The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

With Vandalu processing Arda's soul and Arda's forces disintegrating, the Vidarite gods have finally managed to return to their sanctuary.

... it's so tough that I'm going to die.

"It's tougher than when I was negotiating with the gods of other worlds who had entrusted Rodocorte with their reincarnation."

The amount of work that has been jammed up for over a hundred thousand years......

That's also the fault of the man who lost to Guduranis......

If that's the case, you'll get what you deserve, but... is it okay?

[Goddess of Life and Love] As soon as Vida came to visit her own sanctuary, she was confused and called out to Zulwarn, who was falling and complaining.

Well, I know you deserve it.

But it's tough. It's nice to be able to participate in the maintenance of the world just like before, but it's tough.

The subordinate gods I left behind.The work you left me was done thoroughly, but...... "

'Well, here's the problem. How many times have I told you I'm tough?I don't even know the answer. "

Not only zulwang, but also the work that the great gods who were away from the gods were supposed to do... [Lambda] The maintenance of the world has been carried out by gods who did not participate in the battle between Vida and Alda, or new subordinate gods who joined God during the reign of the Alda forces.

That's how the attributes of water, earth, space, and time have been preserved... no, they've been deceiving me.However, there is only a limited amount that a subordinate god can do without the Great God.

In the case of companies, it's like running a company for decades without a president or a deputy.

The details vary depending on the class, but the spatial attributes of Zulwarn were the most concentrated.

Originally, there were few spatial attribute gods.Even though there were fewer Demon King armies, the ensuing battle between Vida and Alda has further reduced the number of gods available for action.Later, while the Arda faction was reigning over the world, several new gods, such as Raban, joined the pillars, but not enough to make up for the number lost.

Of course, even if you say that the work is accumulating, it is not enough for the world of lambda to perish.It's not that much of a crisis, but it's just a pile of work to deal with.

To put it broadly, it seems that the sanctuary is full of documents that have to be pressed.

In other words, Zulwarn came to Vida's sanctuary, tired from the task of checking documents and pressing the sentences.

Ugh, I want to live by drinking Coke and just eating pizza.

I don't have a job like that. Even the "Fat Evil God" MBBJENGE is involved in the maintenance of life attributes.Or are you going to be a god of eating and obesity? "

Having said that, Vida strokes the belly of a lying zulwarn.He chose Vida for her stupidity because she had plenty of room.

Vida had been away from her sanctuary for more than 100,000 years, but Arda, who called herself "Dharma God", managed the life attributes.

As a result, there is little accumulated work.

In addition, the situation of other attributes is...... The light attribute where Alda was alive, and the wind attribute where the quasi-god Nine Lord acts on behalf of the "god of wind and art" Sizarion, which died 100,000 years ago, are not accumulated in the work as well as the life attribute of Vida.

The original fire attribute god, [God of Flames and Destruction] Zantark, was mutated by fusing with the evil god of the Demon King's army.As a result, I couldn't go back to my previous sanctuary.However, the situation is much better because Farmaun Gordo, who became a quasi-god, acted as a proxy until 50,000 years ago, and the gods of the Flame attribute are much more than the gods of the Spatial attribute.

And the earth attribute that was sealed during the battle between Daigo's [Mother God of the Earth and Craftsman] Botin and the god who was the Lord, is accumulated after the spatial attribute.

The attributes of the water that Daijin's [Goddess of Water and Knowledge] Peria had pretended to be sleeping until recently were similar.

And not to mention the time attribute. Because there are as few gods as there are spatial attributes, Lyclent would be carelessly doing the work of imposing a verdict (the equivalent of a verdict) on documents.

But Vida wasn't relaxed either.

By the way, is the combination of Vida's circular reincarnation system and Rodocorte's circular reincarnation system working?

Zulwarn, you're really here to hear it.

Vida was trying to unify the system she had assembled to govern the reincarnation of Vida's new race and the reincarnation of all animals and plants except the humans and monsters of Rodocorte who perished.

This is also helped by the former Rodocorte's subroutines.

What exactly is it like?

Ufufu, we're not moving at all.

And even with the power of Vida, the great god, it was difficult.

Oh, I knew it. I thought it was going to be difficult, too.

