## Chapter 1548 – Swordmaster’s Other Story – The Otherworld’s Demon God

A few days later, Risha summoned us to her workshop.

“I have discovered something.”
“Oh.”

Risha’s temporary workshop created with her magic.

Risha, who could now replace all kinds of magical tools with her magic, could turn any room into a temporary workshop if she wanted. So, Risha had turned one of the hotel rooms into her workshop.

Anyway, a dismantled S-class magic stone was laid out on the magic circle located in the center of the workshop.

“You figured it out already? Risha?”

But she figured it out faster than I thought.

After catching and killing the S-class monster, we were doing interviews and traveling around Europe and the Americas for work, when we suddenly got a call.

“Hehehe, isn’t that obvious? This kind of thing is so simple for me that it only makes me yawn.”

Looking at Risha proudly speaking… I feel like joining Karin and Hilde in praising her enthusiastically.

Since it was an important matter, I stopped Karin, who was twitching her lips, and asked for an explanation.

“Hehe, yes. It’s obvious for our Risha. Anyway, please explain. Risha. What did you find out?”
“Understood.”

Risha began to explain.

“First, as it is a technology from another dimension, I carefully carried out the dismantling and analysis. But surprisingly, it went smoothly?”

Smoothly?

“As it is a technology from another dimension, I imagined something extraordinary. Something completely different from our world’s methods… But it wasn’t necessarily like that.”
“So that’s why the analysis was fast?”
“You could say that the similar points made the work easier.”

I had a similar thought to Risha. That there were similar points. Is it a kind of convergent evolution of technology? But what do I know about this kind of technology. If Risha felt that way, then that’s probably how it is.

“First of all, this magic stone is a power source that condenses some kind of intense power. But it cannot be called a simple power source. It plays a role similar to the core of a golem… something like that.”
“The core of a golem?”
“It also has similarities to a C-P-U that goes into a computer.”
“C-P-U.”

Hearing those words, the women listening to the explanation spoke at the same time.

“C-P-U. You say.”
“Yes. She says it’s a C-P-U.”
“She says it’s a C-P-U that goes into a computer.”
“C-P-U, huh.”

C-P-U.

“Stop it!”

I stopped them immediately because if they teased her any more, she might transform.

“Anyway, Risha. To summarize, it’s a technology from another dimension, but it’s not a completely different kind of technology, so Risha was able to deduce that far in such a short period, right?”

Risha nodded.

“That’s a bit strange. How is it similar?”
“It’s a bit difficult to say it’s similar… but you can understand it as it didn’t feel completely extraordinary. But there was a special point.”
“What special point?”
“As I continued to dismantle it, I discovered a slightly unusual energy in the deepest part of the magic stone. And that.”

That is?

“It emitted a kind of wave similar to mana.”
“Mana?”

Everyone tilted their heads at those words.
A being from another dimension uses mana?

“See for yourselves.”

—Swish.

At Risha’s gesture, the magic circle floating above slowly descended. On top of the dish-like magic circle was a small grain.

Is this it?

“This was the thing in the deepest part. Feel it.”

I immediately grabbed it and felt the energy.

—…

“This is.”

Certainly.

Something similar to mana. I could feel such a subtle energy. But is this really mana? I can feel a similar energy, but I can’t say it’s the same thing. I thought it might be a modified mana… but I can’t know for sure.

“Let me see it.”
“Here.”

The other women also touched the grain one by one.

“It does feel a bit similar to mana, doesn’t it?”
“Yeah. I know. It’s completely different, but it does feel a bit similar.”
“Then does that mean there’s a power similar to mana in another dimension? If there’s something similar, doesn’t that mean there’s something similar?”

Hmm.

Mana.

A being from another dimension that uses a power similar to mana… First of all. In my estimation, if a being that uses ordinary mana crosses dimensions and comes to this world, their mana recovery will be very slow or not recover at all.

Because there is no mana in this world.

Of course, that doesn’t mean they can’t use mana. But as there is no mana in the atmosphere, it is inevitable that the power will be halved.

However, like the grain in this magic stone. If you do something to it, you can use it properly. Because it’s storing energy… Anyway. Basically, my power transcends mana, so I don’t have any penalties wherever I go. It’s just because I’m strong. The same goes for my women. They have received the power of me, a transcendent god, so there is no problem.

“Energy that can be used anywhere.”

Godly power.

“Risha. What do you think?”
“Wouldn’t it be an item from a world where some kind of power similar to mana exists?”
“Then what about the superhuman powers used by Earth’s awakened?”
“There are two possibilities. That the power originated from this mana-like power. Or that the two are separate powers. I think we need more clues to find out more than this.”

No. This amount of information and reasoning is enough.

All that’s left is to beat the shit out of those guys directly and find out.

