The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

God of Religion Arda. Except for its subordinates, it is the only creation god that remains in the lambda world and the most powerful god, including evil and evil.

The source of that power is the number of subordinates and angels who look up to Arda, and above all, the prayers who pray.

He suffered deep wounds after fighting the Demon King, and his goddess Vida, who was supposed to be his brother, but Arda was still powerful.

The figure is represented by a strict gray-haired old man with a thick book, a stern criminal scythe in his right hand, a stern glance with a torch in his left hand, or a sparkling moon. All of them were Alda's figures and symbols.

Alda has been worried for the last tens of thousands of years. The reason, of course, is about the future of this lambda he loves.

To be precise, he has always been troubled. Thinking, listening to the voices of the people, how to maintain and approach order in the light of the world and to maintain a peaceful state, how to spread their ideals and encourage understanding. Always thinking.

But that hasn't been good for tens of thousands of years.

"It's time to change your policy so far. It's ridiculous to have to agree with the words of Rinnegami ..."

"Please wait"

Under Aruda, who had muttered the thoughts of oneself, [Deity of Record] Cyratos, his dependent god and aide, appeared.

The existence of the angel (such as the angel on earth) created by Alda himself shortly after its creation, leading to God. It is expressed not as an independent deity but in the form of books that he carries as Alda's aide.

"Lord, you don't have to listen to Rodcorte's words. It's only a matter of nature, such as the" development "he speaks for."

"Cool down, Curatos. I didn't recognize the need for what Rodcorte called" development. "

The lords of the Rinne, Rodcorte, have been repeatedly argued that the world is inferior to the rest of the world and needs to "evolve."

However, it is equivalent to a mysterious quirk that does not touch the heart of Ardas.

The development and succession of culture and art, and the continued stabilization of one civilization. That's a great thing.

But it was not the first priority for Ardas.

For the gods who support Alda, such as the god of law, Alda, and his subordinates, Yupeon, it is at the time of war. Defeated the Demon King, defeated Vida, but the evil gods are still leaping, and demons and new races of Vida are nestling.

First of all, fight against evil gods and demons, and the new race of Vida. How do you prioritize the development of the world rather than that?

And Arda was aware of the true intention of Rodcorte's "development." Rodcorte only wants to increase the population of this world. The more the number of souls around the reincarnation, the greater the power of that god.

But Arda, on the other hand, did not want much to increase the human population in this Lambda world.

The more people there are, the more resources they need, the more factions are formed, and the nation is made. And it will be conflicting and it will be difficult to maintain order.

Even so, even now, with no more than a billion, it's scary to imagine what chaos and chaos will come if Lambda's total population exceeds the billions required by Lodcorte.

"In the first place, 'development' is not necessary to maintain the world.

I'm impressed with science and technology that doesn't use magic, but is it necessary for lambda?

Electricity, cars, gunpowder and dynamite, airplanes, computers, stock trading. The benefits they bring are great, and people's lives must have been convenient and rich. But are they proportionate to the disadvantages they bring?

In fact, in the world where they exist, energy is destroying nature and sometimes wars and conflicts are taking place.

Automobiles kill tens of thousands of people each year, and gunpowder, dynamite, and airplanes are used for war. Computers give birth to new crimes, and in stock trading people are swaying around intangibles and sometimes ruined.

Best of all, in the world where they exist, the perfect order governing those who use them has not yet been established and is not kept.

Lambda already has magic. And there is a disadvantage that magic also exists, and humans are killing each other.

Why should we take in the seeds of disaster in another world on top of this?

Therefore, the words of Rodcorte do not sound in Arda. They just say that each world has its own circumstances.

That is also the consensus of the gods who support Arda.

"So, what do you want to change? Devil's reincarnation system and Vida's reincarnation system. Without the destruction of these, there would be no peace in the world."

By destroying evil gods and demons, a new race of Vida, Arda aimed to destroy the reincarnation system other than Rhodocorte in Lambda.

Rodcorte himself is a rabbit, and the reincarnation system he creates and manages is perfect. But the other two systems are pre-problem.

The Demon Reincarnation System continues to produce monsters in this world. Sometimes the evil God himself has used it to incarnate and reincarnate.

It contributes partially to humans in the form of dungeons, but it's all about harm ... there's only one harm. And if you only supply monsters to the dungeon, you don't need a soul. It is not impossible to create a doll without a soul only in the dungeon and to arrange it. …… I have to wait for the resurrection of the time and the magic genius Relucent.

