The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 388: God Hidden from the Mad God
On earth, the evil gods of the remnants of the Demon Army, parasitized by the fragments of the soul of Gdulanis, and the vidian gods and sub-gods were making noise everywhere. Even in the shrine where the gods of the Arda faction were gathered, it was no less noisy than winning.
What does this mean!?
Why did you unlock so many of the sealed Gdulanis Soul Fragments at the same time!?
Answer me, Arda!
Unseal the Demon King Gudulanis Soul Fragment. It was such a huge incident that even the inconclusive gods who had decided to see opportunism had forgotten me.
Even in the Dark Avalon case, multiple Gdulanis Soul Fragments have been unsealed and Gdulanis has been resurrected incompletely. But the main culprit was Rodcorte.
However, it was Arda, whom they called the chief of the gods, who unsealed this time. The shock they remember is not the previous ratio.
Of course, if the evil god follows the Devil King, why did he parasite Gudulanis's soul to the Vidaism gods?! If you do that, even if you defeat the Vandalou, your battle with the Vi 'idah will not end!
Arda has told the gods who follow him that the world will be protected by defeating Vandalou. However, the vidas have not persuaded us to defeat the other great gods.
For the presence of the gods is indispensable to preserving this world. Currently, only the gods of the Arda faction have managed to maintain it. But if a battle like the one that Arda and Vida fought 100,000 years ago were to happen again and on a larger scale than before, it might be time for the gods to run out of power to sustain the world.
However, the world does not perish at the next moment when maintenance lags, but begins to collapse gradually from the edge, so there are hundreds of years at the earliest. However, it will not be possible to have enough new gods in about a hundred years.
No, the Arda faction won't win the gods' battle.
The gods of the Arda faction have even consumed the national power of the Holy Nation of Amid for this jihad. I'm not sure how much of the jihadist army will survive, but there's no doubt that there will be a significant decline in the number of believers. No, if Arda were known to have unleashed gods with Gudulanis Soul Fragments embedded everywhere, he would have unleashed Arda, except for some fanatics like Ariek and the faithful in a secluded area where no information came from outside.
Since the gods are separated from each other, it is now only Vandalu and the others who can gather and analyze information from around the world. As a result, the jihadists have been deceived by the presence of Ariek, and Arda followers everywhere have no idea what is going on.
However, as time passes and information passes, people will understand that it was not Vandalou who caused this incident, nor the Vi 'idah gods, nor even the remnants of the Demon King Army, nor Arda.
Because the gods with the Gdulanis Soul Fragments embedded only appear where Vandalu's might would exist, and only above the Vi 'dar Demon Empire and Jihad on the side of the Holy Nation of Amid.
As a result, the energy of faith is rapidly running out, and the power of the gods of the Arda faction is expected to decline. Defeating the Vandalus will weaken the beliefs again in the same way as the Vi 'idah, but it is the Arda faction that will have the greatest influence.
In the worst case scenario, it is possible that the Arda faction will be defeated by the Vi 'idah faction even if people turn to the faithful of the Vi 'idah gods and defeat Vandalu because of their mistrust of the Arda faction that unsealed the soul of Gdulanis.
We and the Vi 'idah will fight forever!
Or are you going to burn the entire Bahn Gaia continent, not just the interior of the border mountains, in this jihad!?
Alda, please tell me!
They were stuck in Arda's shrine by a robust gate. And in front of the gate stands Niltak, the god of repentance, in silence.
Niltak! Would you please take care of Arda?
Did you hear this in advance!?
He was originally a cadre among the subordinate gods of Arda, and since the demise of Curatos, the "God of Records", he has been regarded as the heart of Arda.
There are other main beings such as Ninelord and the "God of Ice" Union, but because Ninelord is attached to the "Five Colored Blades", he is not in the Divine Zone, and it is unknown where the Union is and he cannot be seen.
Therefore the gods of the Arda faction paid attention to Niltaak, the only one who appeared before them.
