"Is this the center?"
We used the menu's map function to proceed for a while, but even so, it took us a while to reach the center of the facility. This is just like the innermost room of the Prison Tower of Wailing.
Is the room as big as the school gymnasium? It's fairly spacious, but it feels cramped because there are quite a few machines on the tower whose purpose I don't understand, and there's something like a large glass cylinder sitting in the center.
Elmina-san and Rifana-san don't leave my side much and look around the room with great interest.
"Taishi-kun?"
"I think there's probably a pseudo-god in that central device."
It looks like a glass cylinder, but it's probably the same device that was in the Wailing Tower. What looks like a cylinder of glass is actually a liquid that holds its shape like a cylinder. I don't know how the liquid keeps its shape like that, but if you touch it, your hand should sink into it with almost no resistance.
"There is no doubt, I can feel the reaction of the pseudo-god from within. It's already coming."
A dazzling light flashed in the room for a moment, and the useless god appeared. Drop a single fistbone on its head with haste.
"What!?"
"For the time being, it's a thank you for earlier, you bastard."
"I'm not a bastard~, I'm a perfect beautiful girl, Real-chan~. Violence hunter~"
With teary eyes, Real quickly hides behind Elmina-san. How despicable to use Elmina-san as a shield.
"Rather than that, it's a pseudo-god. Take it in, hurry up."
"I don't want to stick my hand in there. Taishi should take it and hand it over."
"You..."
Even I don't want to take the pseudo-goddess out of a girl's body. But this cylinder? It's dark and I can't see inside.
"More importantly, make sure you can see inside.
"That's true, too. Umm."
When Real operated the panel right next to the cylinder, the darkness of the cylinder, which was pitch black and nothing could be seen, cleared and the contents became clear.
"Hey hey are you serious?"
"Wow, this is..."
What was inside the cylinder was a strange shape. The skin of the whole body is blue-black, horns grow on the head, and it is a strange shape with sharp claws like blades on the tips of its limbs. Its mouth is split wide, with sharp fangs peeking out. It has hard-looking bristles growing all over its body, and its muscles are so bloated that it doesn't look like a human at all.
Taken as a whole, it is definitely not human, but you can somehow understand that it was originally human. Frankly speaking, just looking at it makes me sick.
"Human, huh?"
"Looks like it. What should I do to make this happen?"
"This is that, it's definitely not a good god, but a pseudo-deity of an evil god! Good! Very good! Come on, pull it out quickly and please me!"
The bad god is very excited, but the other three including me are in the midst of rave reviews.
"Eh...? Are you going to take that in? Isn't it perfect?
"Don't say it's perfect!? I'm sure it's a venerable pseudo-deity of an evil god! Hmm, what is it in charge of? Darkness... No, more direct violence? Beast nature?"
"I don't think there is a good atmosphere at all.
"That's absolutely fine. A guy who can beat me as a deity was exhausted a long time ago and completely disappeared. Come on, hurry up!"
"Are you sure you're okay?"
Reach out to the cylinder while looking at the high-tension reality with suspicion. Seeing my hand sink into the cylinder, someone let out a short scream. It's probably a refana. For the time being, I decided to concentrate and continued to reach out to the strange shape inside the cylinder.
The pseudo-goddess is embedded in the center of her chest, above her heart, just like the girl who was imprisoned in the Prison Tower of Sorrow. Her color was black, dark, and red, like dried blood. It was at that moment that a hard sensation touched her fingertips.
"Wow!?"
"Taishi-kun!?"
"Taishi!?"
The moment I touched the pseudo-deity, the monster opened its eyes and reached out with its sharp claws to grab my right hand. If I were to shake hands with that kind of hand, my hand would definitely be torn to shreds.
"Oh no!?"
I managed to pull out my hand before it crushed my wrist, and I got it without incident. The black beast was rampaging inside the cylinder. His eyes glow bright red and he swings his claws over and over. However, not even a single hair, let alone a millimeter of the tip of a fingernail, could come out of the cylinder.
