Chapter 263 (Self Edited) Being Asked for Help

I refuse! (Hildegard)

Immediately after being told kindly, that was the first thing shouted at the beginning, and it was Hildegard who did it for some reason. Moreover, the appearance of pointing out her chest proudly seemed to be trivial, and that made Soma let out a sigh unintentionally.

Well, why are you answering? And for some reason, you look proud. (Soma)

Thats because of her you know? No matter how you think about it, its fishy. For starters, the management of this world is under her jurisdiction, and theres no need for Soma to help. (Hildegard)

Although she surely could see the personal and hidden thoughts, there was one reason why she said that.

Or rather, she honestly considered Soma. Her words were a bit too fishy to listen obediently.

She wasnt skeptical about her being a G.o.d or rather, that might be the reason? To believe in the word of G.o.d, people wouldnt experience bad things. That itself was common to all ages.

Oh my its sad that you cant believe my words. (Satya)

Hmmph mind your own business. Leaving that aside I think I should ask what you are plotting. (Hildegard)

Plotting what do you mean? I need him to save this world because its true that this world is in danger. Of course, its not the result of my plotting. (Satya)

Hmm is it a crisis in the world? (Soma)

Although that came quite abruptly, the other side was the G.o.d of this world. It wasnt something that could be denied unconditionally.

What exactly is it? (Soma)

Soma? I dont think its necessary to follow along with her nonsense (Hildegard)

I thought you were the one who asked what was her planning, yes? No matter what I decide, I cant make a decision without first listening to her. (Soma)

Hmm thats true, but (Hildegard)

Well, dont mind whatever the motive is. As long as you listen to me, you both cant ignore it for sure. (Satya)

When you say that, I immediately lose the desire to listen, but even so, did you say you all? (Soma)

Yes. Well, youre probably already skeptical, but the reason I made you wait for five days was actually because Im waiting for Hildegard to come. I was wondering if she would come here more directly, but surprisingly, that didnt happen. (Satya)

What do you mean surprisingly!? Did you say you were waiting for me? (Hildegard)

Of course, thats because Im waiting for you both. (Satya)

What was troublesome was that she knew from the beginning.

So, there was no surprise in particular, and when Hildegard looked at her, urging to speak quickly, she deepened her smile.

Hmmm? I feel like youre creating an atmosphere where you can understand each other with your eyes? (Hildegard)

Its probably in your mind. So? What do you mean? (Soma)

Well. Anyhow, Im quite wondering where to start, even though I said Im going to talk about it. Well, its fair to talk from the beginning. Yeah, so do you believe that this world was supposed to be destroyed a long time ago? (Satya)

Is it supposed to be destroyed? (Soma)

Yes. It was hundreds years ago to be exact, it was about 500 years ago. (Satya)

Soma had an instant click about the words probably because he had been involved in related events several times. He didnt know the specific number of years, but hundreds of years ago was something that he had heard several times

Hmm In other words, by the Evil G.o.d? (Soma)

Indeed. Yes, this world was supposed to be destroyed by the Evil G.o.d who had fallen mad. But that didnt happen. It was nothing but the Evil G.o.d himself was defeated before the world was destroyed. By the hands of certain heroes. (Satya)

Hmm speaking of certain heroes, you always use to say it. (Hildegard)

I wonder what that means. (Satya)

It means as it is. Ive heard that story too. I think it was a story about how the heroes suddenly appeared in this world, right? (Hildegard)

That reminds me, I remember hearing it too. Was it a story that the heroes, who defeated the Evil G.o.d, were the other worldly people? (Soma)

When that was said, she smiled as if that was a correct answer.

When the Evil G.o.d, who was evil enough to destroy the world, was rampaging, people, who had the power to stop it, happened to appear from another world. Soma wondered if such a convenient coincidence had happened.

