The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 409: Final Interview with Vandalu With No Place to Escape
Issues of high priority for Vandalu, such as post-war processing issues and dialogue with the "evil god of the sin chain" Jarodipus, were cleared up.
There are various other issues, such as the trend of Nine Road and its followers, the gods of the surviving Arda forces, and the evil gods of the remnants of the demon king's army.
However, Vandalu faced a great challenge in a different world as he kept looking at such issues.
Wow, what a thing to say.Can't you do anything about it from now on?
"Impossible, Lord."
"State power, intelligence operations, propaganda."
I can't, Lord.
United States President Sergei replied, resting his hand on the shoulder of a vandal.
"Unfortunately... my country is a democracy."We cannot deny the people's desire for the symbol of Vandalism.
Besides, I am also involved in the presidency. "
The challenge faced by Vandalu.It was that the people of the "Origin" world wanted a facility that would become a symbol of Vandalism.
Origin prayers from the people of the world to Vandalu, who was a major factor in the battle against Heinz, who brought down Alda and Bellwood.
In response to that prayer, Vandalu sent a thank-you message after the battle to the people in his dream through himself, who had become the god of the "Origin" world, saying, "Thanks to you, I was able to win."
As a result, the "Origin" world's faith in Vandalu exploded, accelerating beyond borders and races.
And people wanted symbols for their faith in Vandalu... things that were central to their faith, such as the so-called sacred sites and idols.
And in the United States, where Sergei is president, the decision was made to build a theme park with a Vandalism theme.
'Sergei, why are you involved with the President?The religious corporation that leads the construction of the theme park is a religious corporation that believes in me, right?Where did the secularism go? "
[Origin] The Vandalism religious corporation that was founded sometime in the world.It is a group formed by people blessed by Vandalu being connected via the Internet.
Naturally, it is forbidden by law for the President of the United States in the "Origin" world not to pass Congress and to make convenience at will.
"I thought it would be better if you stayed in one place rather than being scattered in different states.Besides, it is for the sake of society that those who are only interested in gaining profits without faith use the name of the Lord.
Besides, I don't have to go through Congress because it's my personal donation. ”
Therefore, Sergei was involved to the extent permitted by law.
Besides, the Vandalism religious corporation is run by the people who Vandalism blessed.For that reason, Sergei, who knows Vandalu, deserves more than others.
Ugh, you can't beat the public opinion after all.
Vandalu lapses to the floor without finding a word to persuade Sergei.Sergei tried to support himself reflexively, but the weak Vandal's body slipped through his fingers like a slime.
“Lord, there are other countries and organizations around the world that are working to build facilities for believing in the Lord outside of our own country.Some of them are not democracies.Shouldn't we be on our way? "
“I know there are countries like that.But I don't know the politicians of those countries directly. ”
Sergei's dazzling sense of superiority and intoxication came from Vandalu's answers, which he said while lying down.
The Lord descended into the land as a result of his choice, and he was not able to relax in his presence, and to live up to his wishes, but he depended on it.Oh, glory to the United States.
And in fact, Vandalu is telling Sergei that he trusts him to choose his position as president over his own.
Banders!
Beside such a vandal, the underworld is lying on the floor.By the way, the bander in her possession is still lying down.
Ming, you can't lie on the floor, right
It is not Amamiya Narumi's mother who scolds such an underworld, but his brother Hiroshi.They were now staying in a suburban house prepared by Sergei of the United States of 'Origin'.
It's not the ground, is it? It's the floor, isn't it? "
"You can't even sleep on the floor." Because in this country, it's normal not to wear shoes in the house. "
“We're in awe, and we need to make sure we don't wear shoes in the house.You want to sign the presidential decree today.Ask for a manuscript of the paperwork and speech.Call the press. "
Sergei tries to make an immediate move.For some reason, he was more loyal to the underworld (shrine maiden) than to the Vandalu (god).