That's right. It's easy if you just stick it, but it's not good if you just stick it.Even if there is no systemic problem, pride and persistence as goddesses will degenerate into the ground. "

If we can only make two systems one, we can do it immediately.However, the result is a system in which the reincarnation destination remains random.

Even glorious heroes, sages, and saints may be insects and plants in the next life.On the contrary, the villains and outsiders who have committed the great sins of history and died without any reflection may be reincarnated in humans, including Vida's new race.

What we do in this world is completely ignored.

Besides, I want to avoid bugs and errors when monsters are led to Vandalism, such as changing from a race, elf, or dwarf to a new species of Vida.

Vida's mutation into a new race of vampires, ghouls, and demons was the mechanism Vida used to transfer humans from Rodocorte's circular reincarnation system to his circular reincarnation system.

Therefore, the original purpose has been fulfilled now, but at the time, we did not expect that Rodocorte would disappear at all, so we did not try to stop Vida's mutation into a new species.

That's why Vida's new races, including vampires, can still mutate races, elves, and dwarves into their own kind.

In addition, Vandaloo can guide monsters and transfer their souls to the Vidal Reincarnation System.Until now, there have been no problems, but there may be problems after combining with Rodocorte's system.In order to prevent it in advance, Vida continued to work on a difficult task.

Vandalu's been helping me, but it's hard.

Eh, are you already helping me?

Yeah, you're still helping me. Here.

Zulwarn turned his gaze to Vida's hand.Then, I saw that many creatures like ammonites were swimming around Vida's sanctuary.

If you look closely, there are some eyes on the shell, and it looks like she's working on something in the Vida circular reincarnation system with her tentacles extended.

"...... Wow, I'm really helping. I mean, after all, I can help you."

Noticing the gaze, I nodded with four heads as I looked at the fragments of Ammonite Modoki's Vandal's soul as he waved his tentacles and greeted me.

Once again, I think that Vandalus is a god who can operate the system that governs reincarnation in the sanctuary.

It's a god of death attributes.It seems that it is possible to work on concepts related to reincarnation.... I don't think I'm very good at it, but I'll cover it in a few days. "

I see. By the way, what happened to the Death Attribute for this world?

Basically, no more attributes exist in the world.However, with the invasion of Guduranis and the reincarnation of Vandalus, there are new Death Attributes in this world.

Therefore, there is one more attribute that needs to be managed.Therefore, the Death Attribute God will eventually manage the Death Attribute.

It looks like you're doing that, too.There's a Vandal who became part of the gods in "Origin", so I know how to do it. "

Where are you doing this?Was there a Vandal's sanctuary?

It looks like you're doing it in one of the internal worlds.

Wow, I don't know if there's a god domain in my body... I'm too unusual to know what's amazing.

The Vandal's sanctuary was formed in his body.

However, it seems that it's harder than we expected for Vandalu to help us out......

"Yeah, even if it's finished, I think it's going to be a manual system that we can run directly, not a fully automatic system that just needs to be maintained from time to time, like Rodocorte's system."... I suppose that's what it should be. "

It is a system for sending to the afterlife a human being who lives a complex and long life for many plants and animals.If you evaluate your life's deeds and change your reincarnation destination, it is impossible for God to have a completely independent system.

If you think about it that way, you can also predict why Rodocorte created a system that did not evaluate any of the deeds of life, but completely left the reincarnation destination to the system.

I was in charge of the reincarnation of multiple worlds, so Rodocorte alone shouldn't be enough to manually move the system.

In order to remain a god of reincarnation in multiple worlds, we had to push through the automation and efficiency of the reincarnation system

Therefore, after thoroughly eliminating the hassle, I guess that system was created.

I see. You can think of that.

It's just a guess.

In any case, Rodocorte himself has disappeared, and the three former users have never heard of Rodocorte's mood or past, so there is no way to know now.

Zulwarn's guess was correct, and Rodocorte was moving the system to remain a god of reincarnation, but at some point the purpose of moving the system might have been to do so.

However, his speculation is completely out of place, and Rodocorte may have pushed for efficiency by shredding the excess from the beginning in order to make the system move with ease from the beginning.

As long as the person doesn't exist, I don't care.

