The great mage who transcends by returning Chapter 307 Yes,
I realized it.
Aren’t you doing this just to be comfortable with me?
You can even change it up a bit if need be! Why the hell did I realize this obvious truth now!
“Thank you Thoth!”
“…Don’t thank me.”
With a melancholy expression, Thoth responded to my words with an expression that he had lived his whole life.
Of course, all the apostles around him had that expression.
Of course, that’s what I mean, I really don’t intend to force everyone to do anything too hard.
But even so… ….
“As you said, surely the time to be leisurely has passed.”
“…What would it be?”
The time to simply move with optimism for the future, whether voluntarily or unintentionally, has passed in the past.
Continentalization work under study at the tower will take time.
However, if left unattended until then, demons will surely infest it.
As long as the demons have returned, the demons have no reason to hide anymore.
They will unite around the descending Great Devil and form numerous legions, and such demons will sweep across the continent and covet the blood of the innocent.
Of course it should be blocked.
Then, until then, you need the strength to keep those demons in check.
And fortunately, that ‘power’ existed in front of me now.
“Anyway, it’s no exaggeration to say that much of the power of the Round Table has been restored. Isn’t it?”
“…Well, that’s true.”
“That means that you apostles who have prepared seats at the round table have also increased their power.”
Right now, the price of restrictions can be described as ‘weak’.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the apostles also regained considerable strength thanks to my hard work.
Moreover, it is different from before the regression.
The demons still haven’t polluted the land, and other lands are still fine, except for the Tosca Sea Kingdom, which was destroyed this time.
As Toth said, the Empire and the Churches do not just sit still.
“I need to grind some. Buy me some time with Grave Land Control.”
“What is the range?”
“Across the continent.”
At my words, Tot looked at me with an expression asking if he was sane.
“…Are you insane?”
It wasn’t a particularly strange reaction.
In fact, right now, it’s a situation where you’re barely protecting your surroundings.
In such a situation, he asked to protect the entire continent from demons.
There’s nothing strange about hearing people say they’re crazy.
but.
“You know. that you have to do.”
“….”
“The Demon God will try to erode the world by any means. Right now, they are growing their strength beyond the sea, but it will only be a matter of time before they get out of there.”
The reason I’ve been able to afford it so far is simple.
Because the demon didn’t descend.
But not anymore.
It was never a situation where you could be relaxed before, but now it’s a situation where you shouldn’t be relaxed.
Even if you show a small gap, the Demon God will in an instant squeeze through that gap and grow irreversibly.
“…damn it.”
Of course, among the apostles, there was no way that Thoth, who served as the manager of the Round Table, would not know that obvious fact.
The boy let out a small sigh and nodded.
He’s a guy with a good brain, so if you said this much, he’d move on his own.
“I really have to be prepared to die from overwork and move. How should I remodel the Round Table to expand my influence… …Oh damn.”
“First of all, since I have my own people, I will be able to do something. Let it move quickly.”
“I will move right away.”
“Well, it must be pretty busy….”
Once the direction was set, each of the apostles quickly decided what to do, and plans were drawn up accordingly.
It is true that it is impossible, but it is not impossible. So you have no choice but to succeed.
Rather, if you can block the devil’s scheme to this extent, you can say that it is a cheap business.
“Then let’s begin.”
The first step to deal with the Demon God who will descend.
It will be different from before the return.
For sure.

「….」
The demon quietly looked around this world that once belonged to her.
There is no longer a world maintained by ‘perfect creatures’ filled with glory, love and grace. Aren’t
the things that exist now the legacy of Asar, who has become irrelevant to himself?
Unpleasant bugs moving by my ‘will’ as he intended.
“…It’s cloudy. It’s unpleasant.」
Unlike in the past, the fact that they can’t be easily wiped away is so unpleasant.
Even then, there was an adversary called Asar, but isn’t it different now?
…no there is no
An existence that prevents oneself from intervening in this world at will.
He closed his eyes.
Just as he knows her, she must be aware of himself.
Of course it doesn’t mean much.
Even gods are not all the same.
As long as Asar does not exist, there is no ‘equal opponent’ for him.
But then.
“You’re still lost in delusion.”
The demon’s gaze returned to the sudden voice.
The color of the area suddenly reversed under the sky, and everything stopped.
And from where the voice was heard, a girl appeared.
“Please stop. Have you still not realized that there is no meaning?」
「Ah, Hekau.」
It’s been a long time since I called.
A cold smile crept across the demon’s lips.
It’s too cool to say that you’re seeing an existence of the same class.
「Long time no see. It’s unexpected. I never thought that by-product would grow like this.”
“….”
“You have become overly self-conscious. No matter how much I struggle, in the end I can’t reach it.」
「I don’t exist to reach you.」
「I guess so.」
The demon smiled and lightly stretched out her hand toward Hekau.
Then, at that moment, the body of Hekau, who was confronting him, twisted.
「Ehh?!」
「Because I was born that way in the first place.」
The Demon God played with Hekau casually.
「Thanks to that, I had to be kicked out for a long time, but it is meaningless now. Isn’t Asar’s blessing that protected you gone now?”
“…Ugh.」
「You were born as a divine being, but in the end, that is all. Your limits are clear and unreachable to me.”
Even now, when omniscience and omnipotence are sealed, the same is true.
Even if the two are sealed, the difference in godhood is obvious.
The value of existence is determined at the moment of birth.
You can grow to the maximum, but you can never go beyond that.
Misunderstanding that something exceeded one’s limits was also misunderstanding one’s ‘limits’.
A creature cannot surpass its Creator.
