Experimental Log Of The Crazy Lich

Karwenz unhesitatingly released his enmity and greatly improved his power, apparently entering combat preparations.

"Roland, don"t hide anything now. Her backup physical body is still at a Main G.o.d"s level. Gaar"s combat strength will explosively increase even with only a small portion of Cynthia"s abilities and administrative privileges. Even if her physical body will collapse before long, holding back your aces at this time is tantamount to suicide."

I was indeed rather hesitant, but not because I was worried about how strong my current enemy was. I was hesitating how much of a risk I should take by holding back, which would give me the opportunity to witness Karwenz"s extreme limits of strength so that I could prepare for our likely eventual future clash.

But now, I was hesitating because I saw how explosively that demon egg was increasing its aura of power. I had finally managed to achieve a balanced situation after so much hard work, but if Cynthia"s backup physical body was overly strong, that definitely wouldn"t be a good thing.

Yet, I didn"t care too much about the threat that Cynthia"s demon egg posed, because I had already come up with an excellent way to defeat it, no matter how powerful it could be.

"Reality, explode! …Cough cough, Inferno, collapse!"

As my will commanded, the entire Gluttons" Inferno began to collapse, shatter, and transform into dust. Soon, that entire sub-dimension was cut off from h.e.l.l and treated by h.e.l.l as rejected clutter which was tossed into the void.

As for that gigantic demon egg which was still hatching inside the Inferno? Of course it was also tossed into the void.

As for what existed within the void, and whether or not Cynthia would be able to return? Since there were zero precedents, and it was completely unknown just how harsh the void"s environment was, I had no ideas whatsoever.

If this was any other Chaos Main G.o.d, such a dimensional explosion would not only fail to kill them, it would even open up weaknesses in h.e.l.l"s dimensional walls that would allow them to enter h.e.l.l"s deeper layers. But right now, Cynthia was nothing more than a meaty egg. How could an egg possibly grow wings and fly?

As for the Gluttons" Inferno that I would lose and Ah Dang"s death, that would be the same as the Mountain Inferno just now. I could simply reconstruct the Inferno and revive Ah Dang.

Hahaha, who said that one absolutely had to have a direct fight with a final boss? I possessed the Concept of s.p.a.ce itself within h.e.l.l yet Cynthia dared to start a transformation in front of me? Was she suicidal?

"There"s no absolute rule about how we have to kill her, but… You"re not letting me have a good fight?"

Karwenz had a complex expression that contained more helplessness than anything. He was just like a tearful warrior who had just finished a swearing ceremony to set out into battle but was then notified that the battle would be canceled due to rain.

And soon, black Hades Mist began repairing the dimension. We had all just heaved sighs of relief when a powerful sense of danger caused all of us to look towards the dimensional tear I just created.

"d.a.m.n it, the egg really grew wings and started flying!"

Right, the egg was really flying.

Just what type of monster was within the egg? Its hatching had been interrupted, so its organs and heart hadn"t finished evolving and were directly exposed outside its body. Half of its body was still in egg form, and the only visible part was one arm and two wings.

The void was attempting to devour everything, yet that egg mysteriously managed to spread its wings of light. One, two, ten, one hundred, and finally countless pairs of wings of light then covered the void.

The void was illuminated as Holy Light lit up everything. Holy song coiled around everything in the world. Even every corner of h.e.l.l was filled with that holy burial song from ancient epics.

A glow could be seen through the opening which lit up the Inferno. That light actually directly destroyed the souls within the Inferno. This was a pure light that was far purer than the Holy Light could ever be. The G.o.ddess of Chaos who created the Chaos Abyss and demons, the most ancient source of Chaos itself, was actually so holy and divine.

"What"s her power level? It"s over 9000! The scouter must be malfunctioning!"

Although I was just making this up, I was truly astonished. There was no need to measure her combat strength or energy level. Just seeing and feeling this alone was easy enough for anyone to tell the tremendous difference between one of the Creator G.o.ddesses and any Main G.o.d.

"The difference between a Creator G.o.ddess and one of her creations? It"s basically the difference between an adult human and an ant…"

Karwenz maintained an abnormal silence as he stared at the illumination. A fierce fire then ignited in his eyes, which wasn"t fear, anger, or any negative emotion at all. He was thirsting, desiring to one day surpa.s.s her. He was delighted, delighted that there was still so much before him, still so much room for him to improve and fly even higher.

