Maou no Hajimekata

Episode 16: Let's Pick a Foolish Decision-3

"Fool, dude... God...!?

Though caught in a vortex of intense confusion, Oul understands why he is unwell.

This is magic deficiency.

If man uses too much magic, his body stops moving and he faints.

The intense sense of lethargy felt throughout the body was precisely the symptom.

"You say you are a god... you say you are a god living in heaven who once fought and broke the Demon King!?

"I don't mind you understanding that."

A tremendous amount of reason overflowing from Sophia is wiping out the magic in Oul's body.

The gods of this continent... the powers used by such people as Sakya, Tatsuki and Misha are called spiritual powers, mixed with magic and reason.

Then is it really God Himself who is in front of you?

"Where did you do Sophia? Where did you come from?"

"You must know."

Light answers Oulu's question.

"Now that I'm one side, what you call Sophia..."

Don't. Oul tried to scream like that, but the scream made no sense and didn't even make a sound come true.

"Disappeared"

Oul's body fell to the ground.

Stupid. I don't think so, while I had myself convinced that the word was true.

"I will destroy all demons"

The light declares so, putting his hands on the oul.

"Oul the Demon King. For resurrecting me, let us at least destroy you, lest you suffer. '

In his hand, a pure white flame was born.

It is not a mass of destruction with violence that destroys everything, like that unleashed by Uselmart.

It's a flame with a pleasant heat that makes everything melt and purify.

"I won't let you!

The voice of Eunice echoed when Oul gave himself to the fire.

Dressed in pure white clothing and armor, she tries to hold Zana, Tatsuki in Sakya to transfer the space and stand to shelter Oulu.

"Eh!

Hot spring water swirls and swallows the light as Tatsuki waves his arm.

"Freeze!

Immediately, Zana froze it.

"Go quickly, for a long time"

I won't keep it. I won't even wait for that word, and the huge chunk of ice dissolves in an instant.

"I won't let you get in the way."

It doesn't include anger or frustration, just a voice proclaiming facts. Along with that, countless flame spheres were born around the light.

"Please step back"

Sakya waves the fan, creating almost the same number of flames as the light. It swallowed the flame sphere created by the light and offset it to the end.

"- Hmm."

Slightly delightful, the light raises its voice.

"It's disrespectful."

Sakya opened her fan and let her voice roar. Long, thin red hair twinkles deliberately, and red eyes sparkle like burning.

"The concubine is the Lord of Yamado (Yamato), the tree flower of the infinite mountain! What a heartbreak to step into the concubine's mansion without permission!

A red, shining magma bursts through the wall and pours down towards the light. It became a red and black rock and enveloped the light, mixed with water and emitting fierce steam.

"Sir."

Sakya looks back at Oulu and, kneeling with a calm expression, smiles gently at him, unable to fall in and move.

"I met my husband for a little while... and Sakuya was a treat"

"Wait...!

With all his strength, Sakya mouths the oul with his hand that tries to lift and grasp his heavy arms like lead.

"Come on, god of plugs. I asked for it."

"Oh. I'll take care of it"

Misha shows up from an empty hole in the wall without sound and pulls the bodies of the Ouls.

A rock with a cold, hardened magma pushed open the door. There's so much light floating there that it doubles earlier...

"Sakya!"

Sakya wrapped herself in the light, grinning like a flower.

"... here, is..."

The next time Oul woke up, it was in a dark stone labyrinth.

The brick walls piled one by one by the Kobolts are completely different from the stone walls created instantly by Sofia in its power. Oul soon realized that was his dungeon there.

"Are you okay?"

Pure white, as an English spirit, Eunice looks worried and peeks into Oul's face.

Perhaps it was only for a moment that I was unconscious.

Behind it were Zana, Tatsuki and Misha.

I guess the stun was a recoil with a sudden magic force entering the empty body.

Returning to his own dungeon, Oul's body is filled with magic flowing through the dungeon core.

