"Yayoi-kun, you're truly amazing, to know even this! We at the police force are very grateful for your help." The fat, hat-wearing police officer's eyes shone with excitement. Altho...
Chapter 132 The Final Deal
"Well... Actually, I don't really want to answer your boring questions. But since the plot has come to this point, there is no need for me to force a suspense." The black ball of light rolled up and down happily.
"You, an existence that has imprinted the development process of the world, should not have self-awareness."
"My sudden appearance certainly has an impact on this world, but for the world, I have brought new energy, and it is usable energy. This is a good thing for it, so there is no reason for the world line to target me."
"So, I didn't think it was strange that you gave up your authority at first. I thought you just wanted to balance the energy of the gods and ensure that the light and evil in the world were in a balanced state."
"But I like to hide my skills by nature, especially for something like this that comes without any effort. I dare not use it easily. I must know your purpose, so I let the authority you give me change my thinking and follow your hint to act."
"I discovered that you wanted me to love humanity and sacrifice for it."
"The world line will not love humans, nor will He love anything unless He gives birth to His own consciousness."
"Then, I know that there is something wrong with the world line of this world. He has created his own consciousness. He wants to destroy the gods in the world and become the only supreme god himself."
"All I did was follow your script and quietly change the plot which seemed insignificant to you."
The black ball of light laughed. It stuck to the book wantonly, flipping through the previous plot. "It turns out that Hiro once found that my acting is very good. As expected of him. But you see, Hiro, a human being, has discovered a problem, but you ignored it."
"You still say you're not stupid?"
Looking at the danger approaching, although World Line knew that he was only fighting desperately, he still couldn't help but want to delay his life for a minute.
【Wait, I have one last question! 】
[Why can I write the sentence 'Thanatos's death'? ]
The black ball of light, which was ready to have a full meal, really stopped when it heard this. "Well, this is a good question. I know that you can't write sentences that go beyond the rules of the world, such as 'All gods except me shall die', 'I am invincible' and so on."
"'Let Thanatos die' is no different from these statements in your opinion. They are all sentences that transcend the rules. If you could have written this sentence at the beginning, there would be no Karasuma Renya, and you wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to arrange such a long plot."
"You're not that stupid if you can figure this out."
"Come, let me see. Isn't there a sentence in the sixty-ninth chapter you wrote? 'In this world line, his body is called Yayoi Kazukage'."
"Who is Thanatos?"
"World line."
The air is suddenly quiet
The black ball of light seemed to be waiting for the world line to say something, but in the end there was dead silence.
In the invisible corner of the light ball, the world line is glowing pink excitedly.
ha!
Finally got fooled!
It wrote the words without hesitation, [Yayoi Kazukage's body could not withstand the power of the god's soul and died suddenly. ]
Yayoi Kazaki is just a human being, so it can easily decide his fate, just like the fate of those humans it writes about.
Human beings are nothing more than its toys.
But Thanatos is foolish enough to live on the toy, so don't blame it for taking action!
As this sentence was finished, the world line was so excited that the pages of the book were flipping around, and a sharp wind was blowing.
Finally! Finally, I got the words out!
Damn it, damn Yayoi Kazukage, and even asked it to condescend to become a liar!
But before it could be happy for a few seconds, the black ball of light floated in front of it, intact, and even turned in a circle.
The world line stood there in shock, unable to react for a moment.
"puff"
The black ball of light couldn't help but laugh. "As a book, your emotions are so visible. It's beyond my imagination."
"Didn't you understand what I said?"
What?
Why is he still alive?
Didn't it already write about the death of Yayoi Wakaki? Wasn't this body called Yayoi Wakaki?
"Ah, although I can't see your expression, I roughly know what you are thinking."
"Don't you understand yet?"
"From the very beginning, my name recorded on the world line was fake."
The black ball of light sneered.
"Thanatos, Andong Yayoi, and Jing Yayoi, they are just names you recorded. The people in this world that you recorded are of course their real names. But don't forget, I am an alien god. If I don't tell you, do you really know who I am?"
"And as I said, I like to keep things to myself."
"I was forcibly dragged into an unknown world by an inexplicable force. How could I possibly hand over my real memories? How could I possibly hand over my real name?"
【You! You! 】
The world line screamed sharply, and its cry was about to shatter everything.
"Okay, stop yelling. Don't think I didn't see what you wrote. I've almost finished chatting with you. Although it's fun to see your defenses break, it gets boring if you watch it too much."
