"The forbidden beast will transfer to the one who used the forbidden curse.

　The Forbidden Spell King spoke.

　The beast that dwells within a forbidden curse user is still small when it has just inhabited the forbidden curse.
　However, each time he used a forbidden curse, the forbidden beast that nests in his consciousness would increase in size.
　The larger it became, the more difficult it would be for the host to resist.
　The more forbidden juju they harbored, the more power they gained, and the faster they could consume their hosts.

　The forbidden beast would move from person to person.
　In other words, the more someone else used the forbidden curse, the more power the forbidden beast in someone else's consciousness who was hosting it would lose its power.
　And the person who currently has the largest forbidden beast in his or her body is

As you can see, I am.

　The Forbidden Curse King.

　In the past, when he had stopped the difference between the Holy God and the God of War, he had already been deeply undermined by the Forbidden Beast.
　However, his own willpower was far stronger.
　A willpower that was capable of opposing the forbidden beast.
　With that strong willpower, he continued to endure, but not long after, the limit was in sight.

　The Holy God Renowthred and the God of War, Ruvel Argan, combined their divine power and wisdom with each other and placed a special holy spell on him.
　The effect of this spell suppressed the beast for a time, but it didn't get rid of the beast itself.

　The encroachment of the beast would not stop.
　However, she couldn't let an unholy beast take away the one she loved.
　The sister gods did not give up.
　In order to stop the progress of the erosion, the Holy God and the God of War came up with the end of their thoughts to take the Forbidden King to the space between man and God.
　As a demigod, he thought that the world between man and God, not the world of man or the world of God, was the place where he could most strongly maintain himself.

　The name of the world in between - the prison world of the earth.

　Of the world of man, the depths of the earth.
　The depths of the earth, of the world of God.

　In the place where the two intersected, there existed an earthly prison.

So that means this is...

　I look out over the red and black world.

Yeah. This place is in the netherworld.

　The world between body and mind.

"You are here as your mind, my body is here.

　The Curse King continued to speak.

　There were other reasons for choosing the Earth's Prison Realm.
　He also intended to keep the forbidden beasts themselves as far away from the God's world as possible since they were originally on the God's side of existence.
　However, if they went to the world of man, then their own power as gods - the holy gods and the gods of war - would be weakened and they would not be able to show their true power when the time came.
　It was also a compromise, an earthly prison world.

　In fact, this journey to the Earthly Prison Realm was a gamble, almost like a prayer.
　However, the sister gods would win that gamble.
　Clearly, they had increased their resistance to the Forbidden Curse King's beast.
　However, this only slowed down the progression of the disease, so to speak, to the point of making it infinitely slower.
　It was not the fundamental solution.
　Naturally, the beast itself needed to be removed from the Forbidden City King.
　Even if it could not be removed, the power of the beast must be weakened indefinitely.

　That's when the sisters turned their attention to the Forbidden Spell King's birthplace, the Forbidden Tribe of the High True Land, a small tribe of gods who possessed a mysterious language.
　The sister gods knew the characteristics of the beast.
　The Sage God Mimila, who dwelt in the Fountain of Wisdom Grotto, knew a small amount of knowledge about the relationship between the forbidden curse and the forbidden beast.
　The sisters had heard that story.
　Without telling the Forbidden Curse King anything, the sisters went to the High True Land.
　They made the Forbidden Script tribe read the Forbidden Spellbook that belonged to the Forbidden Curse King, and the Forbidden Host--.

　He was made a forbidding spell user.


　The forbidden beast moves from person to person.
　So, the more someone else uses the forbidden beast, the more it's transferred from person to person.
　The forbidden beast in the consciousness of someone else who inhabits the forbidden beast loses its power.


　The sisters concocted a plan to create an environment in which the forbidden characters could use the forbidden curse.

　However, the forbidden characters ended up dying.
　Moreover, they could only carry two forbidden curses at most.
　Unable to bear the load of the forbidden spells, they eventually died.
　Also, compared to the number of times the Forbidden Spell King had used it, the Forbidden Script Clan's use of the Forbidden Spell was too small.

　The 'body' of the beast still didn't move from the Forbidden Spell King.
　It had only been able to take away its size slightly.

　The plan was off.
　And this revealed that the Forbidden Curse King was a special being.
　He was the only one who had the power to oppose the beast in a bizarre way.

　The Holy God was tormented and tormented by the guilt of sacrificing the forbidden tribe.
　From the beginning, the Holy God was against this method.
　The God of War, on the other hand, had run out of forbidden characters because he could reduce the burden of the King of Forbidden Spells, albeit only slightly.

　Maybe the God of War had already gone mad.
　The Holy God later told the Forbidden Curse King that.

