Interlude 6: The Beginning of the End of the World Phase
"...Huh? This time, did you finally show your tail?"
From somewhere beyond recognition, a charming laughter sounded.
The reason why it is said that it cannot be recognized is because 'here', the concept of relativity has lost its meaning.
‘It’ is there, but nowhere.
It cannot be grasped, nor can it be escaped.
If we insist on finding a relevant word to bring it into a category that humans can understand, "vast dark space" would be enough to describe it.
Of course, these are not the key points to understand.
The key is.
In this twisted "phase" shrouded in darkness, there are several "figures" that can easily cause the "world" to shake.
"Othinus" is ultimately incomplete.
She could only exert "50%" of her power unsteadily, and she had never been able to notice what was beneath the surface.
The true number of so-called "Demon Gods" has never been just her.
The gods who are equal to her have already focused their attention on the "world".
Now, it is the same.
"What are you talking about, 'Nephthys'."
One of the old voices was the first to respond to the dissonant sound that just broke the calm.
He very naturally used the names of gods that appeared in Egyptian mythology to describe the owner of the previous laughter.
"Oh, it's only been so long, old man, you must have forgotten it, right?"
The patron saint of the dead named ‘Nephthys’ reminded.
"Didn't we discuss it together more than ten years ago?"
To be specific, it should be fifteen years ago.
There was a guy who used some unknown means to hide his traces from all the demon gods.
"That's right...this little guy named 'Astraea' is the 'accident' we couldn't find back then~"
"'Empress', it turns out you are here too."
As if she had discovered an acquaintance, Nephthys greeted a certain corpse-slayer who had intervened in the conversation.
"I've always been here~ It's not just me, everyone is here. If you're lucky, you can see us soon~"
I say this because the distance between 'here' can be infinitely extended even if it is only the distance between pieces of paper.
The fairy girl laughed happily and dropped the topic.
"But~ Judging from the performance just now, I think the little 'Othinus', who even 'Senzheng' doesn't approve of, is closer to us than her~"
The empress said with some regret.
In other words.
"They couldn't even discover our existence. They are not worthy of the title of 'Demon God'."
The old voice made the initial assertion.
"You can't say that, 'Seng Zheng', forget about Othinus, another child has set foot in our field in such a short time, shouldn't we look at him differently?"
"Haha~'Proserpina', isn't it enough to have the little 'Chimera'? Even if the culture is the same, the little 'Astraea' may not be as you wish~"
"Just discussing the matter."
Regardless of what the new Queen of the Underworld planned, in a short period of time, more and more demon gods gathered here.
When it comes to their "plan", naturally no god would choose to stay out of it at this time.
"Okay, having said all that, haven't you noticed that 'she' is a bit similar to a certain 'thing' created by that 'human'?"
"…………"
Nephthys' words caused other voices to temporarily stop.
It's just that it's not out of collective concern, but rather the time it takes to verify the guesses.
"...Indeed, no matter in terms of origin or structure, this 'unplanned' demon has similarities with that treasure that humans are addicted to."
Seng Zheng's hoarse voice sounded again.
"However, this also just illustrates the 'contradiction' between the two."
after all.
That human being.
The demons are clear about Aleister Crowley's purpose.
so.
"That extreme and persistent man will not allow the trump card he prepared to get out of control and become the target of destruction. The idea of using the devil to destroy the devil will cause too many variables."
That is to say.
"Little 'Astraea' is an 'accident' that is not part of the 'plan' for that human being~ Hufufu~ I'm really looking forward to his current expression~"
"After all, unlike us, little 'Othinus' and little 'Astraea' are both demon gods who can wreak havoc on this chessboard in this world~"
There was a hint of envy in the empress's laughter as she watched the show.
"So, should we take action in advance?"
asked a voice in the darkness.
When it comes to conflicts and handling between demon gods, only when they, who are also demon gods, come to an end can the situation continue to develop in the right direction.
"That's also a problem."
Nephthys' voice sounded helpless.
"The 'world' is too fragile for us, and the research on 'zombie' has not yet completed the theory that can allow us to base ourselves on the present world."
"And at this time, the boy who is hosting our expectations has not grown up at all. I don't think he can meet our needs now."
Either way it's too early.
but.
"It's not okay to continue to let it go."
The old voice affirmed.
"One 'Othinus' may still be within the allowable range of the 'world', but if there is one more, we can't say for sure."
"Besides, what Nephthys just mentioned is also very concerning. We all know that 'intellectual life forms' outside the 'world' exist. The easiest way to understand them is 'angels' and 'demons' '."
Having said this, Seng Zheng paused as if to attract the attention of others.
"But that's just 'this level'. I have lived for so long, and I have never heard of anyone who can reach the realm of gods. This is out of their essence."
really.
This is the point.
When an 'accident' becomes a 'potential threat', even the gods must take corresponding actions.
"What are you going to do?"
A voice asked.
Regarding this.
The Buddha was probably chuckling, and then he said to all the demons.
"As of now, I don't plan to worry about whether they are 'qualified' anymore."
"Since we can't intervene in the "real world" at will now, let's find an opportunity."
"Draw them all into the 'hidden world'."
It's also time to show the immature juniors the true value of the Demon God.
Especially "Astraea" who is full of uniqueness.
After exploring the end of the universe, we found all the phases.
A possibility that "Gremlin", who has already stood at the top, failed to discover.