Unfortunately, neither have I revealed Arda's intentions.
And it came to pass, in the words of Niltak, that the gods revealed their anger. Arda did not even consult with Niltaak and carried out a riot to unseal Gudulanis's soul independently.
Arda is becoming more and more confused about what she is thinking.
Well then, shouldn't we still stop Arda!?
We have to tidy things up! If Gdulanis is resurrected incompletely, the world may perish this time!
And no matter what Arda was thinking anymore, some of the gods began to complain that they should give the highest priority to tidying things up.
The assertion is very true. This is Arda's deliberate plan, and even if we could defeat Vandalu, it would be pointless if the power of the gods of the Arda faction were drastically reduced in the process or the world would perish.
"... I see. I understand your intentions. Apparently, I have a role to play too."
When Niltak said so severely, the gods thought he was going to go to Arda to fulfill his role as belly.
Gu? Eh...?
What are you doing!?
However, Niltak shook his symbol, the scythe, against the two-pillar god, who complained that Arda should be stopped with his face stiffened.
The god of the two pillars is cut down by a scythe and falls down. Once delayed, the other gods backed up with a mixed voice of fear.
Hey, what are you doing!?
Niltak answered the gods silently, asking them with no anger or scream.
"I only fulfilled my duty and acquitted myself of my sins. What do you doubt?
Niltak is the 'God of Reprisals'. Executioners, Avengers, Bounty Hunters are the gods who believe in the Lord. The scythe he he bears... Death size is a symbol of guilt and a divine power.
Gu, uuuuu
Wow, what sin have we committed?
The effect is the backward compatibility of the "Pile of Law", which can deprive the injured person of his freedom of existence. Naturally, you can do damage, but you can't break your soul.
"What does it mean not to say that it is a great sin to challenge the actions of the chief and to rebel in order to inhibit even jihad?
Ha!? What sin is it to hope for the survival of the world!?
"It is a sin for any reason to do anything contrary to Arda's laws."
Even if Arda did something like unseal the Demon King!?
That's right.
Niltak asserted that it was time for the gods of the Arda faction to shut up. And Niltak continued to speak unto them.
'It is the law that defines what is sin, and Arda is the god of law. If Arda is sin, it is sin; if he is not sin, it is not sin. Why don't you understand the most natural thing?
What constitutes a sin varies from country to country. Some countries are not guilty of minor crimes if the perpetrator is a nobleman and the victim is a civilian, while others are bound to prison if even the nobleman takes the life of a slave. Some countries die simply for stealing horses, while others simply pay compensation.
It is the law that determines what must be punished for sin, and it is the politicians who govern the country in this world who set the law.
Niltak therefore thinks that the law of the gods should be Arda, the chief of the gods.
If you understand, do your part. These two pillars will be appropriately disposed of by Arda after the jihad is over. "
If we continue to protest, we will be eaten by scythe. Understood that the gods of the Arda faction departed from Arda's Divine Realm.
I can't believe this...
"Did we miss an opportunity?"
You can put the world at risk to defeat Vandalou and protect it. Arda's thoughts are so distorted that she doesn't notice such a contradiction. It was too late for them to realize that.
But beyond the door protected by Niltak, Arda looked at the earth, roaring with remorse.
I didn't expect to be eaten so much by the remnants of the Demon King Army and the Vi 'idah gods who have embedded Gdulanis Soul Fragments... their combat power was far above expectations...!
According to Arda's calculations, Vandalou does not move from his home base, Talos Heim, and the forces deployed everywhere are nailed on the spot. And in that gap, Heinz and the others were supposed to infiltrate the inner border mountains by Nine Road.
But Vandalu moved from Talos Heim. I didn't know the details because there were no followers on the ground, but the 'Goddess of Regeneration' Luzemagella is free from the fragments of the Gdulanis soul he parasitized. Vandalou is the only one who can do that.