Perhaps you see Ming as the same Puluto who helped your son.
"Wow, ahhh!? I'm sorry, wait!"
"President! It's too soon! You only have three days to sign it!”
“You don't have to sign it! It doesn't matter if it's a bander or a vandal!"
And the secretary Sergei brought was also a fanatic.The panicked Hiro noticed that there were no common sense people around, and he wanted to hold his head.
Sergei, calm down. If you sign a presidential decree banning shoes indoors, Congress will definitely disrupt it. ”
"Don't worry, Lord." The majority of the members of the Council have faith in the Lord, and the other half have only mouths to say. ”
Oh dear, that's right.
Moreover, it was not the only place where there were enthusiastic followers of the underworld.The same was true of the majority of the members of Congress who made up the United States Government.They exist irrespective of the opposition and the opposition, and they unite by shelving their daily interests in matters concerning the underworld.After uniting, when the issue is cleared up, you can return the interest placed on the shelf to hand.
The other half of the congressmen said they were grateful to Vandalu and Puluto in their speeches during the election campaign, praying, etc., and actually donated.Obviously, it's a fashion belief for elections, but in a way, they're more rational and reliable politicians.
It should be noted that only a few percent of the voters who elected them were Vandalists.Unsurprisingly, there are many voters who do not.
However, it was revealed that the former president, former vice president, and senior government officials were traitors who sold the people to the Rokudo Saint.As a result, the existing parties had almost lost support from their voters.
On the contrary, voters supported candidates who believed in Vandalu, who had come to protect the world, including the United States, and claimed to have communicated with God in their dreams.
However, Vandalu prays that it will be because it was an election held in the midst of global political mistrust, and that voters will choose the polling destination in the next election with emphasis on promises, policies, and achievements to date.
"Let's also stop the president."Congress will pass, but there will be people who will absolutely disagree. "
And as Hiroshi says, anti-Sergei... anti-Vandalism was born all over the world as soon as possible.For now, we are not developing into violence just by having discussions in each country and in each place.But if Sergei wields his power by saying that it is for the sake of the underworld, that won't be the case.
"Mr. President, I'm sorry."
"No, Ming, you're nothing wrong."I can't let you get into trouble for telling a joke.Isn't that right, you? "
“Yes, Mr. President, I'm sorry I got into the President's joke earlier.”
And because I have no intention of forcibly changing the culture of the United States, things quickly calmed down.
"Banders and Vandalu, hold on tight."My mom and dad don't have a strong opinion of you either. "
I'll be careful after that.
However, Vandalu's problem has not been calmed or solved.Rather, for a while to come... perhaps it won't calm down for a decade.
It is impossible to stop the Vandalism-related facilities from being built one after another not only in the United States, but also in other countries.All Vandalus can do is wait for time to pass.
(Maybe all I have left is Earth.)
Earth. A world where Vandalu lived his first life.Now that I have acquired various recipes and knowledge, it was a completely heartless world, but the people of "Earth" have not yet recognized Vandaloo.In this sense, "Earth" is becoming an important place for Vandalu.
But if Vandalu goes to Earth, it's the last time.
If a vandal who unconsciously leads a person of the same wavelength lands on "Earth", even if he does nothing there, he may lead a human of "Earth" even if he remains stationary without moving a finger.
And it will probably be the same situation as this [Origin].
"The Gods of the Earth", "Don't come!'and would unanimously appeal to unity.
"I just wanted to be an honorary aristocrat with a social reputation, so why did I become a god in time?"
Hmm, I'm not sure, but you're becoming very famous.
"Yeah, yeah, we all know about the banders."
When the distant-eyed vandal listened to Hiromi and Yuuki's words, it seemed almost like it was Rodocorte's fault, but since Rodocorte no longer existed, I thought of stopping the barren thing.
Ten days after Vandalu's vengeance ended, the Duke of Fazon officially surrendered on the Albaum side.
