The Supreme Being, eh?

　It wasn't the supreme god who blurted out the demand I thrust at him, it was a hungry old man.
　I didn't get a good look at him, but he was probably a fertility god.

'Guess what I'm going to say. There can be no other supreme god in this world or the universe without Liars!

　The fertility gods introduce me to lift the old man in my face as he lifts his spirits up.

'Oh, come on, that's where you start,'

　Well, I can see how it would have been more convenient to leave it that way.

Hey, old man. Do I have to teach your staff the basics in a very thorough manner?　From my point of view, everyone else is not only of no use to me, but they're all worthless to me.
Let me tell you something.

　The fertility god, the old man, stands up to me, tries to exert some kind of authority over me, and I'm not going to let him.

Uh-oh.

　I was on the verge of inflicting destruction on the counter.
　A fertility mule was pinned down on the ground by a young man who was observing his demise.

"...I brought you here to do this.

　The old man of the supreme god snapped his wrinkled fingers, and the old man of the fertility god, and the beautiful woman called Rave, who had been crying out, crumbled away as salt.

''Well I see.''

　Originally, all four of the five great gods were created by the old man of the Supreme God. He can kill and rob at will.
　You sacrificed them by killing the main body of the substitute body and collecting its power while executing it in front of me. In this situation, when I freed Roethlisberger from the sealing beads, the main body was destroyed and it was salt.
　Well, if you're stupid enough to throw away your life for a toy, then you wouldn't have done a creation god.
　I don't have any sympathy for the gods that were erased, but the way they did it made me want to vomit.

''So, who's that guy?''
'Zyode, the god of war. Well, I'm just a sort of bodyguard. Don't worry, your mind is not as flexible as the others.

　The young man who had risen without moving a single eyebrow at the destruction of his fellow gods bailed out to us.
　I see, so this guy is the only one not subject to the purge.
　

Well, then...

　Whether or not he knows what I have in mind, the old man raises one eyebrow.

He wants you to cut off your hand from the supreme god Naron. What will happen if I refuse?
I will create another god in the form of anta and have him do it. And for that, you will have to be destroyed.
Well, of course.

　The old man of the Supreme God looked distantly at him and nodded yes.

''So be it. The Ryouji Kagehagi I know would certainly do it.

　That's when I felt uncomfortable for the first time.
　Even though you know me....

"You're awfully happy about that, aren't you?

　What I'm doing is just plain blackmail.
　It's a good idea to have the subordinates of the opposition killed as an example, which is also within the realm of comprehension for someone who is somewhat familiar with the existence of a god, but at any rate, he's too prideful - or rather, he could die as an existence if his pride is injured - too understanding for a god.

"Ho!　Do I look like that?

　My gut tells me it's not a trap.
　But it's spooky. I've experienced many different worlds. That's why an opponent that exudes an unknowable presence is worthy of caution.
　You will be able to get a lot more than just a few minutes of your time.

Well, that's all right. As you can see, I am more than willing to negotiate with you. What will it cost you?
Well I guess so.

　I feel like I've been led into a situation where I don't feel comfortable with my chest.
　If this is what they're after, they've been very successful.

May I?

　The God of War, who had been watching the outcome without a single change in expression, raised his hand.

"Oh, Zyodor. What is it?
'After all. Who is the Supreme God Naron?

　The old man glances at us.
　I guess he wants to give me time to explain.
　I sighed and nodded back.

Well, to tell you the truth. I am the supreme god of this world, but I am not the supreme god of the whole universe. After all, Naron is the God above me.
'My God. There was such a being.
Hmm. He never interferes with our business, but he is a very strict god when it comes to violations. He is regarded in the pantheon of temples as a biceps above the eyes. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're talking about, because Naron used to be a clown god. So the nickname I got for him...
It's a f*cking god.

　As if he expected me to interrupt him, the Supreme Lord grinned.

''Mm-hmm. Assuming he has a spirit like a manure pool, even a woodsy creation god would have at least heard of him.
That godd*mn god... and Li'ars-sama were in cahoots, right?
No way. That supreme deity is much, much higher than me. Not as in boss and subordinate, but more accurately as landlord and tenant. In a universe managed by Naron, you can be assigned an energy that can enhance your divinity through faith and achievement. We, the creator gods, created the world in a universe managed by Naron, and we compete for faith there. If I go along with your story, of course I won't be able to receive such benefits. What benefit is there for me?
'It's easy. Just leave the godd*mn universe and come to my universe, and I'll give you my energy for you. For now, I'll give you twice as much energy as the average of what you get in a year.

