At night, Alice was talking to Iris when she placed fruit on a bar counter in the basement of her house.

"... so how did the fruit end up?"

After verification, my physical abilities and magic power will increase 1.5 times for an hour or so.

"... that's it? It's an auxiliary magic that's much better than that, and its effects are modest."

"... but that's not the case."

Considering that all the abilities were 1.5 times more powerful, there were many magnifications that exceeded the auxiliary and enhanced magic, and the effect seemed modest compared to the fruit of the original world tree that healed all wounds.

However, Alice shook her head sideways at the words of Iris and silenced her a little before telling her.

”... I tried this... and my abilities were 1.5 times higher”

"... you're not using Hecaton Cale's ultimate form?"

Yeah.

"I see, let's retract the foreword."It's a tremendous item.... "

Hearing Alice's words, Iris withdrew her earlier remark that the effect was modest.Alice has built up all her abilities to the limit and usually only grows when using the Hecaton Cale Ultimate, which evolves indefinitely without further growth.

Considering the premise, the fruit of the world tree created by Nepula...

"... this increase in ability due to the fruit exceeds the limit of the user's ability by a factor of 1.5.Moreover, if you think that "it will be adapted after every enhancement", including the ability raised by strengthening magic, it will be 1.5 times, it is a ridiculous product. "

In that case, as you feared, is it possible that Nepula is the ultimate god?

"Hmm, I think that might be the case..."

What? This time, it's a lot of bad stuff.

Alice was lost, and Iris told her that she had seen something unusual.Needless to say, Alice is overwhelmingly smart, and it is no exaggeration to say that her thinking speed and brain are among the best in the world.

Ellis expects that Alice would have already made a rough hypothesis, but for that reason, Alice's expression didn't come to mind.

Understanding that, Iris decided to proceed with the conversation with Alice by asking each one.

"Are you making a hypothesis?"

"Well, if that's what I'm thinking... she was once called the Ultimate God."

"Hmm, but isn't it the Spirit, not God?"How do you explain the area? "

"It's not completely speculative, but when Eden talked about the end of the story (epilogue) before, she was giving up the nuances that would allow Chiras and Sharovanal to revive the ending existence.From that, I think it is likely that Sharovanal will be able to revive the existence that ended with the end of the story (epilogue). ”

Having spoken to her, Alice took a sip of the cocktail offered by Iris and continued to explain.

"However, just resurrecting the opponent who finished it would be of little benefit to Sharovanal-sama... and I expect that it will have some effect on the subject when I resurrect him."

What do you mean?

"For example, if you can impose restrictions on your abilities, or if you can't defy Sharovanal... then you can be convinced that your race is a spirit, and that it is obviously less capable than what you've heard."After all, even Makina is too powerful and it seems that it is difficult to come to this world normally, so I don't think that she can show her presence in this world without letting her down. "

"... I see."

Although Alice was speculating, she had almost arrived at the correct answer, and she was almost certain that Nepula was the same person as the Ultimate God.

"The rest is intuitive."I'm doing quite a few things, so I know if I can beat them intuitively at a glance. ”

"Hmm... did you feel like you couldn't win?"

"No, I thought I could win normally."Even if she unleashes her potential to the fullest, I have the impression that she is quasi-all-powerful, and even if she suddenly hits Kite, I and Kuro will be able to deal with it. "

"... but then, isn't it more likely that someone else is?"

"Yes, I thought so at first... but I wonder what."For some reason, I feel like I'm going to lose by [unfolding unilaterally].Simulating my attempts to eliminate Mr. Nepula as a dangerous molecule on my own... I have no basis, but I don't feel I can win at all for some reason.Well, it might be different because it's really just a guess, but I think her ability to include everything is limited. "

"I see... it can only be triggered in battles where the opponent is inactive, or something like that..."

Alice has a tremendous amount of combat experience, and the intuition she feels is quite accurate.The intuition said that it was dangerous to try to unilaterally eliminate Nepula.

"... well, I've put together some ideas, so I'm going to check with Makina once."Makina will know the truth. "

"Hmm... even though there are many guesses, it seems that my thoughts are firmly stuck... but why didn't I relax?"

"No, that's it..."

Asked by Iris, Alice sipped a cocktail with a subtle expression on her face.

"... the first impression I get intuitively, the feeling I've talked about, the normal behavior... no matter how much I think about it, Nepula-san is... the 'good person at the root' and only seems to be a 'good person like Kite-san', right?"

Yeah?

"I don't feel that the common sense of a world-creating level god is skewed, and I don't seem to be able to read the air, but rather the impression of being attentive... Is it possible for a god who reigned at the top of a multiple world to have such a personality...?"

"... I see, I understand your question somehow."Indeed, it feels a little different from what I imagined. "

"That's right." It's too much of a matomo... It's supposed to be an outrageous existence, and I don't feel like I can win if I attack from here... but it doesn't feel dangerous at all.That's why, on the contrary, it makes me anxious... "

Yes, what Alice was worried about was the obvious irregularity, and despite her ability to be expected to have extremely powerful opponents... she wasn't very alert.

She was perplexed by the fact that she seemed to be no problem at all, but rather only a top-class good person among the people she knew.

That said, no matter how much she thought about it, Alice came to the conclusion that she would ask Makina for details while giving a subtle expression.