Before that, two female S-class adventurers and an A-class adventurer group disappeared, as did a Dampier girl.
"It looks like you're going to leave the continent by boat.I didn't ask where I was going, but no one was going to follow me, and I'm not going to follow me, so I'm going to stay that way. "
It was Randolph who reported as if he had seen it, but he actually convinced Diana and Jennifer, the survivors of the Five-Color Blade, and Serene of Dampier, to leave the continent and guide them.
“That's good. I didn't want to see them again, so it was helpful.”
It was Vandalu who asked Randolph to contact them for a purpose.But it was Randolph's discretion that prompted him to leave the continent.
However, Vandalu asked Randolph to do so in the hope that he would.
The reason for this is that if Selen remains in the Duke of Fazon's Arda shrine, he may be executed or killed for resentment in the name of holding the Duke of Fazon responsible for the war.That's not an interesting development for Vandalu.
Vandalu just doesn't want to see the Selenians again, and he doesn't want them to die.On the contrary, now that they have become gods, I even want them to continue to live in the future.Tens of thousands of years... or trillions of years, I want you to stay in this world.
Because... if you die, your soul may come to you.
Incidentally, the person responsible for waging the war...... is only [Dharma Life God] Arda himself from Vandaloo's point of view.Alda sent a gift to incite herself and her followers, and to start a war.
However, with that said, the current Duke of Fazon will only die of illness after retirement from public execution.
"Anyway, did you give me what you asked for?"
"Yeah, I did give them their last hairs."
And Vandalu asked Randolph to deliver Selen with Heinz and Delaizer's last hair.By doing so, I expected that Selenium and others would have less grudge against themselves.
Fortunately, they didn't know that they had taken over Heinz's flesh by eating Delayzer's brain from within.
In that case, this person will be charged a request fee.
"I did receive it. However, I won't accept any more requests for a while.I'm going to retire the adventurer and become a drummer. "
That's going to make you see your face all the time.
After this, Randolph had somehow taken voice training and dance lessons from Canako and had to walk the path to a reluctant male idol.
Meanwhile, on the Amid Holy Nation side, the Holy Nation has not officially surrendered yet. However, since Mashkazar and his family were handed over to each of the three countries other than the Milgu Shield, the independence movement will intensify.
In one of Vandalu's internal worlds, isolated from the outside world, the [Curse Venom Evil God] Dopopeze Palo was puzzled.
What are you going to do? Why do you miss me?Moreover, even the fragments of Guduranis' soul that were nesting in my soul were removed. "
“I didn't mean to miss it.This is a secluded place from the outside world.If you don't use spatial attribute magic, you can't go outside. "
Having been told by Vandalu, Dopopeze Palo looked around again.Rather than a wilderness without a single tree growing on one side, the desert-like terrain where the rock rolls is spread out, and the sky is filled with gray clouds.The wind barely blows, making it a worthless place.
The only characteristic is that the area around it is a pseudo-sacred area, so it can stay on the ground without consuming any power.
……
So, for now, Dopopezepalou secretes the virulent poison.A vibrant green and purple colorful venom pours down the ground, and a poisonous purple mist rises up in the sky.
When Vandalu was half-eyed, he stepped back in silence and took a distance from Dopopeze Palo.
{Phew... now it's a little better.So, what are you going to do to me after all?The previous answer was only about what kind of place this is, and it was not the answer that solved the seal without destroying me. "
Dopopeze Palo didn't mean to attack Vandalus.I just didn't like a harmless, tasteless, dry place that didn't poison or poison me.
It is close to the feeling of decorating plants and interiors in a room with stunning scenery.... you can see how dangerous Dopopeze Palo can be because of the instant death poisoning of ordinary people who suck and bathe in such a sensation without any defense.
“Are you willing to listen to the requirements?I don't think it would be strange to think of that as an attack on me.
Even though Vandalu protested, Dopopeze Palo didn't seem to mind at all.
