Desire

Bethel, goddess of order. The ‘order’ that this goddess symbolizes is unbiased. The absolute foundation of order that she speaks of is herself, and what is right and wrong is determined by her view of God.

[Actually, that's the thing about order. The foundation that decides him depends on his point of view. Is it right for humans to kill and eat animals? This is a very old argument. Vegetarians are against butchering animals, claiming they can replace their meat with something else.]

He smiled bitterly.

[So is God. Especially when it's so... ambiguous. It may seem uncomfortable to you as a human being. But even so, Bethel is a goddess of order. Her point of view, her meddling compass. That's an absolute order for her.]

Ajin refused to understand. First, it was a no-swim that kidnapped her adoptive daughter, Camilla. Camilla didn't die, but she almost died and it must have been in danger. What is wrong with punishing him?

[It's a human perspective.]

Adim shakes his head.

[And it doesn't work on Bethel. She's not a vigilante, she's not a law god.]

It's a frustrating story. Azin looks at Camila as he shrugs. Camila, returning to her room, sits dazed on her bed, staring out the window.

“Forgiveness and mercy. ”

Camilla opens her mouth. In that voice, Ajin looks at Camila in horror. Camila looks out the window, her head popping, and she goes back to see her pain. Blue eyes. I can't see the end in that depth.

“Have mercy, forgive. She must have had her reasons. If you have mercy on her and forgive her, she will truly repent of her sins and bow her head to you.” “... Ha! ”

A hollow smile emanates from Azin's mouth. He presses his finger against the flimsy temples and pulls the chair towards himself.

“... What is it this time? ”

How many times have I seen Camilla like this since I brought her into the room? March

Like flipping a switch.

Camila, who was dazed, talked to Ajin in a way that made her a different being. In this regard, the other gods provoked Camilla's fully Awakened Crab as a saint. Adim, who occupied the spiritual corners of Ajin, said in a bitter voice.

[God of Mercy and Forgiveness, Rashan. I'm Bethel's brother and her husband.]

“Husband?”

At the words of Adim, he asked again because he was ridiculous. If you're a brother, you're a brother. But a husband?

[You shouldn't be surprised. Humans have many problems with marriage, but it's very common for God to have an intimate relationship.]

In response, Laden laughs in vain. I can't believe the myths of the real world are so close-knit, even the gods in the game.

"The couple are screwing around in pairs. Forgiveness? ’

Azin clenches his trembling fist. He was very, very, very patient. I didn't kill the swimmer because of Adim's warning that Camila's personality might be destroyed, and I barely held back what I wanted to go crazy.

And yet, again, you expect me to forgive and have mercy?

[For now... it's best to be patient. He's very unstable right now. It was only after the Demon King came that he would awaken as a saint that he had awakened a few years earlier to overcome death. Physically and mentally immature, especially when the mind has collapsed and the body has been awakened once. There's nothing good for you in a situation like this by using his body as a vessel to provoke the powerful gods.]

Adim, who read Azin's fury, once again warned me. In response, he took a deep breath while whispering boiling whispers. But Adim was much more tolerable than the other gods who asserted Camila's body as a vessel. He has not yet entered Camilla's body, and has continued to comfort her by placing her in the corner of his mind for Azin.

“... Wait. ”

The door that was closed was opened. Azin turns his head to look at the door. With a black snow scent and a Persian look on his face, he looks at Azin.

“... we need to talk. Are you okay now?”

Persian bites. Azin nods, raising his head. Ajin has not yet told Persian and Raw Snow about the progress of this incident. What has changed in Camilla's body, and why has she become like that? Azin sighs deeply and looks back at Camila.

“Goodbye. ”

Camilla says with a blank face.

Hearing that expression and voice, Azin clenches his fist.

“You should be punished. ”

Acacia puts a lot of pressure on her eyes and stares at Gladiolus. It was impossible for a transcendent to ask God for a conversation, but given the situation, I could not just stand idly as Acacia.

“What should be punished? ”

Gladiolus asks, "Acacia's brow twitches as she sits on a throne and looks down at the gladious chin."

“You really don't know that. ”

“You mean Noya's actions. ”

Gladiolus shrugs. In his audacity, Acacia quickly changed her teeth. She leaps up to the top of her ladder and barely feels the urge to choke Gladiolus.

“... Azin had completed his innocence.” “Almost done. ”

Gladiolus points to him.

“If I had, I would have done it.” “After that, the world of First will be completely destroyed. It's too late to intervene then. That's why Noya intervened appropriately. ”

Gladiolus replies, not wrong. If he had completed the atomicity by using his emotions as a catalyst, he would have killed and destroyed everything he could see.