And the system created by the goddess Vida is a very unstable thing. It's no wonder that the system was imitated by the Demon King by imitating the original system. Vida seems to be planning to use this system to reincarnate the whole world, but it's too dangerous.

Vida spawned a new race with the demon in order to stabilize the system and spawned vampires, partly because he would assist the system, but by this time imperfect systems had created an imperfect system. There is no reason to entrust the human soul.

"So many courageous people have fought for their ideals, and for them, too ..."

Curatos has [recorded] all the history so far. Therefore, Kuratos considers the past when judging things.

Arda smiled bitterly at the Cyratos.

"I don't think anything will stop quitting Vida's folly. I'm wondering if I can change the way."

That said, Kuratos was relieved. He is trying to document Arda's thoughts.

"So how do you change it?"

Until now, Arda's approach has been to let humans know how to do it, while showing direction.

Gods are the guides, not the rulers. I think Arda is just as good as the rest of the world.

And so far, Alda's policy has been to prohibit the destruction of evil and evil gods, the new race of Vida, and the reliance on different world wisdom, represented by the heritage of Zaccato, except on doctrine.

It entrusts it to the most capable among the believers in the form of an oracle.

However, the oracle is distorted when the believers spread it, and it is often wrong when it is executed.

A recent example is the Arda Temple in the Amid Empire. It over prioritizes the destruction of the new races of Vida and the wisdom and heritage of different worlds over the defeat of the evil gods and their servants. And the empire used it too much for politics.

Because of that, [Evil God of Eternal Delight] allows the power of Hihryshkaka to make a leap.

"I'll tell you what we need to prioritize in the future. Until now, we expected people to make the right decisions, but they seemed to want too much."

"I can't do it. I, of course, the Lord is far from omniscient and omnipotent."

"That's right. There are many things that are invisible even in this sanctuary. I hoped that humans would implement our oracle in a way that suits them ..."

"So what is your priority? Is it the defeat of a new race in Vida? Or is it limited to mixed races with filthy demons first?"

Vida's new race has been heavily stripped in the last hundred thousand years. Few races have their own country, if any, of only a few thousand. There are exceptions like the original vampire, but it's relatively easy to defeat them if they're not already organized as powers and destroyed individually.

So Curatos would have thought it would be a priority.

"No, Kuratos. I'll tell you to give priority to fighting evil and evil gods first."

"Wow! Many people still hold the power, led by [Evil God of Delight], but Bellwood has also slept after becoming a match with [God of the Sin Chain]. ? "

As Kuratos says, evil and evil gods are still more influential than the new races of Vida. In some cases, such as [Evil God of Eternal Evil], it is rooted in the back of society, while in the case of building a large settlement of monsters who serve themselves at the Makai, some of them are boldly separated from the continent There is even a case where a country is established that serves itself on islands and islands on land.

"The battle with them will be harsh and intense. But if we prioritize the defeat of Vida's new race, they will take advantage of it and use it. You must have recorded it? "

Michael of [Ice God Spear] is a modern hero who was noticed by Arda. He practiced the doctrine of Arda and, above all, the teachings of the hero Bellwood. I was going to greet me as a hero at least, depending on my achievements, as a hero god like Bellwood.

"That's true. The sad man has been robbed of darkness."

But Michael's soul was taken away by someone. Perhaps the hand of the evil god of joy, or the hand of the evil or evil god who nests in the land separated by the border mountains?

"Either way, the battle between me and Vida is being exploited by evil gods and benefiting fishermen. If so, prioritize the defeat of those gods over the already weakened new race of Vida. Should be.

And some of Vida's races already have a certain position among humans. ''

Among the races of Vida, giants, beasts, and dark elves have already established themselves among humans. Ordinary people, slaves, serfs, miners, whores, adventurers, craftsmen. Most of them have low status, but some are also found in nobles and royals.

Because their nature is not evil, many countries accept it as a member of society.

"Even if you say that you can destroy it without your mind, it doesn't seem to tell you what you mean, because you can't tell humans about the reincarnation system."

Many humans have blamed Arda for rejecting the nefarious deity of killing the neighbors of the new tribe of good Vida, and many rebel.

Arda expects his followers to help those people understand, but it is still not very good.

"Therefore, we first turn our attention to the forces of the evil gods, while in the meantime we strive to destroy Vida's new race while supporting humans."

"I see. But will humans soon understand the will of the Lord?"

"That's the problem."

Saying that we use the oracle to communicate our intentions does not mean we meet in person. The amount of information is reduced so that humans can understand God's will, and then the person who receives it translates it into his own words and conveys it.