For you who have eaten the soul and flesh fragments of Guduranis, this level of poison should be equivalent to just water and steam.Or would it be more appropriate to be foolish enough to deal with the fragile mushikera? ”
Moreover, it was a tribute to Dopopezepalou that he secreted the virulent poison in front of Vandalu.Vandalu was surprised by this and looked back unexpectedly.
At first glance, there seemed to be no one here but him and Dopopeze Palo... "
"Great Vandalu, I foolishly wonder if I can break it off sooner rather than later."
There was no sound behind him, and the evil god Gfadgarn appeared behind him.
”I think I'd better curtail myself... but I don't think it's too early to consider the purpose of the visit.”
I agree, I haven't even started talking yet.You can talk about the requirements. "
In addition, she was followed by the [Five Evil Dragon Gods] Fidirg and the [Demon God of Time and Magic] Reclent.
Dopopeze Palo hardly remembered Fidilg, but he remembered Liklent, the god.I couldn't understand why such a giant appeared in front of the evil gods who served Devil King Guduranis even after being unlocked from the seal.
"Dopopeze Palo, we're going to do an interview.From now on, I will determine whether you can or cannot be a god of this world. "
The reason Vandalu prepared this place was to interview the remnants of the Demon King's army, including Dopopeze Palo.
There are several gods that Vandalu thinks it would be better to destroy with the gods of the Arda faction, such as the "Ice God" Yupeon and the "Exonerating God" Nyrtark.And there are many Vida gods who have just awakened from the seal and have not regained their power.And it takes time for a person to become a new God.
Therefore, the great gods Vandalu and Liklent came to the idea that even the evil gods of the former Demon King's Army should be accepted if they were willing to act as new and moderate gods in this world, similar to Zakkart.
However, I thought it would be impossible for 90% to do so.
All pillars were disqualified. If you pass one pillar, you'll be lucky.That's the level of awareness.
You can eat your soul and destroy it at any time, so let's give it a try before you destroy it.
Such nuances were also transmitted to Dopopeze Palau.Because there was no such thing as a desire for Vandalu and the others to be under their command, or the enthusiasm that required their abilities.
This visit is a kind of confirmation before the execution of the death penalty as a precaution.If we miss the thread of the spider that hangs in front of us, we'll be devoured and destroyed like Guduranis.
Are you going to do it as a god? In this world.Laughing... no... ”
After understanding that, it was Dopopeze Palo who said stop laughing and laughed, but I remembered that there was a person who suddenly swallowed all the industrial poison that he really gave out and said "delicious".
More than 100,000 years ago, Dopopeze Palo, who appeared in the world of "Lambda" led by Demon King Guduranis, thought that all that lived in this world were fragile creatures that could not withstand the weakest poison they secreted and were not worth living.
The recognition remained unchanged even though it was sealed by the brave Bellwoods.
It's not acceptable to be such an ugly little wit that you can't be poisoned by poison.Relying on tools to prevent poisoning is only proof that life as a species cannot withstand poisoning.
However, that alien dragon swallowed all the strongest poison that Dopopeze Palo had secreted without using tools or even sorcery.
Even the race that worshipped Dopopeze Palo in the demon kingdom would not have been able to swallow such a powerful and massive amount of poison.
(Could it be that my judgment that there is no survival value for living creatures in this world was wrong?)
With such a foolishness, the poison flows instead of the cold sweat of agitation...
For now, we've stopped reacting in silence, so let's talk about it ourselves.
Meanwhile, Vandalu and the others were unresponsive to what Dopopeze Palo had done... Vandalu split up in front of them, and even though he danced strangely with Fidirg, he stopped moving, so they decided to discuss it on their own.
“Now, if you have an opinion about Dopopeze Palo, let's start with Gfadogharn.”
"If you will, great vandal."