No matter how much he rages, no matter how much he screams, the cylinder seems to be designed so that the things inside will never come out.
"What are you doing, this. If you're acting like this, you can't get rid of the pseudo-godliness."
"Hmm, that's right. It's out of the question to put it out of the god-sealed container. It seems that the mutation of the body has progressed considerably, and it seems that only instincts remain, so it seems that authority will go out of control."
"It sounds kind of scary, oh"
I don't know what the authority of the god who controls beast nature is, but no matter how I think about it, it's unlikely that anything bad will happen on a day when that kind of thing goes out of control.
"What are you going to do?"
"Hmm, the god sealed container has the effect of regenerating the things inside as a countermeasure against self-determination."
"Ancient people who really aren't Egetsu"
"However, if the head is destroyed, I think there will be a certain amount of time lag until it regenerates."
"Then let's hit the head from the outside of the cylinder and hit the gap."
I take out the aurora sword from the storage and prepare it. Fortunately, the black beast's body is too large for the size of the cylinder, so the black beast cannot move satisfactorily. With my sword arm, I could easily pierce the head of a black beast.
"let's go"
While the three are watching, I hit the black beast with a stab like purple electricity. He pulls out his sword while twisting it to feel the response and increase the damage, and immediately reaches for the pseudo-deity in his chest.
The black beast showed a strong life force, but my action was quicker. It may be that level 5 fighting skill was added to the action of picking up pseudo-divines.
As a result, the monster inside the cylinder suddenly died out as the pseudo-god was extracted, and after dyeing the cylinder red for a moment, it disappeared without a trace. The way she disappeared was no different than the girl in the Prison Tower of Moaning.
"It's pathetic"
"That's right. He was trapped in a place like this for a mind bogglingly long period of time, and in the end he was brutally murdered. I can't help but feel your sympathy."
"But maybe it would have been better than being trapped here all the time. It's terrifying to just keep living in this darkness all alone."
"Maybe so."
I look at the red-black pseudo-deity that I pulled out. I don't know what kind of guy he was originally, but let's pray for his soul to rest in peace.
"Look, I got it."
"Yeah, thank you.
Saying that, Real received the pseudo-goddess handed to me and stared at it.
"Yeah, after all, this is not a good god, but a pseudo-deity of the type of an evil god. It's powerful... I guess it's an evil god that governs beast nature, violence, and anger."
"Is it really okay to take in such things?"
When Elmina-san worriedly asked Real about it, Real chuckled.
"I'm worried. I hope you're okay."
Saying that and laughing, Real gripped the pseudo-god.
"This is good. It fits in, it fits really well."
The reddish-black crystal in the hands of the real person crumbles down while giving off an ominous aura, and that aura-like thing disappears as it seeps into the real world. No matter how you look at it, it's an ominous spectacle that can only be seen as dangerous, but the person himself has a perfectly normal tension. I can feel the freshness in his expression.
"Looking at this scene, I feel like I can understand a little of what that man was saying."
"Well, it must be an ancient evil god."
"Are you sure you're okay?"
Elmina-san and Rifana are worried, but it will work out somehow. Or rather, even if it doesn't work, I have no one to rely on other than this guy.
"Hmm, fuu――haa..."
The real who has finished absorbing the pseudo-divine is making a sexy voice.
"Are you done? How are you?"
"Yeah, I can feel the pulsation of power close to the heyday. It seems that the pseudo-god that I took in this time was more compatible with me than I thought."
Saying that, Real smiled.
Oh, what is this guy, he's super cute, I want to push him down.
"Hmm? What happened?"
Real narrowed his eyes and showed an enchanting smile. She somehow feels like her head is dazed and her thoughts aren't working properly. She doesn't care about anything I just want to use what's in front of me to get pleasure. I want to spend forever devouring corruption.
Before I knew it, something was clinging to my body. They are beautiful women. What a thing, not only the woman in front of me, but also other exquisite pleasures roll in.
I'm lucky...
"Yes, it's over"
"Ha!? Hmm!?"
