Woowooooong
The heavens and earth echo.
The sight of a human chosen by a god being reborn into a higher existence through the faith of mankind.
The one whom all beings shall worship.
Deus returns once more.
I hastily descended to the ground in my true form.
Then, I struck the divine barrier, enveloping Deus.
– Lord, my Lord?
Even though I hadn’t met her face-to-face, she recognized me instantly.
Deus has regained his divinity.
An event unforeseen, even beyond the power of “omniscience.”
Does this mean that Deus’s rule has gathered divinity within her?
How could this happen…
It’s a cause for celebration that Deus has regained divinity like before, but…
The situation is far too complicated.
She, who achieved an incomplete resurrection, has now become a goddess.
She still hasn’t solved the impending issue of collapsing when she regains her past life’s memories.
If she becomes a deity and obtains divinity, who knows what might occur next.
However… if things go well, she may fully reclaim her past life’s memories and restore her rightful place as a complete deity.
If that happens, I might be able to retrieve the past Deus.
Kuung
For now, I quickly isolated Deus from any external variables.
A separate dimension in which space itself is divided.
Then, I embraced Deus from behind.
– Huh, huh?! Ah, Uncle?
– Lily. You need to focus. What you’ve acquired now is divinity. Hold on tight so it doesn’t burst out from within you.
– Yes, yes!
I infused my energy into her body, aiding her containment.
A massive amount of divine energy began to gather within Dios, forming a core.
The sight of a living human becoming a god.
It resembled the past Deus but was different.
Not an ordinary god by any means.
Such a colossal divinity emerging from the faith of the entire continent.
However, even though it’s derived from the faith of the continent, the size of this divinity is simply overwhelming…
…I see.
This isn’t merely the divinity obtained from the goddess, Lily.
The divinity accumulated over time from the entire continent towards Deus is gathering as well.
Ever since ‘that day’ when ‘chaos’ fell, the whole continent has praised the one and only omnipotent God, Deus.
Yet Deus lost his divinity, entering the body of a human somewhere in Orias, thus unable to receive that divinity.
Even if he were merely human, it wouldn’t be strange for him to regain his divinity and become a god, but…
Due to the unusual case where divinity did not perish despite the breakdown, perhaps he couldn’t receive it until now.
And now, all that pushed-back divinity is converging upon her.
Deus closed his eyes, concentrating to gather the divinity in one place.
An overwhelming amount of divinity that surpasses even that of the other gods that once existed.
As the son of Deus, Luke Christos, I could sense that the divine energy I received was only a tiny fraction of an immense quantity.
As the divine core formed inside, Deus, or rather the human body of Lily, began to reconstitute.
Every cell composing her body transformed into the divine body of a god.
Once a young girl from Orias’s slums who lived a short life, with the soul of Deus now inside, she started to be reborn as the one and only God, Deus.
– Grrr…
Deus grimaced.
An unprecedented level of divinity.
Could such an existence even exist among the gods of other dimensions?
Even Saros, the great, or rather, the lord of all ‘chaos’, Ouroboros, would never have possessed such divinity.
It felt like time stretched into eternity.
The containment was endless.
I was so focused on aiding her containment that I had no idea how much time passed outside.
I hope nothing unusual is happening out there.
Woowooooong
– Haah…
At that moment, a breath of sacred divinity escaped from Deus’s lips.
Deus has regained complete divinity.
– Uncle….
– Lily?
Deus opened her eyes and looked at me.
Is this for real?
– No… my son. My beloved son, Luke!
Deus rushed into my arms.
– D-Deus!
You’re back!
Deus has returned!
In a situation even the power of “omniscience” can’t grasp.
But regardless, Deus has regained her memories!
The reason doesn’t matter!
As long as Deus is back!
And if she’s alright!
Then!
– Grrrrraaaaaaah!
Suddenly, Deus screamed as if her head was about to split.
– D-Deus?
She collapsed to the floor.
Was something wrong?
Did we fail?
– D-Deus!
I poured all the divinity from my body into her core.
