[I will grant you one wish]
It was Ctula’s suggestion.
“Is anything possible?”
[If it is possible for me, yes.]
It’s just one wish from God, a great offer. It is said that God is not omnipotent, but from my standards, it is omnipotent. If I ask you to make me a god, is that even possible? Even if it’s not that far, it might be a half-body.
[Cthulla of greed and wandering. Are you putting my child to the test?]
Junon intervened. He guessed that Cthullah was a god related to greed. But wandering? Isn’t that a bit out of place? Yes. Come to think of it, Ctula was testing my greed right now. He cut off the rising greed and emptied his mind. In fact, the answer was fixed from the beginning.
“Please return the time before the two of you fight for the East and West Continents.”
[Do you know what a great opportunity I have proposed?]
Ctullah asked again, but I won’t change my mind.
“I know.”
[Think again]
This time it’s Junon. Even with Cthullah, shouldn’t you be saying things like that? If Junon had appeared early and intervened in the first place, so many lives would not have had to vanish.
“Junon-sama, are you okay with this situation?”
[What do you mean?]
“So many lives have been lost.”
[but there’s a lot left]
Junon said as if it didn’t matter at all. Even though it is the god of love. Of course, that figure may also be false, but what I thought from before is that these beings called gods have a different perspective on life than we do.
I also do not meddle in everything I see through the alter egos spread across the continent. For the most part, they are just on the sidelines. Maybe you are doing something like a god.
But there are countless lives I have watched. Wither, a regressor who said he would live this life comfortably for a long time, died trying to save Young Ji-min until the end.
A blacksmith’s assistant who dreams of becoming the best blacksmith, a farmer who has had her first child after 10 years of not seeing her child, a girl who takes care of her single mother and lives a difficult life, but lives brighter than anyone else A genius, a widower who worked hard to raise 9 children alone, a spider under the eaves that built a new house yesterday, a young queen ant who built a new house on her own, a rabbit couple who lost all their children to a fox, and a wolf that ate the fox
The many stories of the many lives I was watching have come to an end.
“My resolve has not changed.”
[Are you really going to use your chance for those little things?]
“That’s right.”
Crunchy!
Unknowingly, I gritted it. insignificant Yes, from the height of God, they are infinitely insignificant. Am I a little above that? Maybe it’s the same treatment.
[With my own strength, I cannot fulfill your wishes.]
Ctula’s words gave her strength. Can’t do it with the power of Ctula? So will it end like this?
[But it will be possible if you pay the price to Zurvan]
Nyala, who had been watching quietly, interjected. The tentacles on Cthula’s face moved violently, as if he didn’t like it.
“Then why not?”
[possible. Will you pass it on to me?]
“If you listen to my wishes, yes.”
[Recorder, accept my offer. Is it to your advantage
Nyala tried to placate me. But my determination will not waver.
[I will ask you one last time. Will you hand it over to Cthulla?]
“yes”
To Junon’s last question, I answered firmly.
[The tinnitus of my stupidity might be taken away]
Nyala grumbled at not being chosen, but she didn’t care.
I held out the red jewel. Then it floated up and went into Ctula’s mouth.
[The transaction is complete.]
Junon confirmed the contract. And at that moment, the surrounding landscape, which had changed like a wasteland due to the battle between the two gods, returned to its original state.
I don’t know what kind of deal was made between him and the god named Zurvan to restore it, but the god’s ability was really amazing to see. It is the power to ignore the common sense and order of the world.
[And you guys haven’t paid me yet. If you ran that much in my world, you will have to pay the price.]
Junon looked at the two foreign media and said. For a moment, a thought passed through my mind. Was this late appearance aimed at this? In the first place, Junon seems to have known that the red jewel was there. So, the oracle would have been given. Maybe he was expecting me to make this choice?
[I get it.]
[I will pay the price.]
The two foreign media obediently acknowledged it. I don’t know what to receive, but as a result, it seems that Junon was the one who benefited the most from this situation.
[Then disappear]
With Junon’s declaration, the appearances of the two foreign media gradually faded away. Only Junon and I were left.
“Junon-sama, was everything Junon-sama’s arrangement?”
Junon looked down at me with his tired eyes for a while before opening his mouth.
[no.]
Even though he said no, he should be able to believe that he is a false god.
[Record, wandering recorder]
From noble mtl dot com.
I am a wandering recorder, is that the way God sees me?
“Yes, Junon-sama.”
[Do not be bound by the bonds of compassion.]
Just like when he appeared, Junon disappeared. Around time began to flow again. Is it compassion, do you think that I turned back time by writing a wish as compassion for the world? No, compassion seems right. Still, I don’t regret that choice.
I went back to the Akasha estate. There, everything was back to normal. The adults are hard at their jobs, the children are playing peacefully, Wither is taking a nap, and Howard and Argyn are slicing each other to death.
I have no regrets.
Even though it’s just insignificant things in someone’s eyes, it’s not insignificant to me. I thought about what I should do to make all of this trivial.
Yes, let’s record everything. It will be forgotten by someone as an insignificant existence, but if I record it, it will not end as an insignificant existence. Now it will be a record of everything in the world, not my record.
The moment I thought that, my rank went up once again. Another Howard flew in the distance, followed by three people.
“ha ha ha!”
I laughed the loudest after being reborn as a human.
