Chapter 60 – 60. Akashic Records – Assemble (1)

One day, Clark showed me something during an expedition.

-Actually, I’ve been waiting for a man like you for a long time.

-Honestly, I did too.

-Really?

-It’s a lie.

-Eeeeek!!! You trample on my pure heart. Hey, guy!! Be prepared!!!

It was an object that recorded video.

These were the first words a large bald man said when facing an enemy. I remember that the expression on the face of the woman next to me was overwhelming.

What kind of bullshit are you talking about right before the final battle?

Well, even among the knights of Camelot, there are some unspeakable walls, and King Arthur gathered such people together and created a knighthood made up of only ‘lovers’.

Grand Wizard Merlin said that a unit united by ‘love’ exerts tremendous power even with a small number.

…

I think it was something like that. The problem was that it was a knighthood full of men.

I don’t know what the woman with her head full of flowers was thinking, but King Arthur listened to her.

The problem was that his actual combat power was amazing.

This is a unit made by lovers.

…

There is a reason why you lead. I found out that

If a rather bulky man confessed his love to her like that, Gawain would probably have a hard time rejecting her. At least I don’t think he’ll play around like the characters in the story.

There wasn’t really anything to do during the expedition, or there was something like that among the things the party members showed when they gathered during break time after a fierce battle, or at least the black-haired man in front of me right now.

The violet-eyed being whom Eris called the ‘Hound of Tindalos’ was talking about this.

Did you say that it was a video shown to you by a ‘friend’ who has been close to you since childhood?

I could see that the ‘friend’ was right in front of me.

Was it the same as a real person?

That’s not it.

If I had to be honest, I said the painting was alive and moving. When asked if it was Magia’s newly developed technology, Clark flatly denied it.

-Those idiots make things like this. If the time comes for them to create this, it will only be when a world arrives where nothing can be done with magic, right? Or maybe it’s a world where even if there is magic, it’s useless.

-There’s no need to say that, right, Clark? You are a wizard too.

-…People who have given up on thinking for themselves create stories like this. People who have no sense of humor other than making fun of others are making works like this. Wouldn’t it be better for Kogan to become a pacifist or grow taller?

-You’re having a bad day, kid. You should learn to enjoy the heat of battle more. Did the world know that you only speak of peace with your mouth? Peace exists only in a world where it becomes natural that if you say something like that, an ax will be driven into your head. Even if you guys talk shit about the law and all, isn’t it better for those who are supposed to be chased by the law to not be chased?

When Clark criticizes Kogan, Kogan also gets angry at Clark and says peace. Naturally, from Gawain’s point of view, Kogan’s words are pure malice, but as a fellow colleague, they are the words of someone whose skills are certain.

Naturally, I do not agree with his thoughts and say that law should exist even for the unspecified number of people who need to be saved in the world.

Outlaw.

This blood-drunk outlaw, who joined the hero party only for the sake of fighting, had spoken to Clark and tried to guide him in case the young mage might be influenced by it.

No,

I couldn’t do it.

Before that, my insides were already black and bruised.

-Well, that’s right.

Shouldn’t that usually be denied there? However, if you look at it another way, Clark may have been immature, but if you look at the fact that he had no hesitation in killing something, Clark also went through a lot at a young age.

People criticize him for being so young and saying he has the whole world to live for, but they say shit to Clark during the expedition. Especially when he saw Clark, who had dark skin, he felt an insult that was difficult to put into words, and Clark endured it.

However, even as he persevered, he was clearly upset and hurt.

When you show that power, you are immediately looked at with fear.

…

How much hurt did you get from that?

The words that followed represented Clark’s words.

-If I work on this floor for a long time, I envy outlaws like you. Because if you’re like that, you can drive an ax straight into the head. That’s not possible in an aristocratic society. Those bastards. Why can’t people who are nothing other than being born as nobles spread themselves so far? You don’t know how annoying it is that you have to poop with your butt, but when you do it with your mouth, it smells really bad, and you can’t rip that muzzle off.

He adds, “If it weren’t for my father, I would have destroyed everything.”

That’s how much the boy respects his father, and doesn’t seem to be willing to cross that line for his father’s honor. But when I think about what Alicia tried to do to the young archmage, I can see how much discrimination he suffered because of his skin color. .

And considering that he mercilessly tried to crush and kill Alicia, he must have suffered a lot.

In other places, they have been shown to endure more than 3 times and if you go further than that, they will mercilessly kill you, no matter who tries to stop you.

In particular, even if he hears a huge insult related to his skin color, he can tolerate it three times, but if he hears it more than that, he kills him without even asking questions.