By the way, is it just because there are many difficult tasks that don't progress?

That's true, but it seems that creating a place called 'Hell' and soliciting judges to judge the dead are not going well.

... Hell?

If you decide to reincarnate by evaluating the living deeds of the dead, you will naturally need to evaluate their existence.

And if you change the reincarnation destination, you can't be reborn immediately after death.To a certain extent, a waiting time occurs.

And Vandalu believed that hell was needed as a posthumous world.And if we're going to make hell, there's no heaven.

“I want you to be the judge who decides the division, Jarodipus.”

It's a proposal that doesn't seem sane.I never thought I'd be sane before.

Vandalu's suggestion was rejected by Jarodipus with two necks tilted.

There will be as many as are better qualified than me.

It's a madness to let a former invader judge the virtues and vices of the life of an intelligent life form that lives in this world.

[Evil God of the Chain of Sin] Jarodipus is a god of sin.Therefore, it is easy to expose the crimes that intellectual life has committed before.However, he himself does not believe that the criterion of what is defined as "sin" is fair.

Is stealing a sin? If it is sin, how far is it?It is a sin to steal from someone's pocket or home.But isn't it stealing eggs from a bird's nest?If a bird is a livestock animal, it's the owner's right, but what about a wild bird?

If it's not stealing from a non-human being, what are you going to do with it?Can you get a job? To have a high level of intelligence?Or is the figure a human form?

So, a person who is unable to take a job, a human who is crippled by injury or illness and has a significant lack of intelligence, or an intellectual life form whose figure is not human type, is not defined as a human?

Such criteria distanced Jarodipus, the evil god who came to this world from another world, from the average human.And he is aware of it.

"I don't want to call a sinner a man who has only collected eggs from wild birds."

"Because I am not a human being, I will not stand for the fact that I will not be held accountable for those who oppress me with the same heart as a human being."

“That's why Vida and I want to ask you.”

And Vandalu thought that Jarodipus was the right material for the judge.

“For me, the standards are biased, and the verdict will be either harsh or, conversely, too sweet.”

That's right.

And Vandalu knows he's not a good judge.A few years ago, he sorted out criminal slaves in a slave mine in Duke Hartner's realm, but he fell in love with them.

I don't care how many people they've killed in the past if they like it.It's a personality that I don't care about anymore.

"I said it myself, but I don't have to be so clear..."

It's not a matter of your personality, it's a matter of your fascination with the dead... and your guidance.

”With you in front of me, any dead person will fall in love with you.If you just reform, you might go mad anyway. "

For example, if I was near you a little bit, what would happen if I tried to go to hell on my own?

That's not good, is it?

The mechanism for judging the merits of life... We will make the necessary magic items, etc., but even if there are such things, whether the dead will confess their sins or not will also be the material for judgment.

I cannot welcome the fact that it becomes imprecise.

After all, I didn't think I was going to be a judge.

Originally, I think it would be appropriate for a law-abiding god to do this... but that's it.

It can't be helped. Let's do our best until a suitable God is born again.

As each of the two heads sighed, Jarodipus agreed to become a judge.

Perhaps he remembered Alda's stupidity, which was supposed to be the head of the God who governs the law, and rethought not "refuse because he is not qualified," but "even if he is not qualified, he will do what he can to cooperate."

"But if you're going to do it, you have to think about how the trial works."Vandalu, what kind of trial are you planning to have? ”

Speaking of which, the trial of [Lambda] was different from what I knew.

Criminal trials in the Lambda world are basically conducted by politicians or their designated deputies, and prosecutorial roles are often performed by guards and law-abiding civil servants who have questioned criminals.And there are no lawyers, often in first instance.

And institutionally, the Amid Empire, which will become a sacred country, has adopted a judicial system that is closer to the "Earth" rule of law.

The trial is second instance...... judgments are contested in the city court and the high court, and one of the priests of the Arda Grand Shrine, who is independent from the postural side, is selected to defend the sinner.

... Of course, fair trial in the Amid Empire at the time was only available to the three races of race, elf, and dwarf that the Empire defined as human beings.In addition, even if the defense attorney was present, it was rare that he would prove his innocence.On the contrary, depending on the sin committed by the sinner and the character of the priest in charge, he said that he did not want to have his sentence commuted, saying, "At the very least, I would like the mercy of the sinner to be executed instead of being a slave to a crime."

