Chereads / Lvl.1000 To Lvl.1 - Ascension of a God / Chapter 17 - [0] Prologue

Chapter 17 - [0] Prologue

---{ A month before Zero's arrival }---

Utopia is a world without a master, without a God. And sure, without it, it's bound to die.

[ Is there a way to save it? ]

[ Sure there is. ]

Two beings which stood above all else look for the thing that will save it.

And their answer is simple: a God needs to be assigned.

But how should they do it? Who will be assigned?

[ How about this: we choose the greatest warriors of a different world to compete for its title. ]

As one of them said - In a certain world, they searched for the strongest - and there, they've seen many.

[ Hmm... What is this...? There's a warrior who is called a God... But he is 'not' really... Should we include him? He is the strongest, after all... ]

[ Hmm... This one is particularly interesting... How was he able to gain his title? How is he the strongest? Is he a God of war or something? ]

[ No, he's just an ordinary person, he says it himself. ]

They watched his progress, the man named - Zero.

His odd demeanor interests them and the way he treats himself and the others baffles them.

[ What should we do? We don't even need to look for anyone else... He is the best fit to be the person assigned to this world. ]

[ Is he really that fitting...? ]

[ Fate and destiny, I'm sure you know where I peak. ]

[ I know... But I will not agree, we need to follow the rules... We will need to gather their strongest... ]

In assigning someone, there's a set of rules that needs to be followed.

[ Is that so...? Then, how many should it be? ]

[ 50? No... That'll be too many... We'll choose 30. That'll be enough. ]

[ Are you sure...? These 30... The strongest people in this world... Most are not fitting... ]

[ It's alright, if they are not, then they will not succeed. ]

[ Are you sure about this? I'm foreseeing something that will only cause this world a fate worst than its destruction. ]

[ Don't worry, if it gets out of hand, we'll just repeat the preparations. ]

[ Hmm... Can we really do that? ]

[ We can. ]

Silence took over as their opinions divide.

But of course, they need to continue.

[ How about this man? ]

The man named Zero.

[ What should we do with him? ]

[ We can't... We can't choose him, if we do, he's bound to win. ]

[ That'll be an exaggeration... ]

[ We just really can't. ]

[ ... ]

One cannot go against one's opinion and did not make his complains anymore. All that he can do was to follow since his rival is only following the rules, while what he wants doesn't.

[ This conclude our decision, we choose the strongest, but not him. The result will depend on its fate. ]

[ Hmm... Is that so...? I will forfeit... Then, I will just ask one more thing... Where's Zereal? Isn't he a friend of its previous ruler? Shouldn't we take his opinion on this as well? ]

[ Zereal is a misfit... You shouldn't look for him. And we shouldn't talk with him about this. ]

[ But... I can see him... Like me... Not in this plan... ]

[ What do you mean? ]

[ I can see him planning something... ]
