Sword of the Philosopher

Everyone was uniformly surprised when they explained to their companions that they had dreamed at breakfast.

"That's not true......"

Anverate, do you have a plan?

"It's difficult..."

And Anverate begins to think with his hands around his mouth.

I wonder if all we can do is intercept them with all our might when we're in contact.

You might encounter it when you're heading north.

And when Sophia told me, I nodded.

"I see...... Gulk"

Umu

When the name is called, the child Gulk appears on the table.

What's the status of my people preparing for the Demon King Castle?

I checked, but there was no abnormality. Through my body, I told Devals what Lord Luon had told me, and I was on guard. "

I see. Honestly, I don't know what kind of hand you're going to use... the outpost before fighting the Hoshigami itself.

Outpost, that's a heavy thing to say.

And, as Ordia tells me, I'm in for it.

"Well... well, I don't know if the presence shown in my dream will attack us or if there is still something... but it's definitely a threat." Our best strategy is to show off the results of our training so far and defeat our enemies..... "

"Is there anything that bothers you?"

"What is the intention of the star god?" It's ridiculous not having many conversations and honestly speculating about intentions, but I think I'll think about it a little bit. ”

It was created by the accumulation of magic power. I don't think he's conscious as a person. "

And Galk gives his opinion.

'But since the purpose of destroying the world is the same as when it came to ancient times, it is true that it manifests itself with a purpose like a human being. From there, I might be able to read your intentions. "

"If our goal is to destroy the world, it's only natural to launch an attack on us." We are about to defeat the Star God. But you don't have to go out of your way to pass on information to me. The sight I saw in my dreams... if I used it to attack, the ambush would be much more effective. In fact, without any prior information, it might have been a bad thing. ”

"Do you mean contradictory?"

Sophia asks. I nodded.

"That's right. It's not impossible that the Star God is interfering with me on the basis of interest, but I'm sure you can see that the purpose of destroying the world is obviously acting strangely... So why are you doing this on purpose?"

There are two possibilities.

Anverate opens her mouth.

"One is the accumulation of magic power that exists in many ways...... even if the star gods had the will to do so, there would be multiple of them." For example, we have the intention to move to make fun of us, or to destroy us. "

"I think Anvellate's speculation is extremely plausible, beyond the inability to decide that there is only one will like a person." In fact, I have been in contact with the star gods for a number of times, and although the tone is somewhat similar, it was basically like watching me move around... there were many patterns that I enjoyed. "

When I say that, I cut my words once.

"...... In addition to the consciousness that tries to destroy the world, you may be willing to interfere with the world and have fun. And it's hard to measure whether this is beneficial or not for the star gods."

What do you mean?

Leaze was the one who asked the question. I looked back at her,

"If the purpose is only to destroy, you can use the existence with the intention of destroying the story world, for example, and call upon it... but the star gods are not doing it." Starting with Nephmeiza, Richard, who didn't know the concept of star god, is also using his power against Richard... and from that point of view, by interfering in various ways, he makes it easier to recognize his own existence... in other words, the existence of star gods. "

"Suppose you have more than one intention."

and Anverate will provide supplementary explanations.

"There is no doubt that what lies at the heart of it is the intention to bring destruction. In other words, I think it's most natural to think that the existence in the central axis dares to let go of other intentions and let it do it on its own..."

At that point, she took a sip of water.

"The good thing about this hypothesis is that the will of the star god that appeared before Luon... there is no contradiction in its course of action." From our point of view, it can be interpreted as the intention to bring destruction, the intention to appear before Luon and various things... Although these two stand out, in fact, there is a will to do various other actions, and they are not only not noticeable because they are not connected to the destruction of the world. "

In fact, there was no sign of a Star God coming from anywhere in the world, right?

"That's right. The more we have to look across the continent, the less information there is, but in fact, the stellar gods may be interfering in various places unnoticed."

"I mean..."

And now Young-goo opened his mouth.

I don't know what caused the appearance of the Star God?

"I don't know, it's beneficial to the star gods." Sowing seeds with various approaches to the ultimate goal of destroying the world... and destroying it. In ancient times, Star God destroyed everything in a way that can be observed, but there may be many other instances where Star God may have come to us... if this assumption is correct. "

"That's right. I'm just talking about the hypothesis, but... I think that's a good guess."

I turn to Unverate.

"The other thing is..."

Considering the content of the measures we've implemented this time, our possibilities are also increasing.

Sophia and the others have a steep look at the words. I wait while I know what Unvelate is talking about.

And she said,

"Another possibility... there is only one strong intention to destroy it." Then why are you interfering with Luon... If you can think of it, it's the way to reach the ultimate goal of destruction. Although the method is dumb, perhaps there is a constraint that the star god cannot be destroyed by simply descending ─ ─ "