　The f*cking god-managed universe has a system that automatically collects the souls of the dead, converts them into energy, and redistributes it to the gods. The creator gods use that energy to create the world.
　But even so, energy is not infinite. Therefore, in order to obtain more energy, the gods devise various ways of obtaining it. They build their own magic systems and worldviews, and support them by giving them blessings. Among them, the most effective way to gather faith (points) is........

''Hmm. So that means that they are completely cut off from the rest of the world, right? That means that it will be impossible to summon or reincarnate anything from the earth?
'Oh, yes. Even if I could, though, I wouldn't admit it.

　Otherworldly summons. Otherworldly reincarnation.
　It's no coincidence that many such phenomena are found in the universe managed by the f*cking gods. Because faith isn't something that is only earned within the managed world.
　It is outside the universe. Those who are outside the bounds of reason. The ultimate third party, whom God calls the audience and Eva calls the "observers". The more they spin their favorite stories in the controlled world, the more energy they get from Gaff.
　I don't know why, but it seems that summoning other worlds and reincarnation are very popular among the observers.
　That's why the gods are so eager to attract earthlings to their world. If we do this, it may seem that humans will disappear from the earth, but to tell the truth, there is no problem at all. It's because in a godd*mn god's universe of many parallel worlds, there are countless Earths too.

'So what do we do?　I don't give a shit either way, man.

　I switch my mood from almost depressing to depressing by remembering something unpleasant, and then I puff out my chest with arrogance and insolence.

''Then I would like to ask you one thing, sir.

　The supreme god pinned up his fingers like dead branches and squinted at him.

'You can kill me and set up a double, I suppose. Why don't you?　I don't see why they should contact us in this roundabout way and leave us with no choice. And moreover, thou shalt not like God, shall thou?
'I think there's a misunderstanding. I'm not saying I think everyone I don't like should die. It's true that people I don't like are often gods, and they often kill. At least you're not at fault, at the moment. At least you haven't trampled on me or anything I care about.

　The Supreme God gazes into my eyes. Even if it's a higher level god's eye, there should be nothing to see through.

''....Zyodor. Take it off here.
Ha!

　The war god obeyed the order issued after a brief pause, without a doubt.
　When the god in his heart disappeared in the dimensional transition, the old man smiled cheerfully, dissipating his previous atmosphere of being a higher god.

''To tell the truth. The old man laughs cheerfully and says, "To tell you the truth, I think you have misunderstood some things. I would like to make a correction.
...What?
I did not come here. I didn't come here because I read the letter of your offering. I have been watching for a long time.

　You've been watching this for a long time?

You've been watching me from the moment I was summoned to this world?
'No, no, no. No, no, no. Much, much, much later.

　Oh, I see.
　So you're saying that you've been watching me, not just this time, but since the time I was summoned by Tina.
　........hmm?

Wait. That's not right. I've been traveling through another world and not this one, okay?
"Mm. That's why I'm telling you. My body has seen it. Well, that's not going to happen when your self-domain warding is deployed.

　It's no wonder that the Creation God has the kind of ability to see the world.
　It's like a higher god's job to see into the past, present and future of the world he manages.
　But it's only within the universe I manage that I can manage multitasking with my so-called 'almighty' authority.
　If you want to see me outside of that, in a universe managed by another god, you'll have to keep your eyes on me for once. So that's tantamount to abandoning my work.

'Anta are you really the god of this world?'
You think so?　I created this world, without a doubt. But I have had other gods do most of the real work for me.
Why did you go through all that trouble to find me?

　I don't understand.
　The god in front of me is unlike any god I've ever seen.
　My instincts were now ringing the warning bells as fast as they could because of the unprecedented unknown.
　At the same time, my past experience tells me to take a look.
　Tina and Itsuna are perfectly safe.....................it should be fine.

　...No, wait.
　What about Cyanne?
　He's here in King's Landing right now.
　If he's been watching me, he's got an errand boy on his tail.
　The God of War is free. It just happened.

You son of a b*tc*!

　I was about to get up to set it off, when suddenly.
　A square, flat, board-like object was thrust in front of me.
　The color is white. The frame is gold. The contrast with the black stick-like object attached to it was striking.

　The supreme god who held that thing out to me must have had to endure a lot of patience in front of his subordinates until now.
　You can see at a glance that this is the case, and his eyes were gleaming with a strange passion.
　There was no longer any reason to hold back. There is a purpose that has been impatient in front of me.
　The Supreme God, who wore an aura that could make me feel pressured by this me, opened his mouth with such force that I could spit at him.





''Thou ... no!　A passing otherworldly tripper, Ryouji Sakahagi!　I've been a fan for a long, long time!　Sign me up, please!





Oh, welcome back, Mr. Sacagawea!　How was it?
Oh, yeah. I think I'm okay now, but I'm really nervous.