It seems like I was thinking of something outrageous just now. Wow, isn't this a completely nasty guy? When I was in Gaina, I was still on the verge of resisting, but now I can't resist at all.
"Oh, huh?"
"that?"
The two who were entwined around my leg also seemed to have returned to their senses. Damn, this guy spreads something that affects the mind like the Earth Mother Goddess Gaina.
"Poison radio waves... is this your power?"
"It's rude to call it a poison wave... Yes, this is my authority. How was the taste of depravity and pleasure? It was very, very sweet and hard to escape, right?"
"Eh, eh... the one just now is a bit amazing."
"Real-chan is also a god, isn't he?"
The two of them stand up and take some distance from me while fidgeting. Yeah, I know how you two feel. I still can't fit in a lot of things!
"Earth Mother Goddess Gaina also did something similar."
"That girl is always at full power, so she's really bad at saving."
That's not good because it won't improve no matter how much time passes, but it's not good.
Elmina-san and Rifana-san remembered what they were trying to do earlier, they both covered their faces with both hands and fainted in agony. My actions must have become embarrassing, that.
"You shouldn't worry about it, thinking it's like a stray dog biting your hand."
"It's rude to call a stray dog. It's God, God. I'm the only God in this world."
"Yes, yes, only God, only God. So, how long will it take to take in this time?"
"Nn, it's okay. I finished taking it in no time."
"It took about three days until now?"
"This is already the third time, isn't it? I've already prepared in advance. Besides, this time it wasn't a good god, but an evil god. It was a perfect match for me."
Saying that, he tried to make a bicep with his thin arm, but there was no power at all. Well, it would be troublesome to react even if I suddenly became a sulky like a certain end of the century champion.
"So, is this the end of the pseudo-god collection?"
"That's right, well, I guess this is about right. It's not too much, but it's not enough."
"Is there such a thing as appropriate?"
"Even gods have their share. If you want to regenerate the world again, you need a little more power, but if you just want to break through the current situation, this power is more than enough. When you gain power, it becomes difficult to hide."
Real smiled and waved lightly.
"Uh!?"
At that moment, we were teleported outside the ruins. There was no magic reaction at all, and my vision didn't even turn black, and I was returning to the camp point in front of the ruins in one action. It's not transfer magic, it's something else.
"This is just a piece of cake. Well then, let's go to Balgand's place after cultivating our energy."
"Valgand?"
"He's one of the gods. He's in charge of blacksmithing and craftsmanship, and he seems to like you. He looks like an old man with a big hammer."
"Is that the old fucking big mallet?"
He's a fucking old man who broke all the equipment I made with great care. Come to think of it, I think I said sorry for punching the Ebisu-faced old man.
"If I were to list the children who would be on your side, the first would be the blacksmith god Bargand, the sake god Melonel, and the wind god Zephyr. First of all, I would say these three. Dior, the god of war, might be able to go too, if you like it. It seems like
"I see, even if you just hear the name, I don't know at all."
"You're too uninterested in God, aren't you?"
Reality smiles wryly. Even if I say that, I can't help it because I'm not interested. God didn't exist in the original world in a visible form, and I didn't even feel that divine protection close to me. Rather, I only had the feeling that religion and gods were shady. Even if you say religion or God, it doesn't come with a pin.
On top of that, in the country I lived in, or rather in the time I lived in, when it comes to religion, there is only an image of a dubious new religion or something like terrorism or wars happening here and there. Of course, there must have been a lot of people who were pious, kind, and respectful, but when it came to "religious news" that people like me encountered on a daily basis, it was all fishy stories like that.
"Well, I respect God enough to rely on him when I'm in trouble."
"I think it's wrong in many ways."
"It's all about this, I can only say it's because the environment I lived in was like that."
It's not that I don't have respect for invisible supernatural beings.
I don't dislike the solemn atmosphere of religious facilities such as temples, churches, shrines and shrines. When I go to places like that, I feel refreshed, and sometimes I try to live my life without being embarrassed as a person.