"Tell me the situation. … how many people could have escaped"

"My body, which was in the dungeon of Sophia, and Logan vanished. I just disappeared in my senses, so I just have to subpoena you back. And then Spina fainted, but I think she'll wake up soon after a little rest. Most of them are safely evacuated to this dungeon. It was Sakuya and Sophia who couldn't escape."

Lil answered Oulu's question like that.

Sakya is the god of the volcano. Unlike Tatsuki, who directs the sea, and Misha, who directs the space, he cannot move anywhere else. I really couldn't get away.

"I'm sorry, my Lord. What I did was unconscious."

Misha has a dark face and bows her head to Oulu.

"The figure, the spirit, everything was different. That's why I never noticed that girl you call Sophia."

"Identity…"

That's what they said, and Oulu finally realized.

"That girl..."

"God of the sun hidden in the earth. Am I?

When Oul asked, Misha opened her eyes to surprise.

"Did you know?

"No."

You should have noticed. Didn't Oul himself say that the sun would not be gone in an attempt to hide beneath the earth?

But I didn't notice. Why.

For Oul, because Sophia was no longer but an important daughter.

What is its identity?

Why the hell was he looking like a baby in the woods?

Why grow while God.

Until Sophia was about ten years old, it seemed to me that she was questioning that.

But I was happy with her growth, worried about how I could make her happy, and while I was bewildered by her starting to see Oul as a woman, I didn't care about that.

Even without a blood connection, Sophia was the daughter of Oul.

"But I didn't expect that to happen."

A pure white kukukuru, god of the rising sun, dwelt in Hosseri.

Yeldave was serving, the god of the sun sitting in Jomtien, the golden Igalk.

And Uselmart manipulates, the god of the setting sun, Red Atom.

If we're going to divide the sun into a few, that seems like everything. But it wasn't.

Even if you can't see, the sun doesn't go away.

"The wolf, the god of the hidden sun in the earth. Thought it disappeared thousands of years ago."

"Well... you know what?"

To Misha's whining, Oul is good at it.

To the land, Oul gave form. A dungeon.

I mean, it's flesh.

And to the baby found from there, Marie gave her name. The name Sophia.

I mean, it's a soul.

Given flesh and soul, Sophia grew.

That's growth, not growth.

She was just gradually returning to what she was.

And it gave it the form of a dungeon, so Sophia got another power. Ability to take in others and be your own. Dungeons can enclose everything and everything can be a dungeon. That's why it's power.

That light is the result of gathering all the power of the Sun God in one.

God. Sitting in heaven, he is the Almighty who once fought and destroyed the Demon King.

Oulu thought it odd that there was a Sofia continent with a large number of beings called God.

The word God does not just refer to the only thing, but to a continent that dwells from natural objects, such as the sea and mountains, to concepts like sexuality, to the moon and the sun, that is odd.

But it wasn't.

The exception was the one on this continent where the Ouls were born and raised.

Perhaps once thousands or tens of thousands of gods inhabited the land as well.

But it was all destroyed, or absorbed, and the only thing that made it unique.

The strongest and greatest of them all, the God of the Sun itself...... was not even recognized that it was the incarnation of the Sun, it was just called God of heaven, the incarnation of light.

Isn't that what this is about?

"What are we going to do? Oul."

Lil asks worryingly.

At the end of the day, Tena's predictions didn't come off all this time.

Had to send down the cuckoo that dwelt in Hosseri. Yet he could not escape his fate, and Oul had to die in flames or flee back to the dungeon.

And I guess it would be safer if you were in this land than you said if you fled back to the dungeon, you could avoid disaster. Neither is the power of the Sun's God, nor the Sun itself. Until the other continents, its power does not extend.

"Let it be decided"

For challenging the God of Light, there is no way you can win.

It is the opponent that the Demon King once opposed with all his might and perished with.

More than a decade ago, Oulu and even Merizand, with just one end of its power, had only a painful victory by wielding all his might.

You can say the winning eye is zero. So challenging, etc., is stupid.

"We're going to get it back. My daughter."

Oulu clearly declared that foolish choice.