　A mad god.
　A goddess who became a mad god due to her fanaticism for her loved ones.

　The God of War entrusted the Holy God to take care of the Forbidden Curse King, and now he extended his hand to the world of men.
　But soon there was a problem.
　No one was able to read the forbidden characters, the characters of the forbidden curse.
　Moreover, the language that should also be called the 'forbidden language' used by the forbidden king and the forbidden character tribe couldn't be 'memorized' by the holy and military gods in any way.

　Curse.
　To the extent that the language itself was felt to be a curse, the language that invoked the forbidden curse refused to be understood by many.
　Even the wise god Mimila raised a white flag against the forbidden language.

　There were other problems as well.
　It was the existence of the fittest.
　The sisters used the inherited wisdom of the gods and divine abilities to the fullest extent to study and analyze the 'colors' of the Forbidden Spell King.
　It took a long, long time.
　They had to spend a long, long time.
　The next host must be someone who can handle the Forbidden Curse Language, and must have this 'color'.
　The number of forbidden spellbooks is also limited, though there is still room for more.
　Things must be carried carefully.

　And after an absurdly long period of research, the sisters finally find the color that is closest to the color.
　The person who has the closest color to this color is the one who is the right person to use the forbidden spell.

That person is me?
"The only thing we found out was the 'state' of 'there is a fittest'. I didn't know whether the person with the aptitude is in the world of God or man. Therefore, we do not even know what kind of person possesses that color, and we have no choice but to summon them.

　So it's almost like he was just going to summon the right person somewhere, for now.
　In other words, it's not as if he had pinpointed the other world--the earth.

But it seems like you're quite familiar with the culture of the world I was from before, but...
They are all knowledge you acquired from yourself when they entered your consciousness. You must have acquired a great deal of knowledge before you came to us.

　............
　I just got it from the internet and reading, so I didn't have much in the way of what we call 'glorious, rich, real-life experience'.

But I didn't think that the person in charge was a human being in a completely different world from ours.

　After hearing the story so far, I'm starting to see the story for me.
　In short.

But now I understand. So the Holy Spirit and the God of War wanted me to use a bunch of forbidden beasts to transfer them from you to me, to save you from being consumed by them?
'That's how it is. If you can do the summoning ritual many times, summoning an overflowing number of people who can use the forbidden language from your world, which is partly 'connected' by the summoning, it wasn't impossible to do that. I'm sure that Lunou would have objected to such a method of mass sacrifice.

　Okay.
　And if it's written in Japanese, at least 100 million people can read it.
　If you can summon an unlimited number of people, even if you're not the right person, you can still beat them in numbers.
　However, the summoning ceremony is not something that can be used over and over again.
　Furthermore, from what I've heard, there is a way to summon them, but there is no way to send them back.

It's not just a matter of time before they are summoned from another world," he said. It will take some time before their power returns.

　Then you two need to keep me from using the forbidden curse at all costs.

But, you know,

　I'll be bold enough to ask, "You're bound by the Ninth Curse.

"Now you're using the Ninth Curse to bind the forbidden beast. After fighting the Four Wesen Plagues, I saw you also chaining up a forbidden beast in the darkness. That's why the forbidden beast was unable to move into my consciousness when I was exhausted from using the forbidden curse for a long time... that's how I interpreted it.

　So the Forbidden Curse King has saved me.

　They want me to use the Forbidden Spell and transfer the Forbidden Beast from the Forbidden Spell King to me.
　But the Forbidden Spell King's actions are more of an obstacle to that.
　Besides.
　If I remember what the Forbidden Spells King just said, and the conversation we had when we met here before, it seems that my summoning was solely based on the decisions of the Holy God and the God of War.
　It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with them.

"I couldn't do anything to undermine their feelings.

　Those guys.
　The Holy Spirit and the God of War.

But as I watched you, I couldn't help but notice that you're not very good at this. I'm sorry. I can't help it.

　The voice of the Forbidden King was gentle.
　It didn't sound like someone who was planning to sacrifice me to a beast.

'That woman- that woman- Currier Versteen and Cecily Arkwright's presence is not good.
The curriers?
"Currier Verstein is Louvain, Cecily Arkwright is Rene, and the way you're always so clumsily looking out for each other is very much like you, Louvain. And my relationship with Luno is overlapping.

　The Forbidden King says nostalgically.

'I was happy without any worries, back then.

　He sounded like he was chewing on the happiness that existed in the distant past.