“Noya wouldn't have been able to intervene if the polarity was complete. So Noya intervened first. I intervened in the process of completing the apocalypse, and I took away his epiphany.” “Are you ignoring Noya's actions? ”

Eventually, Acacia looks at Gladiolus and spits out. The room begins to flutter with her life. Gladiolus smiles as he looks at the black darkness spreading around Acacia and the sparkling eyes within.

“I respect you more than Dudu. And watch out. ”

Gladiolus' lips opened.

“Noya is aware of the existence of the system but cannot intervene directly in the system. Acacia, the five transcendents, including you, want you to be a game master and ‘preferably’ neutral, but Noya is not even a game master. ”

Gladiolus slowly said. Hearing that, Acacia opened her lips to protest and closed them again.

Because Gladiolus was right. Noya... is NPC. A little, special NPC. Noya is aware of the gaming system because Noya, made of NPC, has repeatedly exceeded the limits of NPC.

“No matter what NPC does in the first place, it is the freedom of NPC. You don't get to be the game-masters and me killing NPCs. Similarly, NPCs interfere with players.” “... I think we need to make an exception. Noya's running wild right now. Keeping Noya like that quiet...” “I told you. Noya's not a game master, she's not a transcendent, she's just an NPC. Noya, the NPC, said she'd do whatever she wanted. Why would she punish him?” “You've suffered a loss! ”

The impatient Acacia shouts.

“Ajin, my proxy! This definitely brought about a tranquility and became the dominant peak among all the delegates…!” “That's right. ”

Gladiolus admitted it, and Acacia was speechless for a moment.

“If you say so, you can't punish Noya. This is just an unfortunate accident. Instead... let's do this. ”

Gladiolus rises up. He raises his hand and reaches forward. A complex formula is drawn around the widespread hand. Acacia looks at the hand of Gladiolus with a slightly stiff face. Even as transcendent Acacia, she understood only a part of the equation floating around the hands of Gladiolus.

What are they building? ’

Only Gladiolus has the power to create something by linking it directly to the First's underlying system. By understanding some of the changing formulas, Acacia knew what Gladiolus was building was a skill, but she couldn't understand what it was.

“It is impossible to bring back the realization of innocence. Already it's gone, and enlightenment is something that even a god can't bring back. ”

Gladiolus speaks in a deep voice. The formula disappears and a small sphere is formed on the palm of Gladiolus' hand.

“So let me give you a skill to replace him. You want to check it out? ”

That's what Gladiolus asked me, and he pointed his finger at Acacia. The floating sphere slowly moves toward Acacia. Acacia swallows a gulp and receives glodious spheres with both hands.

No drama.

Acacia was surprised at the name of the skill first, checking the contents of the skill and once again surprised. Nonviolence is a form of mind. Skills that complete the mind, establish self, and give it absolute character. Even though it was not a skill that established the mind and self and created absolute like the original non-polarity that I knew, it was a skill that arbitrarily granted some absolute to existing skills.

“This should be able to compensate for the missing realizations. Instead, add a penalty. ”

Gladiolus' eyes narrowed.

“I am satisfied with the apocalypse and worry that I will no longer carry out the apocalypse, allowing the apocalyptic Demon King to vanish at the time of his arrival.” “That's too...” “That's a lot of concessions for me, Acacia. Do you know that your attitude is quite contradictory? You've intervened several times to stir up pain, even though NPC is a game master who needs to be neutral, pointing out what Noya did. ”

The words closed Acacia's mouth.

“Of course, I said before that you, who are transcendents, would tolerate a little intervention from your representatives. But you went a little overboard.” “That's..." “Are you making excuses?" Even though I know the truth? ”

Acacia shuts up. Acacia was directly involved in Persian abductions. It was to stimulate azine.

“This much satisfaction and retreat. Or... do you think we can get rid of the polarity we've been working so hard on?” “No, no, no. ”

Acacia responded in a hurry. If you insist here, you will get nothing else. Gladiolus' attitude was firm and would be of great benefit to Azin, even if not as much as the complete tragedy known to him.

‘There is a penalty for extinction... but the Demon Lord still has years to come. ’

Acacia's head rushes back.

‘It is possible that the absolute polarity can be completed through the child. Damn oars. If this son of a bitch hadn't intervened...! ’

Acacia wanted to punish Noya on her own, but that was impossible. In this world, Noya is equal to Gladiolus. No matter how hard Acacia tries to kill Noya, Acacia can't kill Noya.

“I want you to deliver it to Ajin yourself. ”

Gladiolus once again sat on the throne, saying,

“And I'm sorry about this. ”

I haven't heard from him in days, moving and organizing.

A lot of the readers were angry about Noya's behavior, but Noya was the character that put her up to it.

In fact, the designer cider has a pissed-off character who fills up the gauge and gives it to you later.

Someday... someday...!