Unlike Hildegard, Im a G.o.d born only to manage this world. Since I am completely one with this world, if this world is destroyed, I will also be destroyed. Even G.o.d doesnt want to die, so I did my best. (Satya)

If you say that much, you should have done something yourself. The fact that there were only two pillars meant that the power was the same, right? (Hildegard)

I wanted to do that if I could. All the authority of the combat and hatred were under her jurisdiction, and it was fundamentally impossible. (Satya)

Fundamentally impossible? Does that mean you cant attack her? (Soma)

No, actually, thats not the case. I said it, right? I was born to manage this world. We arent authorized to harm what we managed. Even if she had fallen, she was also the one who managed it. Far from attacking, I couldnt even hurt her. (Satya)

Hmm? It feels strange, isnt it? Then, the Evil G.o.d shouldnt be able to destroy the world that she managed, right? (Hildegard)

That should be the case, but perhaps, she was different. It wasnt because she had fallen, but its because she was empowered to destroy the world from the beginning. (Satya)

Whats the reason to do so? Well, I dont think the world want to commit suicide (Soma)

No Actually, thats right. (Satya)

What? (Soma)

The world gave her the authority to commit suicide. By the way, everything was on the rules, including her falling madly and destroying this world. It was decided to do that from the beginning. (Satya)

By who? (Soma)

Of course, by the world. (Satya)

It was something that Soma couldnt quite understand yet, but apparently, it was different from Hildegard. She was nodding as if she was convinced of something.

I see the world has decided that it is its destiny. (Hildegard)

Well, it may be hard for you to understand, but the world is that kind of thing. It predicts the future that its most likely to follow and try to do just that. It doesnt worry if its destruction awaits at the end. (Satya)

In a sense, its the most natural thing. If the world does something unnatural, I dont know how much the impact will be. Thats why we call it fate, and its right to follow it (Hildegard)

Well, Im exceptional in many ways. (Satya)

Although she shrugged her shoulders while saying that as if it was like a joke, as far as the actual story was heard, it was likely to be so. Regardless whatever it meant.

Hmm Well, I understand somehow, but whats with the story? In other words, it was 500 years, and the destruction of the world was prevented by the defeat of the Evil G.o.d, right? (Soma)

No, actually, its not prevented. Its true that theres no longer a factor, but the world itself hasnt given up. (Satya)

Aah well, in that case, it seems to be that way. If the world has set it as fate, its absolutely something the world wants to follow. Even if 500 years have pa.s.sed I mean 500 years is within the margin of errors from the world. From the worlds point of view, it considers as a failure, so its likely to move toward to the next opportunity. (Hildegard)

Thats right. However, as I said earlier, I cant do anything about it. Thats why I called you both. (Satya)

There was no contradiction in the story, and it was certainly a convincing story.

But

So, why are we called? (Soma)

I mean, you can call us normally. (Hildegard)

I wanted to do that if I could, but then there was a risk of being detected by the world. Its almost like advertising that Im up to something to call you guys to come to me. Well, it may not change in the end, but I should choose the one with the lowest possibility of being detected, right? By the way, the reason I called you both is I decided to entrust this matter to you. It is exactly as I said. Thats because youre one of the few people who can go against the world. (Satya)

You dont mean by fighting power, right? (Soma)

Yes. The reason I dont choose other people, for example Eleonora, is similar to why I dont make moves directly. Even if I try to do something, I cant do it. Its impossible for ordinary people to go against what the world wants. (Satya)

Hmm, surely, Im a former G.o.d and a dragon, so I cant say that Im purely a human being in this world. However, Soma is physically a normal human being in this world, right? (Hildegard)

Hes rather more important. Hes the only one who can really go against it. As the Demon King, he would be recognized by the world that he was the traitor of the world. Thats because you were chosen by the world to this world. (Satya)

But I have never wanted to do that? (Soma)

Well, there are various reasons for that. Im going to explain it one by one, but before that, can I ask for your help? Since you are the focus in this matter, it may be a problem to tell you various things if you dont feel like helping. Aah, of course, if you cooperate, I promise to give you a decent reward. (Satya)

Hoo? Isnt it compulsory? I thought I would be told if I didnt cooperate, I would die. (Soma)

How can it be. If so, wouldnt I be the Evil G.o.d? Im a good G.o.d. I dont force someone to do something that he doesnt want, and I pay the right amount to those who work. (Satya)

Hildegard said I dont want to hear it from you, but that was perfectly ignored. While smiling, she had the seriousness in her eyes.

Even so, Im still a G.o.d. I can do most things, and I can fulfill most wishes. For example, you will be able to use magic. (Satya)

She asked So, what do you think?.

TLN:

Apparently, the Evil G.o.d is female since Satya addressed her as Kanojo.
