The voice of the supreme deity abruptly stopped, and he looked over in disbelief.
Seeing His reaction, Vili's smile deepened, and the crisp sound of his clapping hands together was as if he were hitting the other person in the face.
"Haven't you noticed that something's missing from my life?"
Less...
The main god subconsciously followed his words and thought about them. As his power was lost, his figure gradually became smaller and smaller, and even his color became lighter.
At one point, He realized it.
"888..."
The snap of his fingers interrupted Him.
"It has its own name."
"Its name is Il."
"You've unbound yourself from it... Why?"
The main god did not understand the meaning of the name the boy spoke of, and asked with a blank yet persistent expression.
Vili did not answer His question, but instead spoke to himself:
Do you know where it went?
"..."
He kicked the ground with the tip of his shoe.
"It is currently engaged in its own battle within the system space beneath this space."
"...Has it gone mad?"
This was not God's intentional mockery, but rather a fact He deemed true. In His view, this was a completely presumptuous and thankless act.
"You've already broken the bond... so why would it still listen to you?"
"Yes...why?"
Vili repeated His question, and before he knew it, he had strolled up to the face of the supreme deity.
"Because we're comrades... You wouldn't understand that reason anyway, would you?"
The cold tip of the staff pressed against the core of the sphere of light, and the trembling of the supreme god ceased, leaving him utterly silent.
"It's like you can't understand why, after plundering so much power from so many worlds, you can't make it your own?"
Willie lowered his eyes slightly, glancing at the tangled web of pipes out of the corner of his eye.
"Because everything you do is based on fiction."
"You are a man-made false god, a liar who is full of lies. You think you are on a solid foundation, but in reality you are nothing but a castle in the air, a mirage."
The surface of the sphere of light began to flicker violently, as if it wanted to refute, but had no way to express itself.
"You are a greedy glutton, constantly devouring, eating yourself until your mouth is greasy..." The staff was held a little further away, tapping lightly, "But what is the reality?"
"To swallow something whole without understanding it, and to have only the surface appearance."
"You know that world consciousness is high above and revered, so you want to replace them... but you don't understand where their power comes from."
Feeling the origin of the previous world within his body, Vili's heart seemed to surge with a trickle of heat, filling his entire body.
The staff, which served as an extension of his power, suddenly emitted a dazzling light from the gem encircled at its top.
Accompanied by a crisp cracking sound—
The "god" fell from his high throne.
"What's fake is still fake."
The fragments of the supreme god turned into dust and scattered in the air.
The sealing magic circle vanished without a trace, and time seemed to slow down for a moment in this space. In a daze, Vili pieced together the appearance of the remnants of the light sphere.
—Just like the systems.
The magician showed no surprise, but rather tapped the ground with his staff as if he understood, collecting the dust that was about to dissipate in the air and letting it flow back through the pipes.
The world without a master is teetering on the brink of collapse; hopefully, these remaining energies can help them find new life.
One day, a new world consciousness will be born.
With a silent blessing in his heart, Vili turned and left.
I wonder how things are going with Il...
But as soon as he took a step, something fell from the sky, tumbling and reflecting a dazzling light before crashing to the ground with a thud.
...What beautiful gemstones.
As if a star had fallen into his eyes, Vili stopped in his tracks, but carefully wrapped the object in magic and floated it to his face.
This is……
The boy blinked gently.
—The core of the supreme deity.
The primordial forces of countless worlds are intertwined and condensed into this abyss-like crystal, radiating wondrous light.
How come this thing didn't break down along with it?
"Host!"
Il's call startled Vili from his reverie, and he looked over.
"You didn't see what I looked like just now!"
"I kicked two low-level systems, punched four mid-level systems, and was still arguing with those high-level systems, leaving them speechless!"
Even the electronic voices couldn't hide their excitement.
"In the end, they were probably intimidated by my power and all turned into fools, just standing there dumbly letting me do whatever I wanted. It was so much fun!"
"..."
That's because the supreme god has been destroyed, and the systems that depend on Him have naturally lost their source of power.
However, seeing Il's silly grin... Vili decided not to expose the truth.
His gaze returned to the faintly glowing gem in his hand, observing its smooth surface with some hesitation.
"Host, what is this?"
Il was drawn to the attention and came closer.
“Hmm…” Vili spoke slowly, “This is…”
"Loot dropped after defeating monsters."
Il: ?
It shook its body, somewhat confused.
"Then... what can it be used for?"
It might be of little use to others, but for Vili, who possesses more than one source of world consciousness within him…
"Perhaps..." the mage's voice was somewhat uncertain, "it might allow me to become a god directly."
"..."