Kogan seemed to like Clark for his ruthlessness, and the outlaw dwarf laughed and slapped Clark on the back.

-Yes? Now, when we get back later, let’s get ready to have a drink with me. Even though I hate spell takers, I like you quite a bit, kid.

-I get 8, then you get 2.

-This bastard is not even a raw blade thief.

-Why did you think hiring a mage would be cheap? If you think it’s common for a mage to easily destroy three or more cities, stop.

-Pest, 7. No more than that.

And Clark also chuckles at the sight of him immediately agreeing to negotiations as if he recognizes Clark’s power. It seems like this is how I was planning to receive it from the beginning. Considering that Clark wipes out most of the large armies in the first place, he can afford to give more than that.

At a young age, he was a powerful wizard who was considered comparable to the great wizard Merlin in Camelot. It wouldn’t be strange for her to become a royal mage, but she lived as a teacher before joining the expedition.

It is also a small professor referring to small students.

I don’t know why this person stayed in that position, but it must be because it has nothing to do with money.

-Okay call. If you want to have a drink later, call me. That is, if we return alive.

-Usually the guy who says something like that is the first to search.

-Personally, I wish that Kampf bitch would be searched first.

-Actually, I was like that too.

-Really?

-It seems too weird to say it’s a lie, you stupid bitch.

As a bonus, it’s a story about a time when Alicia, an elf with good hearing, stormed in and made a fuss by using what she saw as a drip.

And the one who made it known to this world.

The Hound of Tyndalus.

And I could see that he was a more powerful being than Cassandra.

Cassandra was able to hold on and overcome it somehow, but now this existence…

If you fight back you will die.

No, he knew intuitively that he would be killed before he could do anything.

Moreover, the energy I felt from Cassandra.

Purple eyes.

And an energy similar to hers.

Almost at the end, he was the one who attacked her, prepared to attack her, and since I was exposed to that energy up close, I could tell that there was some kind of relationship between him and her.

And while Dick was watching Gawain’s actions, he whistled in admiration.

“I have a good feeling. Usually, idiots try to fight because of their desire to win, but for someone who has just become a ‘Majin’, he has quite good self-control. It would be good to remember that sense. It will save you.”

Those that have just become demons run wild, drunk on their own power. At least I am a warrior in this world

“…Are you Clark’s friend?”

“…Oh, did you introduce me like that? This is really embarrassing. Actually, if I say that I’m a friend, it’s true, but if I say that I’m not a friend, that’s a bit different. Well, what I can say for sure is that even with that guy’s father, “We’ve known each other for quite a long time.”

“…Before that, let me ask you, what on earth is your relationship with Cassandra?”

“…”

“Why do I feel the same energy as Cassandra in you?”

And this time, it is Eris’ turn to be embarrassed by Gawain’s question. That’s right, the guy who introduced himself as ‘The Hound of Tyndalus’.

He seems to be using the pseudonym ‘Dick Johnson’ now, but he was told by his staff, Weedy, and even his mother, not to turn him into an enemy due to his strength. If you ever encounter one, never be hostile.

I had no idea that such a being could possibly be Clark’s guardian, but at the same time, I knew that he was truly a powerful ‘monster’.

Maybe he could become a demon lord more powerful than Cassandra.

And the power I feel from him now.

“Do you want to hear an answer from me, Gawain?”

“…”

“Well, things aren’t so good right now. There’s a customer following you guys.”

“…!”

Quaaaaa!!

Dick disappears in an instant. And the beast woman next to him takes Carnetia along with Gawain and Eris. And then Dick, who had disappeared, stepped forward and at the same time blocked the hammer that struck with thunder, and the ax in his hand blocked the hammer that exploded with lightning.

“…!!!”

Eris, of course, and Gawain, and the rest too. Carnetia and the dark elves under her command were also able to know who was here now.

Blonde, golden hair and blue eyes. A being with eyes shining with lightning and muscular build that brings thunder and lightning. God of Urs. God of Thunder – Thor.

And Dick’s ax blocked the hammer Mjolnir in his hand.

And he said he was axed.

And the fact that the ax was targeting Gawain and Eris. And Mine followed behind Dick, followed by Gawain and Eris. Send Carnetia and the troops under his command behind him.

“…Please go. If you go back, you will be able to follow Mr. Clark to Gehenna. There are many things I want to ask, but not now. But, at least I can give you the answer to what I need…That person. “I can answer this.”

“…Are you okay?”

And Mine grinned at that.

In a power battle with Thor, he is fighting tightly without being pushed back. And Thor, too, seems to have been visibly embarrassed, as he didn’t expect that his power would be blocked, and at the same time, he seems to have realized who was blocking his path.

And Mine looked at Dick and said.

