38 – Chapter 38
“Haam…”
A yawn comes out of boredom.
Today is the day Adela goes to the Great Library.
It is a day when there is nothing to do.
How many times have I been left alone like this?
Noctua, who had been flying around me, flew to my side and rubbed her head as if to cheer up.
Come to think of it, I really haven’t done anything for the past few weeks.
She sparred Adela when she wanted to, and when she didn’t, she walked out with her crew, which Adela had chosen for her.
Still, that wasn’t too bad.
It was always new every time I went outside, and I enjoyed sparring with Adela.
As I was watching Noctua and the mace that turned into a ring interact like that, there was a sudden uproar outside the room.
“Little girl!”
The shouting gradually drew closer to the door, until the door was thrown back with a loud bang.
At the same time, Adela appeared from behind, looking very excited.
“I did it! Little! Thanks to you!”
Crying out, Adela lifted me up.
A stupid sound leaked from her mouth as she suddenly felt her body floating in the air.
“Wow!”
But without stopping, Adela finally threw me into the air.
Not the sensation of floating in the air, but let’s taste the sensation of floating in the air, a scream comes out by itself.
“Ahh!”
The terrible experience continued until eventually Ethan came and stopped it.
.

“So the moment I saw that fist, I remembered the kid’s mace! Just dodge! Just hit me! Big…”
“Ha…So the information…”
“Oh wait a minute. So I was there…”
She was constantly telling her own saga of how exciting it was.
This is the 5th part I just heard.
Fortunately, as if reading my expression, Adela stopped her story.
“Big. Okay. Information. It was as the dark-haired her kid said. It definitely has something to do with the Great Chaos.”
With those words, Adela pulled out her note from her bosom and told her the information she had brought.
“First of all, ‘that incident’ and great chaos are very similar. Great chaos blurs the line between humans and beasts, and the distinction between the living and the dead disappears…”
“…The monster from ‘that incident’…”
“Yes. Undead and werewolves. The boundary between man and beast becomes blurred. The distinction between the living and the dead disappears. How is it. Don’t you think it fits?”
“Besides, some of the information Phryxia gave me was this.”
Adela said in a confident voice and put down the notes she took from her arms.
One of the notes had letters written on it, and one had a map drawn on it.
A village was drawn in one corner of the map, and right next to it was written [God] In an antique handwriting.
“Now, whose god is this?”
“It must be an evil spirit…”
“Yes! In addition, this note, because it’s a journal? It’s a journal written by the members of the eclipse church who protect this divine object. Read it here.”
This is what Adela said and pointed at.
[Successful production of artificial gods. Confirmation of chaos creation upon completion. Procedure complete.]
I couldn’t help but stiffen as soon as I saw that sentence.
“The day this journal was written…”
“The day ‘that incident’ happened…”
“Yes.”
Looking at the two of them talking like that, I don’t think I can go on with it any longer, so I decided to ask.
What in the world is ‘that incident’?
I know it is roughly related to his great blessing, but I don’t know the details.
I’m sure it won’t make me feel so good to know, but it’s a matter I need to know.
“Um… may I ask what ‘the incident’ is?”
“Ah… Yes. I don’t think the kid is going to go anywhere and brag about it.”
The story that started based on trust in me was enough to dig into my heart and make me suffer.
“Because I and Ethan lived in the same town?”
“Aren’t you from Illius?”
“Yes. He’s from a small town far away.”
Saying that, Adela seemed lost in longing.
Ethan, who was listening to her, looked the same too.
“But one day, the villagers suddenly turned into werewolves and started tearing each other to death, and the dead began to resurrect as undead.”
“Like that, the whole village just disappeared. Only Ethan and I managed to get out of there.”
“That’s why Ethan and I are chasing after the identity of the incident~ That’s what I’m talking about.”
A heavy story told in such a light atmosphere.
Hearing that story, my face hardened even more than when I read the journal.
“…Sorry. For a moment.”
“Ah, did you really listen?”
“…No. Sorry.”
