Giant Old Man (POV)
It's been 15,000,000 years since I was sealed here and it's also 15,000,000 years since I've seen a living being.
Hm? I heard a voice... It's faint... I can't recognize who is the owner of the voice.
"Human huh..." I muttered
Seeing them grouping together.
The girl with high mana has a pale face.
The girl with a rabbit ear took a fighting stance.
A fat boy with glasses that panicking.
But there is one different.
A boy that I can't feel an ounce of mana.
But despite the situation his... Calm.
"…Let me thank you. The seal has been undone thanks to you guys."
Looks like the one who undoes my seal is the boy with glasses.
My divinity is slowly coming back so I'm like a demi-god for now... So I spoke...
"…I was defeated in the war and was cast a petrification seal… That seal may have weakened after a long passing of time, but it wasn't something I could undo on my own. I needed someone to be aware of me."
The one who spoke is the young man with no mana.
"Huh…there's things like that too, huh... Anyone would appraise that giant crystal. It can't be helped." (Makoto)
Hmm... Correcting him.
"…Your average eye cannot break through my seal… Unless you have the God Eyes that can see through even the disguise of Gods."
"God Eyes…" (Makoto)
"My Appraisal isn't god level, you know…" (Fujiwara)
"…I don't know… But the seal was undone… That's what matters."
Yeah thanks to them I'm free now... And it's been 15,000,000 years since I ate...
"I'm hungry now.." I unconsciously muttered.
Hmm? Why they are in a hurry?
They teleport to one of the places here... It's not like, it's far from me.
"Where are you going?" I just want to thank you for unsealing me and giving you something that I have...
A rabbit girl is heading to attack me...
"Wait" Can you let me speak first... I intend to push her with my finger...
*Bam
It looks like, it's too strong for a mortal huh...
Hmm... Mana is covering me is this fire magic? I couldn't tell...
It's not really affecting me...
So I'm waiting for it to finish.
But to my surprise, a boy with no mana is using a...
"Spirit magic huh..." It's been a long time since I see a mortal using spirit magic.
I feel a bit happy after seeing one
So I head to them slowly...
Mist...? and his presence becomes a bit thinner.
He became blurry but I can still, see him...
"...What are you doing?" I muttered while my hand is going to grab him.
I just want to clear up the misunderstanding and thank them, and give them a gift for freeing me.
Hmm? One of my fingers is cut off!? no mortal can do that!!!
"What did you do!?" But seeing it closely he has a dagger...
A dagger that does not belong to the mortal realm...
How can he possess that!?
"...You..."
I grab him...
"...Where did you get... that dagger? That's something that's beyond the hand of mortals..."
I held him... And bought him close to my face...
If this mortal will not answer me, I will...
"Wait.!!!"
Hmm? A voice resonates in this place...
Wait...
That voice is... familiar.
"... This voice is... Noah-Ojousama?"
"S-Stop it. That boy is my believer." (Noah)
"…Oh…is that so… I am sorry."
So... That is why Huh...
I let him go...
"Ouch ouch." (Makoto)
Looks like it's too high for him.
"Goddess-sama." (Makoto)
"Fufu! Be grateful, Makoto. Aren't you glad you are my believer?" (Noah)
"Uhm, what's going on?" (Makoto)
"…We Titans serve the Titan Gods. If you are the believer of Noah-ojousama, you are as good as family."
"…I-Is that so. Goddess-sama, thank you very much." (Makoto)
This boy is really a believer of Noah-ojousama...
"You are a scaredy-cat huh, Makoto. Titans only eat things that grow from the ground. There's no way they would eat humans." (Noah)
"Eh? Really?" (Makoto)
"…Yeah…I don't eat meat."
This is something I want to clarify to them...
"But why did you send Nina-san flying?" (Makoto)
"…She suddenly attacked me, so I was surprised… I intended to push her lightly there though."
"Aah, Makoto, old man, it looks like my time is over. I will leave the rest to you." (Noah)
It looks like Noah-ojousama cannot prolong to keep her voice in the mortal realm.
If she does... The Holy God will notice.
Hmm? My divinity is coming back...
I heard a commotion from the believer of Noah-ojousama.
"What, so this one here is a comrade of the Goddess you believe in, Takki-dono?" (Fujiwara)
"Wait, Makoto. I didn't hear anything about this. The fact that you were the believer of an Evil God!" (Lucy)
"L-Lucy-sama? Speaking like that when in front of…" (Nina)
Hm? I don't really mind it's a little price for us losing the war.
