The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Quiet talk 5 Vida
In a dream, Vida, who sleeps asleep, did not know if she was dreaming behind the eyelids, or if she was opening her eyes and seeing a delusion.
No matter how omnipotent and almighty, she was originally depressed because of her fight with Aruda 100,000 years ago.
(100,000 years more, before ...)
Born in this world, Vida spread the power of life attributes around the world, and was called the goddess of life and love at times.
At that time everything was peaceful. Everything was very slow and calm.
However, it is destroyed with the demon invasion. Vida had no choice but to fight the Demon King, an invader from another world, like other gods.
At that time, Zuluwan proposed to summon a hero from another world. She agreed, and Arda disagreed, but eventually managed to sum up and summon the seven heroes.
Although the gods of the different world got the consent, only Rhodocorte, the only person in charge of reincarnation, continued to oppose hard. But no one listened to the word of God who spoke only.
And she chose Keisuke Sakado, a young man trying to hang his head at a town factory. Later is Zaccato.
"Oh, the goddess has come to pick me up.
"Be sure to stop and don't die!
(I was in a hurry at that time, pretty much)
It seems that he was trying to commit suicide because his studio, which had been betrayed by an organization called Ginkgo, was forced out of business.
Then Vida thought that he could comfortably be a brave man in this world, but Sakado showed his mystery from there.
"Well, can you tell me special powers?"
"Of course"
Empowering the human chosen by the hero was already the default route. On the contrary, if you invite from another world without giving anything, you will die at worst.
The fact that the world is different naturally means that the laws of physics are different and the components of air are also different. Lambda and the world of Sakado and others are not so different, but if they are brought in without any adjustments, the magical power floating in the air could shorten their lifespan or transform them into strange monsters.
The soul is adjusted to prevent it, which results in the so-called "brave power". The amount of "margin" of the soul that can be adjusted is called "the hero's qualities".
…… If the expert Rodcorte cooperates, this adjustment will be quite free.
Later, this world called "Earth," which Zuluwan connects, has no magic, and no resident can handle magic. Furthermore, it was already known that very few could fight with swords and spears, and none of the inhabitants was at a level capable of fighting the Demon King or his army with their individual combat abilities.
It is impossible to bring the weapon of `` Earth '' (the laws of physics are different, so if you take it as it is, it will definitely break if you use it once, it will explode or explode), so give strength to each hero Was supposed to be.
So, even if they weren't asked, they were going to give them the physical ability to treat the protagonist in the action movie as a small fish, their aptitude for magic, and powerful equipment dedicated to the hero.
What's more, Lambda already has a system of jobs and skills created by Relent.
With experience, you'll get the unimaginable power.
"I'd like a production cheat."
"...? I'm in war now
For some reason, Sakado showed a strong commitment to "production". Ordinarily, wouldn't you want the power to defeat grasshoppers and enemies with a sword, or the power to exercise great magic freely? Rather, do we want such a hero?
Even if Vida appealed, Sakado did not give up.
"I'm weak."
"So I'll make you stronger!
"But I feel like my treasure is rotten ... I'm sick of exercise."
"Huh ... Even if I say a production cheat, I'm a goddess of life attributes, so I'm going to do agriculture, livestock, forestry, woodwork, etc. Is that OK?
Vida decides to break. I didn't have the time to spend days on the stones, and there was no other candidate.
"I'd like to know that industry is still in my mind."
Thus, Sakado was invited to Lambda as a brave who, unlike the original plan, placed more emphasis on productivity and technology than on individual combat capabilities.
Although Vida dropped her shoulder to invite this strange hero to herself, surprisingly, the hero chosen by the three gods, Ricrent, Peria, and Botin, also seemed to have hoped for a "production cheat".
Are four out of seven hopeful for production, and are the images of the heroes in Earth fundamentally different from what they envisioned? It was like tilting my head.
Arda and Zantak were angry that they could choose more seriously.
After that, it was a fierce battle after a fierce battle.
Many islands have sunk, the country has been destroyed, and Sizarion has been crushed. Nevertheless, the heroes, including Vida and Sakado, fought hard, defeating and blocking evil and evil gods, and managed to keep the battle conditions even.