More than 100,000 years after defecting from the Demon King's army, the [Lambda] god of the world has placed more emphasis on the evil god behind Vandalism than on the evil god behind Vandalism, but you should be able to hear valuable opinions.
"The poison secreted by Dopopeze Palo can be a threat to humans, creatures and monsters in this world, as well as sub-deities.[Poison Resistance] and [Condition Abnormality Resistance], but also [Poison Disable] and [Condition Abnormality Disable] abilities have some negative effect on their holders. "
Huh, that much?
If Dopopeze Palo had really poisoned [Ineffective] skill, he wouldn't have become a major cadre of the Demon King army.
Before we summoned the heroes, our main forces were gods like us, who had no flesh except for the sub-humans, the spiritual minions, the angels, and the spirits.
"Since he could poison an inherently poisonous existence, he was entrusted to a Guduranis cadre."Marduk, Zeno, and Gampaprio were able to withstand the poison he released with all his might. "
To Vandalu's surprise, Lycrent, with three figures representing the present, past, and future, explains with each mouth.
To be sure, I don't think that Guduranis will make a superior of an evil god who doesn't have effective means of attacking the gods.
Dopopeze Palou secretes it with magic power directly. Before the serious industrial poison, [Resistance] skill is only enough to rest. [Ineffective] If you take in a large amount of poison for a long time, even if the skill is ineffective, there is a risk of death that cannot be prevented.
How did the heroes of the time seal such a Dopopeze Palo...... Zaccato and the production heroes wore protective clothing under their armor, and the Bellwood combat heroes who wore oxygen cylinders to cut off everything outside attacked and defeated the protective clothing before it melted.
The poison of Dopopeze Palo is only poison.Unlike the spell, it could be prevented by preventing physical contact and suction.
"By the way, Bakunawa didn't have to keep swallowing all the poison."Besides, I'm probably fine, too. "
You are special or exceptional
It seems that.
I thought you claimed it was dangerous because you could create dangerous poisons other than Vandalu and Bakunawa, but it wasn't.
"However, the poison he secretes is not a problem."What I see as a problem is that he can't feel his intention to become the god of this world.
Great Vandalu, if you will, you will do anything.On the contrary, if you don't have the will, you can't do anything. ”
The reason why Gfadgharn judged Dopopeze Palo to be unpredictable was that he had no intention of coexisting in this world.
Mentalism alone does not change reality.However, if there is no will, the reality cannot change in the first place. Especially, God.
As long as you are willing to adapt to this world, even evil gods from other worlds will surprisingly manage.It is proven by Gufadogharn himself, Fidirg, and the [Evil God of the Sin Chain] Jarodipus, who is not here.
You just have to change your nature, get close to new believers, and find a new way.In the meantime, you may experience unbearable pain as you change, but it is only natural to adapt to a different world that is completely different from the one you were born in.
Therefore, it can't be helped if Dopopeze Palo himself has no will.It's possible to threaten and force, but then the will won't last.You will see the gap and try to escape.
It certainly makes sense.
However, there is no point in making this visit sooner rather than later.
Even if it's no good, we should take more time to decide whether we can become new brothers or not.
Liklent then expressed his opinion on Gfadgharn's claim.
Gfadgharn was right, but he interviewed the top executives of the Demon King's army and their subordinates, who remained asleep while Arda unsealed them.Their time had stopped about a hundred thousand years before Demon King Guduranis was alive.Before that, Alda had embedded the fragments of Guduranis's soul.
I've just woken up from such a state by unsealing it again, and I can't think of adapting to this world.He insists on spending more time, even if it's no good.
So, Dopopeze Palo, I think maybe this guy's judgment of ugliness and goodness and evil is only based on whether or not he can withstand the poison.
In our world, there were some gods whose judgment criteria such as ugliness, good and evil, superiority and inferiority, and pleasure and discomfort were all stuck together.
However, most of these gods did not listen to Zakkato's story, and after surviving the war, they did not intend to turn to the Vida sect, so the Vida sect did not exclude one pillar.