If God's brain is a supercomputer, the average human is at best an old-fashioned portable game console. Therefore, when communicating the oracle, it is necessary to select a strong believer from among those whose wavelengths are easy to match.

If you choose a poor person, you will not understand the meaning of the oracle at all and misinterpret it, and in some cases you may not even notice that you have received the oracle.

So it is correct for the oracle to give the chosen saint or saint a short, simple and understandable meaning.

Unless Arda himself descends on earth like in the days of the Jindai, or invites the soul of a hero like Michael to the sanctuary after death.

"And will you be convinced where it came from? Because our subordinates and angels have always shown that the new race of Vida is evil."

"Because I could not teach humans about the reincarnation system, it was to give a cause to the suppression of the new race ... but it seems to have backfired."

Arda is convinced that the new races born in connection with the demons are evil. There may be good people individually, but in the ecology represented by that vampire, it always leaves a root for the future. Destroy the current order.

And since vampires are ecology, Lamia and Scylla are very different from humans in appearance, so many humans believe in Alda's words and are targeted for subjugation.

But as I mentioned earlier, some of the new races of Vida have been accepted. So, including Arda, Cyratus and the [ice god] Yupeon have signaled that their race is evil. To destroy them.

The only way to destroy the reincarnation system is to use the ability to destroy the soul, such as the Demon King, or to zero the point where the soul is reincarnated ..... It is not good to allow exceptions because it is good and part of society.

"Well, what happened?"

Though he thinks so, he is ripe for his divine work during this thought.

It is spreading the power of its own light attributes and the life attributes it has taken from Vida to the lambda world.

Originally, lambdas should be operated by the eight pillars of the attribute gods and the three pillars of Marduk and Zeno.

However, as a result of the war with the Demon King and the battle with Vida, only Arda remained. The fire and wind attributes are operated by the surviving gods among the subordinate gods of Zantak and Sizarion.

However, the life attribute was deprived by Alda to strip the deity so that Vida and his subordinates would not be resurrected.

As a result, Arda had to operate non-specialized life attributes. Dependent gods are also assisted, but they are not specialized, so they do not become a big force.

It's like demanding that players on a professional soccer team maintain their skills and continue to perform well as a sumo wrestler.

Originally, increasing the number of subordinate gods who are good at life attributes will solve the problem, but owners of vessels that can lead to God will not appear immediately, nor can Arda monopolize the extraordinary. The pain is the same for all attributes.

"A sure solution is to have Rhodocorte manipulate the system and introduce a soul worthy of a subordinate god ..."

Even if it is possible for a few hundred years from a different world to be temporary, it is possible to reduce the burden on Alda's camp and get the best of the fight against evil gods if you get involved in the work.

Curatos shook his head.

"The answer from that god is determined to be" the system cannot be operated arbitrarily. "

"Well, I guess."

Although it has recently been quiet, Rhodocorte is not necessarily cooperative. It would be useless just to ask for help.

"Lord, how are you looking for a new subordinate god? If there are more than heroes, there are currently about three candidates."

Curatos, who opens a thick book, shows Arda a candidate for a subordinate god from the record.

I'm just a candidate because I don't know what happens to the vessel at that moment. No matter how good they are, those who do not lead others will not reach God, and those who do not long for them will not be heroes.

The unnamed hero can be mourned but cannot reach the sanctuary.

Many of them are the three candidates. One person ... the name disappeared.

"... I'm sorry. Apparently, I switched to Vida."

"... Yeah, I succumbed to the temptation of vampires or fell into a demon."

That ecology that makes humans acquired a new race of Vida harms the real world.

"The latter two are Heinz to Beaumac Gordan"

Arda knew about them. Gordan is an avid believer .... Although he tends to be a little too enthusiastic, he is a devout follower who continues to fight vampires on the front lines. Although power itself is lower as a hero, it is first-class in terms of fascinating and becoming a model.

It seems that he intends to take his upcoming expedition to the Border Mountains as his last job, and then withdraw from the front lines to guide him in reverse.

I just hope he can rescue Danpeel, who is regrettable of his breach, with this expedition.

… At this time, Arda was unaware that Dumpel, Vandalu, was a reincarnation from another world. Arda did not have the ability to obtain information from the reincarnation system of Rodcorte or Vida, and thus had no more information than the Priest Gordan reported in prayer.

If you are a little suspicious, you can be convinced that it comes from the distortion of the Vida reincarnation system.

Nevertheless, Rhodocorte, who uttered the hero who summoned in the past `` I will send it away or use it up '', knew that he had banned people from other worlds, and refused beforehand. It was something that God couldn't even imagine sending.

