Akinobu Marufuji, the Creator, believed that he was the strongest.
His ability was creation and he is able to create a variety of living things.
Although he can not completely create something out of nothing, it was still an unparalleled power.
Akinobu saw this power as the ability to give souls to something.
It could not be used on animals but it could be used on plants and corpses.
It would be easier to understand that they considered that it could not be used on something with a soul.
However, Akinobu does not really believe that there are souls. It’s just that it is easier to explain if we assume something like a soul exists.
The creature he created obeyed his commands.
Since he could give various abilities to the creatures he could also use them indirectly.
The only limitation was that in order to use his abilities, he had to touch them directly but he was able to overcome this to some extent by using the creatures he had created.
For example, he could create a creature like a tree and let its roots grow.
As long as Akinobu was in contact with the creature he was able to exert his power through it.
Right now, there were still limits in size, speed, and number of creations that he could create however that would be a problem that would be solved as his abilities grow.
Eventually, Akinobu thought he could one day rule the world.

Prophet (Oracle Master) Shigeto Mitadera believed that he was the strongest.
His ability was to foresee fate.
It doesn’t matter how high your status is or how extraordinary your abilities are. If you can not see what’s coming, you will eventually fail.
If he just used his power carelessly, sooner or later he would be overthrown by someone stronger.
Besides, just because you are strong does not mean that things will go your way. There will be times when you fail because of your strength.
In order to achieve his goals, he will need information.
What to defeat and what not to defeat.
Where should he go, what should he get, and who should he meet?
The Prophecy Shigeto contained the steps to achieve his goal. He knew what to do and how to do it in advance.
It was presented in the form of a book, so not everything was written in it.
However, it did contain the bare minimum of what is needed to conquer the world and although it takes a few tricks to read it, Shigeto was mastering it.
The prophecy presents the necessary information if you set a goal.
The current Shigeto’s goal was to annihilate the Sages and reign over the world.
Certainly, if he fought head-on he would not be able to defeat Akinobu or Laguna, nor would he be able to defeat a Sage, the superior who gave this Gift.
However, not being able to defeat a Sage; the parent of the Gift, only means that he could not directly use the Gift’s abilities, not that he couldn’t get the information to defeat the Sage.
So, even if the Creator can’t defeat a Sage, the Prophet (Oracle Master) may be able to.
Shigeto was gathering the necessary items and human resources to do so.
Fortunately, for now, there was no such thing as a time limit.
If you read the prophecies and do things carefully, you will eventually get things done.
Shigeto believed that he who controlled the information, would in turn control the world.
＊＊＊＊＊
The femme fatale, Rei Kujima, believes she is the strongest of them all. Note: Sexual/Seductive Woman
Her powers include calculating the use of the opposite sex and persuading them.
In other words, it was the ability to find and seduce useful men.
The Creator, Akinobu Marufuji, and the Prophet Shigeto Mitadera were probably unaware that they were under Rei’s control.
They had; someway, become unable to go against Rei and they naturally followed her wishes.
Originally, the overlord did not have any ambition to defeat the Sage and rule the world.
It was just that Rei had convinced him to do so.
There was no good reason for doing so.
She was just trying to see to what lengths her men were willing to go for her.
And she was enjoying the ride to see what happens.
They could do whatever they wanted to stay safe in this world.
But that would only lead to a boring life in peace.
There was no way to return to the other world anyway.
She wanted to be as flamboyant, exciting, and entertaining as possible.
She(Rei) wanted to live an interesting life.

Through an ancient city, Hanakawa and his friends climbed up a long flight of stairs.
After the tedious journey, they finally reached the ground and found themselves in a forest.
The building that served as the exit soon disappeared without a trace, so it seemed to be a one-way street.
As soon as they left the forest, they found a road and noticed city walls a little further away.
It seemed to be the imperial capital of the Ent Empire.
The endless city walls gave away the size of the Imperial City, but Hanakawa was a little disappointed.
Hanakawa was disappointed because the city looked almost the same as the ones he had seen so far.
He was expecting something Japanese since it was an island country in the east, but it doesn’t seem to be very different at all.
Hanakawa was still leading the way.
There were no specific instructions, so they headed straight for the imperial capital.
There were no checkpoints at the gates and they were able to go straight in.
“Now that we’re in the capital, what should we do then?
“Our next stop is the Adventurer’s Guild. The Black Flash Dragon Treasure will be needed there.”