And from there, Sakado ... Zachart, who was encouraged by the brave leader Shohei Suzuki and reluctantly changed his lambda style, came to the fore.
"It would be possible for the gods and humans of this world to turn over to the Demon King!"
He proclaimed that he had flew away and headhunted evil and evil gods who followed the Demon King.
"What are you thinking about, Zaccato! They're evil! They can't be converted. Did they ever forget what they've done to innocent people !?"
"That's right. If they fall to this side, it's just a trap or a beggar. In the first place, it is an inconceivable violence, such as pulling in a guilty entity without penalty. ''
"I'm asking you to go back!"
Despite being stopped by Bellwood, Arda, and Vida, Zachart did not stop headhunting, but rather, the brave ones who wanted the same production line began to actively cooperate.
And unbelievably, he was able to turn over more than ten pillars of evil and evil gods, although he wasn't in a great position in the entire Demon Army.
"No, isn't it often a war like this?"
"Lie, oh! ? Zachart said with a crisp face, to surprised Vida.
The gods who turned over were not necessarily superior in direct combat, but the traitor seemed to have caused more shock and upset than expected.
Rather than being charismatic, the Demon King reigned with overwhelming power and secret skills that could break the soul. Some worshiped the power, but many subordinates feared the Demon King or merely obeyed for their own benefit.
The existence of such a traitor tells the Demon King Army, "Is the power of the Demon King weakened?" "They turned over because they believed that the brave had something to defeat the Demon King. Isn't it? "
And he succeeded in putting the subordinates into doubt that other subordinates might betray themselves.
The Demon Army, which boasted of unity of iron, disturbed the cooperation, and some began to turn over. But I can't be careful. Before the Demon King regains unity, it must attack.
In such a situation Zachart declared that he would begin manufacturing "weapons of another world".
"With our knowledge, skills, and magic, we can make modern weapons of" Earth "with this lambda!"
He called for his weapon to defeat the Demon King. This was because the Demon King had a lot of annoying special abilities that made it difficult to defeat by ordinary means.
A barrier that disables all magic and a barrier that neutralizes all physical attacks.
This prevents even the most savvy Bellwood from wielding the sacred sword of Bellwood, stopping even the attacks of the gods.
Zachart came up with a way to break through that barrier and damage the Demon King.
"Even though the Demon King came from a different world, he did not know of a world where a scientific civilization like" Earth "developed.
Examining the Demon King's Barrier, Zachart notices that the Barrier is not a "hard wall that repels attacks", but rather a "film that absorbs energy."
At the same time, they also found that the barriers between physics and anti-magic were independent and had no effect on each other.
In other words, if the physical barrier is defeated with a super-powerful physical attack that cannot be absorbed, the magic barrier clears it without stopping it at all.
It is enough to penetrate one of the barriers to reach the demon attack.
So copy the modern weapons of Earth and the power of Zachart, which nullifies the damage from one specified weapon, with the power of Bellwood, which copies the power of the same hero once a day. Of modern weapons.
Later, he attacked with Bellwood, which became invincible to weapons, and "Modern Weapons of Earth."
Defeat the Demon King as it passes through the Demon King's physical barrier. I planned the strategy.
Bellwood, however, strongly opposed the operation. The weapons that Zaccato was trying to make had problems with Earth, which would leave irreparable scars in the environment when used.
Invisible poison is scattered widely and persists for tens of thousands of years. A terrible weapon.
"Zakart, are you sane ?? This beautiful lambda just leaves a plague in place of a demon king !?"
"Everything that leaves evil will be robbed by the Demon King if you leave it alone! And, unlike the earth, there is magic and not all the world is polluted. It's just a continent, and no one is there anymore. ''
"But there are people who have fled from that continent! They're joining the army fighting with us! Home must return forever! "
"... I think they are bad, but I can't win without sacrificing.
And Suzuki, aren't you just not comfortable with making "Earth" weapons? "
He was divided into four Zachart production heroes who supported the use of weapons, and three Bellwood and other battle heroes who opposed it.
Originally they tended to collide with something, and Zacquard was appalling the production heroes who complained of the unbearable Bellwoods, saying, "Okay, I can't win without help."
However, he seems unbearable this time.