“Anyway, what I found out is up to here. If we apply this technology, we can explosively develop golem or homunculus-related technologies.”
“Keep that in mind. Thanks for your hard work, Risha. You’ve cleared up some of my curiosity.”

There are races in other dimensions that use different energy sources.

I should keep this in mind.

“Hehehe, I also had fun for the first time in a while. If you acquire any more of these other-dimensional items, be sure to bring them to me again.”
“Of course, I will.”

Risha looked very happy.

“Then, Katter? Until the next S-class monster appears, we’ll be working and waiting, right?”
“Yeah. That’s what I’m planning to do for now. But I don’t know how long it will take. Do you want to go back to our hometown first without me?”
“I don’t want to go unless I go with Katter.”

Huh!!!

“Yeah. I’m not going unless I go with Blackie.”
“The system is properly built, so there won’t be any problems if we stay a little longer. Well, if there are any problems, that’s fine too. We can fix that part.”
“If that’s the case.”

Since that’s what my women think, I’ll have to stay a little longer for the time being.

Then, let’s continue working on Earth until the next S-class gate appears.

* * *

—Woo Woong.

It was when I was gathering the Earth’s lords and giving a speech. Sensing a specific dimensional distortion, I cut to the chase and tore through space, opening a warp gate leading there.

“Huh?”
“What?”
“Dismissed. Something urgent has come up.”

Leaving only one word to the bewildered lords.

—Hwaaaak!

I immediately threw myself into it.

—Kuaaaaaaaaaoooooooooooooooo!

What I saw as soon as I threw myself in was a huge monster politely following the Dimension Traffic Laws and using the dimensional passage.

The monster was an S-class monster.

As soon as it saw me, it howled and took a step. It walks well even though there is no land because it is a dimensional passage.

“It’s not closed yet.”

And what I see behind it is the entrance on the other side that has not yet closed. The S-class monster entered this passage through that, and will soon exit through the exit that will be created.

At the same time, the entrance will be closed.

“I won’t let that happen.”

I don’t need anything else. I’ve been waiting for this moment. I will find out today who the fuck is sending monsters to Earth.

—Kuoong!

An irresistible impulse, I kick the air.

At the same time, I raise one fist and take a Superman-like pose, emitting fierce white flames from the soles of my feet and flying towards the monster.

And.

「—Bbeooooooooooooooooooooong!!」

An explosion erupts.

“Heavenly Demon Divine Art Super Hit-and-Run.”

I continued to advance, blowing up the S-class monster as it was.

Before the entrance closed.

—Hwaaaaak!

I went out through the entrance where the guy came in.

“Finally.”

—Paat!

At the same time, the scenery changes.

“I’ve crossed over.”

Clearly recognizing that, I read the boundary between this dimension and the dimensional passage, and find its coordinates. If I have the coordinates, I can come back again. While doing so, I expanded my vision and senses.

“Rehu?”

This place was strange.

It felt like I was in a small sphere. It’s not that small, but to me, whose vision has widened to the scale of dimensions and universes, this place was a small world.

If you compare dimensions to glass, it felt like I was inside a glass sphere. Isolated somewhere… no. A part of space that has been separated.

And in front of me, there was a continent in the same situation as a miniature ship in a glass bottle.

“…”

The continent.

It looked like the land dreamed of by those who claim the Earth is flat. The shape of an inverted cone. On that surface, there was the otherworld-like land that I had seen on Earth. And on the land, something like biological buildings were densely built.

—Boo Woo Woo Woo Woo.
—Woo Woo Woo Woo Woong.

I judged.

“This is not the place.”

This is not the world of the invaders. It was either created by invaders who are very good at dimensional magic, as a kind of weapon factory, or it was one of the small dimensions that was separated from somewhere.

—Kuaaaaaaaaaooooooooooooo!
—Kuaooo!
—Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo!

Monsters crawl out of the holes in the huge biological plant built on the land. Those were all monsters I had seen on Earth. Their sizes were different, and their grades were also different.

All kinds of monsters were produced here and went to Earth.

—Jiiing.

And small gates are created here and there. Small monsters, whether drawn by instinct or not, begin to crawl towards them.

“It’s a fully automated invasion factory.”

A facility that puts such a continent in a round barrier-like dimension and automatically attacks other dimensions with the monsters produced there.

The production of monsters, the opening of dimensional passages, and the guiding of monsters there are all automatic.

“Are there several of these?”

It’s quite a tremendous technology. I thought there would be at least a few other-dimensional intelligent beings working or doing work here. I’ve been thinking about catching those bastards and beating and torturing them since a while ago, but all those plans have been ruined.

But.

“If I break something, I’ll find a clue.”

I immediately raised my finger and aimed at the continent.

“Heavenly Demon Death Beam.”