'But what about you?'
Huh?
The Forbidden Beast is still inside you, isn't it?
"Dana.
Are you sure you want to do this, and...?
That's all right. At least not by yourself. When they get their strength back, I'll look for someone else to take their place. I'll be able to look after myself for a few more hundred years.
No, but...
"I'll keep the forbidden beast at bay until you die. Not until you're dead. That is why you must use the forbidden curse without concern for anything else. It is the best I can do to make amends for having brought you into this world.
But you'll be using the Ninth Conjuring for that long. That'll speed up the process of the beast's invasion, right?　It's not like that...
Well. That should give them 500 years. It's going to be about 150 years until they have the power to summon the next fittest from the other world. It's going to be okay.
..........
I'm sorry. I'm sorry to have gotten you involved in all this. If there was anything else I could do to make amends, I would cooperate with you but unfortunately I am too busy holding that beast at bay. I'm sorry.

　I'm face down.

'Don't apologize this is just a consequence, but I'm glad I was called into this world. I've learned to enjoy working hard for something. I've made someone I care about so much that I'm willing to risk my life for it. I feel like coming to this world has changed me a little bit, like I've changed a little bit.

　I had become unmoved by anything.
　I had become emotionless.
　I was dead.

　The cold stone that the Forbidden King had shown me the first time we were relative - Ishi.

　Maybe that was my dead heart.
　It is said that the one who took that away was the Forbidden Spell King.
　Such as I was, right after I came to this world, I felt everything was new to me.

　The "feeling" I had when I first met Currier-san may have been the "impression" I got from the Isi that the King of the Forbidden Spell took away.

　But.........that was the reason I met her.
　The feelings that overflowed at that time ended up being real in the end.
　Regardless of the intentions, if the Holy God and the God of War hadn't called me to this world, I wouldn't have been able to meet the 'them'.

''Forbidden King........Holy God, Military God....

　So.

I have to say thank you.

　The forbidden king lets out a sneaky laugh.

'Kukku, the goddesses are stunned, Souraku Kurohiko Yo?　He is a very ugly man. More summons, more abuse, more lamentations about the unreasonableness of being summoned without permission....　All it took was a few words of thanks and.......well, I guess the noise lady hit the nail on the head.

　I looked around for a while.

By the way, the Holy Spirit and the God of War do not show themselves...?
Basically, God's voice is inaudible and invisible to man. God can see you and hear you.
The Forbidden King is ... oh, because he's a demigod.
That's what I'm talking about. Well, there are times when they are temporarily in contact with each other as a mental body, never invisible or unheard........　Ha, I see.
"?　What's going on?
They want me to tell you that they're sorry.
Ha-ha, there's nothing wrong with that.
But... But this guy... it's not like he's insensitive or anything, you know?

　Sigh.
　Cecily says I'm slow sometimes....
　I try to keep my antennae up as much as possible, but.

"I wonder if I'm too slow, I guess....
The sharper they are, the faster they come to the end of the matter.
You mean?　What do you mean by that?

　Zap.

Guh!

　The black spear that flew into the coffin was thrust into the coffin.
　Huh?
　What?

Tsk, Louvais, you're supposed to be able to tell a pure-hearted person what a nonsense they are.

　is a play on hard gods.........
　Oh, by the way.

That spear looks like the spear of the Ninth Forbidden Curse... can you use it too, Mr. War God?
The ninth incantation is a forbidden curse that I created. The Spear of Louvae is like a replica of the Second World. It's not exactly a forbidden curse.
Hmm ... what?

　What did you just say?
　The Ninth Forbidden Spell is the Forbidden Spell created by the King of Forbidden Spells...?

Eeeeeeeeee?
A by-product of getting too close to a beast... but originally there were only eight forbidden curses. I've got a handy one for you. You can tie up forbidden animals.

　Light.
　Forbidden spells.
　How could a forbidden spell be so light?

　I had seen it when I came here before, but the black shields, armor, and castles lying around the Forbidden Curse King's coffin are also products of his generation.......like replicas.

''By the way, only the ninth forbidden curse has no load compared to the other forbidden curses?
It's only the Ninth that is unburdened, or maybe it's just that it's part of your consciousness that lives in your mind.
So, where does the Second World come into play in the first place?
We need a means of attack, don't we?　Well, it can be used after this because there is no tenth forbidden curse. By the way, I've never used that arm of the eighth. It's like a spontaneous occurrence of the ninth curse.

　So that's why the Ninth is the only one that's forbidden.

That's why the ninth is the only one unique among the forbidden spells. It seems to be based on the forbidden curse and the forbidden beast, a sacred spell created by an eight-legged beast...

　The holy spell....