Among the gods, Arda and Zantak agreed with the Bellwoods, and Vida, Zuluwan, and Ricrent agreed with Zacht.
Vida was confident that the pollution heaped from weapons could be eliminated in thousands of years if the gods did their best, and in less than a few years if they did well.
And bad for those who have evacuated, the continent has already been contaminated by the Demon King's army, including poison lakes, deserts, and demonized fungus forests. I thought I had to give up to some extent.
But Ardas said, "Can you really purify the poison that has never existed in this world? If the poison is linked to the magic of this world and it becomes a new calamity?" You should win. "
The fact that the war situation was leaning on this side also created room for trouble.
Meanwhile, Zachart began to create Modern Weapons of Earth to change the views of the fighting heroes and the gods who supported them. To be precise, it began to create the poison that the weapon brings.
He was trying to create a thin poison in much smaller quantities than was originally possible, to see if it could be purified with the magic of the world and the power of the gods, and how long it would take to do so.
Other production heroes cooperated in the work, and Vida continued to persuade Arda during that time.
At that time, the Demon King's army suddenly went on offensive.
The Demon King has divided the army into two parts and launched a large offensive that is willing to sacrifice. One is a large army under the direct control of the Demon King, who plunges into the base of the Valor Army where Bellwoods are located.
The other is a small army led by a Demon King's aide who attacks the weapon manufacturing workshop where the Zaccatos were.
The Bellwoods stood there to defeat the Cavalry Army and the Demon King who was heading for them. Vida attempted to rescue Zachart and was stopped by Arda.
"The Zaccatos are also brave. With a small army, they can cope themselves. On the contrary, they will return and come to this reinforcements.
Above all, shouldn't you give priority to defeating the Demon King? "
(At that time, I thought Arda's words were correct. So ... but ...)
And the Bellwoods rejected the great army. However, the army consisted of small fish that depended only on the number, or detention monsters specializing in endurance and defense, and the Demon King who led it was fake.
The Zakarts were crushed by the Demon King who had been transformed into a lower-class monster, and his studio was destroyed.
"The brave who can beat me is now destroyed!"
The Demon King Gudranis claims to have shattered Zakart's soul and proclaimed it so high.
The Demon King was more afraid of Zackart than Bellwood. They were worried that the measures they would take could reach their lives someday.
So I was concerned about defeating the Zacharts even at the expense of many. Crush your soul so that it never revives.
Vida and the Recruits managed to revive the Zaccatos. He tried to join the broken souls and somehow try to revive them.
By then, however, Lodcorte had already recovered the shards of the Zachart souls.
"A soul that is not part of my reincarnation reincarnation system revives itself in lambda, and it is not clear what kind of malfunctions will occur in the soul created by splicing broken pieces.
I wanted to return to the original world if possible, but I have no power to interfere with the world outside of my jurisdiction. Therefore, I repaired it into one soul using four pieces, and then shed it on my system. This was also a bone, but not as much as an unexpected error or bug. ''
Already, the souls of the Zacharts have gone out of reach of Vida.
Bellwood declared with a holy sword.
"I'm sorry for them, but for them we can defeat the Devil King Gudranis with our power and save this world!"
(Since then, there were only things I didn't want to remember ...)
The result is that Bellwood has won. This lambda has been saved.
But the sacrifice was too much.
The three Bellwood fighting heroes survived. But the gods were as weak as the eleven gods except Arda and Vida.
Nobody survived Bellwood's army.
A number of contaminated areas remained, including the continent where the Demon King lived. Many have not been purified, even after 100,000 years, and the contaminated areas have been called "Makai".
And the survivors, race, elves, and dwarves all, did not exceed 3,000.
"Certainly the sacrifice was great, but we are alive. We have to move forward. Please cooperate, for the future."
Then Vida rejected Bellwood's hand appealing.
(Time doesn't rewind, what you lose doesn't come back even if you regret it. Shouldn't we hold our hands to pay for our sacrifice?
I don't think Arda's words are correct. But I couldn't believe them anymore)
Did you not make a sacrifice?
Certainly, there is no evidence that the Demon King could be defeated, even though Zachart's strategy was implemented. But shouldn't Bellwood have listened to his opinion?
Bellwood opposed Zachart and stopped his plans in Black Powder, Matchlock, Land Mine, and Steam Engine.