"…We Titans are the protectors of the Titan Gods… But our Lords lost the war, and so, the Giant Gods that are composed of us challenged the God Realm to help them."
"Gigantomachia, huh." (Nina)
"I see, because you fought the Holy Gods, you were labeled as evil." (Fujiwara)
Reading the mind of the believer of Noah-ojousama.
"…I was sealed around 15,000,000 years ago."
"Right, you said you were hungry? Fuji-yan, do you have things like bread or fruits?" (Makoto)
"Y-Yeah, I do." (Fujiwara)
"…Ooh, so nostalgic… To think I would be able to eat the blessings of the earth once more."
Finished eating the bread, fruits, and wine.
"…Gotta give you my thanks."
I look at them...
"…Girl of the beast people…sorry for before."
"N-No, I was the one who attacked first anyways!" (Nina)
Hmm... She's a good girl
"…I will give you the divine protection of the Earth Giant God."
"Ooh, I feel like the power is welling up in me." (Nina)
"Let's see…here!" (Nina)
The rabbit girl lightly kicked a boulder nearby.
In an instant, it changed into a giant boulder and it flew ahead ramming down the trees around.
"Uwaa, amazing." (Lucy)
"How did you do that, Nina-dono?" (Fujiwara)
"N-No, I was just trying to test this out a bit, but this is truly amazing." (Nina)
Seeing the rabbit girl being happy of little blessing.
I direct my gaze to the person who gives me the food.
"…Next would be you who offered me food, huh."
"If it's about that, Giant God-sama! Can you please give me that cut finger?" (Fujiwara)
"…If you are fine with something like that, go ahead."
"I am grateful-desu zo!" (Fujiwara)
Seeing satisfied... I look for the next one.
"…Next is that elf girl, huh."
"…Y-Yes." (Lucy)
She's grabbing the hand of the believer of Noah-ojousama.
"…It seems you can't control your own magic."
"Y-You can tell?" (Lucy)
"…By looking at that storm-like mana, yeah."
It's really messed up.
"…Lend me your staff."
"This?" (Lucy)
She give me her staff and I pulled a one piece of my hair and wrap it around to the staff.
"…Have it back… With this, you will have an easier time using earth magic."
"I-I see." (Lucy)
Looks like she will test her power.
"[Earth Magic: Earth Bullet]." (Lucy)
Looking at her... It looks like she can't control the magic.
Seeing her satisfied... With the gift, I give to her.
"…Now, that's all."
"Eh?" (Makoto)
The believer of Noah-ojousama looks at me.
"Wait! Makoto was the one who had it the roughest!" (Lucy)
the red hair girl said.
So I explained it to them.
"…You got divine protection from Noah-ojousama and even got a sacred treasure from her, and yet you still wish for more? …Excessive greed will destroy you…"
Reading his thought... Hmm... Certainly his really weak so...
"…When you need help, call me through Noah-ojousama. I will help you out only once."
Saying this it looks like his satisfied with it.
Hm? it's that a fate thread?
"Can you save Noah-sama from the Deep Sea Temple?" (Makoto)
Hearing his request, even though I want to...
"…I can't… In order for Noah-ojousama to regain her power, there's the need for a believer to arrive at the Deep Sea Temple… Even if I were to save her, her power won't return."
I laughed... Normally people will wish for something for themselves but the believer of Noah-ojousama is different.
"…Using your wish for your Lord rather than yourself is good dedication."
I can't help but praise him.
Instead of that, I will just give him a little advice.
"…I will give you one piece of advice."
"Advice?" (Makoto)
"…The Spirit Language of yours, that's the language of Gods. Stop it."
Looks like he can't comprehend it.
"…Spirit Language has meaning when Titans use it. If you want to use the Spirit's powers in a mortal body, you have to see the Spirits, converse with them, and get close to them."
"I can't see them though." (Makoto)
He can use a spirit magic... But he can't see them?
"…Look."
I touch his head.
"Eh?" (Makoto)
I'm sure right now, he will see the variety of spirits.
"…Did you see?"
Looks like he sees them.
"…People that don't have the talent can't see them… It seems you are liked by the Spirits."
"…Spirit Language is an order from the Titans… Spirits don't like being ordered."
"…Look at the Spirits, talk with them, and get close to them."
"…Devote yourself."
"Thank you very much." (Makoto)
Seeing him take my advice...
"…Now then, farewell."
Parting with the mortals, I move within the earth's veins.
It is the freedom I got after 15,000,000 years.
It feels good.
I come out slowly from the ground.
This is somewhere west of the continent.