The unknown god chuckled, "My revenge on you ends here, foolish, naive, and arrogant world line."
"It's time to say goodbye to your game."
[No! You can't!]
The next second, the book with holy light exploded from the inside out, and the paper turned into fine powder and floated in the air. The originally invincible world line was like a pile of unclaimed garbage, and the unknown god reached out to take all the fragments.
He chuckled and revealed his true appearance from the void. His waist-length black hair was as shiny as silk, and his golden eyes were as bright as the moon. In his fair hands, he held a book with a black cover, and words began to be written on it automatically.
He put the world line that had been washed away of its sanity back to where it should be.
It will resume its original duties, supervising and protecting the world, instead of treating the world as its own playground, wantonly writing and tampering with the fate of everyone.
"The story written in this world line is really boring, isn't it?"
The unknown god who put down the book raised his head and looked over. He is talking to you.
“First time meeting an audience from outside the world.”
"Thank you for your attention to this boring story."
The unknown god winked at you
"Don't be surprised or doubt it. I am indeed talking to you."
“When you read this novel, you are looking at the world.”
"I know what you want to ask: who am I, when did I start lying to you, and what did I do."
"I am happy to answer your questions, the audience outside the world. I exist because I believe in you. Your gaze is one of the chips for my survival. The more gazes you cast, the more real my existence is. So I am happy to answer your questions and look forward to your gaze again."
"People fear death and the afterlife, so they deceive themselves by believing that souls will be born after death, imagining that a god can manage the souls of the dead. When people know that the dead will be resurrected, their fear disappears."
"I was born under this lie - the God of Death."
"Death is my authority, but lies are my truth. But I am also a god who exists because of belief, so as long as my lie is true enough, it will become the truth."
"Of course, if you really believe that I am Thanatos, I will become Thanatos. I don't care what my code name is. But I would rather be called Kazukage Yayoi because it sounds more like a human."
"Maybe it's because I'm a god born from human fear, so I like humans."
"Of course, I like you, too."
Kazukage Yayoi smiled softly, "The second question is, when did I start to deceive you?"
"No, strictly speaking, I didn't deceive you, but the world line that wrote this book. Everything you see is the script recorded in the world line."
"Remember the three stories in Chapter 31?"
"Epimetheus accepted Pandora's box and brought disaster to the world; the daughters of Belias believed Medea's lies and chopped their father into pieces, hoping that he would be resurrected; Prometheus was punished by Zeus, and Chiron died in his place."
"The Bible says there is nothing new under the sun. And they are actually allegories in this novel"
"The world line forced me into this world from outside, trying to swallow me up to increase its own strength. But it found that what it received was actually a Pandora's box. I not only brought energy to this world, but also brought original sin to this world."
"Original sin will cause the world line to lose the sanity it has worked so hard to obtain, and make it part of the world's rules again. In order to resist such erosion, it constantly drains away huge amounts of energy. The loss of energy makes it impossible for the world to function normally. For the world, it is a forced cycle, and for humans, it means that the soul cannot be resurrected after death."
"If this continues, one of the world line and the world will collapse first."
"It was unwilling to give up, so it tried hard to revive me, trying to wake me up, and then let me become a rule with original sin."
"And Karasuma Renya is the practitioner it chose."
"It deceived Karasuma Renya."
"It told Karasuma Renya that all the evil in the world was caused by me, and as long as I was resurrected, all the evil would stop."
"Karasuma Renya believed part of it. He dismembered me and chose Okuyama Mitsumasa to be the one who would revive the gods, and he himself prepared to kill the gods. After thinking that Okuyama Mitsumasa was dead, he knew that reviving the gods was not feasible, so he embarked on the path of killing the gods."
"He mistakenly believed that Original Sin would kill me. And this is consistent with the purpose of the world line, so he secretly helped Karasuma Renya to complete the so-called 'God-killing'."
"But I found a 'Chiron' in advance. Okuyama Mitsumasa was indeed paranoid enough, and after I promised that I would resurrect his family, he agreed to my plan."
"So, last question, what did I do? Well, if this were a game, I might be able to make a second playthrough. But unfortunately this is a novel, so I can't tell you in detail what I did."
"If you are interested in this, look at it again with a malicious and suspicious eye."
"Well, that's it for the after-sales part, my dear audience."
"The boring prelude is finally over, and the humans in this world will begin their new life. I greet you and welcome your visit again."
"But now, allow me to write."