The priest of Alda is not employed by his client, unlike a lawyer.On the contrary, it doesn't necessarily prioritize the interests of the suspect because it acts in accordance with Alda's teachings and its own feelings.

“I'm thinking of a system where we don't decide at a single trial, but we deliberate and pass judgment on a number of occasions.I will also establish a role to defend the dead.

It's going to take a while to get a verdict, but we won't be in a hurry. ”

Of course, Jarodipus is not the only judge, but by assigning work to Jarodipus' use and ministry, we respond to the judgment of the large number of dead people who come out every day.

God who will join us in the future will do likewise.

Let's do that first.It is dangerous for God to pass judgment on a single judgment, even if he makes a mistake. ”

I was the invader, Aldarari, Guduranis.It would have been easier if there had been an all-knowing, all-powerful being. "

"If there was such a god, we wouldn't exist."

If there was an omniscient and omnipotent god, the demon king Guduranis and the evil gods under his command would be defeated in the first place and somehow defeated.It was unlikely that Zacchart or Bellwood would ever be summoned to this world, as they would have been inferior and would not have summoned a hero from another world.

There is now because God is the one who makes mistakes.

At that time, countless demonic kings, demons, and undead worked to create a postmortem world in Vandaloo's [Internal World].

"Master, I don't recommend that you divide the penalties very finely."The Master's [internal world] is not as widespread as the mythical world. "

"I share your opinion." My [internal world] is a circular dome.It's not divided into scorching heat and extreme cold, nor is it divided into eight layers towards the basement. ”

When Vandalu heard of Hell, he thought of Hell as Buddhism and Christian Hell on Earth.That said, I'm not very familiar with them, and it's impossible to reproduce them as they are in the [internal world].

When I went to ask the "God of the Earth" for reference, there were more types of punishment than I expected.If we were to reproduce everything, there would be very little space.

"However, I didn't intend to imitate it as it was."I planned to adjust it to the myth of "Lambda"... but that seems difficult. "

The afterlife is told separately by gods and sects.

In the world of "Lambda", the Vida gods have not spoken in detail about the so-called world beyond.After all, I outsourced it to Rodocorte.

Even when explaining, many gods were not lying to say, "After death, all life will be treated equally." But many gods were only telling tangible facts.

However, after the Battle of Vida and Alda, when the gods could no longer exist on earth for a long time, each temple created and spread to the people various myths and legends about the posthumous life of the people.

Even in the 'Lambda' world, death is a major theme for people.In times when it is no longer possible for God to preach directly, it is the important role of the temple to dispel people's anxieties and to provide the necessary guidelines for living life.I can't help but tell you.

The gods of the Arda faction saw it from the sanctuary, but did not dare to point out mistakes.Because the creation of the Undead was useful as a guide to good and evil.

Besides, it was not preferable to spoil the trust in an attempt to correct the mistake.The Vida faction's gods, who may eventually come back to life, and the evil gods of the remnants of the Demon King's army must be prepared for battle, but they consume power, and the Oracle's propagation depends on the qualities of the believers it receives.

A is wrong. Even though I told you that it was actually "B", some of the recipients only told me that "A is--really--" and said, "Oh, the story of" A "is still true!It was not uncommon to be interpreted as. "

Nuazah, who received Vida's gift accurately even after it became an undead, and Ailek, who received Alda's gift many times, did not make a mistake.

However, since Vida's new race rose the country as a patron saint for each race, those who became kings within the boundary mountains, the demon continent, Galtland, etc. had the opportunity to speak directly with God, so myths including the posthumous world were never created.

What kind of world did you create?

Godwin of [Former Demon King] was curious about how Vandaloo would make such a hell.Although he has lived for over a thousand years, he has spent most of that time inside the boundary mountains, so he does not know what kind of teaching the temple of human society was spreading.

... I had a chance to learn about it because I had started to interact with the Orbaum Chosen Kingdom in recent years, but I was not interested at that time, so I didn't want to know.

"In the now-defunct Amid Empire, the sinner who was not judged for his sins before his life, and who was judged for his sins after his death, will be judged in the court of Alda, and will be punished until he is paid for his sins in prison.It is common.That's what I was taught when I was young.

