Next Life

(again)

That was what Marius meant.

This is the third time.

Zagan, Decarabia, and Tindalos.

I can't say the timing is fixed, but I was aware enough to see it after defeating the devil's big man.

One side of the perimeter is white, with blurred facial contours in front of you, perhaps someone who can only be described as a man.

"Thanks"

Now I heard my voice clearly.

"... what about you?

When Marius moves his tongue, it becomes a voice and goes out of his mouth.

"I'm Nia Latteff. Thank you very much for destroying Tindalos, man of the other world."

"Maybe you put me in this world?

Marius, who immediately came up with such an idea, could say that he had never seen it before.

"Yes."

Niarlatteff admitted it softly.

Admitted too easily, Marius cannot find the following words:

"Can I talk to you?

"Go ahead."

Marius nods and gives his approval, urging him to continue.

"Me and Tindalos are hostile, but we can't destroy each other with our own hands. That was the relationship."

"... is that why you called me?

Even if the other person is a god, they use polite language for once.

"No"

Niirratteff denies it immediately.

"First, Tindalos created a monster to destroy me, a system in which a being called the Demon King appears. Eventually, he paved the way for a presence that would defeat God. To combat it, I have prepared a system that gives humanity the concept of level and skill and creates the brave, the heroic."

"In other words, the conflict between man and demon is God's surrogate war...?

"I don't deny it"

Marius felt convinced.

It seems to me to be the reason why people and demons keep fighting.

Tindalos and Niarlatothev tried to destroy each other, and man and demon existed as a means of doing so.

"One of the greatest masterpieces in Tindalos' system is the one who Aulanis. He would one day have gained the power to kill God."

I can't say I'm too worried.

Aulanis, who was also strong in the original world, was strong enough that his open mouth could not be blocked in this world.

"So I'm the countermeasure?

"No"

Denied again, Marius drops his shoulder.

"There are those who called before you. In your world, you seem to describe disappearances and mysteries."

"What...?

Marius was surprised.

Are you saying that some of the missing persons who were out every year were the work of this Niirratteff?

"In beings like brave men and heroes, you can't fight Aulanis very well. The only thing that could have happened was that Melinda Guilford died in her lifespan."

"Shouldn't we have given you protection and made you immortal?

Marius thought so, but Niarlatteff's reaction was thin.

"We couldn't have set such a precedent. At the time, my strength had not recovered. It was no match to change Melinda's existence."

After Melinda's death, which ended the "Dark Ages," it was peaceful for a while, but eventually the Demon King began to ramble around again.

Marius also knows, it is a time of antagonism of man demons.

"After many attempts, I have found that it is better to bring only dead human souls than living ones"

When he heard that, Marius wondered how many people had come to this world.

Maybe some of the heroes of the past are Japanese.

"Because in a living human being, you can't be empowered the way you think you are"

"... how long have you tried?

Marius was unconsciously asking that.

It could be wrong to blame Nialeratteff.

But it was in a psyche that I couldn't help but be there.

"I don't remember. But we had to fight Tindalos and Aulanis."

If you're a person in the original world, you're close to the casual logic of a kidnapper.

Regardless of who is invited after death, my chest aches when I think of those who have been summoned alive.

With Marius, if he had no power whatsoever, I'm not sure he wasn't crazy.

"Who was called alive, could you go home?

It was only natural that the question had arisen.

At least for Marius himself.

"No"

I therefore felt that Nialeratteff's response was unsatisfactory.

However, it is also true that I am now because of it.

Marius was too calm to put it up on the shelf and pack the god in front of him.

Or maybe people were good.

"Next question."

When Marius cuts out like that, Nialeratteff keeps silence.

I thought they were urging me to go on, so I went on with the words.

"Why did you empower all sorts of people? Shouldn't we have concentrated on one human being and empowered him?

This is the biggest question for Marius.

If we tried to empower all kinds of human beings to be heroes and to be capable of fighting Tindalos and Aulanis, we should have let that power amass in one person.

That would have resulted in fewer missing persons in the original world, and it would have been faster for the Evil God to be defeated.

"It's not that simple. First, I had to find someone with a vessel that could withstand my power."

That's what Niarlatteff says.

He said he spent a considerable amount of time identifying the owner of a vessel that could withstand the force.

"And even when I became a hero, there was a big difference after that"

It doesn't mean I could have defeated the Demon King as soon as I became a hero.

Some did not come to defeat the Demon King, and others drowned in power and failed in their efforts in the first place to lead a sloppy life.

"Rather, the latter was more numerous"

Sarcasm mingles with Nialeratteff's words, and Marius feels sorry for herself, even though it's not her fault.