Certainly, what Zachart was thinking would be a disaster for the world if used incorrectly for danger. Vida has never heard of his idea and has talked that it would be dangerous to do it.
But we still talked. I haven't denied it without thinking.
Also, when I think about when the Demon King came in, I couldn't help but doubt.
(Haven't Bellwood or Arda intentionally abandoned the Zaccatos?)
Was he deliberately deceived by the Demon King's trap?
There is no evidence. Until then, it was said that it was just a delusion, and she came from a different world without any relation to Lambda, fought for this world, and finally defeated the Demon King I think
But I couldn't believe them.
More than that, Vida could not believe Rodcorte. What is important to that god is the reincarnated soul in the world under his jurisdiction, and he would not care otherwise. You may have thought only this time that it was "good to beat the Demon King".
If the Demon King asked, "I want to increase the number of humans you want, instead of God who originally existed in this world, give me a hand." I can't help thinking that.
And the loss of the Zaccato production heroes was great not only for Vida, but for Lambda as a whole.
After they were destroyed by the Demon King, the Bellwoods fought again in a war situation leaning toward the Demon King, causing repeated battles, with gods, volunteers, and refugees guarding their comb teeth. Also made a tremendous sacrifice.
And still, the Bellwoods are struggling to revive a devastated world. Because the power is specialized in combat, the demon left by the Demon King can be eradicated, but he is merely an amateur in agriculture and manufacturing.
That's why they needed Vida's cooperation ...
(I made a different decision to cooperate with them)
Vida thought of building a unique reincarnation system of this world and creating a new "human" that could survive even in a world where the current demons are rampant.
Then rebuild and rebuild the world and join the Ardas.
As usual, both Arda and Bellwood opposed, which was what we expected.
(But I'll acknowledge if my attempt succeeds. I thought it was the only way to convince them that my words didn't reach me.)
So he did not listen to the words of Arda. If you ask me if there was any remorse, I can't deny it.
And Vida spawned a number of new races. He then poured vitality into the remaining body of Zachart and succeeded in undead.
The aim was for complete resuscitation, but the attempt failed. It was impossible to reverse life or death unless there was a soul at hand or an entity controlling death itself.
Therefore, only a doll with a fragmentary memory and knowledge of Zachart, moving with a slight residual idea, could be made.
(Still, I don't think he's angry, because he said he should be using whatever he could.)
With the help of former evil and evil gods who joined his subordinates, Vida created a unique system that imitated the reincarnation system left by the Demon King.
However, this was a dangerous and unavoidable thing that could only move, but always had errors and bugs, since it was only a copy of the system of the Demon King, which mimicked the system of Rodcorte.
No matter how bad it was, I realized that Rhodocorte was an expert on that path.
(But I didn't want to give up. I recruited collaborators, created a new race with them, and put the souls of the born children into the system.)
Vida thought that what was needed to improve the system was experience. To do so would at first inconvenience, but it was imperative that children who had actually created them dive into the ring of the system and were born again.
Fortunately, at that point, the imperfect system was performing well to Imperfect.
Vida's newly created children were also growing steadily.
(Because of imitating the Demon King's system, life expectancy will be longer or stronger than expected, and some children will rank up and change their appearance greatly, but it was good because it was originally intended to increase strong children Wasn't it?)
It was not good. He realized that he should have had a table with Ardas earlier, when he attacked with the heroes.
Arda kept the youngsters of the Bellwoods, who should have had a long life, saying, "It is necessary for the world."
Arda has subordinate gods and followers who support him after the Lord has perished or has fallen asleep. Fought.
And I lost. After all, whether or not there was a hero divided the fate.
The capital of Vida's children, built on the knowledge of Zaccato, has been destroyed. Vida was deprived of her deity by Arda .... She was deprived of her authority as a god and was deeply wounded.
Still, he struck down the remaining power and took the surviving children as much as possible, creating a high and steep mountain range in the southern part of Bang Gaia continent, making it a shelter for children. He fell asleep.
(How long since then?)
10,000, 20,000 or one million years? I do not understand. The power has come back to an unknown degree.
Alda has no power or ability to cause irreparable wounds to Vida of the same rank, but apparently they destroy the believers who are the source of God's power, so that more and more people pray to Vida It seems to be driving.