"What an annoying hot-blooded main character type. The Creator G.o.ddess of Chaos is so powerful. It would seem that I have to modify my plans yet again. Just thinking about it is so bothersome."

And now, I sensed even more just how foundationally different Karwenz and I were. Perhaps this was the main difference between us, as whenever either of us were faced with a powerful enemy, he would simply engage them in direct battle, while I would try to think of methods to circ.u.mvent them or make them fall into a trap. And now that we met an enemy that was almost undefeatable, he joyously met this challenge head on and concentrated on becoming even stronger, while I tried my very best to use any possible grand scheme or strategy to win.

"It would seem that he"s the main character while I"m the antagonist villain… Still, that makes things easy for me…"

I understood Karwenz, and Karwenz understood me. Although we were now temporarily cooperating, he always desired to fight with me. This was an impulse stemming from the fact that we were originally the same soul. He desired to defeat me to prove his own worth, to prove that his path was stronger than mine, to prove that his portion of the soul was better than mine. I could already guess that the moment Cynthia was taken care of, he would immediately come to fight me right after.

But now that he saw a much higher mountain peak before him, with his personality, he probably wouldn"t come give me any trouble before he finished climbing to that peak.

"Still, this battle is unavoidable. Once everything here is taken care of, I can finally concentrate on leveling up my personal power level. Otherwise, it would be far too embarra.s.sing if Karwenz can casually slap me to death. Even if I can"t reach a Creator G.o.ddess"s level, I must at least reach a similar level…"

I shook my head and got rid of my idle thoughts. The enemy before us was our goal. The G.o.ddess of Chaos"s energy level was far too inconceivable. It seemed absolutely impossible to win. Was this the reason why the game"s history had ended in a complete Armageddon for all lives?

[Relax, she won"t be able to return ever again now that you"ve cast her into the void. There"s no Concepts of s.p.a.ce and Time in the void. With only a will, Cynthia can only have the concept of a "direction". Pure power is meaningless in the void. And, since her temporary physical body isn"t capable of hosting her divine soul, she can only stay where she is. No matter how close she appears to be, she"s as far away as the skies. And before much longer, that temporary physical body will also collapse.]

The fact that h.e.l.l was fixing its own dimensional tear from tossing out Cynthia"s physical body without any interference seemed to prove that my System"s explanation was correct. Cynthia"s physical body didn"t manage to move or do anything at all even by the time that h.e.l.l finished fixing its dimensional walls. After that, Cynthia was left in the void and the battle of h.e.l.l was completely over.

That"s right, all the fighting was completely over. There wasn"t much else worth recording in this experimental log of mine.

As for Sophocles the Deceiver, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d who broke his ceasefire contract with us thanks to Cynthia"s temptations and rich promises? He instantly signed another, far stricter ceasefire contract with us right when Karwenz and I appeared together with the Lord of Lies who had finally woken up at that moment.

Even if I was absolutely filled with dissatisfaction, now wasn"t a time where it was convenient for me to force a Main G.o.d like Sophocles to the brink.

My Mountain and Gluttons" Infernos were both under reconstruction. This meant that finis.h.i.+ng all of h.e.l.l would take a minimum of an additional one to two years. If I lost yet another Inferno, we would all lose even more.

And, every single day that h.e.l.l"s completion was delayed would likely mean that things would become worse and worse in the mortal plane.

Karwenz went over to say something to the Chaos War G.o.d Donatis. They apparently reached some sort of accord. And so, the fight between Donatis and Bastian became… well, it remained a fight between Donatis and Bastian. It would seem that Donatis was addicted to fighting, and he apparently intended on using fights to force out Bastian"s extreme limits.

Seeing this, I guessed that Karwenz and Donatis already had a secret agreement to begin with. At least, when this most "loyal dog" of Chaos heard news of Cynthia"s "death", Donatis actually reacted with delight.

Although we all reached a temporary peace agreement, I didn"t hide my mistrust of the three Chaos Main G.o.ds at all. They would remain under our watch. The h.e.l.l Devils all finished their transformations and woke up, so the Queen of Temptations retreated into Karwenz"s embrace as everyone watched… and then there were even more looks of dissatisfaction. Cough, it definitely wasn"t that I was envious or anything like that!

Stars also appeared in the sky of h.e.l.l as the h.e.l.l G.o.ds began to run their own Concepts. Even the stars themselves hovered above the Chaos Main G.o.ds, watching them, showing that there was not a single speck of trust in them.