It was as if anger was being cast on the fools who gave them strength because they possessed qualities that could defeat the Evil God and the Great Demon King, but failed to take advantage of it.

"No, I'm sorry about something. Maybe I'm not apologizing."

"Right. I can't help but apologize to you. Besides, you did a great job. You have to reward me."

Marius' appetite is stimulated when heard as a reward.

My wives think I'm insensitive, but it's only a matter of clumsiness.

If God's reward, which would have no clue, is genuine in wanting.

"Give me flesh, let me give you the honor of staying self forever and seeing what I do"

"... Huh?

Marius couldn't immediately understand what he had been told to be dumb.

After a few seconds, I finally realize that I can't move my tongue trying to protest.

"Hehe, you can't move, can you? Because I've sealed all your powers!

That's what Niarlatteff shouts when he changes his attitude to leopard.

Soon, God's face was clearly floating, and Marius, who saw it, took a surprising, less breathtaking breath.

Her hair and eyes were black, and at least Marius had seen them scattered before, looking exactly the same at her face.

"I was surprised the first time I saw you. I had no idea that the owner of this face that resembled me existed, even though it was a different world. Maybe it makes sense to stand my strength and be strong beyond my imagination."

Marius makes his eyes black and white at the suddenly begun statement.

"And now I'm convinced. Ultimately, supremely, invincibly, absolutely the only God, this body for Lord Nialeratteff to descend into the earth, deserves yours. Go ahead, whimper something."

"Are you gonna do that from the start?

As Marius gasped and glanced, Niirratteff, who revealed his evil nature, responded with a laugh.

"Naturally. And I'll tell you another thing. Your powers, to some extent, are as status suggests, but in terms of intelligence, it should have remained the original world. Because I sealed it. If it was intelligent as status suggests, it wouldn't have worked out the way I wanted. On the contrary, he could have spotted my sincerity and disturbed me."

Some of the doubts Marius had ice dissolve.

I thought it was strange to say that physical abilities were poorer than the original world, but that intelligence remained intact.

"If I ever tell you, most of what I told you is a lie."

Beat Marius' heart with further shock.

"It's not a lie that I called you guys and made heroes appear to defeat Tindalos. But the reason I called an unspecified number of people is different"

Once the words are separated, I peek into Marius' face.

From that look the divinity had disappeared, filled with disastrous things.

"That's because it's fun. Because I couldn't wait to be brought to different worlds suddenly and see the crying humans. A good old adult cries screaming the names of his parents, brothers and friends because it was more than funny."

Unpleasant words and nauseating laughter strike Marius in the heart.

It seemed as if the resentment of the victims of Niarlatteff was together amplifying the decadence.

"In a funny way, it was a coincidence that I realized the reincarnation group was better up there."

And they're coming after me.

"It was hilarious when I was a scumbag with zero existential value in my life, and I had someone to say I was chosen by God or something. As much as I thought I'd die. That's why I tried to call only dead people. Expect to see what kind of dumb words and actions you're going to entertain me with this time."

"If I make a hero, I'm supposed to use my powers...?

It was a blast returning to Marius' question.

"You're right, aren't you? But I'm a god. I can always take away the power I've given you."

I feel as if I've been hit in the head with a blunt weapon called despair.

It seemed possible, but I didn't even imagine it.

Maybe I haven't got my head on what's going on yet.

Niarlatteff read such Marius' mood and smiled ridiculously.

"What are you so shocked about? Even if you want cheats, isn't that what I gave you? I didn't take it from you because I was going down on the ground myself. I won't kill your spirit to enjoy your reaction."

He brings his face closer again and whispers in his ear.

"When I take over your body, I'll love your women plenty. And after all the rapprochement, I'll tell you I'm not Marius. Says he's the enemy who took over Marius' body and sealed his spirit. I wonder how the women would react? Are you going to be shocked and hurt yourself? Or will they try to fight to get you back? I'll sneak up on you as I hear you cry."

"Let, let, ru,"

Marius tried to beat Niarlatteff, but his body couldn't move.

This god is the worst.

I just think that Tindalos, simply trying to kill the ground, is still better than Nialeratteff.

"It's no use. Now you're just like when you were in the original world. Except for mental strength. But with your mental strength, you can't escape my restraints."

The true evil god mocks Marius' resistance.

Still, Marius doesn't give up.

God throws a further word at such a man.

"Hey, Marius, no, it's Yamada Luuji. If I thought I was reincarnated into another world and had mighty power, I actually knew it was just over my palm, but how does it feel? You were only doing this to please me, but how do you feel? From now on, you will be taken away by me, my wife, my future, everything, but how do you feel?

Niirratteff laughed with malice, ridicule and disdain.

"Hey, how do you feel right now?

... Marius couldn't even blink.
