– Deus.
Thousands of deities emerge to surround Deus and Luke.
– We have come to condemn you for disturbing the order of this universe.
– …What?
A considerable number of existing deities from the entire universe gathered here.
Even I, who have lived an unreasonably long time, have never seen such a sight.
How on earth did they gather all the gods of this universe in one place…
At the forefront of the gods stands a half-squinting man.
Brahman.
A deity that has rapidly expanded its influence recently.
– To expand such influence and pollute the order of this universe… Equality, compassion, love… all mere tricks to mislead our servants with falsehoods. Therefore, all the gods of the universe gather here to judge you.
He proclaimed with a stern face.
It looked as if he were the leader of this group.
Could it be that he gathered all these gods together?
Is it to eliminate Deus, who is also rapidly expanding his power, feeling a sense of crisis?
If so, that is an incredibly effective measure.
No matter how powerful Deus may be, it would be impossible to protect Luke while simultaneously confronting this many deities.
‘You take Dias and hide for a moment. I’ll take care of all these little fish.’
‘I can handle this much…!’
‘No! I know you’re strong. But who knows what might happen when facing so many? So just hide for now. That way, I can fight without worrying!’
‘Deus…’
‘Luke. You can listen to your mother, right?’
The sounds of communication echoed between Deus and Luke.
Deus… I thought of him as a barrier blocking my path to my love.
This feels really unpleasant.
Boom!
Ka-boom!
‘Luke! Hurry!’
Deus desperately blocks the gods’ attacks, while Luke watches in confusion.
They plan to eliminate him in advance, as he may grow into a powerful being in the future.
Not just anyone… but Luke.
Kuung
I had sealed my true self, but now I unleashed it intentionally because its existence itself could shake dimensions.
– An interesting story indeed. Condemnation, judgment.
Kuung.
– This pressure is…
– No… It can’t be… Why is she here?
– That primordial deity?
Unlike my avatar, the moment my true power returned, the chains that bound me by Deus were ripped apart.
– Then let the primordial Nyx face me.
I thought my true power might inflict permanent harm on Luke’s dimension, so I came here in avatar form.
But if it’s to protect him, that changes things.
Whoosh!
I unveiled my true power, ‘Mental Space.’
‘Mental Space’ devoured this entire space and turned it into my domain.
– Th, this is!
– It’s the power of the primordial deity Nyx!
– Is this what I’ve only heard of…?
– Nyx… you.
I flew towards Deus, who was looking at me with a startled expression.
– To help us?
– No.
I had no intention of helping Deus.
Since the moment I revived her at Luke’s wish, she had been outside of my interest.
However.
– I’ll save Luke. My partner. If it’s to protect him, I could sacrifice everything. Deus, how about a little wager?
– A wager?
– Let’s see who eliminates more enemies. The winner gets Luke as a condition.
– You…
Deus looked at me with a face that screamed disbelief.
Crash!
– Ugh!
With a flick of my hand, I pierced a deity aiming at me with a tentacle of divinity.
– Deus. Are you planning to just stand there and daze?
– …I don’t know anymore. Yeah, there’s no time for this. Let’s do it!
Deus soared high, diving into the crowd of surrounding gods.
A journey to win love with Luke.
The obstacle was not Deus, but these guys.
A new opportunity.
A chance to use all my power to make Luke fall for me!
I moved forward, not to be outdone by Deus.
And with tentacles of darkness, I pierced through the surrounding deities.
– Gaaah!
– W-What?! Why is my ‘domain’!
The fundamental structure of the gods’ unique domain stems from their essence and the mental space derived from that essence.
But ‘Mental Space’ is my unique power.
As long as the mental space of this universe is under my control, no one can use their ‘unique domain’ without my permission.
– No, no!
– Why isn’t the ‘domain’ being declared!
The ‘domain’ of the god of abundance.
The ‘domain’ of the god of war.