No one in the world knows but me, but such a huge incident has ended and everyday life has arrived as usual. Confusion did happen.
This is because a huge continent appeared in the west overnight. It was quite a distance, but thanks to the size of the new continent, it was visible to the naked eye.
I only asked for the exact time of the East and West Continents to be returned, but I did not say anything else. Ctula was carried out as it was, and the huge new continent created by the fight between the two foreign gods remained intact.
I’m not the only one who suffered losses. Because there is no one other than me who can cross the sea and get there. The New Continent is practically my territory.
He had already taken Howard to the New World once. In conclusion, this new continent was still useless. It is a continent formed by the rising of the surface of the deep sea.
Because it is still salty, crops cannot be planted, there is no drinkable water for people, and there is not even a single tree. There seems to be quite a bit of minerals, etc., but I’m the only one who can go back and forth here, so it’s not like I don’t have enough money to covet such things.
“I don’t have anything, so it’s good to sparr.”
It was an impression uttered by a witch from the Old Continent who set foot on the New Continent for the first time. I mean, it doesn’t seem that useful.
But time will tell. As the rain falls and the soil accumulates, one day there will be useful land.
At that time, maybe the technology to cross the distant sea will be developed, and people from the Old Continent will be able to come over and build a home.
I stopped by the new continent from time to time and built a house bit by bit with the materials I put in the subspace in the best location. It is a kind of hobby. When the house is finished, it will be the most special villa in the world.
In the meantime, the Ether Empire and the Angour Kingdom, which had a coastline in the western sea, were busy. Naturally, they began to be greedy for the new continent.
Large ships that had not been made before began to be made, and a new navy was formed, and training was conducted to deal with the beasts of the sea.
I just watched. Even if I go and tell them not to do it because it seems impossible, it will not stop human greed.
So, around the time I completed a plausible villa in the New Continent, I started the first expedition in the Aether Empire. It was a large-scale expedition of 20 large ships.
A few days later, 10 large ships were launched from the Anger Kingdom. Both countries had great expectations and poured their national strength, but the results were as expected.
Everyone was unaware of the fear of the distant sea. The fleet of the Aether Empire returned with half of its ships lost within a week of departure, and only 3 out of 10 ships from the Angur Kingdom’s expeditionary force returned alive.
Both countries took responsibility for the failure and many officials resigned. Among the more unusual figures was Yuri’s husband, Baron Thelmeyer.
After Yuri’s heart changed, she decided not to have a relationship, but after Baron Telmeyer’s dismissal, she was noticed and looked for a long time, but her condition was not good. It wasn’t that she was sick or anything, but with her husband’s loss, her status in the social world fell, and she was living like a half-dead person.
It may be seen as self-employed, but it was also true that I felt sorry for him. But there was nothing I could do right now.
Despite the great failure of the first expedition, the Empire began preparing for the second expedition. Could the failure of the past be the foundation for success this time around?
In the meantime, I was always spending similar days in the manor. Of course, on the surface it was. Lately, the pressure from the vassals has been getting worse.
Some retainers were making a fuss over a marriage issue that had been quiet for a while. I tried to mediate with Wither, who knew that I had not been married in my previous life, but
“Shouldn’t you try going to a wedding this time?”
By saying that, he was rather encouraging his retainers. I don’t know what I was thinking, but I had no intention of getting married right away, so I often ran away from my retainers.
By the time my vassals realized that there would be no way to catch me if I made up my mind and ran away, and gave up, an incident broke out in the East Continent this time.
A drifter appeared on the east coast of the eastern continent. Up until this point, it was nothing. However, the drifter was not a person.
Dwarves, a different race that was known to have gone extinct a long time ago appeared in the eastern and western continents. The Dwarves were guided to the royal family of the Baikal Kingdom where they landed and were treated with utmost hospitality.
And he made a shocking statement. There is a new continent farther out in the eastern sea, and it is said that a long time ago, different races, including dwarves, crossed over and prospered there.
The Dwarf’s remarks had a great impact on the East Continent as well. Countries with eastern coastlines began to organize expeditions just like the western continent. Of course, having watched all of this, I also sent some of my alter egos far to the east of the sea.
When the western and eastern continents were burning with desire and greed for the new continent, I went to meet the dwarves myself.
The dwarves who were staying in the royal family room were startled and wary when I suddenly appeared.
“Don’t be surprised. I am Count Saint-Germain Akasha. A saint of the Divinity Church and a count of the Aether Empire. I am also a friend of the elves.”
I took out the bow I received from the elves and showed it.
“oh! This is the bow of the big ears.”
“Are there still some big-eared ones left?”
The Dwarves rather burned their fighting spirit. In the past, there was a record of a bad relationship between elves and dwarves, but I wondered if it was this much.
“Actually, I came here because I wanted to ask you a few questions.”
“If you want our answers, bring us what we want. You goblin’s friend”
Is there nothing free in this world? If so, I have something that dwarves will love. And maybe there’s a way that works very well.
“How about this?”
When Drakan took out a bottle of liquor and handed it to him, the eyes of the dwarves who opened the lid and sniffed the smell became hazy.
“This is a superb product.”
“Who is the artisan who brewed this drink? I really want to meet you.”
When the Dwarves made a fuss, I answered with a grin.
“This is the liquor that Drakan-nim made.”
The dwarves instantly hardened as if they had become ice.