And Vandalou's presence everywhere is more powerful than expected, fighting more than ever against the gods that Arda has unleashed. But that's unexpected for Arda, but not inconvenient. The inconvenience is that Heinz and his five-colored blades do not move quickly to Talos Heim.
They walk as if they were going for a walk. Since they are protected by the wind of Nine Road, they should not only be seen in the eyes of the monster, but also in the eyes of the Vandalu himself and the wizard.
"What the hell is going on, Heinz?"
In his thoughts, Heinz, who defeated and leveled up Vandalou and gained even more power, should have sealed Gudulanis again.
One soul fragment alone is not as dangerous as the previously incomplete resurrection of Gdulanis. Keep Gdulanis Soul Fragments together for as long as Heinz defeats Vandalu. And then it would be even more convenient if you died like that.
And Heinz, who resealed the fragments of Gdulanis' soul, was supposed to lead the surviving human race as a new hero... in line with the victory of the Vandalus crusade.
"What are you thinking? Are you waiting for Vandalu to defeat my unleashed gods and eat all the shards of the Gdulanis soul!?
Arda also expected Vandalou to receive some Gdulanis Soul Fragments. On top of that, he thought Heinz had a good chance of winning. But Vandalou, who has eaten all the soul fragments, has a different story.
Are you confident of winning? Vandalou, who has eaten almost all of Gudulanis. "
Even Arda, who is not aware of it but is trapped in madness, cannot be so delusional about Heinz and Bellewood. But he has few hands left to hit.
There are still the seals of the evil gods of the remnants of the Demon Kings Army and the gods of the Vidas, but it makes no sense to just let them go. Remnants of the Demon King Army are more likely to flee if they have room for escape. If the Vi 'idah gods were to join the Vi 'idah first.
Because they have no reason to stay and fight.
Again, in order to discard the sealed gods, you must embed Gdulanis Soul Fragments. But there are only two fragments of Gdulanis' soul left. [reason] and [wisdom]. But even he now understands that it is dangerous to let these two go.
And the most powerful of the remaining evil gods is the "evil god of the sin chain" Jarodips. The anecdote that he had an affair with Belwood gave him the power of the faith of fear.
But Arda decided it was more dangerous to let him go than [reason] and [wisdom]. He is an evil god who has endured the Pile of Law for tens of thousands of years. Its spiritual power has the potential to suppress Gdulanis' Soul Fragments and shake his magic in an attempt to get Bellewood to sleep again.
Even if you use other evil gods... Evil gods and sub-gods have flesh, so embedding them can be a piece of flesh. Unfortunately, however, there is no seal of flesh fragments in the Shrine.
"At last... I have no choice but to get off myself"
At that time, there was an intense struggle among the gods in a place on earth.
Ghhhhhhhhhhhh!
Hiyaaaaaaaaaa!
■■■■■■■■■■
The masses collide, the fury blows, and the explosion chains. The earth is torn apart, the mountains collapse, and the lake is broken.
Gwaoo! Gaaaaaa! Gruuuuuuu!
It is the giant bear that is roaring in disastrous tears. Ulugus, the vidaistic "Bear Beast King". He stood up with his hind foot and waved his forefoot in order to make himself look strong, even though he was frenzied, either because of the embedding of Gudulanis's [Vanity].
Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
The real giant with brown skin who keeps screaming like a roar is "Desert Giant" Bazaraza. With Gudulanis' [Fear] embedded in it, he has lost much of his reason for frenzy and fear and is rampant.
■ ■ ■ ■■■
And with a roar that cannot be heard in the existence of this world, fighting the above two pillars of sub-gods is "War God of Flame and Destruction" Zantark. He was furious with Arda's outrage and was on the verge of losing his reason.
Xantak! Calm down!
Tiamato, the rushing "Mountain Princess Ryujin", stopped Zantak unbearably. She also remembers a fierce rage against Arda, who has embedded a fragment of Gudulanis' soul into the Vi 'idah gods.