Then, look through the material on Heinz.

Heinz is also a follower of Arda, who has been an A-class adventurer in less than a decade. He is strong, but still lacks some achievement to be a hero.

He may have to be blessed and helped, but now he seems lost.

It is good to get lost. God and man both think deeper because they are at a loss. Blessing should be a help, a reward for what you have done. Do not bind the believer.

He will need a while for a while. I hope his hesitation leads to the right answer.

You just need to prepare in advance.

"As for them, give a notice to Rhodocorte."

It was not an angel created with the power of God, but had to notify Rodcorte in advance to make the hero a kin of God after death. Even if the believer is in charge of reincarnation, it is not the Arda but the Rhodecorte, so if you forcibly imitate it, the system will be defective.

"As you say"

"After that, let those who are available gather here. The subordinates of other attribute gods. I want to talk about the future."

"Haha"

Curatus disappeared after a bow. He's going to come back soon after completing the work assigned to Arda.

"I hope that a second Bellwood will be born from humans ..."

Arda looked up at the sky of the sanctuary and thought of a long time ago.

In order to win the battle with the Demon King, Aruda cautiously wrote Zuluwan, the god of space and creation, who had called for summoning heroes from another world. It was because he was not convinced why a brave man who emerged from another world, like the Demon King, would fight for life in this world and not just turn over to the Demon King.

Vida, however, argued that bold measures would be needed to break the status quo, and agreed with Zuluwan.

And since the reincarnation god could not expect relief, Zurwan and Vida were upheld. But Arda's opinion was not neglected.

First, Zuluwan opened the door to another world, and the other seven gods, including Arda, selected individuals from the world who were worthy of a hero, and invited them.

And Aruda invited Shohei Suzuki and later Bellwood. Vida invited Keisuke Sakado, and later felled hero Zaccato. Five other heroes descended on this lambda.

They were good saviors. There was some disagreement, but discussions led to better solutions.

In particular, Bellwood was the ideal hero for Arda. He was courageous, not to mention his fighting power, and he was always on the forefront of fighting the demon army, and above all, he understood Arda's ideas.

Lamenting Lambda's history, culture and civilization, which had been lost as a result of the fierce battle with the Demon King, he had to embrace some other world civilization, including language, in the process of reconstruction, but Bellwood was even regrettable.

"I like this world, Alda-sama. This wonderful world is completely different from the one I was in.

If we defeat the Demon King and become peaceful, this world will be much better than the one I was in. ''

It may have been inevitable that Bellwood and himself, who had said so, began to fight with Zaccato and Vida, who had called for aggressive adoption of the wisdom of another world.

"If you think, that was wrong"

Arda looks back. Surviving himself, Bellwood and the two braves who agree with his opinion, and Vida.

But Vida had no trust in the Ardas by that time. Although Bellwood had no choice but to defeat the Demon King during the battle, he would not have been able to forgive him for abandoning the Zaccatos.

No, Vida seemed suspicious that Ardas would have caused the Zachates to die.

The cracks that had entered deepened, and although the Demon King had defeated and torn in thousands, it was fought between the two surviving gods.

'I should have thought deeply about Vida's words, accepting the parts I agree with, and elaborating the reasons why I could not.'

Originally, the world was normal in the presence of multiple gods, which was true for the gods themselves. In particular, Alda and Vida were gods with extremely different values.

In the past, Sizarion, Recrent, Marduk and Ganpabreo were intercepted. Zuluwan and Peria summed up their opinions. But they fell asleep or died.

"If we had confidence in ourselves, Vida might not have been on the verge of creating its own reincarnation system or spawning a new race."

I think so, but at the same time, I don't think we should just make a major change, not just a change in priority, but an admission that we have banned it.

To change the doctrine that he was wrong is to say that those who believed in him so far were wrong.

Above all, those who have been sacrificed so far do not come out.

For those who have buried it as "evil," they cannot change the "right."

"Lord! It's important!"

At that time, Kuratos returned. Just change your blood. I've seen him upset so far since the fight against Vida.

"The ice god Yupeon destroyed the alter ego artifact!"

"What is it !?"

However, Aruda also showed deep excitement in the report of Kuratos.

Because only those who have the same crushing power as the Demon King can do that.

"Whether the Demon King has resurrected or a new Demon King has appeared ... Either way, you must first find out who has crushed the alter of Yupeon."

Whoever has the power to break the soul must be destroyed. That fight must not be repeated.
