Chapter 172.2
Chapter 172.2. Speculation Continues
“That ‘night’ is a metaphor, right?”
“I don’t understand the meaning. What does ‘night’ mean?”
“It’s a metaphor. It represents a world filled with darkness and monsters. It’s an expression of the night. And the momentary world alteration was done by Nagaraja. It’s the highest hypothesis among the reasons why we can easily create god realms.”
“I see, I see.”
After a pause, Odin’s face becomes intrigued. He appears like a god seeking wisdom.
Frigg and Freya also hold their breath, waiting for Odin’s words.
“We don’t know who came up with the idea, but it means they’re seeking a substitute administrator, not useless gods. So, they created vessels like Nagamasa and once tried to summon gods.”
“I’ll pass on that. Mii-chan isn’t a god, after all.”
Being a world administrator is no joke. It’s a pain in the ass.
“Well, I agree. I think it’s best to let those who want to do it handle it. However, if some god becomes the administrator, this world will surely become chaotic.”
“Oh no! That would be troublesome! Oh, how about ant-san? Could it be ant-san? Because it’s an ant, you know?”
I’m pointing to ant-san, who was casually eating mochi. Isn’t it a perfect fit? Since it’s an ant?
“Ants are not gods, so it’s not possible.”
Ant-san lowers its head disappointedly, feeling down. Odin doesn’t spare any mercy and dismisses it without hesitation. He even ignores the nice joke.
Nevertheless, I understand. If something god-like appears, we have to defeat it. And I have a clue.
“Do we have to defeat the Demon God?”
“That’s correct. Speculating, the Demon God is a vessel for gods. Other things bother me as well, but it’s better to defeat them.”
“Do we have to fully resurrect, and defeat it?”
Freya raises her hand with an anxious expression.
“If the Demon God is fully resurrected and uses the souls of reincarnators, the souls of gods will descend again. It’s safer to defeat it.”
“A world filled with magical power. I see, it’s a world where everything is solved by magic. Nezha’s world regeneration holds significance in this context.”
Nidhogg desired the regeneration of the world. If there’s a god-like Nagaraja who can alter the world, they would be able to create a new world.
“Well, Nagaraja couldn’t alter the world completely. There are probably other conditions.”
Oh, right. That’s true. The world changed for a moment but returned to normal. Nagaraja thought it was because of Miu, but in reality, it was something else.
“Can you speculate on the other conditions?”
“I don’t know. We don’t have enough information.”
Odin easily responds by not knowing.
“You don’t know?!”
“That’s right. I mentioned it as a hypothesis. We don’t know what the conditions are. However, there are hints. It lies in the original work of the Night of Magic. There must be hints there.”
“So, our current objective is to defeat the Demon God, right?”
So we’re going to collect the rest of the sacred objects as planned.
As planned, we gather the remaining Sacred Artifacts.
“It’s better to defeat it rather than sealing it. Otherwise, something might happen later.”
“That’s aggressive. But indeed, if it follows the template. It might secretly revive, right?”
“True, a half-hearted revival would undoubtedly be futile. If there is remaining power, it will surely demonstrate resilience and recover itself.”
“Understood. In that case, we’ll continue as we have so far. By the way, there’s something I’m curious about.”
I want to confirm one last thing.
“There’s a chance that Mii-chan is also being targeted, right? Being a [Trans-dimensional reincarnator] and all.”
If that’s the case, I’ll need to strengthen security and work harder to eliminate Nidhogg. Considering the strength in the game, I don’t want to fight right now. But we still have to push through. It could potentially harm our family.
“You can’t tell if someone is a reincarnators just by appearance. Unless we have some evidence. Also, considering that the proper use of the Life Fruit has been lost, isn’t it reasonable to assume that the souls of reincarnators are needed?”
“I see. Indeed, there were no such depictions in the game. And I don’t think it was mentioned in the novel either, so we should be fine now.”
“…Yes, even if they exist, it wouldn’t be a problem as long as we’re not revealing the details of God’s Descent. I’m also curious about what kind of powers they possess. Are their magic abilities different from others? How were they able to transcend dimensions?”
At some point, Odin, with a suspicious glimmer in his eyes, began to resemble a mad scientist.
“Mii-chan won’t become Grandpa’s experimental subject, alright?”
We set up our course of action. Well then, it’s about time to go to sleep.
“Our tasks remain the same. Gather the Sacred Artifacts, fully resurrect the Demon God, and defeat it. Somehow acquire the Life Fruit and destroy it. Make sure not to reveal ourselves as Transmigrators!”
“If we follow through with that, we should be fine now.”
“Oh, not much has changed in what we need to do.”
It’s reassuring to have Odin’s approval. As Freya said, it feels like our goals have expanded a bit.
“Well, we’re already collecting 4 Sacred Artifacts, so the advantage is on our side. There’s no need to rush. The original story hasn’t even begun yet. But, Frigg-oneesan, please check who possesses the Life Fruit… Frigg-oneesan?”
I noticed that she hadn’t joined the conversation along the way. Frigg-oneesan was peacefully and happily asleep, wearing Nidhogg’s enormous bracelet like a blanket.
Oh well, Mii-chan should go to sleep too. Goodnight.
I still don’t know why only Mii-chan has game specifiaction, but oh well. I might find out eventually, or it’s okay even if I don’t know.
As a mob character, I’ll continue supporting the main story from behind the scenes.
