A Transmigrator’s Privilege

Chapter 128

Oh, World God.

I couldn’t even say goodbye. I felt apologetic that he seems to have worried about me a lot this time.

At that time, Thesilid, who had recovered from his heartache, spoke.

“It won’t be easy to become stronger above the sacred power of the 8th rank and 7th-level aura.”

“That’s right. Still, if I have to fight I will have to try something.”

“Are you going to fight? With that guy?”

“Of course.”

Thesilid’s voice did not tremble when he mentioned ‘that guy’ just now.

Wouldn’t it be a good time to bring it up?

“I don’t know if you remember it because it’s been too long ago for you, but there’s a prophecy Carpeus made in the dungeon where you obtained the sword of the Sacred Demon. He spoke of a ‘Newborn Chaos and Evil’ that will come out and destroy the world. That chaotic evil is him.”

“……”

“There is no appeasement or compromise with him. His only goal is the destruction of the world.”

“……”

“So we have no choice but to defeat it by force.”

Thesilid, who had been quietly listening, opened his mouth.

“Right. That guy……he’s an enemy to you.”

“Because he’s the enemy of the world. There is no choice but to save the world.”

At this time, I thought that Thesilid would listen to me and respond positively.

Using the Q&A book obtained from the Library of All Things, he must have asked the question, for why does he returns.

The answer must have been ‘because he was given a mission to save the world’.

So what I just said is a firm declaration that we were on the same side.

but.

“Right. You are on the side of the world.”

“……”

Thesilid smiled bitterly and turned his head to the side.

His eyes colored similar to the deep sea-like night sky outside the window, were terribly empty.

?

At that time, in a conference room in the divine realm, two male gods were talking.

[What’s going on, inspector?]

[We need to find out about the dungeon closing acceleration bug].

In the blunt voice of the ‘The Spoiler Inspector’, a blood vessel jumped from the forehead of ‘The World-building God’

[It is a world built by me, a God specialized in world creation. Do you think there will be a bug?]

Pajijijik!

Divine sparks bounced off by his revealed Godhood.

However, ‘The Spoiler Inspector’ was as firm as his large body.

[This is a bug reported by your apostle.]

[…]

[And strictly speaking, what you did was ‘reconstruction’, because this world had a predecessor.]

[It was a broken world on the verge of extinction. Except for the core, it is nothing different from a new creation.]

[Then, is it possible that a bug occurred in the soul of ‘Thesilid Argent’?]

As if deep in thought, ‘The World-building God’ buried his body wrapped in a three-piece suit deeply into the chair.

Soon the two Gods came to an agreement.

[Certainly, there are a lot of unclear things for the 17th episode.]

[It is definitely not the 17th round.]

[If the Original Geek says so.]

Due to the nature of infinite regression, it is a bug that can cause a butterfly effect.

The variables had to be identified so that the huge new world project would not be disrupted.

[I’ll ask The Eyes to find out. In the meantime, I’m going to create a bug report reward.]

?

To speak with Cardinal Cattleya, Rex, and Clovis again, I went over to the parlor with Thesilid.

Five people, including me, sat around a table with simple refreshments.

Soon, Clovis’ voice reporting the situation rang through the room.

“The number of victims of the dungeon burst is estimated at about 800 holy citizens and 200 republicans. Currently, relief forces are being sent from both countries to carry out rescue operations and recovery of remains, and a joint funeral and memorial service for more than a thousand people is scheduled to be held in five days. There will be no borders in the world of the dead.”

“……”

“The damage to the punitive force is serious on the side of the Republic. Because the black magic swordsman annihilated the vanguard of the Republic’s army. How is it even possible to become an Aura Master while already having that level of magic skill……anyway, Princess Marcellion will have a hard time avoiding being blamed for this incident.”

“……”

“Ah, regarding the black magic swordsman, a special investigation team will be launched sometime tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

I casually nodded my head.

Unfortunately, I had no expectations from the investigation team, because Pope Benedict had already become Reed’s subordinate.

The investigative team will try to disrupt information about Reed or reverse investigate those who dig into Reed.

So I drew a proper line in the next questions asked by Clovis.

“Does Your Eminence knows anything about that magic swordsman?”

“I ran into him in the village of Greenwall. There was no skirmish. That’s all.”

Following me, Cardinal Cattleya unraveled the information obtained as Secretary of State.

“Recently, there are reports from the dungeon subjugation teams. It seems that the demons speak as if they revere a person called ‘Newborn Chaos and Evil’. For some reason, I have a feeling he might have something to do with him.”

