The Great Spirit and I proceed over the King's Capital.

Due to its considerable altitude, this one will not be visible from the people on earth.

Most people who know magic must be aware of the unusual reactions of the Great Spirit.

Of horror, the disoriented must be continuing.

A strong wind blows through.

I would have felt chilly if I was alive.

In this body, such suffering has been greatly alleviated.

If I looked up a little, the moon was floating in the night sky.

Missing halfway through it, it's quietly shed light.

I think it's a beautiful sight, but unfortunately it's not a situation where you can enjoy it.

The leading Great Spirit overlooks the streets that extend beneath his eyes.

"It's a good city. It conveys the idea of the ruler."

"Right."

While returning the short gavel, I am alert to the behavior of the Great Spirit.

As things stand, there's no sign of anything being set up.

At least it didn't seem like he wanted to kill me with a deceptive strike.

I know I'm not going to go around like that, but for a moment I'll be relieved.

The Great Spirit who stopped in the air turned this way.

She looks me in the eye.

"Demon King. What is your purpose"

A sharp gaze.

The inquiry of the Great Spirit included the intention to identify.

Therefore I answer with perseverance.

"- It's about me being the only absolute enemy and uniting people. And keep world peace."

It's what I've been trying to do in the Valley of the Dead.

I have always been looking to make it happen since then.

I do not intend to distort it in the future.

…………

The Great Spirit, who heard the answer, watches me for a while.

Eventually she took her gaze off.

Signs of a tranquillity in the mind are becoming mild.

"I see. I've spoken to someone named Demon King several times, but I've never heard of such a purpose"

"Are you gonna stop me?"

"No way. You are the enemy of humanity, but you will not bring doom to the world. I can't help you."

The Great Spirit only naturally affirms.

I was uncomfortable with the expression.

Instead of "not" handing it out, she said she "can't" hand it out.

I wouldn't have misstated it.

There is a huge difference between the two expressions.

(What do you mean?

When I was secretly surprised, the Great Spirit accidentally approached me.

She acts like she puts a finger on her mouth.

"That reaction... you don't know the significance of the Great Spirit's existence"

"Existential?

I trace back the memories I gained in the valley of the dead.

Are you wearing out over time or just a bunch of silly things?

I did not have the knowledge to do so in my lifetime.

"I'm sorry. It's shallow."

"No, it's a matter of no choice. It must have been forgotten in a shifting era."

The Great Spirit shakes his head.

It's not the tone that blames this one.

She speaks with objectivity.

"First of all, as a premise, this body is not true. You'll notice that, too."

"Oh. It would be a split or something like that"

"Exactly. I am acting via this split. Because the present state, the main body, cannot be represented in the world."

The Great Spirit confesses.

It was information I had never heard of, but it would be true.

There's no point in the Great Spirit lying here either.

"The reason why you can't manifest it involves the presence of the Great Spirit."

"Yes, I'll tell you about it now."

The Great Spirit moved up to a position where he could look down at this one.

She starts talking in a hearty voice.

"A Great Spirit is a defensive mechanism created according to the logic of the world. The world, that is, exists to prevent the destruction of this planet."

"Being to prevent the doom of the world..."

I recite.

I didn't know the Great Spirit had such a role.

It shouldn't have been anywhere in the past literature.

"There are other beings in charge of defensive mechanisms. Great spirits other than me, dragon gods, etc. would be easy examples to understand. Some have died in a long history, but new beings are being born instead"

The Great Spirit reveals new facts one after another.

It's all about the first ear.

There may have been times when it was known among people, but it must have weathered over time.

"As I'm sure you know, defensive mechanisms like ours have a lot of power. But there are certain limitations."

"A certain restriction?

"We cannot manifest ourselves without problems that destroy the world itself. We can't interfere unless it's the size or the area."

The Great Spirit lightly reveals what can be described as his own faults.

Such theories had been put forward several times in the past.

It is the idea that there may be some constraint to being like the Great Spirit rarely showing up.

It had not come to a conclusion because there was not enough material to confirm it, but apparently it was not wrong.