“Yes, he won’t lose.”

“…Despite the shame, I will leave it to you.”

So Gawain passes her by.

Nug, the place Yev points to.

He then points to a place where the road to Gehenna opens, and Eris and Carnetia, who checked the inside of the place, nod their heads and Gawain also throws himself there.

After they left here.

Thor, the god of thunder, is facing Dick. He came here and at the same time discovered Gawain, the ‘survivor’ of the demon king hunt he had been targeting.

The ‘original goal’ was to eradicate the ‘foreigners’ who had invaded this world, but just in time, the survivors were discovered.

So, I kill you on sight.

At least I thought it would be easier to catch than the foreign media that hit ‘Heavenly World’.

What is this?

An unexpected monster existed here.

“…You! Demon Sultan’s hound, why are you here?”

“I can’t believe the Thunder God of Asgard has come all this way. It looks like there’s nothing left to do. I’ll give you a choice. Do you want to just go, or do you want to get beaten up?”

“…How dare you talk about humans!!”

The stories about ‘Thor’ that I saw when I was really young were really good stories.

A friend of warriors and protector of agriculture. A god who brings thunder and lightning and prays for a good harvest. I think he was called a guardian spirit who went around beating all kinds of monsters. How did I become such a twisted being and settle here?

I’ll kill you, but…Don’t…

…It’s damned again.

Hammer…Hammer battle…I want to see…

Oh fuck.

Punishment for folding… I’ll take this as your punishment.

Naturally, Dick was in a very moody mood, he was who he was.

…

Keep the Elder God alive, who will not be happy even if you break the pot right away.

Is there any other way?

If the owner criticizes you, you should criticize him as he says.

Okay.

It’s not just Elder God that has been twisted.

Your current owner. Even she is in a twisted state.

…

Ha, really.

How much longer can he endure in this mess?

It has already lasted a long time.

Will the planned rest come to you?

How much will that little boy cry for me in the end?

They say parents have to leave their children someday, but please-

I hope the breakup doesn’t hurt that much.

…I’m so tired now.

I’m so tired of putting up with this nonsense.

I’m so exhausted, it’s almost too much to even handle this now.

After spending a long time in the throes of this damned existence, I felt disgust at myself for ‘awakening’ a girl by completely ruining her life, and at myself for being swayed by it. And again, how despairing was the fact that he couldn’t even properly resist the being who was pulling the dog’s leash to make the story according to his own taste.

Subdue this.

Don’t kill me?

Okay.

But it doesn’t kill.

Pick up an ax

And the wolf mask is put on.

Why is he a wolf mask even though he is a bastard?

Honestly, I don’t know.

Perhaps it is a remnant of the failure of trying to add to the portfolio of ‘God Eater’.

He was captured by this demon sultan and his body was altered, and he ended up in this strange state.

And…

Was it the time when he was trying to subdue me by picking up an axe?

Kwaaaaah-!!!

And then, a huge black mechanical soldier that I had seen somewhere appears in the sky.

At the same time, he slammed his fist towards Thor-

“Khaak!?”

Absorbing that power, he raises his fist and throws a punch.

Taang!!

Gunshots are heard.

And at the place where the gunshot was heard, a dimensional gateway opened, and Thor, who was blown away at the same time, was thrown into it.

At the same time, a being with black hair and purple eyes appeared wearing a researcher’s gown and carrying an umbrella.

Machina.

She appears and Mine, seeing Machina’s appearance, opens her eyes wide and is surprised.

“…You are?!”

“Hello, sex doll. And hello, you smart ass. Why are you here fighting with some blonde muscled hunk?”

“…”

Oh, it’s so funny.

The sound of Demon Sultan cracking open popcorn can be heard.

Of course, it seems he wasn’t the only one who heard that sound.

“I know you’re listening, Demon Sultan.”

Hey, can you hear my voice?

“I can hear you, so let’s talk.”

“…Hey.”

“You shut up. Anyway, my goal is only you from beginning to end.”

And Machina looked into space and spoke.

From beginning to end, her only goal was the guy in front of her.

I am always watching him, and of course I want him, love him, want him extremely, and want him again.

And only you can put a leash on it.

“…If you don’t take off that leash right now, I’m going to destroy your entire playground.”

It’s fun. Do you know who I am and are you pretending here? Would you like to try hanging your dog on a leash too?

“Huh!?”

And Dick’s presence becomes even more gripping. But either way.

“Well, then you’re losing a fun toy. But you, it looks like you’ve been concentrating a lot of your ‘spirit’ here. Do you want to be an asshole and get beaten up by a mortal no bigger than an ant, or do you want to do it and walk away? “I have nothing to lose, but you don’t, right?”