As I said that, I left the room and headed towards the empty warehouse.
I can’t possibly be with them in that space.
Yes, I will. Because what happened with that artificial god was what I ordered.
******
“Ah…”
The Great Chaos and ‘The Incident’. These two were unknown.
But artificial gods.
This is… I know.
What is an artificial neoplasm?
Simple.
It’s just an incredibly powerful defense facility.
If it can be moved, it will become an attack facility, but it is not an object that can be moved as it only works when the enemy appears in the form of a huge stone.
And what’s unique is that when this altar is completed, it scatters chaos around.
Looking at the situation going back, it seems that ‘the incident’ refers to the chaos that came with the production of artificial gods.
Then a serious problem arises.
That was also the reason why Illyana was trembling like that.
That means that Illyana gave the order to create an artificial god.
******
Her hair was dyed white.
Yeah, that’s when I gave the start signal.
Put the last piece on to complete the divine object.
I wasn’t there, but I gave the order.
Let chaos come.
I knew that a lot of people were swept away.
I don’t know what kind of chaos it was, but I knew that I was in a bad situation.
So I wanted to spend my whole life atone for myself.
I thought so.
But isn’t this too much?
Adela and Ethan are the survivors of the incident?
It’s not what I did.
I don’t even know how artificial gods are made.
I didn’t make it.
But I did.
I ordered them to do so.
Like a doll, I said what the elder wanted, but with my own mouth I spoke.
“Ugh…”
I really don’t have the confidence to put my face in front of those two.
To them, me and to me, the eclipse church.
What is different?
In the end, I destroyed their village, and in the end, I trampled on their daily lives.
When I was so full of guilt, I heard his voice.
[How can you be so depressed? You don’t have to be so.]
From noble mtl dot com
“Ugh… Thank you… Thank you.”
Is it because the effect of education has faded after being away from the church for a long time?
The voice of resentment rose to the top of his throat and then went down.
Why do you look depressed?
In the end, isn’t it your fault?
Why do you treat me like this?
However, the effect of the education that still remained faint fortunately suppressed it.
Rather, rather, how comfortable it would be if I could become a perfect saint of evil spirits.
How happy I would be if I could not suffer from all of this.
So, while wanting to escape from his shadow, they were eagerly waiting for an opportunity to become his fanatics.
-Smart
“A kid?”
Adela’s voice broke my thoughts and rang through the warehouse door.
When I couldn’t open the door because I couldn’t open the door and face her face, I opened the door from the other side.
I couldn’t let this expression go unnoticed, so I covered her face with her arms and greeted Adela.
“Yes, yes.”
“Ahh… Didn’t you like hearing that?”
“Oh no…”
Even if it sounds bad, at least you can’t show it in front of the two of them.
However, in Adela’s eyes, my condition did not look so good, so I brought up an unexpected story.
“I think you should be here for this time. It’s too dangerous.”
“Me too…”
I will go. I was trying to say
I couldn’t tell them the truth, so at least I tried to help them.
But that attempt was stopped by his voice, which was heard again.
[No. Stay here.]
“…I understand.”
Just like that, once again my voice was blocked.
******
It was to be expected that he would try to follow Adela.
Since I can’t tell you the truth, I must have been thinking of following you and helping you.
But I couldn’t let it go.
If you follow her, nine out of ten believers will recognize Illyana, and if that happens, things will get tangled and not undone.
Is that all?
It is also dangerous.
In the original work, Floyd and his colleagues gritted their teeth and attacked one by one, destroying artificial gods one by one.
I don’t think it will attack Illyana, but it’s something you never know.
In order to take all those risks, it is right to choose the lesser evil of pretending not to know.
Illiana’s heart will be quite uncomfortable, but she has to accept it.
In addition, that is not the only problem that has arisen now.
If this continues, Adela and Ethan will surely die.
What do you think the two of them are going to do when the hero Floyd broke his teeth?
This is nonsense.
And after she dies like that, Illyana will suffer even more.
So we have to stop those two from heading there.