Meanwhile, when a familiar white figure finally appeared on a familiar s.h.i.+p on the River Styx, everyone truly heaved a sigh of relief. Now, we were no longer worried that the Chaos Faction would cause any more trouble.

"Ayer has finally woken up."

Perhaps even I had always been unknowingly relying on him.

The black Pillar of Death which represented Death and Souls rose up again. The Pillars of Ice, Death, Holy Light, and Law supported the entirety of h.e.l.l, creating a virtuous cycle that greatly increased h.e.l.l"s completion rate.

Chaos War G.o.d Donatis and Sophocles the Deceiver remained within the dimension of h.e.l.l. That was something I couldn"t do anything about. It would be impossible for them to leave until the world of Eich finally became connected to the new dimension of h.e.l.l once more. Of course, there would always be a sufficient amount of strength watching over them. If either of them showed any signs of weakness, they would be dying instantly. So in the next few years, they definitely wouldn"t be having a good time.

And as for Karwenz? After Cynthia"s physical body was tossed out into the void, the Towers of Ice and Death were then able to complete Karwenz"s plan of stripping Cynthia"s soul away from his body and making her actually mortal by giving her the weakest possible physical body in an alternate form of revival. Karwenz then unhesitatingly dragged the screaming and shrieking G.o.ddess of Chaos into the void together with himself. The way he didn"t hesitate one bit and how he turned around and smiled, looking directly at me as he walked into the void, made me realize that he would be far more powerful the next time that I met him.

Now, the battle of h.e.l.l finally concluded with a total victory for the h.e.l.l Faction. The game"s history was now destined to be completely different from now on. The future world would change from two major factions to three. Perhaps all of Fate would be different from now on.

As time pa.s.sed, my Seven Original Sins, the Seven Kings of h.e.l.l, all revived and ascended their thrones. The Four Halls of h.e.l.l all began their operations. The h.e.l.l Devils worked hard at their own tasks, and the new Cycle of Reincarnation began to operate. When the first newborn baby was born in the Land of Spring, everyone in my faction, including even the G.o.ds, were overjoyed. Our Cycle of Reincarnation had been a success.

Of course, this was all told to me afterwards. That was because the moment that I canceled my reverse G.o.d"s Descent on Wumianzhe, I naturally sunk into a long hibernation myself.

Wumianzhe, as the Pillar G.o.d of Law, now became a truly independent existence. As h.e.l.l became complete, he became the very Concepts of "Justice" and "Selflessness". Of course, he had to entirely lose any concept of self. Wumianzhe was now part of h.e.l.l"s new order. This ruling Law G.o.d of h.e.l.l was destined to become the strongest G.o.d in all of Eich, but he was now no longer connected to me.

With h.e.l.l"s construction complete, all remaining small bugs would be automatically fixed by h.e.l.l itself. It would be impossible in the future for me to do anything like a reverse G.o.d"s Descent upon Wumianzhe as he was now truly independent. And I had now obtained my freedom as well. At the very least, I could finally stop worrying about the Armageddon ending that was destined to happen in the game. I could finally relax a little and enjoy my life.

What? You think that the future is still terrible? This world never belonged to myself alone to begin with. After doing so much, wasn"t it good enough already that the total annihilation ending was averted? I figured I could just leave everything else to the mortals. The h.e.l.l G.o.ds would help them to overcome any future difficulties.

Since Fate and the game"s history had been completely rewritten, I would naturally receive an astronomical amount of Fate Points and also some G.o.d Equipment for successfully killing off a Main G.o.d like Ladvioka… But unfortunately, my System didn"t finish her calculations before I entered my long hibernation.

But right before I closed my eyes and entered hibernation, my System"s final message ruined the comfort of my resting.

[…I think both of us were fooled by Karwenz. Cynthia"s death will not only greatly influence the Chaos Abyss, but also cause all of Eich"s dimensional walls to greatly weaken as one of the Creator G.o.ddesses was killed. It will become far easier for dimensional invaders to enter in the future. Things won"t be so easy in the future at all.]

Alright then, I was quite right to refuse to listen to him and kill both the Creator G.o.ddesses. If I had killed Astrya, wouldn"t that mean that all of Eich"s dimensional walls would have instantly shattered and we would have instantly entered a full-out dimensional war? The Chaos Faction would probably have lots of fun as they would obtain far more chances for evolution. But, the world would have trembled in fear at the unknown future.

"Karwenz, you scammed your older brother yet again!"