"Aside from that, hey. Come back soon."
Elmina-san and Rifana, who were stunned by the embarrassing sudden transfer, woke up and started preparing for the camp. That said, I hadn't left my camp here, so I just did small things like picking up firewood, preparing the stove, and purifying my clothes and body.
We sat down on a table set made with earth magic, and decided to discuss the future with herbal tea in hand.
"So, what is it? Are you going to meet God? God, God, you know?"
"Could you stop looking like a police officer interrogating that shady charlatan?"
"Even if you say something like that, if you say that to your face, you won't be able to pin it."
"It didn't make any sense, but they actually met and fought with each other."
"That's right, but I don't really feel like a god. I just get the impression that these guys are a little out of the ordinary. Ah, but I wonder if Gaina, the Earth Mother Goddess, who descended into the temple, stunned me. "
That time was crazy. I couldn't think of anything because of the super-bubble energy emanating from the Earth Mother Goddess Gaina. That was against the rules.
"That girl is extremely strong against boys…but that's not true. First of all, it's Balgand.
"Hmm.
I got a little hungry, so I served canned biscuits and fruits. Rifana immediately reached for the canned fruit. Elmina-san also seems to be working on canned fruit. I'm a biscuit
"Of course, I've thought about that. God has an office-like space called the throne. It's a private room where other gods can't interfere so easily, or a place like their own domain."
"I see.
"That's right. Even if other gods can't interfere, it's like a door that doesn't lock for me. That's right, you can come in and out at any time."
"And you're saying, 'Don't go in without permission, hag!', I understand."
"She's not an old hag!
Even so, he's probably the oldest in the world, right? Well, it doesn't matter what your age is. Life expectancy, adult age, and even the value of life are different in this different world.
"Normally, in order to reach the throne of a god, you have to overcome such trials, such as a steep mountain, an area overrun by demonic beasts, a solitary island in the distant sea, and so on, right?"
Rifana tilts her head with a can of fruit in one hand.
"That kind of thing is for ordinary people. Taishi is my apostle, and above all, I will guide you, so you can skip that sort of thing."
Real waved his hand and sipped herbal tea.
"In the first place, it doesn't matter if you do or don't do that kind of trial. Any trial is like twisting a baby's hand with Taishi now."
"Well, if you say that what you just heard is a trial, you can afford it."
Even if it's a steep mountain, you can fly away with flying magic, and even if you don't, you can easily climb a 10,000-meter-class mountain if you put all your strength into it. The cold and the thinness of the air won't even bother you with the ghostly VIT correction.
For me, the monster realm is just a mass of experience points. It would be like feeling that the experience points are delicious after annihilating them with a huge explosion. Rather, if there is such a place, please guide me.
After all, it would be nice to fly to a solitary island in the distant sea. If you make full use of the map, you won't get lost, and you can secure food and water as much as you want with storage and transfer magic.
"I can afford it..."
"It seems like you suddenly became a distant existence."
"Please stop, that kind of thing hurts relatively seriously."
I also return a bitter smile to the two who are smiling bitterly.
"Yes, I'm sorry. No matter how strong Taishi is, he's just a naughty boy."
"That's right, I was a normal boy who was vulnerable to the temptation to mess with my mother-in-law."
Guys, I don't think it's a good idea to gouge your heart out in that direction.
"What about those two people?"
"Huh?
"Uh, yeah. Is it normal?"
The two of them were blatantly shaken by my words. He must have remembered the poisonous radio waves that Real had emitted earlier.
"Hoho... then, let's see if I'm the only one who's horny. Let's go, real."
"Good, let's do my duty for the first time in a while. I'm going to have a good time."
"Hi, hi"
"Oh, let's calm down. I don't think that's a good thing, do you?"
"No mercy. Do it."
"Oh look, sir. That's right, yun yun yun yun"
I'll leave it to your imagination what happened after this, but let me tell you one thing.
Please use poison radio waves correctly by observing the usage and dosage. Otherwise it's dangerous. I made a promise to you brother.