However, Zantak's violence was so intense that he had to turn to the role of forgiveness. The battlefield is far enough away from the only city on the Magic Continent, but at the same time there is a pseudo-sanctuary where Zantak usually lives... outside the sanctuary.
Zantak is a great god, even if he is a sub-god with a body like Tiamato. It should consume a lot of energy to act on the ground that is tainted by magic elements and has a different environment from the age of the gods.
Xantaak has absorbed and fused the two pillars of evil gods that have emerged from other worlds, thus obtaining things like flesh, so the amount of energy required will be considerably reduced compared to the amount originally consumed, but it should still be small.
Tiamato, ■ ■-! ■ ■ ■, ■ ■ ■!? ■■■
So why don't you calm down!? Please don't!
Unfortunately, however, she had difficulty communicating with Zantak. Tiamato doesn't understand Zantak at all, because he's known each other for a long time. I just need you to calm down and talk to me slowly.
But Zantak must understand Tiamato's words. But there's no stopping the fight. He is deliberately moving loudly to attract the attention of Urgus and Bazaraza, spreading red and black flame bullets and waving his fist wrapped in a black aura.
When this happened, Tiamato wondered whether he should join the fight and finish it as soon as possible.
But the ice pile that stood in front of her suddenly broke apart.
Ugh! Tiamato, if you're free, give me a hand!
It was Diana, the Titan of the Moon, who broke the mountain and showed up. Wearing the giant transformation gear she received from Vandalou, she looked beautiful in the glare of ice fragments reflecting light, but there was no one who could afford to be aware of it.
Kill me, yeah! Hurry while you're my self!
Because Gyudzidziz, the god who blew Diana away and smashed her into the ice mountains, appeared. At first glance, it resembles a giant frog, but it has an unusual figure with countless eyes all the way to the back of its head, back, elbows, knees and tips of its fingers.
But like Fidilug, he is one of the pillars of God who turned from the Demon King army to the Vidaism, as he appeals to kill himself quickly. It also resembles the shape of a Vandalou soul. He does not possess the power of the Abyss.
It's not unusual to be free! Why can't you control him?
"Cumming, it's not easy, but we can't defeat it! You know!?
And because they are allies, they cannot be defeated. As a result of the defeat, if Gyudžez's consciousness is swallowed by Gdulanis' Soul Fragments, he cannot be helped.
Can you hold him by magic!?
I tried but was evaded!
Gyudzhizz is said to have all the magic eyes except [Demon King's Magic Eye]. Among them is the Magic Eye, where you can see the magic flow. As a result, even if I tried to magic him, he would be avoided immediately. If you try to cast irresistible magic, you can even sense it and activate opposing magic.
It is not the will of Gyudžizz, but because he is manipulated by the fragments of the Gdulanis soul that parasites him. However, the reaction rate is gradually increasing. Gyudzhezz is being taken over.
Hurry up, you faggots!
"... are you trying to piss off your concubines and kill yourself?"
It's a prank. I need you to rescind that word after I help you. "
While understanding the intentions of Gyudžizz, the goddess's two pillars stand up blue. If magic doesn't make sense, I try to suppress him with a fleshbullet fight, but then Zantak moves.
■■■■■―
As they crushed the ground, they approached the gods who ran wild.
Guu!?
Gah!
I pushed Urgus and Bazaraza and dared to hit Gyudzhezz.
But given the size of the movement, the fragments of the Gudulanis soul that parasitized him will try to avoid them.
Don't move!
However, Gyudžez, who resisted the rule of Gdulanis, petrified his own flesh with [Petrified Magic Eye].
As a result, Zantark's body hit and his petrified Gyudžez's forefoot broke apart.
Tiamato, Diana, please wait! Protect the city!
And he turned himself into a flame, stretching against the gods of the three pillars that ran wild.
"Nah! Wait, Zantak! Don't tell me you're going to seal them up for yourself!?
The intent of Zantak, who appeared before him, was as Diana shouted. To seal each of the Urgus and force them to stop their activities so that they are not further eroded by Gudulanis Soul Fragments.
