– Luke Pulsreino.
– What the heck is your identity?
– Son of Deus? Apostle of Deus? Or are you really Deus himself?
I moved to a secluded place and spoke to her.
“Lilith. I thought I sealed you away… Can a deity really converse like this?”
“Hmph. So you’re not even a being that surpasses the deities, huh? You don’t even understand the nature of the seal properly.”
Indeed, this was my first time sealing a deity’s consciousness.
I never expected the sealed target to pop out like this and start talking to me.
“Considering you’re helplessly sealed, you probably shouldn’t be talking back.”
Ugh…
Translucent smoke gathered in mid-air, taking on the form of Lilith.
So, she can actually manifest herself to a degree!
But I highly doubt she can break the seal by herself.
That would be dangerous. There’s no way I could handle a deity outside of the realm of dreams.
“Honestly, if it weren’t for that strange sorcery of yours, there was no way I would lose to you. The magical energy I sense radiating from you is impressive by human standards, but it’s nothing against transcendent beings!”
Yet, seeing you fumble around trying to manifest like this, it doesn’t seem like you have that ability, does it?
Seriously, is this the visage of the God of Evil that has invaded and conquered countless dimensions?
It makes me feel so small.
Well, whether it’s an excuse or not, her words aren’t entirely false.
The reason I was able to win against Lilith was because the space we encountered was the realm of dreams.
If I didn’t possess the power of Dia, who had transcended, I wouldn’t even be thinking about sealing Lilith; I’d be planning my escape.
“In the realm of dreams, the power you wield and the power you have now are completely different. Your true abilities are only usable there. You must be under some ‘constraint.’”
Um… not really.
It’s just that I’m strong there because of some sort of bug.
“And I sealed you away without destroying you. You realized when I was destroyed and started moving ‘Chaos’ to warn me, didn’t you?”
This girl…
Just by using the means of ‘sealing,’ she figured out that I fear the other evil gods of ‘Chaos.’
She’s definitely a deity.
“So?”
– Huh?
“What now? What can you do? Besides whining about how unfair this is, what else can you do?”
– … Ugh! You, who can’t even unleash your true power! The moment ‘Chaos’ learns of your existence, it will obliterate you!
This confirms it.
Lilith can’t escape my seal.
Even after receiving such provocation, if this is all she can muster in a soul-like form, then this must be her limit.
Well, considering the quality of the sealing, it makes sense.
Plus, I used the transcendent power of Dia.
The only problem is what happens if someone sees Lilith floating around like this…
– Just the presence of my commanders would be enough to wipe you out!
Now that would be truly troublesome.
“Hey? Luke?”
It was then I heard someone calling me from behind.
Oh no. If they see Lilith floating like a ghost!
Turning around… it’s Seiren?
“Seiren? What are you doing here?”
“That’s my line. Luke, why are you here?”
Ah, thinking back, only Chancellor Wackfa knows about my involvement in today’s incident.
Wait, does she not see Lilith?
Is she only visible to me like Ignis?
That would be a relief.
“Oh, I just had a brief meeting with the Chancellor.”
“With the Chancellor? You? Why? What’s going on?”
Ah, did I accidentally reveal too much?
“Chancellor? Wait a minute… Were you in the gym today? I heard two first-year students got caught up in something!”
I messed up.
“Oh, haha. I let it slip by accident. Yeah, I got caught up in that incident.”
“Are you okay?”
Seiren rushes at me, shocked.
“I’m fine. The Chancellor saved me. I’m not hurt at all.”
“Really? I didn’t think anything like that would happen to you. That’s such a relief…”
She then pulls me into a hug.
Despite wearing leather armor, I could feel her softness against my face. Coupled with her sweet fragrance.
Thanks to my game knowledge, I have a good relationship with Seiren as I’ve been charming her just like with Meiru.
Of course, I liked Meiru too, but thinking about how quickly things went south, it’s hard to say how it would end up in reality compared to the game.
In the game, once you raise someone’s affection, it doesn’t drop.
– Seiren Pulsreino… Did this woman truly defeat Cronia’s Golem? She doesn’t seem to have that level of magical power.
Lilith examines Seiren from head to toe.
Of course.
The reason Seiren possesses overwhelming strength isn’t that she is inherently powerful, but it’s due to her Gift, “Dumping,” which allows her to summon her future power.
Her inherent strength is hardly enough to beat Cronia’s Golem.
By the way, even with her face this close, Lilith is really not visible, which makes it seem like she is only showing herself to me.
“Anyway, I’ll hear what the Chancellor has to say about what happened. Did you get treated?”
“No, I’m telling you, I’m perfectly fine!”
“Still, go get checked out. It was a terrorist attack. You don’t know what you might’ve faced. Get treated and head back to the dormitory. I’ll come by later.”
So she’s planning on coming to the dorm?
I need to talk with Lilith and meet Dia and Cronia too.
“No, sis. I’m an adult now.”
“Tsk! Adult? You’re still a kid!”
Whatever.
How can anyone overcome Seiren’s stubbornness?
The future me will handle it.
“Fine, I’ll go.”
“Okay. Luke, I’m saying this because I’m worried about you. Got it?”
“Yeah.”
“Anyway, I’m here as part of the royal knights dispatched due to the incident today, to meet the Chancellor. Ugh! If I keep talking, I’ll be late. I’m heading out! Make sure you get treated!”
With that, Seiren left.
Sis… You’re not even a real knight, yet you’re working so hard just for the process of becoming a head of a family?
– Ha. Me, not being able to say even a word to her…
First off, this girl.
She can’t be seen by anyone and can only cause a fuss like this?
Wait.
A sealed evil god.
I sealed her so that Lilith, who knows my identity, can’t inform other evil gods, thereby weakening the powers of ‘Chaos’…
If I play my cards right…
*
In the exalted realm of the supreme gods.
The highest place.
A sanctum filled with divinity.
– Mom. This situation was dangerous.
– Didn’t it resolve well?
– If things had gone a little worse, Luke could have been in danger!
– I know.
– You obviously know! You’re the omnipotent ‘Mother’! But Luke is not omnipotent like you!
– Hehe.
Deus smiled at Ignis, who was angry with him.
– Holy Spirit Ignis. The purest and cleanest flame in this world. My daughter, who will purify all evil.
– …Yes, Mom.
– Do you know why I made you avoid confrontation with Cronia and pretended to be attacked by ‘Chaos’ to flee?
– … No. I don’t want to know. If it wasn’t for that, I’d have purified Cronia and Lilith too.
– That’s right. If you used your powers, you could have defeated Cronia, who was consumed by ‘Chaos,’ and Lilith who was empowered by her. But that cannot happen.
– …So, why can’t it?
– Everything is for ‘Luke.’ Someday, Luke will surpass both you and me, defeating all ‘Chaos’ and ‘Confusion’ and bringing salvation to this world. And for that day, Luke needs to grow even stronger.
– …So, you’re saying that if I stepped in, Luke wouldn’t gain strength from the experience, which is why you made me step back?
– Exactly.
– No! …But! What if Luke!
“I promised to always be there to support him. But if I just hide in the background like this!”
– Don’t worry about that.
– Huh?
– Luke will always overcome all adversities and hardships. And he will establish a heavenly throne for himself.
And I’m involved in every part of it.
Nothing will go wrong.
The pink child, who will announce Luke’s glory, has also been brought into the world of Cronia to learn about Luke’s majesty.
Deus’s eyes flashed with a manic light.
It won’t be long now.
To defeat all evil.
To erase all suffering.
The king of all.
The savior.
My son.
My love.
The day we become one.