Endless lush forests spread out.
But…
"…I don't like it."
The Spirits were acting as if they were hiding themselves and don't have energy.
This would be unthinkable in the times when we Titans strided on the surface.
Instead, I feel the presence of those guys looking down from the heavens.
I did hear about this from the Spirits, but the current mortal plane has changed.
(How truly annoying.) (Noah)
"…Noah-ojousama."
The youngest child of the Titan Gods that we serve.
The other Titan Gods have been confined by them and the only one pitifully left in the mortal plane is her.
(Can you please not call me pitiful?) (Noah)
Oh, sorry for the rudeness.
"…This time around, I managed to awaken from a long seal… But it was really convenient that someone with the eye to see through the God's seal appeared."
It shouldn't be something a normal human can see through.
That place was also under a spell that made it hard to find.
(There's no way something so convenient exists. I was the one who called him. I gave that merchant-kun Divine Power temporarily through my dagger. The effect is already gone though.) (Noah)
Ooh, is that so.
But I don't think he is your believer though, Noah-sama.
Was it the believer Makoto?
Wouldn't that boy suffice?
(It wouldn't. He doesn't have any decent skills.) (Noah)
You really say some harsh things.
Isn't he your only believer?
He was set on saving you, Noah-sama.
(Right. But did you see that boy's mana? He runs out of mana after 1-2 elementary grade spells, you know? I gave him the Spirit User skill, but it doesn't seem like he can master it at all.) (Noah)
(Moreover, that boy is weak, and yet, he charges right into strong enemies, you know?! I can't stand watching that!) (Noah)
She is mad.
It is rare for Noah-ojousama to complain about the actions of a believer.
Titan Gods are Gods that love freedom.
The Gods themselves, and their believers too.
The current rulers of the God Realm seem to love supervising things, they are forcing their believers to pray, is what I have heard.
I hope Noah-sama hasn't been affected negatively by their practices.
(I have not been influenced by them.) (Noah)
I wonder.
I can't say I condone pushing a pure boy like that.
I heard that 1,000 years ago, you used a believer of yours and brought chaos to the world, Noah-ojousama.
It didn't go well though.
(…I am surprised you know that.) (Noah)
I may have been under the petrification seal, but I was listening to the Spirits regarding the movements of the world after all.
It seems like the only Titan God, Noah-sama, has been doing her best.
It hasn't shown much results though.
(I failed 1,000 years ago. But I will be careful this time around. I will have the Olympus shits cry and beg.) (Noah)
I can see the dark shadow of vengeance in that voice of yours.
To think you could bring out such a voice filled with hatred.
That cute Noah-ojousama seems to have been warped.
(Hmph, I am cute even now.) (Noah)
Must be, must be.
Noah-ojousama was believed to be the number one beauty within the Titan Gods.
Seeing that appearance of yours, mortals, animals, and even demons would be charmed by you.
At the time when that boy was going to become your believer, he must have seen your appearance and couldn't maintain his sanity.
He has probably been charmed to the point that he can only think about you, Noah-ojousama. (AN: If you only know Giant old man)
(…Right.) (Noah)
"…What's the matter, Noah-ojousama?"
(It's nothing. By the way, what will you be doing now, old man?) (Noah)
I plan on going around the world searching for our sealed comrades.
(Yeah, that sounds good. Even if we were to wage war on the Olympus, we need numbers!) (Noah)
So you really haven't given up yet.
But right now you can only move a single believer.
It seems you can affect the people that touch that dagger for a brief period of time, but you probably can't do much with that.
Speaking of which, you were the one who told me to make the comrades of the boy stronger, Noah-ojousama.
I got that order from you the moment the seal was undone. (AN: Honestly. I didn't expect this... So I need to write that he can't recognize the voice of Noah... Well I think he didn't really recognize the voice of Noah, my conclusion is when Noah stops him.)
(That's right, you did well, old man. That boy goes wild on his own and gets in near death situations, so if I don't make his comrades stronger, it would be dangerous.) (Noah)
Honestly speaking, I don't understand what that was for.
You didn't give any orders to that important believer, right?
It seems like he is at least aiming for the Deep Sea Temple you are in.
Though, I don't think he would be able to reach there…
(It is okay. I have my own plans. Fufufu!) (Noah)
Well, you seem to have some deliberate forethought.
I will simply obey.
"…Farewell, Noah-ojousama."
(Move carefully. Don't let them notice you.) (Noah)
After saying this, I couldn't hear the voice of Noah-ojousama anymore.
Now then, let's go search for our comrades.
