Sword of the Philosopher

The world is breaking down in the work of a single human being... and it was a strange story for Bredge and us to hear from the Stargods.

The Bredge who heard the contents was also stunned. But the Star God shrugged his shoulders,

"Why are you so surprised? It's a little routine for you to change the world by yourself, isn't it?

"... what?

"Because this is just a researcher, it's just getting harder to understand. For example, what if you're in power? If you were a Head of State, start a war at the discretion of one of them. Policies make gains and losses for many. Sometimes it's a massacre... and in this case, it's just a researcher."

... I'm not convinced. But as a star god, I think it's the same thing.

"It's a world where the top of the nation is at peace with each other. On the contrary... if our friendship gets worse rapidly, we start fighting back. That's what people are, isn't it? The researcher who wished for me told me by inflating hatred... well, it may be too much to influence the whole world, but it is essentially the same as the behavior of politicians."

― ― In the first place, star gods do not possess the same ethical values and values as human beings simply because they are pseudo-human. That's why I explained that the impact of each person can sometimes reach the world... Destroying everything by hatred is ridiculous to us humans, but we have decided that there is a Star God.

In fact, it's happening... but even if we could stop the researchers, it would have collapsed by the Star God anyway. The energy of the fantasy tree was destined to run out eventually. In other words, it shouldn't have been that far from the power of the star gods. From then on - there must have been an event in the era when this video was playing.

"Do you have any questions?

And the god of the stars asked Bredge. On the other hand, he is silent and the air in the room pinks in his painful expression.

"... no matter how hard you try, you can't avoid collapse"

"At least life as usual will be impossible. But if you're not affected by the war, you may be able to survive the collapse of this world."

"When the war between humans is over, will you finally move?

"As I said before, I'm going to do it. But I honestly don't know when. When the war is over, or when I'm in a state of well-being... well, it depends on how I feel."

I have a question as to whether the star gods are in the mood... but after Bredge swallowed those words,

"Is there a way to defeat you?

Suddenly, the star god began to laugh. I don't suppose you didn't expect to ask the party.

"Humans are really interesting. I didn't expect you to ask me directly."

"You were about to answer any question. If you're passive and you can fulfill anything you want, don't you think you can ask questions like this?

"Hmm, sure. Besides, there's no rule that I shouldn't talk about my weaknesses. And I said I'd answer anything."

And the Stargod once saw this - the tablet device.

"Will you record it in that medium and entrust it to future generations of humans?

"... honestly, I'm not even thinking about that later. If there was a chance I could beat you right now, I just wanted to raise you a little bit."

"I see, it's a shame that there's only a few possibilities... As it stands, I don't have enough power in this world to beat me."

Determine the star god. And then...

"A weakness... hmm, that's right. First of all, I wonder if my body can't move."

"What?"

"The existence of the star god is inextricably linked to this world... and cannot be separated from the stars. So if you get caught, you can't escape or hide. First of all, that's my weakness, not my weakness."

"So if you show up on the surface, you'll be defenseless?

"That's right about my main unit. And one more thing... I don't know if this is a weakness, but the attributes of the Star God may be pregnant with some kind of defect."

"Are you... pregnant with a defect?

"Yes, the Star God absorbs and enlarges the variety of things that exist on the surface. It has nothing to do with positive or negative. You can't refuse to absorb and grow any more power... little by little. It can use powerful force to block attacks from enemies. But always try to absorb the force you accept without refusing. Its greed gave it a powerful presence, but in some cases it became a double-edged sword."

Absorption - Of course, it seems to prevent attacks with defensive instincts, but if we can penetrate it and deliver the blade, it will always hit.

"In other words, even a hostile attack must be digested if it gets into your body. In human terms, poisonous mushrooms and poisonous fish are irrelevant. It's like a bad diet that eats everything."

― ― From Bredge's point of view, even if I heard that, there's nothing I can do after all. It's obvious that it's a story like grasping a cloud, and you'll have to be confused.

But I'm not. The characteristics of the star gods... more than any other star god himself has ever heard, there is no doubt that this information is reliable. Until now, it has only been constructed on the basis of materials, although specific measures will be determined by obtaining this information.

Even with me, one thing came to mind. I don't know what it is to defeat the Star God... but I still need countless exercises to make it happen. Should we think about it when we find time in the future...

"Really... okay."

I heard the bitter voice of Bredge. As for him, he realized that it was pointless to get any more information.

That's the end of the question.

"Really? If you like, you can always talk to me."

A star god who even utters such a thing. In contrast, Bredge kept looking at the opponent in front of him with a bitter face.