Now, all the gods who cooperated with Vida are deprived of their deities and are asleep or worshiped attentively. I don't know if Talos were safe. Vampires who are powerful among children have not yet lost the temptation of those who suffer from this world.
(Why did this happen? Why did Arda keep doing such brutal and cruel things?)
Why do they keep hating the former Demon King's army god who betrayed the Demon King while they were trying to make up for them, even though the Demon King no longer exists? You are the one who torn the opportunity of redemption to nothing. It is you who teach you to atone for sinners and that the one who has atoned is not a sinner.
Why do you hate "earth" knowledge and technology so much? This unique world still exists thanks to the braves we invited from Earth.
Why blame my attempt? You believed in Lodcorte more than anyone, even though you suspected it.
Why do you want to destroy my children? Why don't you notice that truly evil gods are nesting in your pocket?
Anyway, he is exhausted and he just goes to ruin, why?
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
At that time, the predictions in Vida's mind passed. I don't know if the effects of Zachart's body sleeping next to him or whether her power has recovered a little, or whether Lcrent or Zuluwan, who has stored power somewhere, has helped. But that was a prediction.
(I'm coming back. I don't know why in this world, but Zaccato is coming back to this world ... Keisuke and others are coming back!)
Rodcorte forcibly joins the broken pieces of the souls of the four heroes, and the soul that has flowed through the system returns to this lambda.
(But ...)
Predictions showed that he was reincarnated, born in a tragic environment, suffering from helplessness and dying himself. That's what Lodcorte paid for.
"It must not be"
I couldn't overlook it.
He has no shards of his memory at the time. Personalities are completely different. But I couldn't leave it.
I couldn't do anything to Keisuke. I couldn't reward anything.
So reward that little bit.
Vida thought so and made some oracles. I was worried if there were anyone who could listen to my voice, but it seemed to arrive.
And when prediction came true, Vida struck down. My extended hand was so weak and sad that my heart seemed to break, but I still reached out.
Scoop up the soul that has come down to this world with your hand. In the process, I noticed that my soul had three pesky curses.
"Rodocorte ...!"
It is very hard to break the curse. But before Vida was disappointed, she noticed the singularity of the soul.
It has a special attribute of magic not found in lambdas, but it is strangely memorable, and has extraordinarily many soul margins.
"Yes, it's the space for four heroes. And since Rodcorte forcibly spliced it, the extra margins increased.
Even so, there are too many blanks, but help him to keep up with the curse in this blank space.
At first he tried to harness the power of the life attributes he once controlled. However, the special magic that the soul already possessed swallowed it and united it.
"Oh, is that strange? I guess my power is down. Well, my blessing ... this is no good! ?
When I tried to give blessing, it was swallowed again. The kind of blessing knew it would be difficult to give if the object given did not believe in that god, but what does it mean to be swallowed?
"Um ... then what should I do?
There are few things Vida can do right now. Previously, they were given special abilities and cheat abilities, but now they don't have much power. If you try, you may be given one, but if you swallow it again, you won't see it.
"Okay, let's do this!
Vida scooped up some residual thoughts from the body of Zaccato. Then, he wraps his own blood that oozes from the wound with the residual thought.
And added it to the soul. Then, because they were originally one soul, they became one without being disturbed by magic.
"This soul has received my blessing. The unfortunate fate should get a little better. And there is no limit to his growth, despite the walls. It's easier to get new jobs, and people around him should be affected.
Well, the most important fate is bad bad luck.
But somewhere with this magical power ...
And Vida sheds his soul on the system he created. He is supposed to be born as a vampire or dampir, due to his soul compatibility. And most of today's vampires don't usually have kids, so they'll probably be born dampir.
The innate environment may be harsher and more cruel than before Vida's hands.
"After that, if everyone listens to the oracle and takes action ... I'm sorry, I can only do this."
You have taken your life to save this unrelated world, and your soul has been shattered. I'm sorry I can only do this.
If possible, I want you to love this world.
I want to love the sky, the wind, the earth, the greenery, the animals, the people.
I'm so sorry for relying on that and still having my expectations on my back.
And Vida's consciousness sank in a sleep.