…

Really, this crazy bitch is the same as before and now.

I feel the leash around Dick’s neck loosening.

This damn thing is always on a leash and never lets it off. Naturally, he seems to be acting as if he is something that will be thrown away anyway, and when Makina, who understands this, talks about the respect of the Demon Sultan and the humiliation he will experience, she seems to dislike it that much.

And Dick knew too.

Now this crazy bitch has planted a bomb in Daemon Sultan’s ‘sensing organ’ that is connected to the world.

Which…

Demon Sultan seems quite upset.

He was literally in a situation where he would pull out all the hair on his head without even realizing it, and if he kept chewing and screaming here, that crazy bitch would shave off all the hair on Demon Sultan’s head. Even if I die, you will live with shame.

Oh my god, fuck that demon sultan.

You crazy bitch, what on earth have you been doing?

-You fooled my senses and put on a bell?

“You have no idea how long I researched to get back the man you took away.”

-You took her with a legitimate contract, but you object to that? You’re cocky.

“It sounds like a fair contract. Are you willing to put a gun to your head and stamp it and die? After all this shit, is it just? Oh, right, since we can just kill mortals anyway, we can treat them anyway?”

And Machina looked at Dick,

She spoke into the air.

“You will get back what you did.”

-What did you do…

“I don’t like the Elder Gods, but I think you should also be screwed for creating and enjoying situations like this. Now, let’s try to prove the hypothesis that the existence of God is really ‘perfect’. Can you solve this? Isn’t it? And…If God is really all-powerful, can he solve this? Can he chew it? And can he punish me?”

Machina’s words and actions are filled with madness and only madness.

And Nug and Yev both felt overwhelmed by that endless madness.

Is God Almighty?

Do you have the will to solve this?

If he is omnipotent, he will solve this, and if he has the will to solve it, he can solve it.

If you have the will but cannot solve the problem, you are not omnipotent. If you are omnipotent, you can solve the problem if you have the will to solve it.

The problem is that I want to do it, but what if the hypothesis that I am not omnipotent is proven?

-Damn it…Mortal!!!

“I need to sleep for a while. God is the most beautiful when he is dead or asleep. Isn’t that right? Like Wilson on a desert island, he is a being that just listens to anything I say. That’s the most beautiful being.”

And soon after, Machina took out a cigarette from her arms, took out a lighter, lit it, took a cigarette in the rain, took a long drag, then exhaled it toward the sky and raised her middle finger.

“You are not omnipotent, Demon Sultan. Yes, if it takes this long to come up with a solution to the ‘problem’ posed by mere mortals, then what is omnipotence and what is a god?”

“…Crazy…Bitch.”

And it didn’t take long to figure out what was happening.

Demon Sultan’s power was weakened.

And that too for just a moment.

And of course, now is the most dangerous time and it will not be long before we regain our strength. And the same goes for me, who is also affected by her power, and is now in a slightly weakened state.

She was Machina, accompanied by a being that could fight at full power, and seeing as she had just sent Thor flying, it was clear that she was a special machine created to deal with the gods.

If we had to deal with it in its current state, it would be very difficult.

Machina looks at Dick and smiles coquettishly.

If you think about her usual behavior, she is clearly happy to meet Dick and is happy to see her face.

“Well, I came here because I wanted to talk for a moment. I got caught on a leash by a woman outside. You can’t do it without me, right?”

“…Do you know what you touched?”

“A weakling pretending to be a god?”

“…”

From one to ten, they are all idiots.

And, Machina looks at Mine, who is standing in front of Dick and blocking him.

“It’s been a while, Mine. Are you taking good care of Dick? Isn’t that bastard living a very upset life?”

“…Please don’t come too close now.”

Dick is dangerous. And as for Machina, she just momentarily broke down the Demon Sultan and now that Dick is weakened, she can overpower and take Dick away if she puts her mind to it. Of course I don’t want to do that. A partner whose heart is not broken even if her body is broken is of no value.

At least as long as he follows his words and rules, if you kill Clark without saying anything, he will agree and follow you.

So, I’m holding on here.

As a bonus, I came after one of my favorite collaborators.

This damn snake is running wild.

If we’re already going to collaborate, will it be okay if we move together a little bit?

“…Do you think this is difficult? I came here to look for the ‘Black Pharaoh’ – I saw his face anyway, so I guess you’d be here too, so I saw his face. And…”

“…”

“…Why on earth are you living like that, you son of a bitch?”

Machina’s voice calling out to Dick was full of regret.

The man I love is suffering.

And she knows there is no way to ease that pain and only fuel an endless hatred for the being who holds it by its leash.

She was angry that it was all she could do.