Zantak, who is powerful and has no precise control, will involve people and cities nearby if he fights outside the Continent. That's why I use myself to seal up the Vi 'idah gods in order to lighten the burden on Vandalu, leaving behind Diana and Tiamato who can fight while defending the city even near the Magic Continent.
■■■■■■■■■■■■……■■■■■■■■■■■■ ■■■■■■ ■■■■■■ ■■■■■■
(If this is just the remnant of the Demon King army, I would be glad if it was just a slap... Arda's stupid brother, a brilliant tactic. I'll never forget this anger! Vandalou, I'm sorry I left you to deal with Arda's foolish brother! Come and unseal the seal later.)
Leaving such a cry, Zantak turned into a giant obsidian and sealed off the three pillars of the Vidaism gods.
At that time, on the other hand, there was a god who tried to seal up the gods who ran away on their own, just like Zantak.
Ahhhhhhhh!!
The name of the runaway god is Dermatak, the god of pure flame. We are over the Duke of Birchkov.
Nuaaaahh! Whoa, whoa!
While losing consciousness for more than half a century, he is vigorously raising his own flame in an attempt to reject the embedded Gudulanis evil . The problem is that each time he does it, he consumes a lot of his own power, and even if he just plunders it, the heat of the flame is scattered so high that the whole body will carbonize.
Originally, Darmataq's flame was a purifying flame that only had an effect on the undead, but the nature of the flame has changed due to parasitic [evil].
As for Arda, he would have liked to have Darmataak descended over Vandalu's comrades in the Duke of Hartner or the Duke of Birgit without the flames of purification changing.
However, it was prevented by the fact that Darmatak himself changed course on the way to the ground as a result of his confusion and resistance, and came over Duke Birchkov's territory, as well as by the [evil] embedded by Arda himself.... an unfortunate stray bullet for the Duke of Birchkov.
Kuoooooooo!
It is Rafaz, the Beast King of Birds, who wings and manipulates the wind so that the Darmataq flames do not fall to the ground. If he is the king of all birds, it won't take long to fly from the Magic Continent to the Burn Gaia Continent.
But it won't last long because I'm really doing my best.
That's why a god seals Darmataak in a flash.
"Ahhhhh!? Good luck, you!
Darmatak noticed the appearance and for the first time spinned meaningful words.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but please bear with me!
The opponent was Pharmaoun Gold, one of the brave men of the Arda faction who attacked the gods of the Darmataq and the Viddas more than 100,000 years ago.
You aaaaaaaaaaa!
Until then, the flame that had been burning to resist Evil was thrown to attack the Far Mountain. However, fire is ineffective on Pharmoun, the god of fire attributes.
Besides, I can't take the time!
The Pharmoun, which flew further above Dermatak, used himself to seal him through his blazing flames.
Because, as I said, I couldn't take the time.
That's to help Darmataak, because he has limited time to work on the ground himself, and above all, because he doesn't want people to see where Pharmoun is active.
Zantak's chosen hero and founder of the Adventurers Guild, Pharman is a known vidian god who turned into a vidian in the Vi 'dar Demon Empire 50,000 years ago.
However, in human society, including the Duke of Birchkov, it is recognized as the god of the Arda forces.
If the Pharmacy is active, if you can see it fighting the Darmatak, who was supposed to have been sealed as the god of the Vi 'da faction, the people on the ground will realize that "for some reason the Vi 'idah god who escaped the seal is in trouble, and the brave Pharmacy, who became the god of the Arda faction, has come to seal it".
That's why I wasn't supposed to be active in this jihad.
Rafaz, please! Good luck deceiving me!
Pharmoun succeeded in turning Rafaz into a jewel to trap Dermatak and seal him.
Quaaaaaaaa!
Rafaz responded by sucking the orb with his mouth and flew away with a huge feather, as the humans on the ground could see, drawing the sacred sign of the Vi 'da in a trajectory.