“……”

“Come to think of it, the town of Greenwall where the black magic swordsman was witnessed, and the Cyrillic province both have one thing in common: the place where a Dungeon Burst happened. It’s a terrifying thought, but he might have the ability to forcibly cause a burst.”

That’s the answer, it was the power of authority received from the demons.

Cardinal Cattleya turned to Thesilid.

“Sir Thesilid entered the dungeon that broke out in Greenwall Village. Do you know anything about that magic swordsman?”

“I’m sorry. I can’t remember.”

“……Right. It’s a dungeon where the Order of Pillar of Light and an accident, and I’m sorry for bringing up bad memories.”

She immediately talked about an alternative as if she didn’t expect much.

“The execution of those paladins at the stake has not been carried out yet. I’ll have to do some more interrogation.”

She was indeed one of the main players who had an active role in keeping Pope Benedict in check in the 17th timeline that was destroyed, although she could not prevent world destruction.

Around that time, the topic of conversation shifted.

“And the items……”

As soon as Clovis stopped talking, Rex got excited and intercepted his words.

“Your Eminence, you will be pleased. It was an artifact, not an item that came out. It’s called ‘Portable Sanctuary’, and it is said that you can create an area to safely protect allies in the dungeon. It’s like an outpost!”

“Ohhh, that’s great!”

I know it thanks to the original, but I pretended to be surprised.

‘Portable Sanctuary’ was a great artifact that anyone who was participating in a subjugation party would pay attention to.

You can safely collect information about unfamiliar dungeon environments, and you have the option of retreating when your allies are pushed back in a boss fight, giving an advantage in a long-term battle.

The survival rate of the subjugation party would increase significantly.

‘Even though I don’t have much use for it.’

Since I’m a transmigrator who knows most of the dungeon strategies, there is no need for information gathering. The possibility of a long-term battle should be countered by increasing the power and making careful preparations before entering the dungeon.

Clovis said.

“Artifacts are something to be pleased with, but the dungeon resources have turned out to be ugly and sinister.”

The atmosphere became serious again.

“An open-air mine of blood-stones has been created in the demonized land. Blood Stones have the property of eating human blood, so it is a mineral that the Church defines as an evil substance, but the Republic strongly wants it.”

“I guess so. The magic bloodstone has the effect of increasing the efficiency of the mana circuit.”

“It’s complicated because the border is located in an uncertain place. We should have destroyed it quickly, but Princess Marcellion started a sit-in while we were searching for Your Eminence The Holy One……”

Hey, don’t blame me. Even in the original work, the church was slow, this has nothing to do with me, you know?

Anyway, one side is trying to destroy and the other side is trying to have it. This is more dangerous than both sides wanting to have.

If the Ministry of Prosecution, which is as sincere in destroying evil as executing Heresy Judgments, tries to use radical measures, armed conflict may occur.

‘Reed was also aiming for this.’

From the beginning, this Dungeon Burst was Reed’s plan to pit the two countries against each other over resources.

These two countries are already on bad terms. It must be difficult to come up with a good ending to a problem where political interests and religious beliefs are entangled.

In the middle of the talk, a priest who is in charge of catering for me came in and informed me.

“Your Eminence The Holy One, His Grace Cardinal Vesalius, and His Grace Cardinal Decal ask to see you for a while.”

Before I had time to think about it, Clovis and Rex hurriedly got up from their seats.

“I’ll leave now, Your Eminence.”

“I think I should go too.”

But Cardinal Cattleya quietly drank her tea.

“I can stay.”

It will be to take my side when I am in trouble.

“Yes, captains, please go carefully, and guide the two Cardinals who are waiting outside.”

Not long after I dropped permission, Vesalius and Decal came in.

While they were sitting in the exact same chairs Clovis and Rex were sitting in, Thesilid moved and stood behind my back.

It must have been because the rank of the people gathered at the table had risen above that of a cardinal.

Decal first brought up the story using his benevolent face to the fullest.

“How are you feeling?”

“I’m fine.”

“I’m glad to hear that. Then would it be all right if we could talk for a while?”

“Of course.”

I straightened my back, showing a posture of listening.

“First of all……”

“First of all, congratulations on the official launch of your Order of Paladins, Your Eminence.”

Decal’s words were quickly intercepted by Vesalius.

“Oh……”

While I let out a small exclamation of joy, Decal, who had been deprived of the role of bringing good news to me, trembled.

“Thank you.”

A system message popped up while I was holding back my laughter and trying to keep my manners.