Shigeto referred to the prophecy and said, “Ho!”
“I’ve never heard of such a thing.”
A similar facility existed in the royal capital of the Manny Kingdom, but the nature of that facility was probably different because they were selling the right to enter the demon world.
The prophecy seemed to include a map to the guild and following the instructions, they arrived easily.
The inside was basically like a tavern.
Inside were a number of tables set up, and the walls were covered with request forms.
There were people drinking and making noise in the daytime so the place seemed to be thriving in its own way.
“Hmmm. It seems to be thriving. So, do you have to register with the guild in order to be here?”
“No, I’m already level 99! Status check at the time of promised registration is rather surprising! “
Hanakawa had been forcibly dragged here, but he thought it would be fun.
He hadn’t had a good time since he arrived from the other world.
He was not sure if this was a good idea or not, but he’d like to see something good happen soon.
“It’s a pity. It’s up to you, Laguna.”
“Gosh …… is that what the jewel is for? When I registered as a guild member, I submitted the part that proved I killed it when I came here. I’m sure you’ll be surprised to know that I’m not the only one.”
It would be interesting, Hanakawa thought.
It was a pity that he wasn’t the star of the show, but he thought it would be nice to see it up close.
“Hmm? Do I have to register for that?”
“Yes, that’s right. If you register, you can get money for killing demons and stuff.”
Laguna didn’t seem to understand what was going on, but he followed them to the reception.
It was decided that they would all register together.
-Oh! How exciting, even after all this time! I can be an adventurer!
Hanakawa was impressed.
A newcomer to the guild got involved with a thuggish adventurer. He hadn’t expected to see such a common development in a story with his own eyes.
The thug was poorly built, dressed in leather trousers and a riveted jacket. He looked like a picture of a thug, so much so that he could only assume he was doing it on purpose.
At the same table there were three women, all beautiful. They seemed to be more worthy than mere hoodlums; but even so, there is no getting rid of the feeling that they are lowly.
“Hey, hey, hey! You don’t look familiar. How dare you walk past me without saying hello?”
“Hello!”
„Hello, hello…… that’s not what I’m talking about! Are you serious?”
Laguna was greeting him in a foolishly honest way, as if he didn’t understand the situation.
“So what’s this all about?”
“You want to sign up for the guild? I’ll be the judge of that!”
“Why the screening?”
“If you want to join the guild, you’re going to have to beat me!”
The thug stood up.
He was still a lanky, weak-looking man.
“Yoshifumi, are you going to do that again?”
“Come on, let’s have a drink.”
“Who cares about the new guys.”
The women say in disgust.
He always seems to be baptizing the newcomers, but only the real newcomers could beat Yoshifumi.
“I’m in trouble. You want me to beat him?”
“Laguna! Just play along. You could literally knock him to the floor. That should do the trick.“
Shigeto thought it would be a bad idea to kill or seriously injure someone when they were about to register with the guild.
“It’s a good idea. I’m sure I’ll be fine.”
“I’m sure you’ll agree. If you get over, then you’ll have won!”
Yoshifumi was terrified, even though Hanakawa was not afraid of him.
He knew he was going to win or lose before he even fought, and he was just a clown.
“I’ll go then.”
“Come on!”
“Yes?
Hanakawa did not know what had happened.
Blood spurted from Laguna’s neck, staining the ceiling red.
The body collapsed, turning the floor into a puddle of blood.
And then Laguna’s head was obliterated.
“Yoshifumi, the receptionist is going to be very angry with you.
“Cleaning is gonna be hard work!”
“I told you, we’re not gonna get any more recruits.”
Yoshifumi sat down on a chair, wiping his knuckles. He had apparently punched him, but he had no idea what he had done.
“Hey. Sage candidates. I’m late in introducing myself. I am the Emperor of Entente. My name is Yoshifumi and I’m a Sage. Nice to meet you.” Note: Entente should be right
“It’s funny …… that the emperor …… is here ……the Sage.”
Shigeto was still dumbfounded.
“What does it mean? That a thug wins? I was hoping that things would go according to plan here!”
“To defeat the Sage, you would need the World Sword Omega Blade! The most important goal to the Ents is to get the World Sword but there’s a Sage named Yoshifumi here! If you encounter him before you get the sword, you’ll be annihilated! However, Yoshifumi is an emperor; which is unusual for a sage, so his location is limited. You’ll be able to avoid them if you’re careful!
Hanakawa remembered that the prophecy had said so.