The fact that the standards of different values are stuck together is a demon.
Being able to withstand the poison is beautiful, being able to withstand the poison is good, being able to withstand the poison is superior and comfortable.
On the contrary, those who can't stand poison are ugly, evil, inferior, and unpleasant.
Even Vandalu does not judge ugliness, goodness and evil, superiority and inferiority, pleasure and discomfort by his muscles alone.For him, Dopopeze Palo's value criterion was only the demonic side.
"By the way, one of those pillars...?"
Of course she does.
It should be noted that the same type of god as Dopopeze Palo in the Vida sect is the [Labyrinth of Evil Gods] Gfadgarn that Fidirg pointed to with his eyes.
Her standard is Vandalism, not whether she can withstand the poison.Maybe she's tough on Dopopezepalo because she's aware of the dangers of being like herself, with only one standard.
“Well, let's take a little more time to talk.”
However, considering that Vandalu is the same as Gfadogan... I can't empathize with him to some extent, but I feel that I can be convinced by imagining "Are you thinking this way?"
Therefore, I think I will continue the dialogue with Dopopeze Palo for a little longer.
... what about that dragon?
But before that, Dopopeze Palo spoke to me.
You mean Bakunawa?
It seems that Dopopeze Palo was right to name the “dragon” after guessing that no one but Bakunawa would have drunk his poison until he was sealed.
Is it Bakunawa? Even Demon King Guduranis could not withstand the poison that poisoned my secreted god, but he never touched it from himself. That dragon swallowed up all the delicious poison. "
Dopopeze Palo with distant eyes while saying so.At the same time, Liklent and Fidirg's eyes, who had once again learned about Bakunawa's out-of-standardness, gazed into the distance.
Yeah, what's wrong with that Bakunawa?
After that, did you lose consciousness, your organs rot, or spit blood?
No, I'm full of energy.
I am still having a picnic with my sister-in-law, Elizabeth, and her party members."It's delicious." I'm recommending a snack, and I'm totally rejecting it.
In addition, the snack that Bakunawa recommended to Elizabeth and the others was the demon king for snacks... in other words, it was a copy of Vandaloo.
{I see...? What kind of person is that Bakunawa?It should not have existed when I came to this world. "
"Me and Tiamato's son."
Dopopeze Palo was silent for a moment when he heard the answer, but suddenly he landed on the ground.And I told him in a strange way.
"You... no, let's submit to you."Whether you devour your soul and destroy it, or add it to your vagina, you are free.I... misjudged the inhabitants of this world. ”
It was a sudden palm return, but Vandalu, who had suspected that this would happen since he was asked about Bakunawa, asked without surprise.
"Just in case, why did you think that?"
Of course, your son, Bakunawa.Drink up my poison, say it's delicious, and feed it.Such a dragon is a supreme being that transcends everything. ”
For Dopopezepalou, whose value was all about being able to withstand his own poison, Bakunawa was the supreme being.
For Dopopeze Palau today, Bakunawa is the most beautiful, righteous, great, worthy and supreme being of all beings, including the former lord Guduranis.
The existence of this world that nurtured Bakunawa is not worth living.
In other words, the decision that I made a hundred thousand years ago was a mistake.
"Well then, as a new god of this world, what should I do?"
No matter what I think, it's a big problem to have people around normally.
About a hundred thousand years have passed since the days of Dopopeze Palau's rampage, and it is probably only the gods that have a grudge against him directly.
However, due to the specificity of the doctrine, it is difficult to think that it can be done in human society.The same is true of Vida's new race of society.Some races are abnormally strong, including poison, but they don't like poison.
As a result of my troubles... I decided to create an artifact as a substitute and have them stay with Bakunawa.
In addition, all the evil gods that Alda had unsealed by embedding the fragments of Guduranis's soul were disqualified as a result of the interview.