– No! Deus! How could I have just found you again!
Is it not in a complete state of divinity?
Her existence is becoming transparent once more.
She’s about to disappear.
– Please! Please, Deus…
I can’t lose her like this.
What do I do… how…
At that moment, the scenery enveloping me changed.
Did we move to another place?
A dark landscape.
Everything was surrounded by pitch-black darkness.
No.
This is not mere darkness.
An infinite space.
So immense… it appears to be the universe itself, making darkness the only visible aspect.
Even the power of “omniscience” cannot fathom the ends of this vast space.
– Young God.
And in the very center of that space, a colossal being ‘was.’
An entity that felt only as if it simply existed.
An existence I couldn’t even begin to guess.
– I am Nyx. I am the owner of the items you have utilized.
Can she read my thoughts?
No, more importantly, items?
‘Nyx’s Garden.’
An ancient artifact that enables you to freely wield the realm of imagery.
The owner of that item?
Is this Nyx’s realm of imagery?
– I never thought there would be a young god using the fragment that vanished while I slept. This must be fate.
I couldn’t see her face, but I could feel it.
A colossal cosmic existence.
The primeval deity overseeing countless dimensions was watching me.
– I shall grant you your wish.
You’ll grant my wish?
– That’s right. Isn’t your beloved woman’s life hanging by a thread?
No way…
– I shall ensure that she is revived. I will stabilize her soul within her body.
Really?
…Then what is it that you seek in return?
– You.
What?
– I want you.
Did I hear that right?
What does that mean?
– You shall belong to her. That is her condition.
You mean… I have to belong to her?
– Indeed.
…An entity I’ve never heard of suddenly appears.
Knowing nothing yet offers to save a dying Deus.
If Deus can fully return, then becoming her possession is nothing.
If being her slave means saving Deus, then…
– Hmm. Would this suffice?
Nyx spoke again.
– You will need time to reunite with your beloved. I grant you 1000 years. When your woman becomes whole again and those 1000 years have passed, then I shall take you.
1000 years…
– What do you think? Will you believe me now?
She wouldn’t trick me.
Offering me 1000 years is quite generous.
Then…
– I accept. Can you save my Deus?
– Hehehe. The contract is established.
The scenery surrounding me changed once more.
Heaven.
I had returned to my domain.
Lying on my bed was Deus.
I hurried to the bed to check on Deus.
Deus…!
Is she alright?!
What if the god named Nyx has deceived me!
When I arrived before Deus, she slowly opened her eyes.
– …Deus?
– Luke?
– Are you really safe, Deus?
– Umm… it feels like I’ve had a long… very long dream.
I couldn’t find any issues no matter where I looked at her body.
The previous instability was completely healed.
I can’t believe it, but Deus has… returned.
– Yes. My beloved son, Luke. I’m back.
– Deus!
I embraced her.
– I really… really missed you…
– Hehe. You cried for me, Luke. This mom is so happy.
– I’ll never… never lose you again!
– Hehe, yes. Mom won’t leave again.
I won’t let you sacrifice for me anymore.
I won’t lose you again!

A while later
The beginning and end of the universe
The cradle where everything was born
Nyx’s domain
– Khaah!
Kuung
The goddess of the universe, Nyx, who existed since the beginning, has fallen.
– Haah. Haah. …I never thought the young lady would be defeated.
Before the fallen Nyx, Deus revealed herself.
– Now, as promised, I shall take back all rights to our son. You have no objections, right?
– Haah… there’s no helping it. As agreed, I will transfer all rights to Luke Christos to you.
A small orb glowed from Nyx, flying into Deus’s hand.
– Truly… how regrettable. To miss the most alluring entity of the entire universe.
– Ha. How dare you covet another’s son.
Deus glared at Nyx.
– So this is the ownership of our Luke.
Deus gazed at the sphere of divine energy in her hand.
– Our son really… this mom would’ve been lost without him.
That was close to being sold to that old hag.
Though everything she did was to save me.
Looks like I’ll have to return and give my son some motherly love filled with affection ♡
