But that could wait until Id heard everything. After all, I wasnt some poisonous winged insect incapable of communication.

So, um, where were we Well, never mind. Anyway, we were sent to this world by God to do something about you, senpai.

The best-case scenario would be to make you choose to end your own life, to finish it there. If not that far, it would be enough if you died and went to the next loop. And at the very least, to prevent you from regaining any more power. We approached you through various means, directly and indirectly, for such goals, but

Luka paused for a moment, making an incredibly sour expression, placing a hand on his forehead and shaking his head dramatically.

Can you believe it? Just when we thought we had finally outsmarted you and sent you to the next loop, suddenly the world doubled in size, and you came back with both your power and memories restored!

Oh, it was terrible! The situation we thought had improved was not only forcibly reset but also created a debt we couldnt even imagine. Faced with this completely unexpected situation, God hurriedly changed our role from dealing with senpai to restoring the multiplied worlds to their original state, and we worked desperately to achieve that.

Well, we somehow managed to complete that without a hitch, so we were about to return to dealing with you, senpai And thats when we thought about it. Ah, repeating the same things weve been doing wont work. So we decided to learn from you, senpai.

Learn from me? What do you mean?!

Realizing the meaning of those words, I instinctively braced myself. Then, large white wings sprouted from Lukas back, and his body was enveloped in a white light too bright to look at directly.

Thats right, we also combined our powers. Some of us had been defeated by you or used up our power in pruning the worlds but now, Im an entity made up of seven or eight Fragment Of God coming together. In your terms, senpai, I guess you could say Im one level above a Fragment Of God.

Well, since it would be awkward to use the same term, Id personally prefer if you called me something like Gods Apostle.'

Ugh

As I squinted, trying to face Luka, the light emanating from his body gradually weakened. When it dimmed to a faint glow, I lowered the arm that was shielding my face. Luka, now without glasses, stood with one leg slightly bent, striking a theatrical pose as if he were some kind of actor.

So, this is the answer to your question, Who are you? Are you satisfied with the explanation, senpai?

Yeah, I get it. I understand very well. However, a new question has arisen: what is such an esteemed apostle doing in a place like this?

An overwhelming presence that ordinary people wouldnt be able to approach, let alone look at directly, and would probably prostrate themselves just feeling its light from afar. Luka, who had forcefully made me realize that he far surpassed me in simple combat power, didnt seem to have come to kill me.

Or rather, if that were the goal, I should have been dead by now. If I had been caught off guard by Luka, who was manipulated to be my junior, I probably would have been taken out even more easily than when Burn did it.

But I was still alive. So what was Lukas purpose? As I probed, Luka displayed a relaxed, somewhat vacant smile.

What am I doing, you ask? Of course, Im carrying out the original objective. Although weve changed our approach a bit from before.

What do you mean?

I just told you that when we killed you before, it turned into a huge mess, right? So if we were to kill you as you are now, theres a possibility that it could turn into something even worse than that. We dont want that. After all, were the ones who have to clean up the aftermath! Absolutely no way! Thats a definite no-go!

Oh, I see. Right.

Faced with such a strong declaration, I nodded along, feeling slightly taken aback. Well, yeah. If the next time the world increased to 300 or something, that would indeed be troublesome.

This isnt just someone elses problem for you either, senpai! Honestly Anyway, we learned from our failures and realized that forcibly trying to do something about you was a bad move. So, we created this world!

Created Wait, youre saying you created this world, Luka!?

World creation was truly the work of a god. The fact that this was accomplished by what were essentially fragments, even if gathered together, made me exclaim in surprise. Luka, looking a bit proud at my reaction, nodded emphatically as he continued.

Thats right! You know how we havent been bothering you for a while now? Thats because we were busy creating this place! Well, since were just a collection of fragments unlike God, when I say we created it, I mean just this area.

It was really tough, you know! Several factors came together, like the lingering conceptual spatial expansion after the doubled worlds were restored to their original number, and the fact that God had properly written what kind of world this is into you as a basic information template. Even with all that, we could only manage to create Lostal town and several surrounding villages.

I-I see So thats how it is

The town and its surrounding villages In other words, the places Id visited over the past half year or so were almost the entirety of this world. It was far too small to be called a world, but thats precisely why a collection of fragments could manage it.

Or rather, it was the opposite. Because they were fragments and not the god itself, this was the limit of what they could do even when gathered together. Even the Demon King, who was a fragment of my power, seemed to be able to use my power of ending only in an extremely limited way.

So, does that mean you created my mother and Taruho and the others too?

Yes, thats right. However, when it comes to humans, we reconstructed them based on the basic information prepared by God, overlaid with the thoughts in your mind about what this person might be like or how I wish this person would be Are you disappointed?

No, I understand.

I responded with a sardonic smile to Lukas words, which seemed to be seeking my reaction. If they had brainwashed existing people to create my mother, I might have been angry, but if they created new people who didnt exist before, reflecting my wishes, there was no room for anger or sadness.

I see, so mother Taruho and the others were born from my ideals and imagination

In that sense, creating the ordinary people in the town and villages was actually the most difficult part. After all, we had to create thousands of people with no information or emotional attachment. You probably remember, right? Like when you first came to this world.

Ah! So thats what it was

So that was the reason why, especially in the small village where I was supposed to have been born and raised, most people felt oddly impersonal or lacking in humanity. Of course, even gods wuldnt bother giving individual personalities to Villager A and so on.

And those people, too, by living here and interacting with me, had their impressions of this person is like this gradually solidify on their own, which is why they now recognized me as an individual and could talk to me normally.

I see, I see. Somehow I feel like I really understand now, like everythings cleared up But in the end, what did you want to accomplish, Luka? After going through all that trouble to create a world and bring me into it What were you planning to do?

That was the most important part of this conversation. Depending on the answer, Luka and I might immediately become enemies. I asked with a sense of resolve, steeling myself and calming my heart. Luka responded with a friendly smile.

Of course We wanted you to settle here permanently, senpai!