... if you look back after learning the truth, even if it's creative, there's too much stuff in it. "

"Well, the purpose of the temple officials is to preach to believers."It is convenient to teach believers, 'Do not therefore evil.'

It makes me want to say a lot of things. "

"Sure, but even if you don't drink and whine, it's just getting dark."What about Orbaum's, especially outside the Temple of Arda? ”

"I'm not familiar with Orbaum either."

After his death, the evil man was transformed into a paintbrush and instrument of the gods in the case of the Nine Road Shrine, and the evil heart was beautifully purified as if it were a tool to create art.

Farmaun's priests are severely trained in the training ground until their sexual roots are rebuilt.

At the Botin Shrine, they are lined up on the golden floor of the gods, burned in flames many times until the evil heart is exhausted, then beaten with a hammer and forged.

In the Temple of Peria, you continue to wander through the waterless wilderness until you reveal to yourself why you have sinned.

In the temple of Reclent, it is used as an experimental platform for the study of the gods, and in the temple of Zulwan, it is used as a toy and material for the gods.

"... only the temples of Lycrent and Zulwarn have the end of the bad guys, they look different from the others."

"The doctrines of Lyclent and Zulwarn are special."

As Lucigiano put it, the doctrines of Lyclent and Zulwarn preach the path of being researchers, artists, and inventors rather than teaching standards of good and evil.

Perhaps it was not long after the Temple of Arda created myths about the post-mortem world that the priests of the Temple of Lycrette and the Temple of Zulwarn appropriately twisted to question the faithful about what would happen to us after our death.

But it's certainly impossible to reproduce it as it is.

I can't ask God to come all the time to turn sinned souls into laboratory benches and toys.

In the first place, isn't it better to study how to torment a soul without hurting it?

"That's true, too. Hell is a punishment, not an execution."

A vandal who can smash and devour souls, but not the souls of evil men.If Rodocorte had been the administrator of the reincarnation system, it wouldn't have damaged Vida, the current administrator.

And you must not hurt your soul too much without breaking it.When the soul is hurt, people lose their personality and memory.I don't intend to honor the personality and memory of the bad people, but if I drop them into hell and abolish them sooner rather than later and leave them in a state where they don't know why they are being punished, the significance of the existence of hell will be diminished.

"However, the dead are only souls and spirit bodies."Punishment without hurting your soul... it's hard to inflict pain, isn't it? "

The soul exists in a state surrounded by a spirit body.In that case, you may think that it is only the spirit body that can be hurt, but if you repeatedly hurt it, the spirit body will gradually collapse and affect the soul.

"It's hard to think about the criminal punishment that inflicts mental pain... if you don't use the power of Jarodipus' divine might."

And mental pain... it's hard to punish a lot of bad people if you remind them of what you did before, show them the illusion of blaming yourself, or if you're going to do it to a certain individual.

There are people in the world who do not feel anything even if they are abused by the victim, even if they are bad people who are suffering from guilt.It is much harder than inflicting physical pain.

Well, it's subtle to impose a prison sentence like a living prisoner.The dead don't get old or tired.In addition, it does not require meals or sleep.

It may be unpleasant to spend a long and harsh working day in a poor environment, but it may not be as painful as it would be in a lifetime.

Well then, why don't we just put the bad guys into their own bodies and then punish them?

At that time, Godwin said such a thing.

You know, you're good at making golems and undead, aren't you?So, if you make a fake body that looks like a bad guy and turn into a painful golem and become an undead, you'll be punished without hurting your soul. "

If it's hard to punish a dead man for not hurting his soul without a flesh, you can punish him with a flesh.Godwin's casual ideas were a shocking idea for Vandalu.

"It's not just the scales from my eyes, it's like my eyes are dropping."

"Hey, is that okay?"

"First of all, let's make a pseudo-initial flesh with Alchemy and try it with the spirit of an appropriate evil person."The ingredients...... Using the soil and stones of the [Inner World], and my blood and [Demon Lord Fragment], create a mechanism that can't escape from the [Inner World]. "

Thus, the creation of hell in the world of "Lambda" progresses.