I've learned the truth in unexpected ways.

"Are you saying that the activity of the great spirits and dragon gods described in the myth was a situation that falls under it"

"Some descriptions mix falsehood, but you'll be generally sure with that interpretation. Or if you are using a split as you do now? Unless it's the main body, because it allows some free movement."

"A certain degree of freedom of movement… is it not a problem to have the Empire vanished?"

I will mention and point out what happened only a few days ago.

The annihilation of the Empire was carried out by the Great Spirit.

Never an act I could criticize, but there were countless deaths due to that event.

The opposing Great Spirit snorts flatly.

"Yes, because the act of annihilating the world cannot be carried out, but the annihilation of the Empire has nothing to do with it. If you care, you can eradicate humanity."

She mentioned horrible things.

I know it's not "the mood" right now, but depending on the mood, it means that its power will ripple across countries.

Early contact was the right answer.

In this flat dialogue, the Great Spirit is still a disaster itself.

It's never like a human being can do something about it.

(... well, it must be a disaster for me too)

On the scale of the damage, it far surpassed the Great Spirit this time.

And it will continue to grow.

It must be the same from people's point of view.

While mocking myself with my heart, I change the subject.

"I understood the story. But isn't my presence even more negligible if the world's native defensive mechanisms?

"As I said earlier, you are not the one to destroy the world. out of the conditions of manifestation. I knew it sensibly from the first time I saw him, but I was sure of it when I heard what it was all about."

The Great Spirit answers instantly.

There's no stray mouth.

I guess it was a question I didn't even have to think about.

Surely it was only the first time I was attacked by her.

It is also like being struck eight times in the midst of an eclampsia.

Since then, the Great Spirit has never been hostile to me.

He's really not willing to fight.

It was desirable even for me.

She is an opponent who must do everything in her power, and if she is going to fight, she cannot take into account the damage done to her surroundings.

I don't want to fight.

"The defensive mechanism is not on the side of humanity. It just turns out we can save them."

"I see."

I am convinced by the claims of the Great Spirit.

Her priority is the world itself, and humanity is only there to accompany it.

You may help yourself in the process of fulfilling your role.

It was just that.

From the perspective of the Great Spirit, humans are not eligible for asylum.

It would rather be close to a pest.

Not enough to kill aggressively, but I haven't found a piece of value either.

And in some cases, I don't even hate to smash it.

But here's something that bothered me.

I turn that question to the Great Spirit.

"Why are you telling me this story?"

"I just want to say it's a whim, but half the reason is a warning. If you try to destroy the world, the defensive mechanism will activate, starting with me. Don't forget."

"... ok. Remember the liver."

I nod mysteriously.

I guess it's never a joke.

So far it has been determined that he is not the person to be wiped out, but there is a risk that he will cover it depending on what he does in the future.

At that time, we will kill each other with the Great Spirit.

Be careful with this, but you don't actually have to get too nervous.

I will not destroy the world.

I am a demon king, but what I actually want is world peace.

It is the exact opposite event.

It will not be hostile to the presence responsible for the defensive mechanism.

When I was sure in the back of my brain, the Great Spirit came down to me.

"That's all I'm talking about. I'll be waiting in the first place I see you."

That's all I told her. She flipped and flew at high speed.

I quickly push it to the other side and I can't see it.

At that time, there was a new hole in Wang Du's defensive junction, so I fixed it with my magic.

I weaken a little while standing in the air.

I tried to sigh and remembered that I couldn't do it.

(I wondered what would happen, but you're done with nothing...)

I just felt mental fatigue.

He was an uninspiring opponent.

Turned out to be no enemy, but he wasn't on his side either.

I want to return the secret stone as soon as possible and refuse to engage.

It would not be a presence that should be in frequent contact.

However, we also got useful information.

It's the concept of the world's created defense mechanism.

We have to be careful not to conflict.

I just feel calm and take a glimpse of the royal castle in the distance.

We plan to start raiding during the night, so it's time to get ready for the Demon King's Army.

I think I'll get ready to leave, too.
