A few moments before arriving in the Shogusha Kingdom…
With a crispy burned body trying to run away and an exhausted goddess, Shino's divine punishment has ended and the goddess sat back down
"Pervert, to think you would barge in and saw my naked body, Shino you idiot!" goddess said
Shino got up and sat back down with the burn still healing and said, "Oi, you were a man a moment ago, don't go acting like you're a girl this whole time"
"Like I said, my appearance depends on the soul looking at me, so it's your fault that you changed your perspective on me into a woman" God argue
"What can I do? After the tragic event on my life I became a damn otaku until I finished studying, I have long forgotten my otaku side until you bring it up again, so why am I being punished? Isn't it your fault for awakening my concealed side?" Shino replied
God ignored Shino and said, "Hmp!"
Shino got irritated and said, "Don't 'hmp' me you old bastard on a waifu's body"
"Huh?! What did you just call me? Want me to erase your soul" god said
"Bring it Old man, I don't believe on you 'gods' anyways" Shino said as he pull his sword
God and Shino fought like a cat and dog and there is no one to stop them, the fight goes on for hours on end until the two of them got tired
As the two huff and lay on the floor god then said, "Not bad for someone who acquired a god killing sword"
"Eh? What the heck are you talking about? That sword is given to me by my summoned spirit, beside if this is a god killing sword why I haven't killed you yet" Shino replied
"A weapon is created to kill two people, the wielders and its creator, it just happen that the one who forged that weapon is someone I know" god replied
Shino get up and said, "So you're saying there is another gods?"
"They are not gods, but they are not living being either, they just simply exist" God replied as she get up
"Do explain, if they are not gods nor living being what are they? Also 'They'? That just means there is more than one" Shino asked as he crawled back to the table
"They are the by-product of the four building blocks I used to make this universe. I'll lend you a secret, after all when you came to the world I sent you the thirst for knowledge in you just became stronger." God said as she sat back down in front of Shino
"You see to create the universe you are living in and the parallel ones I needed 4 things and they are Space, Time, Nature, and Chaos, As I successfully this four building blocks I poured my magic to all building blocks and merge them, and then it happen, the big bang, or so your kind call it. I was delighted that my planned work and I created multiple universes but as happy as I was all I did was made spaces with dust all floating everywhere but then I saw them, four bright glowing light, at first I thought it was just some by-product of the building blocks I used but then I sense something inside the light, for millennia I was alone walking in the pitch dark but this four glowing light lifted something that I never thought I have… loneliness"
"So they are your child" Shino said as he sip his coffee
"No! I haven't fallen to anyone nor done those indecent things to anyone, there is no way I would bear a child" god said as she slowly became quite in embarrassment
"Oi! Your god, are you forgetting that you created us" Shino said in a serious face
As god pout Shino just sighed and said, "Fine they are not your child, continue…"
"As they are created accidentally I have no idea what to do, and so I have no choice but to raise them as if they are my own child…"
"Make up your mind grandma… are they your child or not" Shino said with a straight face
"Who are you calling grandma? Want to go again?!" god said angrily
"Whatever, just continue" Shino said as he deny gods challenge
God pout, gave up, and said, "*Ehem* So I raised them properly and they turned into beings highly different from me, unlike me they can choose their form freely, each of them also represent the 4 building block I used and they created things I never thought to create, Space created all the planets and stars in the universe, Time created the flow of time, Nature created life and death, while chaos created disorder, chaos is also the one who made that sword you are carrying, it is based on the limitation I have on beings Nature created, I can't harm people who has no evil intention and punish those who has it"
"So that's why we can't kill each other earlier, why did you called it a god killer weapon then?" Shino asked
"Because Chaos created that weapon with the intent to kill us all in case we are overtaken by our own madness, the materials used for that weapon include the toughest creature nature created and a cup of blood from me, then it was forge using the hottest star Space created, Chaos poured her own mana as she shape it, and as it was finished Time carved a magic circle to it so it can withstand the flow of time, as you can see all of us agreed to die when one of us divert from our duties to govern what we created" God replied
"Then me wielding this… does that mean the demon king is one of your child?" Shino asked
God was confused and said, "Ah that guy, nah… he is one of Nature's creation who desire god hood and tried everything until he just collapsed in his own sanity, you having the sword doesn't mean me or my children has forsaken their duties, there is many human who wield that sword before you after all so no need to think you're a god killer or something"
"Tsk! Damn it" Shino said
"Oi, how dare you click your tongue on me, how much do you want to kill me?" God replied
"Anyway, based on your story they are gods by human definition, they created the place we live in, gave us life, time, and imperfection, why won't you acknowledge them as gods when they clearly did the same thing you did" Shino asked
"Where do you think your emotion came from, the pain when you accidentally stub your toe, or the concept of a being dying?" God asked
Shino just looked at god in silence and god added, "I'm a being with no concept of time, emotion, or even life itself, that's why the only thing I can do was create spaces and floating dust, they are different, they have this concept the day they are created, if nothing else they are the reason why I am me today, they are not like you because they are the one who created you, they are not me either because they have something I was lacking millennia ago, that's why they are neither gods or a living beings"
"I see… I guess that's enough for this meeting, you know why I'm here on the first place right? Can you tell me how to get back?" Shino asked
"Right… You are getting summoned to help the Shogusha Kingdom, the nearest kingdom on the Demon King's territory, the reason you are here was probably because they don't have enough mana to use the skill I gave them or you manage to crack the skill itself, I wonder which one?" God replied while looking at Shino
"Eek! Yeah, I know~ now tell me how to get back" Shino said
"The summon will continue, remember how the concept of time is slowed in here, you will be on the church where their cast the skill any time now" god replied
God pulled up a holographic screen and showed it to Shino saying, "See? The light is getting dimmer, it slow though"
"This is like you're watching them in super slow motion" Shino said
"How do you think I keep watch of the billions of people on different reality if it's in normal speed?" God asked
"You have a point there, so we just wait…" Shino said
"Well your body is becoming transparent right now so we don't need to wait long" God replied
Shino looked at himself and said, "Huh? Eh? Your right…I'm disappearing"
As Shino slowly getting pulled back to his world he remembers his previous life and asked, "With all the things you said right now, it made me think about my family, can I go back to my own world?"
God who is about to take a sip on her tea put it down and said, "Why go back? Your relatives already accepted your death, isn't this life of yours now is better?"
"Well… I guess nothing beats home, right?" Shino said with the faintest smile
God sighed and said, "The possibility for you to go back to your world is not impossible, if you want to go back I won't stop you, just remember that you on your world is already dead, going back there will just make things difficult. My Children's currently reside in the universe you currently are in, they currently take a form of a woman, Time and Space are the one who can help you cross dimension, find them if you want to go back, that is all I'm going to say"
"Huh… thanks about the info" Shino said
"I don't know if this is the emotion Nature gave me but… I do miss them too… my Children that is" God said with a smile
As Shino disappear and sent back to earth, he then said, "I'll make sure to relay it to them… To visit you when they are free"
