Chapter 314
End of the Lost World and its Administrator (1)
Proofread by Ruriko
Having brought the McLean crew"s members back to the original world, we have the McLane floated on an abandoned beach in Leaflease and take the crew back in it .
When the crew members regain consciousness and find themselves in the s.h.i.+p, they see the beach before their eyes and then jump into the sea with joy, and all of them land safely . There is a street near to a fis.h.i.+ng village, which takes us 30 minutes to go there .
Well, so far, I have done all this with [Hypnosis] .
"We can feel relieved for the time being . "
"That"s good . "
We peek at the crew members when they arrive at the fis.h.i.+ng village . The villagers give them some food and they tell the villagers what they can recall from their memories . It seems that things about the Reverse World have been eliminated from their memories successfully .
By Transfer Gate, we come back to Brunhild .
However, why did McLean go to the other world?
There is the term "Divine-spirit" in our world . Maybe the accident which transferred those people to another world was caused by it . Did the McLean and the crew drift into the Reverse World by accident in this way? Probably . . .
Oops . Divine-spirit means someone is taken away by G.o.ds . Things may be clear if we go to ask the G.o.d .
I tell Yumina and others that I will leave for a while and ask them to pack some sweets such as puddings, cakes and dorayakis from the kitchen of the castle as gifts . The head chef Claire is not there . So we take as many as we want without permission . . . If she gets angry, I"ll apologize later .
"Well, I got to go . "
"Please give him my best regards . . . "
Sister Hanakoi, who got the cake from the kitchen in the same way, shakes her hand and sees me off . I"m not sure if there is a cake that she bit in my bag . . . Well, it"s alright .
I open the Transfer Gate and enter the G.o.ds" world . G.o.d is sitting on a cus.h.i.+on on the four-and-a-half tatami mats floating in the sea of clouds as ever .
"Well, here you come . "
"Long time no see . Oh, here are some gifts . "
"Thank you . "
After receiving the sweets box, G.o.d puts puddings and cakes in a small refrigerator at the corner of the room (though there is no wall or ceiling as usual), takes out the dorayakis and put them on the table with tea .
"What do you want to tell me?"
"Well then . . . . Where should I start from? . . . . First, let"s begin from a world controlled by the G.o.ds . "
The Universe G.o.d starts talking while stroking his long white beard .
"As you know, there are innumerable worlds under the G.o.ds" management, but what we manage are the "worlds" themselves, not the ones who live there . The G.o.ds and G.o.ddesses do not have to interfere in the development or the destruction of civilization there . Because destruction is also a part of the life cycle of "world" . The world heading towards destruction should be ruined by the Destruction G.o.d, who does his job . Then I create a new one . "
The legendary G.o.d of destruction . . . According to Universe G.o.d"s way of talking, Destruction G.o.d, with a scary name, differing from the name, might be a respectable G.o.d . . .
"Besides, the lost world that is likely to cause adverse effects on other worlds is also the target of the Destruction G.o.d . It"s a world where the Evil G.o.d is born and it"s impossible to restrain . "
"Hey, wait a minute . That . . . !"
"No, of course your world is not the target yet . There is no Evil G.o.d descending and out of control . However, the waterside is confirmed . "
What does that mean? If a Evil G.o.d descends in a world, will it become the target of Destruction G.o.d?
"The problem is far beyond that . The Evil G.o.d is making his followers cause mischief through the interstices of the dimensions . Look at this . "
When Universe G.o.d waves his right hand over the table, a three-dimensional map of our world is projected .
Then, he waves the left hand, a 3D map of the Reverse World also appears . The two symmetrical worlds are projected over the table quietly, as if two images are mirroring each other . Well, is this a flat world?
"This is the state of the two worlds half a year ago . And . . . "
The two worlds get closer gradually, then parts of them overlap with each other .
"This is the current state of the two worlds . The Evil G.o.d is trying to connect the two worlds . Now, they have started to do so . "
"No . . . !"
This caused the accident happening to the McLean, and the variants have appeared in the Reverse World, so I think that the Evil G.o.d and his followers might be behind these things . . . But how can the two worlds connect with each other?!
"Why does the Evil G.o.d want to do that . . . "
"When the two worlds are connected, it will become another world . Besides, it is not me who create the new world . That is to say, it will be out of my control . It must be the suggestion of his followers . "
"What . . . !"
A world beyond the control of the Universe G.o.d?! Why . . . !
"Usually, such a lost world beyond the G.o.ds" control is, according to the judgment of the G.o.ds and G.o.ddesses, the target of Destruction G.o.d . If it exists together with other worlds, it will attain its own evolution and have an adverse effect . But that is not what I want to see . "
The Universe G.o.d stares at me with his sharp eyes . I swallow my saliva instinctively .
"So, yes . We decided to leave all this to you, Touya . "
"What?!"
Wait, what does he mean?!
"You should end the unusual situation that is happening in the two worlds . In the name of mine, you will become a senior G.o.d if you succeed . "
"What?!"
Senior G.o.d?! It ranks higher than Sister Hanakoi and Sister Moroha?! Is that true?!
"To tell you the truth, even if you defeat the Evil G.o.d, the two worlds will still become one eventually . . . Then we need a G.o.d to manage it . Once a new world gets out of my control, it will develop too fast to be manageable for me . It will really help me if anyone can manage it .
"So you choose me to do it? I cannot imitate a G.o.d! "
"You don"t need to imitate . You will become a real G.o.d . . . There"s nothing difficult . All you have to care is not to cause Destruction G.o.d"s attention . "
That sounds a mission impossible . . . Even you the G.o.d of world cannot ensure that . Upon the present situation, he will come soon! Are you really sure I can do that?
"Of course, you won"t become a G.o.d immediately after you defeat the Evil G.o.d . You may be allowed to live on the earth for a certain period as an interns.h.i.+p . "
"By the way, how long will it last . . . "
"Well, maybe two or three thousand years . "
It"s such a long time! The interns.h.i.+p is too long! G.o.d Inc . trains its new employees so carefully!
In other words, if I solve the problem of Evil G.o.d, I will be officially employed . Before I take the position, there will be an interns.h.i.+p of two or three thousand years on the earth, and then I will become the administrator of that world . Well, it"s funny .
"Is that compulsive . . . ?"
"No . It doesn"t matter even if you refuse . I think there"s also the path of training yourself as a lower-level G.o.d, but then your world will be out of G.o.d"s control . The "lost world" may bring adverse effects on other worlds . . . Even if the evil G.o.d is defeated, that world will be eliminated by the Destruction G.o.d . Is it a pity, right? "
"You have no choice in this way . . . "
"I"m sorry . I want to choose a less troubled way . "
" . . . No, the world will be destroyed by either the Evil G.o.d or the Destruction G.o.d if you leave it alone! I"ll be thankful if you can reconsider it . Besides, that Evil G.o.d has been doing whatever he pleases . You"d better smash him at a stroke . "
I feel thirsty and drink up a whole cup of tea at one draft . It is troublesome, but it must be done . I do not know if I can do managerial work, but I can get used to it in two or three thousand years .
No, I have to beat the Evil G.o.d first .
"Thank you for undertaking the task . Because I don"t want that world to be eliminated, either . "
The Universe G.o.d drinks his tea while saying so . As a G.o.d who condescends to say so, he seems to be attached to this world more or less .
