Over the years, Zwei, who had acquired solid skills under the guidance of Kuromueina, was able to resist Isis’ magic power of death to some extent, and apologized to Isis for their first meeting, to which Isis told her “Don’t worry about it” with a gentle smile and their relationship was restored.
Although the thorns that remained in their hearts hadn’t disappeared, it is safe to say that a certain conclusion had been reached. One day, Kuromueina gathered her family together and broached about “that” topic.
[I think it’s time I told you about this. About the God Realm…… About the Creator God of this world…… Shallow Vernal.]
[Ahh~~ What was it again? You talking about that fairy tale, right? That a God named Shallow Vernal created the world……. However, if you’re going out of your way to talk about this, I guess that’s true?]
[Unnn. And I’m going to pick a fight with Shallow Vernal sooner or later. No, it’s not that I’m trying to be a God or anything, I just want to punch her because she pisses me off.]After saying this, Kuromueina began to talk about the God Realm and the Gods residing in it. They didn’t know why Kuromueina would know such a thing, but they didn’t find it strange for Kuromueina, who could be said to be the oldest Demon, having lived in the Demon Realm for a long time, to know the truth that is not generally known.
And after her explanation, Kuromueina asked her family to cooperate with her to fight against Shallow Vernal when she would eventually challenge the God Realm, and they gladly agreed.
“Low-ranking Gods, High-ranking Gods…… and then, Supreme Gods huh. They would be troublesome. There’s that authority that is unconditionally superior to magic but……”
[……Fighting the Supreme Gods…… even for us…… unless we have good match-ups against them…… I think it would be difficult.]
[From what I hear, I should be in charge of that God of Space and Time. According to Kuromu-sama, my ability is something close to authority, and if anyone can compete with the Authority of Time, it would be me.]
Magnawell and Isis muttered, and Ein also considered this matter with a serious expression on her face. After hearing about Kuromueina’s story, she understood that those High-ranking Gods and Supreme Gods would be very troublesome opponents.
The Supreme Gods, in particular, would likely be stronger than their group at the moment, making them have the assumption that only by attacking them by surprise and fighting them in match-ups advantageous for them would they finally be able to fight on equal footing.[If God of Life’s authority is related to life, then Isis would definitely be a good match against her. I also wanna fight myself a Supreme God…… but that matter would be for Kuromueina’s objective, so I guess I can only hold myself back.]
[I see Master knows prudence…… I’d also like to participate too, but I can’t leave Zwei-chan alone here, and someone has to be house-sitting…… Ah~~ In that case, the one with the lowest ability had to be me huh…… What a shame.]
In fact, Zwei is not strong enough to join that battle in the God Realm, and in the current situation, she would only be a hindrance. On the other hand, if she were to be left alone in the Demon Realm, there might be people who would take advantage of the opening of their absence, so it was necessary for Ozma to remain behind as her guard.
While the talk was coming together to some extent, Lilywood thought about it with a serious expression on her face and mentioned the biggest problem they would have on hand.
“……However…… What about the God of Fate? From what I’ve heard, it doesn’t sound like anyone of us can counter her other than Kuromueina……”
[Unnn. I’m having trouble with that too. Her Authority of Fate is really too powerful that compatibility isn’t an issue for her. If I defeat her though, she will end up exhausting me a bit before fighting Shallow Vernal…… I’ll hold off on this matter, at least until I can find a way to deal with the God of Fate.]
Yes, at the moment, the Supreme Gods are superior to Isis and the others in terms of ability, and if they don’t have a favorable match-up against them, they wouldn’t even be able to establish a proper battle.
Ein, who has the same Authority of Time as the God of Time and Space, and can nullify the God of Time and Space’s Time Manipulation with her authority. Isis, who has quite the particular efficacy on life through her magic power of death…… These two must be assigned to the God of Time and Space and the God of Life respectively.
In order to face the large numbers of High-ranking Gods and Low-ranking Gods, the three-person formation of Magnawell, whose stature makes him good with wide-range attacks, Megiddo, who is well-balanced and capable of all kinds of combat, and Lillywood, who can supply magic power to others while also using her inexhaustible magic power to heal those around her…… In that case, the one inevitably standing in their way would be the strongest God, God of Fate.
The Authority of Fate has too wide of a range of applications, making it impossible for them to gain an advantage in terms of compatibility, and there aren’t enough pieces to deal with the Authority that manipulates what can be said as the logic of the world itself, so they have come to the conclusion that it’s not feasible to implement the plan under the current circumstances.
The objective that Kuromueina spoke of, the progress of the Demon Realm. It was only a thousand years after they had this conversation that it came true…… when the being who can be said to be the final piece came to this world.
And at the same time, it was that being…… Shalltear’s arrival that greatly changed the environment in the Demon Realm and Kuromueina’s group, and at the same time, drastically changed Isis’ circumstances.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [Ahh, I see, from the perspective of the family members at that time, there were just no countermeasures against Fate……]
? ? ? : [Fate-san’s Authority has a range that covers the entire world and is seriously a cheat that can interfere with all fate. Unless you take countermeasures that aren’t bound by the rules, such as what I…… Alice-chan did, changing her fate in their battle, or you have the same authority as her, it would be impossible to fight against her.]