At the same time, if it is a divine being, since it was born that way in the first place, it cannot exceed the inherent superiority.
And now this gap was tantamount to proving that obvious truth.
“I will praise you. Until now, you have managed to prevent my intervention through his divine protection. Even that was expected, but it was quite a feat.”
“You still…!”
“Still.”
The demon snorted as if Hekau’s words were funny.
“I have always been like this. Rather, wasn’t he the one who went against this essence and threw himself into mortality?」
「…!」
「It was so pointless. I’ll be back anyway, and the limits of those things he hoped for were clear… ….」
Did he give up his immortality just for those things? It’s really not even funny.
The demon god laughed at his old friend who was no longer there.
“Why is God called God? You should know the answer.”
“…!”
“All-knowing.”
With those words, Hekau’s body staggered.
At that moment, the demon god reached out and grabbed his neck.
“Because you are omnipotent.”
“You, too, now….”
“Yes, it is not perfect.”
Asar was indeed a being worthy of being his antagonist.
And the scars left by the enemy were great.
To the extent that even now that he descended into this world, his authority was suppressed.
however.
“What are you saying?”
said the Demon God with a snort.
Whatever it is, it doesn’t change the fact that he possesses authority and is the master of the world with great divinity.
「Disappear, the alter ego.」
I realized right away that Hekau didn’t come here with his own body.
Keying.
Red eyes burned.
The presence of demons covers the whole area and paints the world with shadows.
It’s a matter of time.
Hekau felt that the remnants of Asar, who had been protecting the world so far, were rapidly crumbling.
She gritted her teeth.
“…It won’t go the way you think.”
“No, I’ve already succeeded once.”
“Success… …?」
Hekau’s eyes trembled.
But the demon didn’t say anything more… ….
Kwajik!
Without hesitation, he crushed Hekau’s alter ego as it was.
With a short burst of sound, her form collapsed.
A Hekau who mysteriously disappears without hesitation.
「Wouldn’t it be different if it was the second time?」
Only his muttering lingered emptyly in the empty space where nothing was left.
* * *
「Cool.」
Space by God.
Hekau let out a moan he had been holding back and knelt down.
sick.
It was a long time ago that I felt pain while existing as a god.
– Hekau!
The first hero supported Hecau’s body with a dark expression.
– Did he do something?
“It was just a little provocation. Apparently he was a bit angry, so he didn’t let go easily.”
As if he clearly knew how to inflict pain, he destroyed his alter ego very effectively.
…Still, there were results.
Because that was the reason I approached him in the first place.
Arrogance as a god.
Hatred towards humanity.
First of all, I realized that he was not in a situation where he made a perfectly ‘rational judgment’ because of the two.
and….
“As you said.”
Her gaze turned to the left.
The silver saint Ariandel was standing there.
“Did I say I left you with that ‘memory’? An important memory before time rewinds?」
“Yes.”
what is that memory
doesn’t come to mind No matter how inferior she is to him, she is also a divine being.
If you want to think about it, there will be nothing you can’t think of, but not being able to do that… ….
“The thing that made you remember was so big that you paid for your memories before returning…」
What is the truth that is so big.
What kind of information did you want to pass on to this child, even giving up a lot of things before you returned? ….
“It’s simple, my God.”
Ariandel opened his mouth about the ‘memory’ that he could definitely recall through Solomon.
“You before the return…”
So.
“He said ‘die’.”
“…!」
At those words, the eyes of Hekau as well as the first hero opened wide.
* * *
Things moved quickly.
No, to be precise, the reaction of the Empire and the Religious States was incomparably faster than before the return.
After summoning all the lords, the empire quickly prepared for war.
It seems that the church government has also gathered the archbishops and started preparing for war centered on the Holy Knights.
[The situation has changed a lot from before the regression you experienced.]
Set said that with a somewhat excited expression.
[Didn’t you say that before the return, the kingdom and the empire started in a ruined situation? It was really the worst.]
“It was.”
It was a sad time in many ways.
“Of course, we shouldn’t be unconditionally optimistic about the current situation just because the situation before the return was like that….”
[that…That’s right.]
Well, I bought time anyway.
If the apostles actively suppress the demons until I collect the rest of the divine artifacts, we will be able to effectively counter the demons.
Of course, a Demon God cannot be content with having just one kingdom in his hands.
They’ll need more sacrifices to regain their power, so they’ll use demons to devour more land.
‘They said that a great devil came down. Either way, to be honest, it won’t be easy from now on.’
The problem is this.
The number of great demons has obviously decreased, but those who will come down are the most powerful and perfect.
You shouldn’t think of the previous Pandaemonium. Fundamentally, they are completely different from them.
“Is there anything certain other than the completion of the Round Table if you completely collect all the new sets?”
[I don’t know. We’ve also talked about Asar being resurrected or a person who collects sacred objects becoming a god, but that’s just speculation.]
“Nothing is certain, I guess.”
[But one thing is for sure, from the moment you get all the sacred items, you will become the ‘top decider’ of the round table. And we will completely regain our powers.] “
…hmm.”
Certainly, the apostles who have regained their full strength will be of great help.
Besides, being able to hold the reins of those apostles as the ‘top decider’ is definitely a huge advantage.
“Then let’s go now.”
[Next grave?]
“Yes.”
The destination has been set.
The location of the next tomb.
From now on, before the demon uses a move, it will be dealt with quickly.
“The next grave…hmm.”
We already know the location of this tomb.
This time, it was precisely because I heard the information about the next trial from Thoth.
“Was it there?”
I frowned and looked down.
where is this tomb
Simple.
land of nothing.
it is below