"The forbidden beast has been defiled, and the sacred spell has been defiled.
Defilement?
The reason for this is unknown, but it is said that there are many things in this world that have been transformed by the defilement. If they are bad, they are soaked in the dirt that even their original names have been changed. The forbidden beast Zuarivinermo, which is said to have been the strongest and fastest favorite horse driven by Odysoguzeia, must have had a different name before it was tainted by the dirt. C
Is it because of something other than the gods...?
"There may be some other beings besides the gods, humans, and sub-humans who have the element of the gods. Or maybe it's just a phenomenon that resembles a disaster...
God doesn't see everything either, does he?
"He is the sage god who is said to have been the former counselor of Odysoguzeia, for there are things he does not know. God is not omniscient or omnipotent. He can interfere to some extent when he's given a blessing. By all means, he can make mistakes. There might be an error in the flight path of Soraku Kurohiko, and he might end up flying to a place that wasn't intended for him.

　Hmm?

''I wasn't deliberately sent near St. Renow's Red Academy, was I?
"You were actually supposed to be summoned to the Ruvell Argan Warfare Tower, weren't you?　The room where I was going to summon him was filled with one of the nine curses that I once spread around. It was supposed to be you who read it first, and then you were to be protected by the Divine Punishment Unit. Now they're looking for people to help them. Without going into details, they must have used you as a pawn by making special exceptions and so on.

　The fact that I was sent to an unexpected place caused Gunjin to panic.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one," he said, "but by chance Kurohiko Sagara happened to learn the ninth curse. We were at a loss for words for that.

　The sister gods, who had exhausted their power with the summoning, could not interfere and could only watch over the fittest.
　As a result, Soraku Kurohiko was caught up in the flow of using the forbidden curse as planned.
　The sister gods were apparently relieved there.
　However, it was as if they hadn't expected the Forbidden Spell King to have an emotional attachment to the suitable person.

''Beyond that, you continue to disappoint me at every turn. I'm not sure if it's a good idea for you to be able to do that.

　Incidentally, the rejuvenation was due to the good intentions of the Forbidden Curse King.
　It was apparently the Holy God who performed the resurrection and rejuvenation of his dead mind, who was asked to do so by the Forbidden Curse King.
　I got permission from the God of War and used my remaining power to perform the interference.
　After using that power, the goddesses were said to be in a panic because I was sent to Renowthred instead of Ruvel Argan.

''..........''

　But was it an irregularity that he was sent to Renowthread?

　If I had been sent to Ruvelargan as planned, I wonder if there would have been another alternate world life....
　It seems good to be sent to Renousled now, but I'm a bit curious about what it would have been like.
　So, did you and Shana meet in a different way, too?

Can I ask you something?
Huh?
''There was an earth tremor in the Holy Ruins before.......and I was dropped into a strange room full of different species. Was that........the interference of a military or holy god?
No. As I said before, these people don't have any power left to interfere in the affairs of humanity.
'But the holy relics sprawling under the Holy Tree have something to do with the Holy God Renowthred, right?

No, that's not right either. To begin with--

　The Forbidden King said.

''It's not just the Holy Ruins, it's the Holy Tree Mo, something that has nothing to do with the Holy God, Renowthred, as if it has nothing to do with the Holy God, Renowthred.
...What?

　This surprised me.
　The people of Renowthred seemed to believe in the Holy Tree and the Holy God in a deep way.

It's only the humans who call them holy ruins. Even if those white demons were weakened by the blessings of the Lunou, they are just demons that have been weakened by the blessings of the Lunou.
So that's it.

　In other words, the demon that was called a 'different species' was the original form.
　By the way, the sister gods have lost most of their power now, but they still have the power of the blessings they gave in the past.

''Hm?　If that's the case, then the anomaly in the Holy Ruins of the sudden increase in the number of different species--
Your summons has weakened the power of the Runo's protection.

　Oh my God.

"But the blessing should still be effective. In the first place, without the blessing of Lunou, the demons in the ruins would be climbing up the stairs without a care in the world, and they wouldn't be able to go to the ground and dissolve. That dissolution is the curse Lunou placed on the monsters.
But because of my summons, a different species...
Hey, you don't have to feel responsible for that. Besides, when Lunow has given you his blessing, it's been as good as Renowthread's goodwill towards humanity's faith. Therefore, it is not your duty to do so. If anyone is to be blamed, the blame must go to us.

　Some things remain unexplained, but this is the end of this story - the air released by the forbidding curse king told me so.

''..........''

　Even so, I didn't know that the Holy Ruins and the Holy Tree had nothing to do with the Holy God Renowthred.

Then what in the world is the Holy Tree...?
Maybe it's something that's been around a long time before we existed.

　When Mia-san first explained the Holy Tree to me, she told me that it is said to be the origin of this world....

''We don't know what that is, either.