The true power of a deity comes from the unique domain that is derived from the essence that brought that god into being.
However, without the ability to use that domain, these thousands of gods are merely transcendent beings who can wield divinity.
That’s also the reason why countless beings who have come to my domain at the center of the universe have lost to me.
Only Deus could defeat me without using a unique domain.
Barring that exceptional case, facing these minor gods, I would never falter against that woman.
– Gah!
– P-Please, save me!
Confirming that Luke was being safely protected by my ‘Mental Space,’ Deus began to slaughter the deities without hesitation.
…This might lead me to lose.
I need to speed up a bit.
*
In an area filled with divinity after the demise of numerous gods
The space that had been packed with thousands of gods had mostly disappeared, leaving only a handful.
Could it be that Nyx would help us?
More importantly, to think that’s what the power of a true self looks like.
Wasn’t it just an avatar’s strength when fighting Deus? Was he conserving power?
The deities that had been overwhelming for Deus alone had finally been defeated, thanks to Nyx’s assistance.
To think that so many gods couldn’t even use their ‘unique domains’ and simply vanished.
That was the ultimate power in divine slaughter.
Is this what it means to be the master of ‘Mental Space’?
How did Deus manage to win and come back from Nyx’s domain before?
But I couldn’t just sit back and watch while Nyx’s intentions were to engage in a sexual relationship with me.
How to untangle this ambiguous situation?
My head was starting to hurt.
By the way, has that fight up there ended?
Until now, I had been focused on defending against the deities attacking from below to protect Dias, but now I should be able to attack.
Boom!
At that moment, I saw one remaining god plummeting to the ground.
Then, I saw Deus diving down rapidly.
Ka-boom!
Her fist struck the ground.
– Whoa!
– Quite a durability. I never thought it could hold up for so long.
That half-squinting god, who had seemed to lead so many gods to this place, was the only one left and was getting beaten by Deus.
He looked utterly wrecked, entirely unlike his first appearance.
Deus tried to charge the divine skill into her right hand to finish him off.
At that moment.
– Stop!
Kuung.
Deus froze in place.
– M-my body!
And Nyx, who was following her down, also halted in midair.
– No way. The True Self did this?
Time itself had stopped for their bodies.
No.
Time itself froze even for me.
Time stood still for everyone except that male god.
How could this happen?
– Ah… To think Nyx would also be here. My whole plan has gone awry.
He discarded his previously noble speech and spoke with a demeanor akin to a common ruffian.
– That was close, too close. If I hadn’t had a backup plan, I would’ve been obliterated. Imagine that happening to Brahman here.
He wiped away the blood stained on his body while brushing his hair back.
Backup plan?
I then realized that a massive amount of divinity was swirling around him.
Did he sacrifice the other deities as his pawns?
– Actually, Deus, I hoped you would obliterate as many gods as possible. That way, I could absorb more of their divinity. I didn’t expect you to kill this many, but it’s fine. Thanks to that, I’ve managed to gain most of the divinity in this universe.
He reappeared beside me.
– I’m grateful for that part, but… you almost got me killed!
Screech!
Brahman grabbed my neck and lifted me up.
– Do you have any idea how much it hurt! How dare you… dare to go up against Brahman!
– N-no…
Deus looked at me, flustered.
I tried to move, but time itself had frozen, leaving my body and divinity immobile.
– I’m going to teach you the pain you caused me.
– No, stop!
– Stop it, Brahman!
Deus and Nyx shouted in a panic.
But Brahman only tightened his grip.
Crack!
– Ugh! W-What…!
He didn’t twist my neck.
No, he couldn’t twist it.
Because someone else’s hand had pierced through his chest.
– H-how…
Brahman slowly turned his shaking face around.
And behind him…
– This time, I’m different.
A blank-faced Dias was holding Brahman’s heart.
She was so different from the Dias I knew… no, she was too unlike the Dias I once knew.
– This time, I.
